What Happened to Software Development 101?

If this get's blocked/deleted then Apple has gone to the dark side
New forum, I used to come here all of the time for a friendly group of people who would help me out of a programming issue or two whenever I got stuck. Did apple delete these forums because they didn't like all of the free information that people were getting? Or did they just relocate them to an area that I can't very easily find. I hope and pray that it is the latter, but suspect that it is the former. Hopefully I'll get a response about this before this post is deleted and my account banned.

I think this recent form is still valid.
Section 1 sub 6 Apple involvement. Apple does not formally provide technical support on the Site...
Section 2 sub 1 sub 2 - Discussions of Apple policies or procedures or speculation on Apple decisions.
I'm aware of these policies due to a thread I was part of several years ago. The thread started out as a meaningful question, but many people (including myself) decided to add their two cents about "why Apple would do such a thing". We didn't really have any inside information, and would have been under a developer non-disclosure agreement if we did know something. I got several emails from the forum as they pretty much wiped out the whole thread. I actually went to the TOS and reread the thing so that I wouldn't get my comments removed.
I understood what I did wrong immediately, and I take care to try to find accurate, apple provided or other reputable sources of information whenever possible. There a many rumor sites on the internet where I can speculate (if I get the time) about what Apple is doing, or plans to do, or should do.

SDLC is a high-level concept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_development_life_cycle) not a feature of a particular software package, so I'm really not sure what you're asking.
If you're asking about the somewhat related topic of moving changes through environments, look at About Lifecycle Management.

What happened to GUI development in Sun Studio 12

Sun Studio 11 had xdesigner more/less integrated with it so you could develop windows (gui) apps. I cannot find anything in SunStudio 12 to enable me to develop C++ gui apps. Even netbeans doesn't seem to be integrated with sunstudio and has to launched/run separately. Am I missing something? Can I no longer create/maintain xwindow apps when using sunstudio 12?

The X-designer that shipped with Studio 11 was already quite old and out-of-date, so we stopped shipping it as of Studio 12. (It's hard to justify paying for new 3rd-party software to ship with a free product.) Design tools are available from various other sources.
Current versions of Sun Studio require a special version of NetBeans -- you can't use the generic NB that you get from netbeans.org with the compilers and debugger. You can of course install the generic NB in addition to the one that comes with Sun Studio, and use it for other purposes. For example, on my system I installed the current NB in a directory parallel to the one used by Sun Studio.
Future versions of Sun Studio will use a generic NetBeans, eliminating this particular inconvenience.

What happened to the Developer Exchange?

It look like a backup from the 17th of Feb was restored.
Is all of our work lost?
How often is the Exchange DB backed-up?
Ben

Hi Ben,
I posted a full explanation to this question in the LabVIEW General Insights .
As to your question about lost work, for many posts that were created after the 17th, we lost the association with the user name. A question, like this one for example, was replicated back from our NNTP newsgroups (comp.lang.labview) and we lost both the user name the post ID. So, we won't be able to record this in your stats, and you won't receive an email notification of my response.
We back up the Developer Exchange nightly. We decide to revert
to a backup from the 17th because our research indicated that this would be the safest back-up to restore.
We're now working on ways to mitigate the risk of the error occurring again.
I do apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused.
Regards,

I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop. Running 10.10.1. What happened to it? Where did it go?

I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop. It is not in the menu under the Apple logo. It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
Can someone please explain what happened to it?
Where did it go?
Why?
Thank you!
Storm Petrol

The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

What happens when there is a conflict between develop settings stored in file metadata, and the catalog?

Hello,
Wondering if someone could quickly help me with understanding how develop settings are read back into lightroom... (I'm using lightroom 3.6) as I've just had a bit of a panic that my mis-understanding of the system might have screwed things up a bit!
As I do all my image tinkering on a laptop with a small disk, I am often archiving directories of images to an old server we have, and then just bringing them back onto my laptop whenever I need them again. I have a single lightroom catalog on my laptop, and I thought (I now think wrongly!) that all my develop settings updates were stored solely in the lightroom catalog on my laptop, and as long as I kept a copy of the original jpeg images knocking around somewhere so that I could restore them to my laptop when needed, that I could always get back to the most recently edited version of my images. Often I copied a directory of images from the server to the laptop, edited them with lightroom, then deleted the jpg files from the laptop thinking the originals left on the server would be sufficient to restore my work later.
However recently just before deleting a batch of jpgs from the laptop, I did a quick compare with the server and was horrified to realise that the files where different, and that changes *are* written to the jpeg files! Looking in lightroom I have the 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG [etc] files' turned on.
My questions would be:
1 - Have I lost work by effectively deleting the metadata from the jpeg files or is it also preserved in the catalog?
2 - What would happen if some develop settings for an image were stored in the catalog, and a completely different set of develop settings were stored in the file - which would take priority?
3 - Have I screwed up and if so is there anything I can do to minimise the damage? : {
Many thanks for any advice!!
Nicola

1. Lightroom ALWAYS stores the edits in its catalog file.
2. Lightroom ALWAYS uses the edits in its catalog file. The information stored in the JPG is NEVER used to display the image in Lightroom.
3. As long as you don't eliminate the photo from the catalog, you are fine, your edits are present in the catalog file and Lightroom will use those to display the image.
As I do all my image tinkering on a laptop with a small disk, I am often archiving directories of images to an old server we have, and then just bringing them back onto my laptop whenever I need them again.
If you have moved the photos to the server, using Lightroom (or using Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders), there's no need to bring them back to your laptop. You can leave the photos on the server, and access them on the server, and everything works properly

Last night, mail suddenly lost all my emails, which were stored in mailboxes. What happened and how can I find my lost files? I have the latest MacBookPro, running Lion 10.7.2 all software updates installed

Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!

1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them, that my Iphone or receiving 5 supports 4G LTE,
Thank you for your attention

Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.

It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

What happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?

It was reformatted by the new 5000 characters per post limit
I am busy working on a solution to split them and move each part to its own respecting sub-development forum - but have not got to it yet. Sorry for being slow.
The FAQ and memorable discussions thread in the Security Forum is affected as well, but there is only one forum... :-((
Any creating ideas on how to fix that one (other than removing information from it)?
Cheers,
Julius

Actually it is happening since couple of week. Might be you have found yourself in this situation now.
Also there are two thread already open on the same. Perhaps you missed them.
Improper display of threads
And outstandingly "what happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?" Nice Subject Line
Perhaps, It looks [Line of the day|Re: Line of the day!] !!
P.S. Subject tempered (Or Perhaps corrected)....;-)
Anyways,
@ Julius: Since there is 5000 Characters Limit has been introduced for keeping the forum neat, undersized and informative as much as possible rather than long bulky programs.
But My Question is What about the Programs and Threads which had already been posted in last 5-6 Years of SDN(now SCN)?
I can see all the previous threads also have been affected!
So Does SAP having any Programmer In their team of Michael Goeck or David Branan(Who is working from behind the scene ) to introduced the restriction of 5K chars based on Date?!?
Cheers

"unknown software exception (0x40000015)" on CC update. What happened?

I have no idea when in the update process it failed. An information window was on the screen when I returned to the computer.
It gives an exception number (0x40000015) and a location: 0x001e54a0.
And an "OK" button to terminate the application.
How can I determine what happened? What programs are affected?
thanks for any help
Peter

Hi petermclennan,
Please restart your machine and try updating again. If still the same error then kindly uninstall and reinstall CC desktop. Refer the article: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
Additionally refer the thread: Unknown software exception 0x40000015 Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums.

What happened?! I moved and now software won't read my MIDI controller?

Exactly that. I moved and when I put together my computer, Mbox2, and Korg MIDI controller none of the software will read it!?!!
I went to Reason and Logic and they both say check your device and/or connection. Can't detect anything.
MIDI cable works, power works... I dunno what happened :<

Develop presets: after preset "updated" what happens to all existing references?

Testing the develop preset "Update with current settings" I've noticed that the existing images referencing the updated preset do not change. If you click the associated history steps before/after then the image updates.
Is this "correct" or is this a bug? If it is correct, what is the point of "Update with current settings"?
Related question: what happens to images referencing a preset that one deletes in the preset pane?

When a preset is created, it stores the current level of the chosen parameters at the time of creation; in the example below, the preset which will be named CurrentPreset1 will store the current levels applied to the selected photo at the time the preset was created, and in this case will only store values corresponding to Color, Lens Corrections, and Process version.
To update the values recorded in a preset, the various levels must be changed on the currently selected photo and then the "Update with current settings" must be selected on the preset to update. The "Update with current settings" therefore updates the preset itself with new values corresponding to the values set in the current photo and has nothing to do with how it was applied to photos in the past. A preset is not related in any way to photos on which it is applied; a preset simply applies the set values recorded in the preset on the selected photo as if these same values would be manually entered for the selected photo.
