What is the point exactly in "my Stuff" on OVI sto...

I have had to hard reset my N97 Mini due to the now infamous invalid server error when connecting by wifi.
I took a full phone backup before doing this, but on restoring it - I find that none of my paid apps are on the phone. Plenty of free ones but no paid for ones.
So I thought, no problem - My Stuff on OVI Store.
Wrong ...... the apps are all there but with no download again option ......... just a pay option.
So, let's see if I'm right?
Nokia fail to address a long standing design flaw, making the only option to hard reset. Then they give flawed backup software in PC Suite, then make money out of their sheer incompetance by charging you twice for your apps. Amazing - you couldn't make it up!
As always, there is no contact telephone number or email address to speak to human on, throughout the OVI store. So Nokia get away with it again! Next time my phone contact is up I definitely won't be buying a Nokia.
You lot should be ashamed of yourselves - sharp practice in the extreme ........... and we're ONLY customers aren't we?
If you want to make money out of incompetance, my advice is buy Nokia shares.
I wonder if someone from Nokia will read this and actually get their fingers out and do something about it?
I won't be holding my breath!

What's the point of iCloud

Unless I misunderstood, I have to pay to get all my music to be pushed to all my devices (iTunes Match) and I have to buy iWork for my iPhone (even though I already have it on my Mac) in order to get those documents pushed to the cloud. (It makes more sense to stick with iWork beta!)
I feel like Apple is nickling and diming its loyal customers.
So, essentially, iCloud is useless! I thought it would be a great way to free up space on my hard drive; I could just store my documents and music in the cloud.
My question is: what is the point of iCloud? Honestly, what does it do? It just pushes stuff between your devices? I genuinely don't understand the point of it.

Here we go... Yet another 'loyal' Apple customer who seems to think that because they've bought one Apple product, Apple should forever let them have new products and services for free.
The real problem here is that Apple has no long-term commitment to support anything it makes. It wasn't that long ago that MobileMe (which was not free) came into existence and now it is already being dumped in favor of iCloud, which lacks the iDisk, remote access to Time Capsules and personal websites. It's a step backwards and a disservice to those of us who were using some or all of those MobileMe features.
Apple's product cycles, both hardware and software, are too short to be of use to anyone but those who like to play. Forget about trying to run a business from Apple products these days.
That is exactly right.
In my own small home network we 7 Macs all being synced through MobileMe. Only two of these Macs can run Lion and doing so would mean no longer being able to use applications that our clients still use so it would mean loss of these clients. Not to mention the cost of replacing at least 5 of or Macs.
Then there are businesses that have dozens of Macs or sometimes even hundreds of Macs along with gigs and gigs of data that Macs running Lion can't access. So even ignoring the huge cost of replacing al these Macs with newer Macs there is still the issue of Macs running Lion not being able to run needed applications.
With MobileMe one could buy a newer Mac running Lion and it would still be able to sync with older Macs but now it is all or nothing.
At least one design shop that I do work for is now replacing their Macs with Windows machines since these computers can run older software and also be able to sync with iOS devices using iCloud. At least a dozen other places that I do business are considering doing the same thing.

What's the point of updates - if..

Why do the upgrades tend to mess up my other applications? DVD Studio Pro - Bluetooth. I just feel what's the point of getting upgrades now. I did the Pro Application Support application which did take care of my DVD SP - however shouldn't upgrades be exactly that - UPGRADING - not have causes more problems. Taking time away from the work that needs to be done. Sorry - just had to rant a bit.

If you do a search on these forums it would probably boil down to doing these things.
Permissions Repair
Whenever a program that's installed places items into the /Library folder and Applications folder, it often has to amend permissions in order to do so which is why authenticating as an 'Admin' user is required so that it's able to carry out these amendments and place files where they should be and have their correct permissions assigned. Sometimes this change is not always corrected and may affect other programs operation. To help reduce side affects like normal User account being able to change and delete programs in the 'Applications' folder. Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities has a 'Permissions Repair' routine which ensures that the proper permissions are assigned based on their package rules.
Cron Scripts
These are scripts which the OS usually initiates itself, but performing them manually by using the Terminal can be beneficial.
Good programs worth looking into are, Onyx available at www.macupdate.com
Running it's maintenance scripts means you don't have to go into the Terminal manually and it does it's stuff very well, I've used it since 10.2 and never had a problem with it, it's updated regular, it's free and better than similar programs doing the same both free and those that charge.
Safe Boot
Starting up the computer after the chime and holding the 'Shift' key down, runs the fsck command, which verifies and fixes any problems with a startup volume, though not all, it also deletes the font cach and databases, so some issues with fonts can be helped by doing this, also if you seem to be getting conflicts in software, this can help to make sure the Apple components are working fine as it only loads the minimum 'kexts' and drivers so the computer operates, almost the equivalent in OS9 but not exactly.
There's lots more but doing these few things can help keep a system in shape, especially if no time was spent doing it beforehand. A note though, doing Permissions repair is not part of a 'Regular' maintenance routine, if you see message like 'Do not have permission' then it's worth doing it then.

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//Cheers

Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

Declaring constructor method public or private. What's the point?

My book declares the constructor method public. I tried declaring it private, and without any modifier out of curiousity. It runs exactly the same. What's the point of doing so?
public class test
     public static void main( String[] args )
          test fun = new test();
          test fun2 = new test(2);
          System.out.println( fun );
//          System.out.println( test.toString() );
     public String toString()
          return "This is the toString";
     test()
          System.out.println( "This is the constructor method" );
     test( int x )
          System.out.println( "This is the constructor method: " +x );
}

What's the point of recovery partition when I have to DL the whole thing anyway?

Well I was supposed to sell my Macbook Air today.
I tried booting CMD-R into the recovery partition and instead it went to some online thing.
So then I booted Option, into the recovery partition and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion.
Next thing ya know its got me logging into the Apple Store and now it has a 7 hour download.
So what is the point of the recovery partition if it can't do a fresh copy of Mountain Lion? What exactly is it to help me recover from? What if I was in the hills of Indonesia and tried to do this?
Any now I can't sell this thing until tomorrow as I have a seven hour download wait ahead of me. Had I knows, I would have let that be the new owners problem. Or somehow made a backup of ML previously.
Silly Apple. Always advertising something so great that turns out to be useless.

The silly part is not alerting the user that when you download and install that the .ESD installer package will be deleted and to make a copy of it.
The system you download - guesstimates can be way off - check with speedtest.net - is associated with YOU and your Apple ID and the best thing to do is any OEM material and a blank hard drive - and printout of ML Recovery Mode tech article on doing an internet based install.
Yes you could have setup a 4GB installer flash drive or on your hard drive. Yes they could maintain that 4GB on a larger Recovery partition (it is less than 1GB).

What's the point of movie creator?

What is the point of movie creator if I can't edit or create my own movie? All it does is select it's genre (weekly,monthly,yearly ect) and compose it's own movie. To me it's a useless app either that or I'm a simpleton and haven't explored it enough to figure it out properly.

@Antman87 I felt exactly the same after I got my Z3 Compact.... but soon after, in February, I made a trip to the beach with my wife, son and his godfather, and after I took many pictures and videos for the day (including pool pictures, timeshift videos, etc) the app created an incredible mix with awesome music and almost perfect selection of my media... I was shock, so I fiddled with the app a little bit more and replace a couple of pics with others better related and the results were simply great...
After that I realize that the app has encouraged me to share those moments with friends and family (I upload them to facebook) since it is extremely simple to use and at the same time the videos are short (around 30 secs) so you will not bore everyone with 5 minutes clips...
On the other hand I do wish it included better editing tools or at least integrated the ones found on the device (photo/movie editor from Album) so we could have more control of what and how it's being displayed...
Anyway I will not post publically my family videos, but I recently made one of me parasailing with my Z3 Compact tied to my wrist! and that one I uploaded to YouTube... Take a look... Parasailing with my Xperia Z3 Compact
Here are a couple of screenshots from the original video...
I love Movie Creator... hopefully it keeps getting better

AirPlay: forgive me but what's the point?

In our place we have a first generation Apple TV, a few Macs, a couple iPhones, and an iPad. We use our iMac to stream and sync content to Apple TV. Anything we put on our iPad/iPhones content-wise almost always comes from our iMac where everything is stored.
I'm wondering, what's the point of AirPlay in this scenario? I mean, why would I ever want or need to stream to Apple TV from an iPad or iPhone when all my stuff is stored on my iMac anyway? I'm having a hard time understanding the point of AirPlay, unless it's all about streaming content to OTHER people's Apple TVs when you are away from home... but I don't know if this is even possible.

Well, if absolutely all the photo/video content on your iPhones already exists in iTunes on your imac, then there is no point to Airplay for you.
Myself, I'll be using it to Airplay photos to my big-screen TV from my iPhone 4. I only synch my phone to iTunes maybe once ever 3-4 weeks, so it will be great to snap a photo of my 7-month old son and instantly stream it straight to my TV, without having to plug my phone into my computer, import the photos into iPhoto, and then navigate to the homeshared photo event on my apple tv. Just one button (airplay) on the photo in your iPhone photos app, and it's on the TV. I already tested this and it's great.
And yes, if you ever bring your iphone over to someone else's house and want to show some pics that are on your phone, you can easily do that. Any iOS device will stream to any Airplay device (like ATV) as long as the two devices are on the same wi-fi network. It is possible to setup a password on your apple tv (2nd gen) so that someone with an iOS device must enter the password before being permitted to airplay content to the ATV, but if you don't enable that password then it is a one-touch process to stream your photos.
That said, one feature I thought Airplay would enable, which it apparently doesn't, is the ability to stream the videos in your iPhone's "Photos" app to the ATV. You can airplay the still photos to show a slide show, no problem. But there is simply no airplay button on the videos in your photos app. This is disappointing since I was looking forward to being able to shoot a short video and then instantly stream it to my ATV to show off to my wife or visitors. Apparently, this feature is not enabled.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

What's the point of warranty?

I am a student coming from Hong Kong to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!

seblee,
This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer. Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check. If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
Sorry that you are having this trouble. Will see how we can help.

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.
