Adding devices automatically or manually

Hi,
I'll start adding the devices to MARS, but am confused which method to use, shall i make it Automatically, so MARS will discover the network? or add the devices manually one by one?
As i heared, if i added them automatically, the toplogy after discovering the network will not be same as adding them manually, manually i'll have a fully cleared, detaild and connected topology graph in MARS which is not there if used the auto discovery method.
Kindly correct me if i'm wrong, and advice how to add the devices and what is the different between the two methods?
Regards
Rami

Hi Rami,
Automatic discovery of devices in MARS cannot discover all devices. Your topology will not be correct just by automatic discovery because automatic discovery cannot discover layer 2 devices. Also, automatic discovery only works by SNMP community strings. With automatic discovery, it will not fill in other access information that might be needed for mitigation purposes. So, it isn't really a question of automatic or manual, you will probably want to use both. There is an excellent online document explaining the whole process which includes doing both automatic and manual discovery. It will also discuss seed files which can be used to import devices through a .csv file.

If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

Just wondering, what context is this in?
First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
Hope this all helps a bit

LMS 3.2 Adding Devices Manually

Can anyone tell me if I need a seed devices to add devices manually or can I just bypass this portion of the setup since I'm NOT going to be discovering anything with Ciscoworks.(My envoronment is to complex to perform and discovering) Or do I need a seed device anyhow for functionality of Ciscoworks and other processes?
Please advaise & thank you in advance,
Erick

If you are adding devices manually, there is no need for a seed device. The whole purpose of seed devices is to use it as staging for discovering neighboring devices.
There is a great document written on the CSDiscovery process in LMS by Joe.

CiscoWorks: Adding device in CS but it's in pending devices in RME.

Hi,
I have fresh installed the LMS 3.2.1 without any errors. Then I am adding device in CS, give it correct credentials. Its appears in RME automatically, but it always remain in Pending devices in RME.
I have run a job in RME to check the devices credentials and it's appearing that credentials for snmp are wrong but ssh/ telnet appears as "did not try". Although I have added the correct credentials in CS for device, but it appearing as wrong in RME.
Also when I add device in CS, it's not automatically picking it's device type, until in CS I define its device type manually.
Please advise a solution for thiss problem.
Thanks

This usually indicates that SNMP contact to the devices fails
I use the CLI tools like \CSCOpx\objects\jt\bin\snmpwalk.exe to check this.
Cheers,
Michel

Setting the time automatically, or manually yet still gives wrong time.

Ever since I've updated my 5c, the time keeps messing around. It's never the right time. I've tried manual and also set it automatically. It keeps delaying in time and gives wrong hour/minutes. I cannot set the alarm or do anything because the time is just wrong. I don't have a problem with my other apple devices regarding the new software update, it's just with this phone.

Hello Basilsami,
It sounds like your phone is not keeping the correct time and date, either when set to automatic, or manual. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3920
Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.
Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.
Additional Information
Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My iphone 5 clock is not working properly. I've tried to reset it, and update the clock automatically and manually, and the time is still off. My alarms aren't working because of this, and I need my phone to work properly.

Automatic time is a function of your Wireless carrier. Your post indicates that your iPhone (5 or 5c) is running iOS 7.0.6. The current version is 7.1.1. You might try updating your device to the current iOS version.

Calendar Adding Alerts Automatically - Do Not Want!

Hello all,
For some reason, Calendar has been adding alerts automatically and I do not want this to be happening. In my Calendar preferences on my Macbook Pro, I have all alerts set to "none." This only happens on newly created calendars for some reason.
The problem goes a bit futher, though, and my iPhone 4 (running 6.1) and iPad 2 (running 6.1) are also adding alerts automatically. I scrupulously deleted all the alerts that Calendar created (from my Macbook), updated my devices, only to find that there were still alerts on them. I have all alerts from Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Alert Times set to "none" on both devices.
I do not use iCloud or Google Calendars.
What on earth is going on and how do I fix it?

I understand how IMAP works. Thanks.
The problem is that the iPhone is automatically, without user input, deleting everything from the InBox. This is determined by the log on the server. I traced the IP of the device that is deleting the email back to the iPhone.

Changing settings from automatic to manual sync

I've just started using my ipod nano and originally set it up to sync automatically with itunes. However, I've now downloaded a lot of things that are used for slide shows, etc. that I don't necessarily want loaded onto the ipod. How can I now change the setting to manual? I read the directions but was stumped from the very beginning when I was told to go to the "source list" and choose ipod nano. Did not know what the source list was and could find the words "ipod nano" no where. Any suggestions?

The source list is the long pane on the left hand side of iTunes where you see the icons for Music, Movies, playlists etc. When you connect your iPod it should appear in this pane under a heading named "Devices". Devices only appears when you have your iPod connected. When it shows, click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main section on the right. In the iPod Summary tab (which is the first tab) to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Turbo boost is automatically or manually?

My MBP is 8,2 with 2.2G CPU. I noticed that there's turbo boost like Turbo boost to 3.0G.... Can I manually boost my CPU or that is an automatically job user can't control?

How do I automatically or manually add incoming e-mail addresses to my address book?

How do I automatically or manually add incoming e-mail addresses to my address book?

Automatically? Really?? All addresses of all senders just sucked into the address book, spammers, advertisers and all?
Where an address appears in the panel above the message text, there is a star alongside it. Click this star to add the address to your Address Book. Once you have done that, you can click the star again to edit the address book entry.
Note that if the star is empty/grey (silver?) the contact is unknown. If the star is filled/yellow (gold?), the Contact is already in your address book. (This is very like the way bookmarks are managed in Firefox.)
If you really want all senders' addresses entered indiscriminately into your address book, this add-on may be of interest.

Automatic and manual batch determination at the time of Goods receipt

hi,
where i can have the settings for automatic and manual batch determination at the time of Goods receipt and goods issue..
E.g.: If i am receiving material from vendor then my requirement is system will generate batch automatically...
Where we can get this setting?
Tx
Uts

Dear,
You assign the batch number either
Manually
Automatically, using internal batch number assignment, refer to Customizing for Batch Management under Internal batch number assignment.
Internal batch number assignment is activated for the complete client, unless you exempt individual plants or materials using a customer exit (see Configure customer exits for intern. batch number assignment in Customizing for Batch Management).
The R/3 System informs you that the internal batch number assignment is active. You are however only informed once per transaction, for example, when you enter the first item on the multiple-entry screen.

ITunes automatically checks Manually manage music and videos????

Every time I connect my Classic or Nano, iTunes automatically checks Manually manage music and videos. If you uncheck this option it wants to erase your iPod, Classic or Nano and create a new sync which takes hours.
So to be specific. When start the first sync I have the following checked:
Open iTunes when this iPod is connected.
Enable Disk use.
After doing a 2 hour sync and then reconnecting, it has automatically checked Manually manage music and videos. When you uncheck it wants to reload your entire Library. Which takes 2-3 hours. The problem with Manually..... it doesn't sync new additions to the Library.
I am starting to become an Apple hater. They are going the way of Microsoft. You call Apple tech support and they want to charge you per incident. And Lion is a disaster. I was an early convert to Apple and now I am getting really cranky.

I was thinking the other way.
Checking Manually manage Music and Videos does not erase the content (even though it says it will).

Is this possible in TIDAL , Change the Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData) service Startup Type from 'Automatic' to 'Manual

1) Shutdown the Domino server (Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData) service)
2) Change the Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData) service Startup Type from 'Automatic' to 'Manual'
3) Reboot the server
4) Defragment the drive (D:\ or F:\)
5) Change the Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData) service Startup type from 'Manual' to 'Automatic'
6) Reboot the server
Any help would be appreciated.

Binu - are you wanting to automate this process with TES?
There is a windows cmd command "net stop" and "net start" you can use to stop and start a service.
You will need to work with your windows admin or look online for a command line way to change the service to manual and to start the defrag.
There is a shutdown command that can be run from cmd. It has a switch to force the reboot.
You might also check out scripting with WMI.
Hope this helps,

How to search for BT device automatically every x seconds?

I have a Trust BT-2100p which came with the Toshiba Bluetooth software.
I can connect my Bluetooth remote control to my HTPC, but when I disconnect and want to reconnect again, I have to right click on the device, press "connect" and then "OK" in the popup window before it starts searching.
The whole point with the remote is that I don't need a keyboard or a mouse.
I can make a simple .bat-file that starts the connection automatically every x seconds, but it can't press the "OK" button.
Is there a way to make it search for the device automatically every x seconds?

HID devices are automatically connected as soon as a button was pressed on it. I checked the internet regarding your WII devices. The problem in your case is that this devices supports a none standard function which must be configured first in oder to reconnect by HID automatically. So this has to be done by the software which you mentioned. It has to configure the controller which should be used. This device support 4 of it.

How do i switch from automatic to manual download of songs to my iPad from my iTunes library

how do i switch from automatic to manual download of my songs to my ipad in my itunes library

You can still manually add songs to the iPad even if the option is not set. Just drag them to iPad same way as when the option is set.
Select the iPad, click the Summary tab and tick Manually manage music and videos.
