Am I understanding this correctly?

Do you have to have iTunes installed on a PC to get FW or Software updates?
That is the stupidist thing I have ever seen.
I've already talked to the packagers and the network security team (As they currently block iTunes) and this is a deal killer............
Both Goodlink and Blackberry can do updates OTA (Over the Air)
We are an orginization of 35,000 + end users and they can't install anything on their PC's.
If iTunes is mandatory then they will never gain acceptance in the Enterprise market as that is unacceptable. Sorry Dr you can't get any patient information because all of the bandwidth is being used by people downloading podcasts.
And what is the deal with no native encryption on the device????
I don't even see a reason to test as this would be a HIPPA violation before we even started???????
Poor planing and horrible implementation.
If I am incorrect please point me to documentation stating otherwise.
Thanks

msg630,
There is a built-in ability in iTunes to restrict access to the iTunes Store, designed for those most restrictive of managers - Parents. While not intended for the Enterprise per se you can restrict access to the iTunes Store, Podcasts, Internet Radio, and/or shared libraries. You can create a preferences file that could be deployed to the machines. However, you don't need to install iTunes on every PC. (more on that later in this post)
The program to distribute your own iPhone apps is available to companies with 500 employees or more. I am not sure if it is currently accepting limited applications or any application. This is the program that was in beta with several companies at least since March. There has been two betas ongoing, one for developers and one for Enterprise.
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/details.html
In addition the iPhone will take the most restrictive of the ActiveSync policies and policies you deploy with the iPhone Configuration Utility.
The iPhone supports the following policies set by the Exchange admin:
1. Enforce password on device
2. Minimum password length
3. Require both numbers and letters
4. Inactivity time in minutes (essentially how long until it autolocks)
In addition it supports Remote Wipe. If the device is still listed to be wiped on the Exchange server it will wipe again if you try to reconfigure for the server.
With the iPhone Configuration Utility you can deploy profiles via website (such as on an Intranet) or via email. The iPhone Configuration Utility can set:
1. Require Passcode
2. Allow simple value (repeating characters, or short)
3. Require Alphanumeric (while normally on the iPhone a passcode set is only 4 numbers, if your profile or exchanger server required it can be longer and a mix of letters and numbers)
4. Minimum Passcode Length (yes, it can be more than 4 digits when configured via Exchange Activesync policies or the iPhone Configuration profile)
5. Minimum number of complex characters (symbols such as $, &, and !)
6. Maximum number of failed attempts (Default is after 6 it imposes a time delay before trying again, after 11 it has to be connected to the iTunes it syncs with to reset the attempts)
7. Maximum Passcode Age (how often do they have to change the passcode)
8. Passcode lock (in minutes)
If there is both Exchange Activesync and a configuration profile (or multiple profiles) on the device, the most restrictive combination is used.
Apps up to 10 MB can be installed OTA.
It is entirely concievable that only 1 copy of iTunes be installed in the IT department for setting up the device, load a profile, and then hand it activated to the employee. If they need an internal App it can be deployed OTA.
The iPhone can communicate for email, contacts and calendars OTA with an Exchange Server.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • Do i understand this correctly?

    am i understanding this correctly? instead of downloading a movie on my ipad i just select it from itunes on the ipad and it will be streamed to appletv?
    but why is that better than just choosing it off appletv and watching it immediately??
    i will give this endorsement appletv is great and i enjoy using it, but i must be missing something as i see no big deal about streaming movies i rent...ok, if they are my own videos of family etc....please enlighten me

    Theatrically this could work with all h.264 streaming content you might find when browsing the web or even from app players like ABC, Comcast and ATT U-verse.
    It will be interesting to see if this works when guests come over who may have content that differs from my own.

  • So if I understand this correctly...

    ... there is no "great" way to manage the fans and monitor temperature levels for my new (unibody) MacBook Pro when running Windows XP via Boot Camp? I have Boot Camp 2.1, Windows (Media Center) SP2, a MacBook Pro 2.8GHz and a bit of disbelief.
    So far as I understand it, Speedfan is useless because there isn't a configuration file which can acquaint the program with this motherboard/chipset, therefore Input Remapper is the only remaining choice, and fan speeds must be set manually there, instead of in a manner where they would adjust depending on CPU load and temperature.
    Does this all agree with consensus?
    I'm fairly unhappy at the moment. Of course I anticipated making a general switch to OSX when I purchased the MacBook 2 weeks ago, however I still have quite a few Windows apps which I intend to use extensively in the future, games included. The prospect of using this thing without a power cord in XP seems unrealistic, because I can't imagine the power settings are at all finely tuned, instead first impressions leave me thinking things are quite crude in Windows -- far from the easy dual operability that Apple had me believe.
    Any suggestions or responses to my ravings would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the post. The issue I have with smcfancontrol (and I assume others do as well) is a)you have to start in OSX before booting to Windows to set the fan speed, and b) this isn't a very responsive solution, in that the computer isn't choosing the ideal fan speed based on temperatures, rather a program has set a minimum fan speed regardless of what the temps are from one point to another. I believe I have this correct with smcfancontrol, but if I'm mistaken, please, someone, correct me. I remain incredulous, because perhaps the main advantage of owning a laptop -- portability -- is rendered null because I can expect little more than 1 hour of very dry use in XP as a result of what I can only assume to be poor power management and rather clumsy fan/temperature control from the current Boot Camp drivers.

  • I am understanding this correctly?

    Hi All
    I've been unable to confirm this in the color manual:
    When I send from fcp to color, do the clips in the color timeline link to the media files in the capture scratch on my video drive? After I've rendered and sent back to fcp, would the 'colorized' clip in the fcp timeline link to the rendered files in the color render directory i nominated in the set-up room?
    Have I missed something, are there other directories I should be aware of?
    I am trying to get a firmer understanding of how color's media management structure and set-up. If you have any pdf's or other info on this topic please let me know.
    Cheers
    -j-

    You are correct. There are no other directories to be aware of regarding source material and rendered material.

  • Do I understand this correct?

    Hi Im just playing around with code to learn new things. And a question appeared.
    When I do
    List list = new LinkedList(new ArrayList());I tell one of the constructors in LinkedList that I want the list to be an ArrayList?
    And is this the same as
    List list = new LinkedList();
    list = new ArrayList()/ Curios Magnus

    What you do is create a new ArrayList (which is empty, of course) and pass that to the constructor of the LinkedList. If you look up [that constructors JavaDoc|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/LinkedList.html#LinkedList(java.util.Collection)] you'll see that you only specify the initial content of the LinkedList. Since the content List you specify is empty, the LinkedList will be empty as well. That's exactly the same effect as if you had used the no-arguments constructor.
    And is this the same as
    List list = new LinkedList();
    list = new ArrayList()
    No, this is an entirely different thing.
    First you create a LinkedList and rember a reference to it in the list variable. Then you overwrite the reference with a reference to a newly created ArrayList (thus forgetting the original reference).
    Both pieces of code do unnecessary and useless work. The difference between the two is that with the first you havean empty LinkedList in the end and with the second piece of code you have an empty ArrayList in the end.

  • Can someone verify if I'm understanding this properly?

    I have been frustrated with trying to back up my iPad to iCloud for the past couple of days because, although all of the apps are set to "on" in the "manage storage" area in iCloud, many of my apps are listed with "no data" in the backup. I was concerned at first because I thought this meant those apps showing "no data" weren't getting backed up, but I think what is happening is that those apps just don't have any data associated with them to back up (the apps aren't gone or going to disappear). 
    The apps are all in iTunes and until I delete them from iTunes, they will continue to remain on my device (through the sync process) regardless of whether or not they have any data in the icloud backup. I think I was confusing the data associated with the app, which i'm assuming to be favorites, settings, scores, etc, with the actual app itself.
    Am I understanding this correctly? So I should not be concerned when I see "no data" listed for an app?
    Or if I'm wrong, can someone explain the "no data" thing? (my cloud is nowhere near capacity)
    Thanks for your help!

    You seem to have a pretty good understanding from what I know about this - or at least you understand it the same way that I do!
    You may have no data backed up - either because there is no data (or files) yet to be backed up - or the apps do not work with iCloud yet. For instance - the Apple iWorks apps - Pages, Numbers and Keynote all work with iCloud. You can backup the data and files in those apps and you can access the files in your icloud.com account on a computer via a browser. If you have all of the apps turned on to backup to iCloud - you should have nothing to worry about. You can never lose purchased apps - even if you have to download them again.
    You are also correct about the apps - if you delete from the device - but still have them in iTunes - they will sync back when you sync with iTunes again. But if you delete the apps from the device - you will lose all of the data and settings from those apps.

  • BB 9650, WIFI in house, did I do this correctly?

    Hi,
    I wanted to use my WIFI as much as I could, I first went into manage connections, and thought I could shut off Mobile network verizon, I did, internet worked, but I did not recieve calls.
    Next try, I have both mobile and wifi connected.
    I went to options, advanced options, browser, and clicked on default browser, and clicked on hotspot browser.
    It seems to work, is this correct?
    My other question is when I leave the wifi area, do I have to change the browser defualt again, or is it smart enought that no wifi, so it uses the network?
    I figure I would use wifi as much as i can for internet, since I have the 150mb plan...
    Would like some input or suggestions
    thanks

    Ok,
    Some of you who remember the 70s TV show "Happy Days" and one of the characters the Fonz?  He was the ultimate cool and had trouble saying the word "Wrong."  Well, fortunately, I am not the Fonz and I can admit when I am wrong.  Or at least part wrong.  Let me correct my previous post in this thread so all will be set straight.
    First, you can use just WiFi on a Blackberry to perform data intensive tasks such as internet browsing, Blackberry Messenger, email, AIM, and those other messaging apps that use data.  However, you will have to turn off the Mobile Network to do so.  You will have to go to Manage Connections and uncheck the Mobile Network box and check the WiFi box.  Obviously you will need a WiFi connection for this task.  I was wrong in that I thought you could turn off the Data from the Mobile connections option under Options and it would leave the 3G signal for calls and such and also leave the Wifi, however, this turns off ALL data.  So, in order to use WiFi only and no 3G signal, you will have to turn off the mobile network all together.  This means no calls or texts can be sent or received.  Now, I have not dabbled into Skype so I do not know how Skype might can figure into this equation for calls. 
    I am sorry for giving out incorrect information, but all is clear now.  It's Wifi and no mobile network and no calls or texts.  Or, turn it on to get calls.  Now, you ask, "Doc, how can I know if my browser is using Mobile Network or Wifi connection?"  Good question.  In your browser, press the Menu key and Options.  Select Browser Configuration.  Change the setting Browser: Hotspot Browser.  Now you will be using WiFi, if it is available.  Also, if you ever want to save a URL into your bookmarks, you can do so by telling it to save as a Hotspot brower URL.  For example, on your device, go to http://community.vzw.com/
    Once the page loads (yes, it is the landing page for these forums, which should show up enhanced to mobile viewing) Press the Menu key and select Add Bookmark.  Name it what you want, I always leave the default.  Scroll down to Browser and if you need to change it to Hotspot Browser, you can do so.  Scroll on down to ADD and it saves it as a Hotspot browser, if WiFi is turned on.  This works for saving any URL. 
    Just a couple of tips I thought I would pass on to help you to understand and, more than any thing, save MONEY.  Again, sorry for posting some inaccurate info.  Should you ever have a question, post it here in the forums.  I am always around to help, as will as some of the other members who have learned just as I have...trial and error.  Good luck.

  • [SOLVED] How should I understand this ATI wiki?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to reduce my power consumption and found this article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ati#Powersaving
    But I'm not sure how to understand this:
    I enabled KMS.
    First it says the power saving feature is disabled by default. Then it tells me I should use "sysfs" to change that. I don't have any application with that name, wikipedia tells me that its an virtual file system and there is no mention of "sysfs" anywhere in the wiki except this article. To confuse me even more, it tells me in the next passage that I should either use the sysfs interface that should be present by default because I use a recent version, or use the (unsupported) [radeon] repo.
    Now I'm confused.
    Also it doesn't mention how to check if it works correctly, so if anyone did this before, please tell me how I should understand this.
    Thanks for your help

  • I was just in the Live Chat, is this correct?

    First I asked if changing plans would land me on another 2 years contract....said no
    Then I was reading the very fine prints under the MORE plan to find out about a $175 cancellation fee, so I explained to her that my contract expired 6 months ago and question her,- if I decide to leave Verizon (no more contract) do I still have to pay the $175 fee?
    SHE SAID "YES" if I want to cancel the line I will be charged $175.....is this correct? if it is this is the biggest rip-off ever !

    READING the entire post and understand is essential before replying....as I said, my contract EXPIRED 6 months ago, still if I just want to tell Verizon to cancel my account and number, I still have to pay $175........that is what the live chat girl told me....seems strange to me, hence my post

  • Can somebody help me understand this dialog window?

    I have an English CS3 but my native language is Dutch. I struggle understanding this dialog box:
    Your current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when this document was created
    I often get this error when opening downloaded files.
    What linked content? Which profiles are ignored. Is this a vital warning?
    Thanks,
    Ronald

    Most imporant: set up color management. Synchronize color management across your applications and versions.
    If you don't know how to do that, you're in really serious trouble. There's some literature on the topic. Get it and read it. You might start with this:
    Adobe publishes a new Creative Suite 5/5.5 Printing Guide - Rufus Deuchler
    and the manual. Look for a Lynda.com training or search the web for resources. There's some really good stuff available in German, but I don't know about the English resources (beacause our own are so luxurious).
    The dialog box tells you that your settings regarding linked CMYK images were different in your other Illustrator version. You had it set to "Preserve embedded profiles", but now you've set it to "Preserve numbers". Depending on the nature of your files, your workflow, your co-workers' workflows or the printing process both settings might or might not be correct. But most probably changing the settings in the middle of working at the same file is not correct. The setting influences how colors are converted when creating the final output. So, yes, it is important.

  • I want to install hybrid drive in Macbook pro. I bought my Mac book with lion and am now running mountain lion. I was told I needed install disk to set up new drive before restoring from my time capsule.Is this correct and if so how do I get disk osx10?

    I purchased a Mac book Pro in Aug 2012 with lion and have upgraded to mountain lion. I currently am looking to install the segate 750 gig hybrid drive. I watching video I shows me needing a OSX 10 disk to boot off of when the new disk is in and the use time capsule to restore system from back up drive to new hybrid. Hope I got this correct so far. that being said my Mac Book did not come with a disk therefore is one available, when I get to point of restoring from back up with it be the same mountain lion system I had. Sorr if this sounds redudant.. Thank you in advance

    Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP.  Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear.  Select the 'restore' icon on the right.  When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility.  Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.
    Ciao.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush
