Suggestions for Updates to Apple Communities.

This will be a work-in-progress that I'll update as needed.
1. Bring back the "previous" & "next" navigation buttons at the top and bottom of the THREADS.
2. Bring back the link to questions we've posted. It could go in the "Your Stuff" drop-down.
3. Bring back the poster's location under their alias. As an International board, it helps to know where the poster is located. An answer that works on a U.S. machine may not work on a German, or even, British machine.
4. Need "Preview" button in post composing window.

WZZZ & romad --
Those of us who were here are all grimacing, remembering what we went through with the "Old" "New" system.
Many of us were hysterical. The biggest difference overall, was that AD was Off freakin Line for well over a week. It would come back briefly, and finally open up, and then take 5 minutes to get to a forum. Posting often quit Safari.
I'm impressed that they have this all working (in that we can ask questions, post answers) after being down only a little over 12 hours, instead of a week or more.
Nevertheless, I'm going to be frustrated, because I knew the old system so like the back of my hand, which I'm sure is true for you, as well.
I'm going to stick with it for a while, and see if I can get the hang of it better with use.
Hope you guys do, as well.
Onwards & Upwards!

when my macbook asks for update the apple ID is incorrect and doesnt allow me to modify it. what can i do

Is this a second hand Mac?
Have you tried signing out of the App Store then signing back in?
From the App Store menu bar click Store > Sign Out
Quit and relaunch the App Store then click Store > Sign In with the correct Apple ID.

Suggestions for updates?

I'd like to make a suggestion for the next update.
Can the the icons at the top of the screen be made to where if u touch them it takes you to the menu to change their status. Especially the wifi and Bluetooth icons. These menus are buried and takes several seconds to get to them just to turn them off or on....

Good ideas, tell Apple at the link below.

Request Suggestions for updating PowerBook G3 Series

Looking to make upgrades to my laptop. All the G3 variations makes my head swim. I would appreciate suggestions specific to my set-up.
Thanks!

Goals
• To run OSX
• To use wireless for connection to Internet
Current Situation
• Currently running OS 9.2.1
• I already have a D-Link wireless router, DI-524, but haven't actually used it for anything wireless yet.
Questions
•What are the steps involved and purchases necessary to accomplish my goals?
PowerBook G3 Series, 300MHz, 8 GB Hard drive, 64MB RAM Mac OS 9.2.x

I guess you have a Wallstreet model, assuming it's a powerbook. You need a bigger hard drive for OSX in my opinion. 40 gig runs about $80. I have a 20 in my 333 Lombard. You would need to add a 256 memory chip $35. A wireless card for your PCM slot $50-60. A copy of The OS and you're done. That's $175 spent on a 7-8 year old laptop. I like my Lombard but not if was my only computer. So I guess it depends on what you are using it for. I cannot run Tiger 10.4 on my Lombard. It has no DVD drive. I am running Panther with 384 memory and it's ok. It really seems slow after I get up from the iMac G5 though. Most of these prices are at OWC..(macsales.com) YMMV
Hope this helps some

Suggestion for update

Hi,
I need to update all rows(8 millions) in one column in a table.Can you some one advice better way..?
update table T set c1=lpad(c1,9,'000')
where c1 is not null And Should i disable all constraint/triggers or only related of the column constraints.
Please advice .

Table is having how many columns and indexes, constraints, ..?
if few columns then you can use create table as select. then create all the indexes, triggers, constraints then rename original table as backup and rename back new table as old table.
If a lot of columns and avg row length is much bigger then this column then update directly after dropping any related index,constraint,trigger.
In this case you have to check for any row migration as column length is being increased.

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! Any suggestions?

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info??? Any suggestions?

To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
Best of luck.

HT201441 How do I update my apple ID for find my iphone when it is linked to an old deleted email address that is not recoverable

I recently changed my apple ID after I deleted my old email address which is no longer recoverable. I cannot get the find my iphone app to work. When I log in to try and change my apple id to the current one, or delete the account, it asks me for my password to the old email (apple id). I have no idea how to change this to be current. The password for my old apple id will not work and I am going in circles. When I log into the app and use my current apple id it does not locate any of my devices. They all say they are offline but are not. Any suggestions or help on how to unlink my old apple id to this app??

Hello Fatboy896,
You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud on your device, then revert the change to your Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

Wanted to update the software now available, but it is asking for a pass code. As far as I remember in didn't put in any pass code , how do I settle this issue . Earlier updates were asking Apple ID but pass code for updating the new soft ware not known.

Hello Kewal,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update. I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

Where can i make a suggestion for a mail feature on a future update?

I was looking for somewhere to make a suggestion for a future mail feature on the iphone, but couldn't find a place to do it.
It would be useful to be able to set mail fetching as manual in the evening and timed during the working day so my evenings aren't disturbed by work emails.
What do you reckon Apple? A feature for the next iOS update?

You are not addressing Apple here.
You can turn off the mail notification sound each night if you like.

IWEB SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLE

First, if Apple actually takes the time to read these Discussions, let me say, "Thanks!" I love Apple.
Second, I don't claim to be an expert, nor do I consider myself a uber-geek with incredible technical prowess.
I've just been playing around with iWeb, and have some suggestions for future updates, another 'Wish List' if you will;
1. The improvements to iPhoto are numerous and impressive, but iPhoto could use just a more photo tweaking in the realm of jpeg sizing. This would help integrate it with many iLife apps, especially iWeb.
2. GarageBand, likewise, also keeps getting better and better, but it too could use a little boost in the way it deals with file size and the overall affect on one's system. Just having the old 'go to GarageBand Help' popup gets a little frustrating. Optimizing should be more directly accessible in the user interface.
3. Creating easy access to, and integration of third party 'add ons' would be a really great way to deal with the current iWeb blogging limitations. Just as with many other blog systems, users could choose which various plug in enhancements they want on their iWeb blog.
If Apple made blog plug-ins easy to do, everybody would win. As with FireFox, for example, a community of iWeb enthusiasts could help develop and build iWeb into a super powerful app, via such user chosen add ons. Perhaps iWeb could be 'opened' up just a bit more, to let some more community light shine in?
That's just my two cents.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or just plain crazy, or post your own suggestions.
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) iBook, Airport, Original iPod, Bondi Blue, what about you?

Make sure you send your iWeb comments directed at Apple to them via the iWeb > Provide iWeb Feedback menu item. Ideas for Garage Band and iPhoto are better posted in the forums and feedback channels devoted to those programs than here.

The Recommended pages for updating software for my mac are no longer maintained by Apple. Any thoughts?

Although in my System information it lists my Mac as running OS X 10.9.5, it was not the case. My system was running browsers in an older version. When I asked for support, I was pointed to Recommended Articles about updating and installing software and firmware for my Intel-based Mac, however the pages say that they are out of date and no longer updated by Apple. Any suggestions? I have a Mac 20" Fall 2007 model.

When using the About this Mac selection from the Finder menu below the Apple icon,
in the little window of that name, when you click the information immediately below
the OS X, that should say Version 10.9.5, then click the same place again, and Build
number (may vary) should appear; click a third time and your product Serial number
appears. You can use this information to help correctly identify the OS X & build series.
Also, the total of memory RAM installed, appears; so does the processor specification.

There are other places to look in the running system, to tell if you may have a second
system, a different partition, or other questionable action going on. There is a way to
use the command line in Terminal to see what is going on, and other less complex ways
for a lay-person who is not experienced, to look at some information reports that can be
generated. One of them is the etrecheck report. It will show what is in the computer. But
not an entire complement of information that a inquiry via Terminal utility can.
•About Etrecheck (story + how it can be used + download product)
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck_story
Not sure exactly what the issue is you are facing, the computer may or may not have
a problem; what made you try to update software? If it has Mavericks, what does the
App Store or Software Update page show you? Do not upgrade to try & solve an issue.
Hopefully some information gained will be of help.
If the computer says it has Mavericks 10.9.5, it
probably does. However, what you need or hope
it to accomplish may require a different direction.
It may have older applications, or other problem.
Good luck & happy computing!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Hi gnaksung,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working.
You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - Apple Support
If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:
iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6
Sincerely,
Jeremy
