Apple ID not variable by user login -- but FaceTime works

Have several user logins on this MacBook Pro. The new FaceTime defaults to the owner's MobileMe ID instead of the User's. It does, of course, use my private address book rather than the owner's.
How can I set each user's preferences?

I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty)

There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone. Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand. If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF MY NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4.11 TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD ACCESS . HOW DO I CONNECT NEW AND OLD TO MAKE IT WORK ? THANKS

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
The security code is the 3 or 4 digit code on your credit card, it's quite often on the back of the card on the signature strip, though on some cards it's on the front : credit card security code.

Using Session Variables for User Login - sometimes they don't persist... what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I'm running a site that requires user login. I approached the building of this site as almost a complete newb to CF (and dynamic coding in general), and it's been a great learing experience (with lots of help from you guys).
However, I guess I never learned the correct way to handle a user login. It seemed to me that I could just test the user-entered credentials against those stored in a database, then set a session variable containg that user's record number. Then, not only would I have an easy way of knowing who this user was and therefore what info to serve him, but I could test for the existence of a valid login on every page in the protected folder, by adding this code to my application.cfc in that folder:
<cfset This.Sessionmanagement=true>
<cfset This.Sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0,8,0,0)#">
   <cfif NOT isDefined ("session.username") or NOT isDefined ("session.password") or NOT isDefined ("session.storeID")>
     <cflocation url="../index.cfm" addtoken="no">
   </cfif>
...and it goes on to run a query and verify that the session.username and session.password match for the store defined by session.storeID. If not, all session variables are cleared and it bounces you back to the login page. When the user clicks Logout, all I do is delete all the session variables.
This seemed to work great for like a year, but lately I've been getting reports that the login doesn't seem to persist for longer than approx. 20 minutes of inactivity. You can see I specified session variables to remain active for 8 hours (I know that seems like a drastically long login, but it's what's necessary for this application). I've only gotten this report from a few people, and I myself can't seem to duplicate it... I've tested an inactive login for 45 minutes now and it held.
SO: any reason you can think of why session variables would be spontaneously clearing for some people? Would having your router reset its IP address invalidate the session or something? Also, the problem seemed to begin appearing after my host upgraded all their servers to CF9... could there be any relation?
And on a more general note... did I go about this completely the wrong way to begin with? If so, what's the standard way to manage a login?
Lots of questions, I know... thanks very much for any answers or suggestions!
Joe

Ian,
Thanks very much - very helpful information.
Sounds like passing the tokens in every request is probably the way to go for this. I don't think it's likely that any users will be sharing links, unless they actually intend for the recipient to see their info anyway.
Is that all I would have to do, is add the tokens to every path? Would that guarantee that all the session variables would remain valid until timeout or being cleared?
Again, thanks, you've been really helpful.
Joe

Unfortunately this is the nature of HTTP web applications. There is NO state maintained from HTTP request to request. This is by design in the HTTP protocol specifications.
ColdFusion provides two methods to circumvent this limitation. Each method has limitations and caveats. They both rely on the passing of tokens between the client and the server with every request. These tokens can be passed as cookies OR URL (GET) variables. You are using the cookie method, which is the simpler and most common. You may be experiencing the limitation of this method. If something happens to the cookies the session can be lost.
You could pass the (CFID & CFTOKEN) OR JESSIONID tokens through the URL query string with every request. This requires one to add these values to every link, form action, cflocation or other request path in our application. ColdFusion provides the session.urltoken variable to make this easier to do. The tokens will be visible to the user. Also if the links with an individual token is share with other users, via e-mail, chat, social networks, etc and one of these users utilize the link during the life of a session (8 hours apparently in your case). Then that user will access the session of the original user.
Cookie session management is by far the most common choice by CF developers. If these methods do not meet your needs you would need to go beyond the HTTP limitations of web applications. One might be able to accomplish this with a Flex|Air|Flash applications that can be configured to use a continuous connection to the server. Thus not suffer the stateless nature of the normal HTTP request-response cycle.
I do not know if a router resetting would cause cookies to be discarded or otherwise invalidated. But I would not think it is beyond the relm of possibilities.

Safari/Firefox will not connect to websites. BUT Entourage works normal.

For the past 2 weeks both my iMac and MacBook Pro have experienced the same problem. Neither can connect to a website via Safari or Firefox BUT both send/receive email from Entourage. When i troubleshoot the Airport it says all is working properly.
This happens at both my home office (apple router) and downtown office (Belkin).
Ideas anyone? The only software installed lately is for a wireless printer with WiFi. But i don't see how that is relevant.
Thanks for any ideas!

Hi. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your problem seems a little weird. Have you tried trashing preference files?
Safari's is located in user>library>preferences and is called com.apple.safari.plist
I'm not sure about Firefox's, but it is probably inside a folder called Mozilla or Firefox.
Hope this helps

Firefox's may be in the same location as Safari's and could be called something like com.mozilla.firefox.plist

Dear Apple, why not SIMPLY bring Photo Booth and Facetime together?

Dear Apple,
as I was going through your Website I noticed that FaceTime and PhotoBooth are very similar. I don't know how these two are built, but ins't this a great idea bring them together? Because I don't see any problems. And how about having iChat integrated like Windows Lync (Coorporate Communicator)?

Hi,
In actual fact iChat came first.
It had Video Effects before Photo Booth came out and could/can take snapshots of the Preview pic or the chat.
Face Time at one level (visually) is a much simpler app all round.
It does one job. Connecting Video chats on a 1-to-1 basis.
iChat can connect to Jabber servers and/or use the AIM Network (i.e Screen Names and IDs from other servers)
Face Time uses Apple IDs
Face Time also uses port 5223 the same as Jabber servers do (Jabber servers use this for Login).
Currently an MobileMe name ending in @me.com is:-
1) an Apple ID (Access to Communities with an Alias, iTunes, On Line Store, MacApp Store and so on)
2) A Working Email
3) a Valid Screen Name with the AIM Service (providing your password is 16 characters or less (AIM Limit)
4) a Face Time Name. (re 1) ) (Listed only to stress the point)
A @mac.com name is:-
1) a valid AIM Screen Name (Same password Restrictions)
2) An Apple ID (There was a time when names could be registered after MobileMe was launched, up to about 6 months ago when the Apple ID part was Optional)
3) May be a working email if linked to an MobileMe account at the Mobile Me launch.
An Apple ID can be any other name, most likely an email address that has been used to register in any of the places in 1) in the Mobileme bit.
If an Email was used this way it cannot be linked to a new Apple ID (Such as an @mac.com registration for iChat or Face Time)
There would be some use in Face Time having a Jabber server so that Face Time to iChat could be done.
(It remains to be seen how many would wish to add Jabber as well as having an AIM (Valid) name in iChat.
iChat and Face Time can in fact access the camera at the same time (the only two apps that I know can do this without the Camera in Use message).
There might be a call for Video effects in Fact Time but this may be beyond the processor capabilities of iOS devices.
All in all linking Photo Booth and Face Time would only recreate iChat.

Facebook Loads only in text. Have tried everything (History, User Accounts) but nothing worked. What to do?

Problem with Facebook, loads everything as text. I searched the internet and found a lot of things to try. But nothing worked.
So Far I tried:
1) Clearing All Cache, History, Cookies.
2) Making new User Account
3) Re-installing Firefox.
4) Other Browsers.
5) Removing and trying Add-Ons and extensions 1 by 1.
Nothing from the above worked. I don't know what else to do, every other website I went worked. Sometimes the first page works, other times it doesn't. When I try to post something and press like to a comment (When I was trying to see if other pages work and this error isn't only in 1 place only) the usual facebook error pops-up and that works ok.
I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate, and I don't know what else to do.

Is it only with Firefox?? You can try to check the permissions for Firefox in any and all security software and remove any possible hindrances. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this]

Sound is not coming out of speakers, but headphones work?

I have a Satellite L505-S5990 laptop. Today while I was sitting at home browsing the Internet, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It was working just fine minutes before. It was sitting on the counter the entire time and it just silently stopped working.
So I grabbed some headphones and plugged them in and they worked.
I restarted the computer, still no sound coming from speakers.
Windows 7 found no problems while troubleshooting the sound.
I downloaded the Automated Troubleshooting Services to diagnose and fix sound playback issues from Microsoft but that didn't find any issues.
I uninstalled the sound driver and installed the one that came with this laptop. I still get the same result. No sound from speakers but headphones work.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

OK, Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If that doesn't fix it then this might sound scary, but I think we have to do it...

Logging in to remote site, reset safari does not clear the user login info?

I'm logging in to a remote site with a 2 step login. Authentication then citrix. User info is not cleared in the authentication portion when I reset safari. Must be stored somewhere else. Where should I look?

Launch the Keychain Access application and search for the server name.

[solved] Bash shell... does not start with user name, but used to...!

when I start a console, logged in as user, it always used to start with
user@hostname ~$
Suddenly, and I cannot recall having done anything that could lead to the issue, konsole will always start as
bash3.2$
even after many reboots, this is still the case.
whoami shows my user name. I can su to root, and from there to my username, but never directly from bash.
Occasionally, starting a program like KDE partition manager fails with the error message the program su could not be found. but it is as I said occasional.
I am quite a newbie to Linux, so I am clueless. Can someone help me..? I tried googling, but I seem to be the only one in the WWW that goofed up to such an extent..! and searches are quite unrevealing.
I am installing Linux From scratch using arch linux as base system, but I am just following The Book to the letter and don't think that caused the problem.

@weasel8...
That is THE trouble. And I take back my words, it was during the linux from scratch install that I botched that file...! I was supposed to make a new bashrc file in the LFS directory, but I went wrong on the commands and I think I ended up removing the Arch Linux file...!
If it is to be found, it should be in the etc directory, right..? I looked there and could not find it. Did I look in the right place...?
What can I do...?

ACR 5.4 not active in user account, but IS in admin account?

I created a new user account on an Intel Mac Pro running OS 10.5.8. Camera Raw is not available in either Bridge or Photoshop. I can acess ACR in Bridge and Photoshop when logged in to the admin account. Here is a very curious thing. The file path to the ACR plug-in is:
root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats/amera Raw.plugin
When I view the ACR plugin in the Finder from the admin account, I see the icon for ACR and the file info etc. that same file path when viewed from the new user acount shows a blank icon and the file size says "Zero KB on disk." So for some reason ACR is not being recognized as a plug-in in the new user account.
I have repaired permissions, and even went in to change permission for ACR to "read&write" for everyone. How can I get ACR to function in a user account?
