Why should forum experts work for free?
If you click the Help link in most Adobe programs you're directed to a website which contains the image shown below.
It makes the people who answer questions on this forum look like paid Adobe employees.
It's very nice that Adobe thinks so highly of these people. Personally I have benefitted many times from their patient, informed advice.
But it seems Adobe has taken advantage of this goodwill, using it as an opportunity to cut costs by scaling down its technical support.
Wouldn't it be interesting if all the people who answered questions on these forums picked one day to go on strike, just to show Adobe how imporant they are?
I'm sure Adobe wouldn't suddenly decide to start paying people, but it might feel the need to improve its support to users. All we need to do is pick a day and spread this discussion to other forums.
I have to admit that I actually troll the forums for questions I do not know the answer to, just to figure them out, or failing that, learning from the answer.
By the way, speaking of working for free, is it really the moderators who approve new avatars? Just any moderator? Or certain ones? Or is it actually just Staff?
And shouldn't they give moderators a slightly different logo from the "MVP". Maybe a little "MOD" to show who is who?

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?
A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Why should we use WSDL for developing webservices
I need to develop Webservice Application for our Client .
I dont know anything about WSDL4J
Hi from the net i found this
"The Web Services Description Language for Java Toolkit (WSDL4J) allows the creation, representation, and manipulation of WSDL documents.
Is the reference implementation for JSR110 'JWSDL' (jcp.org)."
But anybody please tell me why should we use WSDL for developing webservices ??
Is there any specific advantage we will get ??
And Can body please point me a link where to start for working with WSDL4j ?
Thank you very muchi seriously doubt you want to use wsdl4j unless you are doing really advanced webservice work. assuming you are developing this webservice from scratch, you basically want to use JAXWS: define an appropriate interface and your value classes, and let JAXWS do the rest. metro is the JAXWS implementation included in the oracle jdk and it has great tutorials and reference documentation online. i'd suggest you start here: http://metro.java.net/getting-started/

MN04 not working for free text PO
Hi All,
I have maintained a condition record through MN04 in purchase organisation, company code and vendor combination. This condition record is working fine for regular purchase orders. But it is not working for free text PO's. Could you please guide me why is it so?
I am maintaining same purchase organisation, company code and vendor combination for free text PO also. Question is why it is working for a purchase order with material inside it and why it is not working for purchase order with out material.
Thank you all in advanceHi,
Seems you are using a custom print program and form. I would suggest to change the program to SAPFM06P, form routine as "ENTRY_NEU" and the form as "MEDRUCK" in NACE transaction for the output type and check the scenario again. Also cross check the settings with the KBA: 1829682 - Output type is not determined in Purchase order
If its getting triggered, then check the custom program and the form with the help of technical team.
Regards,

My in app purchase keep being denied. Why? They were working for the past, uh, 2 years. Now they don't. I can't fix it on my own apparently because I'm sent to a rather unhelpful support site.
If you mean that you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Allyson, your precaution comes on the heels of me realizing that if I put a song on a blog summary page, then I will have to edit the .js file every time I add a blog entry.
Whereas MassReplaceIt could solve the problem there, the added issue of problems with comments is enough to make me stay away, so that is what I will do: No music within 250' of the blog guy.

I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?
The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again. -
I have downloaded and installed the iPhoto tool to update so my pictures transfer over, but it's still telling me I need to update. Any suggestions why this isn't working for me? I have a Macbook Pro.
You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrade - then launch iPhoto - If you had iPhoto '08 or earlier (version 7.x.x) - the upgrade is installed in the utilities folder of your Applications folder

I looked and found outlook 2010 but you need to pay for it
iCloud will still work for free, i.e sync your contacts between ios devices and the cloud (icloud.com) but for the calendar and addresses to sync with a windows PC you will need outlook 2007+.
However as you dont use that part at the moment i'm sesning no great loss - icloud bookmarks and photo stream will sync with a windows pc without outlook so the rest of icloud will still work for you for free -

Problem: Why does this only work for powers of 2?
I wrote this program to create a golf league schedule for, ideally, eight players. However I want it to be flexible enough to permit for other denominations, such as 10 or 12. When I run the program it works perfectly for any number that is a power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,etc...) but it will not work for other even numbers such as 6,10, or 12. If anyone has any insights it would be most helpful.

}//end WeekAh, I have discovered the problem. The reason for the infinite loop was because of the resetting of the counter/index after every successful match entry back to (a - 1). This was causing matches to be put into weeks where they didn't belong, which caused the program to infinitely loop because it couldn't find an appropriate week to place it's next match. The only time the count should be reset back to zero is when a new player A is being processed or the last valid array index has been referenced before an out of bounds exception would be thrown. I'm still not entirely sure why this doesn't occur on powers of 2 but theh again I haven't put too much thought into it having solved the initial problem! :)
Anyways thanks for the input all who posted, much appreciated.
Happy programming!!!! -
Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?
Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account? Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
~/Library/Caches/garageband
Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
~/Library/Caches/garageband . -

Why hasn't iWork synced for free on iOS?
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Mac Mini for the office and since the recent event, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to iWork for free right?
Well that was the case on Mac OS X, but why is it that on my iOS devices iWork is a paid for suite? Shouldn't it have the download option since it's meant to syncing via iCloud? Instead it's prompting me to pay. Why is this?Hello marinfalier
Once the apps have been redeemed, you can download them on other iOS devices that are supported to run those apps. As far as an iPad 2, you should be able to use those apps as long as you are running iOS 7 on that iPad.
