Question for an administrator on this forum...

Can you all add common questions to the top of the screen that are locked (similar to how automobile forums do it?) at the top of the screen and highlighted for users to read so the same question is not posted over and over again?  Add one that 8.0.2 release is available.  Not sure if this possible, but I have noticed users ask the same questions that have just been asked because they don't scroll through first to see if the question has already been started or answered.

    Hello, welcome to the forums.
    What you may not realise is that each Adobe product has its own specialist forum, and it's very important to choose the right one. This forum isn't about products, it's about comments on the forums themselves.
    So, please go back to http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html and choose the right forum. But first, make sure you know the name of your product.
    When you look at the list of messages in a forum, there is a box above that describing what the forum is for. Take care to read it carefully, or you may put your message in a forum where there are no experts who understand your question. Also, check to see whether there are any "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions) sections in the product forum, and search for previous discussions about the question you wish to ask before starting a new one.

    this is maybe because users are directly forwarded to this forum when looking for a contact in the otn-contact page. i suggest to change the contact-site and the direct the users to the "forums home" page.

  • Restrict my question to one person on this forum

    How do I create a message and send it to only one person

    Thanks!

    Yep,

    I tend to use the drop-in on another thread if the person has not reached Level 6 (As it is now).
    Otherwise I would tend to use the the Level 6 + Lounge and a more formal "Bat Signal"
    Someone dropping in to one of "my threads" is likely to be asking something about Messages or iChat and be "on Topic" in that sense.
    (Of course there are days when I could argue that the drop in question does not match the specific on going question in hand  .  But I know I can be fickle).
    I know I follow a fairly narrow band of topics, partly based on knowledge and partly on time restraints. I no longer have a job that gives me days off in the week which I used to use here in other communities.
    I could understand someone of level 6 or higher who I consider to be more knowledgeable than myself having question that were "off topic" more often than I might and finding it a distraction.
    However at the end of the day it is a matter of perception.

  • Question for Forum Hosts

    Sorry, this is a question for you about how this forum works or what options I am supposed to use, versus being a new problem... I couldn't find a "Contact Us" link to get this question to you any other way.
    I posted a message (marked as a question), "Wireless-G Card causes Tecra 730CDT to Hang," on February 14th. I got a reply from "Quad" and I then replied to that reply (and marked it "still not answered"). The now 3-part message was on the main forum list for about 1/2 day and then it disappeared from it completely. I can do a search and find the original message and the 2 replies, but they are not on the main list.
    I can't figure out why it is not on the main forum list. Did I do or say something wrong so it was dropped from the list? Did I fail to do some step or check some box that is required before it can return to the list?
    I really would like the original message and replies back on the main forum list, as I still have the same problem and am hoping someone will see it and provide a solution to my problem. Please advise.
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    Hi Ivan,
    First, thank you very much for clearing up what I thought was a mystery of my disappearing posting. Basically, I thought my problem belonged in the TE and Tecra Series forum (what I thought of as the "main page") and was dismayed when I couldn't find it in there. Yes, the Wireless Board is definitely the more appropriate spot.
    Secondly, thank you too for your opinion on my attempt at jamming Wireless-G onto my old laptop. I am seeing that you and Quad must be correct... the fact that the 730CDT works so well with my 10/100 wired card made me feel it could handle everything.
    I have to admit I have never tried slower Wireless-B. Technology has moved so fast and prices have dropped so much that it was cheaper to buy a brand new boxed kit (router and card) for Wireless-G than it was to buy an old Wireless-B set up... I got caught up in getting the best deal instead of making the best technology match.
    I will close this question on "where's my posting?" but will leave the original "730CDT Hang" posting alive for awhile longer.
    Many thanks again,
    Wayne

  • Questions for BAS

    Questions for BAS
    New to this forum, but I am running three Athlon 64 Boards here. The Abit MAX3 the MSI NEO on the KT800 chipsets. Also running a Gigabyte Nforce 3 K8NPro.
    You have stated in many posts that the CPU decides what memory it uses, well I have to raise a few points. I have two sticks of Kingston Hyper X with Winbond BH5 work in both the MSI and the Abit, Two sticks of Kingston Hyper X Winbond CH5 will only work in the Abit, not in the MSI, all sticks also work on the Gigabyte. That disproves your theory somewhat. Also Abits bios update has listed as improved memory compatibility, if that is the case, then it is obvious that they cannot change your processor so they must be changing board paameters, relating to timing or voltages. This is a confusing issue.
    Regarding the PCI Lock, and that the FSB does not control the hypertransport or PCI clock, why would VIA be busy implementing this in the K8T880 if it had no effect, and why does the hard drive get corruption above 230 fsb if the clock is not changing, it does not happen on the Nforce150 chipset. Also Cool and Quiet works by manipulating the multiplier to change the processor frequency, this is a multiplication of the FSB, and CPU Z also is able to read correctly the FSB.I am  not saying that what you say is incorrect, but I am trying to evaluate the situation here.
    Some explanation would be welcome as I have not read this explanation anywhere else on the web, and no major hardware review site states this either. Lost Circuits has a pretty thorough review of the chipset and states issues with the PCI clock and hypertransport clock changing. If you use the Nvidia system Utility on the NForce 3 board it also reports the Hypertransport clock, and that is a direct association with the fsb and multiplier. Comments welcome. Also any idea when the voltage issue will be fixed regarding the Vcore, I know of a Beta bios but is it likely to be released soon. Strange thing is the Gigabyte board does almost the same thing, but will og to 1.55 just like the MSI will using windows to overclock.

    Hi,
    As for the memory controller, see this document:
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23932.pdf
    As for the via chipset:
    http://www.via.com.tw/en/k8-series/k8t800.jsp
    Anyway, it's actually funny, as everyone has a different story....
    And nobody tells exactly how it's done, not even AMD....
    I just gave my best idea of how it works, as nobody seems to know exactly (or doesn't want to say) it's all guessing....
    As Anantech has another idea as well:
    http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=3
    He say it's taking it from the HT bus.....and the FSB doesn't exists....
    But my MSI manual states that it has an LDT transmitter clock, that controls HT and can only be set Auto, 200, 400, 600 or 800MHz...
    So if anyone has a better idea of how it exactly works, please enlighten us all.....
    One thing i'm 100% sure of, the memory is controlled by the CPU, not the board

  • First Question, is this forum only in english?

    I use Adobe Creative Design Web Premium Suite CS 6.0 on my computer here.
    I have the second license installed om my Notebook at home.
    Now I become a new very fast WIN 7 Computer and I would install CS 6 before I work with this computer in 1..2 Weeks on this new Computer - without deactivate first here on my working Computer.
    Is that possible?
    Par example I install on my new computer CS6 with the activation Nr., then I become a message I can't install before i deactivate one license....???
    Thank you for a answer...
    Kind regards
    Kurt
    My question on the top: is this forum only in english language???

    First Answer:  No, the forums are not only in English language, but they are supported by a majority of people that do speak the English language.  If you look you will see an option to "Translate" which can sometimes be used to translate a posting to a different language.  I say "Sometimes" because sometimes it is broken and will not work and sometimes it will translate something to a form that is hard to understand.
    As far as your activations go, you are only allowed two activations at any given time.  So if you have two already activated then you need to deactivate (Help -> Deactivate) one of them in order to activate yet another machine.

  • Question to Moderators of this Forum

    Hello Moderators,
                               First of all, a very LOTs of thanks, for creating such a Great Platform for the solution of an ERROR known as Community Network Forums.
    Here we can discuss regarding any error, issue related to the SAP, But i am seeing that most of my Post are being neglected and thrown-away from this  Forum to the Test and Playground environment.
    I am not in a Habit of posting my question to this Forum, first i try to take Help of Mr. GOOGLE, if i do not get any suggestion then i POST my questions to the Forums.
    I did not got any of the Solution from Test and Playground Environment, and there are certaing issues which needs to be taken care immediately, and for that People use this Forum.
    These thing are not mentioned in the Rules OF Engagement for this Forum, that the Post will be moved to Test and Playground system.
    I know in SAP we have Test System, where we can test our functinality before putting it into PRODUCTION.
    But here in test and playground system, i am seeing that my post are not been attended, and getting older and older.
    Can anybody explain, whether my Questions are irrelevant, so that they can be neglected, OR my questions are not made for this Forum.
    Please do reply.
    Thanks and Regards,
    CB

    Hi CB,
    What typically happens is that the "Report Abuse" button raises an alert for the moderators from one or more community members that some thing is not right with the thread.
    We then also look at the track record of previous complaints to gage how to react.
    In your specific case more effort should go into the question and I also recomment stating what you have managed to find or try yourself that does not work.
    Also you have duplicate posted in the past, which does not count in your favour and contributors as well as moderators dont like that.
    In the past we have rejected such posts. Now we often move them to the "Beginner's Corner" (which for the moment still has the title "Test & Playground forum" but will be changed later this year to a beginners forum for each category - I am told).
    Personally I also dont like the side affect of folks rushing in to answer easy questions over and over again and neglecting the more interesting ones (a.k.a. "flooding the forum").
    Hope you understand.
    Is there any specific question of yours which you feel should be moved back to the forum? I will take a second look at it if you do as well.. 
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator"

    I am suddenly getting this message when I try to copy a file from my new Macbookpro to my Powerbook running 10.4.9.
    "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "file i am trying to transfer". stop continue
    I hit continue and get the error message: "The item "that I am transferring" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
    I say continue and get the error: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priveleges for some of the items."
    My network was working fine until today. I can copy fine to all other computers on my network. But not this one.
    If I initiate a transfer from the Powerbook, everything works fine.
    Ideas?

    I experience the exact issue between a macbook pro and an iMac.
    I can access the files locally on my macbook, copy them on usb-stick, etc.
    but ... when I try to copy the files to my iMac ... it fails with the sequence of questions you mentioned.
    However!
    I can copy whatever I like from my macbook if I use my wifes account.
    So...
    Imho there is a problem when the SAME account is used on both systems.
    In my case, I copied my account from the macbook to the (new) iMac.
    Mac OS X seems to be confused when the same accounts are used.
    Does this makes sense?
    All help welcome.

  • Question for Mike - LaCie FireWire & iDVD5

    Mike - Can you help please ? John Beatty suggested I post this to you :
    I have just bought a LaCie Double Layer bus-powered Firewire DVD. It is an NEC DVD+-RW ND-6550A device. The drive came with Toast 6 Titanium, which is now installed.
    I also have an internal Matshita DVD reader/ CD writer as part of the original G4 setup.
    When I attempt to burn a project in iDVD5.0.1, the internal drive opens up and I get a message telling me to insert a DVD, even though this is not a DVD writer. I've tried Control-clicking the Burn icon, but nothing different happens. There is no option for drive selection in the iDVD menu structure either.
    I don't really want to spend ages writing Disk Images, then writing to the LaCie, and I've searched this forum for a similar issue - but 'fraid I can't find anything similar. Does anyone have any suggestions that will enable iDVD to recognise the external LaCie ?
    Appreciate any advice
    Paul

          RE: How do I get iDVD5 to recognise my external DVD Drive ?
    Don't skip this route - the amount of "extra" time is almost zero - in effect iDVD is doing this anyway behind the scenes to some degree. And separating encoding from burning makes a lot of sense. I always "Save as Disk Image" and burn separately.
    And there is a guy that works for LaCie that frequent this forum:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?224@@[email protected]/7
    I think you just need the proper disk burning profile from LaCie. You could probably e-mail Mike at the address on his profile. Or post a new thread titled "Question for Mike - LaCie Firewire and iDVD5"
    John B.

    Mike
    Thanks. I tried burning a disk image for a 48min video in iDVD. That worked fine when previewed. I then burnt it to DVD in Toast 6.1 using the Copy (Image File option) Tab.
    The resultant DVD will not play in either my internal Drive, nor my normal DVD player - which is a multi region player. The DVD is only recognised in the external LaCie. BUT, playing the movie only shows chapter 1 of 12, and there is no sound at all. (despite the preview showing it to be ok).
    As a test, I burnt the movie in iDVD5 using the Pfurz & Hurz plugins. It burnt ok, but I got the same result - chapter 1 only and no sound.
    My supplier for the LaCie rive suggested I also try and export the movie from iMovie to a Quick Time compression at full DV quality to make sure that worked. It doesn't - despite a 35Gb spare capacity on the Hard Drive, I either get a complete system hang with hard restarts required, Error 36 or the occasional short clip compressing OK. I'm at a loss - the fact that I get a decent image file from iDVD indicated there's nothing wrong with the video files...
    Any suggestions ??!

  • Question for Patrick

    Your online vids (http://www.pistolerapost.com/reels/reel001/reel.html) load fast and look great - I was wondering if you would be willing to explain the codec you're using...
    if not, thanks anyway for your help in this forum!

    I originally used Media Cleaner Pro - way back when and used the Sorenson 3 codec.
    But for all recent additions I have used Compressor with the preset of H.264 LAN. I hope that helps.

  • LV 5.11 Question for the old timers

    For reasons I won't get into here I am using LV 5.11 for this test.
    I have a couple arrays that are being initialized properly but not being updated and return to their uninitialized (grayed out) state when the program runs . (Min-Remain and Current State)
    Running the trace I see that the main for loop is not being executed.
    I don't think I have ever ran into this before.
    Any ideas?

    A FOR loop iterates as many times as...
    The smallest number of (1) the value wired to N and (2) the size of the smallest autoindexing input array.
    You have an autoindexing tunnel containing an empty array (from the unititialized shift register!), thus the iteration count will be zero.
    It's not really a question for old timers. This behaves the same even in 8.5 and is correct and expected.

  • Help with "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator

    I'm trying to move files from one of my external harddrives to another external harddrive. I keep getting this message "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "Documents". I also get this for other folders I want to move, but not all folders on that drive.
    I am the administrator, and it only gives me an "ok" button, no option to enter my name and password again.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem, trying to copy items from external hard disk to another computer on the network. I can copy without problems from external hard disk to my laptop. But not from external hard disk to another computer on the network, and neither from my laptop to another computer on the network, but ONLY if the files I try to copy from my laptop were first copied from that external hard drive. It keeps popping me up with this message. Please help, or fix.

  • Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

    Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
    I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
    Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
    There were 2000 songs to go through
    So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
    So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
    Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
    Can we do it with iTunes?
    I know we can do it with Nero.

    1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
    2) Download your music into iTunes.
    NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
    If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
    holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
    checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
    It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
    previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
    yet.
    3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
    all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
    box.
    4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
    then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
    up blue.
    5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
    playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
    playlist.
