Do you need to have a Computer running Lion to keep your me account on your iPhone

Just thought I would ask, because if I can that is where I want to stay and not go to Lion until I find a better alternative to syncing my computers and contacts

  • I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

    No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

  • Why do we need to have a observer run on the different computer

    Hello team,
    Why do we need to have a observer run on the different computer and how to install & confgure it on that different computer.?pls help
    5.5.6 Managing the Observer
    The observer is integrated in the DGMGRL client-side component and runs on a different computer from the primary or standby databases and from the computer where you manage the broker configuration. The observer continuously monitors the fast-start failover environment to ensure the primary database is available (described in Section 5.5.2.1). The observer's main purpose is to enhance high availability and lights out computing by reducing the human intervention required by the manual failover process that can add minutes or hours to downtime.
    Thanks

    Thanks Aman,
    Do we need a same db binary & OS version for starting the observer on the different computer ?? here the primary & standby are liunx.
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards,it does not have to be on the same platform or operating system on which the databases reside, and it does not need Oracle EE and an instance (which means no extra license).
    To configure check this.

  • HT202759 Do you need to have the latest iCloud running to sync all devices?   Thanks.

    Do you need to have the latest iCloud running to sync all devices?   Thanks.

    Thank you.   New, but similar issue.  Running XP and early iCloud on laptop.  iOS 8+ on iPad and iPhone.  Photos do not sync from iPad to itunes to iPhone Nor from iPhone to iPad. Both iOS devices are configured exactly the same.  This leads me conclude that my laptop running XP is the weak link.  Make sense? 

  • Do you need to have iTunes on your Windows computer to have iCloud ?

    Do you need to have iTunes on your Windows computer to have Icloud?

    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

  • I have CS2 with the discs and serial number. After needing to have my computer wiped, reloading the discs, and imputing the serial number, neither phone activation or on-line activation works. What do I do? Lanny

    I have CS2 with the discs and serial number. After needing to have my computer wiped, reloading the discs, and imputing the serial number, neither phone activation or on-line activation works. What do I do? Lanny

    Adobe took down the CS and CS2 activation servers, but they put up a version of CS2 for those who previously had a license to it.
    You will need to download the software from here, and use the serial number given on these pages. Follow the directions on this link, and you will soon be up and running again.

    I have WRT54G v3.  Have new computer running vista -- changed WEP security to WPA.  New computer works fine. 
    Went to use my laptop today and even though it shows a WPA secured connection and says I'm connected -- I can't get on-line.  Laptop uses WIN XP.  New computer and older wired desktop connecting fine.
    What do I need to do to make hp laptop & new hp compatible? 
    Thanks 

    I followed directions for Nortons firewall -- I also downloaded Network Magic. 
    Last night I ran ipconfig on both computers and didn't change anything but they both came on-line.  Not sure what or why but they were at least working.
    Just now I followed directions for Nortons firewall on new computer which has 2008 I believe........then downloaded Network Magic and installed on both PC & laptop.
    The only difference is the version of Norton which os '05 on the laptop.  I see a secure connection - WPA - on both computers.
    New question:  I have a 3rd computer, an older PC which is connected direct to the router.  This is primarily for my husband to use for e-mail and browsing the web -- no need to share any files and it has a separate printer.     Should I also run Network Magic on that computer or leave it as is?
    Thanks so much to both of you.  I was up till late worrying about this.

  • Apple Please sort out the V 11.1.4 problems as I cant get iTunes to work now. You need to have a new version asap

    Please sort out the V 11.1.4 problems as I cant get iTunes to work now. You need to have a new version asap

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Error starting Acrobat X Pro: ...You need to deactivate another computer within 32767 days to use

    The serial number xxxxxxx...  is already in use by the maximum allowed computers. You need to deactivate another computer within 32767 days to use this product.
    Installed CS6 Design Std (which included Acro X Pro) from DVD.  All the apps work except for Acrobat, which gives the above error.  The s/n in the error is different from the s/n used for installing Design Std.  Per support, fully uninstalled Design Std and any other Acrobat related s/w, then ran a "cleaner" that they provided.  Reinstalled CS6 Design Std from DVD ... same problem.  Already wasted over 4 hours on Adobe support chat.
    Thanks.

    This suggestion from Adobe Tech Support did NOT work either...
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.
    I understand that you are unable to activate Acrobat X Pro.
    From the error message it seems like Acrobat is taking the standalone serial number and not from the suite.
    Have you tried uninstalling only Acrobat and reinstall it from the CS6 suite? If not, then please perform uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it as trial.
    Once the reinstallation is completed, first launch a product from CS6 like Photoshop and then launch Acrobat X and check if it works.

  • I'm trying to download sheet music and need to run libellous scorch add-on in 32 bit model. I have a mac running lion and the latest safari. I have downloaded FireFox 6 and run it in 32 bit but still I can't see the music score to print. Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • Firefox is it the only browser that you need to have your task manager open with in order to surf?

    Firefox is it the only browser that you need to have your task manager open with in order to surf?

    Nothing much to see on that site, but I don't have a problem opening the page. See screenshot.
    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer

    Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer?  How can you update to OS 5?  I want to get one for my mom but she doesn't have a computer of any type.  Can I set it up on mine (I already have an account, an ipod and ipad2)  and then give to her to use?  Can't find any info on this.  Do I have to set up an Itunes account for her on my computer initially?  Will she then be able to update via wi-fi???  Thanks

    To update to iOS 5 you need to do it thru iTunes on a computer. Once updated, thought, you can subsequently keep it up to date without a computer, thru Wi-Fi.
    Yes, you can use an iPad without a computer, but all things normally synced to the computer will have no backup (photos, videos, etc). If you set up a Wi-Fi network for your mom, she should be able to get a lot of use from it.
    Be careful about setting it up with your Apple ID, though. Once it is set up with your Apple ID it is tied to your creit card. Any future purchases (apps, books, etc) will always go thru your account.

  • How do you add apps if you don't have a computer?

    Since I anticipate having students with a brand new iPad and I know that some of them will not have a computer, I need to find out how they can download a few free apps such as the iBooks.app and the iTunes U.app directly to their iPads.  As I understand it, this requires the App Store.app which is not pre-installed on the iPad.  So it looks like a Catch-22 situation for students who have an iPad but don't have a computer.
    Surely there has to be a way around this.

    Not according to what I read here:
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/ios/
    There, Apple lists it's built-in apps as follows:
    There's no AppStore.app listed.  From this I can only assume that one has to download that essential app to a computer and then sync it to the iPad.  If you don't have a computer, you can't have any apps!  Sounds ridiculous for sure but that's what I am seeing so far.
