Question sent to the wrong boards

Hi,
There have been a number of questions posted into the wrong boards recently. ( I am not getting at any one).
So here is the scenario:
You have entered the Forum, e.g. you have selected NI Discussion Forums, you can not post a question at this stage.
You have to actually select one one the boards.
So you have a Data Acquisition question. You choose Hardware because its a hardware related question and you select Multifunction DAQ because that seems to be the best fit.
Ok , now you select New Message and you follow the Steps, by firstly doing a search.
The results come back and either there are no results or the results do not answer your question.
So you post your question and you enter the screen that allows you to enter your question in full. When it enters this screen the, the boards is already pre-selected ie Multifunction DAQ, so you dont have to change this.
Question now entered and spell checked etc.. You select one of the check boxes so you get notified when some one posts an answer and Press the Submit Post. Then sit back and wait.
Your posts ends up in the TestStand Forums!!!!!
At what time in the process did you change the selected message board!!!!
Any thoughts any one, does the process need tweaking, or is it just "its been along day, you have been beating you head against the brick-wall and the problem wont go away".

Ray and friends -
This is the first I have heard about the apparent epidemic of posting
to the wrong boards. From your description, it's so misleading and it
must be incredibly frustrating!
I have made several test posts using different browsers and haven't
been able to reproduce this behavior yet. My next approach will
be to tinker with the internet browser tools to see if they have an
impact on why the messages are being sent to the wrong boards.
Can you help me narrow it down at all any more? If we can figure
out what makes the process repeatable, that will help us get to a
solution faster.
We are already working with the forum developers on the repeated posts
problem. We are continuously looking for examples to help prove
the size of the issue as well as have a hefty set of examples to work
with.

Verizon Sent me the wrong EIN numbered phone and has been nearly 3 months and still no refund

I am still not getting my money back for the phone I ordered and paid for via credit card on 11/29/2010.
You guys sent me the wrong phone with the wrong EIN number. So I was told by my local Verizon store on 11/30/2010 to send it back (Which I did) and a new phone would replace it (received new phone), The replacement phone was billed to my Verizon account and I was told I would get my money back once the first phone was returned to you guys,
I shipped the first phone back via FEDEX on 12/3/2010.
I contacted customer service on 12/31/2010 and told them I hadn’t gotten my refund yet (REF# 70331329 and was told expect a refund in 24 to 48 Business hours.
I contacted Customer service (Greta) on 2/6/2011, and she said she saw that the phone had been returned and said it should show up on the next billing cycle.
I got a new bill on 2/25/2011 and no refund was on the bill.
I contacted customer service on 2/26/2011 and talked to Jeff, he said He would fill out a TOPS request and he would call me back on 3/2/2011 and as of 3/21/2011 no call has been received from him.
I called customer service (Aman) on 3/6//2011 and he said I should get my money back in 24-72 hours and I haven’t yet.
I emailed the Verizon/Boeing contact and he said he has “no teeth “ to do anything about it, and I would need to elevate to at least supervisor level and they should be able to do something about this ………….and he is sorry he can’t help
It has been nearly 3 months and 4 phone calls by me and I have been told I should get the money back 5 times now. And still no return of my money. I think this issue needs elevating to the top of the company if necessary as this has become a joke of Customer Service from your company.
It seems that the CUSTOMER is not important to Verizon anymore.
Please stop giving me the Customer Service run around and actually return my money that I had to pay for the wrong phone that you sent me and then had me send it back.
Do I need to get legal advice or the Attorney General involved to resolve this?
Once happy customer

Rofl... 1) peer to peer forum... as much fun as your righteous rage is we can't really help (although you will probably get a pm from a rep... keep in mind you can do the same thing throught the 'contact us' link in the upper right). 2) Just as confirmation... you did pay for the second phone separately? 3) Call in, talk to a sup and tell them the situation in a calm polite manner. Have them double check to make sure the phone is showing in the warehouse... that the fedex order is showing as having been returned and that some return refund requests have been submitted... If all of that has been done, and they show it has been returned then some form of credit should be able to be worked out. Oh, I should also say that you may not need to go to a sup. A lot of reps are more than able to take care of this, gauge the confidence level of the rep for the first few minutes (along with how well they are willing to listen to you) before you decide to sup up.

Verizon sent me the wrong phone and now wants to charge me 149.99 to send the actual phone i ordered

So my phone broke, so I took it to the verizon store and looked at new phones. I then went home and ordered a phone over my landline. I was told exactly how much the phone would cost. I was told I would recieve my upgrade and they would be really nice and include a credit for the mail in offer.Oh great I said I will take it! then they sent me a phone I never ordered!!!so I called them and said hey you sent me the wrong phone, and they said oh no problem we will make notes in your account and please take it to the nearest bverizon store to just exchange it for the phone you actually ordered. So I happily go to the verizon store and ten hours later i still have no phone.they refused to honor my online price in the store!they said they would be happy to give me the phone i ordered but now it would cost me 149.99 instead of the price I ordered it for. This is ILLEGAL you cannot ship the wrong item and then charge the customer 149.99 to exchange the wrong item for the proper item IT IS ILLEGAL it is called bait and switch and is the basis for a lawsuit. I have been without a phone for a week, and they are now checking the recorded phone call to verify the deal they made!what?

You should have required them to replace the phone via mail. The mail-order store and the brick & mortar stores are separate entities and often have different pricing and/or rebate requirements.
Good luck with your lawsuit.

Apple sent me the wrong iPhone4, they won't send me the right one back!!

The fedex guy knocks on my door, I get my iphone4 today, I was all excited after waiting for 2 weeks, but when I open the case I found a 16gig iPhone4 instead of the 32gig I ordered. After waiting over one hour on the phone with support, they tell me that I am right, they sent the wrong phone.
What baffles me is their "solution" to the problem: they tell me that they have to place a return order on the phone and that once they get it back, I will be refunded and then I need to reorder AGAIN, from scratch! As if nothing happened, they send me to the back of the looong waiting line. They will not send the right iphone immediately, even though they made the mistake.
So pretty much I have to wait who knows how long to get the phone because they messed up. They won't express ship it, they won't give me one on the store in exchange (actually, I cannot even do the return on a store because I ordered online!!). All they did was to offer me one of those overpriced bumper cases of them as consolation.
Sorry, about the long rant, but I am really upset. This is not the way to treat anybody. I don't know if I want the phone now, but I guess they could care less after all the ones they are selling. Did I mention I am an apple fan?

Security e-mail sent to the wrong email

I originally created an apple profile with a hotmail account, but after it was hacked, I changed it gmail. The gmail address is shown as my primary and only e-mail address in appleid. I recently got a new phone and I was trying to purchase apps on it, but apple wants to verify my identity. Now my security question answers are all wrong, and when I try to update them, apple wants to send the security e-mail to a hotmail address.
How do I get them to send it to the gmail address.

You won't be able to change the rescue email address that you put on your account until you can answer your questions - and you won't be able to set it to be the same as any other email address that is on the account, it has to be a different address. You will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

Can I use Safari 4.0.4 on OS 10.5.7? I know it's the wrong board!!!

This is frustrating enough as it is, the minute Safari no longer works, the Safari board HERE no longer works (that, or my Firefox is a disaster).
I can't stand using anything other than Safari, it's the only browser that's fast... but mine no longer works, period.
So I'm wondering, can I just use 4.0.4 on my OS 10.5.7? I don't want to upgrade, because I hate changing things that USUALLY work fine.
thanks!!! pleeease someone respond, the Board search isn't working, and half the pages on this DIscussion result in ERROR pages.

No, Safari 4.0.4 requires 10.5.8
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/safari.html
Though it will work on a version of Tiger!
Search "Safari 4.0.3" on the web could find you a copy to reinstall on your 10.5.7.

User name sent to my email address, but never arrives. Has Firefox been hacked and user info being sent to the wrong people?

Had some issues with Firefox 35.0.1 trying to post on this forum. Fox would not accept my login, so I requested to reset my password. Password reset O.K. still a no go, thought my login was bad and requested them send my "User name" (same email) User name never arrives. I had to create a new account on the forum to post this question as I can't get my old login to work.
Anyone else having this problem or has Firefox been hacked and my "User Name" sent to someone else?

Hi maheman,
Can you try to recover the password with the email and private message me a timestamp. I can ask an admin to take a look at the technical side of what is happening, the email is removed from the public thread, however it may be necessary to investigate. (please include just the username in the private message)
Thank you.

IPod Service Error (I posted on the wrong board last time)

Okay, I see a lot of people are having similar problems but mine seems to be very hard to fix and I'm very very frustrated. I've had my iPod mini since late March, so it's not that old.
First, I cannot update my iPod with new songs. It says there is no iPod connected. It only charges when I plug it in directly or on the dock. Second, I have iTunes 5.0, just so you know. Third, I cannot update my iPod software. When I try to use the latest iPod updater (and even my old one), the screen freezes, and then says "iPod Service Error". Can anybody help me? I've tried everything and am really upset. Thank you!

hiya!
I won't get a chance to try it until I get home tonight.
okay, i'd better give you some more references now then.
if you run into problems with the registry keys, with any luck some of the ideas in the ProgMan thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2143821#2143821
... or the hutch thread:

might be of some help with that.

Packets sent out the wrong Interface on Hyper-V 2012 Failover Cluster

Here is some background information:
2 Dell PowerEdge servers running Windows Server 2012 w/ Hyper-V in a Failover Cluster environment. Each has:
1 NIC for Live Migration 192.168.80.x/24 (connected to a private switch)
1 NIC for Cluster Communication 192.168.90.x/24 (connected to a private switch)
1 NIC for iscsi 192.168.100.x/24 (connected to a private switch)
1 NIC for host management with a routable public IP (*connected to corp network) w/ gateway on this interface
1 NIC for Virtual Machine traffic (*connected to corp network)
All NICs are up, we can ping the IPs between servers on the private network and on the public facing networks. All functions of hyper-v are working and the failover cluster reports all interfaces are up and we receive no errors. Live migration
works fine. In the live migration settings i have restricted the use of the 2 NICs (live migration or cluster comm).
My problem is that our networking/security group sees on occasion (about every 10 minutes with a few other packets thrown in at different times) syn packets that are destined for the 192.168.80.3 interface goes out of the public interface and is dropped
at our border router. These should be heading out of the 192.168.80.x or 192.168.90.x interfaces without ever hitting our corporate network. Anyone have an idea of why this might be happening? Traffic is on TCP 445.
Appreciate the help.
Nate

Hi,
Please check live migration and Cluster Communication network settings in cluster:
In the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, if the cluster that you want to configure is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Manager, click Manage a Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster that you want to configure.
Expand Networks.
Right-click the network that you want to modify settings for, and then click Properties.
There are two options:
Allow cluster network communication on this network-- Allow clients to connect through this network
Do not allow cluster network communication on this network
If the network is used only for cluster node communication, clear “Allow clients to connect through this network” option.
Check that and give us feedback for further troubleshooting, for more information please refer to following MS articles:

I think my laptop was sent with the wrong Graphics Card....

I bought my laptop (dv6-7014nr) over a year ago and have continuously had issues with fram rates in games. I thought it might be damaged and finally ran a dxdiag. It indicated that my current graphics card was a 'Intel(R) HD Grpahics 4000" when it should actually be a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.
What do I do?

Email being sent using the wrong email account

I have two email accounts set up on my phone. Every time I send a new email or reply to an email it automatically sends it out using an old email address that I not longer use. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

check under your outgoing servers section if there's still an outgoing server set to live or hotmail...
i bet your primary servers for both email accounts are configured incorrectly and the live one is not.

ICal Cancelled and sent someone the wrong response.

Hi, I posted this in iCal hours ago. Nothing.
Thought everyone here might have a better idea.
I was confirming a meeting between two parties and when I got one response saying to green light it, the other person got a iCal event that stated the meeting was cancelled!
Any idea why this would happen?
She received an email from me that had nothing in the body, just a header stating
"MEETING CANCELED." Please advise.
Thanks

It is a little hard because iPhoto has a different support division than everything else. I think I went through sales support, or something and told them it was for an iphoto printed product.

Wrong board -- but Compressor question

Hi All
Yes, I know this is the wrong board to post a Compressor question -- but the folks in the Compressor group seem to be baffled by this so I thought somebody in here might have a clue. I'm sure lots of us in here use Compressor on a regular basis -- so you may have an answer to share.
By the way, the problem I'm about to describe has become a common issue. Lots of people are having the exact same trouble and so far Apple really hasn't responded to the cries for help.
First of all -- I'm running Final Cut Studio crossgrade on a brand spankin new G5 dual 2.3. Everything is as clean as possible -- no other software has ever lived on this machine -- and there is nothing on there now except the aforementioned Studio. Everything is updated to the max.
Problem -- Compressor won't compress. When you throw a clip (ANY clip -- any movie any format) at it for mpeg2 compression, it grinds away for a while then quits with a "quicktime error 0" message. Never does it in the same place.
Those who have battled this thing say it appears to be a conflict between Compressor 2.0 and up and the dual processors. One workaround is to download CHUD tools and use the utility to turn off one of the processors. That apparantly works for some people -- not for others including me. No other solutions have come up. Supposedly, Apple hasn't commented or done much to address this.
Well -- this bug is really hurting me because I really need to do DVD compression. Yes, I know there are other compression products out there -- but doggone it -- Compressor ought to work. What good is it to anyone with a G5 if it's not gonna do the job it is designed to do?
Does anyone have ANY idea what's really going on with all that and have a real surefire solution? Folks on the compressor board have tried everything they can think of but to no avail.
Again, I know this is not the right room for this question --- but I'm sure Compressor is in the workflow of many people here -- so it becomes an issue for all of us.
Thanks
Steve

Hi all -- me again -- the originator of this thread.
To answer the various questions that have been raised --
This happens on ALL clips I try to feed into Compressor. Now by that I mean when I use Compressor as a standalone. I'm a tweaker, but I've resisted that urge on several attempts and just tried to use the standard Compressor preset for mpeg2. I've tried FCP movies and generic Quicktime clips and stuff done in other flavors -- even some old spots done on a Targa card. Same result.
One thing I haven't tried yet is doing it thru DVDSP. Maybe that interface would make a difference. I DID, out of desperation, do a test using iDVD. It worked. Looked pretty awful but it worked.
I don't have Shake installed. Am aware of the problems associated with that.
This is so weird. There are some folks out there who have pretty much exactly the same system as I do -- they did the trick of turning off one processor -- and it worked for them. But it didn't work for me.
I dunno -- I'm going to keep digging and looking for a good solution. My thanks to all those who have taken the time to respond.
Steve

Mail (Mavericks) replies with the wrong email address

Currently using Mavericks, 10.9.5, on my MacBook Pro (15", early 2011 version), and the default Mail app.
I belong to a fair number of email discussion groups, most specifically with Yahoo! Groups, and I've set up a specific account and email address for use with that service. I also have currently setup several other email addresses within Mail, all seven of them are POP3 accounts.
Yahoo! requires me to send email to the group from the address that is registered, but Mail doesn't use the correct email address as the default when I reply to the posts despite the fact that the original message was sent to the correct account. Mail uses the email address from the account that's at the top of the Inbox listing for the address, not the one I want used. I usually find out that messages sent were on the incorrect address when I get the bounce back from Yahoo! indicating I sent from the wrong address. Digging through the sent items, setting the address correctly and resending fixes the original fault, but my iPhone (all versions of iOS 6, 7 and 8) replies correctly, but Mavericks Mail does not.
Has anyone else had this happen to them, and was the upgrade to Yosemite the fix? Or is it still broken there?
TIA,
Jon

Open Mail preferences and select the Composing tab. Check the Send New Messages From box and see what is selected. Either select an account to send from as default or select Account of selected mailbox.
Also open the Accounts tab and check the outgoing server for the account. Be sure you have the correct SMTP server set for that account and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do the same for all accounts making sure you have the correct server for each account. If there is a problem with that server, you will get a pop up asking to select a different server in the event of a failure. Otherwise, if that box is not checked, it will just select another server if there is a problem with the one for that account. That could be your problem.
Send a test message to verify that. You can also reorder the mailboxes under the inbox by dragging each to the order you want. Depending on the settings in preferences, either the highlighted account will be the sending account or the default address you set in the list. Replies should always come from the address that was sent too.
