Why BlackBerry force BlackBerry users to use BIS

I am unable to understand that why BlackBerry force BlackBerry mobile users to use BIS ( which is so costly ), BlackBerry keep BIS mandatory in its every app like BlackBerry protect, push mail, browser and BlackBerry world. But this is not fair. BlackBerry should leave it on the will of BlackBerry users. Then they can decide whether to use BIS or not. Like Android phone users who enjoy a more richer web facebook and other apps than BlackBerry without a costly GPRS plan like BlackBerry's BIS but only in the normal gprs plan. This time BlackBerry doesn't rock

Hello,
I'm sorry to disagree, but your comparison is not quite equal. Consider email...no other platforms handle email the way BBs do. BBs prior to the Z10 do not have a full on-device email client...rather, they use the BIS infrastructure that is hosted by the carriers and RIM to accomplish true PUSH email from the end user perspective. This involves additional infrastructure dedicated solely to BB users, not usable by any other customers of that carrier. Along with the other BB proprietary services (which also require dedicated infrastructure), this results in a set of infrastructure that is solely used by BB customers...hence, added cost for the BIS plan so as to enable those services.
Many end users indeed have a full choice...newer BBs can function with a generic data plan, but naturally none of the BB-proprietary services will work. But, some carriers will not allow a BB onto their network without a BIS plan...but that is the decision of the carrier, not BlackBerry.
The future is brighter...reports are that BlackBerry10 devices (e.g., the Z10) will not require a BIS plan and will have all BB proprietary services as part of a generic data plan from the carriers.
Good luck!

Is MSN hotmail forcing mac users to use Outlook a problem?

A) Hotmail is forcing its email users to use Outlook.com
B) It needs Microsoft Silverlight
C) Outlook.com is optimized for IE, Chrome 17 & up, Firefox 10 & up, & Safari 5.1
I spent years as a mac user where I couldn't send email out from hotmail because of Microsoft. Is this going to happen again?
I prefer Safari v 6.0.3.

There is no need for that, everything works as it used to, MS changed the name of the service, not anything else.
Safari 6.0.3, and Outlook.com

Do not force tablet users to use the Desktop app before it is ready

Windows 10 is set to launch on July 29. Microsoft is discontinuing Modern Skype on July 7 thus creating the following inconveniences for Windows 8.1 tablet users connected with using the Desktop app: The Desktop app is blurry due to the DPI issuesThe app slides off the screen if the app is maximized and the user scrolls to the end of any listUsers need to use the desktop virtual keyboard which is subpar in numerous aspectsUsers who primarily use the Modern part of Windows 8.1 are forced to use the desktop environmentThere is no way to see any Skype notifications without going to the Desktop which, again, the tablet users don't do very often or don't do at all Every single one of the abovementioned issues isn't minor by any means. We'd understand your decision to make users move to a better app if it was indeed a better app. Please finish the proper Windows 10 integration first (or, at the very least, wait till Windows 10 is released) and then we, the tablet users, would gladly move to a truly better experience.

Thanks for listening. A) Lenovo ThinkPad 8 tablet - Windows 8.1 x64, 8" 1920x1200 screen mostly in portrait mode with 150% zoom for desktop, equipped with LTE mobile connection (that's why Skype connected standby mode support is essential). B) All issues with the desktop version on tablet have been summarized in the first post. I will repeat them again: true optimization for touch devices - I mostly use the chat window, so no menu nor taskbar visible on main (chat) window.fix basic bugs like erratic scrolling, the sliding off main window when scrolling and missing High DPI awareness supportconnected standby support, start screen and live tile notificationssmooth integration of onscreen keyboard, again Windows Store applications can do that onlyNo desktop application on Windows 8.1 can offer the same level of experience on tablets as the existing Modern Skype (Windows Store) one does. That's why the Windows Store applications have been introduced after all. So the easiest solution for both parties is to not kill the Modern Skype app as it continues to live on Windows RT devices. As for Windows 10 upgrade and getting a new Skype universal app (if any, in the future), it does not seem to be well optimized for tablets yet so it is better to stay with very good Windows 8.1 for a while.

I want to force a user to use a particular number series

Hi,
I have setup my journal numbers such that under document numbering setup => Journal enteries I have the following document numbers
Name        Start No    Next No
Primary             1
Transact        400001 400016
Jnls               600001
The default is setup to Transact, so all system journals are posted against this number series (so all transactions effectively). I want one of my users to be able to input journals but they must use the Jnls number series. Unfortunately they are not responsible enough to always check the top left corner of the journal entry screen to make sure they are posting into the correct series.
How can restrict them so that they can only post into this series? (Obviously they need to be able to continuing posting AP/AR invoices which will ultimately be posted against the transact series).
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
Please check in Test if it can help :
Create two Journal Entry series and when you try to SET DEFAULT the series by clicking on Set Default, then you can assign it to specific user or to all the users.
Check if this is what you are looking for.

Icloud on snow leopard... why not? if a PC user can use it, why I can't on my Snow Leopard?

I wonder why a PC user can use iCloud on his PC... and a Mac user can't use iCloud on Snow Leopard... I'm not talking about use it on Tiger or Jaguar... I'm talking about Snow Leopard!!!!
I think you must do something, for the all real Mac user who can't upgrade every time to the latest version.
How you didn't think that there are ppl who work with Mac and not only kill the time like the switchers

The issue is Apple isn't allowing updates because they are ignoring older OS X users.
Apple only fixes the issues in the last two operating system versions in circulation, there are many people still using 10.4 and 10.5 on their Mac's just the way rthey bought them from the store. Come this summer, given current Apple behavior, they will start ignoring 10.6 users as well
My Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro is only 1 year old, but in a few months my 10.6 operating system will become insecure. This is stupid for a $3500 machine!
Sure I could update to 10.7 or 10.8 (waiting for 10.8 actually) but lets say I'm the 90% of the average Apple customers who only run Software Update AT BEST and just use their machine like they do cars, put the gas in and go? Never doing the maintainence?
Is it right for Apple to deny all these users essential security updates? Especially given those links above of the quantiity involved of the patches?
Is it right for Apple to leverage security as a means to force pre-mature hardware turnover?
Apple is a big company and they need to think responsibly and support their OS versions for a proper amount of time.

Blackberry Curve 8900 First time use

Hey ,
I bought my blackberry 4 months ago without using it up till now.
I want to use it so I followed the manual , but my device isn't starting up after 12 hours of charging.
Is this normal , or what should I do about it ? I really need a phone right now.
Yours sincerely Janke

Hello, This is definately not normal! Does the handset seem to charge? If not do you know anyone else with your handset? It might be worth trying a different battery/charger to find out where the fault is. If you're unable to get your hands on one you may be able to go to one of your networks stores to do this. Hope this helps

Why is a new user account created every time I upload files from my old PC. Can't you just use the same user account all the time?

I'm a new Mac user and am finding my way slowly around it. One question: why is a new user account created every time I upload files from my old PC?

Because you're using the Migration Assistant, and it can't migrate data to an existing user account. Transfer everything at once or use a different method.

Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, Why?

A Procedure is distributed by SAP how to Use ”Promotion Management” in a OTAP/ DTAP street.
See Chapter/Secton 05 of this document: https://archivesaptechedhandson.hana.ondemand.com/contentArchive/AP263_Exercises_VHO_FINAL.pdf
This is a very good/useful procedure. This procedure works with an “Enterprise” Account.
In our environment we ONLY work with “Windows AD” accounts. (to keep users management very straight forward.)
We do not get the procedure working with “Windows AD” account.
Our procedures stops at Section: “07.3 Add to VM”:
The selected webi document, within the promotion Job, is not getting "checked in" in Version Management.
After that all other steps are useless.
Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, but Why?
(If we use version managment on the individual webi report, with a windows AD user everyting works fine)

Sebastian,
you showed us the right direction.
We run SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3.
In SAPBO4.1 we had to extend the properties of 2 services:
AdaptiveJobServer and the AdaptiveProcessingServer.
Now we can use windows active directory for promotion management,
thanx.

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"? I want the users to type in a fillable form, but not save their edits on the original form. I want them to be able to save with a different file name.

You can't really force it, but you can encourage it... For example, you can set the file as read-only and add an instruction to do so before the file is saved using a script.

Why doesn't LR let us use embedded/standard previews (at least optionally)?

I bought LR but cannot commit to using it mainly because it is too slow importing and browsing previews but also because LR's previews are worse than the embedded previews in RAW images or JPGs as displayed by other standard programs like Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser or ADCSee.
I shoot Canon RAW (then convert the CR2s to DNG) and occasionally JPG (1DMkII) but I get hundreds of images from friends and family, mostly JPG, taken with many different cameras. The vast majority of these pictures look terrific in PM, BB or ACDSee, etc but they look significantly worse in LR. LR renders its own previews from RAW files instead of using the excellent embedded preview that's already there and LR also somehow changes the JPG preview so that it looks bland and off color in comparison to the same image viewed in PM, ACDC or BB on the same computer. I assume LR's color management or color space is what changes the previews (and thumbs) so they look different (bad) in LR than they look in other standard programs.
Why can't we at least have the option of using embedded previews in LR and display them normally like PM, BB and ACDC. Then LR would be fast (like PM, BB and ACDC) importing and displaying previews and we would not have to fiddle with exposure or color adjustments to get decent previews. Yes, I can get LR to just about match (sometimes exceed) the image quality of other programs but only with massive fiddling with individual images (the camera calibration controls are not sufficient by themselves) and that is a massive pain in the butt.
I, of course, have read many posts about color management. But I refuse to buy expensive color calibration tools and go through that expense and aggravation just to accommodate LR. My pictures already look great in PM, BB, ACDSee and web browsers and on other non-color managed computers. I think LR should be able to be operated in a standard manner so it is consistent with other standard software. The fact is that the vast majority of all amateur photographers, even pretty serious folks, do not hassle with color management because standard software displays very nice images already.
Another point. Some folks like to use Canon or Nikon or other RAW converters instead of Adobe's (for all or some images). If they develop their RAWS in DPP or Capture NX, etc, then import the images into LR, LR renders its own previews which disregard the work done in the 3rd party converter. This is pretty annoying and virtually prevents such folks from using LR. Other programs that use the embedded previews display the adjustments made in 3rd party RAW converters very nicely.

Bill Wood

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I could not respond sooner.
Nobody addressed my question. Why is there no option in LR to use embedded previews in RAW files and why is there no option to display JPG previews in a standard color space, presumably sRGB, like other standard software - Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser, ACDSee, etc, etc?
LR's insistence on rendering previews from RAW files makes the program too slow and it forces users to diddle with settings to get previews that look normal - meaning match what 99% of the rest of the world sees on normal non-color managed computer screens. Folks who want rendered previews and non-standard color space (ProPhoto) and all the rest of us who just want standard previews by default should both be accommodated. Just give us the option to choose.
I just downloaded IDImager, a competing database type DAM program, for a trial. It does give users the option to use embedded previews for fast import and display or it will render previews from RAW if you choose that option. So it can be done and an embedded preview choice makes the program much faster and easier for most people to use.
Just a few comments about the replies:
Lee Jay said LR doesn't use embedded previews because:
"Correct...that's because it's a RAW converter and must display what you'd get from a RAW conversion."
Well, with respect, I cannot agree. First, LR is not just a RAW converter, its much more. If it was that limited, I never would have bought it and neither would anybody else. I already have ACR in Photoshop. Second, it is not mandatory that LR render previews from RAWs. It could optionally use embedded previews if that option was offered. Why do some folks lobby for lack of flexibility? I bet even you naysayers would use embedded previews sometimes, like when you want speed to show pictures to your family, friends and don't need to fester over image adjustments.
Lee Jay also said regarding the difference between my JPG previews in LR vs. other standard software:
"That is likely the fault of your monitor profile, which LR uses and the other programs (probably) don't. It could also be caused by you having "automatically apply auto tone" set, or by applying a preset on import."
No, it LR's fault, period. Every other program I have ever used displays my pictures just fine (Photo Mechanic, Breeze Browser, ADCSee, etc, etc, even Windows free Picture and Fax Viewer works fine. Yes, I can diddle with LR's settings and get nice previews but I don't want to diddle with every image. And it ain't my monitor profile - I can delete it or change it and the issue remains. LR makes different previews from standard software because it renders previews from RAW data and uses a non-standard color space. Camera calibration (or presets) is not a reasonable solution for everybody. I have several cameras, my kids have many different cameras, friends have different cameras and I get images from all these people - so I have a ton of very different images in different lighting and I am not about to setup numerous different calibrations or presets to see previews in LR when I get excellent previews from other standard software that uses embedded previews and produces great previews with no work whatsoever. All I am suggesting is the option to use embedded previews and a standard color space. Again I must ask why do some folks argue for lack of flexibility?
John McWilliams said about LR's power:
"The neat thing is you can make the image look just about anyway you want without loss of quality."
I could not agree more - LR is a good program! But, I don't want to diddle with every image. Most of them are fine, in fact, terrific right out of the camera. I just want to see them faster and I want them to match what other people see on standard non-color managed computers. If PM, BB, ACDSee and others can do it, so can LR.
David Edwards said:
"The images that I want to see in the Library section are RAW images with all the adjustments I have made to them and certainly not the embedded JPGs. If I wanted to see those I would have shot JPG."
This is fine and no doubt makes perfect sense for David's workflow. But, why advocate against an option to use embedded previews for those who would find that useful? I too shoot only RAW with my DSLR cameras because I want the best images and the ability to use all of LR's (or DPPs) conversion powers when appropriate. But, as I said above, the vast majority of my embedded previews are good enough right out of the camera as viewed in PM, BB or ACDSee so I don't need to make any adjustments. :) Only LR creates a problem my rendering less than desirable previews by default. I also want to note that embedded previews do, in fact, display all changes made in LR and I cannot tell any difference in quality on screen between embedded previews and rendered previews when I adjust the LR version to match the default embedded preview and compare them side-by-side in LR and PM, for example.
David also asked:
"Do you need a RAW converter or an application to display images?"
Both. Preferably in the same program. LR is supposed to be an all-in-one solution. It certainly will be when it gets more mature, I hope. I am a amateur so my main need is to see my pictures. I like them and enjoy them but LR is too slow importing and displaying thumbs and previews in Library mode and its previews usually need adjustment. So right now I am forced to use PM, BB or ACDSee all of which are way faster importing and browsing images and they use embedded previews that are fine, even excellent, by default.
I think Adobe is missing out on a significant number of potential users because LR does not provide the options I am requesting. I am certainly not the only person who wants faster importing and browsing and previews that look good by default. And, as I mentioned before, folks who use other RAW converters are also excluded since they cannot see the changes they make before importing images into LR because LR will not display embedded previews.

Hotmail sub folders using BIS

Hi,
I love BlackBerries. I've always used them at work but I am having trouble setting up Hotmail (or Outlook.com) on my recently acquired BlackBerry Bold 9900 for personal use on BIS.
My service provider says that BIS only supports POP email from Hotmail and as such I only get the Inbox, with no other folders or synchronisation. I am not techy, so I'm not sure I understand this correctly... Gmail works fine.
Is this a core limitation with BB7, BIS and Hotmail? If so, does the Q10 fully fix folders problem with Hotmail? It is critical to have folders from three Hotmail accounts. The iPhone, Android and Windows Phone can definitely do it...
Would appreciate any help before I sell the Bold and spend more money on the Q10.
Thanks in advance.
James

If you only get POP from hotmail then, yes, you'll only get the inbox.
The Q10 does fully support folder synchronization from hotmail and supports it quite nicely, and does it much better than iPhone (haven't tried it on Android or Windows.)

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
