You need to create more buy in for this to work

As opposed as I am to lifetime subscriptions (creative cloud, MS Office, virus scanners, etc.), I can see some value in them as long as they bring value to me.  I have no doubt in my mind that I can continue to work unhindered permanately with Adobe CS6 products without giving you another red cent - ever.  Just as I can continue to use MS Office 2010 withouit paying MS anything else for a word processor, spreadsheet program and email/calendar client.  You need to give me a REAL reason to not do this.  I can personally only justify $50/month for CC with the following features:
1.  Real cross-platform support.  That means linux.  There is no point in me spending money forever on a product (a product for which I can already do everything now with no additional cost).  My business will gain nothing from CC short-term or long-term unless I can gain value from this purchase and save money from something else, and that basically means running on linux.  Putting an extremely stable five-year updateable workstation OS like Ubuntu 12.04 on current hardware without having to shell out big $$$ to Apple for their non-upgradeable and non-serviceable hardware would flat-out save me money, money I would be willing to give to Adobe instead of Apple.  I do have some workstations running Windows, but the Ubuntu and Mac workstations are more productive IMO working in creative suite, with less OS issues.  I can see no reason not to code/port to linux other than developer laziness.  People are disgusted with Microsoft since Windows 8 and Mac's just cost too much money in this economy.  There are only a few reasons everyone is not already running linux - games in Windows (which Valve is starting to address with the steambox and steam for linux), Adobe products and MS Office.  Office 2010 runs great under wine, so screw Microsoft.  If you developed CC for linux, big-name vendors would instantly start selling home and business workstations pre-installed with Ubuntu designed for digital editing.  It's not that linux users are completely opposed to spending money on software and demanding open-source, they just don't have much of a choice of anything to spend it on.  Give them a quality product at a reasonable price, they will pay.
2.  Better mobile support.  We need real tools for quick edits on popular formats on our mobile devices.  As our devices are getting faster, we need more integration for when we are not sitting in front of our workstation.  For $50/month, this should be included and featured.
3.  Better cloud-based training.  To draw people in and keep them paying, they are going to need more frequent content updates, that also means proper feature training.  The training should be easy to understand and readily available upon new features.
4.  More cloud storage, much more.

Have you also used Address Book>Card>Make This My Card?
If you have, you could also quit iCal, find the com.apple.ical.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder and drag it to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check if your card is recognized.

    i just don't know why , although the program runs when i declare the methods two times,
    but i think it's better java code , if i learn it why is this error and correct it

  • When I try to send a calendar invite I get the following error ... iCal was unable to send the invitation.  To be able to send invitations, you need to create an address card for yourself in Address Book.

    I have deleted and recreated "My Card" several times, but iCal is still not recognizing the card.  The application was working fine until a few weeks ago.  I recently purchased Microsoft Office for Mac but have not installed any other new software.  Also checked to make sure my mac software is updated.  Help!!!

  • Remember, you need to update to 3.1 for MMS to work!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3880
    "AT&T MMS requires iPhone OS 3.1 and a carrier settings update. Use these steps to update your iPhone to the latest iPhone OS and carrier settings:"

    I also have the 5.5 carrier file installed with 3.0.1 and MMS is working just fine. I will NOT be installing 3.1 ever again and I wouldn't recommend anybody else do it either.

  • I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

    I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?  I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
    Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.

  • Need to Create More Options in Cisco ACS 5.2 User section

    Hi Team,
    I Need to create more options on Cisco ACS 5.2 under internal identity store in users. please help how to do add, default not showing all.
    i have seen on internet. attaching doc.
    Regards
    MR

    To create additional attributes for internal users do the following:
    - go to System Administration > Configuration > Dictionaries > Identity > Internal Users
    - Press Create to define the additional attributes you require
    For each attribute can
    - define the type
    - give a default value. This will be applied to all existing users and appear as default when new user is created
    - indicate whether the attribute is required and must be defined for each user
    - define a policy condition. If define such a condition will appear as an option when customize rules in a policy

  • What you need to know before buying an antenna

    Isn’t it time you upgraded to an antenna? Wait… what? Upgrade to an antenna? Whether or not you’re a cord cutter (meaning you’ve cancelled your monthly television service) you might find that adding an antenna to your entertainment viewing space can be a great upgrade for a variety of reasons. Whatever those reasons are, here’s what you need to know before buying an antenna.
     

    I don't set out to sell anything, I'm an independent writer tasked with writing stuff about things to inform people. We link stuff to help people find things if they want to buy them, but the above isn't a sales pitch, it's info to help people figure out if they want or need something. 
    I didn't know that there was a cabal of antenna dealers who have been promulgating a myth (as a writer: nicely done there) about the nature of NTSC and ATSC; I hadn't ever considered that the antenna market was that large. When I received the request to write an article about antennas I was actually surprised; antennas don't have the support of major telecommunications companies and I sincerely doubt that there's going to be a run on them because of this article. I saw this as a bit of a public service opportunity to talk about a technology that a small segment would be interested in. 
    Anyway, I'm not sure we're going to get much farther on this; yes Best Buy sells antennas, but no, they didn't ask for an ad. They asked for an article that focused on how these antennas work and what to look for. Thank you for adding your insight about ATSC - I think that was actually covered in paragraphy three, but it's nice to see it spelled out more directly.
    Have a nice day - and if you'd like to discuss this directly, please send me a DM on twitter @thetechnogram

  • I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

  • Need to create stupid proof templates for non-designers

    Ok folks, I'm new to this forum having come across it in search of a solution to my problem.
    I need to create illustrator template files (.ai not .ait) that customers can download and use to create their own artwork for print. I have to create them in every printable paper format from business cards to A3 posters, folding, non-folding yada yada.
    Now, previously, we used an .ai file with a guide layer we created. This guide layer had all relevant info, was named accordingly. It was set not to print and locked. As I tend to use print to file, distiller and all, this has always been perfectly adequate to create my pdfs. Of course, this doesn't work the same way when saving a pdf, which is what most people do. However, customers who wish to download the templates are having some difficulty with the concept of 'make sure you delete the guide layer before saving your pdf'.
    For the most part, the customers using these files are not illustrator literate. Even though there are clear instructions to 'delete' the guide layer when saving the needed pdfs, they are failing to do so. This means when the .ai (with the non printable layer) is saved to pdf, the guide layer as a hidden object is saved within the pdf. Upon printing at our printing facilities, the guide layer has been printed with disasterous results.
    A possible solution we came up with was to use the ruler guides to create the guide layer. For this solution to work though, I need to be able to use different colours for different guides within the same document. Which we can't. We can only change all the guide colours and they are all the same colour.
    Another idea would be to outline text indicating various printable and non-printable areas and making them into guides via View>guides>make guides, which works to an extent but looks messy, especially when viewing the full page and again, isn't particularly distinctive, leading back to having different guides in different colours.
    I've come across another possible solution involving template layers. Viewing the resulting pdf seems fine and in all purposes it does what we need, except for when reopening the saved (not printed) pdf back in illustrator, the template layer is still there and I need it gone. The same way it would be if the .ai were printed to postscript and sent through distiller.
    My ideal solution would be to have to ability to have the different coloured ruler guides in place throughout my document, but as I previously stated, all guides have to be the same colour and that's useless in this instance.
    So, has anyone got any bright ideas. Coincidentally I need to create the same templates for both psd and indesign but I'll cross that bridge when I've figured this out.

    Hey Mike, thanks for the response.
    1. Not a chance, if, even when the process is described in great detail in an info pdf, available as info on the website (with screenshot instructions) and mentioned in the .ai file itself, they aren't even deleting the guide layer, then turning off 'Preserve illustrator editing capabilities' is kind of a stretch. Like I said, the folks these templates are to be designed for are not illustrator literate for the most part.
    2. Not sure if this would work. I'd have to look into it.
    3. Beyond my capabilities. I'll let you know if number 2 works.
    One possible solution I've come up with uses the idea of a template layer always on top, with 'DELETE THIS LAYER' and screenshot of layers pallette and clear little red arrows etc. If I can the template layer to always remain on top, with their artwork layer underneath, they would have to toggle hide/unhide to view their artwork, and the reminder to remove the guide layer would be pretty much in their face. That's not a guarantee either though.
    Personally, I think what I've been asked to achieve is a pretty hard task and honestly, I'm thinking there are no failsafe options.

  • Which all configurations you need to do in R/3 for an Idoc to file scenario

    which all configurations you need to do in R/3 for an Idoc to file scenario?
    Rgds
    Ruchitha

    Hi ruchitha thakur  ,
    A Summary of the Steps to be carried out to enable a SAP R/3 System send Idocs to SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
    First - Maintain the Sender R/3 System:
    SM59 : Create a RFC destination to XI
    WE21 : Create a TRFC Port ->Specify the RFC Destination Created
    BD54 : Create a Logical System for the Idoc Receiver
    WE20 : Create Partner Profile ->Maintain Outbound and the Inbound Parameters
    Second - Log on to XI System:
    SM59 : RFC Destination for Sender System
    IDX1 : Create the port to get Idoc Metadata from Sender System ( The Port Name must match the port name in the idoc header - Usually in format SAP<System ID>. eg. SAPID1 [Optional Step. Not mandatory]
    IDX2 : Maintain the Idoc Metadata. This is needed only by XI, and not by other SAP systems. IDX2 is needed because XI needs to construct IDoc-XML from the IDoc. No other SAP system needs to do that.
    To Enable Acknowledgement:
    SXMB_ADM ->Integration Engine Configuration ->Specific Configuration ->Add New entry -> Select parameters as:
    Category: RUNTIME
    Parameters: ACK_SYSTEM_FAILURE
    Current Value: 1
    GO TO SLD:
    Create Technical System: Choose WEB AS ABAP if the system is R/3 -> Define SAP SID, Installation Number and Database Host Name a Maintain message Server Details according to Sender System -> Maintain Client Details of Sender System ->Select a Installed Product for Sender System
    Create Business System: Choose WEB AS ABAP if the system is R/3 -> Choose the Technical System and the client Created Before -> Choose the Installed Product -> Set:
    Business System Role: Application System
    Related Integration Server: Integration Server
    Integration Builder
    Integration Directory:
    Add Business System:  Adapter Specific Identifiers -> 'Logical System' identical to the 'Logical System Name' in the SLD Business System  
    IDoc Receiver Communication Channel: port the same as XI System IDX1
    The following web-sites give u step-by-step solution to configure R/3 :

  • Do we need to create individual shipment document for Transportation Chain

    Do we need to create individual shipment document in Transportation Chain if the forwarding agent is same for all shipment?
    For Example :
    first it takes truck,
             then ship,
             then again truck to reach Customer.
    in all above case forwading agent is same eg: DHL Service

    Hi Doak,
    Yes you need to create individual shipment document in Transportation chain.
    For Example : when the trucks go from their respective shipping points to the harbor, the freight documents should not also contain main leg and subsequent leg information. When you create texts, you would not know if they are supposed to be valid for the preliminary, main or subsequent legs.
    In order to avoid such limitations, we would recommend that you denote a transportation chain using multiple shipment documents. You can create these shipment documents almost automatically by using collective processing.
    If you want depict a transportation chain within a shipment document, you must also accept the limited functions available to you.
    The reason: Almost all shipment document functions refer to the document as a whole:
    1.Outputs can only be printed for the entire document, not for individual legs
    2.Handling units can only be created for the entire document, not for individual   legs
    3. The same is valid for texts, deadlines in general, etc.
    Hope this provides you some clarity.  Reward points if helpful.
    Regards
    Srikanth.A

  • Return for Credit - Is there a need to Create Project Stock (MIGO) in this

    Return for Credit - Is there a need to Create Project Stock (MIGO) in this process? System allows you to use ME21n (Returns PO) and then go straight to Goods Issue to Supplier (MIGO)

    For the most part, though the code doesn't give much hint of this, layout managers can not be re-used across multiple containers, and I'm almost certain GridBayLayout must be used with this principle. Most layout managers implementing LayoutManager2 maintain an internal cache of the components they are responsible for laying out in order to map each component to a constraint, and will attempt to layout all components together without verifying that they have the appropriate parent, hence causing errors that are very difficult to find, in my experience causing the jvm to perform and illegal operation without so much as an exception being thrown.

  • Need to create a Z transaction for SE16

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which I need to create a Z transaction for SE16 and then restrict the access of that transaction to 3 tables and users cannot see other tables through this transaction. it would be fine even if this condition can be implemented on standard transaction(in SE16 with out creating a Z with the help of basis team).
    I tried to copy the transaction and also the program (program name: SAPLSETB and screen 230 even this program is made a Z program)
    but this is giving a short dump.
    Please let me know if the process i am following is correct if not can you please suggest me a better one.
    Thanks in advance.

  • We have two Mac laptops, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for both?

    We have two Mac laptops in the household, does anybody know if you need to purchase the Lion upgrade for each?

    No. You only pay for Lion once and can then install it on all of your household Macs.
    Purchase Lion in the App Store using one of your Macs and the install button will appear for Lion under the Purchases tab when you open the App Store with your other Mac. The App Store will ask for your user name and password to install Lion but won't charge you for the second install. If you have more than one iTunes account use the one that you used to purchase Lion. All apps in the App Store work this way.
