HT5527 I don't really understand what iCloud does and what it means for me
Hello see above
iCloud's main function is to provide an email service, and syncing of your calendars, contacts, iWork documents and newly taken photos between your computers and iOS devices; you can also back up your iOS devices.
This page looks at iCloud in detail:

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?
It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

What is Laserfiche and what does it do?
What is Laserfiche and what does it do? Does it integrate with O365? Is it a standalone plan or an add on?
Hi Amanda,
Laserfiche is a robust enterprise content, document and records management platform with integrated advanced capture solutions and workflow. Laserfiche is a certified gold partner with Microsoft, fully integrated into the Office suite, including
Office 365 and SharePoint.
Laserfiche provides a platform for centralized content and records storage - ranging from image files to electronic documents to voice and audio files. It is truly an enterprise wide content management system. Very often you will find it coupled
with SharePoint as the back end repository because of the strong workflow designer and engine, which is much easier to use than SharePoint's.
Laserfiche includes advanced capture tools in its product suite that can perform automated data capture from paper records, with index fields completed automatically based on the data extracted. It is widely know as an integrative middleware solution
as well, and at our company Accelerated Information Systems (disclaimer - we are a Laserfiche reseller and top partner for the North East US) we are able to integrate with ANY other application. It really is a robust solution that adds features and ease
of use to a powerful SharePoint platform.
As far as your final question, Laserfiche is a stand alone product, but relies heavily on Microsoft technologies as it does manage the content we create through MS Office and every day printing.
Please let me know if you have any other specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them on this forum thread.

What to uninstall and what to keep
I have been an Adobe/Macromedia user for a very long time and I seem to have accumulated a lot of versions of some of the same software on my computer and I need to clean things up and need some help in determining what to uninstall that will not affect the performance of what I currently use. If anyone out there could spend the time to look over my mess and assist me with this I would be extremely grateful. What you see below I copied word for word from My Programs List and am using Windows XP Professional. If I have placed a question mark next to an item it is because I am not sure if I still use it but I do not knowingly ever choose it from the list. I did not uninstall older software prior to this for fear that I would not e able to gain access to pages I created in the older software using the new version.
What I have:
Macromedia Folder:
Extension Manager?
Freehand MXa no longer use
Fireworks 8 no longer use
Dreamweaver 8 no longer use
Flash 8 no longer use
Flash Video Enhancer 8 ?
Player 8 ?
FlashPaper 2 ?
Homesite + ?
Adobe Folder
ExtendedScript Toolkit ?
Adobe Web Standard CS3 Folder
Bridge CS3 do not use
Contribute CS3 use
Device Central CS3 ?
Dreamweaver CS3 use
Extension Manager CS3 ?
Fireworks CS3 use
Flash CS3 Professional use CS3 now
Flash CS3 Video Enhancer ?
Adobe Programs listed by themselves not in folder but in Programs List:
Acrobat Distiller 7 use
Acrobat Professional 7 use
Adobe Bridge CS2 and CS3 this is really the major issue, can I delete Bridge CS2 without loosing functionality of other CS2 products I still use?
Designer 7 use
Extended Script Toolkit 2 ?
Go Live CS2 rarely but sometimes use
Illustrator CS2 use
Image Ready CS2 use
InDesign CS2 use
Photoshop CS2 use a lot
Stock Photos do not use
Stock Photos CS3 so not use
Flash CS3 use
Contribute CS3 use
Dreamweaver CS3 use
My issue is what can I safely uninstall without loosing any functionality of the programs I do still use/ Bridge is the major issue. It takes up so much space and performance I want to uninstall both CS2 and 3 because I never use it but will I loose any functionality of the other programs in the creative
suite of which it is a part?
Anyone who would take the time to assist me I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
JenniferBridge takes up next to no space at all. Leave it alone. As for the rest, only you know what you use and what you need.

I've down loaded the new version according to Creative Cloud but when I try to launch the app the window appears saying there is a new version, so I click on download now and it crashes. What's happening and what should I do? Thanks.
Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

BVI - What is it and what are its uses?
BVI - What is that and what are its uses?
Ranji,
A BVI is in fact quite similar to an SVI (interface Vlan). You can define a software bridging between various ports of a router, similar to switching between various ports on a switch. If the ports on a switch belong to the same VLAN and the switch is capable of multilayer switching, you can create an interface Vlan for that VLAN and allow the hosts in that VLAN to use the IP address of the interface Vlan as their default gateway.
The same goes for interface BVI - Bridged Virtual Interface. When configuring software bridging, you define a group of interfaces that are bridged - the router performs bridging (i.e. software-based switching) of frames between all member ports of a bridge group, in essence forming a single broadcast domain - an IP subnet. If the devices in the common bridge group want to access other IP networks, they need a gateway, so you create an associated interface BVI that is also a part of the bridge group, and devices in the bridge group then use the IP address of the BVI interface as their gateway.
For exampe, imagine a router with two FastEthernet interfaces:
bridge irb!interface FastEthernet0/0 no ip address no shutdown bridge-group 1!interface FastEthernet0/1 no ip address no shutdown bridge-group 1!interface BVI1 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 no shutdown!bridge 1 route ip
This configuration would make your router to basically behave as a 2-port "switch" on its Fa0/0 and Fa0/1 interfaces, and devices connected to these ports would use the 10.0.0.1 as their default gateway to other networks.
You rarely configure bridging exactly this way these days, as switches are orders of magnitude faster and have way more ports. Still, there are situations where you need to bridge two interfaces, taking packets out of frames of one technology and putting them into frames of a different technology, without routing them, just repackaging but still carrying them between interfaces. This is often done in, say, DSL if the router is configured to act in bridge mode - take IP packets coming to Ethernet interface and simply repackage them into PPP or ATM+AAL5 cells on the DSL WAN port (and vice versa).
Best regards,

hello everyone i have macbook air, hello everyone i have macbook air and my startup disc is full i checked everything and and find out that all space is of OTHER and i dont know what is it and what i have to do with that
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
HT1212 When you restore an iphone, what is lost and what remains the same
When you restore an iphone, what is lost and what remains on the phone?
IF you restore as new all data and settings are lost. IF you restore from a backup then the phone willbe the same as it was as the phone from which the backup came
This is what is contained in a backup
iTunes will back up the following information
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
App Store Application data including in-app purchases (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents.
Autofill for webpages.
CalDAV and subscribed calendar accounts.
Calendar accounts.
Calendar events.
Call history.
Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Game Center account.
Home screen arrangement.
In-app purchases.
Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
List of External Sync Sources (MobileMe, Exchange ActiveSync).
Location service preferences for apps and websites you have allowed to use your location.
Mail accounts (mail messages are not backed up).
Installed Profiles. When restoring a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles are not restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything which can be specified through an installed profile.) Any accounts or settings that are not associated with an installed profile will still be restored.
Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps.
Microsoft Exchange account configurations.
Network settings (saved Wi-Fi hotspots, VPN settings, network preferences).
Nike + iPod saved workouts and settings.
Notes.
Offline web application cache/database.
Paired Bluetooth devices (which can only be used if restored to the same phone that did the backup).
Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages.
Saved suggestion corrections (these are saved automatically as you reject suggested corrections).
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
Trusted hosts that have certificates that cannot be verified.
Voice memos.
Voicemail token. (This is not the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card).
Wallpapers.
Web clips.
YouTube bookmarks and history.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss. -

What is Autofill and what does it do?
What is autofill, and what is it supposed to do, because i was trying to fix something else on my iPod, and i pressed this thinking it might help, but now i cant play a ton of songs! I've heard you need to restore the iPod then, but will this erase all my songs?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
