Workaround for not being able to reference a multi-select field in a calculated field?
Does anyone have a workaround for the fact that SP doesn't allow the use of a multi-select choice field to be used in a calculation in a calculated column? I have a list that WAS a single choice in a Status field with three other calculated columns
that were dependent upon that field. Then I had to change the Status field to be to multi-select (checkboxes). Now of course my calculated columns don't work. In addition, the end user can't fill them in either.
I've got a Status field (multi-select), a Status Date field and Expiration Date field (calc). The expiration date's calculation is shown below. This worked great until I was asked
to change the Status field to multi-select.<o:p></o:p>
=IF(Status="NoI
Review",DATE(YEAR([Status Date]),MONTH([Status Date]),DAY([Status
Date])+21),"")<o:p></o:p>
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.
Hi run4it,
Since SharePoint calculated column cannot reference the choice field with multiple-select value enabled, a workaround is to use workflow to copy the "Status" column value to another single line text column, then reference this single line text column in
calculated column.
Thanks,

Partial workaround to not being able to hide Browser
I'm amazed that there's no way to hide the Browser, as it consumes valuable screen real estate when editing an image. Until Apple provides a way to do this, I've started plopping the adjustments HUD on top of it.

I have always used images for my folder icons, and now I am told that Mt. Lion does not allow me to go to the GET INFO window and do a click on the image icon and then be able to paste that image on to other folders. I just talked with a Apple support guy and he said that Mt. Lion does not support this function. He did say that there are third party programs that allow using images to make icons for folders or other items. I can see some image icon in some of my hard drive folders....... some folders show image icons while others do not. I am a photographer and have scads of photo folders spread all over different hard drives, and I find it easier to find what I am looking for by just looking at the IMAGE PICTURE in the different folders on my hard drives, than by having to read the one or two words associated with each folder.
THe support guy said to request that APPLE put back the ability to use the coy paste function in the GET INFO window. If i can't get this working like it was I wouyld like to know how to get a refund and throw out Mt Lion.Restore your Lion bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup and file your ML bug report. Just keep the installer ($20 USD isn't worth the hassle trying to get it refunded). Then, when the function's restored, reinstall and run Software Update.

Possible solution for not being able to receive emails
I had a problem that's plagued me since Leopard was released a week ago. I couldn't receive all my emails on any POP boxes, and kept getting duplicates showing up of those emails it had managed to download.
I had 45 emails waiting to download, and it kept stopping on message 33. There was nothing different about that message, and I removed it via webmail instead. Still, Mail would not download the messages that remained.
The whilry progress circle would appear by four of the POP boxes but would never disappear, and I had to Force Quit Mail.
I had installed Leopard as an Archive & Install and preserved my users & network settings. I found that Mail had trashed my email servers list!
SOLUTION: Preferences > Accounts. Click on each account and edit the server list (the server dropdown has "Edit Server List..." in it.). Make the changes necessary for ONLY that account's servers, Don't change any others in the server list. Close the sheet, and choose a different account. You'll be asked to save the changes, do so. Now, edit the server for another account and continue until they're all done.
It looks like Mail isn't storing changes to every server that you change in the list, so when you do one of them, if you change another it loses changes you've made.
I still can't send emails though, but that's a separate problem...Yes, they showed up in my Sent folder. What I did was send the same email to the other two addresses. I wrote a test email in account A, and addressed and sent it to account B & C. Then did the same from B to A & C, and from C to A & B. When all was said and done, I had 4 emails in my Mac.com inbox, and 1 email in each of my POP accounts. Since my last post, I tried taking my mac.com account offline, and tried sending an email from each POP account to the other, and they both got them.
No, I can't get to either of my POP accounts online.
The passwords are all correct, and unchanged. If there's an issue with them and OS X, it's a new one.
What's really bugging me is the amount of emails I'm NOT getting. I am not aware of any specifically, at least since the bouncing stopped. But, for example, I normally would have received about 90-100 emails in the past 9 hours, with around 40 of them going to my Junk box. While my Junk box has received close to 40 emails tonight, like normal, my inbox has only received 7, and 3 of those were notices telling me you replied to this post, and another was a confirmation email when I ordered dinner from Dominos. That's been the pace since about mid-day yesterday. Prior to that, I received zero emails in all accounts for the roughly 16 hours following my Leopard install. In fact, when I went to Mac.com to see if my missing mail was there, the last one there was time-stamped about 10 minutes before I did the install. In other words, whatever it was that caused this also kept my email from the mac.com website.
Confused yet? -
On IMAP email, is there a fix for not being able to save to the SENT or DRAFTS folder?
Dear Support,
Recently I switched from POP to IMAP email. Now the IMAP account does not save Drafts or Sent folders. The POP account is still set up and does save. I love using Thunderbird and have used it for over 10 years. This bug is very annoying to me. Can you please tell me if a fix is in the works? From the chat boards it seems like many users do have the bug.
Thank you,
ChrisWrt the drafts folder, try to use the local one instead of the one on the server.
Problems with copying messages to the Sent folder on the server may be caused by an unreliable Internet connection. I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about this. Have you checked with your email provider? -
Is my 3g redundant? will I get compensation for not being able to download or update apps?
Seriously unhappy that there is no update for 3g. Now I cant download apps that I need.
The last upgrade that was available for the 3G was November 2010. No further updates have been available for the 20 months since then. Why have you waited so long to complain?

want to update to Mavericks but get the message: can't connect to App store. What can I do?
Go to your User Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.

Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!
The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone. -

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

I'm tired of this problem of not being able to access itunes on my laptop and now no internet access despite connection and strength being excellent. What are windows playing at? Worked perfectly well until recently. Very frustrating and time consuming!
Just a few lines to assure you you are not alone regarding speed delivery. By no means.
I'm on Infinity 2 with HH5 - was virtually guaranteed 63 d/l and told possibly even up to 78. My actual speeds are nearer 15 (yes 15!) to 28 d/l if I am lucky. I've played all the obligatory games of checking and posting and reviewing my HH stats - and of course wasting my time with India "help" customer services who are instructed to read from a script of inane generalities which are usually completely irrelevant and have no connection whatsoever with a user's Specific problem.
It more often than not turns out that the automated monitoring system imposes a software called DLM = Digital Line Management = which (with the endless excuse of improving line stability) increases noise margins and drastically reduces speed. This can kick in pretty rapidly and can take at least 3 to 4 days to modify itself - if indeed at all!!! Usually an Openreach engineer visit is then needed - who will re-set the Profile to what it is you are supposed to be paying for ..... then of course it is totally possible that DLM will re-emerge and the same old cycle of troubles will have to be endured.
We pay in good faith at the outset on the back of so many promises - only to be cynically let down and dismissed once signed up. It is quite wrong we have to continually argue our case to (try) to get anywhere and are always reminded that we are tied into contracts with expensive escape clauses - or that an engineer's visit is only free IF it is proved the fault is not inside your house - which it very rarely is! This is often more an Ordeal than a subscribed service. Superfast reliable Broadband in the UK ? Ha! -
I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.
ThorBack up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, 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.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal 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 boot 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. -
I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?
Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks -
