How should a family use Ping?
Home sharing requires that everyone in the house use the same Apple ID, so the three of us share one ID. Ping is also based off of the Apple ID. Does only one of us get to use Ping, or is there a way I haven't seen to allow personalization per individual computer/person?
This is a major design flaw. Also, your ping name has to be the same as your account name, which has to be the same as your credit card name, thereby exposing part of your credit card info to the world.

How should I handle using this socket on multiple threads?
Hey there, I'm writing a SocketServer app to handle client communications and I've run into something I'm not sure how to handle. Currently, I have the main method create the SocketServer and start new threads whenever a client connects and keeps a list of clients that need to be updated with some info ("Stuff") (Basically a list, which when changed, each update will be sent to all clients on the list to be informed of updates). Each thread that's created when a new client connects is passed the instance of the 'PoolHandler' class, which is supposed to handle updates to the "Stuff" and send updates to any clients that need them. Currently, when a client adds itself to the list of users that need to be informed of updates on "Stuff", the thread that handles that client adds the client name and socket to a hashmap in 'PoolHandler' and anytime the "Stuff" is updated, 'PoolHandler' accesses the passed socket and sends the updates. I realize I'm probably not doing a very good job of explaining this, so I'll show my code:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final PoolHandler pool = new PoolHandler();
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
while (listening) {
new SNMultiServerThread(clients, pool, serverSocket.accept()).run();
public class SNMultiServerThread implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try {
out = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
in = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
try {
while ((read = in.read(input)) > 0) {
outputList = snp.process(input);
if (outputList != null && !outputList.isEmpty()) {
for (byte[] output : outputList) {
System.out.println("Transmitting: " +
new String(output, 0, output.length));
synchronized(socket) {
out.write(output);
out.flush();
} catch (SocketException e) {
public class PoolHandler {
public PoolHandler() {
private void updateClients(String update, String game, String team) throws IOException {
if (update.equalsIgnoreCase("add")) {
if (game.equalsIgnoreCase(CS)) {
clientUpdateListDummy = clientUpdateListCs;
} else {
// The HashMap here is K=String, V=Socket
for (Map.Entry<String, Socket> m : clientUpdateListDummy.entrySet()) {
try {
out = new BufferedOutputStream(m.getValue().getOutputStream());
out.write(snp.prepareOutput(ADD_TEAM_REPLY, team));
out.flush();
} catch (SocketException e) {
} else if (update.equalsIgnoreCase("remove")) {
if (game.equalsIgnoreCase(CS)) {
clientUpdateListDummy = clientUpdateListCs;
} else {
// The HashMap here is K=String, V=Socket
for (Map.Entry<String, Socket> m : clientUpdateListDummy.entrySet()) {
try {
out = new BufferedOutputStream(m.getValue().getOutputStream());
synchronized(m.getValue()) { // synchronizing on the socket connected to the client, m.getValue()
out.write(snp.prepareOutput(REMOVE_TEAM_REPLY, team));
out.flush();
} catch (SocketException e) {
}I attempted adding a synchronized block in the second for loop in PoolHandler, although i'm not sure if I need one at all or if that'll do the trick. The question, I guess, is should I be accessing the socket and then the outputstream for it from here (perhaps with the synchronized block that I added in the second for loop)? Or should I perhaps add a method in the Runnable class that transmits data via the socket and call that from PoolHandler? If I go with the second approach, can I simply pass the thread's name instead of the socket and use, say, m.getValue().transmitThisDataOverTheSocket(myData)? Thanks again, I hope this is clear. :)So I've got another question about my code: will the PoolHandler class be responsive if used in the main() thread or do I need to implement Runnable in it and create a new thread also? If so, how should I go about it since I don't want PoolHandler to do anything other than keep track of clients and a few other client-related variables? Here's my main():
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final PoolHandler pool = new PoolHandler();
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
boolean listening = true;
final int port = 4555;
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't listen on port: " + port);
System.exit(-1);
while (listening) {
new SNThreadReader(pool, serverSocket.accept()).run();
serverSocket.close();

HT2736 how can my family use the itunes gift online token I sent them from france TO the UK?
I live in France and my family in the UK. So what better (ha ha ha) than to send them all an itunes token for the new year?
Apparently, they can't use the tokens in the uk and I can't gat a refund. Nor can I change my account to the UK because my bank is in France.
What an utterly huge waste of my precious little time and money.
I am VERY dissappointed with apple/itunes and have received NO helpful information despite 3 emailes to customer support.
I am furious. I am disabled, jobless and living on the breadline. My money is extremely precious to me and I resent the greed and the total lack of support shown by APPLE. 20 pounds might not seem a lot but it is ALL I had to give my family and it means A LOT to me.
I also feel very very CHEATED by the impression that ITUNES are an international music buying service, when clearly they are not.
There was NO warning about this when I bought the tokens of on the GIFT token page.
and by the way, how many times does it take to sign in to apple on a daily basis? answer = too bloody many!You can't use those cards. Sorry.

HT204053 Should a family use one apple I'd?
Hello,
I think I want my family to use the cloud to share. Is it wise to use one apple ID for the entire family? Do you use separate accounts?Hmmmm.... how many people in your family? What ages? I would say it all depends. If you're a control freak definately go for one account.
You can always switch back and forth between identities. It isn't totally necessary to only use the one account. Depending on how focused everyone is and how personal their device is to them. My wife needs her Japanese iTunes account and we get along fine using both.
This is an interesting topic. Carry on.

How should I update using phone to 8.1.1
please provide solution
Hello TIMMANNA,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to update your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
iOS software updates introduce new features that let you do even more with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Be sure to keep your devices up to date so that you don't miss out on the latest features.
Before you update
Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
Update your device wirelessly
The easiest way to update your device is wirelessly, also called “over the air.” Here’s how:
Plug in your device to a power source.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Tap Download and Install. Updates might download automatically while your device is connected to Wi-Fi and a power source.
Tap Install, or tap Later to install the update later. If you use a passcode, you'll need to enter it before installing the update.
If you have some free space, but not enough to update over the air, you can either update using iTunes or delete content manually from your device. Whether you use iTunes or update over the air, you'll have the same amount of free space on your device after you update.
Some iOS software updates aren't available as over-the-air updates. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the iOS update servers.
Update your device using iTunes
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you don't have enough free space to update using iTunes, you'll need to delete content manually from your device.
Find out what to do if you get other error messages while updating your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?
I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?
How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices. Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?
Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

HT202213 We have 3 ipods in our family, should we all use the same apple id?
We have 3 ipods in our family (myself and my two teenage daughters), should we all use the same apple id? We want to be able to share our music, etc. but choose what we want. Please help.
I tried to read about home sharing, but it sounds like everyone has to have the same id.
One of my daughter's ipod keeps dumping all music and apps everytime I attach it to the computer to try to sync. I think it may be because I set hers up with my id. I am sure this is supposed to be simple, but I feel like I don't want to do something wrong. I appreciate your help.Create NEW account/ID for them using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on their devices but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
How should I set GPG to use with KMail or even rather Thunderbird?
In the last 3 hours I tried to set Thunderbird (Enigmail) and KMail to use my GPG key. I failed.
I made the keypairs with Kgpg, installed enigmail, restarted the Thunderbird, set everything, but TB didn't asked for password, only gave an error message that it can't use gpg in batch mode and the password is wrong:
gpg parancssor és kimenet:
/usr/bin/gpg
gpg: Probléma van az ügynökkel. Letiltom a használatát.
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: skipped "<my e-mail>": rossz jelszó
gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: rossz jelszó - its in Hungarian, it says: Problem with the agent. Disabling use. Wrong password. Try again.
I read a lot and all I found is that I have to disable the use of gpg-agent in Enigmail's settings, but it was alredy disabled, despite I got this message:
"Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool."
After many pages I gave up, it seems it cannot be solved.
So I tried KMail. But KMail didn't ask password, too. Google, searching. I found that I should install pinentry-qt. Well, pinentry is already installed and I have pinentry, pinentry-qt and pinentry-qt4, too. So I searched for another solution. Then I found that I should use gpg-agent (I used it already according to Thunderbird) and I have to write use-agent to .gnupg/gpg.conf. It was already there. Then I found that I have to make a file, .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf whit this content:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800
So I made it. After this I add the eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" to my .xinitrc, as it was written in many posts. I logged out and in. Still no luck.
The gpg-agent in terminal says:
gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available
I tried a test I found on forums: echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg. It says:
1024-bit RSA key, ID CFF2728D, created 2011-05-17 (main key ID CD35B00C)
gpg: problem with the agent -disabling agent use.
Then it asks the passphrase. I type it in, but then a message appears that I didn't have any public key.
I tried to disable gpg-agent, but didn't helped. Thunderbird said:
"can't connect to `/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent': Kapcsolat elutasítva
gpg: Nem tudok kapcsolódni "/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent" objektumhoz: connect failed" - connection refused. Can't connect to /tmp... object.
KMail simply says bad passphrase.
So. How can I use GPG? What should I do, how should I start? Is it possible at all? I just wanted to sign and encrypt e-mails. It seemed very easy.
ps.: all the installed softwares are up to dated. And sorry about the mistakes in my English, if any!Hi Melfour-
Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:

I want to use one apple id in my macbook and iPad but i don't want pics to get sync and show in both devices, how should i stop this ?
Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).
