Not able to post a new topic to Discussions Safari Safari for Mac

Hi, I'm new to Apple Discussions, but not new to posting to forums.
Currently I'm not able to post to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac. I can login, view all post threads, create and save a draft, preview the draft, but cannot post the draft to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac.
However I am able to post to a different category; Discussions>Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger>Using Mac OS X Tiger. See posting "This is a test. Please do not reply to this post".
When I try to post to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac I get pushed to another web link and system message as follows;
http://discussions.info.apple.com/backsoon/discussionstempaway.html
We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon.
Until then, please visit http://www.apple.com/support
Currently when I open the category Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac, I see an error message that reads;
Error
An error in the system has occured. Please contact the system administrator if the problem persists.
I have searched for a link to "contact the system administrator", but cannot find it.
I get around the Safari for Mac category error message by clicking on 'next' and it then displays the current threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a bonus issue I'd like to resolve asap, to get to my original issue with Safari 4.1 crashing.
Thanks to those who can help!

You're Welcome cuzindave!
That's odd. It was OK before but when I checked again it was down and now it's back.

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Why am i not able to post anywhere?

I have a general question about blocking access to programs, and the relevant discussion boards have no "Post new topic" button anywhere. I've searched every page and I even see posts from other users, yet I can't find a button anywhere that it is supposed to be.
I even tried going to the Tips board. I found a "new topic" button that I clicked on, and it tells me that I can't post there and asks me to login. When I try to, it says "error" and redirects me to some "helpful" links that don't help me at all.
Am I missing something?

Hi Oh Theatrical One!
You're probably on a Category page, and not a Forum page.
And submitting User Tips is only accessible to Level 2 members and above, so you are not able to post in that Forum.
If you have a question, or suggestion, about using Discussions, from this page Feedback about Discussions, click on Post New Topic.
If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the thirteen divisions.
For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Tiger.
Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
But some may have only one, two, or three.
For example the Safari Category page has three choices listed under Forum / Category, but only one is a Forum: Safari Support forum.
And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
Click here for all iPod Forums.
Click here for all iTunes Forums.

It can be confusing, but explore the different areas, and you will acquire a better understanding of the hierarchy.

Garageband was not able to install the new sounds

I'm on an iMac 21.5-inch (mid 2011) running Yosemite; 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; 4GB memory.
A few months ago, I uninstalled GarageBand. Now I'm trying to reinstall it. I can get GarageBand 6 reinstalled, but I would like to get working with the latest version. I'm able to download the latest version from the App Store with no issue. It installs with no issue.
When I open it, it thanks for me downloading it, and then begins to download "an essential collection of sounds and loops." After a bit of downloading, it asks for my admin password; I enter it, and a few seconds later, it gives the error: "GarageBand was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install them again." Closing and reopening GarageBand just takes me through the same loop (no pun intended). When the window is open, if I click on the GarageBand menu in the Apple bar, nothing happens.
It does not ask me to accept anything; I am signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID I have always used (it is the only one I have ever had, so that's not the issue). I am an admin on my Mac, so it's not a permissions issue. It's not a password issue either.
Things I have tried:
Rebooting into Safe Boot and opening from there; same issue.
Repaired permissions (it fixed oodles of things completely unrelated to GarageBand); same issue.
Creating a new admin profile and opening from there; it gives a different error, but the effect is the same.
Removed the program, trashed anything remotely related to GarageBand (preferences, folders, etc), emptied the trash, restarted the computer, reinstalled; same issue.
Installed GarageBand on top of itself, just in case; same issue.
I can't think of what else to try. Help!
For reference, here is a screenshot of what I'm getting stuck on:

The solution Lijoesat posted above worked for me!
First I found the private/var/folders/ (and then lots of gibberish folders) and singled out two garageband files and deleted them. This did not work.
I then deleted everything which may or may not be a good thing, I am an idiot, I have no idea if these are extremely important files or not!
I tried to empty the trash bin after but many files was locked and Garageband would still not install.
I did a restart of the computer, emptied the bin successfully and tried to install Garageband again and it worked fine!
The inserted picture show some of the folder structure, I deleted everything after private/var/folders/

Not able to post any question

I am trying to post a question related to PM module but i am not able to post it.
Can anyone help me in this regard.

but i am not able to post it.
this will raise so many questions
a) are you able to login ?
b) if so, are you able to see "Post New Thread" ?
If your answer is "YES" for both the above, then there should not be a problem in posting your question.
thanks
G. Lakshmipathi

When posting, please post a new topic if you don't have an answer!

Occasionally you may be tempted to add your voice to a chorus of complaints. Unfortunately, if what you are here for is to get assistance for a problem which you can't find an answer for, trailing an existing thread with a second complaint, is usually considered bad form. It has been given the nickname of "threadjacking." Instead, when you don't have an answer, and are seeking an answer, start a new topic by clicking on the Discussions header links of the board below the big bold text "Apple Discussions" to locate the board most appropriate for your question. Once you have found the board appropriate for your question, above the posts on the upper left should be a "Post a New Topic" link. Use that link to create your own topic. If that link is not there, you have probably already entered another thread, and if that is the case, use the link Batch to Topic List link to return to where you can Post a New Topic.
Here are the advantages to not threadjacking:
1. You will get a much wider audience of possible experts to help you out.
2. The original poster of the thread will not get advice that does not pertain to their situation, and you won't get advice that doesn't pertain to your situation. You wouldn't want either you or the other person to get the wrong advice and try something which could make them get more in a hole.
3. The experienced users with this situation won't get confused who they are offering advice to and give the wrong advice to the wrong person.
Thank you!

Kad: What is a forum, board, and category and how to post a new topic?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
In the Discussions Feedback board you'll see this quote:
If your question concerns a hardware or software technical issue, please do not post in this forum — instead, go to the Apple Discussions Homepage, select an appropriate product category and follow the links until you reach the correct forum for your post, then click the Post New Topic link.
It appears that many still miss this advice as they go ahead and ask in the Discussions feedback page how to post a new topic. This advice is as clear as can be, though some may not understand what the terms are in this quote. To clarify Apple Discussions is organized into the following elements:
Apple Discussions Homepage
- Categories of Topics
- - Individual _Topic Forums_
- - - Individual _Topic Threads_
When you enter a Category you will see _Topic Threads_ but no Post New Topic link. The reason for this is that all the threads in each forum are combined beneath the individual Forum links. If you wish to post a new topic in any specific Forum, you have to navigate to the Forum first to post a new topic in that Forum. Don't let the preponderance of views or responders make you think you need to post a "me too". In fact this makes it harder on the original poster to determine what is the cause of their problem. It is better to post your own topic, so you can get more focussed attention, and a wider audience who can help you. If you have a reply that might lead to a solution for the original poster, by all means reply. Otherwise you just contribute to the length of the thread, and don't really help in finding a solution.
An example of a Category: iMac
An example of a Forum: Using your iMac G5
Note also the header of the board says: "Category" or "Forum" to help guide you.
Be sure also to identify your Mac or operating system before posting in specific forums, as some Macs may look similar. If you need help, ask first.

Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions.

The option is available in other Apple discussions, but for some reason it's not an option for me in the Leopard area.
I just want to ask a simple question about why Firefox is now launching every time I restart my computer, but don't want to do so in a discussion about Final Cut or iLife or any of the other forums where posting a new topic is an option because that would be bad etiquette. At the same time, I'm not given much of an option.

Hi dddnlb!
"Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions."
The info posted below is also available in the Announcement How to Post a New Topic
If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Leopard.
Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
But some may have only one, two, or three.
For example, the Safari Category page, has three choices listed under Forum / Category:
Safari For Windows
Safari for Mac Support forum
Safari 4 (Beta).
And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
From a Category page, select an appropriate Forum to post in.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.

Edit: I have requested that a Host, relocate your Topic to a more appropriate Forum.
As it will be transferred, it is not necessary for you to repost elsewhere, at this time.

I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

Hi!
I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Carlos.

Hi,
Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
* I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
* Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
I'm getting mad...

Not able to post vendor payment in case of Cash discount received

Hello
We are on SAP ECC 6.0
I'm not able to post an outgoing payment through F-53 T code when cash discount is received from vendor due to early payment before due date.
I get the following error message -
Tax code V0 for country IN has been deleted or incorrectly changed
Message no. FS201
Our tax calculation procedure is TAXINN and we are an indian company in India.
GL account for cash discount received is already defined in OBXU t code for SKE transaction key tax code wise.
V0 tax code is defined through FTXP.
I'm able to display correct cash discount amount and cash discount % when i click on select process open item in F-53 after entering document date; posting date; company code; currency; Bank GL A/c; Amount (Net of discount); value date and Vendor Account.
What am i missing? Why am i not able to post vendor outgoing payment?
Is it possible to post cash discount received to the credit of Stock / Inventory Account as quantity received is not consumed or quantity is lying in inventory?
Thanks.
Vimal

Hello Chintan
I have assigned GL A/c in OBXU t code with and without reference to tax code.
Still, i am not able to post outgoing payment when cash discount is received as i am paying it before due date.
Cannot i take credit of cash discount received to Inventory / Stock Account?
Is cash discount received always posted to non-Inventory / non-stock GL Account?
Thanks.

I am not able to create a new tab, eventhough i have tried all ways to do it.

Normally the existing (current) tab has at the end an "+", and that gives you the option to make a new tab to the right. My Firefox tab does not have the "+", and I'm not able to create a new tab for another link. The new tab option is not working on my Mozilla internet browser.

Use Hotkey CTRL + T to Open a Blank Tab. Do the following too:
go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Not able to create a new action

I am using Photoshop CS5 Extended Version - Student and Teacher Edition. I am not able to create a new action. When I open up the actions menu, the new action option is greyed out.
Also, there is no "new action" icon at the bottom of my action screen like I've seen in tutorials showing how to create a new action (screen shot from a tutorial).
How can I get these buttons so I am able to create a new action. I've already uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it but have gotten the same screen menus for actions. I've also reset the photoshop essentials settings menu but that did not help either. What do I need to do next?
Thanks,
Xemena

.... will it work if you take it off button mode?

In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab

In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab. So the only solution is opening "New window" which is extremely messy. Kindly help me with this issue.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
