Always Connected Means What, Exactly?

I've heard the term "always connected" bandied about with respect to version 8 "Professional". What does that mean?

Sounds like marketing hype to me. I will take a guess that they are referring to the fact that it is web based and therefore can be accessed from most any internet connected device (smartphone/tablet/laptop/etc...).

  • "not responding" means what, exactly?

    As we all know, Application Monitor (as well as the Force-Quit dialog, and I think other places) shows those nifty "(not responding)" suffixes highlghted in red when a process is working ovetime or simply hung.  I'm curious what triggers that, and how it can be captured from unix.
    Here's what I think I know (from a lot of time spent on google and looking at man pages):
    the 'not responding' cue means that the app is not reponding to system calls for roughly 2 seconds (with no explanation of what system calls are being tried or how they fail)
    that Application Monitor mirrors the unix top utility (though there's nothing in top that correlates to 'not responding' - 'stuck' has a different meaning)
    that nothing in the ps utility corresponds to 'not responding'
    that this is one of those things that's going to drive me batty until I figure it out.
    So what does 'not responding' in activity monitor *actually* mean, in unix terms?  I'm not looking for a way to kill processes (I know how to do that), and the obvious things like top's 'stuck' indicator are wrong, and not what I'm after.  I just want to know how I can leverage/mimic/replicate that 'not responding' thing that seems so simple in Application Monitor.  Where-oh-where in unix (or anywhere else) can this result be produced?
    DankeDankeDanke... 

    "Not Responding" is NOT a Unix concept.  Because if the process can be killed it is (Forced Quit), then it is still alive as far as Unix is concerned.
    It is my guess that "Not Responding" means the application is not pulling items from its "Event Queue", so it will not see the "Quit" event, or any "Key Clicks", "Button Clicks", etc....
    From a Unix perspective there are only 2 kinds of processes that cannot be killed.  Those that are already dead (Zombies), and a process that is stuck in the kernel, and the kernel code is not checking to see if any kill signals have been issued against the process.
    A Zombie is a process "In Name Only", as all its resources have been released, and it just has a small process structure that is waiting for its parent process to collect the process' termination status.  A Zombie process CANNOT consume CPU time, it has not really memory to speak of, nor do any I/O.  If there are Zombie processes, they are generally the result of a program that was not paying attention and did not issue Unix 'wait()' calls to collect the status from an subprocess they created.  If the parent process exits without collecting their child process completion status, all the child processes get inherited by the Mac OS X /sbin/launchd process (PID 1) and /sbin/launchd will issue the wait() calls (on other Unix systems PID 1 is called 'init', but it provides the same orphaned child status collection services).  So to have a Zombie, the parent must still exist, but not care enough to collect the child process completion status.
    The stuck in a kernel process is a full process that most likely has tripped over some kind of kernel bug.  It can consume CPU (its most likely talent),  tie up RAM, and cannot be killed via Force-Quit (kill -9, which cannot be ignored).  However, kill signals are delivered as a process is leaving kernel space and returning to user space.  So if a process is stuck in kernel space, and does not check to see if a signal has been delivered (the only way signals are honored in kernel code), and does not return to user space, then it cannot be killed.  However, this also signifies a bug in the kernel, as properly written kernel code should either quickly do its thing, and return, or if it needs to wait for something, check for signals and gracefully back-out.
    If you have an unkillable process, the only way to cure that is to reboot.
    A "Not Responding" app can generally be killed, so it neither a Zombie nor an unkillable Unix process.  Thus my conclusion that "Not Responding" is not a Unix concept, and why I suspect it is an application not checking its "Event Queue".
    An Event Queue is a user mode GUI framework concept.  And has nothing to do with Unix, which is why there is no 'ps', no 'top', no anything Unixie that will report about "Not Responding".
    I've been writing Unix kernel code since '95 for different Unix kernels, and I've been a Unix applications developer since '85.  "Not Responding" is a higher level abstraction that Apple has implemented, and I think it is related to their GUI frameworks and "Event Queues".  But it is all a guess based on knowing it is not Unix.

  • Connection issues, what exactly is the fault

    I have reported yet another fault to BT India (and with respect to them I find the whole process frustrating). After wasting 30 mins running through their script which they cannot deviate from, despite having done all the steps prior to making the call, hence knowing there is an issue.  We finally get to testing the line and 'there appears to be a problem'.
    I have FTTC, Have a HH3 and openreach modem and the previosu connection fault was reported at the beginning of the month and finally closed on the 22nd Dec.
    After logging on at another machine at a different location and finally getting in to my account I have picked this up. SO from this can I assume this is 'outside' of BT? or just another part of BT and does anyone have experience of how long this may take to resolve?
    For those techie minded the HH3 just cycles through orange power,flashing orange power, steady blue power, steady blue power and blue wifi, (all this time no BB lights) all lights then flicker and we are back to orange power light etc.
    The openreach has three steady green lights
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I sympathise with you wholeheartedly. I have had intermittent periods of frequent drop outs for 18 months now. Four Openreach engineers have failed to find a line fault and I have no reason to disbelieve them. There does seem to be a relationship between the equipment used and the quality of the connection. I found the HH5 completely unusable, as it disconnected several times a day. The HH3 is currently giving me a stable connection. Other users swear by using an independent, third party router. 
    As this is an ongoing problem for you, hopefully the moderators will pick this up and post here inviting you to contact them. In my case they are offering a lengthy monitoring of my connection to see if they can establish a reason for the instability of my service. In my experience, they are more switched on than the general customer service helpline. 
    I too have wrestled with the question of whether to switch ISPs or not. The infrastruture will be the same (unless you can get Virgin), the response to solving problems may be different, as will the tariff! I have actually found BT customer service to be pretty good compared to others so am sticking with them for now. As I've said, it's worth giving the mods a chance. 
    Bypassing the HH3 as Ray suggested will highlight if it has a fault if the modem can connect directly. I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference to the fault graphic. I doubt if it's that intelligent!

  • Shared unlimited messaging means what exactly???

    I have my phone through work and we are on a 'Shared Unlimited' plan for messaging etc.
    My problem is that our office manager keeps telling me I owe X-amount of dollars for being OVER on my texts.
    How can I be over on the number of texts if we have a shared unlimited plan?
    Thanks

    When I go to MENU, SETTINGS & TOOLS and select MY VERIZON it brings up the usage of my phone and it displays
    USAGE SUMMARY
    SHARED MINUTES 1844/UNLMTD
    SHARED MESSAGES 1039/UNLMTD
    SHARED DATA 1.615GB/30GB
    And all of that can't be ONLY me because there's no way in heck that I've talked on the phone for 30 hours in the last 15 days.
    Am I missing something?

  • What exactly happens when you cancel and resubscribe?

    Hi all. I have an extremely simple question -- in fact, I think I already know the answer, I just want a little reassurance. Unfortunately, Adobe has absolutely embarrassingly abysmal customer service to complement some pretty great products. Honestly -- I've spoken to three people by phone who barely speak English and who sound like they're in the midst of a wind tunnel. Went online to chat, and the guy didn't understand my exceedingly simple question. I said the question was about cancellation; he attempted to transfer me to tech support. I told him I'd been on the phone three times with no success. He asked me if I wanted to talk to someone on the phone. Christ's sake, Adobe. Clean that mess up, it's shameful.
    Anyway, all I want to know is what exactly happens if I cancel a single-app Creative Cloud membership, and then resubscribe shortly after? I currently have a month-to-month subscription to Premiere CC. My payment is due on the 4th, but I'm broke. So I assume I have to cancel. However, I plan on resubscribing about a week later, once I have some money.
    So are my projects in any way, shape or form affected? Will Premiere CC simply stop me from accessing the program until I pay up and then re-grant access when I resubscribe? I mean, what exactly happens?
    That's all I want to know. I'm in the middle of editing two large projects, so I'm just looking for some simple peace of mind. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there!
    Thank you for sharing your comments regarding our customer support. Your comments help Adobe guide ongoing efforts to improve our policies, and services.
    If you decide to cancel your membership, the products will revert to the trial version and the product will be accessible for the remaining days of the trial.
    Would you like me to cancel the membership?
    Thanks.
    Arnaud.

  • Sync - merge - what EXACTLY do these terms mean?

    Howdy. I recently plunged into the iPhone world & I'm LOVING IT!!!!!!
    So, what exactly does SYNC & MERGE mean? what will be the final results?
    with my iPod shuffle, I'm able to "auto fill" from a folder of pre-selected podcasts in iTunes. After listening to the iPod for awhile, I reconnect the iPod to iTunes (on the computer) & the podcasts in iTunes are updated as with actions taken on the iPod. for example, iTunes on the computer will indicate wether or not I listened to these particular podcasts on the iPod or not, & will also remember where I left off. So it seems that the iPod updates iTunes on the computer.
    But, ... this does NOT seem to be the same with the iPhone. It seems like when I plug in my iPhone to the computer & "sync", iTunes isn't updated as to what I already watched on the iPhone, like the iPod did. In order to update iTunes with what i already watched on the iPhone, I need to manually delete the vidcasts from the iTunes on the computer, which seems like a step back from my little iPod shuffle.
    ALSO: if I change contact information on my iPhone, will this updated info be lost when I connect the iPhone to the Computer?
    So what exactly does SYNC & MERG mean?
    It seems that the iPhone reacts differently for different media. I'm very confused & I wish there was a place to understand all this without the generic "sync" word being used without explanation. does sync mean replace, update, ... ????
    I've been searching around the net for this info for awhile, but all I find is these terms, without sufficient information as to what exactly MERGE & SYNC actually do.
    Can someone suggest some place that explains this in the detail I'm looking for?
    Thanks so much.
    Jesse Luke

    Under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences, there are various options. I have sync all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts to be transferred to my iPhone. If I listen to an podcast on my iPhone in it's entirety, the podcast will be removed from my iPhone when syncing with iTunes.
    The iPhone includes a sync process - some of the data included with the sync process is a one way transfer process only from your computer to your iPhone such as iTunes music, and the same for selected photos to be transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    The sync process for contact info, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer is a bidirectional or true sync process. When syncing an iPhone for contact info the first time with a supported application on your computer that includes contact info, you will be provided a merge prompt if your iPhone includes any contact info that was manually entered in your iPhone's address book. This will merge the contact info between the two. After the first sync or merge for this data, it will be a bidirectional or true sync process. Change info for a contact on your iPhone, and the info will be changed for the contact info with the supported address book on your computer when followed by a sync, and vice-versa. Add a new contact with the supported address book on your computer, and the new contact will be transferred to your iPhone's address book during the next sync, and vice versa. The same applies to calendar events when syncing with a supported calendar app on your computer.

  • HT1535 What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

    What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

    Ok, here is how the story have ended for my iPhone 4S.
    I took the phone to the genius bar 500-km far from my town. And they told me to wait 20 mins and then they asked what's wrong with the phone. They first thought the battery is dead. But then they changed the battery with a sure-it's-working-battery. But no luck. And told me that "logic board" has gone (why? -no explanation. it just happens).
    And then they checked the warranty and noticed that it was expired 29 days ago (the phone was bought from Chicago and I'm in Europe now). Since it's expired, I'm told that it can't be replaced with no cost. I should pay 200 Euros to get a "new" iPhone 4S (you know what is "new" means, refurbished). Or I could buy a brand-new-iPhone5 for 600 Euros.
    I'm not rich person and I decided to go with the refurbished one. So, as summary,
    - 13 months iPhone is dead. (~500$)
    - a refusrbished phone with 3 months of warranty (200 Euro)
    - Lost data (I admit that this is my fault not to care about the backup but after phone is dead, I didn't have any way to save data).
    I can say that, if you have too much money, yes, Apple products are worth to buy.

  • What exactly means "Restore iPhone"

    I am using the iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to restore it. But what it exactly means? Now the lates available iOS is 8.1.1. I bought my iPhone with iOS 7.0.4.
    I want to know what exactly happends when I "restore my iPhone" by iTunes. It will restore my iPhone to iOS 7.1.2 - this one which I currently use. Or it will restore my device to previos version of software (7.0.4)? Or it "restore" my device and also update it to 8.1.1?
    Please tell me what will happens. I'm asking because I won't to update my device and also don't back to previous soft.
    Best Regards,
    Pawel

    When you restore, your device is erased and the latest version of iOS will always be installed (currently 8.1, not 8.1.1). At the end of restoring, you'll be prompted to load your last backup, or not load a backup (i.e. starting fresh). After that, if  you chose to load your backup then all your apps, music, videos, etc. will be re-loaded .... it may take awhile, so give it time and don't unplug or interrupt the process.  BEFORE you restore, make sure you initiate a backup to iTunes (not iCloud) and that is normally offered right when you start the restore process -- be sure to do that if you want to recover your settings, accounts, app data, etc.

  • "Check Network Connection​" - What Exactly Does the TV Check?

    Hi everyone
    May I please ask, what exactly does the TV check when I choose "check network connection"?
    In other words, when I click the "check network connection", what IP address / servers and ports does it communicate to? What checks does it do?
    Because my TV cannot establish a network connection via settings, but the browser works perfectly well,
    I would like to carry out the same checks of "check network connection" on my PC.
    Then, if failed also on my PC, I would turn to my ISP with the results, as I believe it is the one to fault.

    Assuming you're referring to the Airport icon in the menu bar, 'clear/empty' means Airport is turned off, gray bars means Airport is on but not connected to a network, and black bars means Airport is on and connected to a network. Other possible icon states are solid gray with a little computer inset, meaning you're connected to a computer-to-computer created on the Mac, and gray bars with an exclamation point (10.6 only), meaning connected to a network but not authenticated (e.g. wrong password for an 801.2X corporate/university network).
    To your question, it's perfectly possible to be successfully connected to a network (black icon) and unable to access the internet. Situations like that would include the network requiring a proxy server, for which you haven't set up the details on in Network Preferences, or you're connected to an open network that requires you to enter information or agree to terms (e.g. a hotel network, where you need to put in your room number and agree to the charges before you can connect to the internet).

  • HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

    when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

    Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process.  When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync.  That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync.  You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
    You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.

    Changes to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition
    Effective immediately, all customers who newly purchase or renew Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Professional Edition, will be able to publish only one app per license of DPS Professional Edition.
    Under this policy change, Professional Edition customers can publish an unlimited number of issues (.folio files) to a single app and distribute those issues based on purchased fulfillment bundles.
    An app created with a single license of DPS Professional Edition can be distributed to any or all of the marketplaces that DPS supports, including the Apple App Store (and Newsstand), Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and the Windows Store.
    In conjunction with this policy change, Adobe is reducing the price of a Professional Edition license to $4,800 USD annually (€3,600/¥480,000) or to $400 per month (€300/¥40,000) and will include 1,000 fulfillments annually. The number of fulfillments included with a monthly subscription remain unchanged.
    This policy does not apply to test or demo apps published using Professional Edition. The one-app-per-license policy applies only to an app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an agency, upon your renewal or purchase of Professional Edition, you can create only one app per Professional Edition license. If you have multiple clients for whom you are creating apps, either you as the agency or your client must purchase a Professional Edition license for each app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an existing Professional Edition customer and choose to renew your Professional Edition license at the end of your annual agreement, these changes, including the lower price point and 1,000 fulfillments, apply at that time. These changes do not apply to your existing DPS Professional Edition agreement and take effect only if you renew your license.
    DPS Professional Edition customers can continue to create unlimited Single Edition apps, which is unchanged under the new policy. A Single Edition app is defined as an app that includes one built-in or embedded folio.
    If you expect to publish three or more apps annually, we encourage you to contact your local reseller to discuss pricing for a multi-year Enterprise Edition license.
    Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and benefits not available through Professional Edition. These include app customization, integration with back-end business systems, in-app marketing tools, targeted content based on user entitlement, and the ability to publish apps privately.

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • What exactly Implementation project means ?

    I know EWM Module as i am doing automation testing. i just wanted to know what exactly EWM implementation project means? what are the steps involved?

    Hello Manjunath
    A project implementation for EWM requires definitions regarding structure of warehouse, in order to customize it based on a business blueprint. Then you start to change the system and test system behaviour. You must perform tests and finally move solution to production (this is a short resume of ASAP methodology).
