A definitive answer please: Can OS X server push iCal/mail notifications to iOS devices?

Can somebody please answer this definitively?
Can OS X Server 10.6 push iCal and Mail notifications to iOS 4.x devices?
Apple's documentation states that OS X Server supports push notifications to OS X 10.6 *clients* - but makes no mention of iOS devices. I find that strange because iOS devices stand to gain the most benefit from push functionality.
I've seen several posts in this forum that seem to indicate that iOS devices are supported, but no clear instructions on how to configure push to support them. My own attempts at doing so have failed - the mail and CalDAV accounts on both my iPhone and iPad only show support for manual / fetch methods, not push.

Hi
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3947
IOS devices are specifically mentioned towards the bottom. AFAIK Push is fully supported in Exchange Mail Server.
Moreover and AFAIK Apple Mail does not support Push from OSX Server. However iCal is supported. In reality the 'IMAP idle' setting gives the appearance of 'Push' Mail and IMAP idle works fine on my IOS devices and for my needs is 'Pushy' enough.
My 2p & HTH?

How to integrate flash media server 4.0 live streaming for iOS devices ?

Hi All,

Thanks in Adavnce

You need to place the crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Create a text file in the webroot folder using notepad, and call it crossdomain.xml. The text below will give you a wide open access policy, which is fine for testing.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
For debugging HTTP streaming I recommend you get hold of something like Charles or Fiddler. These will greatly assist in pinpointing any issues.

Can't get rid of MASSIVE mail notification number!

Hi all,
So recently - maybe this is an iOS 6 thing - everytime I search for an older email through Mail, it continues to look on the server (naturally), and when it finds mail that is relevant, it ups my mail notification number. Even when I get out of the search, the unread mail messages - well their notifications anyway - remain on my phone. There are pictures below to help explain:
So as you can see - even though my inbox says I have 83 messages, I actually only have 3. Any ideas how to get rid of that number?
Best,
Chris

I can't see your first photo above, but I can see the second.
You hypothesize that you show three messages there. I see at least nine, because there are at least four from Daryl, at least four from Kimberly, and at least one from Chris.
So to start, I suggest clicking on those right arrows to see what lies below the surface you've shown here.
Another thing to try is to reset your iPhone. Hold the home and on/off buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears. See if that helps.

Yahoo server unable to connect email on iOS devices

Yahoo server will not connect to iOS devices...yahoo password was changed,but devices do not connect to server...but main computer will connect to yahoo using new password

Wait it out. I had one of my accounts do that last night, this morning it's working fine.
Yahoo must be mucking with their servers again and all users can do is wait for things to get back to normal.
Last night I couldn't even get my mail via safari so it was totally futzed

HP Printer can no longer be found wirelessly by Mac and iOS devices?

I have an HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw printer which has been successfully connected wirelessly for quite some time. I recently replaced an older Time Capsule (flat square) with one of the new tower-looking Time Capsules, and the same replacement for an Airport Express I use as an access point. Again this is all the same setup as previously.
The issue is none of the devices can find the printer wirelessly anymore, despite the fact that the printer reports it's on the network and operating fine, and I can see the printer in the Printers & Scanners/Add window. I have attempted downloading and reinstalling the software from HP, deleting old printers in the Preferences panel and reinstalling from there, and nothing has worked. If I try to re-add the printer using the Bonjour Multifunction entry and AirPrint as the driver, it gets as far as the "Setting up the device" progress dialog and then fails with an error that reads: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time."
I have tried setting up an IP reservation for the printer and using the IP setup in the Add window (instead of the default); with and without the HP Jetdirect protocol; using the AirPrint driver and the selected HP series driver -- no success with any choice.
So far my only workaround is connecting it by USB to the nearest Mac and sharing it on the network using Printer Sharing. This is not the ideal solution, of course, since it means my iOS devices still can't find it and the Mac needs to be turned on 24/7 to share out the printer. I bought this printer originally specifically for its AirPrint capability so I could print to it from iPads and iPhones as well as my Macs. Currently I can't print from any iOS devices so it's rather painful.
Any suggestions to get this fixed will be much appreciated

Reset the TC to factory and start again..
New names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgen5 base station name.
I also strongly recommend using different names for the bands when things go wrong. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
Use WPA2 personal security with a short pure alphanumeric password.. (short meaning 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers)
Redo the setup of the Express based on the new setup.
Redo the connection of the printer to the wireless network.
Test the printer by pinging it from the computer.
Delete all drivers in the computer for the printer.. and start over.
That generally will get it running.
If not use the old TC as a wireless AP for printer connection .. by doing extend wireless with it and placing it near the printer.

Can I use iCloud to stream videos to my iOS devices, similar to Apple TV?

Basically I want to know if it's possible to stream my video purchases from iTunes to my iOS devices the same way Apple TV does. And if connecting my iPod Touch to the same cloud would do the trick.
I tried using home sharing but it's not very practical since I have to leave my laptop on in order for it to work.

You should be able to if your device is signed in with the Apple ID used to purchase the movies in Settings>iTunes & App Store, with Videos turned on under Show All. You should then be be able to open the Videos app, tap Movies, tap the one you want to play, then tap the play arrow.
Note: this has nothing to do with your iCloud account. This is a separate services called "iTunes in the Cloud", which is based on your iTunes Apple ID, not your iCloud account ID (although they may be the same).

How can I share my iMovie projects in Mac with IOS devices?

Hi
I have a Mac when I develop my iMovie videos, and other IOS devices (iphone and Ipad), but to share my video projects, I need to do with iTunes and so.
Is there any other way to do it? with icloud?
It is complex for me to share / syncronice files (ibooks also) between apple devices.
Thanks

Easiest way - email yourself the files
open the PDF
It will provide you the option to open or view in iBooks
they will remain in iBooks when you do so

Can anyone help with iTunes library not showing on iOS devices?

I cannot view my iTunes library on my iOS devices. The tabs that used to be at the bottom of both the music and video apps are no longer there. My appleTV sees it just fine though. I have tried turning home-sharing off and back on againon both the computer and iOS devices. Quitting apps on the iOS devices, and exiting iTunes on my mac, and restarting them again. Nothing has worked so far. All I get when I bring up either app is "No Content" and the store button. This started before the iOS 7 update. Has anyone seen this yet? Is there a fix for it? Thanks!

I used to see that in iOS6 once in a while. Close the apps and reboot the iPad and then look in the apps again. You know how to close the apps so close them first.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can I: Use itunes match on computer only, not ios devices

Would this allow me to manually sycn ios devices?
Or once match is turned on your computer there is no manual sync?
I have an old ios 4.x device for which match will not work.

Yes. I have devices that I use match on and some that I just sync the old fashioned way where I choose which playlists to sync to the device. All the content you sync this way has to be stored on the computer you're syncing with though.

A definitive answer? : Can you use Audition on a Mac??!

I have heard all sorts of conflicting views on this and I thought someone here would be able to set the record straight! I wanted to get a Mac, because I like them, but I use Audition all the time for my work. Is a Mac a good idea? If not, could anyone recommend the best sort of laptop to get if you're going to be doing a lot of audio editing (for radio).
Thanks a lot!
Rachel

Hey - I've just signed up to get the benefit of the experience & wisdom of audio experts. It looks like I can expect plenty of that so thank you in advance.
From this thread, seems like I can also get some opinion without much basis in fact and outright paranioa too. Just an observation and not a criticism - I have my own foibles to bring to the party too ;-)
here's some facts from me.
I run and work in an environment of mixed Windows and Macs - initially, around 30 Windows audio workstations and a handful of Macs. I've been here since the days of analogue tape; my first audio editor was Cool Edit on Windows 3.11.
The cheaper purchase price of the Win machines is soon offest by the much higher cost of maintenance, repair and replacement. Windows workstations need replacing after 3 years - some of them will have broken beyond repair in that time. The Macs are on a five year replacement program - but they often run longer than that. Yes, Macs break down but nowhere near as much as the Win PCs. This is true for towers and laptops. I refuse to buy any more Win laptops as even the best brands fail so quickly. I now by mac laptops and often they're used in Windows only. Last year we replaced 20 Win workstations with dual boot Macs so we now use both OS's side by side. We only still run Windows because Audition is our audio tool of choice.
Macs do not get viruses. Period. We have no virus or malware protection measures on the Mac side and we have no problems. Zero. We've had massive virus issues on the Windows side, particularly spread by USB memory sticks. With later versions of XP and now 7, it's got a lot better but we still have to run extra software (that slows down performance) on Windows and spend a lot of time updating definitions etc.This is a high cost and should be factored into cost considerations.
Macs are suspecptible to trojans of course - but not as much as Win. There are simply fewer of them and the OS is implemented in an inherently more secure way. That said, if some plonker is going to open dodgy email attachments or going clicking around 'exotic' websites, then they are effectively inviting the vampire over the threshold- whatever the OS and hardware! But Macs do not 'catch' viruses like Windows.
I've been running Audition on my Mac laptops for years under emulation and straight Windows - since Windows 98 SP2. I'm writing this on a five year old MacBook Pro - it's a laptop and it gets hammered and carried everywhere daily in a tatty padded bag. On it I run Audition 1.5 under Parallels (XP), happily getting sound in and out, using a variety of internal and external sound cards (FW & USB). There was once a problem with an M-Audio driver but it was fixed next update and none since. As it's one of the earliest ones, it's maxed out at 2GB RAM and it has the standard 5200 rpm hard drive & 2.16 Core Duo (note: mine's not a Core 2 Duo, which is the current spec and much faster), so you can see it's way below the current models' spec. If I'm doing a big project in Audition with lots of resources running, I use a dedicated modern desktop computer, but for my day in,day out work, my old laptop copes well. I tried Audition 3 on it and it seemed to work ok but the licence was for another machine so I didn't test it in anger. Two people I know with recent Macbook Pros run Windows & Mac OS together and I'm amazed at the ease and speed of them. When my employer allows me, I hope to upgrade to one of those but as long as this old faithful keeps going, I've no chance.
If I had my personal choice it would be Mac all the way - not because it's perfect, but cos it's the better option. But I know and work with people whose knowledge and experience I respect who think the same about Windows. We get on well together.
BTW, the information from someone about one button mouses is a decade or more out of date. With my mac I use the trackpad (which gets 'right-clicks' & more) and often a two button+scroll wheel Microsoft mouse. If we're going to help each other out today, lets not talk ancient history.
I'm about to make more purchases for streaming audio on the web. I'll be installing Audition on these, of course. I'll probably be buying Windows computers to do this because the start budget is too small. But I'll expect to be replacing these in a couple of years and I know from experiecne they'll be less reliable than a Mac tower that would cost almost twice as much. That's a false economy and false efficiency in my view, but it's a strategic choice and it will work well till it breaks.
To summarize, so far I've found no perfect solutions to computer based audio issues - all setups will have their problems. But it is both possible - and to me prefereable - to run Audition on current Macs. And while the initial purchase price of Mac options looks expensive, the total cost of ownership is probably at least equal if not less - but the experience along the way is much less troublesome, more productive and happier.
Enjoy your audio editing whatever it's on.
