MMS In the UK, Work Around

HI, I have been looking round the net for work arounds to send MMS from the iphone.. There seem to be solution for the US market ie. sending via email to the carrier with the recipients number... Has anyone in the UK found that they can do this?
Regards
Mark

Ask the person you want to exchange MMS with (who is a Virgin Mobile subscriber) to send you an MMS addressed to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's email client. The sender of the MMS will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS.
The MMS will be received as an email with a photo attached to the message. This will give you the sender's cell phone email address - or the correct format.
Enter this email address for the contact in your iPhone's address book.
Select a photo to be sent as an email message to this person and address the message to this email address. The email will be received as an MMS.

I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.

Requisitioners do not know the price of the items - Work Around Required

Hi,
The users who raise the Requisions at my company, they do not know the price of the items to be procured at that time. To get the prices you need to go through RFQ and quotation cycle which comes after raising the Requisition
So the requests are raised to the Procurement department via emails and consequently the RFQ and Quotation flows are handled manually outside the system. Once the prices are finalized they are placed on the Requisition and the PO Autocreated.
We would like to go through the whole flow in PO Module. Can you one suggest a work around or solution to the problem
Thanks

at one of my clients, implementation was going on
and they had the same issue
the workaround sandeep gave is practicable but if you see the standard way, a requisition is made first followed by an RFQ, quote and finally a PO
But some ppl dont want to go into RFQ to quote cycle
so what we did at that company was that the users raising requisitions unaware of the price entered a zero amount, and some used the list price that defaults from item master.
The buyer who is actually aware of the market enters the price there for that item ..If he is not sure about the price due to any reason, suppose due to unstable market or high fluctuations in price than he negotiated price on phone with thier routine suppliers for years and got the best price.
if purchasing history is seen, it is based on PO
If item price history or average trend is seen,its based on PO
all of the baove is justa work around since you asked for one
well there are other workarounds too
hope this helps youu

Itunes 11.1.1.11 home sharing doesnt work on Windows 7 - whats the latest work around??

Hi all, i know there is lots of stuff going around about this but the fixes i want to try dont work. I have changed to compatibility mode and restarted the computer and itunes and started home sharing to no avail. We have an ATV2, ATV3, ipad mini, Ipad 2, ipad3, 3 x iphone 4 and 1 x iphone 5 that all worked perfect before the latest round of updates. The ATV's, itunes and all the IOS devices have the latest versions and thats when it all stopped.
I dont want to delete every trace of itunes from the computer like some have suggested.
Now What??
Thanks for anythin you can suggest.

Doing a bonjour repair using "uninstall program" on windows 7 resolved this for me, the AirPlay icon came back in iTunes and Home sharing showed up on my Apple Tv 3 again. :-)

Work around for the JDialog in front problem

Of the many work arounds offered here is another:
Open the dialog in a new thread, and make it modal.
public void showMyDialog(){
new DlgThread().start();
class DlgThread extends Thread{
public void run(){
MyDialog m = new MyDialog(MyApp.this, "Title", true);
m.show();
OR
download a runtime library like skinlf that gives complete control over JFrame and JDialog behavior.

I have tested your utiity, but it does not work with my booklet. Do you have a gudline how to include ?
Thx

BO 4.1 SP3 WebI section space Issue - Work around

System:
SAP BO 4.1 SP3 Update
Windows 2008 R2 Std x64 Edition SP1
Universe - Single Source UNX
We upgraded from SP2 to SP3 recently and while working on the WebI report, I noticed that WebI reports with Section creates big spaces between sections and the table block. There is a setting to adjust the Top header vs actual section header space using Format Section. But in the View Mode, there will be lot of space between table blocks due to the Section boundary.
So, I read web articles and tried couple of options but in vain. But the following work around helped me to overcome this issue !!
I tried to create it from a new 'Add report' in the same WebI report, so that I can reuse my earlier tables/cross tabs etc.
1. At the bottom of the WebI report Right click the tab -> Add report -> In the new sheet go to Report Elements -> Section -> Insert Section and select the object from the UNX.
2. A new section is created.
3. Now check whether you can adjust the section size manually. If yes, then copy the Header content / table blocks from the problematic tab to this new tab;
4. You can use the newly created section report for other problematic report tabs.
The above steps are work around ONLY.
For me it looks like a SAP Product bug. If anyone else had similar issue please post your comments !!
Thanks,
Chithresh

Are you also having issues with merged dimensions that are used on the sections?
I've had to unmerge, merge, and create the section again. It throws an error if I don't do that.

Script to work around Illustrator bugs

Newbee here,   We are working in Illustrator CS5. I have put together some scripts & Actions to automate several parts of our work.
     I'll start with what we have now. Plus what we have now works on both Mac & PC & if there is a way to work around these BUGS it will need to work on both the Mac's & PC's.
1) We have an .ai file (our default format) that we can open up & inside some text will automatically fill in when we run a script. (see custom script at bottom) Some text boxes will fill in the date based on the present date on our computer, some text boxes will fill in a name based on the name of the electronic .ai file.
See red boxes.
One difficulty that I worked out is, sometimes in one of the fields in the file, it needs to have a name consisting of only 4 sections (or 3 dashes). In example: ILSLIM = 1, EXAMPLE = 2, TEST = 3, & AA01 = 4.
So when this happens then the last dash in this one text box on our format (Not any of the other text boxes) will need the 3rd dash removed (now it is only 3 sections because TESTAA01 are now one).
So I created an Illustrator "Action" that will after the "ChangeFileNameDate" script is run, the "Action" will select the one text box & then run the "Find and Replace" to delete the 3rd dash as seen above.
NOW THE PROBLEMS! (Illustrator bugs)
1) In the Illustrator "Actions" when you record an "Action" & use the "Insert Menu Item..." to put a Script in, it will work. BUT when you quit out of Illustrator & then relaunch it the custom Script will disappear. I looked into this & this is a known bug for years in Illustrator that is still not fixed.
http://js4ai.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-permanently-tie-script-to-action.html
Works untill you quit out & relaunch.
BEFORE QUIT.
AFTER RELAUNCH.
SO the only work around I can get to work for now is to "Insert Menu Item..." "Other Script..." & this will stay even after relaunch BUT then every time we run the "Action" we have to manually select the script. (CRAP)
Still here after relaunch.
PLUS A BUG with recording the "Find and Replace". In case you do not know, when you save "Actions" in Illustrator you can; save any of the actions that require a dialog box; 1) to either have the dialog box come up so you can enter whatever you need into it or 2) you can have the dialog box NOT come up & the action will just do what it had in it when you recorded it. This feature is turned on or off by clicking the box next to the check mark on or off (see pic).
So the BUG is, for my "Actions" that use the "Find and Replace" to delete the dash to work for some reason I have to have the first "Find and Replace" steps dialog botton ON so that the "Find and Replace" dialog box will open up.
     Let me explain, when you record to use the "Find and Replace" it will work fine even with the dialog box option clicked off; but if you quit Illustrator & then relaunch it & try to run the "Actions" that have the "Find and Replace" in them then Illustrator will crash. So the only work around that I found for this CRAPPY BUG is to simply have the 1st "Find and Replace" in the recorded "Action" with the dialog box set to on (to open up when Action is run) & then we have to manually close it. We don't have to type anything inside of it. We simply have to have it open & then close. Then for some reason the rest of the recorded "Actions" will run with out the dialog boxes opening with the deleteing of the 3rd dash as like when I 1st recorded it.
     So basically, if I want the "Actions" to work at this point I would have to do this; every time I relaunch Illustrator I would need to manually load the custom script into the "Actions" & I would need to open & close the "Find and Replace" box. This is CRAP the whole point of "Actions" & Scripts are so I can do everything MANUALLY, NO. We should be able to have it work for us!
OR maybe this would be the best solution!
     If inside the "ChangeFileNameDate" custom script it could simply open & then close the "Find and Replace" box (that would solve the crashing with "Find and Replace" in "actions") then the custom script could cause the "Action" to play instead of the "Action" causing the custom script to play. Then all we would have to do is drag down to the custom script from "File" & run that. No crashing, No babysitting.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW OR IF THIS IS POSSIBLE? To add to the attached script:
1) At the beginning to open & close the "Find and Replace" box.
2) At the end to cause a saved "action" to run.
WE WOULD BE SO VERY, INCREDIBLY, EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!

Carlos or anyone, I've been working on several ideas & think that I have come up with the best approach to work around these bugs. But need it to work in java script.
1) In AppleSript I can build a script that will trigger an "Action" to run. The "Action" will select an object by its "Attributes" "Note". The selected text box in picture is called "UPPER FORDDOC NAME" so it will select this object only.
activate application "Adobe Illustrator"
on doAction(scriptName, actionSet)
          tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
do script scriptName from actionSet
          end tell
end doAction
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
          tell me to doAction("Save Part # Delete -", "TIC Color 03-13-12")
end tell
Can this be done in Java?
If so then:
2) I built an AppleScript that can open the "Find and Replace" then simply close it; by using "System Events" to select the keystrokes.
Is this possible to do in Java with out buying an extra program? This AppleScript works great but need it to work also on the PC's.
activate application "Adobe Illustrator"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Adobe Illustrator"
--This is the quick key to open the "Find and Replace" window
keystroke "K" using {command down, shift down, option down}
delay 1
--This is the esc key
key code 53
end tell
end tell
I HOPE SO ssssssssoooooooo MUCH!

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

Printing Problem Solved (Temporary Work-around)

I've posted before, and others have posted here and elsewhere, about problems printing with Aperture since upgrading to Leopard. In my case, it's been with an Epson R1800.
Well, believe it or not, with the help of Epson support on the phone, I've figured this out. First of all, there is definitely a problem with Aperture's (or Leopard's) color management. What used to work (setting a color profile in the Aperture print dialog, and selecting "no color management" in the printer dialog) definitely does not work correctly at this point.
If you want color management, what you have to do is select "System Managed" in the Aperture print dialog, and select (for Epson) "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog. What this does is select the standard Epson profile for the paper you have selected. For example, if you've chosen Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, the printer driver will use the "SPR1800 Premium Glossy" profile (Epson's standard profile for that paper, assuming you've downloaded it). Of course, that gives you Epson's version of what you want to print. If you have created your own profiles, using a spectrophotometer for example, you need to get the printer driver to apply YOUR profile instead of Epson's.
Here's how to apply your profile: Open Colorsync (in the Utilities folder), and select "Printers" in the Devices menu. Under the printer model, Stylus Photo R1800, in my case, select the profile for the paper you're interested in, say "SPR1800 Premium Glossy", and look on the right side of the window at "Current Profile:". Click the down arrow, and select "Other". Navigate to the profile you've created, and click "Open". This will set the profile you've created as what the printer driver will use when it thinks it's applying the SPR1800 Premium Glossy profile. Set other paper profiles (e.g., "SPR1800 Enhanced Matte") to whatever profile you've created for those papers.
Now, when you select "System Managed" in the Aperture dialog, and "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog, it will apply your own profile.
Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem with color management, and we'll be able to go back to color management as it was before. In the meantime, this is the only work-around I've found.

I was/am totally a Mac guy, meaning my roots were System 7 based, and my knowledge of all things UNIX is being built slowly as needed in the OS X world. While I can make Photoshop & Aperture (and the GUI portions of OS X) stand on their heads and do backflips for treats I can't, with much conviction, speak on the roots of UNIX drivers. I think, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that Gutenprint drivers are CUPS 'compatible' drivers, but not necessarily "CUPS" drivers in that they work with other printing platforms as well. Here are some sources of info:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
http://www.cups.org/
The Gutenprint drivers may be the CUPS drivers for the Epson printer, I don't know for sure. On the Canon site, there are two drivers available for download for the Pro9000. One labeled standard, the other labeled CUPS. By default, when adding the printer, my system uses the CUPS driver. I can actually have the Pro9000 added twice, once with the CUPS driver, once with the standard driver. I spoke with an Canon engineer the other day, and contrary to the advice you get from the standard phone support reps, he told me to definitely use the CUPS driver when printing RAW or 16-bit images from Photoshop or Aperture, as it's the only way to do 16-bit printing.

Except, as it stands now... Every time I quit the FCPX app, I have to do the same work-around:
Quit FCPX
Open GarageBand
Quit Garageband
Re-Open FCPX
This is cumbersome to do EVERY TIME I launch into my project (after quitting the app.)
Is this a known bug?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone have a permanent solution?
Thanks.

Try running the java commands as root:
bzn:~ bzn$ java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib
bzn:~ bzn$ sudo java -version
Password:
java version "1.6.0_22"

bzn:~ bzn$
I've had to do this with a lot of other command-line tools since I installed 10.6 ... sips ... textutil ...
Hope this helps.

Audio encoding hang work around

After scouring this discussion and the internet, it seems the following is true:
1) The source of the audio encoding delay is the conversion of the audio to an iDVD friendly format;
2) There is indeed progress being made even though the activity monitor may say not or you may get a not responding message;
3) There are two work arounds that work well, but with a properly debugged iDVD we should not have to do this nonsense. Here's to iLife '07 fixing this mess, hopefully.
So, as to #1, even if you first convert the audio and then lay down the audio to the iMovie project there are still delays, especially with longer movies. It is quite apparent that this is an iDVD bug as other programs convert audio files quickly. (As to camera audion, you have to make sure you are in 16 bit with your camera.)
As to #2, by looking at the package contents (Command I) you can see the progress of the audio encoding even when you think it is hung and even if you get a not responding message. To do this open your local disk, go to documents which is where iDVD puts them, and look for the title of your project, highlight it and hit Command I. Note the bytes, close the info dialog, and then reopen again. You may need to do this a few times depending on RAM, clock speed, etc., but you should see a change in bytes after awhile. If so, there is progress being made, as painstakingly slow as it may be. (A 1h53m movie took about 40 hours on my G5 with 1.5MB RAM! Not acceptable!)
As to #3, the same thing is being accomplished, by different means. In both case you are creating a new file that handles the audio encoding on the way out and then reimporting with audio encoded. In the first, you export to your camera and then turn around and import into a new iMovie project. Add your chapters and then open from iDVD. Save as a disc image and then burn from the Disc Utility application which can be found under Utilities.
The other work around is sharing to Quicktime and then reimporing to iMovie as a new project, and do the same as above. Following the latter, it took me 40 hours plus before took about 5 hours.
I hope this saves you all some time.

I think I may have found a solution to my problem. It seems
to be related to how much resources(RAM) I have available to the
program. If I try a lower resolution setting it works fine. If I
set the priority of the program high I can use higher
resolutions.

Getting a "sticky" for all LP8 problems and work arounds/solutions?

Any chance we could get a sticky on this? It would be a lot faster than going thru the "Search Forum" option.
List the known issues
List the fix/work around for the issue
Rob

We asked for that in the L7 forum for years and got little in terms of a response (see below). And definitely no sticky!
Sure, there are a few knowledge base documents that describe issues with L8, but in general, acknowledging known problems is not something Apple does, unfortunately. How do I know this? Well, experience. And also, from what they have to say about their software in the Getting Started guide:
"Experience has shown that such system _problems are rarely caused by a defect in Apple programs or hardware products_. All Apple hardware and software is _rigorously tested_ by a diverse range of musicians and studio users, from a variety of fields and uses, who look for any faults or problems.
This doesn’t mean that the possibility of errors can be completely ruled out; problems can crop up periodically. This is not unexpected—as the various applications, operating system versions, and drivers—are all developed, and improved in parallel by unrelated programming teams. This can lead to occasional compatibility problems. _Apple provides fixes in the form of software updates, as soon as such problems are identified._ Apple is always grateful to users who report any problems."
(emphasis added by iSchwartz)
If that isn't a profound mixture of truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.
Now... there is some kind of "tips" board somewhere amongst Apple's Discussion Forums. When the subject of having a sticky came up once on the L7 board a while ago, a mod suggested that I submit tips/workarounds for inclusion on that board. I checked it out and it's a freekin' nightmare to find anything. And "submitting" tips means that someone has to approve it, and who knows if that person would be Logic-savvy or not. So there it is...

Updating apps issue (3/26/2015): verified work-around

If you have the issue where the App Store on your iOS device is displaying an OPEN button rather than an UPDATE button, here is the current work-around. Thanks go to "jguchte2" from the following topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6593179?start=15&tstart=0
jguchte2 wrote:
"Force-close the App Store app
Open the App Store app
The app starts at the tab "Featured"
Now comes the tricky part: press the "Updates" tab and immediately the "Update All" button. Apps should now be updating."
In addition, I myself have found the following...you need to let at least one app update completely for the issue to clear. If you have multiple devices, you need to do the same procedure for each device. Clearing it on one device has NO effect on other devices you may have, despite logging out/logging back in to your App Store account.

Well, despite this work-around initially working, the App Store and it's problem with updating apps has once again returned after working for about 1/2 hour. I'm not going to fool with this anymore as it seems to be totally on Apple's end. If I need an app updated, I'll do so through iTunes and sync the updated app over to the device.
Hopefully, Apple will resolve this in a decent time frame.

Having trouble emailing photos through mms work around

So I read the post concerning the mms pic work around through emails and thought I'd give it a try.
I've gone through pics in iPhone, selected one, use email option and sent to an att number using two different emails.
1st [email protected]
The second attempt was [email protected]
Neither sends, and phone says that items went to an out box which I have not found.
If I check email it says 2 unsent messages, tries to send them and never dose.
So what am I doing wrong?
Also, can't find outbox, I use yahoo.
Thant for help.

Thanks, since the post I ve tried to email a pic to myself through the photo email option( to my regular email) and it says it is rejected by server.
So now i believe that it just something wirh my phone photo email option. I cab send emails through the mail option but if i goto photos to send, ut will be rejected.
Hmm I'd do a search but I'm the phones edge right now and would take awhile.
Can you send photo emails?

The App Store asks to "verify" my personal information, For my name, state, credit card, etc. I don't even live in the US and I don't have a CC, nor do I want to give away my personal information. I just want to download free apps. Any work-arounds?

Title says it all.
I'm really getting sick of websites getting more and more into your business. Google forcing you to get a G+ account and asking for your identifying information, for example (like your phone number).
It's extremely irritating, and I'm opting out of everything that enforces the such. If Apple begins pushing like this, I will just close my relationship with the company and obtain apps by using third-party software to force them onto the phone.
But before going that far, I'd like to find work arounds.
First of all, I don't even know why it asks me for my "state". I don't even live in the USA anymore, as I moved to China (though I won't use the Chinese store as I don't speak or understand the local language, which is Chinese).
All I want... is to continue using the English App Store to get free apps from here in my home in China, without getting stopped by Apple asking for more info on me. I don't want to share my name, I don't want to share my address, and I can't even complete the form as I no longer have a "state" and don't have any credit info.
So that's just that. If there's no way around it I'll find another way to install apps without the App Store.
Sorry for the message tone, I'm just really irritated with the way the internet is getting.
Thanks in advance!

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.
