Does anyone know how iCloud resolves conflicts? (iOS save games)
Hello all,
We're having some users report an issue with our App that their save game is being nuked when they close the App, sing in to iCloud and then re-open. We have a number of leads we can follow, but first thing is first; Does anyone know how conflicts are resolved by the iCloud system? What it does internally?
Scenario:
Achieve some amount of progress through an App.
Achieve some other amount of progress through an App from a different device.
Sign into iCloud on both.
iCloud obviously decides which data to use, but how? Is it literally just a "last write to file wins" case?
Another question is, does anybody know if iCloud would act strangely/not at all on a device which was jailbroken? We have a very small number of users reporting this issue so that may be another likely situation.
Many thanks
Yes, we are fully supporting iCloud. It's a very rare case that we get this report from users and no solid repro steps have yet been given. Many users have successfully played on multiple devices with iCloud enabled and their save game is perfectly intact. There just seems to be an edge case where it's possible that a call to iClouds synchronize and what it actually does in that function is resolving an older save file. So knowing what the internals of how it resolves conflicts will allow us to add another layer with our own conflict resolution specific to our App.

Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

I downloaded a ringdown direct from itunes to my iphone 4S. When I go to settings/sounds/ringtone, the new ringtone is not there! I have downloaded it twice, but still not there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

I cannot add my phone number to Facetime or imessage. The number is listed but not ticked and is greyed out. Does anyone know how to add the phone number? Thanks for any help.
Adobe Reader is a FREE program, so you would not enter a credit card
If you have a subscription to a PAID program, removing your credit card information would cause that program to stop working when you stop paying for your subscription
If that is what you want, here is the information on how to cancel

Does anyone know how to resolve FTP connection issues?
I am receiving an FTP error in connecting to anything and I need help figuring out why? I used to be able to connect to godaddy and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting. I tried the proxy settings and turning of my virus protection, but nothing works. In the help area, I tried to connect to dreamweavers ftp example site, but that connection failed also. I am getting a connection timed out response after about 10 seconds and it says I can not make connection to host.
Does anyone have any other possible solutions? I am thinking of uninstalling the program and reinstalling it just to see if that works, but I would rather not do that. Thank youDoes this happen with all projects, specifically the sample projects? Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.
If it does, then it might be quicker overall to just uninstall and reinstall.
Otherwise post back.

Does anyone know how to resolve RoboHelp 10 not allowing me to close the Project or Exit
RH 10 does not let me close the Project, use the Exit menu item from the File menu, or click the X at the upper right-hand corner, or in any other way. I have to brute-force a close from Task Manager to exit properly. Does anyone have a resolution/suggestion?

i have purchased Fallout 3 GOTY edition and i can't seem to play it. i have wine and winebottler, and many other zip programs. I can install the game and everything and after it downloads, i press run program, but nothing happens? .. i also have bootcamp but cant seem to download that?? even with wine bottler and all that noting happens and i cant download and install bootcamp?? can anyone help with info on running a pc game on a mac please? i have a macbook pro that i purchased in early 2011 and it has heaps of space, and has intel core processor and all that?? if that helps
First... WineBottler is VERY OLD and no longer updated. Use Wineskin instead if your trying to get games running on your own.
Second... You may want to become a member over at portingteam.com forums... there is a working Fallout3 wrapper over there you can download and use. I think it was made with Wineskin. -
Can anyone help? I've just bought a new printer and printed first copy of 2 successfully (double page), second copy only printed half number of pages (12 of 25) and even when I've tried printing per page same thing happens. Any idea how to fix this problem?
Hi @Cherry_B ,
I see that you are having issues printing a full page and multiple pages. I can help you, but I will need some more information.
In the mean time, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What application are you printing from?
Try another application to see if you have the same results.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a great day!
Thank You.

I am trying to resore my iphone 4 and the phone keeps causing an error 4005. i have updated itunes and am at a loss as how to restore phone. please help
Hello there, Shaz18663.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a solution for the error you have mentioned:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Particularly:
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
