Shiny New Box - Waste of Time

Received my shiny new YouView box this morning and all set to get it going. Phoned my friendly engineer to fit an Ethernet extension this afternoon, but unfortunately did that before I opened the box. Shame they forgot to include remote control with it. Plonkers!!!

Technology, eh. Its come a long way.
In my time we didn't need remote controls, just made you lazy

Timer Padding Needed on New Box

Remember the bad old days of programmes starting too early or finishing too late and thus ruining our recordings? BT kindly put a 'fix' in so's there was some time padding fore and aft to handle this - and it was greatly appreciated. But I was recently the recipient of a new black box and we followed the instructions that came with it, watching all of the recordings we had stored on our old silver box before echanging new for old. And guess what? Our new box misses the beginning of some programmes and the ending of others when we set the timer. Oh dear!

Yeah expect recording hassles if Andy Murray is playing into the evening and BBC1 programmes get shifted onto BBC2, presumably because the Beeb thinks its audience are too dumb to work a remote control. Doesn't usually cause programmes to start early, though, just means you get half an hour of tennis if you were recording "The One Show" or "The One Show" if you're recording the tennis. Unfortunately even Freeview+ boxes can't cope with channel shifts, so this practice is just antisocial and I wish the BBC wouldn't do it. My annual flame about it solicited the following response:
"Thanks for contacting us.
We were sorry to read you were unhappy that the normal BBC One and BBC Two schedules were disrupted due to coverage of ‘Wimbledon 2011’ on 24 June.
We appreciate that late schedule changes are frustrating for our viewers, particularly for those who aren’t interested in tennis. However, as a public service broadcaster, the BBC aims to provide coverage of the most notable events in the sporting calendar, and there is undoubtedly a huge demand for Wimbledon coverage.
We wanted to attract the biggest possible audience to the match between Andy Murray and Ivan Ljubicic, and BBC One has a tradition of showing the biggest news and sporting moments, usually attracting more viewers for the same programme than if shown on BBC Two.
Despite the preparations that our scheduling team make in advance of transmission, occasionally circumstances beyond our control can cause a knock-on effect to our schedules. In this case, the Andy Murray vs. Ivan Ljubicic went on longer than anticipated.
We informed our viewers of the changes in schedule at the earliest opportunity through continuity announcements, and during coverage of Wimbledon. We also included information about the changes on the BBC FAQ website:
http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/television/schedulemurray24june
However, we apologise for any frustration caused.
We’d also like to assure you that we’ve registered your concerns on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's made available to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, programme makers, channel controllers and other senior managers.
The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.
Kind Regards
BBC Audience Services

I'm pretty sure there's a bin in the corner with a Dymo label on it which says "audience log". I don't know how they know they get a bigger audience if they leave a tennis match on BBC1 as I doubt they've done a control experiment. If Andy's on 2nd tomorrow, maybe they should put it on BBC2 for a direct comparison.

Premier Pro CC 2014 crashing, wasting enormous time, not able to load files into previous rev - this is crazy!!!

SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE HELP!!!
I have had no problems editing Red Epic 4K R3D files in the past revisions of Premier CC but ever since creative cloud updated me to the latest Premier CC 2014 (8.0.1) I cant get any serious work done as my system is crashing on startup, or after a few minutes of work, freezing on playback at times, giving me artifacts at times and is just a miserable and frustrating experience I can get NOTHING done with!!!
How could Adobe release a piece of so called professional software like this with these now obvious MAJOR issues so many of us are experiencing, wasting massive time and money for all of its users and how can I get this running properly and stable as our livelihoods depend on this software to work and thats what we pay Adobe for ???
I am currently working on :
Mac OSX 10.9.3
Mac Pro 5,1 Tower
Nvidia GTX 660 2GB Graphics card
Cuda Drivers 6.0.37
I use a SSD swap drive and boot drive of 1/2 TB
I have a 6TB internal Raid for all my media files
I am editing 4K Red R3D files in a 4K timeline that I had no problem editing in previous version of Premier CC ???
If Adobe would have thought before changing the file compatibility with the new Premier Pro CC 2014 where you cant load a file updated to this new version back into Premier Pro CC previous revision or included some kind of import / export to and from previous versions I think we would all at least be operational again right now until Adobe can fix its errors in this new revision but they obviously didn't care to think about compatibility, safeguards for users and just adding more new features with a new file format in a buggy piece of software?
I have wasted days now on trying to solve these problems following other users in this forums suggestions including the following listed below:
• Reinstalled my OS downgrading to 10.9.3 originally thinking it was something OS related since I updated to 10.9.4 around the same time this all started happening
• Uninstalled / reinstalled Premier Pro CC 2014
• I have updated my permissions to read/write on my main user account on the Adobe Library files
• I have updated my permission to read/write on my main user account on my overall drive
• I have reverted my CUDA drivers back one revision as these were recently updated as well
I AM TIRED AND FRUSTRATED WITH ALL OF THIS NONSENSE WHEN I JUST NEED TO EDIT SO CAN SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON ALL OF THIS AND GET ME BACK TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN USE THE SOFTWARE I PAY FOR AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH TO KEEP MY BUSINESS OPERATING AND COMPLETE THE WORK MY CLIENTS ARE WAITING FOR ???
Originally I was very impressed with Adobe CC and Premier CC once I started to work with it after many years of abandoning the use of Premier as a Final Cut Pro 7 user but later decided to try Adobe again when Apple abandoned its pro base with the original Final Cut X. I also did not think this new cloud software model was all that bad over the old boxed method. This was all also before the big Final Cut Pro X update in December 2013/early 2014 where Apple appears to be back to support the real Pros but I have stuck with Adobe CC and Premier CC and been happy since that time. Now I am wondering if this was wise as I have had a number of other issues with other CC Apps, updates, etc and this is starting to feel like Creative Cloud is becoming a big, sloppy, buggy mess to me?

Also...
Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.

O2 Live Chat- waste of time and full of empty promises and lies.

I just wanted to share with you my experience of 'problem resolution / customer care' with o2. This post is directly linked with my as yet unresolved previous post titled 'lack of support from o2 when things go wrong.' Although this is shown as resolved, trust me, it is not !! Below are exerts from the 'Live Chat' sessions that I have had with o2. For fun, you could play spot the offer of a promise, and then try to find where this has been upheld by o2. (to save you wasting your time looking, I'll tell you now, there are none) Thought the matter had been resolved, it looks good, but looks can be deceiving……….o2: I've arranged the credit amount for you.o2: I've forwarded your details to our Support team and filled the Consumer credit request form for you nowo2: And I'm waiving off the amount of cancellation fee £104 for you now.o2: Please be with me while I do this for you now.Me: ??? that is great. I really do appreciate your help. I'll stay connected.o2: Thanks.o2: Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.o2: I can appreciate how frustrating this may be for you.o2: I've done this for you now.02: This will be processed for you in next 3 days and You'll receive the credit in the next bill .o2: Yes, be assured and you can trust me. I've personally arranged this for you now. I hope I've resolved your query to your satisfaction. After seeing that the money has NOT been refunded onto my bill as of yet……………………. o2: Thanks for waiting.o2: You'll receive the refund in next bill.Me: So what does this mean, that you will take 105 from my account on 2nd May and then refund it a month later?o2: Yes.Me: But that is crazy, you have not claimed the money yet, so still have time to apply the credit and thus cancel the bill. Why should you have 105 pounds of my money for one month, when you have already agreed to refund it? This just does not make sense.o2: It's already generated and the request is also been made.o2: I'll request you to call our customer service number for the same. The next month and the next bill, and ………………………… still no refund……….. o2: I'm sorry the refund isn't showing on your account. I understand that this has been stressful for you. Don't worry, I'll ensure that after today, this is sorted for you once and for all.O2: Ken, your details on the previous contract were with phones4u and I'm not able to refund it on that account at the moment. I can see the bill for the termination charge though.o2: Now, would it be fine, if I put the credit on your current account that you've signed up the new contract for?o2: This credit balance can be adjusted with your future bills or I can transfer it to your bank account directly from my end.Me: can you please transfer it directly to my bank from your end please, as it has been outstanding now for over a month, and I don't want it outstanding for longer.o2: Yes, absolutely. I'll do this for you.Me: Thanks, and out of interest why did (previous o2 customer care employee) not do this at the start. Either this or just cancelled the bill that had been created for this amount. This would have saved a lot of time and stress on my behalf in having to chase this now for the third time-albeit I will state again (third customer care employee who I am talking with today) that I know this is not your fault- but I am sure you can understand me being unhappy about this.o2: What I'll do for you is keep an eye on your account from my end and ensure that the credit balance is in your bank account immediately after the next bill is adjusted.o2: Yes, I can understand that this has been stressful for you Ken and I'm sorry that (previous o2 customer care employee) didn't do this for you.o2: I'll try my best to get this transferred to your bank account as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the trouble you've had to go through to get this sorted. Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down.Me: Okay, I'm happy to do that, but do you have a time frame for this being sorted. I appreciate that you are doing your best, but the phrase 'as soon as possible' is rather open ended.o2: I'll email you by the end of day to tell you when the amount will be in your bank account. Would that be fine? Despite the ‘Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down,’ no e-mail and no refund to my bank account so here we go again……………………………… o2: I've checked and can see that we have already credited the £105.50 to your O2 account which is still in the recent charges section of your bill and will reflect on your next bill.Me: okay, but as per my chat with ??? , that will be another month and ??? said that he could / would arrange to have the money paid back into my bank accountMe: He also said that he would send me an e-mail later that day re when the money would be paid back. However, by the looks of it this has not be done, because I certainly have not received any e-mails from ???.o2: I'm sorry, you'll have to call us on 202 free from your phone to get the amount transferred onto your bank account as due to the security reasons, the bank account details can't be shared online.Me: Can you provide me with details as to who I should further my complaint to, and do you have a legal department that I should contact if I proceed with this to the small claims courto2: I'm really sorry ken.o2: I can understand now what you are feeling.o2: But please don't take us wrong. I'll definitely add a note to your account and will see that your complaint is soon resolved.o2: You can email our complaints team [email protected]: Will someone from your complaints dept be able to call me tomorrow. If they can then I will happily speak with them. But I feel that I would be wasting my time to contact / e-mail them.o2: As I'm from an online chat team, I won't be able to arrange a callback from them.o2: But I'll request you to call us on 202 free from your phone and you can speak to a manager and resolve your complaint. The above are exerts only from the live chat sessions thus far, as I would not want to post the whole sessions for fear of crashing the system. I have also removed employee names, as I believe that o2 do this anyway when they edit these posts. Please let me know if you have received poor service also, as I am currently seeking to take this further and one option could be to contact someone such as Watchdog from the BBC, thus others may not end up with o2 and this level of poor service.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I have a 24 month contract with O2, £37 a month for the iPhone 4s. My iPhone 4s was faulty, Apple advised me it was a common hardware problem they were aware of and that I should contact O2. The first advisor I spoke to was very helpful. Agreed to swap my phone for a reconditioned 4s free of charge. I asked if I could pay extra for the iPhone 5 and he agreed to sell me a reconditioned handset for £75 and a doorstep swap for my old phone. At first I thought this was fantastic and said yes. Later on, my partner reminded me that I'm paying £900 for a 2 year contract, and for a phone that is supposed to remain fit for purpose for that period (as per the Sales of Goods Act). I started to think they should have provided me with a brand new phone as the fault was not due to me, but due to a common hardware issue. I became even more annoyed when I realised £75 for a second hand phone on top of what I'm paying in my contract was crazy. I contact O2 and explained this matter at length. No joy. Now - that problem might be a matter of opinion, but what happened next was disasterous. The following day I met with the delivery driver, who handed me a grubby iPhone 5 - no case, no box, not so much as a plastic bag. It was covered in some kind of white dust/powder and dirty with fingerprints. The more I looked at the phone the more I felt I'd been dooped. When I went to charge the phone, I realised my old iphone 4s charger didn't fit. I had no idea I needed a new charger and nobody advised me. When I went to insert my sim card, I realised that wasn't going to fit either. No one had advised me. I didn't even get the fork to open the sim card slide. So there I was, stuck without a phone. I opened the live chat. After explaining myself at length, I got a series of "Please hold while I do my best to try to sort this problem for you now" and loads of other cheesey meaningless lines. By this stage I was furious. When the person came back to talk to me, he advised I borrow a friend's charger to use my phone. I explained there was no one and I needed to use my phone that night. I also explained about the sim card, and the dirty phone and lack of box etc. They kept fobbing me off and telling me they would send me a charger, totally ignoring the fact this transaction was unacceptable. I got nowhere, so I hung up. I went to the O2 store to get a nano sim. I explained the situation to the advisor, and he told me to go home and use the Swap My Sim page. Given that I'd explained the entire situation to him, I expected everything would be ok. No. Turned out I needed my old phone and old sim to do this. Back to the live chat. I explained the whole situation to the new advisor and hoped for the best. I went round in circles with him for about half an hour before he got the gist of my issue. That seems to be the general vibe from live chat - round and round in circles, nobody listenting properly and cheesy lines like "my heartiest thanks". My whole situation has made me think I'll leave O2 when my contract expires. Better with a tin can and a string.

Blackberry desktop software 7 is a waste of time - disappointing!!!

I wish I had not accepted the option to update my desptop software from v6 to v7. I have since been unable to synchronize and have been through the re-installation process several times without success. The software kept looking for 'Blackberry desktop software.msi' under c:\Windows\installer\ folder. I am now fed up!! What a waste of time, this is not good for business.
Can any tell me where I can get the most up-to-date version 6 from a BB site? I would like to revert back to a working software.

Return it and get your money back. Virgin does not offer official unlocking, thus there's no way to get the phone officially unlocked for you to use it.
Sorry, but you wasted your money.

Waste of time

Unfortunately the christmas yule tides have started poorly for me as I have just been introduced to the MSI 865 PE Neo2 motherboard.
System specs :
AOpen HX08
quoted motherboard
Intel P4 2.6 @800
2x 512Mb memory modules (pmi)
36Gb SATA Raptor
MSI GF4 MX440 8xAGP
LG 52 CD & LG 52x24x52 CDRW
Firstly let me say that I purchased this board as an upgrade for an administrators machine purely by an order form. We currently have over 30 MSI 6368 and 30 MSI 6714 boards which have not skipped a beat, so I thought purchasing an MSI board for a high end user would be an easy choice.
After sitting through memory crashes during installs, random blue screens, resets and LAN problems I've simply given up on this absolutely loathsome board.
I thought I was purchasing quality seeing as how this was 'not' a budget board, but it seems that MSI expect EVERY user who's looking to buy their product to firstly scour the internet for compatability and hardware issues which may, or may not affect them. This is a joke. Most simple problems on computers can and are fixed by changing one or two settings, or altering the setup of the machine slightly. But having to guess what sort of settings your hardware 'may' like in order to run, or trying to randommly pick a voltage which 'might' give you 20 minutes of stable computer usage is just appauling. If I wanted 'out of the box' compatability issues I would have bought a compaq or HP server .. at least they're up front in saying 'put in something non-propietry and your gonna pay'.
I don't have time to tweak and poke around with machines at work (hey I do at home but thats another story), and dare I say that there are MANY other users out there who don't have the inclination to do that either. To that extent however I take my hat off to all the people on this forum who HAVE bothered to spend the time, your doing a VERY good job.
What I was after was something to provide good performance and could be set up and optimised efficiently. Heck if it had worked well I'm sure I would have purchased a damn site more of them for my workplace, but as it stands I've wasted my time and my companies time messing around with issues which myself as well as many other users should never have been introduced to.
This is simply POOR ..
If I'd purchased a cheaper board the machine would be installed and working by now, but instead I paid more money and received less quality. No wonder the computer industry is going backwards.

Same as Danny, my 865PE Neo2 is not only stable in normal conditions, but also just as perfect when it's being o/c'ed. If you look into ASUS/Abit/Gigabyte etc forums, you'll see that they have their own share of problems too. I hope you understand well.
Likewise Danny have mentioned also, please kindly post the specs of the system that you are encountering problem with.
P.S: Though I've to admit that it's troublesome to surf the net and understand the board well, but I'm sure that many things needs researching to get to a decision made. At least MSI has taken measures by testing the boards with the different types of RAMs and show which are the compatible ones.

Failed recordings on a new box

I got a new box a fortnight ago and it's started to fail to record a variety of programmes. They're all on major channels such as Channel 5 and BBC1 (which I can watch with good signal any time) and sometimes they record, other times they don't, which suggests it's not a problem with signal. I'm never recording two programmes at once and my box still has 98% available.
Any ideas? It's really frustrating to have to hunt down my favourite programmes on demand when they fail to save the first time round

Unfotunately Youview boxes don't display a reason that a recording failed ... they either have no entry , a parial recording setting or a failed recording setting in the My View list of recorded programms. There are several scenarios whereby a recording could fail so unfortunately there could be many causes.
Which box do you have - the older larger DTR1000 or the newer smaller DTR2100 ?
First check that you have the latest software on your box.
Second how are your falied recordings showing in My view - are they listed as failed or simply not there ?
Are the failures all occuring when the box is in standby - if so is the box in High or Low ECo setting - if its in Hi ECo setting in standby do you get any improvement when switching to low ECO mode.

Getting OEM working after moving the DB to new box.

Greetings All,
I am testing moving a database to a new box.
I installed Oracle 11gR2 Enterprise Edition on the new box and created a new DB called DEV01. The same name as the DB I am moving. When I was building the new DB I also increased the memory allocations (there is more RAM on the new box).
I then backed up to trace the spfile and control file on both the new (target) box and source box.
I modified the pfile and create control file (for the new box) accordingly for the multiple datafiles and maintained the new increased memory allocations.
I shutdown the new DB (target) and deleted all of the datafiles, spfiles, control files, redo, temp files. I retained the file structure.
I shutdown the source DB and copied the datafiles to the new box.
I then started nomount the new DB (target).
I created a new spfile from the pfile I modified above for the new box.
I created new control files from the modified file (mentioned above) on the new box.
I then shutdown and restarted the new DB so the new SPFILE and new controlfile would be used.
The relocated DB is fine, all schemas and data is there.
Basically I restored a DB on a new box using a cold backup without the SPFILE and CONTROL files, I recreated the SPFILE and CONTROL files.
Now my question:
Is there a better way to get the OEM functioning without going thru the process of using the emca with the –repos recreate parameter? I believe this will drop and recreate the SYSMAN account/schema. I’d like to avoid this because I have many jobs scheduled. If I were to recreate the SYSMAN I will lose all of the jobs.
Am I correct?
How do I get the OEM functioning on the new box?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

Thanks for your response.
When I enter the emctl command as you suggested to check current settings the response is as if I requested help.
I also submitted the same emctl commad on my production system and got the same result.
So I then tried “emctl status dbconsole” and got the response below
C:\Users\Administrator>emctl status dbconsole

So I then submitted emctl start dbconsole and got the response below:

At one point in time (last week, 2 days ago) I tried using emctl with the recreate option, It seemed to hang so I canceled it. The SYSMAN schema was still there afterwards, although the account was locked.
At this point it seems that I really messed things up. Fortunately this was a test.
Any suggestions regarding how to set things right at this point?
Thanks again,

X1 Platform is a waste of time

I do not see the logic with supporting a platform that does not work properly. This so-called "X1 Platform" is nothing but a waste of time and very glitchy. These Comcast people really need to know what they are doing and make this work. I am paying too much for poor service and if need be I will not pay any more money to Comcast until my poorly cinducted service is fixed. Not worth the headache. If anyone here has the same issues please do your self a favor and switch to another company....you'll be glad you did.

Picture freezing is CLASSIC incoming signal issues. I am 98% sure you have fixable issues. You just need a knowledgeable and experienced tech. When you call Comcast request "in house labor" so they don't send a subcontractor.
X1 can and does work very well. Mine has been trouble free for almost two years now.
angryagain wrote:
The NFL channel is the only channel (which I am paying extra money for) that is malfunctioning. All my other channels are working fine without any issues at all. Channel 246 on my X1 Platform box is the only channel not working properly. It breaks up a lot and freezes. THe audio is also broken up and freezes. During these moments on a constant basis, a error message will appear and then it redirects me to the next channel. This is getting to be quite annoying and hopefully Comcast will address the issue.

Serious battery issues, apple support waste of time and money!

My Mac Book Pro 17" has a serious battery issue it holds a charge for a hour or less, and does not always charge. Telephone apple support and all they say is take it to one of there shops to get it tested that will cost me about £40 in train fare and take a day at least. Ive had the Mac since September 2011 i never started using it until late December 2011. A 3 year warranty for what!!!!! And it overheats..... Apple good bye your becoming worse the Microsoft your just making money out of constant yearly updates/releases of your products, Updates which becoming boring!

The thing is you pay for a warranty and unless you live close to a Authrorised test centre etc, then it cost you more in time and money for travel!
I'm really not clear on what you're asking Apple to do. You don't have to go to an Apple store, you can go to any Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). Your warranty is still completely valid. You can find them here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
The title of your thread says Apple support is a waste of time and money. What would have preferred that they do? If you are too far from an Apple store or AASP, you can let them know that and they will usually send you out a box so you can ship your machine back to them so they can check it out. Of course you'll be completely without your machine during that time.
You're comment contains quite a bit of bashing for something which Apple will clearly resolve. Unfortunately, if you live in a remote area where there are no Apple stores or AASPs and you dont' want to send it in, there isn't anything anyone can do to help you.

How to select One Check Box at a time

Dear All
I have 10 records in details blok and also I have 10 check boxes .
I want user can only check one check box at a time .
For example If first record I have checked and i am trying to check the last record then the first record UNCHECKED and the last record will checked .
Like how redio buttons work ..
How can i do that ..?
I have done like this :-
1st I have declare a global variable in PRE_FORM :GLOBAL.CNT := 'N';
Then
WHEN-CHECKBOX-CHANGED trigger
IF CHECKBOX_CHECKED(EMP.CHK') THEN
    IF :GLOBAL.CNT != N THEN
        :EMP.CHK := Null
   HERE what to write ???
        RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    ELSE
        :GLOBAL.CNT := Y;
    END IF;
ELSE
    :GLOBAL.CNT := N;
END IF;Edited by: LuKKa on Aug 29, 2012 1:12 PM
Edited by: LuKKa on Aug 29, 2012 1:13 PM

LuKKa,
An easier method would be to use a Calculated Field to summarize the value of your CHECKBOX Item. For example, add a non-table item (call it SUM_CHECKED) to your detail block and do not assign it to canvas - so it will not be displayed. Then set the following properties of the SIM_CHECKED item:
Database Item = No
Calculation Mode = Summary
Summary Function = Sum
Summarized Block = <YOUR DETAIL BLOCK>
Summarized Item = <YOUR CHECKBOX ITEM>
Next, you will need to change your Detail Block property Query All Records to YES (this is required for the Calulated Item).
Now, make sure your checkbox is data type NUMBER and has the following minimum properties set:
Data Type = Number
Maximum Length = 1
Initial Value = 0
Value when Checked = 1
Value when Unchecked = 0
Check Box Mapping of Other Values = Not Allowed or Unchecked
Now, in your Checkbox Item's When-Checkbox-Changed trigger add code similar to this:
IF ( CHECKBOX_CHECKED('YOUR_DETAIL_BLOCK.YOUR_CHECKBOX_ITEM') ) THEN
   IF ( :YOUR_DETAIL_BLOCK.SUM_CHECKED > 1 ) THEN
   --Reset the checkbox
   :YOUR_DETAIL_BLOCK.YOUR_CHECKBOX_ITEM := NULL;
   MESSAGE('You can only check one item.');
   Message(' ');
   RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
   END IF;
END IF;I have confirmed this method works and it is more efficient than looping through your records to see if other checkboxes are checked.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

ITunes Match; a waste of time for mobile devices and the impatient

I recently subscribed to itunes match, aside from being able to upgrade a portion of my lower bitrate files, I am extremely dissapointed (as are many others I've read about having the same issues.)
First, getting all of my music on the server was a nightmare. I spent way more time then I'd like to admit tricking iTunes into accepting my data. Quite a bit of my library is in fact available for purchase in the itunes store, but only portions of most of the albums actually matched - the remaining portions had to upload. Fine, I'm okay with that aside from not being able to upgrade albums in their entirety, now I have some tracks at 256, others in the same album at 128 or whatever - I decided to selectively chose alums/tracks that I really cared about or didn't feel like re importing from disc in a few cases. Fine.. annoying, but not a total deal breaker.
I was finally able to figure out how (without apples help btw.. they didn't know this procedure when I spent an hour or so on the chat, screen sharing with a "specialisdt") to trick itunes into uploadeing all "waiting" tracks by doing the AAC conversion myself manually and then replacing the compressed data locally with apple lossless files (both m4a files) while retainging the compressed data on the cloud. fine.. I enjoy trouble shooting and problem solving, I was actually psyched to figure it out and be able to retain my high quality files locally without having doubles or redundant data in an archive elsewhere not within the iTunes data base. Fine. apple lossless is no wav, aiff, but I can compramise also in order to imbed meta data which wav is not able to do.
What I want is access to my entire library and to be able to either stream songs over wifi or 4g and/or download locally for when I'm off network in the boonies, etc. *side note: don't anyone tell me this isn't a streaming service and that it only downloads to the device because it in fact does... it's just intollerably slow more often than not. Now I can deal with that, that is either my cellular provider throttling me, or it's Apple's servers. I will assume a bit of both. also, don't tell me that matched content downloads faster then uploaded content.. that's BS, I've run the tests on multiple devices and there is no consitacy to it.. it all depends on the traffic on iCloud servers, wireless towers and size of the file/leanght of track, etc. Fine.
I've run the speed test, I've rebooted divices. I've reset/confirmed/adjusted network setting.. I've done most of what I could do on my end as a user. I can't seemlessly stream data on my unlimmited data plan from at&t from apple.. fine.. I get it.. regarless of my slow streaming issues - it's a first world problem.. whatever, I can deal.
My biggest gripe is that when I download either matched songs or uploaded content, it's is painfully slow to do so.. it's a waste of time.. manging the library on mobile devices takes forward thought and plenty of patience.. I might as well do this at home tethered to my desktop - convert to 128 to save space and accept my choices and deal with what I have loacally for the time when I'm out and about. Now whren I buy something from apple over the 4g network or even the edge network,... &*^% downloads lickity split.. *** apple .. fine, it's big business.. I get it.. I for one would have paid 100 bucks a year if this service worked as advertised.. maybe more.,.. it's awesome in theory, but is not realy for the limelight even still 2 years after the release.. hopefully it'll get better soon...
Now this works great in my home over laptop, apple tv, but over ipad and iphone.. not so much.. actually working fine right now as long as I don't change the track abruptly... figures after this long rant.... once I continue on my day I'm sure it'll go back to being a pain.
I'm going to use it at home, maybe on the run very ocasionally.. I guess that's what Apple thought we'd want, but they have been so misleading with this, and so abscent with trouble shooting an technical support that I've given up.. if I wasn't so in love with thier UI's and hardware (for the most part) I'd walk in time since steve jobs is now gone.
unless you want to wrestle with it for hours and hours, or just want to upgrade your low quality files and bounce.. don't waste your time people.. ^$^$ all that noise
It's too bad Samsung assinated Steve Jobs.. he'd never let this service be released uptil it was ready. in the future I may have to go to the dark side and get a galaxy tab and smart phone, a Dell.. window vista.. naaaa just kidding. *** apple.. p,lease sort your ^$%&7 out.
Done and done.
please fix this Apple, I want to love iTunes match, I really do.

Firstly, this is a user-to-user forum: you're not talking to Apple here.
Just saying it 'doesn't work' doesn't make it possible to offer any cogent suggestion - one would need a lot more detail on what you've tried and what the result have been - including your operating system details. However if the thing is actually faulty - this is rare, it works fine for most people, but it can happen - then plainly you need to contact the people you bought it from, or take it into an Apple Store if you can, and ask for a replacement or repair.

ITunes will not load--says I need new version of Quick Time

I've used iTunes for a year and downloaded the new software 7.01--it will not run, says I need to install new version of Quick time. I removed all versions of iTunes off my computer and reinstalled iTunes with same result--Need to install new version of Quick Time. I did this and Quick time said--Can't install because a more current version of Quick time is already installed. Catch 22? Is this a do loop of apple frustration or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
iTunes used to work great, I'm very disappointed in apple right now.

i can take pictures off my phone but thats it, i have some nice programs for pictures and art work and cant get them back on my phone to send them to friends and family. Also have some OLD pictures of Family on this Computer that was given to me i want to get off of it and send out but i can dragg and dropp from phone to computer but i cant drag and drop onto phone from computer and there the same jpg files, sad. i like my iphone5 and want another one but i might have to change when it time to upgrade , i dont want to, but i cant afford internet let alone a mac or pc, this one was given to me, was lucky to have saved to get the phone and service on a family plan, i have unlimited internet on phone that is my life source for internet, wish io could afford both phone and internet, its phone or internet, and with phone i have both in a way
