Suggestion for a new name for this place

Using the term "Support" in Apple Support Communities makes people think they have Apple's ear here.
("This is the support website, right? My Mac Plus crashed after I installed all of Unsanity's Haxies. C'mon Apple!")
And lots of people aren't providing support or receiving support, anyway (e.g., this post). In fact lots of people are just blowing off steam or ranting and raving in some form or another.
Why not just call this joint: "Apple Communities"?
Yes, I embrace the irony in making this suggestion to the non-Apple audience.  But feel free to trash me anyway.

Thanks for the Don Martin props. Glad to see someone recognized it. One of these days I'll get around to giving myself a present of the two volume "Completely Mad Don Martin." Too bad, I completely missed Captain Klutz. I don't think I was aware of Mad or Don Martin very much after the early '60's. I had all the fifties Mads, which my mother, in a fit of cleanliness, threw out when I went away to college. If I had them now, I could afford to buy that two volume set in a beat.
His characters are absolutely wonderful. I think the ony one who comes anywhere now to expressing that complete sense of lostness, derangement (the body gone totally awry) and befuddlement is Roz Chast in the New Yorker. (See the Ungooglable Man, below.) But Don Martin is still the gold standard in that department.
(I like your suggestons for names. Maybe we can use them all.)

  • A1281 is the battery i got for my 15inch MBP. Is the battery life only 2 - 3 hours for a new battery on this device.

    A1281 is the battery i got for my 15inch MBP. Is the battery life only 2 - 3 hours for a new battery on this device.
    This is from Apple.
    2 to 3 hours seems very low.
    what is teh standard or advertised spec for a 15 inch Macbook Pro with this battery.
    I would like to know so that i can return it if this is not normal.
    Its expensive so comments would be appreciated.

    I say it depends on your model? average usage is about 3-4 hours depending on what you use and how you use it. Adobe Flash player eats a lot of battery power so if you are on a web page and has flash player, likely that it's eating up battery because of it's power thirsty.
    Also check your systems activity monitor. It could be possible that one of your program/apps did not close right and may be still running. So check for that and end the process if necessary.
    If you have a backlight keyboard, in a broad daylight, it's not necessary to have it on.
    I also suggest that you use it plugged in most of the time, and it's not going to hurt or damage the battery if you have it plugged in all the time. Only use on battery if you are going to places that has no access to the outlet. If you are at home, then keep it plugged in. Just keep in mind to fully drain the battery until it your MBP turns off on it's own. This is the calibration process so that you have the most accurate battery readings.
    The standard for 2011 MBP is 7 hours on battery. Before that model is 10 hours, but i don't believe that previous models will last 10 hours. Last week I calibrated my battery readings from fully charged and it took 9 hours to completely drain out the battery (I have a 2011 model),
    If you think it's not normal and that your battery doesn't meet your expectation then set up an appointment with the genius bar and have them test the battery. They will determine whether it is faulty or not.

  • A new name for a company

    Hello all
    I'm switching to a new name for my company. The website
    content will stay the same. My question is this. If I go to "site
    Definition" and change the old name & the root folder over to
    my new name will it delete any of my pages or do something weird to
    any of my file folders? If anybody can tell me the best way to make
    this change over I would appreciate it.
    Thanks
    why_atl

    Bear in mind that this is a change that only *you* will see.
    It will not
    affect any of the site's pages.

  • ITunes says "Please try a new name for your calendar" and closes

    The entire message says, "sorry that username is taken. Please try a new name for your calendar itunes" and the locks up and shuts down. It then reopens and the process begins again. I am running current versions of iTunes and Leopard. I have tried reinstalling iTunes, but no dice.

    I wonder why all of a sudden this thing is giving trouble? I've used it for a year or so and no issues, now all of a sudden it isn't working? Do you know the name of the file for iConcertCal? I searched for it and it isn't found on the computer by that name.

  • Does the apple warranty on my iphone cover me if my charger stops working? Can i exchange for a new one for free?

    My charger has developed one of those wrinkles near the plug and only works if I hold it a certain way and push it in weird. I want a new charger from Apple but don't want to pay for it. I bought a warranty along with my iPhone 5s and the worker said I would get a free phone if I broke mine since I had a warranty, he also said something about a new charger. Can I take my broken one into the store and trade it in for a new one for free since I have the warranty?

    Matters what model you want to trade it in for, if it's the same than yes. If it's a cheaper one they're going to give you how much more money your current phone is worth compared to your new phone. Also, for the charger that depends on our plan and Apple

  • Does a new name for the internal HD make my Time Machine (and CCC) backups useless?

    I have a replacement 1TB internal HD that I need to clone from my existing internal HD, using Carbon Copy Cloner. Initially I'll connect it in an external enclosure via USB, no questions on that.
    I'd like to give the new HD itself a new name. Is there any way to have the new drive recognize all the corresponding data on my external drive Time Machine. Or will I have to start all over? I know that means I'd lose several months' worth of TM data.
    As long as I'm asking about TM, does the same principle apply to the 1:1 clones made with CCC?
    Thanks for any help.

    No problem with renaming the clone drive something else, in fact it's recommended.
    However for best results I suggest doing so while option key booted from the clone, just in case.

  • TS1398 I just reset my new router name and password and my iPad keeps picking up the old name using the old password. How do I purge the old info and get it to look for the new name?

    I installed a new wireless router and connected with my iPad. I then changed the ID and password with ethernet but now my iPad keeps picking up the old router name and password and doesn't see the new name. How can I get it to stop looking for the old name and find the new one?

  • How do I create a non-apple ID account for a new adminstrator for a Podcast Site Manager

    http://myinfo.apple.com is inoperable.  I need to create a new account for an Administrator for our Podcast Site Manager account.  We have one that no one can access.  Can someone assist or point me in the direction of someone at APPLE that can?  I called their helpdesk and THEY couldn't even help.
    Concerned...

    I'm afraid I don't know anything about this: it doesn't appear to be relevant to ordinary podcasts. Is this an iTunes-U matter? - perhaps that forum would help.

  • Query for exact item name for CAL required

    Hi,
    We are e-businessoft, reseller for Microsoft softwares.
    One of the customer has recently purchased windows server and now wants to purchase some user CALs. Few users will do mstsc of WinServer from within the
    premises and few customers will do the mstsc from remote location, a different city. Remote user will login via internet connection into the LAN and then do mstsc
    of WinServer.
    Please tell me exactly what products has to be purchased to facilitate this. I have suggested the below:
    1. WinSvrCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL UsrCAL
    2. WinRmtDsktpSrvcsCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL UsrCAL
    If this is correct, then please guide on how exactly this works? For example, The user doing mstsc from within premises requires item 1 only and users doing mstsc
    from different city requires item 2 only, or both 1 and 2 is required in both case.
    The terminal server services gives a countdown of 120 days from date of installation and ultimately expires and all connections thru mstsc stops. And then the
    server is reinstalled. So one major concern is whether purchase of these CALs will stop this inconvinience for ever?
    Please reply asap. CAL requirement is very urgent but can not proceed unless this clarity comes from you.

    Hi,
    Resellers should contact MSFT Partner Support for assistance.
    In general, the scenario you describe requires both Windows Server CAL and also RDS CAL for each user/device.
    This is because an RDS/TS CAL is required for correctly licensed use of RDS/TS, and in addition, because RDS/TS is used to gain access to Windows Server services/features, a Windows Server CAL is also required.
    (there are different scenarios which may apply, depending upon the edition of Windows Server being used, and also, it may be less expensive, depending on the size/scale of the scenario, to instead consider CAL Suite options)
    (also, note that if the Windows Server is offering MS Office, that requires Office licensing to be addressed. Also consider if the RDS/TS will allow the users/devices to consume MS Exchange or MS SharePoint or MS SQL, additional CALs for those products may
    be required)

  • BADI for adding new approver for PO

    Hi All,
      I want to add new approver for PO but with some restrictions. Could any one give me the BADI ddetails?

    Hello Shiva,
    Hope you may find this useful for your scenario.
    Allow Changes to Approvers
    Use
    You can use the Business Add-In (<DS:GLOS.5C733369F735D311AE620060B03C9BBE>BAdI) BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW to activate and deactivate the adding/changing of reviewers in the workflow approval preview.
    (The appropriate pushbuttons are then shown or hidden on the user interface.)
    Activities
    To do this, implement the method AUTHORISE_FOR_CHANGE in the BAdI.
    Example
    METHOD if_ex_bbp_chng_agnt_allow~authorise_for_change.
      IF sy-uname EQ 'EMPLOYEE4'.
        ev_add_buttons_disabled = 'X'.

  • Is it possible to exchange a broken (on the inside) iphone 5 for a new one for a small price?, Is it possible to exchange a broken (on the inside) iphone 5 for a new one for a small price?

    Mine won't answer, it wont turn on, i tried asking a specialist and he said apple used to exchange recent iphones for second-hand ones for around 300€. Is it still the case?

    That is one option.
    If no longer under warranty, another option is taking it to an independent cell phone repair shop.
    Another option is trying to sell it as is and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPhone.
