Are there design issues in declined payments and Family Sharing?

In Family Sharing, the Organizer is responsible for billing.  If a purchase fails due to a billing issue the unpaid balance causes all iTunes to become inaccessible until corrected.  The Organizer is not able to identify the cause and Apple recommends "logging in with other members accounts" to resolve the unpaid balance.  Further, you must verify the billing information via the Organizer card security CVV code through the other members account,
Is Apple advocating sharing passwords given the need to "see member purchases."  This seems odd because you are sharing the purchases.
If purchases are billed to the Organizers account, why are they unable to correct an issue within the family?
Is this the best Apple can offer?

I did see your other thread, but kept away from it because it seemed to be getting a bit heated. Some points I did notice:
People suggested that a design involving "thousands" of entities must be bad. This is neither true not nor unusual. An EBS database may have fifty to a hundred thousand entities, no problem. It is not good or bad, just necessary.
The discussion of "how many partitions" got stuck on whether Oracle really can support thousand of partitions per table. Of course it can - though you may find case studies that if you go over twenty or thirty thousand for a table, performance may degrade (shared pool issues, if I remember correctly).
There was discussion of how many partitions anyone needs, with people suggesting "not many". Well, if you range partition per hour with 16 hash sub-partitions (not unreasonable in, for example, a telephone system) you have 384 per day which build up quite quickly unless you merge them.
You own situation has never been fully defined. A few hundred million rows in a few TB is not unusual at all. But when you say "I don't have a specific problem to solve" alarm bells ring: you are trying to solve a problem that does not exist? If you get partitioning right, the benefits can be huge; get it wrong, and it can be a disaster. Don't do it just because you can.  You need to identify a problem and prove, mathematically, that your chosen partitioning strategy will fix it.

  • Are there any billing benefits to have a family shared line?

    Are there any billing benefits to have a family shared line?  Currently I have a family shared 700 minutes w/ 500 texts. Would it be just as cheap to have to separate lines? I am asking this because I have my bro on my plan and am asking if it is saving me any money . Also why do I have to keep dialing *228 to decent internet connection on my phone. so any time I go anywhere i need to dial x228 to get 3g?

    so $60-9+29-6=74 for one line not sure about the second line pricing...
    Hi jackscagnetti, and thanks to our forum members for the great input on this monthly pricing question.
    Using the numbers included on your post it seems like you have a 69.99 calling plan and a $29.99 data plan. Please see break down of fees below and difference between family share plan and individual calling plans.
    Current family share plan:
    Primary line
    $60.00 - Calling plan
    $29.99 - Data feature
    $89.99 - Subtotal
    $09.00 - Credit 15% calling plan
    $06.00 - Credit 20% data feature
    $74.99 - Total monthly fee for primary line (tax and surcharge not included)
    Secondary line
    $09.99 - Calling plan
    $29.99 - Data feature (if Smartphone on this line)
    $39.98 - Total monthly fee for secondary line (tax and surcharge not included)
    $114.97 - Total for 2 lines.
    2 individual lines with a $39.99 calling plan as used on previous scenarios in this forum/thread.
    $39.99 - Calling plan
    $29.99 - Data feature
    $69.98 - Subtotal
    $06.00 - Credit 15% calling plan
    $06.00 - Credit 20% data feature
    $57.98 - Total monthly fee for primary line (tax and surcharge not included).
    $115.96 - Total if system allows employee discount on both lines (tax and surcharge not included).
    $127.96 - Total if system allows discount on one line only (tax and surcharge not included). In both scenarios your monthly fees are lower with a Family Share calling plan.
    Please keep in mind that we can only review your employee discount specifics if we access your account information. Feel free to contact us at 1-800-922-0204 at your convenience for further assistance with any billing issues and be prepared to provide account verification information.

  • Are there known issues with AICC interoperability and IE 8?

    In the process of migrating lessons from Captivate 5 to Captivate 6, hitting a wall with AICC and IE8
    I created and published a short 3 page quiz in Captivate 5.  I then opened the Captivate 5 file in Captivate 6 and published it using the same reporting configuration as in the C5 version.
    The C5 version of the lesson and the C6 version were both loaded into the LMS using the same LMS publishing settings.
    The C5 version launched and scored and completed perfectly in IE8 and in FF 4.
    The C6 version launched and scored in FF 4, but it only launched, but the status remained as "not started" in IE8
    Are there any known issues or fixes for using AICC with IE8?
    Both AICC and IE8 are required elements, SCORM or FFox are not options at this time.
    I had a conference call yesterday with our LMS vendor and a support analyst from Rustici software, and they validated that my publishing settings in Cap 6 and in the LMS seem to be in line with recommended practices.
    I created and published another short quiz using only Captivate 6, and got the same results -  works under FF4, but not IE8.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    This testing will not really address any cross domain issues, due to the content being hosted by ScormCloud.
    What I found interesting, is that in ScormCloud, using the links below, my results were opposite those that I obtained through my LMS.
    In LMS, Captivate 5 worked, Captivate 6 did not in IE8, both worked in FF
    In ScormCloud, Captivate 5 did not work in IE8, but worked in FF, and Captivate 6 did work in FF and IE8.
    Here are the links:

  • Are there known issues with IE 9 and Spry?

    I only ask because I just downloaded IE 9 and my web page is no longer working correctly.  Well I should rephrase that, it works for about my first 50 records, then it messes up for one record, it works for the next X records then messes up.  Firefox 4 doesn't have this issue and neither does IE 8.  IE 8 though loads the data extremely slow while IE 9 cruises.
    The issue is that some of my fields are moved over so for example the data displays last name in the first name field, the first name is displayed in company and company is displayed in State and so on.
    I decided to try a few things in testing this issue.  First I started to put the records back into my source html in groups.  I was able to get all the way through the letter I and then when I started to enter records that started with a last name of J the issue occurred, strangely enough it wasn't the person with a J last name that the issue occurred on but someone earlier.  So I removed the J records and tried again and all was good.  I then tried with the K last names, same thing.  So I figured it was a maximum record size or something so I removed one of the last records where the last name began with an I and replaced it with a record that the last name started with a J.  Still the issue persisted.  If I sorted by last name, the issue went away.  The table would sort and all the columns would line up fine.  I though maybe it was something with data starting with J or K.  So I removed all records from my source file and inserted J and K records and everything worked fine so it has nothing to do with what the last name started with or anything like that.  One final thing I did notice is that when I sort when all my records are part of the data file, the records sort but the columns don't fix themselves.  There are 431 records that are a part of my data file.
    I'm sorry I can't show any data or a link to the site, the customer doesn't want any of the names of the people posted and their site is locked down with passwords.
    Thanks!

    The cause of the problem is not the same.
    In your case it takes forever to load the thumbnails from flickr.com; the SpryDataSets without the loading of the thumbnails works as expected.
    Remember that ALL of the thumbnails for each 60 odd projects are downloaded from flickr, that is about 1800 thumbnails.

  • I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 3TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad.  are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

    I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife.  we both have kindles and i have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad with kindle app?

    You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
    The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
    If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
    Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

  • Are there still issues with HDMI with Fios and samsung Tvs

    Are there still issues with HDMI with Fios and samsung Tvs?  If so what samsung Tvs are affected? I have the HP T4254 42 inch plasma.  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    HDMI issues abound with all providers and all TV manufacturers. Samsung does seem to have its fair share of the complaints, and not just with Verizon FIOS. Always make sure you have the latest firmware for your TV. Others seem to find success by reverting to component plus audio cables (still full 1080i). A quick search of these forum for "HDMI handshake issues" will reveal several threads for you to study. Also try other forums for other providers. Another resource is avsforum.com where you can specifically search for problems unique to your very model of TV.

    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.

  • Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

    If there is a pattern of the application working up to Firefox 3.6.3 and not working starting with Firefox 3.6.4, there could be a problem with trying to communicate events between firefox.exe (which hosts pages) and plugin-container.exe (which hosts some plugins). You can tweak your settings to force plugins to run in firefox.exe to see whether this is the problem. This article has some background information on that:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    ''Do you know if there are problems with Firefox 3.6 when you double click in a JSP/JAVA/Javascript application?''
    No, I don't know. Obviously I can't read every post here, but I haven't read about it before.
    Is it a stupid question to ask: why does that matter?? To fix the application to work in Firefox 3.6 and above, we need to see a page that works on other browsers and fails in Firefox. It doesn't need to be the whole application, just enough to demonstrate the problem so that if we solve it, then you can apply that learning back to your application.

  • Are there any issues with changing IP address of an ACS v5.3 system after initial setup?

    I am migrating from ACS v4.2.1 to v5.3.  I want the final v5.3 system to assume the IP address of the original 4.2 machine so I don't have to change any configs on the network devices.
    Are there any issues with changing the v5.3 system IP address AFTER the initial setup?

    I tried it without a problem. I changed the ip address of the WLC many times.
    You have to make sure though that:
    1-) You change the switchport accordingly to the appropriate vlan if the new ip belongs to a subnet of a different vlan.
    2-) Make sure that all AAA clients configured to use the new IP address of the ACS servers.
    Here is the procedure how to change the ip of the interface (as per cisco doc):
    http://goo.gl/0BYqVT
    I changed also by normal ip address command and it works. but of course the server must be standalone before doing that step (i.e. no secondary ACSs registered to it and it is not registered to other ACSs in a distributoin).
