Why are people so rude and snippy to other members rather than helping them?

I only joined this forum yesterday and already i have seen members be so rude and condescending to other members that are just trying to help. I thought as a community you are here to help each other not tear strips off others and put them down.
Whats the deal with that? I am no techy by any means but this is a COMMUNITY.

As in any community, many people are pleasant, friendly and helpful/grateful, while a small percentage are terse or outright rude. Also, what in some cases what can seem rude is a language or cultural difference cropping up. It's certainly true that people sometimes take out their frustration with their problems with those trying to help, though in my experience there are thankfully few who are truly abusive.
If you see what you believe to be unacceptable behavior, you can provide a link to the offending post in the Using Communities forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/using_apple_support_communities
and the Communities Hosts can take a look and if necessary edit or delete the post.

Why are my mail attachments embedding in the mail doc. rather than showing up as an attachment

after upgrading to Lion 10.7.2. It seems my mail document attachments are embedding in the email, rather than showing up as an attachment. How do I resolve this?

There's been a lot of discussion on this. Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments. When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case.
There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want. I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

Why are a lot of HR cubes a full update rather than delta?

Hi all,
What might be the best technical reason one can give for; a lot of SAP delivered cubes for HR (like Benefits, staffing assignments, headcount, qualifications) are full update rather than delta. Is it best to keep it that way or make them delta ?
Also none of these cubes have SAP delivered ODS with it, so is it a good idea to keep an ODS layer or an enterprise data warehousing layer?
Can someone share some ideas,
Thanks for inputs in advance,

Delta not depend on cubes, deltas depend on extractors then the issue is not cubes without deltal else extractor without deltas.
I don't know exactly what is the reason but surely was that HR has not change document for some of HR data. (neither alternative method like CO-PA or LIS).

Why are people so crazy about XML publisher?

Why are people so crazy about XML publisher? Maybe there are things I am not aware of, but with the exception of adding the ability to export to Excel from EBS, or having a template for a letter in which a few things will change from copy to copy, I don't see a huge advantage to using it.
Reports is such a powerful tool and creates so much flexibility in creating graphical documents. Things that are so easy to do in reports, from my experience, is extremely difficult to impossible in XML publisher. In publisher, you have to do a lot of logic yourself that reports would do for you just by saying Yes or No to a property.
When I first learned about XML publisher, I was really excited about learning to use it. But when I saw how difficult it is to do simple tasks, and how much you have to reinvent the wheel, I became really disappointed. There are lots of examples on the web about how to do this or how to do that with it, but honestly they seem to show you how to go to a lot of trouble to accomplish something that is easy in reports.
People seem to want to avoid bitmapped reports like the plague, but I think they are extremely underrated.
What do you guys think? Am I missing something? I would like to hear other opinions and perspectives.
Thanks,
Kurz

Why are people asking for certain model numbers

why are people asking question such as this ? Hi I was wondering if you could send me the model number of this item I am looking for a specific Model and want to make sure before I bid. The model I'm looking for is G3 the model number will start like this CGN5

Go to this link and you will see that WRT54G/GS models from version 1 to version 5 are diferent if you look at the amount of RAM and Flash they contain.
More RAM and Flash is better of course.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?

Hi there,
I got the program below. I am wondering why are the threads start and terminate randomly? Everytime, I run the program, it produces different results.
I know that these four threads have got same normal priority (should be 5), and under windows there is something called timeslice. Then these four threads rotate using this timeslice. How do we know what exactly the timeslice is in seconds? If the timeslice is fix, then why the results are ramdom?
Thanks in advance!

public class MyThreadOne implements Runnable {
String tName;
Thread t;
MyThreadOne(String threadName) {
tName = threadName;
t = new Thread(this, tName);
t.start();
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName);
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Exception: Thread "

System.out.println("Terminating thread: " + tName);
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?
new MyThreadOne("1");

new MyThreadOne("4");
try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
// Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
1. Firstly, I set in the main function:
Thread.sleep(10000);
and I run the program it gives:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Run it again, it gives:
Thread: 2
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
And my question was why it outputs like this? It suppose to be:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Why these four threads start and finish randomly each time I run the program? I use Windows, suppose there is a timeslice (i.e. 1 second), these threads have the same priority. Then the threads should start and finish in turn one by one. Am I right?
2. My second question is:
When I change the codes in the 'main' function into:
Thread.sleep(10000); -> Thread.sleep(2000);
it gives me the results like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
Run it again:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
I tried several times. The main thread always terminates before or after the first child thread finished.
My question is why it doesn't output something like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
or
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)

After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.
Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

Why is it when I enter a birthday date for a contact as the 12th of November 1993 that the birthday appears as the 11th of November and as the 19th birthday rather than the correct 20th?

Yoor post is very confusing. AOL's iPad magazine is called "Editions" and it's free. "The Daily" is put out by TheDailyHolding and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You've already posted in another thread where the solution was given. Other people seem to have manged to get unsubscribed.
Best of luck.

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

Hi,
why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

Hi Ghallsa,
I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all. I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space. You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails. There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind. But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage. This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less. It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
good luck,

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.
