Using FaceTime for first time on mini iPad

When I verify my apple Id to use face time, it goes back to sign in page for FaceTime. I have checked my apple Id and it says it is verified. If I use another device to try FaceTime myself it says my email address is not available to FaceTime.
The apple website shows illustrations for set up showing FaceTime on off button. When I go into FaceTime icon on my mini iPad I do not have an on off button.

Hello,
Here is an Apple help article on this issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
I hope that helps.

Jake

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

Hello Group Members,
This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
daily cube refresh?
Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_levels
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?

Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Thanks Richard and Charlie,
We have implemented the solution/suggestions in our DEV environment and we have seen a definite improvement. We are waiting this to be deployed in UAT environment to note down the actual performance and time improvement while browsing the cube for the
first time after daily cube refresh.
Guys,
This is what we have done:
We have 4 cube databases and each cube db has 1-8 cubes.
1. We are doing daily cube refresh using SQL jobs as follows:
<Batch xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
<Parallel>
<Process xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ddl2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2" xmlns:ddl2_2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2/2" xmlns:ddl100_100="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2008/engine/100/100" xmlns:ddl200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200" xmlns:ddl200_200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200/200">
<Object>
<DatabaseID>FINANCE CUBES</DatabaseID>
</Object>
<Type>ProcessFull</Type>
<WriteBackTableCreation>UseExisting</WriteBackTableCreation>
</Process>
</Parallel>
</Batch>
2. Next we are creating a separate SQL job (Cache Warming - Profitability Analysis) for cube cache warming for each single cube in each cube db like:
CREATE CACHE FOR [Profit Analysis] AS
{[Measures].members}
*[TIME].[FINANCIAL QUARTER].[FINANCIAL QUARTER]
3. Finally after each cube refresh step, we are creating a new step of type T-SQL where we are calling these individual steps:
EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'Cache Warming - Profit Analysis';
GO
I will update the post after I receive the actual im[provement from UAT/ Production environment.
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Have been using FaceTime for long time with same person, for the last two weeks when trying to connect, we get connection failed message, something change in settings that we should look at?

Now getting FaceTime failed message when trying to connect with a person that were connecting successfully with up unto two weeks ago, has something changed?

Take a look around you here in this forum. Many people are talking about having problems using FaceTime. A few users claim to have contacted Apple and Apple says that they are aware of an issue with FaceTime and that they are working on it.
Some users claim that upgrading to iOS 7 solved there problem with FaceTime. Take a look around the forum and read some of the other discussions.

Can't login in to FaceTime for first time?

I recently bought my first MacBook Pro and tried to sign in to FaceTime and I haven't been able to. It says to check the connection but I am connected to the internet. I'm not sure what the problem is or how tos solve it.
Any tips?

I called Apple Support (no charge...Applecare) regarding my "Error processing registration" problem.
The solution was: do a Safe Boot (Shutdown, keep Shift depressed while powering on, until the Apple logo appears) and then Facetime was able to register successfully.
Upon Restarting and allowing a normal bootup, Facetime registerd successfully and I've been happily using it.

Using RMI for first time (Serializable??)

Hi, I am trying to do this assignment using Java RMI, and this is my first encouter with RMI. I am getting an error when I am trying to call a function remotely that returns a Vector of data. I get this error:
Error in lookup: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested
exception is:
java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: Registered
Registered are the objects that are stored in my vector. What does it mean by NotSerializable?

Here is my "data" registered(i know its named weird...)
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Registered implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     public String username;
     public String password;
     public boolean loginStatus;
     public String hostname;
     public int port;
     public Registered(String name, String pass){
          super();
          username=name;
          password=pass;
          loginStatus=false;
          hostname=null;
          port=0;
     public String getName(){
          return username;
     public String getPassword(){
          return password;
     public String getHostname(){
          return hostname;
     public int getPort(){
          return port;
     public boolean getLoginStatus(){
          return loginStatus;
     public void setHostname(String hostname) {
          this.hostname = hostname;
     public void setLoginStatus(boolean loginStatus) {
          this.loginStatus = loginStatus;
     public void setPort(int port) {
          this.port = port;
}

Mail acts like I'm using it for first time when I've had it for years

I've used Apple Mail for several years and have my accounts set up, but when I launched it today, I got the "Welcome to Mail" interface and it's asking me to set up my accounts.
I had this problem before, but forgot how to fix it. I would like to be able to get at all my old emails and all of that.

Probably little value in reinstalling Mail -- the issue is likely within your User Account, and not the application. Removing the com.apple.mail.plist file and the Mail folder from Home/Library/Preferences and Home/Library/Mail will allow you to have a fresh start. You can test this in advance by the following:
Create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up this one or both Gmail accounts. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
This will be a useful test, and it not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of the Mail application outside of your normal User Account and its existing setup data.

Using isync for first time to update address book

I just upgraded to Tiger and thought finally I could back up my contacts from my Motorola RAZR V3i.
However the sync process only works one way i.e. updating the phone from the address book on the Mac, and does not import any contacts from the phone.
Is this normal I can't find an answer elsewhere
thx

Synchronising is a two-way process, once all set-up correctly.
From experience I've found its best to start off with your data on the Mac first, although by using the Merge on First Sync option, in theory, you should be able to get your contacts from the phone. This doesn't always seem to work.
I don't know anything about Motorola phones, but if they have an option to Send all Contacts by Bluetooth (as vCards), use that to import your data in Address Book initially.

Used itunes for first time. Now when I open Firefox none of my previous tabs show and it opens itunes. I want my old tabs back!

Firefox automatically opens to itunes. I seem to have lost all my other tabs. When I look at firefox options, it still says it will open to my home page but it does not. It opens to itunes and all my other tabs are missing.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Help pleeeease Using Mac for first time, can't set desktop, logged in but seems to be read only

help please, tearing my hair out!

What do you intend to do?
On desktop, on a new Mac, usually there's only the menu bar on top, an alias to your HDD (may not be displayed as default on recent systems), and your dock at bottom screen.
If you want to find system settings, it's called System Preferences, and you'll find it by clicking on the apple in menu bar.

HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.
The User Guide would be good for you to read:

Hi ,
I'm really sorry to hear about this - let me see if I can help, or at least point you in the right direction. Have you tried clearing your cache or cookies on your browser? This may help. Alternatively, you could try registering on a different browser (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox) for example. Let me know if the above helps - if it doesn't, I'll see what I can do to help further. Cheers,

My refurbished iPad 3 charged for first time it and charger got very hot is that normal

just replaced my refurbished iPad 3 with another. Tried to charge it for first time. Noticed it got very hot and so did charger. I don't recall my other iPad doing this is this a defect in the ipad?

Define "hot".
If fully drained both the battery (that essentially fills up most of the body of the device) and the charger will get quite warm, though not unbearable. Time to charge will vary according to device: my iPad 4 takes about 6 hours if almost flat, but takes about 40 min if at 75%.
Be sure to use ONLY its original charger OR chargers that are rated for iPads. They draw twice the current as phones and will cause phone chargers to get much warmer than usual.
