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)

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.

Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
*What I've tried and the issues...*
At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
SMB doesn't work.
Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
*What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
Thanks much.

Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server

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.

Specific Setup for My Computer?

Howdy all,
I've been reading all sorts of recommendations on how to setup your scratch disks in premiere and all I seem to find is a bunch of varying opinions from what seems to be very knowledgeable sources. It seems that scratch disk setup is somewhat dependable on your specific system.
So I was hoping I could tell y'all exactly what I'll be working with and maybe get some good recommendations. I've just recently installed Premeire Pro CS6 and have played around with some dinky sequences and videos just to familiarize myself with the program more but I would really like to get all my settings tweaked to the most efficient modifications before I start any real projects that will be saved.
Forgive me if anyone feels this question has already been answered elsewhere, but after days of reading I came to the understanding that some of the broad, generic answers seemed ambiguous to someone who isn't the best at figuring out technical situations.
Ok, so here's what I'm working with, and I'm already aware that it isn't the "ideal" computer but it's what I've got to work with and I think it will be sufficient for my amateurish/hobbyist needs:
My computer is an:
ASUS U52F-BBL9
System Type: x64-based PC
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU m 460 @ 2.53 GHz 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
RAM: 4.00 GB (But I'm in the process of upgrading to 8 GB, which means I might have more questions in future)
Hard Drive: 500 GB (450 GB is free space)
OS: Windows 7
I also have 1 external USB 3.0 Hard Drive 1 TB (Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex) but I use it with my USB 2.0 ports
Should I utilize my external hard drive, or save everything directly to my computer. And if I should use both hard drives, how should I divide them up. The scratch disk tab gives options to save to 4 differenet locations, a place for:
Captured Video, Captured Audio, Video Previews, Video Audio Previews
All most all the files I will be working with will be imported video filed that come from my non-HD video camera or other various video files. A very small amount of the video I will be working with will be captured from my very old mini-DV camcorder.
I already know some video geniuses will jump on this and set me straight, so thanks in advance.
PS- unrelated
Also, I am currently on the free trial I downloaded and will need to purchase before the end of this month. I was hoping to purchase the disc version vs downloaded version and was wondering if I could just use the registration info and serial numbers from my box to activate the already installed CS6 on my computer, or will I have to uninstall then reinstall the new box version.

Dear Harm or somebody else,
I've been studying the chart and posts on the thread you suggested and remember reading over it before. One reason I was hesitant to just accept it and go with the reccomendatins was because I wasn't sure if the "2 Disk System" recommendations you are advising are for internal hard drives only or can be adopted for my USB external hard drive also.
Some other websites suggest using my portable hard drive, others say if it's only a USB 2.0 I'm probably better off just using my internal hard drive. Also, I'm embarrased to admitt it, but much of the terminology in the the chart, notes, and threads are Greek to me.
So forgive me if this is rude for lack of effort on my end, but if you do recommend using my external hard drive in the "2-Disk" setup, and you were on my computer starting a new project in CS6 right now, what disk would you set the following drop down options to on the Scratch Disk Tab:
Captured Video - Default = Same as Project
Captured Audio - Default = Same as Project
Video Previews - Default = Same as Project
Audio Previews - Default = Same as Project
Should I leave everything default, change it all to my portable hard drive, some of it to portable hard drive, or what?
And also, I'm not sure what Media Cache and Page Files Are or if they're relevant in my situation.
Sorry to keep bothering y'all with these stupid questions but I've been reading for the last week advice about this from all over the internet so I'm just gonna take whatever info I get from this last post and make it work even if it is baffling to my Premeire-ignorant brain. Thanks

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!

DHCP scope setup for 3702 APs on Microsoft server

Hello all, thanks for taking a look - I need some help.
5508s running 7.6
3502s widely deployed, but wanting to start planning for 3702s.
Here's my dilemna. Option 43 as-is, simply doesn't work, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to add in the right VCI, or custom DHCP options on our Microsoft DHCP servers...
Can anyone provide me with some screen grabs or PDF instructions to help walk me through this configuration?
Thanks much,
Jason W.
(Here's a link to the doc that led me to believe I need to go down this road, and that there's just s custom DHCP option missing for my 3702 deployment. This link is outdated though.)

Hi Jason,
There is a very good explanation from Jeff.(52.50 explains option43/60 on Windows DHCP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKEiPCLO3Qk&list=PL_mADa_gji1MYUz-C-VGkLLMl56L4x5Mh&index=4
I believe VIC should be Cisco AP c3700.
Hope this helps.

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Downloaded a song from iTunes on my iPhone but only shows on my iPad. Setup for same iCloud.

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to play tracks on the iPhone from iTunes, the music will be grayed out.
You can play them in iTunes if you Manually Manage the music on your iPhone though.
You could also Transfer the purchases from your iPhone to a computer.

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents. I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop. Just an iMac. Nothing to share the data with.
Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer. The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word. One is a macro enabled word doc. I am using os x mountain lion.
After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved. I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week. Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with contacts and documents.
My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud. Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this? I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Phyllis

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.
