Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

I'd like to know this to.
We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
She has a nice macbook ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
This iCloud seems not too suited.
For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

ICloud setup for Family to only share Apps

Okay, so I've tried reading through several different articles to figure this out but I'm not getting anywhere so I'm hoping there's somewhere here with a similiar setup that can just give the basic setup. So here's what I want to do, I want to be able to setup icloud on each of my families devices so they are backed up into their own accounts but I also want to make sure that App's are shared across the devices. Here's the setup that I have:
1. For Myself I have an iPhone and a iMac
2. My wife has an iPhone and a Macbook
3. My son has a iPad
Now right now everyone is linked up to my Apple ID since that's the account in which all the Apps are purchased and the billing information is linked up to. I want to setup each device with an icloud account as well so our informaiton can be backed up but I don't want information crossed over between devices (for example I don't want all the contacts from my wife's phone on my phone nor do I want our messages sharted on my son's iPad). I'm not sure on how I can go about this since right now each device is hooked up to my Apple ID (so we can use the Find my iPhone app as well for each device) so I don't know if I create a separate account for everyone if that will still work or if I need to know each login and password. I also want to setup a icloud e-mail account that I can use for the iMac and my iPhone only, and the same setup for my wife and her Macbook. Any help would be great, thanks.

To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID. You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address. However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map. You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.

New iCloud setup with Mac and iPhone

I just setup iCloud for both my Mac and iPhone and still my gmail does not update between the two. I used the setup for both as shown on the Apple site. I thought this was supposed to be easy. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?

I would have thought that the Apple products would deconflict the message traffic from the email accounts, via iCloud.
I'm afraid you thought wrong. Modern email accounts do not work like that. Email messages, and the status of those messages is stored on the email server. If you setup the same IMAP account on numerous devices, the email is stored on the server and each email client reads the status of the messages from the server. Keeping things "in sync" is a function of the email server, not the email client.
I was under the assumption they were innovative enough to think about using their own products to help users manage ALL email, through Mail and iCloud, on several devices.
Since Apple do not have control over Google's mail servers (or anyone else's, apart from their own), it is not technically possible for them to do what you are asking. Creating a whole new, Apple-only proprietary email protocol would not be innovative at all, when the IMAP email standard already exists and is used everywhere.
As already mentioned, if you want to keep a Google Mail account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Google provides for doing so i.e. their IMAP (or Exchange) email servers.
If you want to keep an Apple iCloud (@me.com) email account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Apple provides for doing so i.e the iCloud IMAP email server.
Same applies to Hotmail email accounts, or Yahoo! Email account. Email clients do not keep email in sync - the server does.

ICloud Setup on Mac post Mavericks upgrade results in endless do loop

iCloud Problems
So you open Internet Accounts - and delete from internet accounts [email protected] (can’t logout)
The dreaded account is gone……..
So now back to System preferences and into the iCloud icon to set User [kaiserja] as default iCloud account and cure the ills of the world.
You go back to internet accounts and get —
Ahhhh grasshopper, we have endless do loop here. Has wasted phenomenal amounts of time. Fortunately, gmail works so I can send and get mail, as do my iPhone, iPad and Exchange accounts. Think I’m going to need to switch personal mail to gmail after investing nearly 12 hours in attempting to set up an apple mail client in OSX Mavericks.
Is there a fix for this or is this just another open bug unresolved?

Rebuilding in this system, so when trying to sign in to iCloud to set up
Proper data entered and the window goes away but nothing happens
Conclude issue is with iCloud setup, so to system preferences and iCloud we go
From there we get sent to internet accounts, after clicking internet accounts, we see the screen below and delete the inactive [email protected]
(BTW have no idea what inactive means. account functions on iPhone, iPad and iCloud over safari)
After deleting the offending user account, we see
All gone so all should be golden, no? So returning to iCloud set up, we get
and opening Internet accounts and entering our apple id leads us back to here....
an obvious and not very helpful statement as I use this account on multiple devices, but just deleted it from here.
Ahhhh grasshopper, we have endless do loop here. Assuming it is keychain related, so I reset my login keychain. Lather, rinse, repeat just like shampoo instructions same errors over an over again.

IMAP setup for .Mac account and Gmail

I've been trying to use my .Mac account and Gmail with mixed results. I have been using Mac mail for some time and have my folder structure setup for personal and work. Now I want to add a work Gmail account and simply have a separate inbox for the Gmail account. I store messages from both accounts into the folders I have in the .Mac account.
Gmail caused all sort of issues using IMAP in this structure, basically creating another series of folders below the .Mac folder tree. The inbox structure was fine and I could stored Gmail messages into the .Mac folders. But there were duplicate copies of the messages in the Gmail IMAP structure. I wasn't sure if I should just delete the Gmail structure, but the duplicates were driving me crazy whenever I did a message search.
Now I've backed Gmail down to POP and I have all sort of sync problems between my laptop and desktop systems. On my laptop it shows no mail, but when I check Gmail. There is mail in my inbox.
Does anyone have an idea about how to use two IMAP accounts successfully in Apple Mail?

Okay. This has got to be a common issue. And I think I have it solved.
The secret is using an IMAP prefix of "IMAP" and then creatin labels of "IMAP/Foldername" on Gmail.
It's all generously explained on these links:
First setup IMAP on Google like this: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12814
Then follow the advice here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008041016554622

If I switch to iCloud, Outlook for Mac is not synchronizing with iCal and iCloud anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?

I normally use Outlook for Mac as the standard email and calendar programm. When I use the USB cable fro synchronising contacts and calendars with my iPhone 4s ther is not problem at all. iCal, Mail and Oulook for Mac are synchronising perfectly.
When I switch to iCloud, Oulook is completely empty and Calendar and Contacts are not synchronised anymore.
Is this a known problem, and is there a solution for it?

I have the same keyboard and do not have battery issues.
It may have something to do with using rechargeable batteries.
You can also try removing the keyboard then re-pairing it. Maybe a bad bluetooth connection is draining the battery.
System Preferences > Bluetooth > right-click (control-click) on the keyboard > Remove > Remove
Wait for it to show in the bluetooth list then Pair > enter the number sequence & return as displyed on the screen.

Bluetooth internet setup for mac using my blackberry pearl

I have a blackberry pearl with AT&T. I have it set up with my bluetooth for file sharing. I am trying to set up an internet connection with my phone through blue tooth. When I get to the final step I put down all the right information for the telephone and account name and password. I cant find the blackberry modem in my modem list though so I dont know which modem to use.
Please let me know if anyone has had this problem or has a pearl set up right.

I have certain internet pages that refuse to display correctly in Safari or Firefox. Is it possible to download Internet Explorer to my MacBook?
Two things about IE for Mac:
1. It does not use the same rendering engine as IE for Windows. IE for Mac's rendering engine is currently obsolete...on both platforms.
2. If your pages need to display with a feature like ActiveX which is Windows only, IE for Mac doesn't have that.
So even if you do get IE for Mac, it might not solve your problem. If the problem is related to the rendering engine or something like ActiveX, changing the UserAgent won't solve the problem either. Won't hurt to try, though.
The most reliable way to solve your problem is to run Windows on your Mac Book through Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion, or Parallels Desktop, and run Internet Explorer for Windows on that. I don't know if it's worth doing for one presentation, but if you do this all the time it might be worth it and if you have enough RAM. At least all you need for Boot Camp is a copy of Windows.

Itunes sharing with own icloud setup for family of 5

Hi, we currently have 4 iphones, 1 ipad, 3 ipods, and 1 pc all under one itunes account id. However, we are now running into storage problems and my daughter just go a macbook pro and leaving for college. So my question is how can we all still share purchased content but have our own storage? Is this possible and if so how do I go about setting this up? I don't want to set up a different itunes account for each person because my daughters often want the same songs and apps and I don't want to purchase them twice. Thanks in advance for any help!

To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID. You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

Dual Monitor setup for Mac Mini???

I just bought a VGA Y-cable and split my monitor signal to two monitors. Unfortunatley the same thing is displayed on both screens where as I was looking for an extension to my desktop.
I found this http://www.national-tech.com/catalog/dvisplitter.htm (the top one for $ 146)
I was wondering if I split the signal with a dvi splitter rather than a vga splitter if i could have a dual monitor setup with more screen space...
Thanks,

HT204053 iCloud setup

I used my gmail address (for some reason) when I downloaded iCloud and when I went to settings to set up iCloud it showed that it is not verified. I eventually managed to add my gmail address to my Apple account, but it still won't let me get past the notification that I should check my email. I've done this 10 times, and my gmail account has been verified. I even downloaded the paid version of iCloud using my primary email but it still shows my gmail account on setup and I can't get iCloud set up. Can somebody please assist?

HT204053 icloud email for kids?

How do i setup an email address for my daughters new ipad online, want to create an account before the iPad arrives?

An iCloud email address is created when the account is created on the device. The only way to created it ahead of time would be to delete the account from your device, create a new one on your device for her use, then delete the new account from your device (which will use one of the 3 iCloud accounts your can create on your device), sign back into your existing account and then sign into the new account on her iPad when it arrives. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches by just waiting and setting it up on her iPad when it arrives.

HT4918 iCloud setup for a computer on a server

I made the move to iCloud on my laptop and successfully synced my iPad, iPhone, & laptop. However, when attempting to do the same on my work computer, I've had some difficulties that even our IT people are struggling with finding a solution. I have a PC running Windows 7 and on it are a local account, on which iCloud/Control Panel worked fine but does not contain the rest of my work-related files. The same computer houses my user account on the work-related server ("ad server"). When attempting to sign in to the iCloud Control Panel to set up iCloud for that account, all I get for a response is the "thinking" icon that never goes away nor allows me to get into the actual setup. A previous conversation with Apple support suggested it was a server issue. However, when our IT person tried to logon to the same iCloud Control Panel on my "server account", he was able to do so successfully, bringing up the setup screen for iCloud. To me, that would argue against it being a server-related problem. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling a few times. He also tried a few other things that seemed to resolve similar issues with Dropbox for others but did not fix this problem. Any thoughts on what may be the problem and, hopefully, how I can fix it?

You have 2 options:
1) Ensure in all cases "store email on the server" is set. I suspect on one device it's not set.
2) (preferred IMO) On all devices, set option to bcc: yourself to true. This way you always get all the emails and can file them via IMAP, and they'll be everywhere (with mail headers which preserves sent date. "sent messages" often DOES NOT preserve the sent date)
