PROBLEMS SINCE THE DISCUSSIONS FORUM CHANGED

Since Apple changed the Discussions section, I've had problems. This used to be the best system of all of the groups I used. Now, it's hard to find what I'm looking for. The boolean operators don't function properly. When I searched "fonts AND book", I got results including "and" being highlighted, got results without both words that were supposed to be there, and still don't know if the problem with iPhoto fonts when making books is here. I'll keep looking...

Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?

since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?

As i've posted in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
My big question here is :
why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

Seeking help for an unresolved problem in the MHP forum

Over in the discussion forum at the http://www.mhp.org webspace, in the "Getting Started With MHP Programming" section there is a thread named "How To Sign An App." where there are a lot of unanswered questions.
Is there anyone here who could perhaps have a look at the questions there please?
There used to be a man named Roger who was very knowledgeable about MHP in that forum and I have seen posts by him here in the past. I only know of him as Roger, so know of no other way to ask for his help than to hope that he is reading this posting. So, if Roger is reading this, could you possibly help please?
William

Hi Roger
Thank you for replying.
In the event Jon Piesing answered the question on 12 May.
http://www.mhp.org/forum/forum.xml?forum=13&thread=106&msgid=266
The answer was as follows.
quote
Right now app signing isn't used.
If it was used, the idea was that broadcasters would have signing certificates not developers. Whoever put your application on air would be responsible for signing it.
end quote
That resolved the problem which had been raised as it was clear that an application developer does not need to obtain a certificate.

Strange Problem Logging Into Discussions Forums

Lately, I have had trouble logging in to Apple's Discussion Forums. Here's a typical experience:
- I go to the Discussioins forum (I am current logged out)
- I click on Login
- My user name is already filled out.
- I manually enter my password.
- The forum takes me to a "create new account" screen.
- I ignore the "new account" screen and click on the Discussions tab at the top of Apple's website.
- I'm back in the Discussions Forum, but it still shows Login.
- I click on Login and I'm automatically logged in.
Any idea why I'm having this issue?

Many problems since the update - help?

Hi all,
Let me start by saying that I am, for all intents and purposes, a huge Apple booster. I have a new 24" iMac. I have an Airport Extreme. I have an iBook G3 I use for travel (I'm a journalist) and recently handed down my old G3 iMac to my son after loading it up with RAM. I extoll Apple products because they are elegant and simple, and a pure pleasure to use.
Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience with Apple TV since the 2.0 update.
My problems since the update include:
1) My Apple TV regularly "hangs" when trying to connect to ATV content. About 50% of the time when I try to play a song or podcast or movie preview -- whatever -- instead of connecting to it, I'll get an "Accessing iTunes Store" message which, after about 30 seconds of the little spinning icon, will inevitably revert to "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again later." I have to "back out" of the submenu (e.g., "Movies" or "Podcasts" or "TV Shows"), and enter another, different submenu before it will connect. I've tried all combinations of Airport settings ( both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz N, mixed b/g/n), and many different channels, but this keeps on happening. I have troubleshot my network connection with my ISP, and have tested the integrity of the line at DSL Reports. The connection and line quality is fine. Connection strength: signal = 54; noise = 92. In other words, decent.
2) When attempting to play HD Trailers, it is now hit and miss whether or not they will load. Instead of a blue progress bar, my screen goes black for about 15-20 seconds. (During this time, I cannot exit out of the action by pressing 'menu' on my Apple remote; it is effectively unresponsive.) After the 15 seconds or so are up, I get the following message: "Selected content is not available. Format is not recognized" -- or something close to this. After I exit, play an SD trailer, and then hit into the same trailer again, it will often (but not always) work.
3) Album cover art flips often "stick" when turning, especially when playing songs with long, scrolling titles. (I spent a lot of time on the phone with an Apple TV Product Specialist and, after he replicated the issue, he passed on his findings to the Apple Engineering. It is, I was informed, not high on their list of priorities
4) Unplugging and then replugging the ATV to reboot causes a small electrical spark. Needless to say, I don't tempt fate by doing this any more, and instead use the "-" and "menu" restart method.
All in all, a very disappointing experience of late. Very un-Apple.
By the way, connecting to YouTube videos and Flickr contacts ALWAYS works. No problems at all with any non-Apple site accessed through the ATV. So the problem lies with Apple.
Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties? I'm at my wit's end with this thing. Never thought I'd be saying that about an Apple product. But I want to try and solve it, so I'm asking for help. If nothing can be done, I'm going to ask Apple to replace it, or return it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Trust me you are not alone. Apple's "not high on their list of priorities" response is outrageous.
That was a paraphrase. The exact words, I'm afraid, I didn't write down. I wish I had, though. It was truly a beautiful example of corporate bafflegab. Something like: "since this only affects the visual aspects of the unit and not its overall performance" -- I told the (very nice) product specialist that the Apple TV was pretty well ALL AND ONLY about visuals. (FWIW, he agreed.) Anyway...

I have been having this problem since the fourth of this month. I tried to open iTunes and this error came up: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 windows error 126". If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Search the discussions forum

so... we used to be able to search the discussions forum. Maybe I'm just missing where that feature went to. When I use the Search at the upper right corner of the page it searches all of Apple.com, but strangely enough rarely hits the forums. Please point me in the right direction.

The Discussion Forum

The discussion forum which Oracle has come up with a new look ,
i feel is more cumbersome to use.
The earlier forum was much better in terms of usage .
Although the look and feel wise the new forum is much better but
its not user friendly .
Sorry to say but the previous Discussion forum was much more
better.

Noted. Comments about the discussion forum itself can be posted
on the feedback forums.

Editing the discussion forum portlet

Hi,
I've just deployed the discussion forum portlet from portal center, and am using it in a portal. But, how can I remove the big Oracle Logo that is displaying in the portlet?
Best regards
Eva Svensson

Hi Evan,
Are you talking about OracleAS Provider for Jive Forums?
If you are, then you can remove the logo by going to:
htdocs/launchLink.jsp
and modify the table tag which has a reference to the logo(images/logo.gif)
thanks,

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Hi,
Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
Note the Number
At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
Jive are the only real players in this market.
To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
I post mostly about iChat.
I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor.
That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-
the discussion forum format
7:55 PM Saturday; May 7, 2011
 G4/1GhzDual MDD (Leopard 10.5.8)
 MacBookPro 2Gb( 10.6.7)
, Mac OS X (10.6.7),
"Limit the Logs to the Bits above Binary Images."  No, Seriously

Right place to submit bug reports for the discussions forums?

I know you can post suggestions here regarding how the Discussions system may be improved, but I'd just like to record a bug somewhere and then be informed if and when it is ever fixed. I'm thinking of something like the bugreporter web app that apple makes available. Anyone know about anything like that?

Try it with bugreport.apple.com. Need to be a registered ADC Member, but that frees. Be sure to pick a bug that is reproducible with a simple step by step recipe on the most current software.
So what is this bug you have been talking about?
Recurring complaint of mine:
March 2006 [If the RSS feeds contained pubDate and author that would be great!|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1892109#1892109]
April 2008 [better rss feeds without jf namespace prefix|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1468264&tstart=189]
The RSS feeds are almost useful. They actually include the author and create date information, but do so in a format that neither safari or any other garden variety RSS reader handles.
Jive's own documentation on the subject [Jive Community: Content Syndication via RSS|http://www.jivesoftware.com/community/docs/DOC-1022] recommends reformatting the output to suit the needs of your audience in the section titled "*Displaying RSS (or, actually doing something with this stuff)*".
It seems the jf: prefixed tags aren't meant to be pushed out to the RSS clients. I certainly haven't found a RSS reader that deals with them correctly or lets you workaround them. So although the feeds have a creation date, modification date, author, and reply count, none of that information can be seen in a garden variety RSS reader. This is particularly a problem for the create date, since the create date of each article is replaced with the pub date of the feed. The pub date of the feed is the time when you pull it down, and that changes each time the feed is refreshed.
Anyway ... it seems to me that it would be a small and correct change that would take the existing RSS offerings that last inch into the realm of useful. Maybe I'll be surprised.
