Sorry everyone, I've come to the conclusion that it's me-

Every time I log into the forums everything seems to be flying again and I think "Hooray! They've fixed it. Links are working, and quickly!"
Then I scan around for a bit, have a look here to see what's going on, go back to the iBook forum, maybe post a reply or two, then…
…m…o… l… a… s… s… e… s…!
So I surf around a bit, put the iBook to sleep, go and mow the grass, wonder how much I'd get for the Yorkshire Terrier on eBay, (and the two aren't unconnected, if you think about it), come back in, make a cup of tea and settle down to scan the forums again. (Well it is Sunday)
Yay! Fixed again!
Not.
Or is it?
So I start to think again. (Yes, three times in one day…)
"It must have been working OK before before I got back, 'cos it worked fine when I logged on. And now it's not."
"It must be me"
Sorry everyone…
Adrian

~Bee,
Please repeat after me:
"There is nothing wrong with the servers. This is a figment of my imagination."
Discussions site inaccessibility might be a closely-held Corporate secret, so perhaps it's best to not let anyone think that something might be wrong, either with the Site's operation or with the manner in which the Membership continues to be left stumbling in the dark, with many wondering if the problem is on their end as they "tinker" with Safari, download third-party browsers, and generally mess with the innards of their operating systems, looking for a fix to a problem which apparently does not exist anywhere.
If something really were wrong, the Company's engineers would surely have the addressed it over the past several months, or would have at least found the time to create a standard notification that the Discussions are temporarily unavailable. What the Members face virtually every day now certainly must be user error because it's inconceivable that a top-notch organization would just ignore thousands of people who might have difficulty accessing the Site every day. After all, this is not a Dell forum. It is an integral part of the Cavalry!

  • I have come to the conclusion that all applets are dysfunctional...

    So yeah, I made my applet, and it is supposed to move an object by giving it a velocity in pixels per millisecond, and starting an animation loop, which moves it for 5 seconds.
    So I do this, and everything is working fine after about an hour of coding. Then I decide to touch up my sprite image. I wanted to make it transparent, so I open up Photoshop, and do that. Now it doesn't work. Before I edited the image, the object would move to the edge of the screen, the game would check the boundary, and then reverse the velocity, so it stayed on screen. Now, when you tell the object to move, I can see that the x and y coordinates are changing, but the thing doesn't change on screen.
    The applet itself is behaving very weird:
    http://img62.exs.cx/img62/7140/whatswronghere9ur.gif
    In the first frames, the applet loads up like normal, but there is supposed to be a button there, which no longer shows up.
    In the second and third one, it shows that if you cover any part of the applet, it turns white, and just dissapears.
    In the 4th one is what happens when you click where the throw button is supposed to be. What prints to the console are the x and y coordinates. So you can see the arrow is just supposed to move back and forth.
    I just can't seem to understand why this worked intially but when I changed the image(not the path, I just opened it up and deleted the white background), the thing stopped working. I put everything back to normal, and it still won't work.
    The main portion for the code of the applet is this:
    http://www.freewebs.com/nickv360/problem/Physics.java
    Here are the other classes(Which I didn't write BTW, so no credit to me for them)
    http://www.freewebs.com/nickv360/problem/Sprite.java
    http://www.freewebs.com/nickv360/problem/Animation.java
    Those two classes along with the AnimationLoop algorithm were taken from a book, so yeah.
    Can anyone tell me what happened here? (ALSO I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so if it's not, just point me in the right direction).

    The only thing that changed was the size of the
    image. I made it a bit smaller. But after seeing
    that it didn't work, I changedthe image size back,
    with no luck however. I am using the java sdk1.5 ,
    the latest one. I find it humorous that you won't
    believe me, even though I am telling the truth. I
    mean, there's nothing more to say on this. I've got
    no reason to lieI do not believe that anyone accused you of being a liar, but expressed some doubts towards your conclusions.
    The fact of the matter is that lots of people post their problems here and blame it on java itself ('java is broken') etc... and more often than not, the problem lies in their code.
    I guess the next thing to do would be for you to post your code here.

    Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.

  • Everyday when I open Firefox a msg come on the screen that says "It is stronly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox ASAP." The connectivity server will not connect. Is there some way to disable this request?

    Everyday when I open Firefox a msg comes on the screen that says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox ASAP. When I try to install, it will not connect to the connecting server so it just clocks forever.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only document showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

    I just bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only documents showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

    Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

  • Is LiveCycle only a part of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro EXTENDED, or does it come with the pro version too?

    Sorry, I know this is dated but my company doesnt offer Acrobat X (yet. It is currently pending approval from IT). Anyway, I am wondering if the Livecycle designer program comes with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional version or just the Extended which I cannot get? This is very important as I will be using it to create a form (literally just one form lol).
    Thanks

    Designer ES is distributed with both Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows.

  • HT4009 "Sorry, your device doesn't support the payment". Trying to make in app purchase.

    Hi, i am trying to make an in app purchase in the game Iron Force, but keep getting a screen pop up that says "Sorry, your device doesn't support the payment". I have already tried to trouble shoot this, I went into settings and made sure in app purchases were on, I also checked my I tunes account and verified my info. Also I have hard reset the phone, and the app, turned the phone off and on, deleted the app and reinstalled it on my iphone. I am stuck, if anyone can help me that would be great. Thank you.

    Have you done as the message says and contacted iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) ? If not then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

    Hello-
    I have an air application that is distributed via CDROM, the app is signed by a code signing certificate and timestamped. In mid-August when my certicate expired my users started calling stating that they couldn't install our product due to the following error: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author." From my understanding a timestamped application is taken at a point in time when it's generated so why would it matter if the certificate was still valid? I have since replaced the certificate and will need to redistribute to my (thousands of) users however when I test it out using a future date and time the same error occurs. Any information to help resolve this would be grately appreciated.

    my command:
    C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adl
    application.xml
    C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adt
    -certificate -cn HelloW
    orld 1024-RSA certHelloWorld.pfx password

  • Having a MBPr late 2013 and having a sound problem the sound does not come tom the headphones even its all the way up and when i remove the headphones it docent come out the internal speaker either ? any idea how i fix this?

    the sound do not come out the headphones sometimes altho its all the way up in the setting and when i remove the headphones the sound doesnt come from the internal speaker either and only a reboot fixes the problem and thats annoying! any idea how tto fix this?

    Hello. I've been able to play sound without problems through headphones or external speakers to date - the output always switched to these automatically until today. Now, sound output continues through internal speakers even if I plug in headphones or external speakers.
    - I tested the headphones and speakers on other devices: they work fine.
    - When I plug in headphones or speakers into the audio output port (I have verified that I'm not using the input jack) the devices are not detected and are not listed under the output tab in system preferences-sound.
    I concluded from this that I probably had a problem with the audio port, so to test that I tried the following. I plugged a powered multi-USB device with ports for microphone line-in and headphone line-out into the USB port and switched it on. I verified that it was working by plugging a USB stick into the multi-USB device - this was recognised successfully, so the device was clearly working. I then plugged in headphones and speakers into the audio line-out on the multi USB device - but still no sound came through them (and tey were not listed among output devices) and the Mac continued using internal speakers.
    What should I do? Does the latter test suggest that the problem does not lie with the audio port, or is my test not conclusive? What would you advise?
    Many thanks indeed!

  • Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

    sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them, that my Iphone or receiving 5 supports 4G LTE,
    Thank you for your attention

    Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
    If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

  • HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

  • How long is the charger that comes in the box?

    I'm going to get an iPad 2 and I am going to get an adapter for the charger, but I wanted to know how long the charger that comes in the box so I know if I should get the little box adapter or the six-foot long adapter.

    Sorry, misunderstood
    Yes the cable is 1m long. And if its a charger itself it should work fine
