HT1495 What do I do if none of my devices are being properly detected by iTunes when using multiple libraries (mostly via wifi sync)?

Have a Windows 7 machine with terabytes of HDD space and 8 Gigs RAM. Two iTunes libraries (mine and my wife's with about 10% file overlap). Two iPhone 5s (iOS 6.0.2), 1 iPad 2 (iOS 6.0.1), 1 iPad 3 (iOS 5.1.1), and a jailbroken iPhone 3GS 32 GB that we've converted to an iPod essentially (iOS 3. something--not willing to update given the historically bad performance of the new iOS on the 3GS). Running iTunes 10 (also not willing to update to 11 after reading reviews).
I get multiple errors in both libraries with lots of popup boxes saying devices cannot connect, be properly identified, or sync, etc. Disconnecting and reconnecting via cable is marginally better (more so with the 3GS less with the iPads).
I'd like to be able to link certain devices to certain libaries (i.e. my iPhone5 and iPad3 with my library and my wife's iPhone5, iPad2, iPhone 3GS with her library). Instead it seems the wrong devices always show up or none at all.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. I have a moderately high level of tech expertise, so if there are scripts or hacks to be written/run I wouldn't be shy about trying them. Also would consider an iTunes alternative given that Apple isn't interested in supporting users with massive music libraries who need powerful databases as opposed to the dumbed down stuff they are trying to push in 11.
Thanks!
PS also my home sharing doesn't work at all on any device, but that seems to be Apple standard

Latest problem now with iTunes is that I can't connect to the iTunes store or update art work. Freezes up. Clearly they nerfed old iTunes to make us upgrade to an inferior version. So frustrating.

Non CISCO unknown devices are being discovered in LMS

Hi!
I have had no problem with discovery which was used on cdp basis so far.
Now the CDP packets do not arrive via new MPLS backbone network. I have to use the "ping sweep feature in IP range" feature. I had to enter more than 400 subnet from file before there are more than 400 branches. ( etc. 10.31-9.1-50.252 255.255.255.252 )
I have experienced two problems
1. The discovery never end ( now this is not important ) :-)
2. The common services -- device management shows discovered unknown devices whose ip addresses out side the range what are entered by me in the ping sweep range and theirs OID is not CISCO.
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.2001.1.1.1.1 , 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.1 , 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.2 , 1.3.6.1.4.1.18334.1.1.1.2.1.7.1.2 and even more )
Due to more than 300 unknown devices the LMS device number is beyond the license number!!!!!
Our questions.
Why does lms add the unknown devices ( non cisco devices ) to the inventory ?
How could lms discover these devices ??? ) ( theirs IP are out of ping sweep range and non cdp capable devices )
Thanks in advance!

Thank you!
The unknown devices were in unreachable state and they were added to DCR.
I don't use include or exclude filter what were referred by bug.
In spite of i use seed device list from file the LMS ping sweep debug log shows that LMS try to ping other IP addresses!!!!
You're right, it is not normally operation may be TAC will be needed to solve it.
( whether who tested it ?)

None of my devices are being recognised in Itunes (windows)

I'm having a real issue with Itunes and it's driving me nuts.
I'm trying to connect an iPad and a iPod Nano to my PC, but iTunes isn't recognising it. I've completely reinstalled itunes, by following the steps on the Apple website, but still the issue persists.
When connecting the iPad it shows up correctly in Windows Explorer, but nothing shows up in iTunes
When connecting the iPod Nano it shows up in Explorer and iTunes shows a message saying that the iPod isn't connecting, and then disconnects the Nano automatically from my PC.
I would really appreciate some guidance in resolving this problem

I've tried those articles but nothing's helped.
There definitely seems to be an issue with my PC, rather then the hardware.
It's extremely odd, because whilst the device is connected to my computer (without apple helper running in the background), it shows up fine on Windows explorer. But as soon as I start iTunes, it 'disconnects' the ipod from my PC and shows up with the error message.
I've also tried looking for the 'ipod' device in 'Device Manager', but it doesn't seem to show up there.

What program can search old typewriter documents (1980) which are being scanned as PDF?

What program can search old typewriter documents (1980) which are being scanned into PDF's?

Scanned documents are just images, but using OCR on them will turn them into text documents. Adobe Acrobat Pro can do that. After saving the OCR-ed document, it will be searchable by any PDF viewer.

Find my iPhone has reset and none of my devices are listed; is this because I have an old Iphone4? And can I set all my devices back up again? And how do I set my devices back up?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

What's going on? None of my forms are functioning.

The first page will show but selecting "Next" does nothing. Testing does the same thing or gives a javascript error.

I can't get the javascript error to replicate. It happened with
Testing and only if I put something in the fields.
Selecting "Next" does nothing in the embedded form or in Testing.
Machine 1
Macbook Pro - Intel

Firefox
Machine 2

but same problemo in Safari & Firefox with form embedded
This is freaking me out.

HT4929 Should I move to icloud if none of my devices are compatible?

I have a macmini and a macbook air both with 2GB ram running snow leopard, an iphone 3G running iOS4.2.1 and and an original ipad.
I was a .mac member and a mobileme member.
I stopped using mobileme to sync contacts and calendars because for some reason my contacts and calendars were corrupted and would never sync properly. So I was basically only using mail.
I signed up to keep my mail.
I used gallery and web.me - which I know are going away. I downloaded everything but and it will be painful for me when everything is deleted.
QUESTIONS:
Do I need to move to iCloud? Is there any benefit for me?
If I upgrade my macOS to Lion or get a new iPhone after June 30th, will I be able to use iCloud with my current email address?
Afraid to upgrade...
- I don't want to upgrade macmini and macbook air from snow leopard ot Lion right now because I heard that both my machines may need more than 2GM ram to run smoothly.
- I don't want to upgrade from iPhoto 8.12 to iPhoto 11 because I heard people don't like it and it's slow with only 2GM ram.
- I don't want to my original iPad to iOS5 because I heard that some people's got 'bricked'?
- I cant' upgrade my iPhone 3G
QUESTION: Should I upgrade my OS and iPhoto? It seems like I only read bad things, not positive things which is very paralyzing.
Afraid to trust Apple with my data... Every time I commit to putting my data in an apple service, the service is ended and my data is deleted. homepage.mac, gallery, web.me, corrupted contact lists, etc... Other companies care about the data and help customers move their data.
I don't want to buy all new hardware and software with the promise that Apple will take care of my data. They didn't when I was paying for mobileme. Will they care about my data if it's a free service in iCloud? I've been an Apple customer since 1991, and have owned dozens of apple products and even worked at Apple. July 1, 2012 I will be very sad when my data... photos and websites will be deleted like they are nothing. Everything Apple helps you create and collect is treated as if it has no significance.

If you have moved your current MobileMe email address to iCloud in order to keep using it after today, then you have already "moved" to iCloud - you just havent moved everything and are not using all the features.
At anytime in the future, when you get compatible hardware and software you can start using the rest of iCloud with your current account.
No company can guarantee that they or their services will be around forever. Apple have stated publicly that iCloud is central to their business for the next decade or more.
- RAM is cheap and your machines and software will always benefit from having more RAM.
- Like anything in life, some people like iPhoto, some don't. Maybe you should make up your own mind?
- What about the 99.999% of people whose iPads didn't get bricked updating to iOS5? People get killed everyday crossing the street - doesn't stop you doing it though, does it?
You should never trust any single company with your data - regardless of who it is. That's why backups were invented.
Apple have given over a years notice of the end of MobileMe (much longer than any other company has ever given of thE closure of other services, that I recall). They also automatically handle the migration to iCloud, and provide lots of detailed support articles for backing up and moving your stuff. What more do you want? Them to come round personally and do it for you?

None of Blue tooth devices are being detected by my iPad

My iPad won't detect any bluetooth device. It keeps on looking and looking but will not detecte while the same device will be detected by my iPhone 4 and iPhone3.
I have tried 3 Hands free blue tooth devices but none is being detected. iPad won't even detect the iPhone 4 sitting next to it.

Many headsets use the Hands Free Profile (HFP) which is not supported by the iPad but is supported by the iPhone. On the iPad you can connect to devices that uses the A@DP profile which support stereo headphones and some headsets and speakers, keyboards via the HID profiles and some other devises for gaming. See the following for supported profiles:

Non-Present Hidden Devices are Shown Automatically. No Need for DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES Anymore

Hello,
I noticed that non-present devices that were previously used on the computer to which Device Manager snap-in is connected to are currently shown automatically should you choose
Shown hidden devices item in the View menu without you have to set the DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES environment variable system-wide and initialize in to 1 (one) as it was previously suggested in the well-known
Device Manager does not display devices that are not connected to the Windows XP-based computer
KB 315539 article.
Is it correct?
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hello,
Yes that is correct, you should not need the environment variable any longer

That is absolutely incorrect.
Show Hidden Devices=devices that are part of a setup class that is marked as a NoDisplayClass in the registry.
DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 means devices that were physically removed from the computer but whose registry entries were not deleted. Get the difference?
"Show hidden devices" option is there since Windows 2000 and has nothing to do with the DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES environment variable. Just because MS screwed up and deleting this functionality, they conclude, "There is no need for it any more" and
continue justifying their abuse of feature deletion in their software. There was a need to see "Non Plug and Play Devices" when any software driver (AV filter driver or any other software driver) installed on the system got corrupt or needed to be
uninstalled manually or when its uninstaller didn't remove it properly.
I am shocked anyone from Microsoft can behave this way. "There is no need". Hey, speak for yourself!!!!! Don't speak for your users when you've just deleted functionality.

What are SERIALLY_REUSABLE and RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragmas and when used?

Hi everyone,
I have recently joined in Discussion forums and My question is about SERIALLY_REUSABLE and RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragmas.
what are these pragmas and when can we use them? please give me practical example as I have understood them
in Oracle documentation but not able to use practically.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me.
Regards,
Sachin Jaiswal

SERIALLY_REUSABLE : This pragama indicates that, the package states are stored only for the block it is executing. Means teh package states are not stored for the session. In this way the constants defined in the package wont be available for the whole session.
RESTRICT_REFERENCES: This pragma is to check, packaged functions have the expected purity during compilation itself. For example, if you want to assert that a packaged function wont do any db writes, you can use as below.
create package p1 is ..
function test_fn return number;
pragma restrict_references(test_fn,wnds)
end p1;

What are the possible LdapException.ErrorCode values when using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols?

When making Ldap calls using the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols Namespace classes and a request generates an LdapException the ErrorCode property contains a numeric value describing the error. However, I cannot find any documentation describing what
the possible error codes are and what they mean. Is this documented somewhere?
Thank you.
-Dave Herrmann

That should be the error code returned by the ldap_* native functions:

HT1476 Hi I have an iphone 4 and have a number of car chargers which until recently all chared the phone ok, none now work but are ok with other makes of phone (using different USB leads).

All car chargers have recently stopped working, chargers are ok and various leads tried so can oly assume its something to do with the phone, any ideas please?

There is no iDevice limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. iTunes creates and maintains a backup for each device, and each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes - the same as another device synced with iTunes on the same computer, or completely or somewhat different, etc.
Every new iPhone model released since the original iPhone was released has been better in some or a number of aspects. It will probably be the same with the next iPhone model released - a safe bet to count on it to some extent at least, but what that is will be is anyone's guess at this point until Apple makes an announcement.

TS1363 My 5th Gen ipod is not recognised now on my itunes when i plug it in via usb, what should i do having tried all the troubleshooting advice? It works ok on another laptop.

Tried TS1 363 still not recognised.

Your USB ports do not supply enough power to charge the iPad. That is normal and expected behavior. The iPod does not require nearly the same amount of power to recharge so it will work from your computer. Use the power adapter and plug into a wall socket to charge the iPad.
Are you sure that iTunes doesn't see the iPad? If you are running iTunes 11, from the menu at the top go to View>Show Sidebar. After the sidebar is enabled - do you see the iPad under the Devices heading in the sidebar?
