Why Can't We Have A "Sticky" FAQ At The Top Of This Forum?

I am back at my old MOAN again - probably with the same result!
Lots of newcomers are asking the same questions repeatedly.
A prominent FAQ would help everyone greatly.
When you join the forums you are told to do a search before asking a question - but I can still remember how baffling everything was for the first few days. Even if I remembered I needed to search I don't think I could have done one!
So is there any chance at all of getting a prominent FAQ ?
Ian.

Seems a good idea. However, someone would have to do the work/organising, hopefully with help from members subject to the (expert) organiser monitoring their offers. Even I - a raw beginner still struggling throught the quicksands of video - could contribute something.
The problem with searches on all forums (fora!) is that people don't often put helpful subject headings (eg., "Help"!

Time to Change the Sticky at the top of this forum?

I think that we are past the delivery issues with the Droid X. As far as I know, anyway.
I respectfully submit to the Mods that the following information (copied and pasted from a response to a past by Wildman) be posted at the top as a sticky, named possibly as "2.2 Froyo issues and solutions" or something to that effect
"This has been verified as being the best way to stop a number of the issues that has developed after doing Froyo update, the system seem to keep the 2.1 app and settings during installation process and this seems to cause a number of incompatible issues with a number of devices.... Follow this process after completing Froyo Update to avoid problems..
Follow these settings during restore to avoid issues being restored automatically.
1. Uncheck "Back up my data" under Settings/Privacy
2. Click Factory Data Reset/Reset Phone
3. After reset is complete only Active Phone but do not input Google Email information
4. Once phone is at homepage go back into Settings/Privacy and make sure the Automatic Restore option is unchecked, even if grayed out, activate "Back up my data" and quickly disable "Automatic Restore"
5. After being sure that the Automatic Restore option is off it will be safe to log into Google and you can continue installing preferred apps and custom settings.
This process will stop all applications and settings from restoring automatically and restoring original issues that usually resolve a number of issues."
Or possibly, just post this entire thread by Wildman..
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Minimize-Droid-X-Issues-After-Froyo-Update/td-p/296586
And finally, it would be helpful to add this info from the Moto employee regarding updates from Moto to address other issues with Froyo..
"If you have already upgraded to 2.2 for Droid X, you have certainly found some great new capabilities. Most owners appear to be having untroubled operation, but a few owners also found new issues. While the incidence of these these issues is low, we want to provide some positive news for those who might be experiencing them.
Here are some of the known issues raised by forums members, with some information about each. It is not intended to be a complete list at this time -- there are many more improvements in the works. I’ll update this list as information becomes available.
Stuck on Moto logo after reboot – this was tough on a very few owners. Sorry about that. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release. If you are still experiencing this issue, click here.
Random rebooting – while there always seem to be new conditions that can cause an electronic device to panic, we do have improvements coming that address and eliminate identified panic states. They will be distributed in a future software release.
WiFi connection and stability – improvements in WiFi have been developed, to address several problem areas. They will be distributed in a future software release.
Battery Manager “force close” errors – under some circumstances, pressing the battery icon under Menu > Settings > Battery Manager results in a forced close error. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
Media won’t play – includes “sorry the player does not support this type of audio file," custom ringtone stop working, video won’t play, etc. A reboot will restore full media function, but not permanently. We believe we have identified the cause of these errors. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
Music files cutting off the final four seconds or so – a solution has been developed. It will be distributed in a future software release."
I truly believe that a sticky with this information would be a big help to those looking for advice and answers to the various Froyo issues (that, fortunately, so far I have not been afflicted with (except for that funny issue with the accessibility issue that apparently NO ONE, including myself read about in the what???......THE USER GUIDE!...:smileyvery-happy:
Thank you,
Geri O

My Eris? Only minor occasionally glitches (force closes or bad apps) and just recently found one tiny dead spot in the LCD screen (no big thing). Biggest thing is I have NOT had to pull my battery in months! I think it was more my fault the last time it happened.
The main reason I think my phone is so problem free is I did a factory reset soon after 2.1 OTA update.
Btw I went from a Motorola W385 to the Droid Eris. Big learning curve, but I enjoyed the trip. LOL

Still can't find my username after following all the advice on this forum

I joined Spotify through Facebook and I have a file account.
I need my username (the numeric info) and despite searching this forum; trying all the solutions of viewing my profile etc, I still cannot see any reference to my numeric username.
This is REALLY bad user experience Spotify!

Hello.
You can find this information on your Set devise password page

Why can't we have folders AND stacks in the dock?

If I drag a single item into the dock, I want it to remain a single item.
If I drag multiple items into the dock, I want them to become a stack.
If I drag one folder filled with multiple items, it should only turn into a stack on my say-so, like if I Option-Drag it onto the dock or something. Stacks shouldn't be forced onto the user.
Please make Stacks an ADDED FEATURE and not an ABSOLUTE CHANGE in everyone's daily workflow.

I might actually buy a windows laptop. So sad.
No need, as long as Apple continues to offer a notebook line-up that includes built-in optical drives, to buy a Windows machine... yet.
As I said, the only thing that I use my SuperDrive for now is backups of all those digital software deliveries, documents, etc. If I finally break down and buy an external Blu-ray drive, I won't use the SuperDrive at all. But right now I have almost 12 years of back-ups on DVD, both single and dual layer - so, for now, I need my optical drive.
I'm hoping that - one day - Apple will sell MacBook Pros with Blu-ray drives. Hey, I can wish, right?

Why can't I have two applications open on the desktop at the same time ?

I can, it seems, with two Mac applications (eg Numbers and Pages) but cannot with non-Mac software. For example I would like to have Firefox (web broswer) open at the same time as running Songbird (music player). But when I click on one the other minimises to the dock. I've tried varios combinations of holding companion keys down when I click (CMD, Shift etc) to no avail.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Click Update to save settings
Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart, then check the network again.

Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the post

Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the posted advice- all other programs have downloaded without a hitch.... what's the deal?

Hi Clearly Stated,
Maybe try downloading the Premiere Pro trial and then licensing it?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_pro
After you install just covert it to be licensed as part of Creative Cloud using the "License This Software" option shown here.

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything.

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.

To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks.

Why can't we have a real 'finalise'

Hi :)
As we know, all advice about the 'finalise' method is to never
use it, don't override it, pretend it doesn't exist, and if you ever
actually do write code in it, make sure it doesn't throw an exception,
and make sure (can't remember if this is just a 'myth') that it
executes in a very small time period.
Now, i don't have a problem with the requirement for this implementation,
but why can't we have a 'finalise' method that we can implement code
in.
Personally, I would love to have such a method where I can close my
resources, even do other things to conceptually 'end' my objects life.
Consider how ridiculous it would be if an OO language said: "yes,
there is a constructor, but don't write code in it ..., oh, you wan't to
'initialise' your object you say? well, create a pattern or interface or
whatever, implement an 'init' method, and always call that'. Anyone
who had a programming language tell him that would drop it for
a more sensible one.
So come on ... we have a method (even as many as we feel like, assuming
signatures) to 'establish' our object, why are we disabled and disallowed the
option of having one to finalise it (even; not sure of the appropriateness: ones
matching the constructor signatures).
who's with me? :) !

Where is your problem ?
Use a finally clause...Hence the fragileness. Out of the population of
developers, what percentage do you suppose remember to
do that? It would be MUCH better for the VM to take
care of it, destructing/finalizing objects either as
soon as they are no longer strongly reachable (hard to
implement), or at least at SOME point before the app
dies (the GC COULD have been designed to GUARANTEE
running before app termination)What I mean was that you can do something (clean up used connections, streams etc.) but let the GC do the rest. By the way it isn't guaranteed that the GC will run a full garbage collection before you close.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set.

Why can't i have the Facetime App on my iPhone 4?

Why can't I have the Facetime App on my iPhone?

Very Vague question.
Why do you think that you cannot?
Tap contacts, pick the contact you want to call, scroll down to the facetime button.
What is your issue?

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Why can't we have superdrive and retina display and HDMI in one macbook pro?

Its good to have a lighter macbook pro for those who don't need the superdrive....BUT, What about those (like myself) who desperately want a superdrive in their macbook pro and also the retina display!! And, Why can't we have a regular HDMI in macbook pro with a superdrive....this is so frustrating! Whats wrong with apple!

I might actually buy a windows laptop. So sad.
No need, as long as Apple continues to offer a notebook line-up that includes built-in optical drives, to buy a Windows machine... yet.
