PLEASE report what you've already tried when posting problems/questions!

A lot of threads have a common theme:
(1) The first post describes a problem, or asks a question.
(2) The second (or third, or fourth) post suggests doing or trying something.
(3) The next response, from the original poster, says "Oh, I already tried that!"
Please, when describing a problem or asking a question, be reasonably detailed about the scenario, what you did, what results you got, WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED, etc.
Vague undetailed problems/questions, not describing the N steps you've already taken to try to resolve it, etc. just waste time and bandwidth all around!

Hi Doug;
If we are going to start of list of things NOT to do when posting a question, the one I always think is the absolute silliest is when they say I am having trouble with an application and never ever tell up what application they are talking about as if we have a crystal ball which is going to tell us what mythical application it is. Well it turns out generally my crystal ball is foggy just then so I have to ask what are you talking about here.

I have the same problem. After updating to 6.1.2 my iPad 3,2 will not find Verizon network. It just says "Searching..." for ever. Any thoughts?

My iPhone is split from front panel on top, and back cover of my is swollen too. I am not able to use my phone and I cannot access my data in the phone. Please suggest what could be the cause of this problem?

It sounds like the battery might have gone bad, and is swelling and causing the symptoms you describe. Do not attempt to use the phone, but take it to Apple for evaluation.

Trying to post a question and receiving: You are not allowed to create or update this content

I am a newbie and am trying to post a question to the support communities and received this reply:"You are not allowed to create or update this content"
My question:
Help! Not all my incoming mail messages are going to my home computer account. Some are derailed and end up in my inbox on my iphone only. My husband is waiting for a message to come through on the home computer and sometimes they end up on my iphone5 accounts. Yikes! He is not happy. Some messages come to my pc email and some only to my phone. But then, some come to both as they should. I need all mail to arrive at both home and on my iphone. I would so appreciate any help or advice given. Thank you! Iphone 5c IOS 7.1.2

I'm not sure, but you might try this (instructions are from my 5s running iOS 7.1.2):
On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Find the account you're having the problem with
Touch the arrow to the right of it, which will bring up a screen that has the account name, Mail and Notes
Touch the account name. This brings up a settings screen for only that account.
Go down to Advanced and touch that
See what it says under Deleted Messages. If Remove is set to something really short, your iPhone might be deleting the messages before they have a chance to download onto another device.

4th time I am trying to post this question!!! Why can't I watch season 5 episode 9 of Downton Abbey?? I have purchased a season pass and have watched all previous episodes. I can't watch on any of my devices. iMAC - iPad 3rd gen. - iPhone5

What happens when you try to watch it ?

The cursor backs up when posting a question so the words mispell

when posting a question in search box the cursor interrupts by going backwards or skipping spaces so the question is full of mispelled words

Hi edibel, is this a problem unique to this forum, or does it affect multiple sites?
Are you using any special input devices, such as voice command, non-standard trackballs with extra buttons, etc.?
In case it's a conflict with one of your add-ons, a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

When asking a question on the Photoshop Elements user-to-user forums, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:
What version of Photoshop Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Photoshop Elements 9 with the 9.0.3 update).
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?

Check your Mac can run ML...
Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

1.01 update = please share what you find is fixed / not =

the bullets apple posted as the update are likely just some of the fixes.
please share your personal experiences of what you have found is
- fixed
- new/improved
- just enhanced performance
and of course what is not fixed.
keep it simple please so others can benefit at a glance
thanks in advance!
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Improved:
Keyword searches are faster.
Query HUD keyword list comes up much faster.
Projects with keywords come up faster than 1.0.
Not fixed:
Entire library searches are still not fast enough if you have keywords in place.
Selecting the library line (in this case imported iPhoto library with 8000+ pics + some versions) takes too long (15-20 secs at least, apparently the keyword list is updated for the entire library and that takes too long).
Keyword list seems to be updated each time you "touch" query HUD and this can take the long time (15-20 secs) if you happen to have the scope of entire library. Within single project (for example 100-200 pics and anything less) this wait is not visible.
Good upgrade, using the tool and waiting for the next upgrade.

Should ROWNUM return what you'd naturally expect when used with an ORDER BY on a very large result set?

For security reasons, I have removed some of the column names and the table name from this query, but there was no WHERE clause, and this includes the complete ORDER BY clause.
select p.cc,
    p.yy,
    p.mm,
    p.dd,
    p.ref_no,
    p.seconds,
    p.deci_mal,
    cast(rownum as number(14)) as arpds_id
from p
order by p.cc,
    p.yy,
    p.mm,
    p.dd,
    p.ref_no,
    p.seconds,
    p.deci_mal
We were adding a Primary Key (ARPDS_ID) to the table containing legacy payments, which had thousands of rows where every single column was identical, and had over 15 million rows total.
I expected the ROWNUM to represent the row number *after* the rows were sorted by the ORDER BY clause. However, we identified at least one account where this was not the case.
Here are the relevant fields for that account, sorted by my ARPDS_ID. As you can see, the second row clearly has a higher REF_NO, but a lower ARPDS_ID than the third row.
CC YY MM DD REF_NO SECONDS DECI_MAL        ARPDS_ID
20 13 05 25 1258   57      00              15584205
20 13 06 04 1718   56      00              15669414
20 13 06 04 1711   48      00              15682078
Can anyone help me understand why this happened? I didn't believe it when it was first brought to my attention, and had the database restored that contained the actual tmp (not global temporary) table we created with the query above so I could prove to myself that the query above *actually* created these results. It was not until I saw that with my own eyes that I believed that this happened.
Thanks

PS - What happened to the Preview Post functionality? Am I just not seeing it?

Hi,
Whatever you'd naturally expect, ROWNUM probably doesn't do it.
ROWNUM is assigned as rows are fetched from the table (or subquery), before the ORDER BY clause.
If you want ROWNUM to reflect any particular order, then do an ORDER BY in a sub-query, and use ROWNUM in the super-query,
WITH ordered_data AS
    SELECT    cc, yy, mm, dd, ref_no, seconds, deci_mal
    FROM      p
    ORDER BY cc, yy, mm, dd, ref_no, seconds, deci_mal
SELECT o.*
,       CAST (ROWNUM AS NUMBER (14))   AS arpds_id
FROM    ordered_data o
If the problem is more complicated than what you posted, you may want to use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function instead of ROWNUM.

List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.

The website Kotaku brings me to a blank white page when i try do a search or click a link to an older post, it says done in the loading bar. Also had an error where I couldn't log in properly while trying to post this question on these forums.

Yesterday I clicked the "link Facebook account" on the website www.kotaku.com.au. Prior to that I can't remember having this issue. Not sure if its related.
My first idea was to use safe mode, which worked. so i disabled my addons in non-safe mode but it still didn't work.
The only thing that solved the problem was clearing my cookies, so for now I have the cookies of kotaku blocked. Obviously not an ideal situation.
I found these error message in console:
Error: Permission denied for <http://network.alluremedia.com.au> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.kotaku.com.au>.
Error: pageTracker is not defined
Source File: javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/interaction/rollover');
Line: 1
I was originally going to post this as a website error, however when trying to ask this question using Firefox I was presented with my log in name and a log out button, rather than the Ask a New Question page. Once again, it worked fine when I disabled cookies.
So now I'm thinking it may not be a single site problem.
Can't find many useful topics on the internet, needing some help.

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!
