I want to post a question and I keep receiving this error message- "You are not allowed to create or update this content". Can somebody tell me what the problem is?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
OK. this MAY be easily solved when you understand the "structure" of these forums
You can only post in a "leaf" or "child" forum (depending your preferred metaphor)
this illustrates how "iPhone" is a "limb" or "parent" and you cannot post in it - but can in the "sub-forums" that appear as links
iPhone >
iPhone in Business and Education
At the end of the New Discussion posting process, you need to make a choice of where to put it
Look what happens when I "Test"
THEN, look what happens when I type the word "iPhone" = ALL by ITSELF
SOME forums are BOTH parent AND child - like "Using Apple Support Communities" or "Apple ID"
Yea, my bad, I was just not selecting a valid group.
I also could only type to a certain point on my iPad then the dialogue box refused to accept.......almost like resistance is futile.
Have a good one......
Try tapping the tiny keyboard to dismiss the keyboard. Then tap the screen to bring it back up. See if you can type.
I didnt mention that I'm using a CLamCase keyboard (sorry) The trick with the tiny keyboard thing seems to work now
Hasnt hung up yet........thx
You're welcome.
I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the iPhone Forum and start a new discussion. They should be better able to help you there.
Thank You.
You're welcome. The hosts are fast today I noticed your post has already been moved.
I am having the same problem. Can't even post a question.
You have managed to REPLY here, so that is half the battle.
Try your New Question again - if it is LONG, create it in an external editor like TextEdit and copy/paste it into the question BODY to avoid being logged out due to the login TimeOutLength of ±30 minutes.
If it still fails, quit the browser & restart your Mac or iDevice then try again. Take FULL Display screenshot of the screen just BEFORE you experience the issue AND of the resulting Error - 2 screenshots - then post them here

OS X
⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 3 ' > release all three
to capture a "Dialog box or Alert Message", ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 4 ' > SPACEBAR , the cross-hair cursor will turn into a "Camera" and hilite the dialog > click the mouse button.
The image will be saved to your Desktop as '.png' file and be named differently according to your OS X version.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm guessing it look like my second screenshot above but why not take a moment to learn screenshots.
Have what you want to show on the screen.
Press and release the home and power buttons at the same time, your iPad will flash. Be sure not to hold the buttons down, just press and rellease.
Write the text of your reply.
Move the cursor down two rows by tapping the return key
Tap the camera icon in the edittor bar above.
Tap choose file.
Tap Photo library..
Tap All photos or Screenshots.
Tap the screenshot you want. The most recent is in the lower right
Tap Insert image.
It's a lot of steps, just do them one at a time and let me know if you need help. I'll add a screenshot. 🙂

I am pretty sure I got that little snippet from http://help.apple.com/ipad/9/#/iPad62489e90 (probably the "8" version) - it is a little more verbose in "9"
Pulleeze tell what to add to my text file for future copy/paste instructions - I really like cutting cookies
Please read your reply then read the snippet. If you hold the power button you will power off your future iPad Pro.
