Suggestion: Forums should have an FAQ

Hi All,
I have spent the last hour or more looking through posts from the last 4 months. I am looking for information about installing the 9iAS with a 9i Database. There are lots of questions about this same thing. It would be handy if there were an FAQ where there was one authoritative answer to the question instead of bits and pieces here and there.
Just a thought,

Suggest: pacman should have an option to ignore package chk

I am a new Archlinux user. I have tried to install Archlinux in my computer several times. To avoid additional network access, I always backup the pkg.tar.gz files from my cache folder before installing Archlinux and restore them after first boot into the new system and before running "pacman -Syu".
Last time I tried to use the ABS system to build my own packages with customized CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS. I was using srcpac to build some system packages without any problem.
However, next time when I try to reinstall my system the pacman complains about "corrupted" .pkg.tar.gz files. Because I can use "pacman -U " to install them (but not "pacman -S"), I recon the files are not corrupted and the only problem is that they are not downloaded from archlinux.org (or any other mirror sites) but compiled in the previous Archlinux system installed in the same computer.
I have tried to find out options available in the menu of pacman but I have not found any option to avoid this problem.
Here is my SUGGESTION: add an option (say "--nocheck") which ignores the integraty check of the files.

So, what should I do to for the new installation? How to restore the my repo in the new installation? And if I replaced some packages in "core" repo or even "base" group with some compiled packages in my local repository, which checksum will be detected first?
It depends what repo comes first in your pacman.conf. If you put your personal repo at first place (or exactly, before the official repos), pacman will use your self compiled packages and so prevent updates. You have to take care for that yourself. In the opposite case your selfmade packages will be overinstalled with next update.
If you only want to install one specific package, you can use the syntax "pacman -Sy <repo>/<package>" to install from a specific repo.
As you can see, if I use a local repo I have to worry about the update of repos, and it is not a solution good enough.
I am not sure whether "pacman -Sy <repo>/<package>" is working or not, because when you are installing a package all the dependents has to be installed first. If the dependent packages is also customised and have another version (with SAME version number), can pacman check the same repo before checking the "core"/"extra"/"community" repos? If the answer is yes I recon this is a good solution.

I have been reading a lot about ios 7. It suggests I should wait before updating, is this wise advise?

I have been reading a lot about ios 7 on my ipad 2. It suggests I should wait before updating, is this wise advise?

iOS 7 will be and undoubtedly already has been extensively tested, but there can be errors that are missed during testing. Errors either in iOS itself, or in specific applications you're using.
If one of those errors is key to your environment or to an app that you depend on, then you can be at a standstill until the problem is resolved.
Which leads to the usual recommendations: either have a scratch device and test the update there, or at least wait a week or so — a week or so for a heavily used product such as iOS and for common applications, longer for less-common operating systems and applications — and see what gets reported by others.
Do we know what those errors might or will be, what part of iOS might be effected (if any), or what specific features of applications that you depend on might be perturbed? No.
Some of us will be somewhat slow about updating to newer OS X Server releases — unless we need a specific fix or update — just so that the more common issues can be sorted out by other folks, or where we use and run the updates on test systems where we can afford that; on hardware configurations that we can update and see what (if anything) fails with the update.
In terms of an iOS update, the most you'll probably effect with a failed update is yourself. Worst case, the phone is bricked, and one user (you) is out. With OS X Server, you can adversely effect dozens of folks with a failed OS X Server update or with a bricked server box.
If you still want the New Shiny (and who doesn't?), then definitely have a couple of recent backups of your data. Before you update.

HT201401 My IPhone4 is in a coma. Will not reboot even when fully charged and using reboot techniques listed in forum. Any suggestions? I have some pics and contacts I need. I did not backup!

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I did not back up my IPhone4 - stupid on my part. It just quit the other day. It is in a coma. I have tried recharging and rebooting to no avail. My greatest concern are several pictures that I cannot replace. Is their an internal sim card that perhaps could be recovered. I need to return the phone to Verizon as they mailed me a replacement due to the fact that no one at the local Verizon store could awaken the phone. Please help if you have ANY suggestions! Of course, i will backup everything in the future - just hoping for a chance with these pics and contacts.

PowerPivot: MidTier process account should have 'Full Read' permission on all associated SPWebApplications.

First time install of SharePoint 2013 (with SQL Server 2014) and Health Analyzer continuously shows the error in subject line. Note that I've 'Reanalyzed' the error and attempted to 'Repair Automatically' but no luck. I've followed the instructions
on related threads for this issue but to no avail.
Verified that the service account used by the App Pool has Full Read access on the web site as below.
First verified what App Pool is being used by the PowerPivot application:
Then verified what domain account is used as the service identity for the App Pool (under Service Accounts, but I can only upload 2 images per post). The Service Account for the SharePoint Web Services System is <mydomain>\SPServices
Then checked that the domain account has Full Read on the web site
Any help of ways I can additionally troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Dinesh,
Please use another domain account for PowerPivot Service Application instead of SP_farm, then grant full read permission to the content web applications associated to this service application through User Policy, then run the rule and check result again.

All apps should have a trial time

I just feedbacked this to Apple:
I have thought about this a long time, and I cannot understand why this in't implemented in the iPhone App store yet.
All apps should have a free trial period for a period of time (eg 3 days).
- This way you may try out an app that you are interested in.
- The developer doesn't need to create "light" applications.
- All ratings will belong to *the* app, not a light app + the real app.
This should of course be approved by the developer that may by various reasons don't allow a free trial. But the default should be true.
And the developer should also declare the trial time, maybe down to hours.
I think this would have a great impact on the sell!
At least for me, I don't want to spend money on something that I'm not sure about, and I think there are many people that thinks the same way.
Please consider this.
Regards,

It really doesn't matter what we think, because we're all users here and we don't effect policy.
What you're asking here is tantamount to polling, which is prohibited by the Terms of Use (link to it at the bottom of the page) of this forum, because it serves as no help to other users on this forum seeking legitimate assistance with a technical support question.
I'm not saying your suggestion was bad, just that if you want to know what other's think, consider starting a blog, which is a more appropriate forum, not a user to user technical support website.

Getting point here - Community Feedback and Suggestions forums

Point system bad or good, it seems we have to live with that. So, just a thought.
Is there any sense to have this point system in the Feedback and Suggestions forum ?
This is not product related (according to the forum's title, isn't it), so people are "classified" as newbie/expert/... on what ? Forum knowledge ? What's a good knowledge on a product ! I should add it in my resume :-)

What the Macbook Pro should have

Hi guys, 2 weeks ago I purchased my first Apple laptop - the Macbook Pro 13", before that (and still sometimes) I used PC. Even though the design is great, there are things that could be done to make it perfect. Here is my list, please tell me what you think about it.
1 - A delete button one the keyboard, I noticed that the Macbook Pro doesn't have one before purchasing it, but after using if for 2 weeks noticed how important it is.
2 - The 2 USB ports are quite inconvenient because they are next to each other, it would be more convenient if they are from both sides instead, like Macbook Air. I have devises that are a bit wider than the other ones, so when one of these is plugged in, the other USB port is unusable. Speaking of which USB 2.0 isn't good! The ThunderBolt port is great but there are no devises yet that can take any advantage of it, so in the meantime USB 3.0 would be great.
3 - HDMI port - most of the laptops already have it, I don't see why none of the Macbooks has it. If I want to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV, I have to spend extra money on MiniDisplay to HDMI adaptor (it's not like Apple products are any cheep, so spending extra money on things that should have been there on first place is NOT good).
4 - Numerical Keyboard - I know there is no room for it, but a button like Caps Lock could be used, when it's pressed certain buttons from the keyboard could act only as numerical keyboard and when pressed again, the keyboard could be back to normal.
5 - The screen resolution of the 13" Macbook Pro should have been like the 13" Macbook Air.
6 - The CD Drive is unnecessary, nobody uses it nowadays. Nobody listens to music from a CD and nobody installs any software from a CD, everyone uses the Internet for these things, the little part of people who are still using CDs, DVDs, etc. have other devises such as: DVD or Blue-ray players, HiFi systems and Desktops. The room that is taken by the Optical Disk could be used for a bigger battery.
7 - Better cooling system - when watching a move the laptop gets so hot that I literally can't put it on my lap (lol what a paradox, a laptop that cannot be put on a lap), also I would love to be able to close the lid and leave the laptop works (it is great when downloading big files or scanning software is used), but with that cooling system I'm afraid that it would overheat.
8 - Last but not least - The screen bezel. It's too big, Macbooks should be bezelless, it would make them much better looking.

DS had some great points, I'll chime in as well.
1.) I agree, it'd be handy to have. It definitely took some getting use to but once you do and modify your keyboard workflow it becomes second nature.
2.) I ended up investing a USB extension cable, Apple makes them I believe. At least they use to, I've had mine for years. While the cable dangling off the side of the machine is a bit of an annoyance, it's a necessity if I want to double up my AirCard (USB) with a thumb drive. USB 2.0 is still the "standard" and as such it's going to be the de facto peripheral port. Apple is historically slow about adopting non-standard peripheral interfaces unless they pioneer or champion it. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple still doesn't offer USB 3.0 this time next year. Thunderbolt/Light Peak is brand new tech, and as such it's going to take a while to have peripherals that support it. There are NAS devices that have it, they were just announced this week.
Here's a link regarding its deployment - http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/13/intel-distributing-thunderbolt-developer-kits-thi s-quarter-more/
3.) I agree that HDMI would be nice but with Thunderbolt supporting HDMI, I really don't see Apple adding another video out port. There's no room left on the I/O strip on the 13" MBP for it. Apple use to include adapters (when the MBP first came out) but they've since stopped doing that and gouge with adapters. Thankfully there are numerous 3rd party offerings at a fraction of the price.
4.) I agree, I forget which "redesign" of the keyboard layout got rid of the Num Lock key. I know my 15" MBP (Santa Rosa) has it. I currently use my iPhone as my numerical keyboard, there's a great little app that pairs the phone to your computer via Bluetooth. It works great as an alternative.
5.) Marketing 101. By introducing it via a future revision this encourages current owners to want to upgrade/switch and thus move more units and tout it as a "feature upgrade." I was pretty shocked the i5/i7 update to the MBP 13" did not introduce the 1440 resolution.
6.) This is where you'll get disagreement. Rule #1 of proper Internet forum posting, don't use words like: everyone, everyone, most, all, nobody, no one, etc. Especially without evidence to back it up. While you don't use it, people do. I use mine daily, my co-workers use their drives daily. That's 11 people right there, which is 11 more than "nobody."
7.) Apple has never called their computer a "laptop." They've always referred to is as a portable computer. Matter of fact, they strongly discourage the use of their portable computers on your lap due to how the heat dissipation process works through the top case. So the problem(s) you're experiencing are to be expected, you're using the machine in a method that is not recommended by the manufacturer. They even discuss that in the "Getting Started" booklet that came with your machine.

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

IPhone should have....

I have posted this on another site .. however I think given the importance here it is again
iPhone should have....
• Copy/cut and paste would be useful- This includes text selection, time after time I have wanted forward and email however I only wanted to send a single line or a paragraph.
• More text editing options
• Multiple address receipients for SMS (what are apple thinking, poor effort on this.)
• Send VCF cards from contacts via text as well as Bluetooth sending.
In addition to the above
• Whilst look at a contact entry, you should be able to go to the next contact with having to go back to the list.
• Ability to change system font and size.
In Europe the mobile industry is far more mature and users look for innovation without the loss of basic funtionality. The iPhone has lost this basic functions, SMS messaging is important in Europe.
Please add what you think it should have below
Now this is from other people who replied to my forum
• a non- recessed headphone jack and picture messaging would be just peachy. (I really agree with the first point here about the headphone jack but not sure about the second point...Dinesh)
• any application has the widescreen view when the iPhone is turned on its side (Totally Agree with this)

Since this is a user to user tech support forum which Apple does not read for feature enhancements please direct all requests to this link:

My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?
