Permutations (difficult one)

Hi,
We're tyring to find the best way to solve the following, hope you can help please.
We have a fairly large table of users (2500+) and the users belong to 1 or more groups (at the moment the max number of groups a user is in is 32 but it changes daily).
A sample data set looks like:
Usr | Grp
==============
SmithA | GrpA
SmithA | GrpB
MouseM | GrpD
MouseM | GrpB
MouseM | GrpC
The result set we need would be:
SmithA | GrpA
SmithA | GrpB
SmithA | GrpA,GrpB
MouseM | GrpB
MouseM | GrpC
MouseM | GrpD
MouseM | GrpB,GrpC
MouseM | GrpB,GrpD
MouseM | GrpC,GrpD
MouseM | GrpB,GrpC,GrpD
Note the alphabetical order of the grps - it's not particularly imporant but if they aren't sorted alphabetical then we'd need all combinations.
Any ideas please?

Note the alphabetical order of the grps - it's not particularly imporant but if they aren't sorted alphabetical then we'd need all combinations.
Any ideas please?
Please elaborate this statement.
Apart from that can you tell why is it that you need this ResultSet. It makes no sense at all. I am assuming that either you are mapping this with AD, LDAP or Kerberos. If you are using Kerberos, the TMS already have these
combinations(not permutations); (in your case -> 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3=7). If you are mapping with AD or LDAP then I am not quite sure where is that stored but in case of LDAP, I believe that the search operation will take care
of all the LDAP DN.
But I am still not clear, why do you need this. What will you achieve with this that a role is assigned to a user in some group.(that too all the combinations of the group.
It means if the results aren't alphabetically ordered then, for MouseM, we'd need to additionally see.
MouseM | GrpC,GrpB
MouseM | GrpD,GrpC....etc etc
The result set is so that I can join the result set of this query to it and retrieve the user's roles
SELECT DISTINCT RoleName
, STUFF((SELECT ', '+GroupName
FROM @Role S2
WHERE S1.RoleName = S2.RoleName ORDER BY GroupName
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') AS AllGrps
FROM @Role S1
No further data from the LDAP is readily available and the users are added to groups individually using a printed out cheat sheet matrix of which groups correspond to a role!
I need to know the Roles for an attestation/recertification exercise since the roles have owners/custodians who have to say whether the user needs the role (and therefore groups).
My first post with more info is
here.
Thanks

Bit of a difficult one

Okay so here is the persistent problem,
I have an iPhone 4 and ever since updating to iOS 7 i have had endless problems.
The biggest one being that every app that i have ever bought/downloaded, keep downloading all at once and it happens when i try to download a previously purchased app.
in full detail.
i open the app store go to purchased, scroll through untill i find the app i want to download again (This time GTA 3)
a message pops up saying that i have previously purchased this app so wont have to pay again and i have to click ok.
after clicking okay it shows my app is downloading i go to the home screen and after about 30-40 seconds it dissapears
i try again and the same happens including the message. but after it dissapears this time i will get the grey box that appears before the app logo/icon appears. then 1 by 1 or even 3 in one go. it wont stop even if i dissconect from wi/fi and mobile data.
the only way i can stop it is by plugging it in and restoreing the iphoine
if anyone can help please!!!

If you have endless problems with the update, you can restore it via iTunes but backup before you do so. Problems might be caused from OTA update.
Set Settings>General>International>Language>English
Settings>iTunes & AppStore>Sign out and sign back in.
You can also tried a hard reset by holding power and home button till it restarts and release power when u see apple logo.
You can also Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings.

This is a difficult one

Hello All,
Consider this scenario.
How can I work out the fact that full time employees are entitled to 28 days hoilidays in a year, and how can we stop counting for the previous year and start a new count if that employees first 365 days in employment has elapsed.
Now, I have the procedure below to insert holiday_taken per month for entitled employees
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P_HOLIDAY_TAKEN
(P_WHAT_MONTH IN HOLIDAY_TAKEN.WHAT_MONTH%TYPE,
P_DAYS_TAKEN IN HOLIDAY_TAKEN.DAYS_TAKEN%TYPE,
P_EMPID IN HOLIDAY_TAKEN.EMPID%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO HOLIDAY_TAKEN VALUES(P_WHAT_MONTH, P_DAYS_TAKEN,P_EMPID);
END;
EXEC P_HOLIDAY_TAKEN('APR-06',7,61);
What do I need to do :
To stop records being inserted when the 28 days entitlement has been reach in the first 365 years of employment and secondly, for another 28 days to start counting afresh in the 2nd and subsequent years of employment.
to help, I have a query below that counts holidays taken for each employee within their first 365 days of employment, but would not be effective when employee go on to their second and subsequent years of employment.
SQL> SELECT holiday_taken.empid, sum(DAYS_TAKEN) FROM HOLIDAY_TAKEN, employee WHERE months_between
(sysdate,hire_date)<=12 group by holiday_taken.empid;
EMPID SUM(DAYS_TAKEN)
3 3
61 28
many thanks any contribution would help

Hi
here are some records to test and they have been tested to be able to create tables and insert records
Employee has already used up his 28 days holiday entitlement, and should not be able to have another day until he has used up his first year oif he is in his first year. His next 28 days does not become available again to him until his next 365 days commences, so we should be calculating from hire_date.
create table emptest(
empid number(2) not null primary key,
name varchar2(20),
hire_date date,
emp_type varchar2(8),
constraint ck_emp_type check (emp_type in ('FT','PT','HOURLY')));
insert into emptest values(1,'JAMES','23-JUN-05','FT');
insert into emptest values(2,'JOHN','27-APR-05','HOURLY');
insert into emptest values(3,'BRYAN','18-MAR-04','FT');
insert into emptest values(4,'MIKE','15-JUN-02','PT');
create table monthly_hols_taken(
what_month varchar2(8),
days_taken number(3),
empid number(2),
constraint fk_mht_empid foreign key(empid) references emptest(empid));
INSERT INTO MONTHLY_HOLS_TAKEN VALUES (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MON-YY'),28, 1);
INSERT INTO MONTHLY_HOLS_TAKEN VALUES (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MON-YY'),15,2);
/*a trigger should flag up here to stop insertion of holidays for hourly staff (empid 2)as they are not entitled to it.*/
INSERT INTO MONTHLY_HOLS_TAKEN VALUES (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MON-YY'),5, 3);
INSERT INTO MONTHLY_HOLS_TAKEN VALUES (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MON-YY'),10, 1);
Thanks for your anticipated help

HT4113 My daughter changed her pass code to the more difficult one involving letters and #'s. she forgot what it was and tried several times and now her IPad says IPad is disabled connect to ITunes. What can we do to get into the IPad?

Is there anything we can do to get into an IPad that has been disabled due to excessive/unsuccessful attempts of entering the pass code on an IPad?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How to prevent multiple purchases under one account

how do you make sure kids dont purchase songs already under my library? We have three people buying songs from different devices under one credit card. Thanks, Julie

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Previously purchased items should display a purchased notification instead of the price at the point of purchase. I think the problem might occur when there are similar items, some people like to have various versions of the same thing, it probably isn't appropriate to mark these as purchased.
I guess it's a difficult one, but perhaps the only way is to get them to check before they buy.

Hierarchical difficult query.

Hi guys,
I am trying to solve this issue in one select and still I did not manage to find the sollution.
I have a table with the following configuration:
DROP TABLE USERS_TAB;
create table users_tab (user_id number PRIMARY KEY, group_id number, USERTYPE VARCHAR2 (2));
--THESE USERS ARE IN THE SAME GROUP id:80 and have different types
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (1,80,'V');
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (2,80,'V');
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (3,80,'E');
--These are in another group (40) and have different types
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (4,40,'E');
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (5,40,'V');
INSERT INTO users_tab VALUES (6,40,'E');
insert into users_tab values (7,null, 'V');
commit;
create table links (v_type_users number, e_type_users number);In links table we define the links between users. A link appears only one time in this table (the links are one to one). the v type users appear in v_type_user column and e type users appear in e_type_user
**I have a procedure that has for input parameter one user_id. I need to selectal users that have the same group_id with the input and that are lnked togheter. if a contract belongs to a group, all memenbers of the group need to be included and the links between groups are made in links table (you will understand from example). **
For example:
1.
truncate table links;
insert into links values (1,4);user 1 of v type is linked with user 4 of e type.
if my select has for input user the id 1,
it will need to return all the users that are in the group of user 1. and for these users all the links with their
groups and so on.
1 is in group 80...so I will need to return 1,2,3 users. but 1 is linked with 4 that is in group 40 so I will also return 4,5,6 because they are in the same group
so in this link I will need to return 1,2,3,4,5,6. they are representing a bigger group
2.
truncate table links;
insert into links values (1,4);
insert into links values (5,7);--we created a link between 5(type v and 7 type e)if we input user 1, we will need to show all memember from group 80, and because of the link (1,4) we will need to show
4 and because 4 is in the group with 5 and 6 we will need to show them also and because 5 is in link with 7 we will need to show 7 also
the group will be: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
**you can see that the bigger group will be the same no matter what the input is. if the input is for example 7 or 5 or (4,3,2,1) we will output*
*1,2,3,4,5,6,7. because 7 is in link with 5 and 5 is in a group and in that group there is another link to another group**
3.
We can have multimple links between groups (I can see here a problem with hierarchical or maybe nocycle and distinct helps?)
truncate table links;
insert into links values (1,4);
insert into links values (5,7);--we created a link between 5(type v) and 7 type e
insert into links values (2,6);--we created a link between 2(type v) and 6 type ethis will not change the output, although we have multimple links.
we will need to output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
4.
truncate table links;
insert into links values (3,7);-- we have one link between 3(type v) and 7 (type e)if we have the input user 3. we will need to show all memenber from the group of user 3 and because of the link we will show the user 7.
we will have
1
2
3
7
5.
truncate table links;
if we have no link...we will need to show all the users from a group(if the input is a user from a group) and only that user if the input has no group.
I think this is a difficult one, any help is appreaciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Interesting problem!
The CONNECT BY should really be done by groups; it doesn't matter that userid 1 is linked to userid 4; all that matters is that group 80 is linked to group 40.
But if the CONNECT BY is done accrding to groups, what about user_id=7, who is not in a group? For purposes of this query, all rows in users_tab that have NULL group_id will be assigned a unique group_id.
Sub-query erverybody_in_group below makes up a group_id for rows that do not already have one. It assumes that userid > 0.
The CONNECT BY will go a lot easier if, for every row like (1, 4) that is in links, we also have the mirror-image (4, 1). The first two branches of the UNION in sub-query group_link do that.
The last branch of the UNION makes sure all groups are represented in group_link, even if they are not linked to anything. That ensures that all members of the source group get included in hte results, even if they are not connected to any other group. (This incluudes the special case where there are no rows at all in linkls.)

     SELECT     user_id
     ,     COALESCE ( group_id

                    CONNECT BY NOCYCLE      from_group_id = PRIOR to_group_id
ORDER BY user_id
;In the example above, the starting user_id (1) is hard-coded, about 6 lines from the end. This is the only place where that parameter is used.
The column usertype plays no role in this problem; is that right?
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements! That really helps.

What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone. Theyre darn good printer too. I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities. One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.

AP cleared Item Report

Hi,
I am use SAP query to build a AP cleared Item report. The report is similar as we can get from FBL1n, but I need a column as group key, which can not be found in FBL1n report.
My questions is:
1. When using SAP query, I use table LFA1 and BSAK, everything is ok, except I could only get the uncleared Item in the table. Like for one item have both Credit and Debit, I could find them in my report. What shall I do?
The field used in the report:
Company Code: BSAK-BUKRS
Vendor Code: BSAK-LIFNR
Vendor Name: LFA1-NAME1
Payment Type(Group Key):
Posting Date: BSAK-BUDAT
Clearing Date: BSAK-AUGDT
Document Type: BSAK-BLART
Fiscal Period: BSAK-MONAT
Fiscal Year: BSAK-GJAHR
2. Or if I just need to have a report like FBL1n, but have group key on the report, any other report I could use?

Hi
Sorry for my unclear question...
What I need is: We need a report on Vendor cleared items, which have a column is Payment Type, to refer to what kind of payment to the vendor, like it's a Adv. fee. Our solution is to use GROUP KEY field in the vendor master data to maintain the payment type information, as it's vendor specified. So for common understanding, we could use FBL1n report, use GROUP KEY as a selection and run out the report. Unfortuntely, we could select by GROUP KEY, but we can not have it shown on the report, from the layout.
So we decided to use SAP Query, which is not a very difficult one. But I found from Query, and the table/ field I refered in my previous message, I could only see some of the records. If one item is cleared in BSAK, I could not find them in my query report made by me. So hope this time my question is cleared, thanks very much.
Or, if our need is to find a proper field to maintain a information in master data, and also can be shown in the FBL1n report, may u suggest?

Problem with database instance installation

Hi@all,
I'm dealing with the installation of the sap solution manager 3.2 SR1.
The platform is a win 2000 server, I use Oracle as the database.
Oracle was installed successfully and the installation of the central instance terminated without errors.
Now I try to install the next step, the database instance.
I always choosed the standard parameters, except for I choosed no domain installation and unchecked using SLD.
Nevertheless, the installation procedure stops at step 16 with the following error log entry (partially translated from german to english):
System call failed. Error 1332 (Allocations of account names and safety identifications were not accomplished.
) in execution of system call 'LookupAccountName' with parameter (NULL, Administrators, ...), line (305) in file (synxcaccmg.cpp).
I've attached the full logfille here.
Looks like sapinst cannot get the system user parameters?
How could I solve this? Any idea?

This was the clue
I read through the whole planning and preparation tutorial and through the preinstallation and installation tutorial.
There's no recommondation to have the english os version installed.
But better such an easy problem instead of a difficult one
Thanks a lot!

Can these things be customized? [Very long]

Good day all!
First I would like to say thank you for everyone who consistently roams these forums to help new users! I have learned a lot by visiting discussions every other day at least for a long time!
I have been using Macs for a year now and still find navigation to be frustrating and counter-productive on several occasions.
Next I would like to say that if my questions annoy you or you think that I should search through all previous discussions for an answer to my problems, please don't respond. I would like to invite you to go help the next user with their problems. I've been computing for at least 15 years, so I know what to expect! And in my experience, that kind of post is akin to trolling. I know that there may be a multitude of responses about some of the things I would like help with. But the whole purpose for starting this discussion is to get help for me exactly where I am with several features, not to be sent on an easter egg hunt through the rest of the forum to piece everything together. I'm really very busy! And I will continue studying on my own every other day, as I have been for a long time.
On the flip side, I am not trying to be rude at all! I am sincerely asking for help and constructive suggestions/advice from a power user's perspective about how to adjust some things with my interface if possible! And I will be very very thankful if you can help!
I use Macs for business purpose and pleasure, so this is a professional concern and a personal quest!
So if you're still reading at this point, thank you for your patience!!! Your tenacity is admirable.
Ok, so I have a list of features that I will admit come from having used Windows-based PCs for a very very long time, but they are much more efficient then what I have been able to do on OS X.
[My tech profile]
Intermediate User (Mac), Power User (Windows) [I know, I know... Spare me. x.x]
System: Macbook Pro, Order number MGXC2LL/A (Currently, the big one... Mid-2014)
Using OSX v10.9.5. I understand that Yosemite is available but I am concerned about updating because I am also using bootcamp with Windows 7 installed for personal, professional and educational use. I definitely make my machines work for me. (Starting another discussion about THAT concern though.)
So finally, my questions.
I have run into several interface annoyances and I would like to know about the following things. If anyone has any advice at all about how to customize these features, thank you in advance! (Note: I don't mind links to other posts at all! Please do so if you know a great discussion for exactly what I am experiencing.. If not, please just give whatever advice you can.)
Trackpad sensitivity: I've gone to System Preferences > Trackpad for adjustments but its just not helping as I had hoped.
Experiencing false touch due to heat sensitivity. Several times a day I will be programming or surfing and my cursor will jump to where the mouse indicator is on the screen if I get within an inch or two of the trackpad. If I am not watching then sometimes I will end up punching characters into a random line far away from where they're supposed to be. Then I have to go through the long process of deleting, moving, adjusting unexpected typos, making sure the code is still rendering and then typing everything all over again on the correct line. Anyway to adjust the calibration?
I'm used to pinpoint accuracy when navigating with my high dpi pc mouse, so this may be a difficult one to explain... I touch the trackpad and move my finger and it works, but it feels like sensitivity maxed out is variable depending on the speed that I move my finger. So if I quickly move a centimeter it launches halfway across the screen. If I slowly move it, it barely moves. The variation is incredibly annoying at times because I'm used to navigating rapidly. It I turn the sensitivity down then movement is terrible, if I turn it up, it seems to move more rapidly only when I move my finger quickly, which is also frustrating because I can't accurately go to the exact point I want to without moving slow regardless of sensitivity. Maybe this is also due to OSX's calibration method/"philosophy"? I have also used the wire mouse on my Mac (Desktop) and it seems to work the same way even though its a completely different input method. Any suggestions? Maybe I should just install a Razer on my laptop and let those drivers determine how it operates? (Thats what I use on my PC.)
Is there anyway to toggle the trackpad on and off? I have not checked into this yet beyond System Preferences > Trackpad, but it would be very helpful when programming or writing.
Interface issues: There are several organization/navigational features that I use heavily in Windows. The lack thereof makes it difficult to enjoy the OSX interface at times... Sure you can say "Oh, you'll get used to it," but the fact of the matter is getting used to a different interface should at least enable me to be as productive as I would be on a Windows computer. I don't think getting used to these particulars would accomplish that.
Please advise me about how to customize a faster way to access media files! (I suppose I could create shortcuts in different directories, but... Ugh!) Is there an easier method or some way to rearrange the way that directories are organized in general so that I don't have to click desktop > click go > click home just to find my media files? Is there a way to make them accessible from the Finder Sidebar when navigating other directories? I need full access to commonly used directories if possible! Not just a certain level of my computer system without clicking "Go."
Is there an easy way to launch a directory in a second Finder window? Absolutely hate when I click a directory and it opens in the same window. Especially considering that you have to actually drag items to a different directory to move them without shortcut keys. Extra steps are not cool. (Like dragging a folder to your desktop so you can open a new directory to drag it to in the same Finder window. Very redundant and counter-productive.)
Anyway to manually add a cut/paste-like function to the right-click menu? Would solve a lot of my organization challenges. (Not afraid of tweaking system files or downloading scripts/programs to accomplish this.)
These are the things that have contributed to productivity challenges the most for me. Not really a lot, but still frustrating.
Thank you for reading and any advice you may have! Even if its only about one or two things. Anything helps.

Yes. With any sidebar open, have the parent folder of the folder you want on the sidebar open. Now just drag and drop the folder you want on the sidebar under the Favorites heading, and above Devices. Make sure one of the other favorites already listed isn't highlighted as you let go of the mouse, or the OS will presume you want to copy the folder there. A new shortcut with that folder name should be added to the list. To remove any favorite, drag it off the sidebar over the desktop, wait a moment and let go.

That one is a huge bone of contention. Apple changed that behavior beginning with Mavericks so you can't do that if the sidebar or toolbar is showing. At least not the way it used to work before 10.9.x. To force a nested folder to open in its own window, hold down the Option key as you double click the folder. Hiding the toolbar and sidebar so all you see are the files eliminates the need to hold the Option key. Yes, there's no consistency of interface behavior on that one.
Hi Kurt! Thank you very much for those suggestions. I've actually been playing with the sidebar customizations and can attest that navigation has been a lot easier! This suggestion from Diane and from you has been incredibly helpful. As per the second Finder window, I guess I can only keep searching for a solution. I'm sure there is a way to regain the ability to access more than one Finder window at once. I can see the benefit of limiting it to only one window but I also know from experience that having it is counter-productive in most scenarios. I will have to try opening files and folders in their own windows with the option button to see if it will get me back to the productivity levels I'm used to.
Thank you again Diane! I need to do some research on each utility to see which one might be worth the investment in the long run!
I actually wanted to post a resolution of my own. Particularly the sensitivity/acceleration issue and the cut/paste issue. I was able to solve them both by adding a peripheral to my arsenal. The Razer Orochi wireless mouse. There are a couple of reasons why this has been an incredibly helpful move. The first is I have been using Razer peripherals for years. I love the control that Synapse software allows (That is, the utility that comes with Razer mice). I am able to adjust acceleration (Essentially how much farther the mouse moves with aggressive finger movements compared to normal movements) and I am able to adjust overall sensitivity beyond anything the trackpad is capable of because dpi and more thorough software. Don't get me wrong! I'm not trying to advertise here, it's been like night and day since I installed it.
I also mentioned cut and paste. The Orochi has a mouse wheel with a built-in button, 4 side buttons and the common left/right click buttons for a total of 7 possible mouse-click functions. So how I was able to correct the cut/paste issue was by binding Command-Option-V to one oft the side buttons. So essentially I can now Right Click, choose "Copy" and simply click the side button to move the folder/file/etc to the new directory. Productivity already increasing to levels I once had!

Granted this is not a control-level resolution, (Which would be highly preferable), but it has made a big difference so far. I definitely wouldn't consider this to be an interface preference but rather a productivity preference. However you look at it, I'm happier and can navigate/operate more effectively than I have been able to in a long time.
I think for all intents and purposes I can mark this thread as solved even though there are a couple of things that fall into this category by default simply because Macs are not capable of doing certain things as far as I can tell...
Unable to be resolved (By 98% of users) due to fundamental(?) design limitations:
Allow for heat sensitivity adjustments on the trackpad
Clickable cut/paste functionality built into OSX
Second (or multiple) Finder Window(s)
I think at this point I need to start researching deeper fixes for these problems and maybe post something later about it.
If anyone has more advice about them or any other features mentioned here, please post!

Please help! How do you MMS with the Red BB Curve 8330m (4.5.0.131 software/firmware) on Sprint ?

Greetings!!!
I'm a newbie to BlackBerry devices but a long time user of cell phones and I have just one question which I hope isn't a difficult one to answer. I don't know if I'm missing something here, but how do you send an picture or photo via MMS? All I see in my message options is SMS text.
I just got the new Red BB Curve 8330m with the 4.5.0.131 software/firmware from Sprint.
I did a search here but didn't find an answer.
TIA for any help here!

No problem, if it wasn't for questions there wouldn't be forum, Right?
So you checked the firewall, and you can receive, that means you have the application,
Have you ever done a battery pull or sent service books since receiving the device?
Thanks,

Disappearing Sharepoint Foundation 2013 anonymous list submissions

I have a custom Sharepoint Foundation 2013 list configured to allow anonymous submissions from a public facing website, but which requires admin permissions to view the full list content. Think like a contact form or an online application - anonymous users
can submit a new item via the form, but get "permission denied" when attempting to access the list itself. I've customized the New Item .aspx in Sharepoint Designer, and I've also added a redirect page after submission for a "confirmation"
page.
This seems to work perfectly in all of my tests - but I have several dozen users who have reported correctly filling out the form, pressing "Submit," and being taken to the confirmation page, but the list item is nowhere to be found when I log in
and look at the list. It appears that somehow Sharepoint is losing the new list item, while still redirecting users to the post-submission confirmation page.
If it was a single user, I'd chalk it up to user error (not pressing Submit or something), but I have enough identical reports to verify that this is definitely happening and data is definitely being lost. I have similar reports from users of all 3 major browsers,
both Mac and PC.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this behavior on demand - the form works fine for me no matter what I throw at it. There's nothing in the recycle bin, no validation errors (I've turned off all validation for the form), and I have tried every browser/OS combination
I can think of. In every single test I have done, the form submits flawlessly, and the new list item appears immediately - even for a blank form.
Any ideas? Where do I even start trying to troubleshoot this if it happens seemingly at random?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

Hello,
Without being able to reproduce the problem I can imagine this will be a difficult one to diagnose. I would start by getting some dates and times from users from when they did submit items that they are claiming did not appear in the list. I would then look
in the ULS logs around these times and see if you can see the item being submitted / created.
Regards.

Office 2013 deployment customisation

Hello,
just added O2013 to applications. Used OCT, placed msp to Updates. Run litetouch from test VM.
Installation run silently. 100% success.
Here are the points that I would like to adjust:
1. When first started Word. I got the Windows with update chooses.
The truth that I don't deploy Office updates by WSUS. But probably will do.
After OS deployment WSUS update is enabled. So no problems with OS.
Let's assume that my WSUS will deploy Office 2013 updates. So I can probably enable post Application updates.
Currently I do post OS updates.
Is there a step in OCP to skip the Updates screen on first Office start?
Can activation window be suppressed if product key is inserted in OCT? Kind of automatic activation try?
This is not difficult one click but would like to leave Office without any "welcome" screens.
Please specify the step in OCT where I can to customize that.
Also my Office 2013 contains SP1. So probably I can keep Office 2013 patches on WSUS starting January 2014 since SP1 dated
Feb 2014. Is it right assumption?
Thanks.

Please follow the instructions here. Open OCT. Navigate to Features-Modify User Settings.
Select Microsoft Office 2013-->Privacy--> Trust Center
Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run-> Set to ENABLED
Enable Customer Experience Improvement Program--> set to DISABLED
Automatically receive small updates to improve reliability--> DISABLED
Then under Microsoft Office 2013--> Miscellaneous
Suppress recommended settings dialog--> set to ENABLED
Activation depends on if your using KMS or MAK keys. What are you using so I can assist you further...

PS is opening an image of my desktop instead of a picture.

I installed Adobe Phtoshop CS5 but when I try to open a picture, it opens an upside down image of my desktop. I have no idea where it is getting it... I have a MacBook Pro and am running Parallels. Photoshop was installed on Windows 7.
When this didn't work, I installed this on another Windows Computer - running Windows 7 and had no problems.
I went back to the MacBrook Pro, unintalled the softward, restarted both Windows and Safari, installing all updates. I then re-installed Photoshop and had the same issue. I restarted both again, same issue. No idea what else to try. Very disspointed as I was hoping to use the software today on a few photo projects.

THANKS for your replies. Still can't find a solution though...
@marketline
I have tried a few things:
(1) I have tried opening a picture directly from the desktop (right click on image and Open With CS5)
(2) Since it was showing my desktop flipped upside down, I thought it had to do with opening a pic directly from the desktop so, I tried navigating to a picture in my pictures folder and using the Open With feature again. Hit the same issue.
(3) Then I tried opening both pictures using the Open command in Photoshop and navigating to the files. Same issue.
@mylenium
The issue is when I open a normal picture, it opens an image of my desktop (no idea where it's getting it from and the image changes slightly). It's not an issue with how my computer flips between the Max OS and the Windows OS. Thanks for sending you search but it didn't hit upon the issue I'm having. It's a difficult one to explain!
