More of a forum question...

I am wondering why some of my past posts aren't listed in "My Posts." As far as i know, I've haven't said anything inflamatory. Funny, yes, inflammatory, no.
Anybody have any ideas?

well
if it isn't on your list "MY POSTS" and the thread it was in is gone then they are gone
if you were the "reason" a thread got pulled you would have gotten an email from the Hosts informing you of that. if you weren't the "reason" then there would be no email.
if you have any more questions about how the discussions work it would be best to ask in the FEEDBACK Section at the top level of the discussions http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1076

OTN Discussion Forum questions are gone

My OTN Discussion Forum questions seem to have been deleted. They were only about 1-2 months old. Does anyone know if they are deleted or archived after a certain time period? I'd like to find them for reference if anyone knows how to do that?

You are posting today's question with username 18e07053-637d-44a1-97ce-f070d9c69384
That is a system-generated name for a new account.
Were those other posts created with the same user account?
Have you recently tried to change your login name (which has been known to totally muck up user profiles, by the way) ?
The site software has no possible ability to magically merge postings from multiple accounts.
I suggest you try to remember older threads and find them using the site search function.
If you can find those threads, you might be able to see if they were posted with the same user account or some previous account.
Once you do that, you can return to this thread and give us all more information on what you may have found..

Can iPad or Android tablets reply to forum questions?

Can the iPad be used to write replies to forum questions?
I ask because I have been using an Android tablet recently and though it can be used to input text into browser etc. text fields, it stubbornly refuses to reveal its keyboard when I try to respond to forum questions.
I don't know whether it is a fault with my device, user error or whether iPads and other tablets just can't be used for this purpose.

It completely depends on the specific forum/post you are thinking about.
As stedman1 pointed out, the mobile versions of browsers (i.e., iPad safari, etc.) are almost always limited with respect their desktop versions. For example, if your forum uses flash to post messages, you will never be able to post a message using an iPad at this moment since iPad does not support flash.
That being said, the web has started to be more mobile (and getting more in each day). Most of the websites (and forums) have either dedicated mobile web versions, where they make sure that you can access all information as you were in a normal computer. If that does not work, they even create dedicated apps (there are iPad apps for some webpages) so that you can post/explore the webpage through the app.
Also, one final (and maybe not yet good solution) is to use cloud browsers. The idea with these browsers is that they run on servers and transmit the webpage back to you as images. Your actions (click, keyboard input, etc.) are also captured and transmitted back to the server. This way, you can emulate a real desktop browser on your iPad, which will have the same limitations (or unlimitations) as a desktop browser.
If you have a specific webpage, etc. in mind, just tell us and we can check on your behalf.

I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos. The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages)..... Do the following have free copyright

I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos.
The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....
Do the following have free copyright to publish on facebook and U Tube?
1.Garage band sounds?
2.Slide show...Sample music and Theme music?
3.iMovie...iMovie sounds and iLife sounds ie.Medal Ceremony and Memorial etc?
I note one can publish to shared net places directly from iMovie so one assumes these are copyright free for non-profit making and non-comercial use.
It is impossible to contact apple direct.No email address.We put our selves at risk without this knowledge and like applemac, facebook will not communicate direct.Will applemac please take responsibility for copyright/the above that they are all too willing to sell to us but not support us with that knowledge.
I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 (2009 bought in 2010)

Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.

Forum question: How to set Show All Messages as default?

I seem to remember there was a way to set this as a default, so that when one clicks on a topic, all new (unread) posts are shown. Currently, I only see a subset of the new postings, and I have to click on "Show All Messages" to see them all. The number shown initially seems to be arbitrary. I know that postings that I've read will not show up, but how can I get all unread postings to show by default?
Thanks!

Re: More specific to two questions

Hi everybody,
I have been watching this debate with interest. I encountered similar
situation and realised that even after calling the method
ReleaseDistReference on DistObjectMgr, the object is live ( Probably
some time before garbage collection kicks in) and can be binded using
ObjectLocationManager.BindObject() method. This caused some problems to
us. This object is not invalidated for further use. Can somebody from
Forte answer this ?

Hi, Boris
Your helps are really appreciated!
I've already read this part and other relevant materials of Forte
document.
So far, what I understand is if an object is anchored, the garbage
collector
will be not automatically applied to it. You must explicitly add it
to the
list of the garbage collection.
Also, many thanks to all who have helped me in this topic.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but just in case...
Take a look at ReleaseDistReference method of DistObjectMgr class.
The following is an excert from Forte Help on the topic:
"This method is needed because the distributed object manager keepsa
list of all anchored objects that have been handed out asdistributed
references, or are anchored objects that are being used asdistributed
references in other partitions. Invoking the ReleaseDistReferencemethod
lets the distributed object manager remove the object from itsinternal
list, which can then allow memory management to occur on theobject."

Cannot View Older Forum Questions and Bookmarking

Hi,
I noticed in the Lightroom for Beginners forum that you can only view one page of forum questions. You cannot view older forum questions/posts (i.e. pages 2,3,4...). There also is no way to bookmark and/or follow questions/topics/discussions.
Unless I just have a crazy computer
Is it possible to update the forum for these features???

lov2bugu, you said things the exact way I wanted to express them! It was like watching me talking to a SONY’s CEO.
I don’t really think they are not aware of the problems. SONY used to be the 27th largest company in the world, according to Forbes. They are now at the 456th place!!
They are aware of their problems and I think, the move to buy the remaining stocks from Ericsson, is a move to bounce back into the market. They found the right time, where the stock is too low and the economics around the globe don’t look promising enough. I have to recognize them, all the bad phases they went into this year … hacking attack, loss of their factory in London, global economic climate etc.
But these are not excuses good enough not to produce quality, reliable and technologically advanced goods. I think that SONY is not to blame for the bad course SE has had. I think this is what SONY wants to revert. They want to “embody” all their technology … BRAVIA engines (TV Tech), Walkman and Cybershot tech (using Carl Zeiss lenses), VAIO (Comp tech) and finally PS3. Ericsson tried to integrate them, unsuccessfully.
Overall, I thing SONY, did not have or did not attempt to have the control of SE, hence, the answer you got back from SONY “… anything related to SE must be posted on the website of SE”. I think they will bounce. Just give ‘em some time. I’m willing to give them time, but not too much though. Just because I’ve always loved this brand!

More than 10 authentication questions?

Hi,
Is there a way to set more than 10 authentication questions on an account policy? E.g. via the API?
We're using Identity Manager 8.1.
Thanks,
Lachlan.

Ok, good to know it can be done. I tried this, but it didn't seem to work unless the "id" attribute for each question had a valid value. Did you fill in the ids for the questions yourself? If so, how did you determine what they should be?

2 questions on Adobe X (and 1 more on the forums)

Hi can someone who's tinkered with Acrobat X please answer the following:
1. How easy is it to build a file from pages of existing files? At the moment you can either extract the various pages or dragging between 2 open windows. Neither is very convenient if you have lots of pages in different files.
2. Is there an easy way to create a pdf file, not a portfolio, from a group of emails?
(And on the forums, does Adobe maintain 2 forum sites, forums.adobe.com and acrobatusers.com? If so, what is the difference between the 2?)
Many thanks

Thank you. I am a lawyer and Acrobat is indispensable to me when compiling exhibits to witness statements or court bundles. But where I always struggle is when trying to get individual pages from disparate files and then compiling them into a single document.
I am aware of the ability to drag and drop but it is inconvenient as you must arrange both files on screen so it only really works for the odd page. As to the Extract that is useful but it requires extracting, saving, inserting and, to avoid a build up of redundant files, deleting the extract. There is also a problem that if you are working with many pages in different places of a large document you must hold down the control button and click to select. One wrong click and you must start all over again. Surprisingly, copy/cut and paste of pages does not work between files. Your other suggestion of selecting pages in the preview screen of combine files window is also not too convenient as it is a very small screen and it can't be expanded.
My idea which I hope will be implemented one day is to create a holding tray or the ability to tag pages as you move along one or more files. When all the pages have been tagged the 'tray' is then converted into a single file.

Response to forum questions and latest updates

We have prepared the following FAQ to address some of the common concerns and questions on this forum; thank you for your feedback to date.
I have opened a seperate discussion thread http://forum.stage.creative.com/showthread.php?t=6283.
Driver & Application Questions
• Where do I download drivers and applications for my product  To download drivers and applications, please follow these steps: Click on SupportClick on DownloadsChoose the region you are in, and the countrySelect your product type, then your specific product/model and click next Choose your Operating System (such as Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit)Begin to download the various programs needed.
• Will future driver releases be certified for Windows Vista  Yes, all of our future releases will be Microsoft certified.
• Applications from the original Sound Blaster X-Fi CD do not work in Windows Vista. Will there be downloads available for all missing applications and when  Driver downloads and basic software such as the Audio Console are available for download from our web site. A free CD containing the full application suite will soon to be available to order from our Online Store (a Shipping & Handling charge will apply).
• Why does the packaging say Windows Vista Ready when there is no Vista-compatible install CD in the packaging  This is to indicate that drivers are available online to support Windows Vista.
• Is there a difference in the Windows Vista and Windows XP implementation of the X-Fi CMSS3D feature  Yes. The architecture of Vista doesn t allow a feature like CMSS-3D to operate in hardware for applications that use the Microsoft API s. If a game for example uses OpenAL, then CMSS-3D will run in hardware but if a Microsoft API is used it operates on the host within Windows Vista s application level effects architecture.
• Is there a difference in the Windows Vista and Windows XP implementation of the Crystalizer feature  No.
• Why is it taking so long for Creative to provide full driver and application support for its products in Windows Vista, given the 6 year development time of the OS  Even though Windows Vista has been in development for several years and in public beta for a long time, the key reason for delays in providing finalised signed drivers for Windows Vista which affected several manufacturers is that the audio features in Windows Vista were incomplete until a few months before its final release. Other features in Windows Vista such as APO s (Audio Processing Objects) could not be installed for our products until do***entation and tools were available from Microsoft. This was an issue for all aftermarket sound card vendors. Since we received the correct tools and do***entation for implementation, we began working diligently to finish the development and release the driver updates for our range. Given the considerable number of products, it is not feasible to release everything at once, so we staggered the driver release schedule.
• There is a lengthy gap between driver releases. Would it be possible to have more frequent beta-version releases  We focus on delivering stable driver sets as this is more efficient than multiple interim releases. We anticipate releasing a further X-Fi update in the end-May/June timeframe. Feature Loss
• Why is SPDIF passthrough not working with Windows Vista 64-bit's Will it ever  SPDIF passthrough is available in the latest X-Fi update. For the Audigy Series, we cannot support this feature in Windows Vista 64-bit.
• Will decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS signals be supported in the future If not, why not  These functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista and going forward will be supported at application level by applications such as Power DVD or WinDVD.
• Will DVD-Audio be supported in the future  We are not supporting DVD-Audio in Windows Vista.
• Will 6.1 speaker mode be available in future drivers If not, is this because of Creative or Microsoft  No, as Windows Vista does not support this speaker configuration.
Bugs/Specific Issues
• Why is the CPU utilization on some Windows Vista systems significantly higher when using X-Fi CMSS-3D than on Windows XP  This is a 3rd party product issue on which Creative cannot comment. We have made CPU utilization improvements in the forthcoming X-Fi update.
• Why do I get BSOD and system instability when an X-Fi card is installed in my Windows Vista system with 4GB or more of RAM  This issue will be addressed in the next X-Fi driver update. It is also recommend to check with your motherboard manufacturer for the latest version of the motherboard BIOS.
• Enabling the Crystalizer during ASIO Playback with an Elite Pro causes reproduceable BSODs (CTEXFIFX.DLL) why  We have reproduced this issue and are working on a solution.

Oh and where are my manners!

Yet more vanishing iTunes install questions

Greetings all,
I realize that numerous people are having this problem, and numerous solutions exist, but I'm seriously at a loss trying to figure this out right now.
Basically, the situation is this: I'm trying to help someone install iTunes on their school-issued PC laptop, and it seems to be suffering from the widespread vanishing installation problem (that is, the iTunes install runs right up to the point prior to the QuickTime install, then disappears and takes everything it did with it, desktop icon and all.)
I'm aware that the root cause of this problem seems to have to do with the setting of administrative rights under WinXP (Home in this case, by the way.)
Thus far, I've done the following relevant things listed in other threads in attempt to fix it:
1. Ran Windows Update and made sure that all critical updates were installed.
2. Checked the User Rights Assignments in the Local Security Policy section of the control panel as suggested in numerous posts. SERVICE and Administrator were NOT to be found there. Can these be added manually? If so, what is the proper way to do it?
3. Went through HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Setup\Recovery Console and set the Security Level value to 1. This didn't seem to have any beneficial effect (this was switched back to 0 after failing to work.. I assume that's the wise thing to do?)
4. Tried using the "Run as..." option on the iTunes installer both before and after having done all of these things. This presented a problem in and of itself, which I'll describe shortly.
5. I have not tried installing QuickTime separately, but my understanding is that they had already attempted that previously.
6. I've run SpyBot in an attempt to clear out Spyware, as well as F-Prot for viruses. Obviously, though, neither of those things appear to be the cause of this problem. Additionally, I've made sure virus scanning was turned off during attempts to install iTunes.
So, I'm not really sure where to go from here. Now, as noted above, this is a university-purchased laptop (Dell, but I am not sure of the exact model off hand; though I can find out if need be.) This leads to most vexing question I have:
Is it theoretically possible that this computer, being set up and administered by the school itself, would only allow administrative service to the school's Computer Network Services department which handles them? Going back to point 4 above, I noted that there were several different logins available on the "Run as..." menu, only one of which seems to be accessible to the students themselves (their personal login.) As noted however, there are other logins present on the "Run as..." menu, including one marked with the student's name + "administrator." Logically, I would expect that the students would have access to this since it bears their names, but we don't seem to have any password that works. Is it possible there's a default password in this case?
My inclination at the moment is to take it to the CNS desk and enquire about it, since all of the other logins have passwords unknown to us. Whether or not they would be able to help, I'm not sure. But I'm at a loss for other ideas at present, aside from playing with variations of the other steps I've taken.
That being the case, if anyone could offer any advice (assuming you understand this mess I've posted here :P,) either in regard to the aforementioned or anything else I haven't tried, it would be greatly appreciated.
She's tried calling apple support already, and after spending several hours on the phone, they told her they didn't understand what was wrong and that she should have the HD re-imaged. That seems a last-resort sort of thing to me, however, and I'm finding it difficult to believe that there is no more reasonable solution to this problem.
So once again, if anyone can offer any helpful advice, I thank you very much in advance!

Oh yes, we actually just tried the "delayed install" with 4.9 a little while ago and I'm quite happy to say it did the trick (with a bit of trial and error and a fair amount of quirkiness, at any rate.)
i keep getting these startling mental images of people hunched over their PCs, mice poised and ready to strike at the offending processes ... still, beats uninstalling and reinstalling SP2 ...
there's some nice work going on in the forum community on the =0/lady-vanishes problems at the moment. may be worth periodically checking in on progress. we may not get a one-size-fits-all-solution, but we may well make some more progress on some of the epicycles relevant to your situation.

More specific to two questions

Hi,
First of all, many thanks to Rottier, Daniel, Geoff. Your ideas are
definitely useful.
Regarding two questions I posted yesterday, I’d like to give you more
background information so that it will make questions more specific.
Now we have a lot of applications (programs) written in either C, C++,
Java codes or Forte (maybe other language like VB). Our purpose is to
integrate all the codes written for the different platforms such as
Windows NT and UNIX together seamlessly through CORBA or CORBA-IIOP
(Internet Inter-Object Request Broker Protocol). The most difficulties
I have met so far are to pass an object by its value. As you know,
CORBA specifications, version 2, don’t support the concept “pass object
by value”. But currently, some of CORBA vendors such as Forte and Iona
(OrbixWeb) do extend the concept “pass by reference” and support the
concept “pass object by value” for Java Mode not for IDL (Interface
Definition Language) Mode. If we want to integrate all codes together
without the support of “pass object by value”, the following question I
need to answer is the garbage collection in the Forte server side. In
CORBA IDL mode, I have to set all IsAnchored attributes of all objects
to TRUE. Can these objects be garbage collected? If yes, how does the
garbage collection work?
Please note that the client (C, C++, Java or other language) and the
server (Forte) are written using different languages (not limited to
Forte)! The question I posted can be much complicated if the client and
server are written in the different languages and for the different
platforms (NT and UNIX) as well as applied to the distributed and
multithreaded environment.
To be exact, if one of the multiple remote C++ clients decides not to
access the objects (not limited to service objects) in the Forte server,
how does Forte garbage collection know what the client has done
automatically and garbage collect the object? It is known that CORBA
does not support garbage collection. Is there any functionality
provided by Forte to let itself be automatically notified? As we know,
COM and DCOM do have such kind of functionality. When you integrate
DCOM with your applications, at both sides (client and server), it is
DCOM who internally poll the object references periodically. How about
CORBA and Forte? Forte has integrated IIOP as its own built-in
component and supported VisiBroker and IONA CORBA products. My guess is
because Forte has IIOP built in itself (both sides have to run ORB), so
Forte has the full control over the whole running environment, and can
monitor the references to the objects, and apply the garbage collection
to the objects automatically. Is this true? Here are the key words:
multiple, remote (distributed), different platforms and languages,
CORBA-IIOP. We should take all of these things into our consideration.
I did find that there is a big difference between IsAnchored set to TRUE
and FALSE when I tried to integrate C++ client, Forte server and Java
client, Forte server. For the C++ client, you have to set IsAnchored
attributes of all kinds of objects to TRUE. Note that In Forte, the
service objects and the ordinary objects are treated differently. The
service objects are created by Compiler or Interpreter. It is
transparent to the users. The ordinary objects are created at run time,
garbage collection can be applied to. For Java client, you can either
set IsAnchored attribute to TRUE or FALSE depending on what you want
(access the services provided by Forte server side by value or
reference). This really answers the question: IsAnchored can control
pass object by value or reference, and really matches what you guys
talked about in your e-mail. My thoughts are that IsAnchored has
nothing to do with the garbage collection, otherwise this will disable
the garbage collection at all! Because I have to set all IsAnchored
attributes to TRUE at Forte server side for my C++ client, if the
garbage collection is really based on the IsAnchored attribute, this
means that the garbage collection is totally disabled for all those
objects with their IsAnchored attributes set to TRUE! Can anyone
confirm that? Don’t forget that this issue is raised in such
complicated environment! What I want to clarify is whether Forte does
provide such a garbage collection mechanism so nice, so smart to
automatically maintain a persistent object reference table or whatever
and deal with the garbage collection issue in such complicated
environment!
Believe this can make my questions much specific and clear. I’d like to
discuss more details about it.
Thank you again for your informative ideas.

Hi,
First of all, many thanks to Rottier, Daniel, Geoff. Your ideas are
definitely useful.
Regarding two questions I posted yesterday, I’d like to give you more
background information so that it will make questions more specific.
Now we have a lot of applications (programs) written in either C, C++,
Java codes or Forte (maybe other language like VB). Our purpose is to
integrate all the codes written for the different platforms such as
Windows NT and UNIX together seamlessly through CORBA or CORBA-IIOP
(Internet Inter-Object Request Broker Protocol). The most difficulties
I have met so far are to pass an object by its value. As you know,
CORBA specifications, version 2, don’t support the concept “pass object
by value”. But currently, some of CORBA vendors such as Forte and Iona
(OrbixWeb) do extend the concept “pass by reference” and support the
concept “pass object by value” for Java Mode not for IDL (Interface
Definition Language) Mode. If we want to integrate all codes together
without the support of “pass object by value”, the following question I
need to answer is the garbage collection in the Forte server side. In
CORBA IDL mode, I have to set all IsAnchored attributes of all objects
to TRUE. Can these objects be garbage collected? If yes, how does the
garbage collection work?
