HT201317 I want but don't have iCloud icon in control panel (internet). I have a MobileMe icon which I can't log into and I'm not sure if it is an old version of the same thing? Clicking on it directs me to a closed website which redirects me to iCloud.
I'm trying to set up photo stream on my PC so that photos automatically download and are saved on my harddrive but I cannot find an iCloud icon in the relevent section of the control panel. I do have a MobileMe icon but cannot log into it with my Apple logins and am not sure if it is the same thing anyway. Any advice how to get photo streaming set up?

Thanks. Unfortunately my system does not appear to be up to date enough. I am runnung on Windows XP not Vista (Vista was out when I got my computer but new so was recommended the old proven system). Is there any way of getting around this or no vista no iCloud?
Cheers, S
Install Vista or Windows 7. You will also need Office 2007 or 2010

my old emails and documents are not showing up in email or finder both from the same date and I cannot find them anywhere. I do not believe I have any archive settings on. Any idea how I get them to show up?

I'm working from a boat in a harbor in which the ISP has deployed numerous access points around the periphery. All the access points share the same SSID and each is configured to use either channel 1, 6 or 11. From my location, there are over a dozen of these access points "visible" (based on the the output of WiFi Scanner) with a range of RSSI and S/N values that vary over time.
The ISP has told me that the quality of my connection should be "perfectly fine" for any access point with an RSSI value better than -75, but I know from experience that my connection quality is miserable (i.e. < 50Kbps download) for almost all of these, including those with RSSI values better than -75. There is at least one exception, however, which gives me on the order of 2Mbps download, which is "great" in this context.
I've tried using a more powerful USB antenna plugged into my MacBook Air (mid 2011), but as far as I can tell, it really doesn't make much difference. Neither does my location within the boat. The overriding factor seems to be which access point I happen to connect up to.
I should point out that the closest access points are about 75 yards away, with many of them being several hundred yards away or more. I'm guessing that even though the signal strength of some of the distant access points is causing them to get "chosen" some times, the results are unacceptable due to the distance.
I'm hoping that I can determine, through experimentation, which access point(s) provide(s) acceptable performance and then configure my Mac to limit my connection to those points through whatever mechanism I need to use (e.g. channel, MAC id, etc.).Establishing a wireless connection with a client computer is left to the access point for various reasons. One reason that your Mac may not connect to the strongest access point is that it may have reached a limit of the number of clients it can serve, leaving it unable to accept a connection with another. The limit may not be very large.
Suppose that happens, and your Mac establishes a connection with a more distant access point having a weaker signal. Then, suppose a client drops off the network. Doesn't this mean your Mac will switch to the stronger access point? Not necessarily. The throughput delivered to and from your Mac would have to drop below a threshold specified in the AP for it to drop the client, leaving your Mac free to connect with another one. The reason for this is to prevent rapid switching from one AP to another in an area in which two signals are of approximately equal quality. If that were to occur the frequent and repetitive handshaking between the two devices would slow throughput to zero.
In an environment in which several access points are broadcasting the same SSID, Apple provides no insight as to how it determines which access point to choose. This is the reason I suspect this "choice" is a function of the router, or access point. The connection originates with it, not the Mac.
Now, what would solve your dilemma would be to determine a way to control the access point with which your Mac connects, by specifying the access point's unique MAC address for example. In this happy circumstance, you could maintain an editable "whitelist" or "blacklist" of the harbor's access points and be able to choose which among them you prefer.
I do not believe OS X maintains such a record of MAC addresses though, only those of the routers it uses. If I am correct about that, such a solution is unlikely to exist. Don't let that discourage you from searching for one though... I would concentrate on something like "selecting access point by specific MAC address".
I did find this patent application though:

I installed a trial version of the newest Tiffen DFX Photoshop CS4 plug-in, but then tried to install a full but older version of the plug-in directly from a CD. I deleted the plug-in from the applications folder, but now the old version won't install since it says I've got a newer version already installed. But now the trial version is no longer available as an option in Photoshop itself. Help!

… is there some sort of logging system where Photoshop denotes which plug-ins it has? Like some sort of simple text file or something? Just a thought, though I'm sure it's not in the right direction.
In Photoshop, go to the Help menu > System Info. You'll need to scroll down as needed, it's a mighty long list of stuff.
But I just got another thought: Would you happen to have a bootable clone or cloned backup connected to your machine? Maybe you have an installed copy of the plug-in on that machine. The installer would certainly detect it. Just another thought… -
I am new at posting here also, so pls forgive me in advance. My husband and I have been backing up our Macbook Pros to the same Time Capsule, should we not be doing this? If we should not, what would you recommend? I recently got the message that my drive was almost full and so I started to delete misc items from my downloads folder and I found a bunch of my husbands records that got downloaded to my Macbook, could this be because we both backed up to the TC? If it is not, do you have any ideas what may have caused this? THX

Horrible idea, youre building a 2X tragedy ready to bite BOTH of you.
Its bad enough for one person to do that, but 2X for two people to do same.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Data redundancy begins at...
1. All data on the computer is just that, your data.
2. All data on the first external HD is your backup.
3. Only the second external HD is your first safe data redundancy.
Protected data redundancy begins at the second external copy due to:
1. It not being connected. Any drive connected, backup or otherwise, is not to be considered a safe data redundancy.
2. Being the backup failsafe to the first external HD, not to the data on the computer which never should be counted in terms of data protection as "a copy".
3. External drives will invariably fail, and since most people falsely believe their external HD is their "safety", this error of perspective must be countered by yet another external copy of ones data.
Ones vital data must always be considered wholly independent and irrelevant of any data on the computer itself. Failure to look at one data in this matter is a failure which often can and does culminate in data loss. -
New versions not always work for all. Put in Your sites, '''CLEAR''' and '''of QUITE VISIBLE form''', a '''short cut''' for the '''old versions'''.
Please be aware that anything except Firefox 10.0 and Firefox 3.6.26 don't have the latest security fixes, and Mozilla really doesn't want any other version to be downloaded. That is why Mozilla doesn't provide links to download any other version.
You can get Firefox 3.6.26 from here: <br />

My company uses the prefix "Corp" for their Active Directory domain. The domain is Corp.Company1.com, so when I log into the computer I log into it as Corp\Username.
Here is the issue I am facing: I often take my laptop to another company site (Lets call them Company2) which has been acquired by Company1. When I plug my Company1.com computer into Company2's network and try to log in to Corp\Username, I get a username or
bad password error because it is trying to log into Corp.Company2.com instead of Corp.Company1.com.
I have a large number of users who are going to start working at Company2 sites but using Company1 computers. Until these domains are joined (I consider that a separate issue), what workarounds might I be able to use to allow users to log onto their laptops
without having to unplug from the Company2 network?have your users loging using the fqdn of the domain, that will probably work just fine (provided they can access these dc's or you allow cached logons).
[email protected] or corp.company1.com\username

User created but can't log into Portal. OID not in-sync with Repository.
Logged into Portal as portal
Go to Administ Tab
Created a group i.e. TestGroup
Created a user i.e. TestUser, put the user's default group as TestGroup.
I logged-out and and tried to log in as TestUser it doesn't let me log into Portal.
I do see the TestUser under TestGroup when going to Administer Tab and checking it, but some how can't log-in. I tried to use wwsec_api.user_in_groups to print the group names using SQL-Navigator but it never returns anything for the user I created above.
username := 'TestUser';
groupid := WWSEC_API.USER_IN_GROUPS(p_user_name=>username);
..........Now if if try the following and use portal it returns me all the groups the portal user is in i.e.
username := 'portal';
groupid := WWSEC_API.USER_IN_GROUPS(p_user_name=>username);
..........Looks like OID and repository are not in-sync. Can someone give some in-sight why is this happening and what can I do to fix this. I even tried adding the user under some other groups but still never returns me the groups when I run the above PL/SQL.
ThanksUnder Administer -> SSO/OID Tab I have Enable directory synchronization is checked. But still can't log in. Any ideas.
Thanks -
Add-on bar doesn't stay off when you turn it off. The browser doesn't remember when I turn it off. Removing the icons doesn't help, they aren't all removable
I do use the add on bar but only occasionally and would like to be able to control its appearance, this is happening in XP & Windows 7. Thanks

I've had this problem with earlier versions of Firefox. I am currently running the latest version which I think is 6.0.1. Firefox also is not responding a lot since the latest version update. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
I have a 36 page booklet (each page is 8x5.5in). I have exported the booklet from InDesign as Pages. In Acrobat, when I select Print Booklet and 11x17 paper, it created a large white gutter down the center and the pages do not back up to each other.
I tried the same thing with 8.5x11 paper and they pages backed up to each other correctly with no white space down the center.
I tried again at 11x17 (size needed to print my booklet full size), and it's still causing the large white gutter. It's nearly half an inch or larger.

my iOS remains the same as whats inside my iPhone I bought it 18months ago, which is version 4.2.1, I am told by an Apple shop that its too old to do a proper update, unless all my data will have to be erased !! is this true ? if so, how to get round it ? Chuck
Be sure to do a backup before updating as protection. Photos should
be synced with your computer, music should be in iTunes, documents
should be backed up on your computer as should contacts in whatever
program you use on your computer. You should already have backups
of your important information to prevent loss in case of theft, crash,
physical damage. The question is not if your hard drive will crash but
when, and you iPhone is not a backup device nor fit for the only
source of any document, picture, music, movie, contact or otherwise
irreplaceable information. -
i put in the code to get the digital copy for star trek into darkness, and i clicked download later, but it didn't show up in my movie library like the other movies i did the same thing to, where is my digital copy of star trek?
Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.
