Dell Computer Users Read This!

My dad had a proffesional come to our house and try to install itunes to our dell computer. unfortunatley, the guy said that itunes is not compatible with dell computers for some reason and all the people itunes he tried to install had dell and it never worked. so my dad got a new computer which is not a dell im just writing this to tell all the dell computer users that itunes is NOT compatible with it. if you got yours to work with a dell more power to ya.
Other OS

I have iTunes/iPod installed on two Dell Laptops and my brother-in-law has a 2 Laptops and Desktop by Dell. All running iTunes without issue.
Maybe your OS is not compatible.
Hope you did not buy a PC from that "professional", as well.

HT2518 I have picture it anniversary edition which I use a lot on my Dell computer. Is this program comparable ?

I have Microsoft picture it anniversary edition installed on my Dell computer. Is this program comparable with an Apple computer or is there something similar?

Not really.
Microsoft stopped selling that software over 6 years ago and the and nothing on a Mac can open the .MIX files it made.
You'll need to convert your .MIX files to JPEG before you move them to a Mac.
iPhoto is what most of us use.

ROKU SoundBridge users read this BEFORE installing iTunes7

The following was emailed to me today from ROKU
" With the release of iTunes 7.0 yesterday, Apple has changed some of the underlying technology that allows the SoundBridge to communicate directly with iTunes. We hope to have an iTunes 7.0- compatible release of the SoundBridge software soon; however, at this time all SoundBridges are incompatible with the music sharing feature of iTunes 7.0. We recommend that SoundBridge owners wait for a SoundBridge update before upgrading to iTunes 7.0. Users wishing to upgrade to iTunes 7.0 (or who have already upgraded) can install the free Firefly media server to share music libraries with SoundBridge. Firefly is available at http://www.rokulabs.com/firefly"
Had I have known earlier it would have saved a lot of time reloading iTunes 6

Aw come on "a brody".... where's the fun in that? Anyway, I think you are spitting into the wind. Anyone who is not aware, at this point in computer history, of the fragility of digital data is probably not going to even be reading this. I'm afraid we are in for another round of "disaster" and "catastrophe" and "10.5.1 bricked my computer" and "10.5.1 ate my files" and "my mother had a hernia and it's Apple's fault" threads.

Toast users read this

Hi there, I know that many of us use Toast for burning DVDs.
In a recent post, I explained my problems with multisession burning using a MAC/PC format (compatible for both Mac and Pc)
The answer I finally got from the Roxio technical service is the following:
"Regarding your issue with burning milti-session CD's. Unfortunatley
this option is only available when burning "Mac only" CD's, a "Mac & PC"
option is not available."
I have found that a good alternative is to use the ISO9660 option which allows multisessions.
Have a nice day all.

Isn't Titanium Toast a little hard to eat?

VERIZON users read this first!

I just bought a new Droid X from Verizon about three weeks ago and after two weeks the phone was dead due to poor workmanship from the company. Now Verizon does not want to replace it, and I get nothing but delays and excuses when it comes to get another one. I also paid 400 something for this phone and they wanted me to accept a use factory 2nd for a replacement. Verizon will screw you bad with these phones. Do not buy a Droid X they are worthless and the company will not work with you for a replacement.

I hear you pain, I have been with other companies too and the best service was Alltel but now Verizon has taken over and they are improving in customer service. I had to switch to Verizon because of my 4 relatives sharing my plan two needed new phones. I was forced to switch to Verizon. This came at no cost to me but I felt that I was starting over with a new company because I was an Alltel customer and was with them for years.
Back to your pain, I had the Blackberry Storm then switched to the Storm 2 and had a lot of problems with it, I was in the store every other month and they gave me refurbished phones, always a new problem. I call the *611 number and was given a choice to upgrade my phone even though I haven’t been with them for 2 years. I upgraded to the Droid X. I love it, no problems. Bottom line is … there is a lemon where ever you go, be it a relative or a car or an electronic piece of equipment, and they are out there. My husband has a Storm and never has problems. If I had to do it again I would choose the Droid X again and again until something better comes along.
They offered a refurbished one because that’s their policy and I understand the whole spend 400 for a now refurbished phone. It sucks. But it’s better than nothing and refurbished phones have been looked over by experts ( I use that term carefully) and you still have a warranty so if it fails then do it again. Try the * 611 number, it may help, they don’t want to lose your service and don’t want you to stand in their store complaining.

Hand - Off - Auto / Remote - SCADA Architecture Question *All You Super Users Read This*

I am new to the forum. I have searched the net for almost 6 months on this and haven't really found a good response....
I have been around the block a few times with various control systems(Arduino/Labview/AllenBradley/general SCADA) and am trying to figure out how to build a "proper" control system on the cheap. I used to use alot of Labview in School so that is how I ended up here.
What I want to do is have Hand Control at the Machine (Arduino Control System / or something) be able to switch that to Auto/Remote (Labview or some other language) then have that talk to SCADA (Thingspeak, SQL, havent figured this part out yet).
My question is how would you do it? I am a pretty good programmer and know just about every language so nothing is off the table. Seriously I would like to see some creative action.
I dont think LIFA is the best cause I need LOCAL control of all the variables. I would like to have PID loops etc running on the Arduino. I need to be controlling serial attached machines. I have some RS-485/232 going to VFDs and a dSPiN as well.
However, when I want to control it remotely, I would like to be able to pass set points if in auto mode or even better, in addition, be able to override auto and drill down into each attached component and control it in Hand remotely.
I know I could do this by building everything in VIs then linking through LIFA and using the VI as my hand/auto. However, I do not trust the link between LIFA and the Arduino that much. Also I do not know the capability of LIFA to do the RS-485 and serial data to the dSpiN. I need to be on Ethernet/Wifi, and if the controller goes down we may have a legitimate safety problem; hence why I want local control as my backup.
Further more how would you do the SCADA? I dont want to spend 4K on a Full Labview License.....I would prefer just using the iPad app and some free online services...I will have a server running all the time as well.
If LIFA can be used to do some of this please let me know....Any links to past projects by people would be a huge help.
My Plan right now is:
Machine Data/Control sent to Arduino over RS-485 , 4-20ma and SPI.
Local Control on the Arduino. Local Arduino connected LCD displays Key Parameters.
Send Local Main Variables *Set Point / Run / Stop Etc / Key Data* over Serial or Hacked LIFA to Labview over ethernet or wi-fi.
Labview acts as main supervisory "go-between" and provides all main "in house" HMI support
Real time proccesing happens in Labview and is displayed on labview VIs; Realtime data is also sent out remotely over a service for world wide access.
Labview also sends all real time data to historical service of some kind either (web based or local based) (will be locally hosted)
Access historical data remotely by some means (API / Webservice)
Remote World Wide Access to Labview and thus machine, through Labview iPad app or VPN into house.
World Wide Historical Access through API or Webpage.
That is where I am at in my thinking. Please blow it up and make it better.
I appreciate y'alls help. I posted this in the Arduino Section and they told me to post here.

Hello Colin,
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the overall architecture but, if you need to build a SCADA type system, you can use LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module. It’s an add-on to LabVIEW and a lower cost alternate option to other SCADA programs out there.
The LabVIEW software is not a free tool, but will save you time developing your project. Also if you use one provider, your support request will be handled from one source, therefore making your development process more efficient.
Please refer to the following links in case you are interested in evaluating the LabVIEW Software and LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
Ciao.

ITunes message 'the phone " " is in use by another user on this computer'

I am receiving the following message when I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes:
'the phone "phone name " is in use by another user on this computer'
I believe that this happened as a result of the following:
I forced a restore of this phone. When the phone was restarting itself I closed and reopened iTunes on my iMac. When I reopened iTunes I rec'd a message that the iTunes Library file was locked. Per discussion advice I solved this locked file problem by overwriting with a slightly older iTunes Library file from Time Machine. This solved the locked file problem, but now I can't sync my phone to my iMac any attempt to do so results in the message noted above .
The phone will sync (restore) with iTunes on another computer.
I have tried the following to correct the problem, but no success at syncing my iPhone to my iMac:
1. Forced another restore of the phone to factory settings (on another computer, Mac Air)
2. Restarted iTunes
3. Restarted the iMac.
3. Opened iTunes with a newly created Library
Any suggestions as to how I might convince my computer that my iPhone is not in use by another user much appreciated.

1. You are thread-jacking. Kangdequan has an open question and adding unrelated questions to that, will not help him at all. Kangdequan, please see below.
2. There have been countless articles in the last few years explaining why some countries have iTunes music stores and others not. The main reason is something called copyright.
3. There is an Apple app store in the Philippines.
4. There are many other sources of music.
Kandequan. It may be that something has become corrupted, but I also see a problem in that the iPhone is only supposed to sync with one computer. Trying to sync with a second one will not work.
There are a number of things you may need to do now, but first decide which computer is to be the one that you sync with: the master, if you will.
Whichever one you decide on, you need to make sure that all files point to that and there is a process written up by a user "wjosten".
You may also need to follow the Apple suggestions for making iTunes recognise your device.

Fast user switching and "ipod is in use by another user on this computer"

Is there any way to suppress the "ipod is in use by another user on this computer" message that appears when you use fast user switching.
my wife and I share a mac pro and when flipping between sessions, this message gets to be a bit annoying. i.e. if her itouch is plugged in and she is managing it through her library, if I fast user switch to my session, I get the warning dialog (ok to clear) I mention above. This is kind of annoying now, since I understand I won't be able to manage that ipod from my itunes session.
is there anyway to suppress this behavior?

Hi again,
Glad to hear you got all your music files back into your library.
I've seen this iPod error before, but I don't know why it occurs. In my experience, restarting the computer solves the problem.
Cheers,
Sara.

Error: "The phone is in use by another user of this computer"

Hi,
Itunes hung and had to be "force quit". When I started it again, I got the following message.
"The phone <phone name> is in use by another user of this computer"
I rebuild he iTunes libaray, but the message won't go away. Any ideas? I'm guessing there is a lock file somewhere.
thanks

TS1389 I am trying to authorize my new DELL computer. I installed the i tunes today so it is up to date. THERE IS NO "AUTHORIZE THIS COMPUTER" WHEN I CLICK STORE.

I am trying to authorize my new DELL computer to i tunes, which I updated today.Under the instructions it says: under store menu choose Authorize this computer. When I get to store there is no menu and no"authorize this computer."

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Windows intune message are you the primary users of this computer?

When logged in with a adminstrative account, we successfully installed the Windows Intune client with the login crecentials that are specific for one user.
When this user is logged in to his Windows desktop and he wants to start the Company Portal, he receives a message after using his Intune account credentials:
"Are you the primary users of this computer? To take full advantage of the Windows Intune Portal, and to able to install apps on this computer, it has to be linked to you. If you aren't linked as the primary user of this computer, you will not be able
to install apps from this portal.
You have the option Yes or No.
When selecting Yes, you will receive an error: Oops... an error occured! Link was not successful. An error occured when we tried to link you to this device. You will not be able to install apps onto this device from Windows Intune Portal before you are linked
to the device. For assistance Contact IT.
More information will show you an Activity ID code.
When you continue you can install apps from the Portal, but each time you connect to the Portal you will receive this message.
Is this a bug?

Depending on how you plan on using Intune this may not apply but for us, it provided a "decent" work around for windows 8.1 devices.
During our initial testing of Intune, we got around this "error" message on Windows 8.1 devices by installing the Company Portal app. It required a separate Windows Store account to successfully install the app as none of my corporate test accounts
were linked to Microsoft accounts, which you had the option to do.
Once the App was installed I was finally able to log into our Company Store with the test Intune account that was linked to the Windows 8.1 tablet. Our published LOB apps were listed along with the linked device too.
You could definitely deploy or sideload the Company Portal app, but for my testing purposes installing from the Store was sufficient. Unfortunately, logging in from the website or the Applications link located in the Windows Intune Center
still will not work. A solution would be greatly appreciated as we were hoping to deploy to Windows 7 devices also.
