A follow up question to Introducing Apple Recommends, Manage Subscriptions, and This Helped Me

I think the phrase ... All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy ... says it all.

Thanks for publicly sharing your opinion of me - good to know.

@ Chitlins:

Thanks - the term "law enforcement" would have sufficed nicely.

That'll be it for me here.

" LE " is what the younger generation - you know, the ones this forum is designed for? - calls the Police. You used the term " law enforcement " - I found that term popping into your head instead of some other kinda odd - we used to call those a "Freudian Slip".

Learn the Lingo or continue to be considered by the "installed base" the 'grumpy teacher' and we of your generation the 'hall monitor'

regarding the former... I think you flatter yourself

No, "LE" is not what the younger generation calls Law Enforcement. Some Agents in Federal and State enforcement agencies call them "LEOs", young people call them "PoPo". "LE" is just a two-letter acronym you made up. Just like the TLA "AID" for AppleID.

My 25 y/o son uses "LE"

"PoPo" is indeed used - by them - mainly drug culture (I think)

Gangsta Rappers have also used a term we are all familiar with from the Jack Lord TV show = " FIVE-O "

Urban Dictionary ranks " LE " as "law enforcement" acronym #4 of 23

I've never heard anyone use the term "LE". But I don't hang around prostitutes. I've never seen anyone but you use it here. Same for AID. In both cases the usage hinders communication. My sister uses PoPo. She picked it up from the show Cops. She hasn't heard the term LE on the show. Five-0 went out of favor for a long time.

1. I heard it first (I believe) from my close pal - Special Agent-in-Charge of the Dallas Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (RET.) - maybe HE got it from all the 'escorts' HE knew 😎 - i coulda heard it from Allan Jones as well (if you know HIS background - I don't think he keeps it 'secret')
2. No biggie... I will be sure and not keep you in particular in mind when I use acronyms or abbreviations - OR, if you prefer, I will use proper "usage" techniques
   Apple ID (AID) for first use then AID thereafter
3. Sister is an expert linguist from COPS?
4. Depends on your representative sample, I guess - statistics are what you choose to make of them

On top of everything else a name dropper. Should have known.

which one? the one I did not drop but only gave a title or our good friend Allan?

I 'spose I will just have to remain, the burr under your saddle

OK, title dropper. I've never seen Allan use the term here. While I appreciate his posts and knowledge here I would not really describe him as my "good friend". I reserve that for actual friends I have. I don't think I ever heard Danny use the term either.

Citing my source(s).

Never said I saw AJ use it here. MY Good Friend then.

If you mean Defenbaugh on TV like he was often back in the day, I am not sure why he would speak in UrbanSlang then or now - if another "Danny", I am bumfuzzled as to who you might mean.

help and support me to fix my Apple and fix it !!!! thanks

You will be better off starting your own thread in the relevant forum on here and providing information that might be useful in helping people to help you e.g. what are you trying to do, what happens when you do it, any error messages that you get, the device (iPad, iPhone, iPod) or computer that you are using and the operating system version on it

Sensei... methinks 'tis a result of "The Law of Unintended Consequences" of the Sticky Thread at the top of every page these days

when one clicks the link, it a "Locked" thread. Following the reading of the text, one ends up at the bottom of the page where one finds no less than 3 links to this thread in which we now participate.

alas, those pesky unintended consequences

ÇÇÇ

PS: maybe in a year or two, when I achieve the necessary status, I will create a User Tip expanding upon 's "How to write a good question" to include:

• How to find the right place to post your Question (chosen at the bottom of the composition page just before the [Post] action button
• How to write a Title that briefly explains the gist of the issue (NOT write the question in the title and then paste it in the body, verbatim)

Notice the reply in this discussion is recommended, yet no one clicked "This helped me".

How do I create an Apple ID without entering credit card info on (5s) iOS 8.2?

-Ethan

Yep. Nope. Likely was reviewed by the AppleFolk and deemed worthy - I can see why... 3 sentences that tells it all - Executive Summary + link to play-by-play Apple Support Document.

Here's another one with just ONE "This helped me" and IT is MINE after the fact!

how do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

buenos tardes, Ethan

Yes, but it was a question asked about iTunes for Mac and the document linked is in the iTunes for Windows area and some of the solution only applies to the Windows platform (the De-Duper script). 😉 😁
