Remediation functionality....

Hi,
I am using SUN 7.1 version and i need help to get the details about remediation functionality. What we are doing:
1) From end user page we are login with user id and clicking on remediation tab then we are able to find the request list and if we click on any one of request hiper link then one page is displaying like "Request Remediation" and there are four buttons like "remediate", "Forward", "EditUser", "Cancel". But when we are clicking on Edit User Button then there is no action generating on that.
I need assistance to get the details to know that how to execute the Update User WF when clcik on Edit Use Button or How to use this Button Functionality.

Sure, to sum it up first, the basic mechanic is that each slide asks the captivate project whether or not it's been answered correctly. If it has already been answered correclty it's skipped. At the end of the quiz it goes back to the start.
In a little more detail:
Slide 1 - I set a variable at the root level as an array that is the length of the number of questions I have in the slide. I then set all of the cells in the array to 0.
Question Slides - At each question I check whether or not its corrosponding array cell has a 1 or a 0 in it. If it's a 0 I continue with the question. If it's a 1 I skip to the next slide (this necessitates a slide transition of some kind otherwise you see a single frame of the question that you're skipping
After the Quiz - I have a slide that compares the total value of the array cells added up against the length of the array. If the array value is the same as the length then all questions have been answered correctly. If not it returns to the beginning of the quiz. Rinse, repeat.

Issue in Quiz Remediation

Hello All,
I have been facing an issue with Quiz remediation.
I have developed a course with 30 slides dividing it into three sets.
After every set of slides I have inserted a set of 10 questions.
Now, as the user gets any question wrong i have directed it to a specific slide. From where the next button returns back to the incorrectly answered question on clicking next. (using advanced action "go to next slide + return to quiz").
After user successfully completes the first set of questions he/she can progress to the next set of slides which also have the remediation functionality for the second set of questions.
The problem comes in the first slide of the second set of slides. When I click next it takes me back to the last slide of the first set of questions.
I have tried using advanced actions and searched everywhere but could not find any such issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Mirza

Captivate 6 includes a new feature called Return to Quiz.
You can set the On Last Attempt action on the Quiz slide to jump to your remediation slide (3). You can place a button on that slide labelled as Next and set its action as Return to Quiz. The first time the user passes through that remediation slide, the button action defaults to Continue. But if you returned to that slide from a failed question slide, then on clicking the button again it would jump you back to the question slide you just failed, and the user would be given another attempt at the question.
I'm not personally in favour of this particular 'feature' because it basically means the user can loop around as many times as they want until they get the question correct. In my view this isn't great instructional design.
But it might be good enough for what you want.

Illustrator CS5 crashing on exit

Illustrator CS5 keeps crashing on every exit. I am hoping someone can identify a more appealing solution than the workaround I found.
Steps I take to reproduction the problem (with or without creating or opening documents between):
Launch Illustrator
Exit Illustrator
Symptoms
Once the Illustrator application window and taskbar icon disappear, a message window pops up, "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution." The only option is to click the "Cancel" button. The window pops up again. So, I click the "Cancel" button again.
The following errors are added to the Windows application error logs (note the two different exception codes):

Efforts to Remedy
Functioning or inconclusive workarounds:
Launch Illustrator from a new Windows user account
I got this one to work. But, I lose a lot of personal settings.
"Verify" Illustrator
Member usgrant7 posted a solution (#5 in the discussion "Illustrator error upon closing") that worked for him/her. But, the instructions were too vague and unspecific to follow with any success. I haven't had success so far with contacting that member.
Common solutions having no effect:
Reboot the computer
Uninstall Illustrator and reinstall (also tried removing various Illustrator settings folders between)
Granti full control permissions to Illustrator application folder (and all subfolders)
Launch Illustrator with administrative priviledges ("as Administrator")
Launch Illustrator in various compatibility modes

Finally, A FIX !!!!!!!!
If you are reading this for your own fix, you likely have TeamViewer installed.
"What?!", you say. "How on Earth did he know I have that on my computer?"
As odd as it sounds, TeamViewer with it's Quick Connect feature is the culprit.
Explanatory Hypothesis (Here's What I Think is Going On)
Since Adobe likes to be different even on a PC, they add their own computer code to handle the application's window dressing instead of standard Windows GUI architecture code. Notice the title bar looks different than that of any non-Adobe software installed on your computer. They decided to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.
What I believe is going on is that while TeamViewer is running, it monitors for windowed processes (those you see as a window on the screen). And, for almost every one of these processes, TeamViewer adds a little button near the standard minimize-window button. This little button being added is called a Quick Connect button, a TeamViewer feature that let's you share your application's window with another computer running TeamViewer.
So, I believe that the Quick Connect button is causing the clash between Adobe's insistance on a non-Windows look and TeamViewer's assumption that every software publisher would use Windows GUI.
Solution
“Yeah, yeah. That’s all good. So, how do I fix it?”
Here's the skinny:
Open the TeamViewer window.
From the menu bar, select "Extras" and "Options".
Select the "Advanced" tab.
Click the "Show advanced options" button and then the "Configure..." button (for "QuickConnect button").
Add "illustrator.exe" to disable the QuickConnect button for it.
You may also want to add "flash.exe" if you have professional installed, which is reported to have the same problem.
Good luck and happy illustrating without crashing every single time you exit Illustrator.

Depending on the configuration of the computer hardware and software
you may need to consider upgrade the RAM by installing more capacity.
Also, in the same vane, choose to consider upgrade the hard drive to
one of faster transfer, such as SSD, hybrid, or fusion; if not already at
least 7200-RPM and not too full of saved content.
Since no information is given about the model build configuration of Mac
there may be other suggestions to make it work better. Usually an OS X
upgrade requires one to look at the hardware resources available to it.
The OS X works best with more memory: new higher capacity chips.
This may be possible, and they should be high quality from reputable
vender who has tested them on Apple in OS X, such as OWC or Crucial.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis. Whereas on my mac
mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
to do anything.
In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing. I run a
small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
to their respective folders. On my laptop when I open up an email from my
scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
paperclip symbol. However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
Hope this helps!

Questions continue:
3) Can I continue to process in other areas of the application that is not in the same time period and category as the selected area for CLEAR while the long clear downs are running?
Thank you.

Hi Connie,
Instead of using the CLEAR try using the CLEAR FROM FACT package.
If you don't see it as an existing package in DM then you'll need to create it. There should be a Clear From Fact.dtsx in the Examples or System folder.
Thanks,
John

Error while transporting a Function Group!

HI ABAPers!
We have created many function modules in a single function group. While we are trying to transport the function group we succeeded in releasing the function group from the development server to the quality system. But while we are trying to import the same function group from the quality system, it is throwing an error 'FUNCTION GROUP NOT FIT IN SIZE'. what might be the reason for this behaviour and what would be the remedy? Please help this out and points would be awareded for the solutions.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
just an hint (i don't know if it will help u).
Try in se37 trx , menu "Utilities", shoul be "Repair function group" (o something like that).
Sometimes u have to do also with standard FM.
In second step, use unconditional mode -126 in your transport (call to your system admin ho to do that).
Hope it helps
Bye
Andrea
Pls reward if it helps

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

A replacement for the Quicksort function in the C++ library

Hi every one,
I'd like to introduce and share a new Triple State Quicksort algorithm which was the result of my research in sorting algorithms during the last few years. The new algorithm reduces the number of swaps to about two thirds (2/3) of classical Quicksort. A multitude
of other improvements are implemented. Test results against the std::sort() function shows an average of 43% improvement in speed throughout various input array types. It does this by trading space for performance at the price of n/2 temporary extra spaces.
The extra space is allocated automatically and efficiently in a way that reduces memory fragmentation and optimizes performance.
Triple State Algorithm
The classical way of doing Quicksort is as follows:
- Choose one element p. Called pivot. Try to make it close to the median.
- Divide the array into two parts. A lower (left) part that is all less than p. And a higher (right) part that is all greater than p.
- Recursively sort the left and right parts using the same method above.
- Stop recursion when a part reaches a size that can be trivially sorted.
The difference between the various implementations is in how they choose the pivot p, and where equal elements to the pivot are placed. There are several schemes as follows:
[ <=p | ? | >=p ]
[ =p | ? ]
[ <=p | =p | ? | >p ]
[ =p | p ] Then swap = part to middle at the end
[ =p | p | =p ] Then swap = parts to middle at the end
Where the goal (or the ideal goal) of the above schemes (at the end of a recursive stage) is to reach the following:
[ p ]
The above would allow exclusion of the =p part from further recursive calls thus reducing the number of comparisons. However, there is a difficulty in reaching the above scheme with minimal swaps. All previous implementation of Quicksort could not immediately
put =p elements in the middle using minimal swaps, first because p might not be in the perfect middle (i.e. median), second because we don’t know how many elements are in the =p part until we finish the current recursive stage.
The new Triple State method first enters a monitoring state 1 while comparing and swapping. Elements equal to p are immediately copied to the middle if they are not already there, following this scheme:
[ p ]
Then when either the left (<p) part or the right (>p) part meet the middle (=p) part, the algorithm will jump to one of two specialized states. One state handles the case for a relatively small =p part. And the other state handles the case for a relatively
large =p part. This method adapts to the nature of the input array better than the ordinary classical Quicksort.
Further reducing number of swaps
A typical quicksort loop scans from left, then scans from right. Then swaps. As follows:
while (l<=r)
while (ar[l]<p)
l++;
while (ar[r]>p)
r--;
if (l<r)
{ Swap(ar[l],ar[r]);
l++; r--;
else if (l==r)
{ l++; r--; break;
The Swap macro above does three copy operations:
Temp=ar[l]; ar[l]=ar[r]; ar[r]=temp;
There exists another method that will almost eliminate the need for that third temporary variable copy operation. By copying only the first ar[r] that is less than or equal to p, to the temp variable, we create an empty space in the array. Then we proceed scanning
from left to find the first ar[l] that is greater than or equal to p. Then copy ar[r]=ar[l]. Now the empty space is at ar[l]. We scan from right again then copy ar[l]=ar[r] and continue as such. As long as the temp variable hasn’t been copied back to the array,
the empty space will remain there juggling left and right. The following code snippet explains.
// Pre-scan from the right
while (ar[r]>p)
r--;
temp = ar[r];
// Main loop
while (l<r)
while (l<r && ar[l]<p)
l++;
if (l<r) ar[r--] = ar[l];
while (l<r && ar[r]>p)
r--;
if (l<r) ar[l++] = ar[r];
// After loop finishes, copy temp to left side
ar[r] = temp; l++;
if (temp==p) r--;
(For simplicity, the code above does not handle equal values efficiently. Refer to the complete code for the elaborate version).
This method is not new, a similar method has been used before (read: http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/sort.html)
However it has a negative side effect on some common cases like nearly sorted or nearly reversed arrays causing undesirable shifting that renders it less efficient in those cases. However, when used with the Triple State algorithm combined with further common
cases handling, it eventually proves more efficient than the classical swapping approach.
Run time tests
Here are some test results, done on an i5 2.9Ghz with 6Gb of RAM. Sorting a random array of integers. Each test is repeated 5000 times. Times shown in milliseconds.
size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
5000 2039 1609
6000 2412 1900
7000 2733 2220
8000 2993 2484
9000 3361 2778
10000 3591 3093
It gets even faster when used with other types of input or when the size of each element is large. The following test is done for random large arrays of up to 1000000 elements where each element size is 56 bytes. Test is repeated 25 times.
size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
100000 1607 424
200000 3165 845
300000 4534 1287
400000 6461 1700
500000 7668 2123
600000 9794 2548
700000 10745 3001
800000 12343 3425
900000 13790 3865
1000000 15663 4348
Further extensive tests has been done following Jon Bentley’s framework of tests for the following input array types:
sawtooth: ar[i] = i % arange
random: ar[i] = GenRand() % arange + 1
stagger: ar[i] = (i* arange + i) % n
plateau: ar[i] = min(i, arange)
shuffle: ar[i] = rand()%arange? (j+=2): (k+=2)
I also add the following two input types, just to add a little torture:
Hill: ar[i] = min(i<(size>>1)? i:size-i,arange);
Organ Pipes: (see full code for details)
Where each case above is sorted then reordered in 6 deferent ways then sorted again after each reorder as follows:
Sorted, reversed, front half reversed, back half reversed, dithered, fort.
Note: GenRand() above is a certified random number generator based on Park-Miller method. This is to avoid any non-uniform behavior in C++ rand().

Theoretical Analysis
A Classical Quicksort algorithm performs less than 2n*ln(n) comparisons on the average (check JACEK CICHON’s paper) and less than 0.333n*ln(n) swaps on the average (check Wild and Nebel’s paper). Triple state will perform about the same number of comparisons
but with less swaps of about 0.222n*ln(n) in theory. In practice however, Triple State Quicksort will perform even less comparisons in large arrays because of a new 5 stage pivot selection algorithm that is used. Here is the detailed theoretical analysis:
http://solostuff.net/tsqsort/Asymptotic_analysis_of_Triple_State_Quicksort.pdf
Using SSE2 instruction set
SSE2 uses the 128bit sized XMM registers that can do memory copy operations in parallel since there are 8 registers of them. SSE2 is primarily used in speeding up copying large memory blocks in real-time graphics demanding applications.
In order to use SSE2, copied memory blocks have to be 16byte aligned. Triple State Quicksort will automatically detect if element size and the array starting address are 16byte aligned and if so, will switch to using SSE2 instructions for extra speedup. This
decision is made only once when the function is called so it has minor overhead.
Few other notes
- The standard C++ sorting function in almost all platforms religiously takes a “call back pointer” to a comparison function that the user/programmer provides. This is obviously for flexibility and to allow closed sourced libraries. Triple State
defaults to using a call back function. However, call back functions have bad overhead when called millions of times. Using inline/operator or macro based comparisons will greatly improve performance. An improvement of about 30% to 40% can be expected. Thus,
I seriously advise against using a call back function when ever possible. You can disable the call back function in my code by #undefining CALL_BACK precompiler directive.
- Like most other efficient implementations, Triple State switches to insertion sort for tiny arrays, whenever the size of a sub-part of the array is less than TINY_THRESH directive. This threshold is empirically chosen. I set it to 15. Increasing this
threshold will improve the speed when sorting nearly sorted and reversed arrays, or arrays that are concatenations of both cases (which are common). But will slow down sorting random or other types of arrays. To remedy this, I provide a dual threshold method
that can be enabled by #defining DUAL_THRESH directive. Once enabled, another threshold TINY_THRESH2 will be used which should be set lower than TINY_THRESH. I set it to 9. The algorithm is able to “guess” if the array or sub part of the array is already sorted
or reversed, and if so will use TINY_THRESH as it’s threshold, otherwise it will use the smaller threshold TINY_THRESH2. Notice that the “guessing” here is NOT fool proof, it can miss. So set both thresholds wisely.
- You can #define the RANDOM_SAMPLES precompiler directive to add randomness to the pivoting system to lower the chances of the worst case happening at a minor performance hit.
-When element size is very large (320 bytes or more). The function/algorithm uses a new “late swapping” method. This will auto create an internal array of pointers, sort the pointers array, then swap the original array elements to sorted order using minimal
swaps for a maximum of n/2 swaps. You can change the 320 bytes threshold with the LATE_SWAP_THRESH directive.
- The function provided here is optimized to the bone for performance. It is one monolithic piece of complex code that is ugly, and almost unreadable. Sorry about that, but inorder to achieve improved speed, I had to ignore common and good coding standards
a little. I don’t advise anyone to code like this, and I my self don’t. This is really a special case for sorting only. So please don’t trip if you see weird code, most of it have a good reason.
Finally, I would like to present the new function to Microsoft and the community for further investigation and possibly, inclusion in VC++ or any C++ library as a replacement for the sorting function.
You can find the complete VC++ project/code along with a minimal test program here:
http://solostuff.net/tsqsort/
Important: To fairly compare two sorting functions, both should either use or NOT use a call back function. If one uses and another doesn’t, then you will get unfair results, the one that doesn’t use a call back function will most likely win no matter how bad
it is!!

Thanks for your interest.
Excuse my ignorance as I'm not sure what you meant by "1 of 5" optimization. Did you mean median of 5 ?
Regarding swapping pointers, yes it is common sense and rather common among programmers to swap pointers instead of swapping large data types, at the small price of indirect access to the actual data through the pointers.
However, there is a rather unobvious and quite terrible side effect of using this trick. After the pointer array is sorted, sequential (sorted) access to the actual data throughout the remaining of the program will suffer heavily because of cache misses.
Memory is being accessed randomly because the pointers still point to the unsorted data causing many many cache misses, which will render the program itself slow, although the sort was fast!!.
Multi-threaded qsort is a good idea in principle and easy to implement obviously because qsort itself is recursive. The thing is Multi-threaded qsort is actually just stealing CPU time from other cores that might be busy running other apps, this might slow
down other apps, which might not be ideal for servers. The thing researchers usually try to do is to do the improvement in the algorithm it self.
I Will try to look at your sorting code, lets see if I can compile it.

I updated my iPad 4 to ios 7.0 now app info sheet hangs up in App Store screen-pressing other functions at store doesn't work. Help!

I updated my iPad 4 to ios 7.0 and now app info sheet gets "stuck" in App store screen. When this occurs,selecting other functions (like Update,Purchased,
Search,etc.) does not help. Sometimes, opening Safari or maybe Google ( not sure about Google ) and going to a website gets rid of the problem and
sometimes it doesn't. I forgot to mention that if I select a different app to look at (through Apps Gone Free,or Free App a Day,etc.,that app will show up
on top of the hung-up app and can be made to leave. However, the original app remains.Has this problem happened to anyone else,and was
there a remedy for it ? Also,is there a user who had this problem and then updated to 7.0.1 and had this annoyance go away ? If so, did your device
develop new difficulties because of this update ? Thanks.

Fully close the App Store App. Double tap your home button which will bring the most recently used apps. You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the open app page above. With your finger, swipe the open app page upward and the app will close. It's a good idea to regularly close apps when yout using them.
Tap your home button once to bring back your home screen.
App store should operate normally again when you open it.

Click links & right mouse button copy suddenly stop functioning. Closing Firefox no longer actually closes the browser without restarting the PC. What gives?

Whether in open or private browsing, Firefox suddenly becomes non-functioning, as noted. (Seemingly) closing the browser to run CCleaner, the popup tells me I must shut down Firefox to clear the cache. Only remedy: restart the computer to reset.
Avast is my antivirus; I also run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster and -- manually -- Malwarebytes. The latest quirk: running CCleaner's registry scan, "unassociated" .tif/.msn OpenFilesWith errors issues appear daily.
I've been in the middle of making an online reservation or payment, only to find the print confirmation link unresponsive; ditto for right-click, which produces an empty dropdown window (leaving me with only a select text, Ctrl C option to paste to an email.
Help!

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

HT2497 I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning

I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great. The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks. How do I remedy this, please?

What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
No luck I can show you manual method.

Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 - LOSE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY?

Hi all,
We will see if this gets edited. This is in addition to the original message, as I have no answers, just more questions. I have bought Creative products all my life, Ill leave it up to you in deciding wether I will in the future. If anyone actually knows a way around these problems, please let me know. Im sure I wont have a reply from Creative, but I will live in hope that I get a personally deli'vered set of speakers that adds to my options, not diminishes them!.
Well, I have XP Pro SP2, Audigy DE and just bought Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 to upgrade from my cheaper analog 5.1 speakers that sounded OK and worked fine. I read all about the 5600's and thought - better sound, heaps of connection options etc. Their NOT exactly cheap! The point I would like to make is that I had good 5.1 sound, and now I have better sound AND A WHOLE LOT OF HASSLES IN RETURN FOR SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY. WHAT A MISTAKE.
I have THE ONLY AVAILABLE 5.1 connection from my Sound Card to the 5600 speakers, 3.5 mm 4 pole jack to din to din to speakers. (thats simple isnt it!!!) I have all the latest drivers etc, etc, etc.
NOW ...
1) If Im listening to 5.1 ie DVD, You dont get any system OR ANY OTHER sound? (Thats great for when your on the Net and need to know whats happening, isnt it's)
2) So I figure, well Ill connect the SC to the decoder using analog cables, SORRY, YOU CANT DO that unless you want to lose a channell? (for the sakes of one more center\sub jack or using all the pins in the DIN plug.)
3) Well, Ill set the mixer to do AC3 Decode to try and get back any other sound besides 5.1 Dolby, SORRY, that doent work either ... No matter how you have the decoder\Amp set up, you lose the center channel, ie, no voices?!!
4) Well Ill use the passthrough feature as it explaines in the book, SORRY, IT DOENT WORK EITHER, its meant to pass the Dolby Digital straight through to the respective channels, IT DOESNT? You lose the rear channels. I have tried every combination of everything, and you cant get ANY OTHER SOUND when you are playing Dolby Digital 5.1. so you have a "on board decoder" that NOW DOENST WORK and cant be used?
5) Why buy another 5.1 Dolby decoder when your Sound Card\Software already does it ... well I wanted to be able to use the other anolog Sound Card outputs ... SORRY, YOU CANT. When you enable the digital output only in Surround Mixer, IT DISABLES ALL THE OTHER SC output JACKS as well. GREAT!!! so you cant even feed an anolog signal in to it to try and get the "other" sound back that way? THEIR IS NO WAY!
6) All the controls .. ie... Bass Redirection, AC3 Decode, Sub Volume, Center Volume, Balance and fade controls all DONT WORK at ALL when playing 5., and the bass Redirection works backwards whith standard PCM Sound!?
7) The TEST SPEAKER function in Surround Mixer is now useless except for standard stereo. (no wonder they put a test function on the remote!)?
8) Their is bad initial distortion when you ie, fast forward, start, stop ANY Dolby Digital source?
(10 THIS IS THE BEST ONE - They DONT TELL YOU ANYWHERE about any of this stuff?, Unless Im stupid, I dont feel these speakers are fit for their purpose, is that not a condition in the Trade Practises Act? Creative, please knock on my door! and PLEASE DONT send me an Email with a "reload the drivers" pre-formatted Email, I couldnt bear the added stress!
11) How come you cant plug the Audigy straight in to the 5600 decoder with a mono cable like it says you can with every other Amp\Decoder you can buy, then they could have used the other DIN Plug Pins for anolog Audio as well and at least reatained similtanious multi sound format.
I just dont get it! Why does it have to Dolby Decode a Dolby Decoded Signal?
12) etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc. ....
I could write 5 pages of all the other area where you go BACKWARDS, but I have better things to do with my time, all from a relatively expensive purchase. SO what have I ended up with ... Sure, these speakers sound OK, a bit better than my old $45 speakers, but I end up hearing one type of sound from my computer at a time with NO WAY to remedy it (inexcusable) and a second Dolby Digital decoder that I didnt need in the beginning that removes the most basic functions and I also lose the analog outputs on the sound card. Also the Dolby Digital output is about 40% quieter than "standard" PCM sound! And dont forget, be carefull, dont turn them up too loud, or you might blow the fuse and have to spend a fortune and be without speakers for weeks\months while a Technician has to to replace the fuse at great cost! (thats what they tell you in the book) And dont leave that massi've 2.5 amp power supply on all the time, that will even send you more broke trying to pay the power bill.
I have never bought a product before that removes options and useability, your money is meant to buy you these things, isnt it's? Hopefully Im just an idiot and someone will tell me this nightmare is over. By reading the other posts, I can only assume that any real posts like this are nuked in seconds, so you end up with a whole lot of useless dribble that doesnt help anyone, just wastes more of their time for spending their hard earned money. Creative, you should be ashamed of yourself, especially after such a good past record. I feel for all the stress the majority of posters have and are going through to this day. Please post this message un-edited, as it will save me having to publish it elsewhere. I do not believe it is defamitory, it is just the truth.
VERY DISSAPOINTED ... Rob ... and waiting for the Creative knock on the door!

Can someone explain what Apple did to remedy the battery life in version 1?

My original post got deleted...i guess it violated the TOS for "ranting" and "speculation".
Yes, the 3g iPhone is an amazing piece of technology with MANY features....but I simply cannot use them and expect it to be a dependable functional telephone at the same time. For years, I have had phones that remain on standby possibly for days, make lots of calls, do lots of texting, browse the net...etc...you get the point.
I purchased the iphone for the push feature, the 3G feature, the wifi feature and the ability to use it as a telephone ......dependably. I work on-call and need to have a phone on at all times day or night. I charge my phones overnight but still have NEVER had a phone lose a charge as quickly as the iPhone does.
Apple's solution right now is to turn off all the features that make the phone so attractive in the first place.
I suspect that I am like a lot of others in that I did not buy this PHONE (yes, it is a phone after all and should have adequate battery life to serve as a phone) to selectively and actively take the time in between calling, browsing, etc. to remember to turn wifi on and off, turn my 3G network on and off and then manually push email. This kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there something Apple can do to remedy this situation via software updates or are some of has hoping for a pipe dream that simply will/cannot happen? I know with the first iPhone there were updates that dealt with battery life. Does anybody know what the formaer updates did physically? I hope something can be done with the 3g version, because right now it is not usable and may need to be returned.
Any software/hardware engineer types out there who can advise if this is indeed a fixable thing or should I return the phone? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to keep this thing, but as it is now, it is totally not usable for me.
Thanks for reading. . . .hope there is a solution!
(hope this isn't "too speculative" to be tossed again for violating the TOS)

I suspect this is your first 3G phone and if so, this is a common problem with all 3G phones and a big complaint. Other 3G phones have a swappable battery which having is a requirement. Since the iPhone does not have a swappable battery, an extra wall charger or keeping the wall charger handy is required. Or having a computer nearby with a USB port along with having a vehicle charger.
If you aren't interested in turning off available features to conserve battery when needed or wanted, and you use your iPhone regulary for web and email account access via 3G, the battery won't last the day - which is the same for any 3G smart phone. With no swappable battery, if the other alternatives are not acceptable, you should return it.

Remediation functionality....
