Dealing with web techs Wonderful response

I was having problems with my ADE. I could download books to ADE but couldn't get them into the Nook. I keep getting error messages. I opened a web case. When I posted I would get a note back the next morning. Many suggestions in the past week. Finally Wednesday, they asked for my phone number. Today I received a phone call (from India). The woman was knowledgable, and spoke excellent English. She took over my computer and nook. She solved my problem (complex). I can't tell you how grateful I am. If a person takes the time to post a web case and tries their suggestions they will do their best to help you. If you don't give up on them, they won't give up on you. Many people just complain without following through. If they can help a 74 yr old lady, I'm sure they can help you computer experts out there.

Hi,
Based on your description, you encountered the issue with Excel Service in one of the server.
I found a thread with similar issue for your reference:

You are dealing with web developers, answer accordingly

Hi, just a thought in how bc case support seems to be answering their cases. Do they realize that the bc community are web developers? we aren't photoshop users, or illustrator users, we are but we are also developers with typically years of experience and tech support experience with all kinds of web services and technology.
I believe its a huge waste of everyones time when the first suggestions is "flush your cache", or try a different browser... really? you don't think we;ve tried that all before actually submitting a case? web developers know what a cache issue is, they know what a server error looks like, and by using firebug all before they finally submit a case, we expect more than, works on our side, or try a different browser. save that for the non web developer tech support cases.
just my two cents, I love the creative suite of products, but going back to DW MYSQL ftp and a good old LAMP server environment from hostgator is looking better and better everyday if this is going to be how bc partners are going to be treated. whether we have ten, or a hundred sites, a bc partner is usually a web developer and should receive the same level of support. I have most of my clients off bc, as they were clients before i became a partner. My plan was to migrate them over to bc eventually, but i am having second thoughts these days.

I think that's just SOP for tech support everywhere. And considering BC's business model is "fire your coders and do it yourself," I wouldn't assume that on average people reporting cases have any great technical acumen, and I wouldn't expect support to do the same.

Dealing with web pages

Im doing a project where i will need classes that will take information from web pages. Other classes will also open the users web browser to relevant web pages. Im new to this form of java programming, could i please have some guidance on what packages are needed to implement this and where i could find information on this topic,
thanks for your help guys,
Mattyboysmith

If you want your application to connect to a web page, download what's there and scrape it to find information, then the Custom Networking tutorial is what you want.
And to cause the user's default browser to open at a particular URL? That used to be a FAQ here, but I haven't seen it recently. Enough searching of this forum should turn up links to the definitive JavaWorld article that tells you how to do that.

Where am I supposed to get help? 3 months dealing with tech support is NOT working

I have been dealing with an ongoing connection issue for 3 months now and I'm at my wits end with trying to get help. I'm have the same problems others seem to be having here my internet keeps cutting out for a min or two and coming straight back on sometimes it works fine for a week sometimes I can't get online all day. I have spent countless hours on the phone with Verizon over these past three months being transferred from place to place, being hung up on and told multiple times they would "call me back"
I've had three techs come to my house (money out of my paycheck taking off work) and each said the issue isn't at my home, I even spoke with a gentleman at the local dispatch center and he told me the same thing, he also told me when I had a 4th tech scheduled to come "sending another tech won't help we already know the issues isn't at your home so all a tech will do is come check the connection and if its working at that moment close the ticket out"
Each and every time I call I get the exact same process, first they want to send a tech, then I explain that's not going to help, then I spend 15 min trying to get their "supervisor" on the line, each time I'm told "the ticket has been escalated and will be looked into expect a call back in 24-48 hours" each time I either don't get a call or they call and say its fixed just to have issues return a few days later.
I've even managed to get a number to a supposed "supervisor" area that needs a pin number to get thorough, yet even when I call that number I'm dealing with being told they need to send another tech and being told I will get call backs.
I've been told them replacing the modem fixed it, then told them fixing something at the end of my street fixed it, been told they switched me to another server or something Because mine was congested and that fixed it, was told they found another issue and that fixed it..None of these actually did fix it though..SO I've been down right LIED to by Verizon many many times already over this ordeal over the multiple false fixes and the numerous call backs I never got.
No customer should have to spend 20+ hours on the phone (with each call being atleast 1+ hour most of it being on hold) to get a service they are paying for fixed so PLEASE who on earth do I contact to get this actually FIXED???? Because Each time I try to get somebody who is actually a real manager or something on the phone they are NEVER available and each time I ask to speak to somebody who is actually in MY COUNTRY let alone my state I get told its "not possible"
Where I live don't have too many internet options and I'ma bout to have to move to a SLOWER service all Because Verizon has screwed me over for 3 months and refuses to fix a service I have paid for for YEARS.
SO please if any verizon employee sees this or anybody else who knows who/what I need to to please I beg you tell me lol I'm tired of being toyed around...

Wondering how to deal with NTFS drive

Hi there, Mac addicted folks!
I have an external USB drive with 2 partitions on it. I was used on my old windows laptop, so one partition is in FAT32 and the other in NTFS. I found out Tiger couldn't deal with NTFS, and that it could only read.
And once I checked a bit with disk utility and saw I could make an image of a disk.
So I was wondering, to change completly my NTFS partition, could I make a full disk image of this partition, wipe it all out, and recreate a new Mac-more-friendly partition and moving my stuff using the disk image I did?
Oh also! I just though of it... I'm not sure, but is there something with the autorization system with NTFS? Perhaps this is affecting me? I'm not sure about what I am talking about though.
(One last thing, while getting on these forums, I noticed my Firefox browser was missing badly tons of character, in words or sentences. But it doesn't apply to any other pages as far as I've seen. I checked character encoding but nothing to do. Anything to do with fonts?)
Thank you to anyone who could help me!

Ok, great, I'll try that then.
Maybe it's because I'm still used to windows, but moving mass of data on these machines was somewhat unstable. But as far as I checked for OS X, I've never had any problem. I was just a little sceptic of what would happen-like going unstable like windows.
Great, thanks I'll try that then!
Edit!
Oh yeah, BTW, is there any way to manage easily partitions, without having all the data cleared, by example for extending my FAT32 partition to all over the NTFS will will be emptied, but without cleareing also FAT32 to rewrite it all over? I think such applications does even exist in GUI, or at least I saw a part of it in installing Boot Camp.

My brand new Macbook PRO crashed completely after it went through the iOS 10.7.4 update, I lost everything and Apple just wants to replace the HD and let me deal with the hassle.

Last Thursday May 10th I received a prompt from the Automatic Update to update the iOS to Ver. 10.7.4, set the start and was watching the progress when it stopped with an error message saying that it was not able to update, right below there was a buttom "RESTART", pressed the buttom and waited to re-boot.....That was the end of my computer, somehow the update crashed my HD beyond recover, it would only show the gray screen with Apple logo in the center and kept beeping, BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....on and on and on and it never past that.
Friday May 11 I took it to a retailer where I received the bad news that the HD was crashed and the teck couldn't even try to copy anything from it as it couldn't locate it. I checked iCloud on a hope that all my stuff would be there but new surprise, iCloud didn't kept all of my stuff as it was programmed to.
Now here is the funny part, the tech from the retailer informed me that the only thing they could do was to order a new HD for my 4 months old Macbook and that the time to have my computer back will be at least 15 days, now that is the funny part, I fail to understand why do I have to suffer the hassle of loosing all my data plus wait at least 15th days to have my computer back (meanwhile loose work) on a problem caused by Apple, PROBLEM, not machine defect, clearly my computer had no problem untill I followed the procedure to update.
On Saturday May 12 I contacted Local Apple Support (I have failed to mention that I live in Brasil) and they informed me that what the dealer said was the only thing that could be done, too bad for me if I lost everything, going to loose several days of work and whenever I receive my computer back will have to re-construct all my life and deal with the forever lost data.....DEAL WITH IT
After a couple of discussion with Apple Support and the Dealer, I made my decision to take the Macbook to the dealer today for repair and meanwhile I'm opening a case with the Brazilian Justice to have Apple honor with all the trouble and hassle that it is causing me, it's said that I have to take this type of action as I'm a very fan of Apple and it's products, have had several iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, Keyboards, Mouses, Apple TV, etc.....This i the first time I have a problem with a Apple product and got a taste of the "Apple Care", it seems like Apple is more concerned on seeling products then keeping long time customers happy.
One last thing, today when I was at the dealer to drop my computer for repair, the Technician informed me that he also had a computer crashed and the HD erase on Sunday May 13th in the same way of mine, after the update everything was gone, also he said that we were not the only ones, iPads and iPhones were going trough the same situation, update causing complete breakdown.
WORD OF ADVISE, BE 1000% SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVRYTHING BACKED UP BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH AN UPDATE.

If I need to back-up every hour of my life in order to be able to save everything from something like this I won´t do anything else.....at least we should be able to trust that Apple tests this updates so situations like this won´t happen.
That's exactly what Time Machine does for you. It backs up every hour, so you don't have to. While it is backing up, you keep on working. Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail. Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes. They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time. Your mileage WILL vary!
If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four. You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem. And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
Apple hardware and software is very, very good. You have documented your experience of this. But NO hardware or software is perfect. You also have experience of this.
It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

How to deal with Portal, Workshop, and non-BEA software?

Hi,
I'm really new to working with portal, and have looking into integrating a single sign-on software (RSA ClearTrust) into existing portal code.
The ClearTrust installation involves installation of a bunch of software that integrates with the portal software, but I found that if the portal code was developed with Workshop, that if Workshop is run again after the ClearTrust integration has been done, that Workshop appears to overwrite some of the XML configuration files (e.g., web.xml).
The result of this is that the WebLogic server won't start.
So, I was wondering if anyone here has had to deal with this kind of situation, not necessarily with ClearTrust specifically, but maybe with other products?
I'm not looking forward to re-doing the integration everytime someone makes some portal code changes :(...
Thanks in advance,
Jim

There are really two types of Graphic Styles - Object level styles and Group level styles. There is no way to tell which style is which. So if you have an Object level Style and try to apply it to a group of objects or often a compound shape, you get each individual object having the style. If you have a Group level style and try to apply it to only an object, you often get nothing applied.
It perhaps sounds like you have an Object level style and are trying to apply it to a group.
There's no way to convert an Object level style to a Group level style or vice versa. The best (and pretty much only) way I've found to get around this is to apply the style to teh correct level then make a note of all the style settings, select the other level and recreate the style for that level.
Whether or not a style applies correctly has a great deal to do with specific aspects of the style in addition to what level the style was generated from. This is a frustrating aspect of Graphic Styles.

How to deal with moving around like in gta2?

Hi there,
I'm programming an game but i was wondering how to deal with moving around like in gta2.
my game is also top-down with you(tha player) constantly in the middle of the screen. I know how to deal with button press etc.. but how to calculate how manny pixels the map has to move in the x and y axis...
It's difficult to explain for me.. but hope the picture is clear..
greetings

I was afraid for this one already.. the picture is not clear:) thanx for your response so far.. I will try again.. with the game gta2 in mind:)
see this screenie: http://www.vollversion.de/bilder/705_1_full.jpg
My game looks the same as gta2 top down... with the character in the middle of the screen(the one firing the flame thwower )(the player). if i press up he walks towards the police car.. if i press left or right.. he only turns around(an combination of pressing up and left is also posible) thus the character walks in the direction he's facing.
Now i would like to know how did they do this? how to programm such a movement? Because the character is standing constnatly in the middle of the screen the map has to move like in almost every game... how to calculate the x and y axis movement of the map?
Please.. try agian.. hopefully the screenie will help.

Angry with Creative Tech Support!!! Battery fried and they won't help!

I am seething with anger right now over the awful Tech support I just received from Creative's Tech support phone line. I called to find out how I can get my almost new less than 2yrs old Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20gb MP3 players battery replaced. I am sure that my brand new Toyota Prius mp3 AUX jack fried the batter in my player. I have owned this for less than 2 years, and I hardly ever used this player. I always kept it charged fully and rarely played it.
I have kept my player plugged into the AUX jack in my new Prius for the past 3 weeks, I went to turn it on yesterday and the battery was dead, it would not power up, so I just thought I forgot and left it on in the car and the battery just needed to be charged. I charged it up from 5pm last night to 6am this morning and it still showed it was charging, but no progress was being made on it. I unplugged it and tried to power on, nothing,, dead,, so I plugged it back into the charger and powered it on, it came one and started playing, then I left it on and unplugged it from the charger and within 20 seconds it gave me the warning that the battery was low and it was shutting down. The battery bar was completely white and showed that it was not charged at all from all those hours of charging, it usually charges full within 4 hours, it had been plugged in for 3 hours with it not being charged at all, yet it showed that it was charging..
So, I know the battery is now fried, and I am sure the Prius AUX jack killed the battery, I have already heard of one other person this happening to on a Prius message board.
So, I called up Creative this morning to just ask them how much to put in a new internal battery and fix it, they won't do it because it is out of warranty,, I told them I know it is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay? them to fix it, they told me that don't do? that, and I then asked very nicely and calmly to please direct me in how I can get it fixed, silence,,, from the agent,, she did not know what to say, basically she kept telling me I would just have to buy a new one.. I repeatly asked her to please tell me if the internal battery is replaceable by "SOMEBODY", I know Creative will not repair it, but you cannot tell me that this player is garbage now and nobody can fix it just because Creative refuses to do so.
I then asked her how they can make a $250 product that cannot be repaired once it is out of warranty. I asked her what kind of company makes products that are not fixable?, This does not make any sense at all. once again, silence from her.. I kept? repeating that I just want to know if the battery can be replaced by somebody and how to go about finding out. She acted like it was a big secret. I said, Look, I know you won't fix it, but it has to be fixable by somebody... right,, or are you telling me that once the warranty is out, products just need to be thrown away in the garbage and replaced with a new one,, there is nothing else wrong with the player, the battery is just fried, that is all, as it still works when it is plugged in to the charger.
You cannot tell me that a company like this makes internal batteries that are NOT fixable once they break, and the ONLY solution is just to buy a new product? This is insane, if this is the case I will NEVER buy another Creative product again..
I have now called Toyota to see what they are going to do about this, but I'm not sure how I can proove that the AUX jack really did the damage. I know it did, but all I want to find out is how to get somebody to replace the internal battery.
I have over 4,000 songs on this thing and I don't want to buy a new one and have to download them all again, this took me over 6 months to do this...
Does anybody have any suggestions, I really truly disappointed in Creative and how they operate. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she wanted to pass me along to another Agent, I said NO, I want your name and the supervisors name and I am now waiting for a call back within 48 hours they told me.

HI, Thanks for the websites, I did find some yesterday,, Be assured that if your player is out of warranty Creative will not repair it for you even if you tell them that you will pay for the repair. They just don't care, they want people to just buy a new one and they will refuse to tell you that there are places out there that will fix it for you. It is like some big secret I guess and their customer service reps in the Tech dept. will NOT tell you this. To me, this is such a deception and the most awful customer service in my opinion. I can guarantee that I will never buy another creative product again if? this is how they deal with customers that have purchased their products.
I was not blaming them for the battery not working or anything just wanted their help in finding out how I can get it fixed. Crap happens and things break, but if Creative truly has the opinion that they will refuse to talk to you after the warranty has run out, this is totally appalling. I actually had to lie when I called and I had to hit the button that said that my player was less than 6 months old. Because there was NO way for me to talk to a li've person or get any questions answered by them if the player was out of warranty. They direct you to the website help, but that site is NOT working, and I still get a message today telling me that some "Kana" help website is currently not responding. This has been doing this since yesterday.
So, right off the bat you are already shown that Creative could care less about their products after the warranty runs out.
Oh, and I never said in my post that I did not have my music backed up on CD's or on the Computer, I merely said that I did not feel like downloading all 4,000 songs again onto a new player, that takes time. I have over 25,000 songs, almost my entire CD collection on my computer and it does take time to go over all those again and pick the ones I would want on a new player. All of my music is backed up, that does not mean though that it is not a pain in the butt to transfer them all to?a new player. I certainly will not buy another Creative product, so I would in essence have to start all over again and pick out the ones I want on a new player.
I'm in the process now of finding one of those repair places on the web to fix it, but I will never buy another product from Creative again

Best way to deal with photos from the start? (Bridge CS5 and iPhoto)

Hi all,
I'm just learning the ropes of the whole CS5 suite, and was starting to add keywords etc. in Bridge when I realized I couldn't access the files in my iPhoto ('09) library. I've read a few threads about this issue, but haven't really found a consensus on how to deal with it.
I figure I'm in a good position to get things right from the start since I have no tags or ratings etc. in my iPhoto setup (and have only added keywords to the few pics that weren't in my iPhoto Library), and am wondering what you think is the best way to sort photos given I plan on using them in web design etc., and all the parts of my CS5 suite.
If getting the photos out of iPhoto is best what's the best way to do that? I've read suggestions to right click on the library and click on "Show Contents"- or something like that, but that does not come up as an option when I right click my iPhoto Library in Bridge. Thanks so much for your help!
Please let me know if there is any info I could give you that would be helpful in order to figure this one out.
Best,
Mara

I must be far too lazy to be sure. In iPhoto if I want to move an image all I
do is click and drag from iPhoto to the desktop.
Here comes the trouble with using iPhoto and mixing applications. You have
to be sure what you do in iPhoto because you easily grab the wrong version
instead of the original.
As Tai Lao pointed out the the difference between Bridge and iPhoto in short
is open visible structure for Bridge and hidden invisible library for
iPhoto.
There may be perfect and valid reason to use iPhoto but mixing the two
workflows without thinking or knowing what you do is bound to get you sooner
or later in trouble with wrong versions of the file.
And clicking and dragging from iPhoto is easy to mistake in those versions.
1 - I used to create incredible folder/sub-folder arrangements depending upon
operating system file management to find files.
You can create whatever structure you want including a thought through
naming convention that suites your needs, if you keep doing this in Bridge
you can easily open and close folders using the folder panel, in iPhoto you
have a lot of events and albums but none as clear as in Bridge. (at least
that is my opinion...)
Also I would prefer to use a good naming convention with less folders and
subfolders instead of bad file naming and many well named folders. Also
using the metadata options description and keywords let's you easily find
the files you want but when having the need to retrieve the original from an
external disk or DVD using less folders will be quicker to find.
Since depending upon metadata keywords or star ratings I now prefer to have
all images (originals and amended) in one single folder as Bridge (or iPhoto
for that matter) can only see the images in the folder it is looking at.
Wrong, using the find option (cmd+F) you can specify Bridge to look in main
folders or entire disk, include the option to look in subfolders and you are
in business (but the first time Bridge caches it also need to index all the
metadata, that takes some time but only the first time.
2 - potential feature request for Bridge?
To have an option where Bridge can see and display images in subfolder
arrangements from the folder it is looking at.
That is already there since a view versions
Select a folder with subfolders and then from the menu view select 'show
items for subfolders'
It is still not a perfect way of functioning but it gets better every new
version, in CS5 the speed of gathering the files is very much improved.
However here is iPhoto the winner because it keeps the files in cache (or
something like that) Bridge is not the best in this behavior but it is
possible to use.
This is a bit like a restriction of OS X "All images" to all images in the
selected folder and all subfolders of the selected folder (if that makes any
sense at all)
Many users have tons of files on there system, why would you use that option
to view all if you are perfectly capable of finding the files or file types
you want in most applications (but you can also find them in OSX, you want
psd files do a search for ".psd" and you will see all the psd files on your
system.
3 - iPhoto can't really handle large files. With one event consisting of
4,500+ images weighing in at 884 MB it is zippy. Were those to be originals
at a high resolution iPhoto would probably be tediously slow and require a
folder/sub-folder arrangement which, to me, seems to undermine the importance
of managing stuff using keywords.
IPhoto is not designed to be a professional application, therefore you can't
expect behavior for this
In Bridge you have no limit of files on your system only the limit for the
cache is somewhere around 500.000 I believe. But even Bridge is not really
designed for handling that amount of files in a pleasant way.
I also don't know of an application that can do so for normal retail prices,
most users of that amount of files have custom made or customized
application that costs many thousands dollars. Bridge is in fact a free gift
when buying a Suite application from Adobe.
The file size for viewing in Bridge is by default set to a max of 1 GB but
that is for building previews you can see thumbs and small previews of
bigger files. In the Bridge preferences you can set the limit for this to
whatever you want, it only grows the cache file for previews when using many
large files.
In summary: Bridge is great for CS5 partnering on metadata, original images or
large filesizes.
I couldn't agree more!
iPhoto is great on sharing images across devices and better
still if those files are low res with small filesizes?
I couldn't disagree more...
You can do all of this using Bridge to start own created actions or with
scripts like image processor.
Do some research on Adobe TV or view other video tutorials on the web, there
are many free and good tutorials. You will learn that you can do all you
want in Bridge (and a lot more...)

Security with Web Service calling some EJBs

Hi everybody,
I have implemented some web services residing in a war file deployed on my Tomcat. The web services module is a client to some EJBs deployed on my JBoss. I need to log the user in my realm on each WS request and log the user out before the WS response.
I have implemented security on web applications with JBoss and used JAAS realms succesfully but what do I do in this case with Web Services? I mean the requests are stateless. If I use the org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule
won't this override the credentials of another user who is already logged in the realm?
I have also implemented a standalone application which spawns a thread for each user request and I am wondering about the same thing. This application is a service listening for some kind of messages; on a message the application should log the user in the realm before calling an EJB and log the user after the request is completed. So it's more or less the same situation as above.
Is this possible? I mean logging many users in the same realm in one non-web application?
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!!
thoism

requests are stateless, just as are requests to webapps.
Which is hardly surprising as a web services stack is typically implemented as a web application.
If you could log in only a single user at the same time to an EJB application, it would be rather pointless to have the application as a distributed multiuser system :)
What you might check is whether you're allowed to log in the same user several times, if I remember correctly this can be limited in the EJB module deployment descriptors.

Numbers 09 is slow dealing with relatively large files

As some of you might know, Excel 2008 is painfully slow when opening relatively large files (about 12000 rows and 28 columns) that have simple 2D x-y charts. FYI, Excel 2004 doesn't have the same problem (and Excel 2003 in the XP world is even better). I purchased iWork09 hoping that Numbers 09 will help, but unfortunately I have the same problem. iWok09 takes more than 5 minutes to open the file - something the older versions of Excel could do in seconds. When the file opens up, it is impossible to manipulate it. I have a MacBook with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM running OS x (version 10.5.6).
Has anybody else experienced the same problem? If so, is there a bug in iWork09, or is it because it isn't meant to deal with large files.
I appreciate your response.

Numbers '08 was very slow.
Numbers '09 is not so slow but it's not running like old fashioned spreadsheets.
I continue to think that it's a side effect of the use of xml to describe thr document.
We may hope that developers will discover programming tips able to fasten the beast.
Once again, I really don't understand why users may buy an application before testing it with the FREE 30 days demo available from Apple's Web page.

Dealing with frequent disconnected states (replication) - advice needed

Hello,
We have a very complex environment and I was wondering if anyone out there in the SQL community had ever dealt with, or had ideas on how to deal with, this unique sort of environment. We support two "homegrown" SQL Database applications over
a geographically dispersed area. The remote locations are currently connected via T1s. But, it doesn't end there... At the remote locations, there are vehicles that are often disconnected for, sometimes, months at a time, where folks on those
vehicles are entering and accessing data from the applications. We currently use SQL 2008 Merge replication, and, it works... but, it, lately, has had some issues. But, it DOES work... It just doesn't feel like the ideal solution. The
way we have it now, our main SQL DB is in our main datacenter... then, at each remote location, there is another SQL server that houses a copy of the database using SQL merge replication. Then, on each vehicle, we have servers that have everything on
them (they are domain controllers, SQL servers and web application servers) and, also on the vehicle is a laptop set up to access the application from that server over wireless. When the server on the vehicle can see the domain and the DB server at the
remote location, merge replication handles synching those two.
Does anyone have a better solution to this? I guess an example of our situation would be something like if NASA wanted to use our applications and they needed to be able to continue using the application even if they did not have internet or any, for
that matter, connectivity.
Thank you in advance for any advice/ideas.
Charlie

Merge replication was designed for this.
The question is where are you stumbling. You said it works, but now have some unspecified problems. What is the nature of the problems you are seeing? Keep in mind that merge replication is designed to be resilient to failures. I have some clients where
90% of their sync's fail, but the 10% that work replicate their data within the design parameters for the application.
I did have a client with 4000 subscribers hanging off one publisher. It worked well, but they decided to use XML diffgrams for their change detection and data transfer and run Oracle end to end. This change was driven by problems they were having with
their data integration requirements.
NASA would likely implement a custom solution using open source technologies, because that is their way of doing business (at least with the part of NASA I have worked with).

How to deal with several itunes users in a house

I will try to be brief but explain what I don't know how to configure.
We have three children. We have 5 laptops that work wirelessly, and we have music and photos all stored on a shared NAS drive. We moved our iTunes music folder successfully to it when we set up.
1. We set everyone's folder location, under preferences, to the folder on the NAS drive.--- It won't stay. With any reboot or interruption in signal it switches back to the individual computer's hard drive. This is a pain, because every time you reset it, you have to wait for 30 gigs of music to update. This has been asked before and no one answers it. Is it a bug and is Apple aware?
2. I understand that we can "share" our libraries. But how do we deal with the issue of individual family members purchasing songs from iTunes? As in, I would like to add songs my teen bought to my ipod, but how do I know if there is new music beside asking them to "log" all their purchased so I can manually look for them. We can't just sync every time. They have nanos, and I don't want to have to weed through Christmas music, audio books, and Kidz Bop each time and delete them. What about someone finding they are not "authorized" to play a song? We can have 5 authorized no? I tried to drag something from a shared library onto an ipod and it wouldn't let me.
Please help. My last question dropped to page three by the end of the day with no response.

I guess then I need to read more about my NAS drive, because it is always on. I read in another thread about the same issue the question was asked, "Is your NAS drive mounted?" I have no idea what that means. There was other ideas of making alias of the NAS iTunes folder and putting in on the laptop's dock, but I didn't quite understand that either.
I thought NAS was a rapper. Well, I have no idea what a NAS drive is. But it should have no influence on iTunes' behavior. If that drive is always on and visible on your Desktop (= "mounted"), iTunes shouldn't change its settings re. its Library.
It would be easier to draw all this instead of explaining, but, well, we are not that far yet.
0: If you set up on all Macs that iTunes stores its files on one drive, iTunes should not change this on any of them as long as it is always on, as you said. If it does, thought, something is wrong. Don't ask me, what.
Ok, just to make this even more complicated, LOL if each person has their own laptop and ipod, and everyone in the household has used their 5 authorizations on each other's computers, then theoretically, when everyone accesses the itunes library they should be able to copy the songs onto their devices?
1: You can play all your music on this external drive from anywhere in the house.
2: You can activate the DRM files on every Mac in the house and play them.
3: You canNOT use one iPod on more than one Mac, regardless if the music is DRM or not. iPod 1 is associated with Mac A, iPod 2 with Mac B etc. If you change that, all music from iPod 1 will be deleted before the music from Mac B will be copied to it. So, it's always 1:A, 2:B etc., not iPod 1 : Mac A & B & C... Otherwise, your iPods would be regular external hard drives from which you could copy tons of music to someone else's PC, which is illegal. That's why all the music on an iPod is made invisible. And even after making it visible with special utilities (I tried that once), you won't be able to recognize which song is which. CDs are not stored together, etc. Apple would not have got the permissions for the iTunes Store / iPods from the music industry if it was the perfect utility for illegal music sharing.
Did I savvy what you meant?
