Communication with Mobile Device

What software/API/hardware do I need to communicate with a mobile device?

Hey, watertownjordan. i think you have a great idea. my SonyEricsson T68ie phone comes with bluetooth, i just want to communicate with my HP nc4000 laptop, which has bluetooth too.
i really need an app like that to make management of my phone much easier, cordlessly.
we can share info in time, [email protected] or MSN ID [email protected]
Sun provide a reference implementation of serial communication API. it seems not so good and a little bit deprecated.
and i only find one FREE bluetooth implementation at sourceforge.net website.

SSLVPN 3rd Party Certificate, still get "untrusted site" with mobile device

Hi,
I have recently implemented an Entrust cert on my ASA for SSLVPN. When accessing the ASA from Windows/MAC, the "untrusted site" page does NOT appear. When accessing the ASA from an Android/iPhone, the "untrusted site" page DOES appear. Can anyone chime in on why this is happening with mobile devices?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Portu,
I'm not clear with your last request, what are you asking?
I've looked at the security warning on an iPhone, and it reads the following:
"The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attemped to reach blah.blah.com, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated is own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications."
This does not happen when using Google Chrome on Windows/OSX.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

ISE integration with Mobile Device Management ( MDM ) help required

Dear Techies,
     Am here bring to your notice an different issue and no much resources to support even in PEC or Cisco Document.
     We are conduction a Proof Of Concept (PoC) on Secure Bring Your Own Device ( BYOD ) using Cisco ISE and gonna test all the scenarios like Wired, Wireless and VPN user access.
Setup Brief :
=========
      Our Setup has ISE VM acting as Admin, Monitor and Profiling Device, we have NAC 3315 physical Appliance as Inline posture Device, Wireless LAN controller, Access point and the Identity source as Microsof Active Directory
     Having Plans to Integrate Mobile Device Management ( MDM ) and Citrix VDI setup also.
Activity Brief:
=========
     As of now we have tested the Wired Scenario Authentication and authorization for guest users and gonna carry out the profiling and posture.
Clarifications Required
================
Wired Scenario - Require some configuration / steps on how to carryout posture for the guest wired users i.e. LAPTOP.
Wireless Scenario
MDM can be integrated to ISE ?
How the MDM can be integrated to Cisco ISE configuration or Guide to show the same?
What is the demarcation between MDM and ISE ( i.e. What is the role of ISE and MDM on Mobile Devices ) ?
If MDM is available so then when the control of ISE ends, does MDM do management or ISE will do management of the devices ?
Is MDM will do client provisioning or ISE should do ?
Is MDM send or update patches of Mobile Devices ?
As of now these are the scenarios, kindly revert if any good documents to show this or share your expertise on the Integration Part.
Thanks for Reading...
Arun

I would like to avail your valuable inputs to understand on the Client provisioning part for the Mobile Devices/ Laptop. I understand from your reply that MDM integration is not available in the current release ISE 1.1 - That is correct.
Kindly let me know your views or any documents on the following scenarios with the current release in mind
1. User with Mobile devices connecting to Wireless ( both Employee and Guest ) , How the Flow differs for the Employee and Guest. How the client provisioning is done ( i.e. Like Posturing or Compliance Check ).
The posturing and compliance check is done based on the user authentication information (i.e. AD memberOf vs Guest user) combined with the users endpoint (windows, mac osx, or a mobile device), ISE then has a few decisions to make based on the authorization policies. For example, if a Domain User coming from a Windows 7 machine joins the network, then can either use the nac agent, or the web agent. Then you can scan for registry settings, file settings, program requirements, hotfix compliance...and the list goes on. If the user fails a check then you can either assign an acl for the user so they only have guest access, or you can place them into a remediation vlan the options are entirely up to the requirements and however the solution is implemented.
2. User with Laptop connecting to Wireless ( both Employee and Guest ). How the client provisioning is done ( i.e. Like Posturing   or Compliance Check ).
Guests are usually redirected to the guest portal which they authenticate and their user group falls within the Guest container that is on the ISE internal database, that is usually coupled with an authorization profile that grants them internet access. For the client provisioning, that is usually done based on the operating system, via profiling (dhcp, and user agent string., netmap...etc) and can be fine tuned for all laptops or to a specific set of users based on their group membership.
3. What are advantages of having ISE also in place for Mobile devices, since most of the Mobile related tasks ( like Authentication, Authorization, Profiling and Posture ) are carried out by MDM. I am checking for the significant advantage of having ISE for Client network having only Mobile devices. Kindly clarify.
Currently the advantage of Cisco ISE is that it supports profiling within wireless and really fits well within a network that has mostly Cisco products since they are all part of of the Borderless security initiative being driven on the backend. The product teams for wireless, wired, security (vpn..etc) and ISE are pretty close in building their solutions so that you can get connected with any device any where (sorry for the sales pitch). The latests wireless code is improving and is going to have support similar to the ios sensor for wired devices where dhcp, cdp, and other attributes can be sent in the radius packet for better profiling decisions. With integration for an MDM platform coming soon, and also support for TACACS rumored (have to verify with your account rep) you have options that really stand out from a unit that only supports MDM. Cisco ISE also comes with a wireless product ID so that makes the budget work when it comes to deploying ISE if you arent looking for enforcement on your wired devices.
4. Do you recommend 802.1X Authentication to use for the Employee and Contractor? The Guest user authentication as Open ?
For internal users and vendors the best option by far is dot1x, almost all operating systems are capable of performing dot1x and the 1.1.1 MR has a piece now that can provision the supplicant for the users, by using scep to enroll certificates or configure peap settings.
There is a feature within the guest portal that allows you to statically assign guests into endpoint group, that feature is called device registration web authentication. It seems like an open network but uses mac filtering to assign these devices to an endpoint without requiring users to enter any credentials. They are presented with an AUP page, once they accept their mac address is mapped to the endpoint group
5. How can we ensure the Encryption of traffic from the Guest user to the NAD ( Network Access devices ) ?
This may be a wireless question but I am sure the encryption is done using AES and using dot1x as the key management here is a brief background for this - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00807f42e9.shtml#L2
You can also use the anyconnect client which can provide macsec which is layer 2 encryption for wired - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/qa_c67-622477_ns1049_Networking_Solutions_Q_and_A.html
6. We are also looking for VDI ( Citrix, VMware ) solution for the client ( both Employee and Guest ) , how ISE can play a role in securing the VDI environment.
For most thin clients you can perform dot1x authentication on the device itself, however that is something the manufacturer will have to support. This is a little gray for me.
7. Is that any integration required with Citrix or VMware. How the VDI can be offered based on the User role ( i.e. Employee, Contractor or Guest ), since Guest database is available only with ISE, how the checks are made from the VDI environment.
IN ISE there is an identity sequence which can authenticate users in AD first, if the user is not found then it can look in the internal database.
Our solution demands MDM in the integrated solution, As on today ISE cant be integrated with MDM. so what kind of solution we can propose to have MDM and Cisco ISE .Do the clients now enter the network should have already installed the MDM agent (or) any other way of pushing the same to the Client.
Today there is no integration between the devices, the last release time I heard was December for this feature. However it would be best to confirm with your Cisco Account rep on this issue.
Thanks,
Tarik Admani

Not communicating with scanning device

I am running windows xp home edition sp2 with an hp office jet 5600xi all in one printer. Just switched to google chrome and I get the" no communication with the device error message" when trying to scan but can still print and copy.
tried all the suggested remedies but am hesitant to reinstall. Is there another remedy and if I have to reinstall, what should I avoid?

Hi dfeagle56, thanks for getting back to me!
I would recommend trying a reinstall, but we're going to go about it in a specific way. I'm inlcuding documents for each section of troubleshooting that should walk you through step-by-step.
First, I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Please let me know how that goes!
Please click “Accept as Solution " if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to my computer

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook; Product # WF536AV, running Win 7-Home. Without warning, when trying to boot one day I got the following error message:
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. May be caused by unplugging removable storage while in use or a faulty hhd or CD drive. An unexpected I/O error. Error Code oxcoooooe9.
I have a 500GB WDC hhd that seems to run hot.
Cannot get into F8 Advanced Options, although I can get into BIOS (F9 & F10)
Ran the Win 7 Recovery Disks twice. No help. Same message
I can run Linux Ubuntu in memory (not installed). GParted shows the following:
Partition size used unused label flag file system
Sda1 76GB 14GB 61GB NTFS
sda2 400MB 300MB 100MB SDV Boot lba FAT32
unallocated 390GB
6. No access to Recovery Manager
7. F2: memory test passed but hhd test would not run
8. In Ubuntu Disk Manager, report said drive had 'a few bad sectors', but hhd test would not run "Self Test- Failed (Read)
9) Ran MBR repair disk and System Rescue disk; no luck
10) In Ubuntu, when I look at the Windows file system, In 82 GB partition there is an 'RM' folder with an "Image" folder with 16 files. In the SDV partition is the bootmgr folder and several others
a) why cannot I boot to Windows off the hhd?
b) what does SDV label mean (secure digital video; silicon data valu;tr; static driver verifer from Windows)?
c) is the hhd simply failing. I do not have an extra to swap out and try
d) may the Win 7 Recovery disks bad, perhaps, and should I then download a Win 7 ISO file and try that?
Thanks for any help. This is highly frustrating. I have already spent about 8 hours on this!

The computer is unable to establish a two way communication with the device

Hi I am trying to fix a problem for some one else, and I am struggling where to look next. The issue is that we are unable to check the ink levels of a HP Deskjet 1050 printer. The error message states that the computer is unable to establish a two way communication with the device. After running through the troubleshooting guide about this issue on the HP site with no joy, I decided that it may be the printer and suggested a replacememnt. Unfortunately A new HP Envy 5530 was purchased and connected (wirelessly) but the issue remains. I have uninstalled the drivers multiple times, and also disabled any firewall/anti virus software in case this was interfering. I was hoping that some one could point me in the right direction next? None of the other forum posts here (or any google searches) give a solutuon which has fixed the problem. Thanks

No I cant. Unable to ping the printer too, not sure if this is possible normally?

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

Need to test iCal server with Mobile devices

I have a deployment of the iCal Server rolling out to a global user community. I know it works with the iPhone and iPad, but I need other mobile platforms that we can test it with. So if there are any users with other mobile devices that want to test connections to a Caldav server - I would love to be able to try it out.

New to FIOS, Can't Browse With Mobile Device

I recently switched from DSL to FIOS. I have the Actiontec mi424wr Rev. E router. Everything has been working well with the exception of my wireless PDA. It connects to the wireless network ok but I an not able to browse the internet with the device. It is a Pharos GPS/PDA Phone 600 with Windows Mobile 6.0. It seems to work with any other WIFI.
It seems to me that it must be something with the firewall but I have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Check and see if your PDA will alow you to create a connection where you can enter the SSID and WEP encryption key. Both can be found on the back of your Actiontec router. Your PDA can probably see the SSID from the router, but it needs the key.

What is happening with iCloud and its sync with mobile devices?

I have been an Apple fan for 4 years now. I currently have 4 Macs (2 @ 27" and 2 @ 21.5" models), 2 iphones (4s and 3gs) and an iPad (2). I use them all for business and personal use.
Prior to purchasing my iPhone 4s on release day in the UK I was also a fully signed up Mobileme family account user. Everything worked fine. When I purchased my iPhone 4s I switched everything from Mobileme over to iCloud. Followed all the instructions. Initially it seemed to work fine. But over the last few weeks it has all gone horribly wrong resulting in the following; amongst other problems:
iPhone 4s
My iphone 4s will no longer sync mail, contacts and calendar effectively. Mail will sync new mail in my inbox but I cant send any mail and when I do draft a mail and send it dissappears from the outbox, sent box and inbox (i always bcc mail). The number of contacts is a fraction of the number of contacts in my contracts file on my main Mac. Calendar will not let me sync or add any new entries...let alone sync with iCal on the Mac.
iPad 2
My iPad suffers from much of the same problems as my iPhone. When I go to settings on the iPad and go to Mail, contacts and calendar, the iPad just freezes. I then have to hard re-set to get it working again.
iPhone 3gs
I used this before I upgraded to the 4s. It suffers with the same problems as my 4s described above.
iCloud.com
The number of contacts on iCloud.com is fixed at 1625no; whereas my Mac has a clean set of contacts containing 1325no. When I try to delete contacts on iCloud.com it says I cant because of a server error. Mail and Calendar both seem to work fine though.
I am now left with a major business critical problem. Niether iCloud.com, my Mac or my mobile devices will sync with each other. Apple has excalated the problem and my iCloud account is currently being tested. In the meantime my Mac contacts has duplicated and increased upwards of 4,000 contacts.
This whole journey of bad expereince is driving me insane and making my love of all things Apple wain.
I have restored my mobile devices about 8-9 times each. I have restored from previous versions stored on iTunes and also set them up as new devices....which as any of you will know is a laborious process because you have to reconfigure the Apps icons each time you do this as a new device! None of my attempts have fixed the situation.
Are we or have we been used by Apple as guinea pigs to test the iCloud which, according to the communities and discussions on this site, leaves a lot to be desired. This is having a dramatic affect on my quality of life and business.
Please help me.....
Mark

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

Muse site does not allow photos to change with mobile device orientation i.e. they can't be seen as full images

I have a site that has images on it and when viewed on a mobile device (ipad, phone) look fine when in portrait mode, but when the device is rotated 90 degrees you can't see the whole image. Is there some setting/widget something I need to enable this?
Thanks

1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way.

Entries on desktop iCal do not sync with mobile devices.

I am running OSX 10.7.3 on my 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac. iPhone running 5.1.1
Starting recently, entries I make on my desktop iCal do not sync thru the Cloud to the browser iCloud Calendar or my iPhone Calendar or my IPad Calendar.
My email, my Contacts sync just fine.
An iCal entry on my iPhone will sync with all mobile devices and the Cloud browser but do not sync to the iMac. In fact, all transactions from any mobile device and browser based Cloud all sync just fine between devices and iMac. All but the iCal transactions. They do not sync to the iMac or from the iMac
Suggestions, please!
dan

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Logic / OS X randomly losing communication with firewire devices

Hi
Connected to my MBP I have a Lacie FW drive with an Apogee Duet daisy chained to this.
During a Logic session yesterday all of a sudden I received device removal (warning) messages for these two items although they were still connected to the relevant ports!? I also had to force quit Logic following this.
When I reconnnected the devices were recognised but things were still not right as when I tried to change the volume on the duet the system was very slow in responding.
I was running of the battery power but this has never happened before whether connected to the mains or the battery.
Any ideas/should I worry?
Everything seemed fine a couple of hours later when I restarted the system but I am uneasy about the potential for this to occur during a more important session.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Cheers
Sam

Hi Sam
I have an Imac, same operating system as you (10.5.8) and also the Duet. Also got a Lacie external hard drive. i have also encountered this problem in the last week. however, I have had this problem in both Logic 9.02 and Record so it seems it isn't just a Logic problem.
One question - was Airport on when you lost communication with your hard drive? My was and when I turned it off the problem has not occurred again. It may have something to do with it although I'm not technically minded so I wouldn't know why.
