Why not to publish IMEI

Curious: Why is it advisable not to publish my IMEI in a public forum?

Your phone's IMEI number is a unique serial number, just like your TV's serial number or your car's VIN number - there is no logical reason to publish it on a web forum, it's not clear what benefit you expect to get by doing it.
As has been correctly stated, there are only malicious motives why a member of the public would need to know your IMEI. You only need to give this number to Nokia Care, or to the retailer or operator from whom you bought the phone, in cases when you are trying to resolve issues.

HT2513 Why do I not see "Publish..." on the Calendar menu?

Why do I not see "Publish..." on the Calendar menu? I am using iCal under OS X Lion (10.7.5).

Why do I not see "Publish..." on the Calendar menu? I am using iCal under OS X Lion (10.7.5).

Why does my content not get published on my website?

I published a website with Webmatrix to Azure using the "Download publish profile". Everything went well and I didn't encounter any errors. When I went to the azure URL that I created or click on that link, the URL displays the following message:
This web site has been successfully created
There's nothing here yet, but Windows Azure makes it simple to publish content with GIT, TFS, FTP or your favorite development tool such as Visual Studio or Webmatrix
When I click on the Azure Dashboard I notice that under "usage overview" it states under the "File system storage" that I'm using 18.09 MB of the 1024MB limit. This to me is an indication that the files/content were successfully transferred from Webmatrix
to Azure, but it did not get published to the URL.
When I click on the little "?" on Azure, it mentions something about uploading the content with "web deploy", yet there is no icon anywhere on Azure that I can find to upload anything.
Is there anything that I must do to get my content to show up at the URL or did something went wrong when I downloaded or installed Azure? Thanks
PS: I'm just using the 90 day trail period and have Vista

Hi Thanks for the reply
When I go to the link that you supplied, I get the exact same message: Website has been created but there is nothing here. I have now uploaded 10 sites from Webmatrix to Azure. All 10 websites uploaded fine and I received a message that it was
successfully published. In Azure the status of all the websites are "running", but if you click on the URL, it shows the message above.
Also, when I click on the FTP Hostname link for any particular site, it takes me to a login screen. After logging in I get an Alert "530 user cannot log in"
Also, is there a way to access the Wordpress root files such as wp-content from anywhere? Thanks

Why cant I publish my websites with the same addresses as they have had before?

Here is the latest answer from Ethmoid to my question:
Okay, so where are you publishing your sites to MobileMe or an external server?
What were your sites named before?
You do know that even if there is a site folder and you have a site name all you need do is give people your url as http://www.domain.com and this is all that they need to type in to a web browser to come up with your site? Nothing has changed has it?
I am publishing to an external server.
The name of the site is www.ravnskov.nu/
To give people the new url is impossible, because thousands of different sites whose owners I do not know are linking to one or more of my sites.
Apparently I am not able to use Iweb for my purpose. Therefore, please tell me how I can take away the sites that already have been published by Iweb?

If you are publishing to an external server then you can get rid of the site name.
Open iWeb and publish your site to a local folder.
You will then need to download Cyberduck from the internet for free. This is a dedicated ftp programme.
Open Cyberduck and then connect to your server. Once connected upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and not your whole site folder and your url will then become http://www.domain.com/page name.html.
When you publish your site from iWeb to a local folder you get a site folder and a separate index file. All you need to do to get rid of your site folder is upload the contents of it rather than the whole folder and you don't then need the index file because there is one already there.
If you do this though, you will have to continue to upload via Cyberduck every time you make changes to your site.
Also, what do you mean "take sites away that have been published by iWeb? Do you mean delete them?
If you want to do this, then you'll need to delete them from the server directly. Use Cyberduck to do this.
Also, why not save time and simply reply to this post rather than starting a new topic each time?

Open source / Commercial version, it's up to you! Why not for ESB products

Please comment this forum and help us to get Sun's support for Open ESB as we can get it for open-Solaris or Glassfish.
Thanks

Jonathan Schwartz new policy
Few years ago, Jonathan Schwartz replaced Scott McNealy as SUN Microsystems CEO. Swartz's first decision was to convert Sun into an Open-Source company. Consequently, Solaris OS, Application Servers and even the Java language were opened and their sources published. At present, Sun is viewed as a major Open Source actor.
Sun�s new sales philosophy proposes, on one hand, its best products in an open-source format and on the other hand, commercial support and hardware. The best examples of this new philosophy are Open-Solaris and Glassfish. You can download these products, use them and test them. After you have built applications with these tools and wish to move into a production environment, you can buy support from Sun.
Open source or Commercial version, it's up to you!
Alternatively, you can as well buy commercial versions at the first place. Even if open sources and commercial versions are slightly different than the open-source ones, more than 95% of their code is originated from the same development branch. Example : SUN proposes its queue messaging system with two similar versions, respectively named �SUN QM� and "Open-MQ". The only difference is the amount you pay for the technical support.
Everyone can find advantages in this sales policy on Sun products: companies and developers try and develop for free and can rely on Sun support in production. As a matter of fact, Sun uses these �free� products as Trojan horses to conquer new market shares, penetrate new companies and sell Sun hardware.
Why not for ESB Products ?
Unfortunately, there is a small issue in this picture: Sun's ESB platform is the exception in this sales policy. In Fact, Sun proposes two different tools for ESB developments. The first product. "JCAPS", is a commercial product inherited from Seebeyond. The second product, "Open-ESB" is based on JBI specifications (JSR 208) and was developed from scratch about 2 years ago.
Alas, JCAPs and Open-ESB are definitely two different products.
JCAPS ignores JBI specifications
JCAPS connectors are based on JCA specifications and not on JBI.
Open-ESB development process is based on Web services specifications, JCAPS not.
JCAPS and Open-ESB developments are not compatible.
Hundreds other differences can be found between the two products.
We can understand that for a while, for technical, marketing or business reasons, a company supports more than one product lines with the same functionalities. IBM does it and Oracle buying BEA will do it also.
However, there are several things that Pymma would like to understand:
Why the download of JCAPS is only available for authorized JCAPS Partner ?
Why SUN does not provide support for open-ESB as it does for Glassfish, Open Solaris or Open MQ ?
Why JBI or Open-ESB are never mentioned at most ESB seminars organized by Sun Centres in the UK ?
Why Sun marketing, Gurus or consultants are prolix about JBI in the public lectures and technical forums, and at the same ignore Open-ESB when they advice companies ?
Is the policy of Jonathan Swartz policy only applicable for Java Legacy applications (Application Server, Message queuing�)? not for ESB tools ?
Of course, we already asked these questions to SUN but we never got clear answers.
Thanks for clarifying Sun's position
Many companies believe in JBI and their developers spend time and energy working on Open-ESB . These companies would certainly be interested to hear Sun's explanations on the above questions. They probably want to be sure that Open-ESB will not be just a prototype for the new JCAP version (only reserved for SUN JCAPS Partners). They certainly want to be credible by proposing SUN's professional support on Open-ESB as they do for Glassfish and Open-Solaris. After, they only need from SUN to clarify its position and give a clear prospective for the future of JBI and Open-ESB. We hope that through this blog Sun will hear us and we will give us clear answers.

Hi Leonie,
My iPhoto is iPhoto 11, version 9.4.2. I believe my Aperture is the latest version but I don't know how to verify that when I can't open it. I regularly accept any updates.
How I restored my Aperture Library: I opened Aperture, clicked on Time Machine, and navigated to the Aperture Library that had been backed-up earlier in the day. It took a while to restore.
When done, I opened Aperture (yes, at that point I could still open it). It opened up on the still-empty Library, and I had to manually change it to the restored library, every time I opened aperture after that. This was annoying, so, I then went to FINDER and deleted the empty Library. I probably shouldn't have done this; I noticed it had the words "current default" in its filename.
From that point on, FINDER shows the restored aperture library (actually two restored aperture libraries, since I accessed Time Machine a second time to restore an even older backed-up version) but of course, not the empty Library that had had "default" in its filename. And... I can no longer open Aperture.
Hope you can help me, thanks so much,
Glensdaughter

Captivate 4 not Zipping Published content if SCORM options turned on!

I am having a HUGH issue... Captivate 4 is not Zipping published files if the SCORM options are turned on... I've been using captivate for years, it's not rookie mistake.
When you enable the scorm options and publish it doesn't zip the published content. If you disable SCORM it zips them just fine.
PLEAS HELP SOMEONE!!!! Adobe support is not help at all... one actually told me to return the product.

If that's the only issue, why not just zip the resulting content yourself? Both Mac and Windows offer built-in methods for creating .zip files...
IS that the only issue?
Does your lesson have scored interactions?
You've setup the preferences/tracking correctly?
.zip is checked in the publish options? And it just doesn't .zip?

Embedding Fonts - Why not?

We are really excited about the news of iBooks Author, since we are graphic designers who run a large font website. The bad news, iBooks doesn't support embedding fonts in the iBook format. Why not? (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5072) - The only work around seems to be if you publish in PDF format, but of course that limits things. Various foundries and font sites offer licenses for eBooks, so iBooks should support this, it's an important aspect to the book design and communication abilities..
Please fix this in the next update? Pretty please....?

> The bad news, iBooks doesn't support embedding fonts in the iBook format. Why not? ... The only work around seems to be if you publish in PDF format
In the ISO 8879 SGML family of which ePub and HTML are implementations the author inserts character information and content information considering the logical reading order. Appearance and geometry is not defined early binding by the author, but late binding by the audience. Because Apple controls the configuration of the obligatory CMAP Character Map in the SFNT Spline Font files available for rendering appearance, the author is guaranteed that the character information will map as intended in whatever appearance the audience chooses. This is *not* the case with glyph encoding and character substitution, whether in Adobe Type 1 font program dictionary format or in Adobe and Heidelberg SFNT Spline Font files which should have been sold with character encoding and glyph substitution, but which were in fact sold with glyph encoding and character substitution. Essentially, Apple is doing in the iBook Store what Microsoft did in Word 1992, that is, supporting obligatory CMAP shaping only for character-glyph mapping, and supporting system supplied SFNT Spline Font files for appearance approximation over third party selectable font files (whose character-glyph mapping may be completely off the wall).
There is the additional problem that adding logical reading order to PDF in order that it may reflow for PDA Personal Digital Assistants with different geometries is as complex, if not more so, than doing the same for a model for document markup that was designed for defining reading order. PostScript and PDF were designed for defining layout rendering order, not for defining logical reading order.
Hope this helps,

Why not support Flash CC 2014 player 10.01 and older?

Hello, why not support Flash CC 2014 player 10.01 It should count on the fact that it will also create banners for Google. Install old version of CS6 is not a good way. Do something about it.
Google say: Important
Currently only AdWords Supports Adobe Flash Player versions 4 through 1.10 If your ad uses any other version (such as 10.2), it can not be uploaded.
What to do?

Why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

HTML Import at sneak peak, why not in it now?

Hi all,
So If been getting a hang on reflow and watched a lot of vids about because its just a wonderful way to get a nice responsive website. Now we are currently on Reflow Preview version 6 and the HTML import is still not embedded.
If we take a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSDuP1j4JVk at 5:20 we see Adobe's Paul Trani importing a HTML file made in Adobe Edge Animate for his responsive website. Now 1 year has passed since that video has been published. So if the technology was there 1 year ago, why can't we experience it yet? Clearly it worked there. Even if it would still be in a Development stage (as the whole Reflow project is at this moment, since it still a preview).
Any thoughts on this matter?
Cheers,
PS. Adobe, keep up the good work with all the CC products, hope you can see into this matter and maybe got it working in Version 7

First, why not go ahead and update to 3.6.8 to see whether that makes any difference. Also, for security reasons, you really should.
Second, the registry settings sometimes get crossed up. Making IE your default browser, and then switching back to Firefox, rewrites those settings.
Any luck?

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify. No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's. Why not for iCloud?

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0

AT&T has great support for WP, why not VZW?

So first the Lumia 928 is released in only black and white, even though Nokia had made a cyan and red version. Why?
The Lumia Icon was ready from Microsoft/Nokia to be released in November 2013, but Verizon didn't release it until after the holiday season in February 2014 after poor marketing. Now after only 8 months, its being retired. Why?
The Lumia 930 is the equivalent of the Lumia Icon, except the 930 has been released overseas in multiple colors. Verizon only offered, again, black and white. Why?
Lumia Cyan. AT&T was able to test and release Lumia Cyan for the Lumia 1020 by August (2 months ago), for the Lumia 920 and 820 it was released early last month. No Windows Phone on Verizon has yet received this update (nor does Verizon care to enlighten us as to when we can expect it). Why?
Microsoft announced two new phones at the same time this year: The Lumia 735 and 830. It later came out that AT&T would get the 830 and Verizon would get the 735. AT&T will have the 830 hitting the shelves on Friday, November 7th. Verizon seems to have decided to postpone the release of the 735 until after the holiday season (much like the Icon). Oh and by the way, the Lumia 735 is already being released in other countries. Why not Verizon?
AT&T has not only released their latest windows phones (the Lumia 1020 and 1520) in multiple eye catching colors (just recently adding a pretty sweet green to the 1520 collection), but they update them much timelier then Verizon too.
I love the Windows Phone OS. If I have to choose between Verizon or Windows Phone, I'll end up choosing Windows Phone on a certain other carrier that actually values the OS that I prefer. I hope Verizon changes their stance before my contract ends this summer.

VZW has had a negative attitude against Microsoft devices for several years now. It seems to go back to the Kin.

HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad. I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not? Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.
