Want your name to appear in this list ??

Would you like your name to appear in the lists ?
As a forum monitor I know I would like to see names instead of numbers..
Well, if you click on "Forum Settings" in the top right hand corner and set 'Name visible to others = Yes' then magically we'll be able to see each others names rather than referring to Poster 1278 which is altogether much more humane ;-)
Thanks

Never tried but you can try with this
*%f - Specifies the absolute file number*.
I just checked, it works. It wll give you file number not file name though.
and also with
*%N - You can have tablespace name with it*. This would be little more helpful.
You can combine both to get the file number and tablespace name together. I got the output like this.
FULL_DB_2::UNDOTBS1.RMAN
This means file *2* of undo tablespace. I used this format string format 'E:\Full_DB_%f::%N.rman'

  • I have a survey sharepoint list, now i want to create a webpart using this list.

    Hi All,
    i have a survey sharepoint list, now i want to create a webpart using this list.
    webpart is to "display one question from survey sharepoint list(latest question)" and enduser participate on the survey when enduser submits the question(survey), save the result in to the list and result will display as graphical representation.
    How can i do this requirement, any help?

    You do not need to create a custom web part if you need to show the latest question and then display result in graphical way. The Survey list gives that OOTB.
    If there is a specific requirement, you can use Server/Client Object Model and achieve it.

  • RMAN - Using fileperset = 1 and want datafile name to appear in piece name

    Environment: 10.2.0.4 on HP-UX
    Hi guys,
    One of my many problems with Netbackup is the inablity to trace backups as they get duplicated around the environment
    For our FULL backups, our backup script uses filesperset = 1 which means every datafile is backed up into its own piece
    We use rman format parameters %s %U etc to label our pieces. What would really help us would be if we could have the datafile name appear in the name of the backup piece
    Is that possible?
    this is a sample extract of out script
    SEND 'NB_ORA_POLICY=Oracle_${DATABASE_NAME},NB_ORA_SCHED=${NB_ORA_SCHED}';
    #------ Backup Full Database
    backup incremental level 0
    database
    filesperset 1
    format 'Full_DB_${DATABASE_NAME}_Weekly_Datafiles_%s:%t:%p.rman_backup'
    include current controlfile
    tag Full_DB_NetBackup;
    (note: I may be missing something fundamental here and being stupid, it's been known)

    Never tried but you can try with this
    *%f - Specifies the absolute file number*.
    I just checked, it works. It wll give you file number not file name though.
    and also with
    *%N - You can have tablespace name with it*. This would be little more helpful.
    You can combine both to get the file number and tablespace name together. I got the output like this.
    FULL_DB_2::UNDOTBS1.RMAN
    This means file *2* of undo tablespace. I used this format string format 'E:\Full_DB_%f::%N.rman'

  • When sending an email my From: box says "undisclosed recipient" rather than my actual name...want my name to appear in the From: line

    When I compose and send an email my name and email address show on the screen. But when it is sent the "From:" changes to "undisclosed recipients". I have a screen print of what I am talking about...but don't see on this screen how to send it to you.
    Hopefully you can give advice to a new user of Thunderbird.
    Margaret

    Woops...found the problem. My address book had the name "undisclosed recipients" next to my email address. I edited that name to say "Margaret Parsons" and presto my name appears in the "From" line on my sent emails. Yeaa....problem solved, given enough time and poking around Thunderbird...sure love this email.

  • #fix# - show your name instead of id in posts

    FYI,
    If you want your name to appear instead of some strange number next to your posts click the "forum settings" button on this page and make the change.

    I want to add my name, but it is not possible after I clicked FORMM SETTING button. It assumes that you have your names available, then you may select the radio button. But the name field is empty, then no chance to do that.

  • Is this really the response that you want your customer support to give.

    Sorry for the lenght of the original email but I had quite a few issues that have happen. I just wanted a second source saying that this canned response is the actual response that Best Buy wants to stand behind before I either go up the ladder to make sure that the upper management are wanting to let go of business for what I consider not that hard of a fix on Best Buy's side. So far no one that I've talked to or chatted with or have received an email from seems to have actually listened/read what the problems I've had are. The best I've received so far appears to be a quick glance and canned response. I feel this response was in poor taste considering the issue that I described about the website itself and the issue I was trying to deal with in looking at product on the website.
    There wasn't even a mention that John, the employee that actually tried to help would get any kind of attention for doing his job in an environment of no one else wanting to do theirs. The way all of this is coming off to me is that this is how Best Buy actually wants to do business. Is this the case?

    Original Message Follows: ------------------------
    On April 24, 2015 between the hours of 6:00 - 7:30 PM my wife and I went into your store located at 6455 N Decatur Blvd 
    Las Vegas, NV 89131 store number 1421. This was the absolute worst customer experience I have received in quite a long time. I am an elite plus member and spend thousands of dollars at best buy every year.  
    Upon entering this store we noticed that the displays looked even smaller than they have over recent months. We went in looking for two simple items. One was a HDTV antenna and the other a 3d blu ray movie that was a new release. I asked one associate if they had the items in the store and he looked up the movie for me and said that they had four copies of it and pointed me in the direction of where it should reside. He also told me to ask about the antenna at the appropriate department.  
    Upon, going to the area where the movies are kept we became confused, and disappointed as the rhyme and reason behind the sorting of new releases of blu ray, 3d, dvd, tv, etc all seem to make no sense. The store used to have all new releases in one big area where you would find it if it was released fairly new on whatever format it was sold in the new release section. Not any longer. Now the areas are small and the top tabs have things like favorite 3d releases/TV shows right now/Dvd's on sale all next to each other that make no sense. Why are the sections so small and why are they so convoluted? I couldn't find what I was looking for and since it was a new release and could find the blu ray version and the dvd version I was surely just missing it. Apparently I wasn't the only one. 
    We went looking for someone to assist us. There was no one to be found in that department. So we wandered around the store for a while looking for help and looking at product. We made it from the far back corner of the store all the way to the registers in the front of the store without coming across a single person who worked as an associate. We came across the direct TV rep, and a solar panel rep who were more than willing to sell everyone that walked by their products, which doesn't look well since they are doing their job but making it more obvious that the actual store is lacking in the customer service department.  
    After we made it all the way back to the front of the store I asked the same associate who couldn't quite help me all the way to speak to the store manager. We didn't get to the store manager because he was off, which is fine. We did however get to talk to an assistant who's name is John. He tried everything he could to help. He was on top of his game and had excellent customer service skills. It wasn't enough however as his computer said they had the 3d blu ray I was looking for in stock, four of them, and after leaving us in the area where we could talk to the associate who specialized in the area about HD antennas he looked for about twenty minutes and couldn't find the product either. During this twenty minutes the associate that was supposed to help us was wondering around the store I guess helping another customer, at least I'm hoping as she didn't state that was what she was doing but just kept saying that she would be with us in a minute. During this time my wife and I had talked to two more customers who were in the same boat as us. A lovely woman who was prepared to buy a TV and Blu Ray player on the spot and just couldn't decide which model of player would work for her. She was waiting even longer than my wife and I.  
    Upon John's return I had to ask him what was going on in the store, and he couldn't give an answer. I understand that employees cannot talk about the store policies and the politics and staffing and such but I wanted to make sure that he knew that my experience was that there wasn't that many customers in the store and that there didn't in my opinion seem to be a huge lack of employees at that moment. John tried to make up my experience by offering me the product I was looking for in a different format and that they would order it in the format that I was looking for and letting me exchange it at no cost because of the hassle I went through. This is exactly what I would have expected and he did a great job. Absolutely everything and everyone else in that store fell short of every expectation.  I did not take him up on his offer but thanked him for doing a great job. 
    Upon coming home and trying to send this email through the website. On a few different occasions I was met with an error that my message did not get through. That was the extent of the message and there was no support given on what to do next nor was there any information on where to send an email. It did give the toll free best buy number but not what numbers to choose to get to the correct department. 
    Then on Friday May 8th, I was looking to purchase a monitor larger than 70" and proceeded to look on bestbuy.com for said monitors. When looking to see what my closest store had in stock I decided it would be easier to call the store to find out what they did have in store rather than clicking each individual monitor and checking if it was available in my chosen store. The first store I called was 1044 and I was helped in a timely manner. They said they carried only one monitor that was 70" or above in store. Then I called store 358 twice. The first time I called the phone rang for about a minute and then I was placed on store hold without a greeting or a can you please hold. I just heard the sound of someone picking up the phone and then store music. I was then on hold for over ten minutes before I decided to call back. When I called back this time the phone just rang until it went busy. I then decided to call store 542 where I was greeted within thirty seconds. I asked them what they had in stock and was transferred. The person I was transferred to did not give me their name I asked them what they had over 70" and they weren't sure there was just silence for a lot longer than there should have been so I asked if there was an easier way to find out what was available on the best buy website in store. She explained that I could click the product and see if it was available at the certain store and I explained that I wanted to be able to look at several products at once like all the monitors that were over 70" and see if they were available in my closest stores. She kept explaining it to me in the way I was already doing it and I kept trying to explain that I already did that and was looking to try to do more than one product at a time. She then told me that she didn't have time for this and that I should just go to amazon or something.  
    So based off of my last in store experience. The lack of any help I can find on your website for situations like this and because of the utter disrespect shown to me over the phone I not only purchased my monitor through amazon.com based on her suggestions but I will not be doing any business with best buy either in store or online again. Not only have you lost the thousands that I spend there on a yearly basis but you are also now out the thousands of dollars that I spend there on a yearly basis for my company.  
    Except for John in store and the phone experience with 1044 I am beside myself in the complete downhill slope that best buy has taken.  

    Hello marikcraven,
    Welcome to the forum and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, not only surrounding your store and online experience, but your feedback regarding the response you received. It certainly seems that we’ve let you down on multiple levels.
    It is discouraging to hear that you, your wife, and John were unable to locate the 3D Blu-ray movie you desired, although our system indicated we had a few available. While I’m delighted to hear you were satisfied with John’s effort, it is disheartening to hear the rest of the staff left you so underwhelmed, and ultimately it doesn’t sound like you left with your antenna either. I am truly sorry for any frustration or dismay this visit may have caused. I’m glad that you ensured you brought up your concerns surrounding the lack of assistance with John.
    In regards to your experience with BestBuy.com, it is strange that you encountered trouble when sending your message. Although, it seems that you were finally able to send the message, I am sorry for any frustration it may have caused you. I’m sure your frustration only heightened once you spent the time dealing with the error only to receive a response you found unsatisfactory.
    As far as searching for inventory on BestBuy.com, sadly there isn’t a method to look at inventory for an individual store unless you are checking out the store’s clearance or open-box items. This would mean you would have to go through each item and check out it’s availability in your area. Typically this is a much more satisfying experience if you are able to narrow your search down to a few that you are truly interested in. With that said, I understand that this may not always be the best method. I apologize if you found this to be more of a hassle than you anticipated when you began your search for a 70” monitor, and if you had trouble contacting the individual stores regarding your inventory inquiries.  
    In the end, it’s clear we failed to delight you in store, online, and with our ability to address your concerns, and this resulted in you making a purchase elsewhere. I am terribly sorry that this has been your experience, as it is not indicative of the experience we strive to provide our customers. I truly hope that in the future you will feel confident enough to give us a chance to provide you with a better experience than the one you’ve described.
    If you should have any questions, please let us know!
    Respectfully,
    Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Artist name not appearing in list

    I received a new Ipod Classic 160GB for Christmas. I have transferred some CD's to it and some of the names of the artists are not appearing in the list of names. The albums are there - is there any way to get these to display? Thanks!

    ... and as well as the helpful answers provided by planb77 and Jeff there is another little trick you could try.
    Remove the Compilations heading from the *Main Menu* of your iPod. This will then cause all the artists who only appear on compilation albums to appear on the iPod/music/Artists* list.
    To remove the Compilations heading, go to *Settings/Main Menu* and make sure Compilations does not have a tick next to it.

  • TS2972 Only 9 Artist Names appear on the list

    When I connect to my Home Sharing Library from my PC (running iTunes version 11.0.1.12 on Widows xp prof. service pack 3) with my iPhone 4s (iso version 6.0.1) it will only list 9 artist names and 85 album names yet there are about 5,000 songs and over 1,200 albums. I can view all the songs and see the artist name and album under each song so I know they are all tagged. Befor I upgraded to itunes version 11.0.1.12 I don't think I had this problem, it was listing so many artists and albums I assumed it was listing them all.
    I have tried moving the library but this hasnt changed anything. I have also rebooted both devices without any success.
    My apple TV lists all the artists and albums so I guess the problem must be with the iphone?
    Can anyone help please?
    Chris

    Hi,
    I am not entirely sure I completely followed all of that.
    You can set two computers to have the same Screen Name and allow them to Log in to the AIM servers at the same time.
    The Bonjour Buddy List takes the name from the Address Book so you can not login in to both computers as Gregory Lazarchik as the Mac User on Both (If that is how your Name is in the Address Book).
    Going back to the AIM (Apple valid as well) Name. Once both computers are logged in with the Same Screen Name you can not appear in each others Buddy List (iChat does not allow you to Add yourself to the Buddy List)
    This used to be possible in iChat 2 and you could text chat to "yourself"
    AS I said before the other Issues are about the settings in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security about Allow and Block lists (At BOTH ends) that make people appear Off-line over AIM - Well that and Spelling of the Screen Name or adding them as @mac.com when they should be @me.com or an AIM name
    Using my name for example
    ralphjounsr
    [email protected] and
    [email protected] are three different Buddies
    As only one of those is correct you would see the others as Off-Line because the AIM Servers don't tell you if the name is a valid (in use) name.
    I am glad that you are sorted on this.

  • Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb

    For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list.  I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result.  It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there.  Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

    this did not work for me,
    Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.
    ecb31 wrote:
    ...I had to fill in the Album for each song, then it showed on my ipod, for ones I did ot know, I just put bloody apple.
    Huh?
    Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
    Well! &
    My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
    If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
    If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
    How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
    Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly?

  • I have a Sony DCR -SR32 which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way to import files from this camera ?

    I have a Sony DCR-SR32 HDD video camera which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way of importing video from this camera to imovie ?
    Thanks
    Pheona

    Greetings Pheona,
    That appears to be a hard drive based camecorder.  Usually these mount on the desktop of your computer as a little white hard drive icon.  If you go inside you should be able to find the movie files the camera is saving.  See what format they are (the last 3 letters at the end of the file name is a good place to start).
    You can drag the movie files from the camera hard drive to the computer to copy them.  Then convert them with a video file conversion program to a format iMovie can understand.
    Try converting one of the files using a video file conversion program like Video Monkey: http://videomonkey.org/downloads/
    In the "Convert to" drop down menu choose "DV" (Preferred), "Quicktime", or "MP4".  Then import the resulting file into iMovie and see if that works any better.
    If that program can't convert the files you can try another file conversion program:

  • I added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them

    i added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them?

    Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
    If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
    try this:
    open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
    let me know if succeeded!

    Hello, Edward and thank you for your note.
    I read through the thread you mentioned and it seems that people are having a lot of problems with the iCloud clients, so we're not alone, but the unique issue in my case is the failing email address vs. the working perfectly email address.
    After reading your message tonight, I tried my setup again with the preferred Apple ID (the one without the "." between the names), and for the first time ever, IT WORKS. Mail app configured the servers both send and receive as p01-smtp.mail.me.com and p01-imap.mail.me.com. For the first time, I'm able to send and receive into the Mail app, create mailboxes, move messages into and out of mailboxes, keep Sent messages, etc.
    I had a 50-minute support chat with MobileMe support via ExpressLane on Monday afternoon. They couldn't resolve my issue but passed me on to escalation. I was told to expect to get an email from advanced support by this afternoon, but none has arrived. However, so far tonight -- and I will check again tomorrow several times before declaring victory -- it looks like something has been fixed on the Apple end to make things work.
    I will report back after I do some additional testing tomorrow to make sure the fix is real and is solid...and before I let my friend, the new Mac user, know the good news.
    Regards,
    Mike
