Free BBC with The Cloud

I was in my local town today and did a WiFi scan with my Touch. It found a Cloud hotspot and showed no padlock symbol so I selected it. I discovered that I could connect to BBC websites, despite not having an account with The Cloud. No other websites worked as I just got re-directed to the Cloud login page.
Emails would not download either. I'm guessing this works due to the plan to allow free access for Touch users to the Cloud hotspots for the upcoming BBC iPlayer.
However, if this remains in place it's a great way to get free (if limited) web access.

Oh that explains it.
Just discovered that the iPlayer is now up and running (beta) on the Touch!! Not all programmes work just yet but have just tried it our and the quality is fantastic.
Nice one Auntie & Apple!

IPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud

*Check this out:-*
http://www.thecloud.net/page/3653 (iPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud)
Sounds quite cool & not too expensive either...
Extract:-
+Friday, 28 September 2007+
The Cloud today announced that it is giving Wi-Fi access to owners of Apple’s new iPod touch in thousands of hotspots across the UK. From Monday, users will be able to use their iPod touch to access the internet and Apple's online iTunes service in Wi-Fi hotspots provided by The Cloud.
The new Wi-Fi service, called Cloud Unlimited Music, will be available from Monday 1st October 2007 for £3.99 per month, specifically for iPod touch, and is not subject to any minimum term contract.
Owen Geddes, Group Director of Business Development at The Cloud, commented; “We believe this is a significant step forward in making music, podcasts and video available when, and wherever, people really want it. iPhone users will soon be able to make the most of our Wi-Fi network with O2 and The Cloud when the iPhone is introduced in November and we want to make sure people who have the Wi-Fi enabled iPod touch are able benefit from our network of over 7,500 hotspots too.”
iPod Touch users need to sign-up for the service at http://www.thecloud.co.uk/ipod , where they can register their individual device for use on The Cloud’s network across the UK and pay for the service. Once a user has registered their device, they are able to connect to any The Cloud Wi-Fi network without complicated usernames and passwords. The service is being introduced in the UK first and will become available in other European markets shortly.
The Cloud offers wireless broadband access at thousands of locations across Europe, including airports, hotels and railway stations throughout the UK, Germany, the Nordics and The Netherlands.
*Obviously, for future UK iPhone owners, such Wi-Fi service is gonna be "free" (included in monthly contract bill)... BUT for itouch owners, what do people think of this new service?*

It works outside pubs as well Not very far away - about the same as walking along the street and picking up signals from houses. Walked through Birmingham City Centre today (close to Bull Ring) having got my Touch out and watched a YouTube video walking along, moving from one hotspot to another - a bit stuttery as the signal dropped sometimes as TheCloud hot spots didn't overlap. But, at the pub, you are chatting to your mates and someone mentions something on YouTube so you whip out your Touch, press YouTube and everyone can have a look at it. Pretty smart.
I've been testing it out last few days and, now, it's all seamless. No log in, just have wifi switched on and if signal appears can just press safari, youtube or itunes and "boom" it works.

Lost connection with the cloud

Curious, if my StorSimple solution loses internet connection and cannot communicate with the cloud, what would the expected behavior be? Will my volumes go offline or will I still have use of my local data? What happens if a cloud snapshot is in progress?

The StorSimple device tiers old data from the local tiers to Azure. If the device loses connection with Azure, the data on the local disks is accessible to hosts. However, if a block of data which is present on the cloud is requested by the host,
the device retries getting the data. If the data cannot be retrieved within 4 minutes, the volume/lun will be put in an offline state. If the connection is established within the 4 minute period, the data is fetched from Azure and served to the
host.
If a cloud snapshot is in progress the job keeps trying to send the data to Azure and if there is a prolonged outage, the job will be cancelled after 4 hours.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.

That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

Do you want to get iPhoto for free, or are you looking for supplemental apps that are working well with iPhoto?
I do not know of any free third party replacement for iPhoto. For add-ons browse the Store - there are some nice camera apps, image editors, and panorama stitchers, some are free (cam wow, pic collage, Photo splash, pixlr-o-matic).

PLEASE! How to delete songs (album) bought, on my "iCloud"? These songs are even no visible on my library.. Only on my iPhone tracklist with the cloud on the right side. I don't arrive to delete

Hi,
I've got a little problem with my iTunes, because i've purchased some albums on iTunes Store before having my iPhone.
Then I have my iPhone and these songs were automaticly synchronized with my iPhone and they are not in my iTunes's library, but they are on my iPhone's tracklist with the "Cloud" on the right side of each song. The prob is that I want to delete them... And I can't because I don't know where are the songs..!
Can you help me please?

You can't delete them because they aren't on your phone. These are links to previously purchased songs that you can download from the iTunes store. Your previously purchased song list cannot be deleted. However, you can keep these from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

My calendar does not sync with the cloud properly.

Hello. I have just put in a weeks worth of events into my iPhone calendar and none of it has synched with the cloud and is not visible on any of my devices. Anybody any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere.

Have you logged into icloud on the iphone? Have you turned on Calendar in settings>icloud? Are you able to connect the iphone with other services on icloud, like contacts?

Why does only 1 of my 3 devices "associate" with the Cloud?

I understand that Apple's Cloud service for uploading will not be available til Fall. But I also infer that tracks purchased from iTunes can at the present instant be accessed from the new "Cloud" providing it's done with the newest version of iTunes (10.3) and with an iPod Touch 3th or 4th gen. or an iPad 1st or 2nd gen. However, when I connect my iPod 3, iPod 4, and iPad 1 to my computer with iTunes and go to my account, I'm told that only one--the iPod Touch 4th generation is "associated" with the Cloud. Is is possible to "associate" all 3 devices with the "Cloud"?
Several months ago I followed the directions on Apple's web page and changed my I. D. number to a different, all-purpose I.D. When I enter my old ID in my account, I'm told that I apparently have no device "associated" with the Cloud, so perhaps I should be grateful that at least my 8 gig iPod 4th generation is "associated" with the Cloud, provided I use my 2nd, newer I.D. Still iCloud becomes more puzzling the more I try to get all machines and devices in synch. Up to this point, the Amazon Cloud has been far easier to negotiate.

I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple. To quote: "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]" (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.") However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID." Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords. Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible. I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round. From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.

Can't create free PO with the material which material type is UNBW

When I create a free PO with the material which material type is UNBW , error happens as below:
Account assignment mandatory for material *** (enter acc. ***. cat.)
There is no provision for value-based inventory management for this material type in this plant. Account assignment is thus necessary.
But I use UNBW material type just because it's only QTY updating, and no value update.
So this PO should has no relationship to FI document and any GL account or cost center.
How can I create PO and GR for UNBW material in SAP system?
Please tell me the solution in detail, thanks!

Dear,
Same scenario i have done in SAP. when we create free P.O then condition tab is automatically remove from the item level.
But Cost Center and G/L account will compulsory. May be because of inventory. Inventory should affect the cost center and G/L account.

Sandip

My music is in the cloud, but it's also on my hard drive. Why does it all show with the cloud icon? Anyway to force the iTunes client to recognize that all of the music is already in my iTunes library folder?

Recently moved to a new PC. Upon installing iTunes, in the Settings dialogue, I've indicated where my iTunes library is stored. And yet, all of my albums in iTunes are showing up with the "cloud" icon, meaning that the client doesn't realize there is a local copy. Clicking the "cloud" icon ends up downloading a duplicate copy of the song/album.
Any suggestions for how to fix this...so that my iTunes client knows all of this music is on my hard drive (in addition to being in the cloud)?
Thanks!

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized.

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized. The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud. I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad. Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone.

IPhoto crashes with the Cloud

When I turn on Photo Stream in my iPhoto it crashes. Everything else works with the Cloud / my iPhone / my MacBook Pro except iPhoto. Do I just wait for Apple to send out updates to eliminate this problem?
This problem started when I connected to the Cloud. Everything else works fine.

I'm having a similar problem, and I only got my MacBook Pro yesterday! As a first time Mac user I don't really know where to start.
When I go into iPhoto, select Photo Stream and the pop up window asking if I would like to allow iCloud to access my photo stream comes up it freezes.
I have had to 'force close' both times I have tried, and have been a little scared to try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am currently using the adobe cloud service and would like to give my granddaughter my original lightroom and photoshop programs. Would do I need to do to remove them from my computer to hers? The lightroom 5 program has been replaced with the cloud version on my computer.

Follow the steps listed at Transfer an Adobe product license
Lightroom has no activation check so you don't need to do anything to your computer. Your old copy of Photoshop must be deactivated / uninstalled if you haven't already done so.
