Why can't a customer change the length of time before voice-mail picks up??

I spent nearly half an hour on the phone yesterday with tech support attempting to lengthen the amount of time that elapses before voice mail answers from 30 to 40 seconds. This use to be the easiest of settings to modify, even from first generation mobile phones. Heck, you didn't even have to call tech support for such a simple change - just accomplish it from phone settings. I was informed by Verizon tech support that now all Verizon phones have a standard 30 second time to pick up and IT CAN NOT BE CHANGED!!! Ridiculous! I use my phone for business and each time a miss a call it represents a potential lost customer. Give me the extra freakin 10 seconds to answer please - come on Verizon!!!

Controlled by your carrier, so contact them.

How to change the length of time calendar retains appointments

On my previous Blackberry running OS7, I was able to change the length of time the calendar kept appointments, but I can't find that setting on my Q10. I would like to be able to keep appointments on the calendar indefinitely. Thanks for any advice.

Hello, metallifan15,
Welcome to the discussions.
I think you are asking about the durations for subtitles. There is a maximum duration for titles, and that duration varies depending on which title you select. For just 'subtitle' it appears that the maximum duration is about 4secs20frames, 4:20. If you choose 'Stripe subtitle' the duration is about 8 seconds, 8:00.
If you want the durations to be longer, consider getting some of GeeThree's Slick volumes, some of whose titles can be placed for 30 seconds.

How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

For me its:
1. Open the phone app and dial *#61# on the Keypad. Press the Call button.
2. Locate this text on the screen: "Setting Interrogation Succeeded, Voice Call Forwarding, When Unanswered, Forwards to +" and record the 11-digit number after the + symbol.
3. Touch the Dismiss button. Now enter this code on the Keypad: *61*+ followed by the 11-digit Forwards to number recorded in step 2, followed by *11 and *ringtime#. Ringtime is the number of seconds you want your iPhone to ring before voicemail picks up. Your finished code should look something like this:
*61*+18555513466*11*30#
In the example above the ring time is set to 30 seconds. Press the Call button.
4. You should receive the message: Setting Activation Succeeded. Press Dismiss and next time you receive a call it will ring for the new amount of time before going to voicemail.

Why can I not fully change the icon?

Skype is like this as well, and I'd like to know why some programs you absolutely CANNOT change the icon that appears in the taskbar, Chrome did this, but I was able to get around it by pinning the shortcut with the custom icon to the taskbar, I was unable to accomplish this with iTunes (as well as Skype).
Why not?
What possible reason is there to not allow us to completely change the icon?

I am not understanding how to copy the icon from Preview... I open the graphic and click "Edit - Copy" then click on the icon I want to swap it out with in "Get Info" and click "Edit - Paste" and nothing happens. I cannot use keyboard shortcuts as I do not have an Apple keyboard at the moment.
Thank you for your help.

How do I change the length of time songs stay in "Recently added"

As usual the most user unfriendly software ever created, Itunes for Windows, has me completely beaten.
Anyone know how to change the settings on Itunes to get the amount of time a song stays in the "recently added" part of Itunes?

Thank you Katrina.
I dont think that helped me at all though...instead I am floundering around even more.
What is a smart playlist, and what does it have to do with minimizing the amount of time that songs stay in my recently added section?
I right clicked on my recently added..clicked on Smart Playlist..and it was more confusing than anything.
Match all of the following rules??? Is that even english?
Date added ....arrggghh
Okay the reason that I am doing this is...my computer I had Itunes on just fried after five years...my own fault for not backing my music up on a different hard drive but thats water under the bridge. Now I could have spent thirty bucks on a separate program that would rip MY music off of MY Ipod and put it on MY Itunes...but I didnt want to do that..I just decided to rebuild my library by reloading the CD's onto Itunes. The major issue I have with this is, I have a number of Audio Books that I want on my Itunes...and often times the chapter numbers and order gets mixed up, especially when I am uploading books by the same author. I use the recently added area to move the books over to playlists I make....but if I upload multiple books the recently added area gets all cluttered up, and the books will get mixed.
If I can get the recently added area to CLEAR OUT it will make my life a lot easier...but so far I cant..so I am slogging through this thing like a ******** snail.
I know that in a previous version of Itunes that it was pretty easy to set this preference....but I honestly cannot figure this out.....

Why do i have to reload the page several times before all the content appears?

I need to hit the reload button at least once sometimes twice before a web page appears correctly or to get all of the pages content. This problem just started. I also can no longer get the Veetle movie player to work it wont download the channel anymore. I think this is the same problem and this also just started to happen.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Changing the length if still pictures

I'm having difficulty changing the length of time a still picture appears in my movie. I set my default to 5 seconds, but some ended up longer so I tried to manually change it by right clicking on the picture and entering in the new time, however, for some reason that did not work. What am I doing wrong? Is there any wat to change the time for all pictures at once?

Select all the still images and right-click and use duration. If those does not work could you explain exactly what you're doing in your sequence and what happens when you do it.

Changing the lenght of time of a clip

I have placed a load of photographs into iMovie HD with Transitions between each one, and I have now added an audio track, is there any way I can simply drag the ends of each image in order to get each one to tie in with the music without having to manually work out the length of time for each transition and then type this into the box, as this is proving virtually impossible?

Hi,
I was about to ask this same question when I decided to search for it first -- I was already in the process of following Karl's great step-by-step instructions.
Karl, I don't know if you have the ability to edit your original post, but the arrow pointing to the left to change the clip duration doesn't appear unless you have View->Show Clip Volume Levels [ ] unchecked.
I'd recommend changing the initial setup portion of your hints to include the bullet point:
* Set view preferences View->Show Clip Volume Levels to "unchecked"
(or "off" or whatever verbage you think best fits, but it was driving me nuts that I couldn't change the length of time of my slides the way you recommended.)

How do you control the number of rings before voic...

When people call me, Skype rings far to many times before voice mail comes on. How do you reduce the number of rings on an inbound call, so that voice mail comes on in 4 to 5 rings?

Hi, billwalker1125,
Skype does not determine when to send calls to voice mail by the number of rings, but instead by the amount of time that has elapsed. Check your settings (in Windows, it would be Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Voice Messages -> Start recording a voice message if ... Remember to Save your changes!

How can I change the length of multiple lines at the same time?

This just seems like it should be a no-brainer, but obviously for me it isn't. I'm trying to change the length of multiple lines, that are at different angles, at the same time, in CS4. Basically, I design the face of dials used for airplane instrument gauges (like RPM, Torque, etc), and they have gradiation marks (lines) located all around, similar what a clock looks like with the hour and minute gradiation marks (lines). Is there a way to select all the lines, that I know are the same length, and change it to a different length, that's accurate to the 1/100th of an inch? It would just be like selecting multiple lines that have all the same stroke, then using the stroke box to change the stroke weight from .025in to .030in.
I've used the transform box to change the 'height' of a line before, but the line has to be at 90 degrees (straight up and down), and that won't work for the lines that are at, say, a 45 degree angle.
I hope i'm explaining this in a way that someone will understand. If not, I can sure try to clarify more, or insert the picture so you could see what i'm talking about.
Thanks for any help you can give!

OK, after fiddling around with everyone's ideas, I think I finally got it. I knew there had to be something with proportions between W and H, but couldn't figure out the math, until Jacob answered with:
"If each line must be strecthed from the inner/outer end, you may select each and use the Transform palette, choosing the right Reference Point, multiplying by the proportion in W or H (1.75/1.5), and Ctrl/Cmd clicking."
Now, I basically did everything above, (but I couldn't figure out what you were talking about with the Ctrl Clicking thing), except after figuring out the right proportion (which ends up being so small you guys would die if I told you the number; the numbers I gave earlier were just an example and much larger than what i'm really working with) I just clicked the little chain next to the W and H boxes to constrain the proportions. I then put the new number (multiplied proportion by whatever was in W) in the W box. The line lengthened perfectly toward the center of the dial, keeping the correct angle!
And Harron-Thanks for the link to Teri's, It is going to help with some things I do, but most of the dials I design don't have equal distances between each gradiation mark, and the blueprints I work off of usually have exactly what distances that the grad. marks are supposed to be. So, after selecting one of my grad marks that is already at it's correct place, I then use the rotate tool and Alt-Clicking the very center of the dial, I can then put in exactly what distance I want the next grad. mark to be at, I hit copy (instead of OK) and there will be a new grad. mark exactly the correct distance from my original. Then if I want to have the 3rd grad. mark I just hit Ctrl-D and it will copy another mark to the next position. I don't know if you necessarily wanted to know all that, but i thought i'd explain why I like doing it that way.
A BIG thanks to everyone! I'm really a AI newbie and am the only one at my company that knows how to use it, so I don't have anyone close to ask stupid questions to. So I appreciate all your help!

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

How can i change the length of a narration ?

how can i change the length of a narration ?

hotts77
Thanks for the reply.
Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
blog post just about says it all.
You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
Thank you.

Can we change the length of fields appearing in the ALV layout

Hi All,
We are using the FM 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY' to display the output.We have a column Clearing agent status in the output which has 3 lights(Red,Green,Yellow).After getting the output if i change the layout, the output of this column is appearing as description instead af light.
Eg:For green light,it is 'All approvals are issued'.
When checked in debugging, I could find out that there is one subroutine 'Column_width_optimize' in which the output length of the columns are getting changed.Initially the output length would be same as data elements length.But once this subroutine runs,the lengths are getting changed.(Clearing agent status if of length : 60,but it is getting changed to 30 which is the length of its description.)
Now,I want to know if we can change the output length so that i obtain the required output.
Thanks
Prathima

Hi,
You can change the length in th eoutput by using
outputlen in fieldcat.
You can use like this
w_fieldcat-outputlen = '20'.
If you want 20 char lenght in the output.
I think it is useful for you.

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:
