Please, tell me this is wrong.

Is this right?

What is the problem here ? Virtually every other phone provider on the Planet (well maybe just the US) does this already and has done this for years; just in a differant manner.
Go to several differant phone service providers and check all the differant variations of capabilities of a phone common to all of them, based on what the phone is built to do and what Verizon or other provider allows that phone to do.
GPS is a good example: My last several kphones from Verizon all had GPS radios but Verizon Spce'ed the phone from the vender (HTC in these cases) with the GPS radio crippled in order to sell you their GPS service which would turn on the GPS function. Easy enough to hack but sort of a PIA.

    I've pretty much confirmed that the interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Word/Acrobat PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!
    Situation: two workgroups need to work with each other sharing and editing word and pdf files for complex documents containing a TOC, list of figures, etc.
    Problems reproducible on many machine types and configs:
    1. WORD FILES: TOCs do not retain hot links within a doc that has been touched by a mac, and then re-saved as a PDF with the intent to have a linked TOC with chapter heads.
    2. PDF FILES: that have been touched by a mac, for example to edit the document properties, will loose all TOC function as in problem #1 above.
    In short, this rots for mac users who have to share/edit these files with PC brethren.
    The only solution that I found for mac users is this:
    Do your thing in Word 2008. Then have a PC version of Word and PC version of acrobat installed on a virtual drive like Parallels or VMWare, etc. Delete your TOC using MS Word for Windows, reinsert a new one, and then use the PC distiller installed into word by Acrobat Professional to create a new PDF that will be cross-platform functional.
    I had a meeting with the Mac users to explain this work around and they looked at me like I was crazy, and they pretty much said go pound sand, we don't care if the TOCs are linked or not.
    Well, I may be exaggerating there a bit, but NO ONE was happy with this solution, including myself. Our BIG question is "Is anyone going to fix this problem in the shortterm?!?" And it's Microsoft and Adobe both that seem to have some responsibility here...with an emphasis on Adobe, as it's clearly not just an MS isssue, as you can totally destroy a working TOC in a PDF file by just editing the file properties on a mac. Arg...
    I also find it frustrating that Adobe does not have a forum for cross-platform specific issues, which to me seems consipiritory. Ha!

    My internet connection is working.

    Okay. We'll try a different utility.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • Checking links TO a specific file, please tell me this is finally available...

    OK, it's been a few years since I originally asked this question. I think it was back when I was using DW 4, or maybe 3. I'm sure there's an answer by now since we're up to version CS4, which I guess is DW 10, right? (I'm still using DW 8 because I haven't considered the new features that useful.) I did use the search but I don't see any solutions. I will be SHOCKED if this is still not a feature. I refuse to upgrade again until this feature is there as a matter of principle.
    Before I delete any document (I usually delete 5-10 each day), I check to see if any pages are linked to it. The best (fastest) way I've found is to just hit delete on the file and see if a warning message pops up from the site cache listing some pages that link to it. If so, then I use the find command to find all the pages with that filename in the source code. If no warning pops up, it's safe to remove it. I've always considered this a lame way to find out if any other pages link to a file. Even more lame (lamer?) is having to navigate through a gigantic site map or having to use the find command that rips through every single file on the site. So, can someone please tell me if I can finally right-click the file and choose something like "pages that link to this file." The data is right there in the cache, and if it can show it in the warning message, why not have a command for it?
    Thanks in advance! I'm optimistic...
    Joe

    PS: RAM = Memory as in your G4 has a max support for 2GB of DDR333/PC2700 (if you have an MDD G4).
    Disk drives are storage capacity and are usually 80-500GB (gigabyte).
    Depending on your G4 model, you may have support for large (48-bit LBA) drives greater than 120GB or not. And if not, would need a controller card.
    Based on the sizes you mention, it sure sounds like an older (much older) hard drive and probably G4. In which case you might want to look into a disk drive controller (ATA or SATA) and my advice would be to get SATA (Serial ATA) and SATA type drives.
    OS X today needs at least 10-20GB drive space, plus whatever you need for files you keep. A 2nd drive for backup. Even a drive with an emergency system.

    That's unfortunate, because it would appear that the cable is pretty much toast. If it wasn't before, it pretty much is now that you've cracked it open.
    Either borrow one, or bite the bullet and buy one locally. You're not getting anywhere with that one.

  • SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!!!

    i traded my friend ipods because his wouldn't work and we found out it worked on my computer. it worked for a few days and then when i plug it in it doesn't charge but it says it is. and then when i unplug it it says it's still charging, like its flashing with the lightning bolt in the upper right hand corner. and when i put it to sleep it comes up with the plug symbol for it being charged. and we both have pc's, whats wrong?

    First, try restoring the ipod.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    Also, if you have an ipod ac adapter, try charging it from the adapter.
    If this does not resolve the issue, the ipod needs to be serviced.

  • Please tell me what is wrong with my code.

    Hi there,
    I have developed a simple class alpPhoto.java in which I can find out the width height of a image using ImageIcon. Everything works fine when I deploy myApp.ear file on my OC4J - NT version. But when I deploy myApp.ear file on my OC4J - Unix version, the jsp that I call alpPhoto got hung until timed out. Here is the code of alpPhoto:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.* ;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class alpPhoto {
    private int ImgWidth ;
    public void setImgWidth(int width )
    this.ImgWidth = width ;
    public int getImgWidth()
    return this.ImgWidth ;
    private int ImgHeight ;
    public void setImgHeight(int height)
    this.ImgHeight = height ;
    public int getImgHeight()
    return this.ImgHeight;
    private String ImgURL ;
    public void setImgURL(String strURL){
    this.ImgURL = strURL ;
    public String getImgURL()
    return this.ImgURL ;
    public alpPhoto(String imgPath) throws Exception
    if( imgPath == null || imgPath == ""){
    throw new Exception("The physical path to the photo is empty.") ;
    }else{
    System.out.println( imgPath);
    File myFile = new File(imgPath) ;
    if(myFile.exists()){
    URL myURL = myFile.toURL() ;
    setImgURL( myURL.toString() );
    ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(myURL);
    setImgWidth( image.getIconWidth() );
    setImgHeight( image.getIconHeight()) ;
    }else{
    throw new Exception(imgPath + " does not exist.\n\n") ;
    Here is how I call this class in my jsp file:
    <%
    alpPhoto curPhoto = new alpPhoto(imgPath) ;
    int width = curPhoto.getImgWidth();
    int height = curPhoto.getImgHeight();
    %>
    where the "imgPath" is the parameter passed from other jsp file.
    I wonder if there is bug or obviously what is the main difference between the OC4J - NT version and the OC4J - Unix version.
    Thanks in advance.
    Henry

    Not sure if this will help, but take a look at the MediaTracker class. The MediaTracker will wait until an image is completely loaded before continuing. This will ensure that you width/height values are always non-zero.
