What'sgoing to happen to this forum??

Now that most of Creator's functionality is available in Netbeans Visual Web Pack, what's going to happen to this forum? I imagine there's overlap between Netbeans forums and this one, but long term, are there plans to consolidate what is clearly a converging community? I'd hate to have the knowledge chain broken by confusion in the ranks...

Java Studio Creator isn't going away. Creator and VWP serve different but overlapping communities. Each product has its own channel for providing community support. Creator has this forum and VWP uses the [email protected] alias, accessible through http://www.netbeans.org/community/index.html. To clarify the relationship between the two closely related products, see the FAQ " Should we all move to NetBeans Visual Web Pack now from Java Studio Creator?" at http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/VwpFAQShouldwemigrate

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM?

What is the point of this forum when over half the questions go unanswered?
In fact, what is the point of creating and selling a product that so many people can't even install without an expert looking over their shoulder?
This really sucks! I am really sorry that I elected a major in Oracle Development.

Erin,
There are reasons for doing controlled releases, and your implementation experience with prior upgrades is one of them.
Doing an upgrade requires the management of the underlying repository, the underlying repository has changed significantly from 309 to 902 owing to the introduction of OID and other significant changes to the architecture.
Running a controlled release allows Oracle to ensure that the final upgrade scripts when made publicly available are as solid and bug-free as possible whilst allowing those customers who wish to upgrade sooner rather than later and take part in the feedback process can do so with the knowledge that Oracle can help them should they come across any issues.
We currently have over 150 customers running the upgrade scripts and providing feedback, so much so that we are hoping to release them publicly in the very near future.
On another note, I should point out that in your post you are referring to DB upgrade versions and not Application Server upgrade versions..

What's Going On With This Forum? Posted comments wait for a moderator

They wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
Whose policy is this to screen everything before allowing posts to show up? Is that a Toshiba policy? What is Toshiba afraid of? If this is a Toshiba policy, I object. I object very strongly. Strongly enough that I'm just about tempted to pack up the mini notebook and ship it back to B&H and buy a different brand where the manufactor doesn't censor the support forum.
Let's see if this shows up.

Hello Edmund
To be honest I don't understand your question. As I can see you have posted 40 times until now.
Be honest and tell us how often you saw message like this:
*Please note, your reply will need to be approved by a moderator before it is posted in the forum.*
Probably first time now. I have noticed that sometimes forum is closed for postings but there must be some reason why moderator do this. At the moment you can write what you want.
There is no reason for panic or comments about Toshiba policy.
Every serious forum has own policy and this forum is more than serious. Isnt it?
So it is nothing unusual and it can be done due to some technical or any other reason.
Look a little bit what people write here and you will find very critical postings but nothing is blocked or edited by Toshiba so I think this forum is free and democratic. Your posting is also published.
In my opinion it is the best evidence that your critic and opinion about this forum and Toshiba forum policy is completely unjustified. Do you agree with me?
Good luck!

What is the function of this forum?

I have been following this forum since I bought an Xperia Neo V and this was about three months ago. From the time I started reading threads on, I just see the same problems are being told again and again, and almost none of them could be able to find a solution. If Sony wouldn't listen to customers, why did they started this forum?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

that's interesting, you based it on only 3months and you didn't looked on all the threads that are marked as answered, to each it's own, if that's your opinion
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Hi,
why some of my questions are removed by stupid Rob Burbank.
the only one who removes questions is stupid rob, i think.

> PS - stupid huh: Re: Read dataset problem
Just a little tweak here to share a tip with the gurus: The authorization checks for dataset operations are not voluntary. They are performed (again) by the kernel when the ABAP statements are used and you cannot "workaround" them nor debug them either.
So... before the OPEN DATASET, you should call FM AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET to verify that the user's program context and the path hook is authorized for the action, and then either react to it or continue if okay Otherwise it short dumps anyway.
There is a little gem in there to make your life easier as well, but we don't want to bore Dilek with such skills of the craft now do we...
Cheers,

What did They Do To This Forum?

What happened to the Apple Support Communities? I don't understand it at all.
It used to be so helpful, but, not anymore!
Will they ever change back to a more user friendly format?

Yes there has been a radical change and there are still many issues to be addressed and rectified.

But slowly things are improving.
Um, no they are not.
You can safely assume it will be several months before a status quo level will be achieved. I base this on my personal experience on system design and implementation.
That is if there is anyone still in this catastrophe of a forum when / if they fix it.
Try to be patient.
I'm definitely NOT going to hold my breath waiting for this mess to be fixed.
And maintain a sense of humor.
The only thing I find funny about all of this, is that Apple thought they were making a step forward, when they really just alienated most of the people on the forum.

HT201077 My photos stopped going to my PC photo stream. What could have happened for this to happen?

Photos were going to my PC photo stream & suddenly stopped around the first week of October. Don't know if this was when my iphone 4 & ipad updated to the ios-7.

The following is from this Apple Document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
You need Mt. Lion in order to use Shared Photo Streams.

What is the Purpose of this Forum?

If it is to reduce traffic by driving people away, forcing them to log on simply to read to see if there is an answer to their question, or to see if there is a question they might be able to answer, then you guys are on the right track!
If the original idea of having people help each other is still around, forcing them to log in just to read is "dumb as a bag of hammers" (local expression).
Have seen this brain-dead stunt pulled in other forums (e.g. OCWORKBENCH) - after a few weeks, they usually figure it out.
Sheesh.

Who are you talking to?

One can take many opinions, and make observations but sarcastic posts like this don't belong in these forums and I wont tolerate them here, it does nothing but start problems. If you have problems with the way MSI does things then I suggest you take it somewhere else, because no one from MSI will see this. You've been told before that this is a user to user forum and you know the rules.
This thread is closed for obvious reasons.

What Exactly is Happening in this Program???

Hello All,
Here is a Program,
package myDemo;
public class MyOverRidingDemo {
     public MyOverRidingDemo() {
          super();
          // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
          A obj=new B();
          obj.add();
          System.out.println("Value Of I : "+obj.i);
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          new MyOverRidingDemo();
class A {
     int i=10;
     public void add(){
          System.out.println("Add() in Class A");
class B extends A {
     int i=20;
     public void add(){
          System.out.println("Add() in Class B");
When i run this program, the out put is as follows :
Add() in Class B
Value Of I : 10
It is pretty clear that B is overriding the add() method of Class A.
When an instance of B is made and assigned to a variable of type A,
obj.add() should refer to add of B
and obj.i should refer to i of B.
but over here..why is it Referring to i Of A???

Because both classes have their own copy of int i.
Remove it from the subclass and make the add method change it somehow and you'll see the difference.
And of course the obj.i refers to A's i value since property access isn't dynamic and obj's type is A, not B.

This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
Chime in.

The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING! Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL. I can't. But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support". These are very valid comments. But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL. In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users. Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost? That's up for individuals to decide.
I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

When I went to bed I had 3,000 song and multiple playlists. This morning I have ~30 songs and no playlists. What could have happened to my songs playlists? I run iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. HELP! (oh, and the Songs are not in recycle bin)

My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
When she went running with it, there were no songs on it. She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.

What are rules of etiquette for this forum?

I have posted a few basic questions in recent times about java programming issues. Right now I am using JBuilder2005. I am relatively new to the Java progarmming community, and I don't know if JB2005 is considered evil over say, WebSphere, Eclipse, etc. But responses I have received for my basic questions (which I ended up finding my own answers to) have been less than friendly.

You gots to be crazy if you think I'm helping you with your assing. Whats JB2005 anyway? Whatever it is, it sounds like its an impediment to you knowing whats going on. Try looking in your web.xml and actually understanding how servlets work.

I have received responses similar to this for other posts where people are conscientiously steering me in the wrong direction. Well, I am not posting to ruffle any feathers, but since I have not seen any specific rules on what to post/not post other than no disruptive stuff, my question is if this forum is like a Pay forum and/or an anti Borland forum (vs a forum for exchanging information on Java programming).
While I'm at it I am trying to use a DataExpress control from JB2005 to connect to an Access Database (for practice - we have Oracle but I am practicing on Access). I select the driver
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
then it asks for the URL, it gives me this option in the ...:
jdbc:odbc:MS Access Database
so where do I add the location of the mdb file? I can't get the control to connect. I can connect to Access if I just use code and read/insert rows of data, but I want to use a DataExpress TableDataSet control so I can load it up with rows of data from a database file in a client application. I can load up an html table of data in a servlet for display . But how can I display data the same way in a client app?
Is this forum even the correct forum for me to ask this question - or should I look for a Borland forum?
Thanks.

Apple is more likely to see your comments if you send feedback via:

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Other issues:
- https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
- If you encounter error -42408:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - including specific error codes.
Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184
