Who is providing support on this forum? user-to-user or what?

In a recent post
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b70230/33
I felt abused for people that usually "give support" on these forums...
specially for one of them whose name is "PDL"
He/she systematically refuses to say if he/she is with Adobe or not.
I understand this is an Adobe's hosted user-to-user forum
I think we have the right to know who's who here..
Adobe; I want to contact PDL's supervisor to present a complain
Adobe; your support here should be more transparent.

Hi patpat,
I disagree. You DO NOT have the right to anyone's personal information here. And your post is totally inappropriate...
From the Forum Guidelines-
Don't perpetuate off-topic threads. If someone makes an inappropriate or "spam" post, please don't add more noise by replying to the forum. Criticize the poster in private e-mail if you must. Adobe will delete spam postings from the Online Forums.
I'm violating this myself by even posting a response to your "spam" but I'm hoping a moderator will see this, as well as your dozens of other "spam" posts and BAN you from posting here at all.
Good Bye,

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

To anyone in product management and tech support monitoring this forum

Since it would appear this is the "official" conduit to tech support now at SAS I am posting this here.
You've lost me as an Xcelsius 2008 user and it only took 24 hours to do so.
As I've posted to a few places on this board, the upgrade process had errors for me, and 2008 suddenly became unable to load per my post to this forum OVER 36 HOURS ago which has received 0 responses from anyone within tech support or SAS. New software I debated over spending my $ on. Decided to, and within a few hours I could not use it. And NO way to get anyone to assist in troubleshooting.
I'm not a newbie to development, with over 20 years developing hardware and software solutions for very demanding telephone operator customers around the world. I understand bugs, the need for patches, etc. although I do seriously question how stable this release really is. I mean if upgrades to existing 4.5 pro loads have issues dealing with Microsoft libraries, I do have to question how thoroughly tested this release really is.
What has completely destroyed my faith in Business Objects / SAS is the lack of any type of technical support per your new policies which just went into effect. I paid for the upgrade, downloaded the code, installed it (albeit with issues), lost the ability to run the code almost immediately, and went into a dark hole with no way out!
The telesales rep (who I'll let remain nameless less he get into trouble for helping) has been very professional and helpful. I wish I could say the same for others - but there are no others - just this forum to try and get help on. (and thanks to those that did respond - no offense intended, but where are the "official" SAS reps on this board and how can issues like mine where I am completely dead on a new install be highlighted and escalated for resolution?)
This is a business app, run by business users trying to do their jobs. I cannot fathom how SAS can and will be successful with Xcelcius if there is not some ability to receive priority (and yes, FREE) support - especially for install issues on code just purchased! Talk about creating severe buyer's remorse! I understand customer / techical service is expensive. I've built global call centers over my career for this purpose, and it's a fine line to walk between being able to provide a level of support expected by most customers, and also trying to not support the users for free who are perfectly content to spend hours each day on the phone with your highly professional reps basically having their work done for them.
But to not be able to get a response on a brand new install that has gone terribly wrong - and receive that response in a timely manner is just flat out wrong. It's a $1k software package - not freeware!
So for now, I'll drop back to 4.5 (although I must admit part of me is wondering how much of our dashboard work can now be done without your software. Bad taste in my mouth at this point) and chalk up the hours lost this week to a really bad experience with your company.
Comment if you will, but please take this comment to heart. I had the guts to write it. Wonder how many others are just not saying anything at all?

Fully Agree!
Waiste of time and money. I am sooooo, pissed off. Zero technical support, lack of confidence in this product. I used the 4,5 version- much better and reliable vs. this Engage2008 piece of software.....
I would NOT recommend buying it on all the other forums I am active on.
TOMORROW is the deadline for SP1 - I hope they don't have the guts of asking money for it.

A really basic question from a medic who has no place on this forum!

Hi
I am writing to beg your indulgence as to my lack of knowledge and to ask for help with what I think is a simple problem, but I am sure has a complicated solution!
I have created a self contained flash program on prescribing to help doctors improve their skills and to make less errors.
I did this in powepoint and used a program call PPT to flash by wondershare to create the flash programme.
Now that the restriction has been eased, I would love to convert this programme to an iphone / ipad app, as well as for other portable pay mediums.
Is it possible to do this with what I have created? What I mean is, would I need to create and code from scratch to then package as an iphone app, or can it be ripped from what I have already created?
If this is possible, what software do I need to purchase to do this?
thanks so much for all your help
Morris

Since no one has answered you, I thought I would chime in in case any of it is useful. I am not 100% certain of what I say here, but it's probably the case.
I have not used any PPT to SWF software like you mention and am not familiar with it. But from my knowledge, if it is published to a FlashPlayer 10.x SWF (which I doubt - because many of these swf decompiler programs use older Flashplayer versions) then yes, in theory you should be able to do it.
If that is the case you would need:
1) an Apple iPhone Developer's account that you buy and get accepted for
2) Flash CS5
3) iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad as a testing device
4) iTunes synced to your device
and then you could run the Packager with the appropriate DRM signing (from your Apple Dev acct) and turn the SWF into an IPA. Then you use iTunes to sync the app to the device and install it.
That all being said, if your original app was done in something (forgive me for saying this) as clunky as Powerpoint (it's not exactly a great rich interactive development tool) then it could easily be redone natively in Flash itself - coding it in ActionScript 3 and then create a SWF itself and then export that to the iOS devices. That way you have one less translation occuring. It seems like you are asking for trouble to convert PPT to SWF and then to IPA, and I would guess depending on what you've done, either easy enough to do natively in flash, or possibly even if the double-porting you suggest *does* work then it is unlikely Apple would approve it for the app store if it doesn't meet the new app approval criteria.
You probably need to find a local Flash developer to help you with this.
Hope that helps

To Adobe : Please add point system to this forum like SAP forum

Adding point system to this forum will encourage and
recognize people who is doing good work in this forum.
Add positive and negative point system.
SDN SAP forum is using point system effectively.
It shows who got maximum point this week, who got maximum
point this month, till today who got maximum points.
Points are give by people who ask questions based on correct
answer. If answer is correct, 1 point is awarded.
wrong answer and arrogant answer -1 point.
We need to recognize people who help others. This will be a
good start to make this forum interesting and user friendly.

Dude wrote:
As far as I understand, the suggestion to get rid of the point system means that there is a problem with people giving bad answers and participating just for the sake of collecting points, and that the overall quality of the forum would improve if there was no scoring system.
I think this is wrong for the following simple reasons:
It takes too much effort to gather the necessary points to eventually create any level of visibility. People who are just after points will loose interest when they realize how difficult it is to get points. It simply does not pay off.
There is no such formula which shows that people who enjoy the scoring system provides bad answers and those who do not provide good answers. I find such ideas discriminating and lobbying.
People have individual motives why they actively participate in the forum. Removing the scoring system will most likely not only affect the desired group of people. It might suit those who think their contributions to the forums are underrated and undermined and hence removing the scoring system removes the evidence.
To my experience, the likeliness of bad answers and possible wrong judgements based on the perceived status of a person may depend on the forum topics and is no real problem. Last not least, there is usually an option to outline wrong answers or judgement, regardless of the scoring system.Your passion towards this community is admirable, and I certainly wouldn't want to alienate those who both enjoy the scoring system and helping others. If it's really that important to some of the experts around here, then perhaps you are right. But, since the issue does seem to be polarized among others that have been around as long as yourself, it seems that the answer is really not so clear-cut. We'll probably just have to agree to disagree on this one.
I marked your response as helpful. ;)

Deleting tablespace (is ok in this forum?)

First of all is this the okey forum for this question?
- I had a disk failure - I recovered the DB - I tried to delete the tablespace with the error but I got this message, I looked up in the manual and it says this but I don't know how to do it:
ORA-29857 domain indexes and/or secondary objects exist in the tablespace
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a tablespace which contains secondary
objects and/or domain indexes.
Action: Drop the domain indexes in his tablespace. Also, find the domain
indexes which created secondary objects in this tablespace and drop them. Then
try dropping the tablespace.
thanks for any kind of clue
bye

million... does it? Maybe it does. There are a lot of
people who get a user ID and ask us to post the code
for face recognition or something like that, then are
never heard from again.and interestingly based on the id's the first member to have registered and who did post atleast one message posted his first message on Jul 21, 2005 2:16 AM

Photoshop-not supported on this type of Mac-Late 2011 MacBook Pro

Photoshop refuses to open on my computer, a late 2011 model MacBook Pro. This particular computer is running OSX 10.8.3, has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and 8 GB of RAM.
When I try to open it, I receieve a "not supported on this type of Mac" error. What's going on here? Creative Cloud is basically useless if it won't work such a recent computer.

Does your Mac have a 64-bit processor?

After the recent iPhoto upgrade, I've completely lost access to the application and my photos and it says that its not supported on this version of Mac. Any idea whats gone wrong?

After a recent upgrade, I've completely lost iPhotos and all my pholto files.
It now comes up with 'You cant open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac'
Any ideas whats gone wrong?

Reinstall it:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

When asking a question on the Premiere Pro user-to-user forums, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)).
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.5"---not just "Mac".
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Has this ever worked before?
What other software are you running?
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about your GPU, any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU) and the type of media drives you are using.
What kind of GPU do you have installed, including make, model number, and GPU driver?
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
Do you still have the issue when choosing Project Settings > General > Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine (Software Only)?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Screenshots and sample movies are often very useful in showing exactly what you're seeing, and can thus make getting an answer faster and easier.
Also, please do everyone a favor and check the Premiere Pro FAQ list and also do a quick Premiere Pro Community Help search to see if your question has been addressed already.

Try contacting support directly. Be sure to ask for the video queue: Contact Customer Care

Why can't this forum be monitored & supported by Blackberry Waterloo smarts? Counting on users does not provide enough answers...

Hi sydneyp,
Unfortunately there is no Mobile App for the Blackberry Forums, However there is a mobile version of the site if it isn't accessible by the built in browser I would recommend downloading and trying another browser like Opera this will give you access to the Mobile version of the forums
I hope this helps

EXP-00105: parameter CONSISTENT is not supported for this user

Hi,
I have use Oracle 10g on unix platform
i have export is taken from following command
exp \'/ as sysdba\' file=t.dmp full=y buffer=10485760 log=0101.log CONSISTENT=y statistics=none
export is sucessfull but one warning
EXP-00105: parameter CONSISTENT is not supported for this user
if i have use without CONSISTENT parameter then export is successfull ,
why EXP-00105 error occured ?

As per Oracle Error Notes:
EXP-00105: parameter string is not supported for this user
Cause: The user attempted to specify either CONSISTENT or OBJECT_CONSISTENT when connected as sysdba.
Action: If a consistent export is needed, then connect as another user.
Looks likE the SYS user cannot do a transaction level consistent read (read-only transaction). You could have performed this by SYSTEM user or any DBA priviliged user to to take the complete export of your DB.
Anyway, for more information the error "EXP-00105", please take a look into the same question on another Oracle related forums.
