I just don't understand the point of iCloud
Forgive me, but I'm not getting the iCloud concept. Is it helpful when I'm running out of space on my iphone? Please explain in simple terms
No, it doesn't expand the capacity of your phone. iCloud is designed to allow you to keep data like contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. consistent across all of your devices. For example, if you add or delete a contact to one device, it's automatically added or deleted to the others. It will do this with iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches) running iOS 5 or higher, and with computers running the correct operating system and software.
iCloud will also automatically stream photos taken on one device to your other devices, and automatically back up your device over the internet.

HT4847 Don't understand the purpose of icloud storage
Hello,
Maybe I'm alone on this one, but even after reading Apple's articles on iCloud and iCloud storage, I don't understand the purpose of it. I am only using 23.5 of a 25 Go storage (all of it is backup of all my apps and files (not sure the movies and music is covered even though the iPad general setting info implies this since I'm in Europe) and yet, if I delete the app files from the iPad, I also delete them from the cloud. So for instance, I want to update to the latest iOS and it says I'm short 312 Mo and need to delete stuff from the iPad.
If I understand correctly, the only way to do this safely is to make sure a duplicate is on my PC via iTunes. So then what do I need the iCloud extra storage for (for which I am paying)? Is this like a SkyDrive or Dropbox or not???
Please someone clear this up in simple, step-by-step type language. I feel like I'm getting a round around when I read or take to Apple folks via email. Thanks in advance!Movies, music and apps are not part of your back ups, they are all available already on Apples servers as part of the iTunes Store. Backups consist of settings, photos and other data which cannot be obtained from elsewhere.
iCloud is not general online storage like Dropbox, in addition to back ups it keeps all your app data from apps such as contacts, calendars etc so it can be accessed by all your devices and keep them in sync. But in keeping with the mobile system structure the data is accessed through the app rather than a folder structure. -
Unpredictable WSUS update behavior or I just don't understand the WSUS process.
Last month I had started a thread about random WSUS clients failing to download updates and generating 403 errors. I am seeing the same behavior this month with a new wrinkle.
The machines that generate the 403 errors 1). do not have any connectivity or permissions issues preventing them from accessing the WSUS server, 2). the failed machines appear to be random and 3). the failed machines are usually less than 15 in number out
of 400+ identically configured and connected machines receiving updates. This month when the first batch of servers where scheduled to start downloading the approved updates all but 9 successfully download, rebooted and restarted completing the update
process. The remaining 9 (a different 9 from the previous set) failed to download every update again with phantom 403 errors.
That was last week. This week I opened my WSUS server console only to see the machines that were previously updated and removed from the "failed or needed" list reappear
in that list. Apparently the WSUS server has spontaneously decided that several past updates from 2012 to present are needed by these machines and as these updates were previously approved years ago the client machines have started downloading these updates
and in some cases rebooting. This is particularly distressing as a). these are production machines that have a set reboot schedule and per the GPO should not reboot off schedule, b). The WSUS synch is only performed one time a month to prevent
multiple update processing and reboot cycles and c). The spontaneous updating has created even more failed machines. Some machines are failing updates that were reporting as installed last week. Due to the erratic behavior and the apparent age of some of the
updates I performed a WSUS reset by stopping the update service, deleting the old update folders from the WSUS server update directory, restarting the service and issuing a
WSUSUtil.exe RESET to re-download the required updates from Microsoft. The WSUS server is a VMWare hosted VM with sufficient HD space and memory available.
I have a total of about 2500 machines that receive updates from this server at different scheduled times during the month. It is not always possible to accommodate this type
of erratic behavior and stay on schedule. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I have not been able to find any sub-status codes for the 403 errors. IIS logs only list 200 and 206 codes, no errors any any IIS logs and full logging was enabled at IIS setup. Clients only list the following:

Don't understand the workflow in e-commerce
Is there a place to see the backend of an online store working, or to see how it's supposed to be set up? My previous experience with shipping cart systems is that once the order is placed, it gives you the ability to change the status of the order, from something like "processing" to "shipped" or maybe "In Progress". Once you change it to "Shipped", it updates the customer via email and it takes the order off any WIP reports.
I setup the online store in a dummy company, and ordered something from it, using "COD" for payment, then I went to see how all that worked. I can't see anything that moves the order through the process to the end. It looks like that might be something I have to setup with workflows. Is that correct? If not, how does the order go from a new order to a shipped order?
I'm sure it does it or can do it, I just don't understand the way it all works. A tutorial or demo would be great, but I haven't been able to locate one.
Thanks in advance for any help!Hi,
The order status is changed as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-status.html
and payment is applied to the cash order as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-payments.html
Hope that helps!
Please let us know for any further assistance.

Unless I misunderstood, I have to pay to get all my music to be pushed to all my devices (iTunes Match) and I have to buy iWork for my iPhone (even though I already have it on my Mac) in order to get those documents pushed to the cloud. (It makes more sense to stick with iWork beta!)
I feel like Apple is nickling and diming its loyal customers.
So, essentially, iCloud is useless! I thought it would be a great way to free up space on my hard drive; I could just store my documents and music in the cloud.
My question is: what is the point of iCloud? Honestly, what does it do? It just pushes stuff between your devices? I genuinely don't understand the point of it.capaho wrote:

Here we go... Yet another 'loyal' Apple customer who seems to think that because they've bought one Apple product, Apple should forever let them have new products and services for free.
The real problem here is that Apple has no long-term commitment to support anything it makes. It wasn't that long ago that MobileMe (which was not free) came into existence and now it is already being dumped in favor of iCloud, which lacks the iDisk, remote access to Time Capsules and personal websites. It's a step backwards and a disservice to those of us who were using some or all of those MobileMe features.
Apple's product cycles, both hardware and software, are too short to be of use to anyone but those who like to play. Forget about trying to run a business from Apple products these days.
That is exactly right.
In my own small home network we 7 Macs all being synced through MobileMe. Only two of these Macs can run Lion and doing so would mean no longer being able to use applications that our clients still use so it would mean loss of these clients. Not to mention the cost of replacing at least 5 of or Macs.
Then there are businesses that have dozens of Macs or sometimes even hundreds of Macs along with gigs and gigs of data that Macs running Lion can't access. So even ignoring the huge cost of replacing al these Macs with newer Macs there is still the issue of Macs running Lion not being able to run needed applications.
With MobileMe one could buy a newer Mac running Lion and it would still be able to sync with older Macs but now it is all or nothing.
At least one design shop that I do work for is now replacing their Macs with Windows machines since these computers can run older software and also be able to sync with iOS devices using iCloud. At least a dozen other places that I do business are considering doing the same thing. -

Hi MAX22,
Even though it's your computer but your user account might not have sufficient privileges to install the software.
Please try the following :

Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

Don't understand the cc cleaner tool
Good morning and happy new year.
I must be the dumbest people here but I tried to follow the cc cleaner tool process explained here and I'm at a loss and stopped before making a fool of myself.
I went through the process 1 and 2 ie. I have a disk repair and an external disk backup of my system driver. (I use Win 7 Ultimate fully updated). My projects are NOT on the system drive as well as all the clips I use .
question : Will CC cleaner delete on the system drive any information related to my projects? I need a precise answer: No or Yes. The "perhaps", "maybe" etc evavive answers are not acceptable in such situations.
In the step 2 of the help file I uninstalled with Win 7 uninstall manager different elements from CC and CS 6 that either I have no use of or that I wont use anymore as I want to stick to the latest version of CC which are PPro, AE and Mediaencoder for the moment.
We arrive to step 3 and there I just don't understand why I should have to uninstall programs I uninstalled in the previous step. Will that step totally erase the whole programs of CC for example, or will it just clean remaining items or directories specifically related to for instance Prelude CC 2014 ? Can't people who write these messages in their scripts be once and for all precise in their wording saying what will be done?!
In this present instance I need to make a clean re-install of Mediaencoder CC as there has been most probably a problem during the recent update although it was completed without any error messages; I can't anymore re encode a project although I have not changed a line of it! The program stops suddenly and reboots my computer. I have not changed anything in the computer as well and the hardware is not the cause of the problem as it is only Media encoder which provokes the crash when it did not before the update.
This will be probably considered an ill mannered way of presenting my problem by I'm sorry to say that one cannot work cautiously enough and I don't want to see weeks of work erased and not usable even with backups because a user manual is not clear and precise in its wording. This infuriates me and I wish to know where I set foot!
Again sorry for my bad temper but really this is stressing.
Thanks in advance for your help

My project is on driver G, my clips are on D, E and G, with a majority of them on G; Cloud CC 2014 is on Driver C with Windows 7
B/What version of Premiere Pro are you running currently? Do you have any third party plug-ins or hardware you using in conjunction with Premiere Pro? Do you know what version of Media Encoder you were using successfully before the recent update and you started having problems?
I use exclusively since I took the subscription to Cloud CC, the latest versions, I check updates or upgrades every week and of course get notification also by the automatic Cloud manager of any new version. My last update was done on the 30th of December 2014. So yes I run with the most recent programs; the problems occurred just after! And got aggravated yesterday for no reason when Media encoder and Premiere Pro did not recognized MP4 format clips with an error message that the format was not supported!!! I hope Adobe did not decide to abandon this format, because it would put my 2 projects in full jeopardy!
Before the last update I had no problems. I have uploaded on Vimeo a provisional encoded file (see
with password rja404177 .
I decided to separate my project in two master projects concerning each of them the 2 parts of the video, with different names as to make the projects less heavy to manage by the computer and also easier to correct or change some of the effects controls especially the use of the curves RGB effect. I have a problem of getting an even colorimetric view between three different sources of files and cameras, one source is analog, the others HD and one of the latest has been more or less over exposed, so I check every clips with the YCscope and RGB parade and Vectorscope ( there could be a problem of color broadcast due to the red of the cliffs). Just imagine what would happen If I had to do it again! The full video is 1h10 minutes long! The video here corresponds to the first master project before the division in two parts. As I use nested sequences I have transferred in the master sequence here the 3 first sequences of the film (Titles, Las Vegas to Lee's Ferry, 1st day on the river).
Yes I have Video Copilot addons but which are not used in the project as well as Red Giant Universe Premium also not used here. In fact I seldom use special effects in these projects as they are kind of documentary on my raft trip down the Colorado in 1995 updated with films of two friends done 2011 and 2013. The only effects used are Cross dissolve and the Slide push one twice in the project for the last one. I use otherwise the default controls of scale and opacity if necessary. Soundwise, my tracks are declared 5.1 and used in conjunction with Audition CC (I've been a user of this last program for many years since it's creation by Syntrillium under the name CoolEdit Pro before Adobe acquired it!)
May I add that I'm not a novice with computers although an old froggy of 73!LOL! I began using computers in 1972 besides my job of Financial Analyst. I developed software in APL+ for stocks buy and sell decision making and created in France the first financial database in 1978 I was considered at that time like a perfect crazy guy in my business, good to be put in an asylum!!!. Since then I must say I had a good laugh! Try to prevent a trader to use a computer and databases nowadays and you'll see the speed at which he will throw you out of the window!
C/I would probably have focused on just Media Encoder if possible but whats done is done. Maybe you did?
Yes you're right I sort of thought of Media encoder first, but revised my way of dealing with the problem thinking that may be the installation had not been done correctly although no problem occurred during the update. I always update one program at a time waiting it to be fully completed before clicking on the install button of the next one.
D/ about the two methods of uninstall.
You say "The cleaner tool removes the same directories as the standard uninstaller. However the uninstaller is definitely the preferred method as it is done in conjunction with OS and the registry versus scripts which don't. The cleaner tool is generally used when the standard uninstall method fails "
May I say I'm not sure this is the right way to do from the user viewpoint. It is misleading. I'm again neither a professional in development although I mentioned what I did when I was not retired, and not a professional in Video editing etc.. I just address the problem from the user's point of view. If Adobe thinks that the Management panel solution is the best solution to have all the files eliminated let's stick to it. In fact one can see by using the CCleaner program that it does not eliminate all the register's problems after having uninstalled a program. So perhaps then it is justified to use also the Adobe CC Cleaner device. Then may I suggest that the phrasing of the step 3 be changed to make the user understand its real purpose. From what you say one induces that they are complementary. This should be perfectly clear in the user's brain. When I tried to find answers to my problems on the forums it showed many times that people did not really understand what would happen, how the device was going to work. That's why I insisted in my question on the "precise, yes or no " etc.. answers required. I can dedicate time to such questioning, I doubt a professional having to deliver a final product under contract has time to make hypothesis on this matter if it occurs to him such mishaps....
E/ miscellaneous questions:
Yes I use the default format proposed by Media encoder H.264 preset : Match source high bitrate which matches my project's settings. It worked three times before the update without an hitch. Why should not it go on like that?
The encoded files are saved either on the driver of the project file, or on the E external driver to make sure I do not erase the final encoded file by mistake. Poirot's little grey cells are a little bit rusty nowadays!
I had no problems before the update by working like that.
I did not try a different codec before the last event which is the impossibility of using my MP4 clips. By the way the projects contain also AVI uncompressed (codec UYVY) files (My quicktime version is also updated) and the native files of my Canon Legria AVCHD camera (AVC format) and I used the AVI uncompressed format because I wanted to derush my analog files to eliminate any shots which were of poor quality. I use for this a small software: AVI Cutty which works only with AVI uncompressed files. So I used Media Encoder to pre encode my analog files in this format first; It separate automatically my videos in clips more or less corresponding to scenes. Again I had no problem since I began to use Adobe software more than a year ago with CS5.5 and then with CC 2014 since last September as a yearly subscriber.
Both projects have the same problem.
I checked the Windows task manager while encoding and I observed this:
a/ the crash occurs randomly in time.
b/ it seems that each time the encoding passes on a cross dissolve section (I'm not certain of that it can be also the changes in the curves RGB effects settings from one clip to the other.) the CPU usage curve reaches a peak around 95 to nearly 100%. I suppose the crash occurs when the 100%+ is reached.
c/I've checked my system driver's integrity, there is no problem here. I did the same for the memory which is ok too.
d/ No I did put the question on other forums because I did not find the right place to put it.
I do my best not to pollute other forums with non related questions.
e/ As for the recognition of the MP4 files, other programs like the Windows mediaplayer recognize them so it's not a question of corrupted files.
f/ I've just checked with the reinstalled media encoder. I did not re-encode but I do not get any more messages that the MP4 format is not recognized! Thank god! Remains to test the re-encoding itself and PP when the installation is over.
Well I hope this long answer gives you a better idea of what is going on. I'm finishing right now the re installation of PP AE Media encoder and Audition and will come back to you with the results.
Thanks again
Best

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.

Java tutorial - helps, problem is i don't understand the API
I don't understand the JAVA Tutorials or the API
Take two steps back.
Buy a book on basic Java Programming. You need to understand the concepts behind programming before you should start reading the API.
But kudos for at least trying to read the API.
Now look at the column on the left, and follow the link called [url http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/] Tutorials
and then the link titled [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html]The Java Tutorial (Java Series).
And finally read through the sections starting with [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html]Your First Cup of Java.
Then once you have been through all of that, come back and ask for clarification
on any specific points that you have trouble understanding.
Finally (Because the Finally always gets executed) Try taking a class in java programming.

Don't understand the Silence section in Do Not Disturb. I do NOT want to silence the phone at all. I have entered Allow Calls from 'Everyone".
If you do not want to silence the phone at all, you just need to set both Manual and Sheduled to off (not green). Those two switches turn Do Not Disturb on and off. The "Silence" section is only relevant when Do Not Disturb is On and determines whether it is active only while the screen is locked and Do Not Disturb is On or at all times that Do Not Disturb is On. Also, if Do Not Disturb is Off, it doesn't matter what the "Allow calls from" is set to.
If Do Not Disturb is On you will see a moon icon on the right side of the status bar (somewhere left of the battery %). More information at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463 -
I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences. -
I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?
See "Storage drive" here
Most commonly used backup methods
Th problem with HD video is it needs a fast external interface, so you should pick a external drive that uses the fastest interface your computer has to offer.
Performance rank fastest to slowest is
Thunderbolt, USB3, (newer Mac's)
Firewire 800, USB 2, Firewire 400, USB 1 (older Mac's)
Newer Windows PC's have USB3, older one's USB 2,1.
You need to format the drive if it comes FAT which a lot do, as FAT has a 4GB file size limit, so this won't work with large HD video files.
So if your going to use the drive only with a Mac, then head to Utlities > Disk Utility and format it Options: GUID Format: OS X Extended Journaled. (select the drive makers name and click Partition tab)
If your going to use the external drive with a PC, take it to the oldest PC you have and right click and format exFAT.
If you have a Windows XP machine and there is no exFAT, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?
Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:

I don't understand the charges on my credit card for itunes. please help
Your credit card is only linked to one iTunes account, and you've checked the purchase history on it via your computer's iTunes as per the page that you posted from ? And you don't have iTunes Match or any auto-renewing subscriptions (I'm not sure if they show on the purchase history or not, I don't have any so I can't check) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
And you haven't added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? Each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so. Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If you can't find anything on your account's purchase history then you should probably contact your card issuer and get the card cancelled and replaced. You can also contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
I don't know what your second post means.
