How is SMB working on Server 3? Any major reasons I shouldn't upgrade.

I got really badly stung upgrading to Lion Server and have had a pretty bad time with it in general. Especially SMB not working meaning no windows machines could see the server without running SMB up. How is the new version? Any major glitches? Has there been any patches yet? Shouldn't really have to ask these questions but don't have too much faith left in the server app!

Apart from setting 'Disable external references' to false, the other problem that is not addressed is referencing of the <?import:file?> URL/ Path. 
 
I have designed a main template that imports more than 10 "subtemplate". In my case, the "subtemplate" is just another template as it is not registered in Template Manager. 
 
The place where I have the import syntax: 
<?import:file:///u01/oracle/dev/10.1.3/xmlp/XMLP/Reports/ProjectA/SubPages/HeaderFooter.rtf?>
 
However, this is in development environment. Each time I need to move it to Production envrionment, i need to change the path to something like: 
<?import:file:///u01/oracle/prod/10.1.3/xmlp/XMLP/Reports/ProjectA/SubPages/HeaderFooter.rtf?>
 
 
Is there anyway I can use a relative path like: 
./Reports/ProjectA/SubPages/HeaderFooter.rtf?

How is Flash working on Lion? Any problems?

Hi Everyone,
I am in the market for MBA, now that Lion has arrived, but I heard some bad things about Flash (making the MBA hot, fans spinning high, cpu shooting up etc.)
How is everyone finding flash on their macs? Is it as bad as they say?
Thank you!

annoyance is all really.
to clarify, even though I do assume that it's the cpu that causes the heat, when i pull activity monitor, the quads have tons of room to spare (something in the neighborhood of 85% idle).

X1 Carbon integrated camera working but not showing any image after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Good afternoon, sundely after I upgraded Windows to version 8.1 64x my integrated camera stopped sending image to any program that uses it, the green light goes on but there is no image. Before worked just fine.I have tried to uninstal and install again camera drivers, installed Lenovo dependency package, etc....no solution.Please help?Thanks Sergio

I resolved my issue by going to device manager selected View then View Hidden Devices.
Expand System Devices
Found two IWD BUS devices and one had the yellow triangle. I uninstalled that item and restarted my Carbon X1 and the error was gone. The original working IWD BUS remains active.

Any reason I shouldn't upgrade to Quantum Gateway router?

This may sound like a dumb question, but I've been bitten before by upgrading software or equipment and missed some gotcha and ended up worse off.
Problem I want to solve is slow/weak internet (old home with thick lath and plaster walls, and lots of walls!).
What I have now is Router Westell A90-9100EM-10, 25/25 internet. Wireless devices include iphone 5/ipad and iPad mini (iPads support wireless N), Amazon FireTV and a wireless HP printer. Streaming music sometimes stutters, and I haven't yet tried to stream video (just got the FireTv yesterday). No game players here, and not likely more than streaming plus an iOS device working concurrently. (Probably tmi, but in case anything is relevant, wdik?)
I'm thinking moving to Quantum Gateway should improve things (noticed the other N capable router, but price not much less). Any reason I wouldn't want to do this? Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

try buying 1 or more old verizon on router/s on ebay and coax connect them where you have weak signal. After bridging it to your main router you will have a cheap extender in place with the added capability of 4 hard wired ports.

How does SMB 3 Multipath actualy work?

First of all, sorry if there is a better form to post this in, I didn't see a general networking or SMB forum.
I've been trying to find anything about how SMB 3 Multipath actually works at a networking level (OSI Layer 2, Layer 3). I can't find anything that actually talks about how it achieves multipathing once it's out of its exit interface. Even how it actually chooses
potential exit interfaces is still a mystery to me.
How does the MAC address forwarding work? Does it somehow dynamically learn the available MACs on the destination and split the load between them? If that's the case does it work over layer 3 subnets if there are two available routes? How does it learn about
multiple available paths and actually get the network equipment to use them? In other words if Server A and B have 4 NICs they have 4 MAC addresses or more, one or more IP addresses, teamed or not teamed. Layer 2 adjacency vs Layer 3. There are a lot of variables
that it has to work with. Is DNS involved at all? If my connection attempt is the server.domain.local DNS might have more than one IP address that server is reachable from but if I connect to 192.168.1.1 then I'm specifying an IP and DNS doesn't come into
play, does that affect SMB 3 Multipath?
I know SMB 3 works when in a team and not in a team, I've tried it. But if it is in an LACP team then once it leaves the server NIC it's up to the switch to forward that to the destination based on the hash, for a single flow in normal situations the switch
would pick the same interface but I get increased bandwidth so I know the switch is sending to both interfaces, so I assume there are multiple flows. That means something about the flows has to be different, I assume the destination MACs, but I haven't put
a packet capture to look...yet...
Does anyone know of any papers or details that talk about these issues they can point me to? Every blog post or video I've seen is super generic about how it actually works. It's not magic.

Hi,
With Multichannel, SMB will create multiple TCP/IP connections for that single session (at least one per interface or more if they are RSS-capable). This allows SMB to use
the combined NIC bandwidth available and makes it possible for the SMB client to continue to work uninterrupted if a NIC fails.
Although a team always provides fault tolerance, SMB without Multichannel will create only one TCP/IP connection per team, leading to limitations in both the number of CPU
cores engaged and the use of the full team bandwidth.

How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.

I recently installed a fresh version of Lion Server after attempting to fix a broken upgrade. With some help from others, I've managed to get all the new features working and have kept notes, having found that many or most of the necessary installation steps for both the OS and its services are almost entirely undocumented. When you get them working, they work great, but the entire process is very fragile, with simple setup steps causing breaks or even malicious behaviors. In case this is useful to others, here are my notes.
Start with an erased, virgin, single guid partitioned drive. Not an upgrade. Not simply a repartitioned drive. Erased. Clean. Anything else can and probably will break the Lion Server install, as I discovered myself more than once. Before erasing my drive, I already had Lion and made a Lion install DVD from instructions widely available on the web. I suppose you could also boot into the Lion recovery partition and use disk utility to erase the OS X partition then install a new partition, but I cut a DVD. The bottom line is to erase any old OS partitions. And of course to have multiple, independent backups: I use both Time Machine with a modified StdExclusions.plist and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Also, if you will be running your own personal cloud, you will want to know your domain name ahead of time, as this will be propagated everywhere throughout server, and changing anything related to SSL on Lion Server is a nightmare that I haven't figured out. If you don't yet have a domain name, go drop ten dollars at namecheap.com or wherever and reserve one before you start. Soemday someone will document how to change this stuff without breaking Lion Server, but we're not there yet. I'll assume the top-level domain name "domain.com" here.
Given good backups, a Lion Install DVD (or Recovery Partition), and a domain name, here are the steps, apparently all of which must be more-or-less strictly followed in this order.
DVD>Disk Utility>Erase Disk [or Recovery Partition>Disk Utility>Erase Partition]
DVD>Install Lion
Reboot, hopefully Lion install kicks in
Update, update, update Lion (NOT Lion Server yet) until no more updates
System Preferences>Network>Static IP on the LAN (say 10.0.1.2) and Computer name ("server" is a good standbye)
Terminal>$ sudo scutil --set HostName server.domain.com
App Store>Install Lion Server and run through the Setup
Download install Server Admin Tools, then update, update, update until no more updates
Server Admin>DNS>Zones [IF THIS WASN'T AUTOMAGICALLY CREATED (mine wasn't): Add zone domain.com with Nameserver "server.domain.com." (that's a FQDN terminated with a period) and a Mail Exchanger (MX record) "server.domain.com." with priority 10. Add Record>Add Machine (A record) server.domain.com pointing to the server's static IP. You can add fancier DNS aliases and a simpler MX record below after you get through the crucial steps.]
System Prefs>Network>Advanced>Set your DNS server to 127.0.0.1
A few DNS set-up steps and these most important steps:
A. Check that the Unix command "hostname" returns the correct hostname and you can see this hostname in Server.app>Hardware>Network
B. Check that DNS works: the unix commands "host server.domain.com" and "host 10.0.1.2" (assuming that that's your static IP) should point to each other. Do not proceed until DNS works.
C. Get Apple Push Notification Services CA via Server.app>Hardware>Settings><Click toggle, Edit... get a new cert ...>
D. Server.app>Profile Manager>Configure... [Magic script should create OD Master, signed SSL cert]
E. Server.app>Hardware>Settings>SSL Certificate> [Check to make sure it's set to the one just created]
F. Using Server.app, turn on the web, then Server.app>Profile Manager> [Click on hyperlink to get to web page, e.g. server.domain.com/profilemanager] Upper RHS pull-down, install Trust Profile
G. Keychain Access>System>Certificates [Find the automatically generated cert "Domain", the one that is a "Root certificate authority", Highlight and Export as .cer, email to all iOS devices, and click on the authority on the device. It should be entered as a trusted CA on all iOS devices. While you're at it, highlight and Export... as a .cer the certificate "IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1", which is listed an an "Intermediate CA" -- you will use this to establish secure SSL connections with remote browsers hitting your server.]
H. iOS on LAN: browse to server.domain.com/mydevices> [click on LHS Install trust cert, then RHS Enroll device.
I. Test from web browser server.domain.com/mydevices: Lock Device to test
J. ??? Profit
12. Server Admin>DNS>Zones> Add convenient DNS alias records if necessary, e.g., mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, www.domain.com. If you want to refer to your box using the convenient shorthand "domain.com", you must enter the A record (NOT alias) "domain.com." FQDN pointing to the server's fixed IP. You can also enter the convenient short MX record "domain.com." with priority 11. This will all work on the LAN -- all these settings must be mirrored on the outside internet using the service from which you registered domain.com.
You are now ready to begin turning on your services. Here are a few important details and gotchas setting up cloud services.
Firewall
Server Admin>Firewall>Services> Open up all ports needed by whichever services you want to run and set up your router (assuming that your server sits behind a router) to port forward these ports to your router's LAN IP. This is most a straightforward exercise in grepping for the correct ports on this page, but there are several jaw-droppingly undocumented omissions of crucial ports for Push Services and Device Enrollment. If you want to enroll your iOS devices, make sure port 1640 is open. If you want Push Notifications to work (you do), then ports 2195, 2196, 5218, and 5223 must be open. The Unix commands "lsof -i :5218" and "nmap -p 5218 server.domain.com" (nmap available from Macports after installing Xcode from the App Store) help show which ports are open.
SSH
Do this with strong security. Server.app to turn on remote logins (open port 22), but edit /etc/sshd_config to turn off root and password logins.
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
I'm note sure if toggling the Allow remote logins will load this config file or, run "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist ; sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist" to restart the server's ssh daemon.
Then use ssh-keygen on remote client to generate public/private keys that can be used to remotely login to the server.
client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C client_name
[Securely copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from client to server.]
server$ cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
I also like DenyHosts, which emails detected ssh attacks to [email protected]. It's amazing how many ssh attacks there are on any open port 22. Not really an added security feature if you've turned off password logins, but good to monitor. Here's a Lion Server diff for the config file /usr/share/denyhosts:
$ diff denyhosts.cfg-dist denyhosts.cfg
12c12

Network Accounts
User Server.app to create your network accounts; do not use Workgroup Manager. If you use Workgroup Manager, as I did, then your accounts will not have email addresses specified and iCal Server WILL NOT COMPLETELY WORK. Well, at least collaboration through network accounts will be handled clunkily through email, not automatically as they should. If you create a network account using Workgroup Manager, then edit that account using Server.app to specify the email to which iCal invitations may be sent. Server.app doesn't say anything about this, but that's one thing that email address entry is used for. This still isn't quite solid on Lion Server, as my Open Directory logs on a freshly installed Lion Server are filled with errors that read:
2011-12-12 15:05:52.425 EST - Module: SystemCache - Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Kerberos':
 User 'uname' (/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) - ID 1031 - UUID 98B4DF30-09CF-42F1-6C31-9D55FE4A0812 - SID S-0-8-83-8930552043-0845248631-7065481045-9092
Oh well.
Email
Email aliases are handled with the file /private/etc/postfix/aliases. Do something like this
root: myname
admin: myname
sysadmin: myname
certadmin: myname
webmaster: myname
my_alternate: myname
Then run "sudo newaliases". If your ISP is Comcast or some other large provider, you probably must proxy your outgoing mail through their SMTP servers to avoid being blocked as a spammer (a lot of SMTP servers will block email from Comcast/whatever IP addresses that isn't sent by Comcast). Use Server.app>Mail to enter your account information. Even then, the Lion Server default setup may fail using this proxy. I had to do this with the file /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:
cd /etc/postfix
sudo cp ./main.cf ./main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
sudo echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
sudo serveradmin stop mail
sudo serveradmin start mail
Finally, make sure that you're running a blacklisting srevice yourself! Server Admin>Mail>Filter> Use spamhaus.org as a blacklister. Finally, set up mail to use strong Kerberos/MD5 settings under on Server Admin>Mail>Advanced. Turn off password and clear logins. The settings should be set to "Use" your SSL cert, NOT "Require". "Require" consistently breaks things for me.
If you already installed the server's Trust Certificate as described above (and opened up the correct ports), email to your account should be pushed out to all clients.
iCal Server
Server.app>Calendar>Turn ON and Allow Email Invitations, Edit... . Whatever you do, do NOT enter your own email account information in this GUI. You must enter the account information for local user com.apple.calendarserver, and the password for this account, which is stored in the System keychain: Keychain Access>System> Item com.apple.servermgr_calendar. Double-click and Show Password, copy and paste into Server.app dialog. This is all described in depth here. If you enter your own account information here (DO NOT!), the iCal Server will delete all Emails in your Inbox just as soon as it reads them, exactly like it works for user com.apple.calendarserver. Believe me, you don't want to discover this "feature", which I expect will be more tightly controlled in some future update.
Web
The functionality of Server.app's Web management is pretty limited and awful, but a few changes to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf will give you a pretty capable and flexible web server, just one that you must manage by hand. Here's a diff for httpd.conf:
$ diff httpd.conf.default httpd.conf

I did "sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/mydomain" and add specific config files for various web pages to host. For example, here's a config file that will host the entire contents of an EyeTV DVR, all password controlled with htdigest ("htdigest ~uname/.htdigest EyeTV uname"). Browsing to https://server.domain.com/eyetv points to /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV, in which there's an index.php script that can read and display the EyeTV archive at https://server.domain.com/eyetv_archive. If you want Apache username accounts with twiddles as in https://server.domain.com/~uname, specify "UserDir Sites" in the configuration file.
Alias /eyetv /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV
<Directory "/Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV">
 AuthType Digest
 AuthName "EyeTV"
 AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
 AuthGroupFile /dev/null
 Require user uname

 AuthName "EyeTV"
 AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
 AuthGroupFile /dev/null
 Require user uname

I think you can turn Web off/on in Server.app to relaunch apached, or simply "sudo apachectl -D WEBSERVICE_ON -D MACOSXSERVER -k restart".
Securely copy to all desired remote clients the file IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1.cer, which you exported from System Keychain above. Add this certificate to your remote keychain and trust it, allowing secure connections between remote clients and your server. Also on remote clients: Firefox>Advanced>Encryption>View Certificates>Authorities>Import...> Import this certificate into your browser. Now there should be a secure connection to https://server.domain.com without any SSL warnings.
One caveat is that there should be a nice way to establish secure SSL to https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com, but the automagically created SSL certificate only knows about server.domain.com. I attempted to follow this advice when I originally created the cert and add these additional domains (under "Subject Alternate Name Extension"), but the cert creation UI failed when I did this, so I just gave up. I hope that by the time these certs expire, someone posts some documentation on how to manage and change Lion Server SSL scripts AFTER the server has been promoted to an Open Directory Master. In the meantime, it would be much appreciated if anyone can post either how to add these additional domain names to the existing cert, or generate and/or sign a cert with a self-created Keychain Access root certificate authority. In my experience, any attempt to mess with the SSL certs automatically generated just breaks Lion Server.
Finally, if you don't want a little Apple logo as your web page icon, create your own 16×16 PNG and copy it to the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/favicon.ico. And request that all web-crawling robots go away with the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/robots.txt:

Misc
VNC easily works with iOS devices -- use a good passphrase. Edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist and set "listen_addresses=127.0.0.1" to allow PostgreSQL connections over localhost. I've also downloaded snort/base/swatch to build an intrusion detection system, and used Macports's squid+privoxy to build a privacy-enhanced ad-blocking proxy server.

Privacy Enhancing Filtering Proxy and SSH Tunnel
Lion Server comes with its own web proxy, but chaining Squid and Privoxy together provides a capable and effective web proxy that can block ads and malicious scripts, and conceal information used to track you around the web. I've posted a simple way to build and use a privacy enhancing web proxy here. While you're at it, configure your OS and browsers to block Adobe Flash cookies and block Flash access to your camera, microphone, and peer networks. Read this WSJ article series to understand how this impacts your privacy. If you configure it to allow use for anyone on your LAN, be sure to open up ports 3128, 8118, and 8123 on your firewall.
If you've set up ssh and/or VPN as above, you can securely tunnel in to your proxy from anywhere. The syntax for ssh tunnels is a little obscure, so I wrote a little ssh tunnel script with a simpler flexible syntax. This script also allows secure tunnels to other services like VNC (port 5900). If you save this to a file ./ssht (and chmod a+x ./ssht), example syntax to establish an ssh tunnel through localhost:8080 (or, e.g., localhost:5901 for secure VNC Screen Sharing connects) looks like:
$ ./ssht 8080:[email protected]:3128
$ ./ssht 8080:alice@:
$ ./ssht 8080:
$ ./ssht 8018::8123
$ ./ssht 5901::5900 [Use the address localhost:5901 for secure VNC connects using OS X's Screen Sharing or Chicken of the VNC (sudo port install cotvnc)]

Can't get any video driver working (X-Server)

Hi everybody (and thx for reading this),
I'm about to install Arch Linux 64 Bit on a new machine, an Acer Aspire 8935G. I installed Arch Linux on several plattforms over the last months with help from the brilliant Wiki-Guide. Unfortunatley I can't figure out how to get the X-Server running this time, so I need a little (???) help here to point me in the right direction.
System is up and running. Graphic Card is a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (and an Mobile Intel GM45). What I did so far was installing the radeonhd driver first (and later others, because radeonhd wouldn't work) and configure X with:
# Xorg - configure
Which resulted in a message of the X Protocol:
List of video drivers:
radeonhd
intel
ati
radeon
fbdev
vesa
after that I installed and ran HAL, to avoid problems with input hotplugging.
Finally, to test the configuration:
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
(EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomGetDDCIndex: GPIO_DDC Index 5 exceeds maximum 5
(EE) RADEONHD(0): AtomBIOS returned 3 Grey Levels
(EE) RADEONHD(0): AtomBIOS returned 3 Grey Levels
(EE) RADEONHD(0): rhdAtomLvdsDDC: unknown record type: c
(EE) RADEONHD(0): ParseTable said: CD_INVALID_OPCODE
(EE) RADEONHD(0): atomSetBacklightFromBIOSScratch: rhtAtomDigTransmitterControl(atomTransEnable) failed.
^C
Playing around with vesa, intel and fbdev didn't bring me any further. Vesa and Intel led to a black screen without responding keys (hard reset is necessary every time) and FBDEV led to a error message:
Primary device is not PCI
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
Maybe it's an issue with the integrated full hd monitor, because of the DDC-Message, but googling around didn't help for the moment. The hardware works with Linux, Mandriva 32-bit-Image ran out of the box with X-Server and KDE 4.2. But I would prefer an Installation of Arch Linux with the software, I really need and want.
I will try to add the xorg.conf later on as I'm writing this on an other machine.
Thx in advance for the help!
EDIT (xorg.conf):

Yes, I know. I also tried to get it working without an preconfigured xorg.conf. You know it... yeah... results in a black screen ;-).
zenlord wrote:And are you using the latest software? I installed Debian stable on a G45-chipset with intel graphics last week and I had to use at least the 2.6.2-driver IIRC, or upon loading the (old) driver, the DVI-port was disconnected and I was left with a black screen, but otherwise working install
Yesterday, I experimented with the Intel driver, because I found out that Mandriva also uses them, not fglrx like I thought. First I tried the xf86-video-intel. Have given me the typical X-Server feeling at start, probing the monitor I guess, than the backlight of the screen is on but the screen itself stays black. Fells like it's working, just the monitor is not respondig. Tried 1001 different screen settings, but the problem can't get solved. The same phenomenon can be experienced when usen the latest Intel-Git-Drivers from AUR. Last message of Xorg was: Setting up DRM Master or something like that. I will go and check it tonight again and report back.

How to determine is it SMB - Remote SAM server access , false positive?

How to determine is it SMB - Remote SAM server access , false positive?

5583-0 right?
I would say that there are different types of false positives. Do you mean, how do I determine if what what was seen actually represents an attempt to access the SAM database? I would start by looking at MySDN (or whatever Cisco is calling it these days...intellishield?). It's often not very up to date and missing information, but it's an easy thing to check. Here's the link for this sig:
https://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/ipsSignature?signatureId=5583&signatureSubId=0
If you look at the benign triggers, you'll see that it suggests that this only matters if the source is external. It's up to you whether to research any further. If you really want to inspect the signature further, you'll have to add one of the "log packets" actions. This will save a network trace when it fires again and then you can open it up in Wireshark, which understands SMB and will probably decode it enough for you to verify whether it actually was an attempt to access the "Remote SAM server".

TS1702 Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad,the Mac is working and wifi is on and the Ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open because it could not connect to the server, does any one know what have happened?

Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

How can I work without a keyboard on a touch based station in windows multipoint server?

I am using Windows Multipoint Server 2012 Premium evaluation version. How can I work on a station, with integrated touch feature, without a keyboard?
In the beginning itself the station is stuck at "Creating a multipoint server station. Press 'C'". Now, since I a want all interactions on this station to be touch based, I have not provided any keyboard to press 'C' there. How can I login and
operate this station?
Thanks in advance.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.

Having been in IT for close to 30 years what they actually thought was, "whether you can connect your phone to our network isn't out problem, please go away".
They don't want to troubleshoot it. And, honestly, if it's your personal phone, they shouldn't have to. it's not their problem unless their boss says it is.

How is SMB working on Server 3? Any major reasons I shouldn't upgrade.
