This Question is solved

Hi guys,
I understand the arbitary points system, and the frustration of not getting points when you answer someones question, but they don't or don't know how to, but what i don't understand is if someone asks a question and there's only one answer, and the poster then says that the question is resolved - why doesn't the person who resolved the issue for them get points. There's no ambiguity here: Question -Answer - Resolved should equal points!

That's just another reason that looking for points creates the wrong atmosphere.
I do not like it in any way. I know that there is no real way to measure the amount of help given on any forum. If you go by posts, the only thing you measure is obsessiveness. If you go by stars you cannot get an accurate reading since people may not get stars for questions the answered as well as getting stars for the wrong reasons. If you go by registration date, you can't tell anything that way either.
I have no solution, but expecting points to be awarded properly is not going to work. All you can really go by i whether the given answer worked for you. If it did - be happy. If not, post back and someone else will chime in.
All the stars and points system does is create a silly, almost childlike competitive system that has nothing to do with what these forums once were - the best collection of volunteers what gave their time freely to support the platform they love in a friendly and courteous manner.
I find it ridiculous that people will post a one line answer to a simple question and then a two paragraph request to award points. I know it is allowed within the current system, but it makes me wonder why participate in a forum in which you feel a need to beg for recognition.

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • Help! Where should I post this question, so I can get it answer?

    Can Itune get too full whereas it will stop downloading podcast automatically or manually? I just exported my 2006 " bibleonradio" podcast to a folder on my harddrive. Immediately itune started downloading podast from that site. But for the last 4-5 months it would hit and miss with downloading and the last 2 weeks it quit altogether.I would go to the site and download the podcast to a selected itune folder as a mp3 for listening.
    Do I need to do some type of maintenance to prevent this from occurring? The site is simple reading of bible scriptures. Could itunes get confuse with 2006 podcasts, thinking I already have the podcast, even though the release date for the new podast are mark 2007?

    Look at the Podcasts in your iTunes Library. Do you see a little exclamation point to the left of the listing? If so, click on that.

    Thank you for your reply:
    I have that symbol on some of my other podacst sites, but not this one because I listen to it daily, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Could the exclamation symbol for the othe sites, which goes away if I start listening to them again affect this podcast? but these site with the exclamation also hit and miss when itunes downloads, as much as 2-3 weeks once I start it back up.

    What's happened to me is that some Podcasts I subscribe to I might get lazy about listening to. Several of the Podcasts will pile up, and after a while iTunes will stop updating if you haven't listened to them. When I click on that little exclamation point in a circle, it will tell me that iTunes hasn't been updating that podcast because I haven't listened to it in a while. I think it asks if you want to continue (or maybe you have to click on subscribe again to get them started back).
    If you are listening to this particular podcast every day, that shouldn't be a problem. And not listening to the other ones shouldn't affect this one. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
    You might go to iTunes> Preferences and click on the tab for Podcasts and see what your settings are there.

    Trying to come up with an alternative to incomplete podcasts downloads from a website. What I'm trying to do is convert some the missing podcasts file from a website that itune don't download-reason unknown. I'm able to download a mp3 file of the podcast from the web site to my desktop, but I would like to add this to my podcast library under the same name of the podcast that I subscribed, then add to my playlist for continuous playing. Is this possible?
    Thank for any Help,

    Some Podcasts have many episodes and when I subscribe, I get them all at once. But with some podcasts ( http://www.bibleonradio.com/ ), only a few episodes download, and I know there are many others available either because I can see them listed by going directly to the site or because they are numbered and some are clearly missing. I have tried setting my preferences both to download the latest edition of a podcast when I update or to download ALL editions. No difference either way.
    Strangely enough, if I am patience , sometimes the gaps will fill themselves in or all at once when I choose to click update. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I email the web administrator and they said they were able to go to the itune store and download all the recent episodes. Below is my email conversation.
    Thanks,

    If you mean podcasting of the One Year Audio Bible, then whenever the podcasting is behind you can always go out to the website and download from there. That’s usually been updated even when the podcast has not. Sorry for the inconvenience but the podcast should be brought up to date soon.

    Austin,
    I just went out to the iTunes store and tried to download those dates you had a problem with and I was able to download them without any problem. Maybe you should try again. And yes, you can manually download them from our website and store them into your podcast library. I’ve done that before and it works too.

    Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

  • The website Kotaku brings me to a blank white page when i try do a search or click a link to an older post, it says done in the loading bar. Also had an error where I couldn't log in properly while trying to post this question on these forums.

    Yesterday I clicked the "link Facebook account" on the website www.kotaku.com.au. Prior to that I can't remember having this issue. Not sure if its related.
    My first idea was to use safe mode, which worked. so i disabled my addons in non-safe mode but it still didn't work.
    The only thing that solved the problem was clearing my cookies, so for now I have the cookies of kotaku blocked. Obviously not an ideal situation.
    I found these error message in console:
    Error: Permission denied for <http://network.alluremedia.com.au> to call method Location.toString on <http://www.kotaku.com.au>.
    Error: pageTracker is not defined
    Source File: javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/interaction/rollover');
    Line: 1
    I was originally going to post this as a website error, however when trying to ask this question using Firefox I was presented with my log in name and a log out button, rather than the Ask a New Question page. Once again, it worked fine when I disabled cookies.
    So now I'm thinking it may not be a single site problem.
    Can't find many useful topics on the internet, needing some help.

    Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem.  On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

  • How can I change the system to stop opening a new page everytime I seek information from that page? It took me 5 pages on the task bar to ask this question.

    This week I downloaded the BIOS update from Mozilla and since then my header bar has not been the same. For instance, in order to get to this box, to ask my question, I entered Mozilla.com, then entered "Help" which resulted in a new tab, then "Ask a Question" which was another tab, then still another tab. By the time I got to this page I have 5 tabs open. In the past, a new page was opened and I could always return to the original via the "arrow" in the address bar. More than likely this can be solved with one key stroke, I just don't know what key to stroke.
    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, but what do you mean by a BIOS update?
    Firefox will launch a link in a new tab if the Ctrl key is pressed down during clicking, and will launch a link in a new window if the Shift key is pressed down during clicking. Maybe Firefox is having trouble reading your keyboard accurately. Sometimes pressing Ctrl or Shift several times will help clear that up. In other cases, it could be a compatibility problem with your keyboard, low batteries, or another problem on the keyboard side. And/or, if you haven't shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began, that sometimes helps.
    Some add-ons also can change how links behave. Do you have any extensions related to tabs, like Tab Mix Plus? You can review your extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. For some, you will find an Options button to inspect their settings.

  • Please help me with this question..

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry for asking the same question which was posted many times in this forum.
    I have the following scenario..
    Database name: database1
    schema names: schema1
                  schema2
                  schema3
                  schema4
                  schema5
                  schema6
                  schema7
    workspace is with: schema1
                       schema2
    1. can i create 1 application that need to access tables in both schema1 and schema2 ?
    comments: I think we have to choose "parsing schema" when i am creating an application.
              if i choose the parsing schema as "schema1".
    2.how can i create a "form on a table" or some other wizard based forms which is in schema2?
    3.what priviliges do i need to create "form on a table" or some other wizard based forms which is in schema2?
    4.As my workspace is with schema1 and schema2. How can i create "forms" on tables which are in
    schema3? do i need to "create a view of table in schema3"  in schema1?
    All the above question will raise if i have to create forms or reports with "wizards". Is this stmt correct?
    I mean if i create a form "manually" all i need to look whether i have insert,update and delete priv on
    that object? is it correct?i think this question was answered several times.sorry for the repost.
    Thanks

    It is not necessary to say "please help me" since help comes almost always. Maybe sometimes you need to bump your question after a while. However, back to your question. I can tell you how I solve that problem:
    granting select, insert, update, delete on all tables to the parsing schema
    granting select on all views to the parsing schema
    granting execute on all procedures and packages to the parsing schema
    creating synonyms in the parsing schema for all tables, views, sequences, etc.
    You can do all of this programatically in a loop instead of writing it for each object separatelly.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

  • I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

    I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?  I do nto care about anythign else.
    Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
    Backup iPad
    Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
    restart Vista Laptop
    upgrade to newest iOS
    I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
    at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
    I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
    I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times.  The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
    I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
    They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
    Your help is much appreciated

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
