SDN PI Forum in "Santa" mode for next 5 days

In spite of being a bit late about it, I would still try to spend some time with the neglected threads on
PI forums and close them before the commencement of the New Year. The work could be questionable but
I would try to be as fair as possible.
Once I saw my colleague (working in Enterprise Portal) post a query on SDN....he wrote the query and clicked Post Message....he was not allowed to do so....warning message was displayed you have more than 10 open threads
Now instead of the moderators initiating a force-closure of the threads, cant we implement a similar logic for Process Integration Forum? This may ensure that the thread-owner closes it giving a proper solution.
Best Wishes to the community for the year 2010!
Regards,
Abhishek.

Hi Abhishek,
he was not allowed to do so....warning message was displayed you have more than 10 open threads
Just to clarify, this logic is already in place for all the Forums since some time and it has served its purpose to some extent. Even then you might have already noticed lot of ignored threads. It's not always that a solution seeker log on to SDN just for assigning the points and closing the threads.
If you have noticed, the aim of this thread doesn't really target all those who have their questions open, rather those who have contributed genuinely but couldn't get into the Active Contributors list because of few lazy/extremely busy posters.
Regards,
Prateek

SDN Security Forum in "Santa" mode for next 10 days

Dear gurus,
In an attempt to close some threads neglected by the OP's this year and achieve SDN's goals with regards to ponits (see the Welcome thread about the UN food program and other donations made by SAP based on annual contributions) I will be combing through selected threads from the current year and closing them as moderator.
It will be impossible to do a perfect and complete job of this, but I will try my best to be fair and concentrate on those who have contributed valueable inputs of information but not been recognized appropriately.
Feel welcome to post links to threads which you feel are candidates for me to take a look into, or even add to the "FAQ & Memorable threads" sticky. You can also contact me via my Business Card details.
Also please close your own threads and do not dump them all to the top again unless there is a good reason to comment further (the comment field is not mandatory!)
Cheers and merry christmas to all,
Julius

Dear Julius,
I find this procedure objectionable for three reasons:
The community on SDN has failed to achieve its goals. But achieved they must be!! So now the leaders of said community will force the accomplishment of what the community could or would not ... by expressing the approval of the site owner over the community. How does that sound in your ears?
I always understood these forums to be exchange platforms for experts. I cannot see where judgment of 'contributed valueable inputs of information but not been recognized appropriately' comes into that picture. That sounds more like a consolation gift on a beauty contest.
Putting a 'Santa' - cloak around it only makes the whole affair even more dubious.
Personally, I feel offended.
Cheers,
Mylène

ETA: yet another argument: by extending your role from 'moderator' to 'jury' you are crossing an invisible border. future searchers will no longer know who closed/assigned rewards to a thread: was it the OP or one of the "staff"? that leaves at least a trace of doubt.
Having said that: merry Christmas, everybody and enjoy the holidays.

Online order cut off times for next day delivery

what is the latest time I can order off your web site for next day delivery?thanks

For all waiting on your preorders- I preordered mine Sept. 5th about 5 hours after the announcement (engraved, standard shipping). It was shipped Sept. 19th and was delivered to my house at 10am today (Sept. 20th), despite having an estimated delivery date of Sept. 21st. As noted in another post, they seem to be coming out of Kunshan, China and then Shanghai and Anchorage, Alaska. Mine might have arrived a day early because Indianapolis is a major FedEx hub and there is a direct flight from Anchorage to Indy. Suspect many will get their Touch models today and tomorrow.

Ibooks in waiting mode for two days when trying to update?

Cutoff time to order for next day delivery?

Does anyone know the latest time possible to place an order with overnight shipping to receive it the next day? What about for Saturday delivery?
Thanks

Next day cut off is 3:30pm. 4:30pm However that does not include Saturday delivery. It is the next BUSINESS day.
jakedjohnson No you can not pick up at FedEx until there has been one attempt to deliver.

Windows 8.1 update has been stuck in "Preparing to install" mode for 3 days now and I cannot stop it

My Windows 8.1 update has been showing "Preparing to install..." for 3 days now. When I click "Stop installation" it says I need to provide administrator permission and doesn't have any way for me to provide this. My account is the administrator
account for my laptop.
I have already seen a similar thread that said to open a command prompt with admin privileges and type "slmgr -skms", but the solution did NOT work. Basically, it said the usage was incorrect and popped up 5 windows of information that I didn't
know how to interpret (yes, I tried to provide the options it wanted, but they were incorrect).
Any advice would be appreciated!

Ah! This did the trick! Thanks!
In case anyone else has this problem, on Windows 8.1 I had to open up the Control Panel, then type "troubleshooter" in the search box. I clicked "Troubleshooting" and then found "Fix problems with Windows Update" under the System and Security section.

I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
Thanks

Just FYI - the situation is resolved. I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works. I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

ICal keep repeating alarms for next day's events, birthdays, etc.

Default is set to notify me at 9AM the day before an event (e.g., birthday). On the day before, the alarm keeps coming up. I "Close" it. It comes up again and again and again all day.

It would be great if it was included in the native video app... especially if it supported multiple subtitle formats (srt, sub, etc).
Currently I use MovieSrtPlayer which can be found in AppWorld for $1.99. It allows you to adjust the font style, size, position, timing and colour of the font. You can and even adjust the zoom level of the video and add a dark, translucent area behind the font area to make them more visible. Currently it only supports the srt format... as the name of the app suggests.

Anyone get their Pre-Order that was scheduled for Next Day Delivery?

I'm just curious since a good amount shipped out yesterday and then they had the typhoon in Shanghi where the Fed Ex Depot is at.

For all waiting on your preorders- I preordered mine Sept. 5th about 5 hours after the announcement (engraved, standard shipping). It was shipped Sept. 19th and was delivered to my house at 10am today (Sept. 20th), despite having an estimated delivery date of Sept. 21st.

IPad1 cannot use iOS6, can it? If cannot, so what is the iPad1 use for next days?

Dear Apple,
What about the future of iPad1?

It should still do everything it did when you bought it.
Have you upgraded to the latest version of iOS 5?
Your iPad 1 will not stop working just because it cannot
be upgraded to iOS 6.

Anyone tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?

Has anyone here tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?
Has anyone tried it - but still not gotten one?
Right now I have my iPhone 5 ordered online through Apple.   It's not expected for a few more weeks, alas.
Two days after I placed that order , Apple announced that you could order online after 10pm for next day pickup at a retail store.
I called Apple to ask if I could simply "convert" my existing order to a next day pickup.
I was told that I'd have to (1) cancel the online order (2) maybe wait a day for my upgrade-pricing eligibility to reset and THEN (3) place the order online after 10pm.
BUT - she also added that even the next-day-pickup orders were subject to stores' inventory.
So, I called my local store to ask about availability.   Rather than telling me anything about their current inventory, the gal there just repeated that I should order online after 10pm.
Of course, the entire point of my doing this would be to reduce my wait time (not roll the dice on MAYBE reducing my wait time.)
Yet apparently my only option is to "step out of line" with my existing online order before I can even see how long the line is for in-store pickup.
If it turns out I'll have to keep trying again every night after 10pm in the HOPE that maybe this time there'll be an iPhone 5 available for the next day, then I go from my current 2-3 week wait to a god-only-knows-how-long wait, with nightly online order attempts.
There's no way for me to adequately express my distaste for this catch-22 without using verboten language.
If anyone has an idea how I can TRY the next-day-pickup trick WITHOUT first squandering the 2 weeks I've already been in the online queue - please let me know.

i have the same dilema brian. Does anybody know how many reservations there are a day?
What are the odds of getting a space?
I might as well enter the x factor phone in and hope i win!!! f'ing joke.
I'm going to phone local store and ask how many iphones are sold each day.
Meanwhile wait 4 weeks for online order. Ha!

Not giving paid for next business day service

Hi Has anybody got a number I can phone in the uk for customer complaints? My nine month old thinkpad screen went. Company paid for extra next business day service for repairs. At first they said they didn't have a replacement and it would take an unknown amount of time to find one. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they found one.Next business day then became two days later because they sent out requests to all engineers by 3pm. I had the contract in front of me saying they had to receive the call by 4pm. They said sorry there is nothing they could do about it. Why bother paying for next day - poor service for a premium price.

Hello MacLux,
I was disappointed to read that your order wasn't processing in line with the communications you'd received. I apologize for any inconvenience to you.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed, I was able to locate your order. I note that your order was cancelled shortly after you posted your message. It also seems that a new order was placed early this morning. For the new order, the shipment is currently awaiting pickup from our warehouse by the carrier.
If you have questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm very grateful that you wrote to us.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Starting with Flash Player 11.3, a protected mode was added as a new security enhancement for Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher. This security enhancement is designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files). For additional details on this feature, please see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
After reviewing this FAQ, we'd appreciate if you would take a minute to let us know if it helped. There is a link to a two question survey at the bottom of the page.
While we believe this feature is fully tested and reliable, if you encounter issues with Firefox we recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
Problem: Flash content does not appear, YouTube display errors such as "An error occurred. Please try again later.", or Flash video will not function properly.
Solution: If RealPlayer is installed on your system, please disable the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
Click OK and close RealPlayer
Restart Firefox
If you are viewing this page in Firefox and Flash Player is not working, please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
Problem: RealPlayer is not installed, Flash Player crashes in Firefox
Solution:
Troubleshoot Extensions and Add-Ons by launching Firefox in Safe Mode
1. Exit Firefox
2. Click Start > Run
3. Type the following then press [Enter]:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click Continue in Safe Mode
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, please try to isolate it down to an individual plug-in.
1. Exit Firefox
2. Re-launch Firefox
3. Click Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions
4. Click Disable on all of your extensions
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem, while enabling each extension until you can reproduce the issue
If the issue persists in Safe-Mode, please continue with the steps below:
Some users have indicated that random crashing stops when clearing their Firefox profile. This step will allow you to temporarily test with a clean set of Firefox preferences, without losing your preferences.
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [Enter]: firefox.exe -p
Click Create Profile
Click Next
In the Enter new profile name dialog, type "Test"
Click Finish
Select Test and click Start Firefox
Use Firefox as normal. If the problem goes away, clearing your Firefox preferences, or migrating the important settings (bookmarks, etc) to a clean Profile may be a good permanent solution.
If the problem persists, switch back to your old profile by doing the following:
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [enter]:firefox.exe –p
Choose your old account (typically "default")
Click Start Firefox
Solution: Try a clean Windows profile (You must be an Administrator to complete this step. If your user account is not an admin type, skip to the next section for instructions on reporting a bug.) Creating a new Windows user will rule out any account-specific preferences that may be enabled on your system.
Create a user account in Vista
Create a user account in Windows 7
Use Flash Player normally. If the problem goes away, this indicates a compatibility problem, either with software you have installed or with preferences set on your account.
Reporting a bug:
Please file bugs at bugbase.adobe.com.
Choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product
Choose "Browser Integration" as the product area
Please provide as much information as possible with what you were doing before the crash and an exact URL where the crash occurred.
If available, please attach your Firefox crash logs to the bug using the Attachments field.
Show hidden files and folders. For more details, see the instructions for the operating system that you use: Vista and Windows 7.
Crash logs are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\
Logs will be located in either the pending or submitted folder, depending on whether or not you submitted the crash report to Mozilla.
Last resort
Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved.
To revert to a previous version of Flash Player, please see this FAQ: How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.
Hopefully this FAQ helped you. Please let us know by taking a minute to fill out this simple survey.
Did this FAQ help?

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Wishlist for Next Belle Update

I absolutely love my Nokia 701 running Belle! And while it may be the best phone I've ever had, I'd really like to see the improvements listed below as part of a future software update.
1. Improved Keyboard/Predictive Text
It's hard to type like a speed demon on this keyboard. The reason is predictive text automatically guesses the word you are trying to type - often times incorrectly. You can always turn it off, but that can cause problems as well. It would be a huge help if predictive text works the way it does in other phone OS's. They give you a choice of 4 to 5 words that the word you are typing could possibly be. And you choose which one you want, instead of the phone guessing for you. I find typing to be faster and more accurate when using such a system.
2. Improved Wifi Stability
Others have mentioned this issue on different Belle handsets, so I'm leaning toward this being a software issue. Wifi reception is poor on my Nokia 701 Belle when compared to my old E71 or N8. Frequent disconnects are the norm, even with powersave disabled.
3. Wifi Indicator in Status Bar
The current indicator has 2 visual settings - On and Off. It would be helpful if one could see the signal strength right in the status bar, without having to open the notification area and clicking on wifi connections.
4. Improved E-mail Client
- With the ability to choose which IMAP folder you want sent mail, junk, trash etc to sync to. Right now when I send mail, it automatically goes into the phone's Sent folder, instead of the Sent folder on the IMAP server. To add to the inconvenience, there is no way to move items in that Sent folder of your phone directly into the proper one on the server. The only workaround I've found is to BCC myself, then move that BCC'ed email into the proper Sent folder on the server. That's way too many steps.
- Sent mail to show the recipient, instead of just the sender. What good is it to show the sender anyway? I know who is sending the mail...ME
- The ability to "view" attachments. This isn't the same as downloading and opening attachments. Iphone's, Android's and even Symbian's own Mobile Documents app all have the ability to view an attachment without downloading the complete file. It's quicker and I find it renders the attachment more accurately.
-The ability to have more than one Exchange ActiveSync account for supporting multiple calendars.
5. Expired Certificate's
Please please please find a solution for this. The workaround of setting the phone back to an older date no longer works. Checking "all" under Software Installation & turning off the online certificate check does nothing to help either.
6. Calendar Widget
Needs more than just your next upcoming event. At least 3 or more upcoming events would be very helpful.
7. Profiles Widget
To activate any new profile settings you created, you have to click the widget, then click All Profile Settings, then click the profile you want, then click Activate, then back out of it. That's 5 clicks for something that should only take 2. It would be much easier if the profile you created was in the same list as the four default profiles that come with the phone.

Ok, let's try to keep this thread alive.
Updated my C7-00 to belle over a week ago now, and toying with it I'm now writing my wishlist under this thread also. And will do the same probably to many other threads until I see some "official" thread started by Nokia's employees where they actually want to hear what we would like belle to be. And comment in there.
And here's a free advice to Nokia staff, even I really hate to tell someone how to do they job.
Somebody should take a pen and punch of paper. Browse this forum and whenever see a wish for feature, write it down and mark every support for it. Same as if some feature is wished to be gone. When done, make a list of all the features supported/unsupported in konsensus, and even those that started a debate.
Then, take the list to R&D with instructions to make wanted features happen, to ditch unwanted features and make controversial features optional. Easy as a pie.
My humble list:
- Different size widgets. Clock, calendar, email etc.
- Bookmarks available as a shortcut on homescreen
- "Mosaic" view for homescreens, so we can go to directly desired homescreen and not have to swipe through all the homescreens between. Minimize all futile work.
- Automated and adjustable online mode for homescreen widgets. Or atleast manual version which we had in Anna. I could let widgets to keep connections active all the time, or manually put off the mobile data and wifi, but I shouldn't have to do that and I don't want to do that. Because I would have to put them on again for every time I want to surf the net. Having to do that, it only misses the ancient tone of 56k modem dialing tone to make the feel of regression perfect.
- When I exit email-app, it really closes, and not stay on in the background. I don't need email-app to stay on in the background, 'cause I use the email-widget to check my mail. Now, when entering to any received mail and then moving it to a folder or deleting it throws me back to homescreen and leaves the email-app on. And I have enter it again to shut it off, or close it through open application menu.
Plus every other succestion made by others that would increase my possibilities to modify, customize, adjust and personalize my phone by my needs and desire.
I really like the new smoothness of my phone. Occasional freezes which I had with Anna are practically gone so improvements there. Ability to place shortcuts and widgets more freely on homescreens is a very wellcome feature. Fact that widgets CAN come in many sizes is a big improvement.
