Will there be a fix for Blackboard any time soon?

blackboard is an already touchy program and while I don't know what the problems are with the new update and the board but to have our Tech Support post a Notice every time you log in to NOT update to the new versions of firefox or IE within hours of the release means its pretty bad. I've asked ff to stop asking me to update but every time I open up the program it ask anyway so now I'm getting to the point where I'm anxious for a fix to stop this problem and some others as well.
Read that there's not a time line for the fix but is it going to be soon?

Internet Explorer 9 & Firefox 4 browsers are not compatible with Maricopa's Blackboard and may cause problems when trying to submit exams, tests and assignments. '''bold text'''

Blackboard / WebCT is very careful about their programs being compatible with popular web browsers, they test which browsers work with specific versions of their programs. One thing they never seem to do is to make changes to their programs or update them during a school term ''(IE9 and Firefox 4 were both released in April - like mid-term)''. It seems to me that all changes to their programs are done during June, July, and August, and are then rolled out for the fall term. Whatever they "certify" as being compatible is then a "well seasoned" browser, with few surprises for them.
IMO, a smart way to operate. ''Plus, how you you "collect" for the updates when a contract already exists for the term or school year?''

Look under Supported Browsers for the version of Firefox that is supported for the version of Vista or Campus Edition your school uses. That information should be posted at the bottom of most Blackboard / WebCT pages.
If you just "gotta have" the latest version of Firefox, you should install the proper version of Portable Firefox for your Blackboard / WebCT version used at your school. Portable Firefox will install completely into its' own folder set in Program Files and it won't affect or interact with the regular Firefox installation, like having two different "regular" version would.

Scroll down that page for Legacy Versions. Just install it to your hard drive or a USB key.

  • I'm unable to sync my contacts with the new iPhone 5 and my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Will there be a fix for this in the next update?

    I previously had an iPhone 4 synced and paired with my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and had no issues. Now I have a new iPhone 5 and am able to sync the phone but the contacts will not update in the phone book listing for the vehicle. I've tried several times to re-sync and pair the phone to the vehicle and still the same issue. I'm able to make an receive calls but no contact information is being displayed. From all of the previous community issues reported it's not an AT&T issue, Hyundai issue, it's clearly pointing at the device (iPhone 5) being the issue.
    Will there be a fix for this in the next update?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your response. However, after speaking with a level 2 Apple Advisor and Hyundai there is an issue that both companies are aware of and are working towards a resolution. Here's a blurb from Hyundai that was sent to me after I spoke with Apple Advisor:
    "We apologize for any inconvenience associated with the technical issues with devices connected via Bluetooth. Hyundai is aware of the iPhone losing its Bluetooth connection to the vehicle along with any function associated with it at the time. Hyundai has been able to reproduce the concern in our test vehicles and have sent all necessary information to Apple engineers. Hyundai received confirmation from Apple that they will work on debugging.
    If your iPhone is 3G, 4, 4S, 5 and has one of the following iOS: 6.0, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or higher, you may be affected." - Hyundai Engineering

  • Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox

    Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.hotmail.com

    We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

    Likely someone does but Apple has not stated if/wehn.

    Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

  • Will There Be a Fix (for Lion users)?

    Ever since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion, I've noticed issues with Adobe Audition, it kept freezing and crashing when I add an audio file as I'm post edit my radio show.
    Will there be a fix for it soon? It's been occuring since upgrading.

    Hello,
    As of now, there are no known issues with Audition CS5.5 on Lion (Mac OS 10.7). We are running the OS on many machines here and have found the application to be fully complaint with the new operating system.
    As for the crashing you are experiencing, let's try a few things to troubleshoot the issue on your particular system.
    First: The new Mac OS hides the Preferences folder location by default. Here's how you can "unhide" that folder:
    1. Open the “Terminal” application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
    2. Enter the following command and hit enter: chflags nohidden /Users/Your_User_Name_Here/Library
    Next: I suggest you try using a new set of preferences in case something has become corrupt.
    Go to the following locations and either delete (if you don't need  the old preference) or instead re-name these files or move them to  another location:
    /Users/User_Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/4.0/ - Move or delete the "4.0" folder.
    /Users/User_Name/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.4.0.plist - Move or delete the "com.Adobe.Audition.4.0.plist" file.
    Re-launch Auditon and try again.
    If this does not resolve the issue, please tell me if you are seeing this with a particular audio file or format.
    -- Does it happen with all files or just specific files?
    -- You mention that this happens when you add an audio file. Does this mean when you open a file in the single-asset editor or in multitrack?
    As much information as possible will be helpful for us in trying to narrow down the problem.
    Thanks,
    --Ron

  • My new iPhone 5 will not pair with the Bluetooth in my 2008 Prius. I see that I'm not alone. Will there be a fix for this problem ?

    Will there be a fix for the Bluetooth problems that me and many other iPhone 5 owners are experiencing?

    Go to the settings in your Jeep, "forget" the iPhone. And on the iPhone "forget" the jeep. Then put the Jeep in Pairing Mode and tap Settings/BlueTooth on the phone and pair them anew (which sounds less confusing than "repair them").

  • When will there be a fix for RAM/Airport issue?

    Hi,
    I have a new Powerbook, and 2 GB's of ram. I was thinking this machine would be smokin', but instead, my Airport is constantly loosing it's connection, and my mouse becomes jumpy as described in the many messages below.
    When will there be a fix? Is Apple aware of the issue? Would it do any good to call tech support?
    Rob

    10.4.3 is certainly not a fix - see the airport/RAM thread. Within 10 minutes of installing the update, the bug happened for the first time at work (had happened many times at home). I doubt calling tech support would add anything - there's no way they don't know about the issue. There's a cmd line option in a link in that other thread where you can tell tiger to only use 1024 MB, which will fix the problem without having to physically remove RAM, but keeping it at 1 GB is pretty much the only option. It's a major bummer to say the least.

  • Will there be a fix for 10.3 OS problems?

    Will Blackberry be coming out with a fix for these bugs?As in previous posts, so far I have noticed problems with very low volume for notifications, despite the fact that the volume levels are turned up to max, and I have also had problems with contact information, which I have discovered now cannot be edited as I am getting the error message "exceeds maximum 17 characters." My contact phone #s are also showing up in duplicate but cannot be edited.  I have not noticed any other issues yet but then again, I have not used all functions.
    Seems many people are having these issues. Will there be a fix?

    No one can predict the future...and anyone who knows "inside" what BB is doing, would be legally prevented from revealing it. In the meantime, due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Workers for iOS any time soon?

    Quick question for the AIR dev team.
    Will Workers for iOS be a priority for AIR 18 beta, or are there any concrete plans for iOS workers?
    i've been longing for this feature for quite some time now, it kind of sucks to have to maintain 2 versions of my code to support both Android and iOS.

    install os x in virtual machine on windows machine. and make config from there. worked for me!
    I think apple is not making the update on purpose.

  • Will there be a fix for the Note 3 signal issues any time soon?

    I have a Note 3 and I am absolutely furious at Verizon. I previously had a Galaxy S4 and after an update it basically became useless in my home. It was working just fine then one day it is a brick basically. Verizon knew about the issue as the know about the Note 3 issue and refuse to do anything but pretend nothing is wrong. I got the Note 3 due to the S4 issues, and wouldn't you know, after a month or so the Note 3 is doing the EXACT same thing. Signal was NEVER a problem in my home, but now I drop calls and have very little service 90% of the time.
    Does anyone have any advice to me as to how to handle this? My experience at a corporate store consisted of being told I could BUY a network extended.... I already pay for a service I currently don't receive. I don't see why Verizon can't admit to the issue.

    I hate to say Me too but "ME TOO" .  The last update srewed up our phones and now the new update is out but Verizon wont give it to us...   Sprint got it last week!

  • Now that Android will shoot in .dng, think we can expect LR for Android any time soon?

    This really got me excited after Google IO! How they will open the camera to the developers, giving the camera full manual control. And raw support! The fact that I can potentially fit my camera and my entire workflow in my pocket just boggles my mind!
    Just one last obstacle though: software. I haven't used LR mobile, but if it has anywhere near the same features as the desktop version, I can't wait to get my hands on it!
    All I've heard from Adobe is "We will look at Android support down the line", so same old same old as an Android user there
    Anyone know of some new comments on this? Or if Adobe has commented at all?

    I've not used this myself, but I have a New iPad 3 on order (waiting for a black one) and will be making it one of my first apps.

  • Premiere CS6 not supporting AVC-G25/50P will there be an update for that?

    Good morning Adobe,
    I own a Panasonic AJ-PX270 with the P2 content format. I filmed using the AVC-G25/50P format, but that is not supported when i want to import the file structure into my Premiere CS6 it gives me a standard error.
    Does anyone know what file format i have to use in my sequence to get this imported?
    Will there be an update for this?
    I have also asked Panasonic to provide me a solution, haven't heard from them.
    Perhaps someone knows how i can convert the files into another file format outside of premiere?
    thank you very much!

    Yes, it's Java update 16 for Mac OS 10.6 that broke lots of stuff.  The 51 comes from it updating Java to 1.6_51.  There is an update to the update for 10.7 and up posted, but is there one for 10.6?
    UPDATE:  Never mind.  If you go to the download page for Java update 16, it appears that it has been silently updated.  Although there isn't any indication of the fact that it has been fixed, the build number is different (20.51-b01-457 instead of -456).

  • Will there be an update for iPad 1 after 5.1.1?

    I have the original iPad and I have it updated to 5.1.1 but it runs INCREDIBLY slow and crashes often. Will there be another update for it in the future or is this the end of the road for software updates?

    While there is nothing to suggest that there will be any additional updates for the original iPad. You might find some solution for your iPad running slow and frequently crashing.
    the first thing I would check is how much free space you have left. I think to should try to have at least 20% of the space free to allow efficient operation of apps and the iOS. If you have less than that try deleting some apps or data on order to free up more space.

  • Is there an official Rugby World Cup App for iPhone coming any time soon?

    Is there an official Rugby World Cup App for iPhone coming any time soon?

    Its good to know that I am not the only one left wondering about this!
    I expected the RWC 2011 website to post some information regarding this, though it appears they have something set up with Blackberry already.
    I'm holding out, hoping that an official app will come along, but some of the non-official ones seem quite decent.
    There seems to be a real lack of iDevice and Andriod official services/support for this RWC, which is a real shame because this would be the first RWC where you could combine the sport with great technology and communications.
    To me it appears the organizers missed a great oppertuinity or suck at planning/promoting.
    An iPhone/iPad official app would be fantastic!
