If a mobile represents a user and a mac represents a family...

I've read these posts to death.  Apple needs to get it together on this one.  Lots of family's have a phone each but fewer ipads and macs.  I would safely say most.  I would also say most families want to pool their photos (yes flamers I'm sure you are different, but I'm speaking for "most" people right now). 
Apple, why is it so hard to have multiple photo streams (apple id's running on different phones) automatically dl into a single mac? 
I dont want some buggy, difficult to use work around.  I want a bonafided apple quality, easy to use, works out of the box FIX to this.  It's been to **** long and it should have worked right from the start!  I want a preferences box to pop up and say, "good morning!  I noticed you have a couple iphones that talk to this mac, would you like to automatically import both photo streams into iphoto?"
Apple, please fix this. 
Thanks in advance!

  • In the old Mobile me storage I had shared storage for my family and all of our devices. How do I breakup the 55GB across my apple accounts now that iCloud is by device by user?

    In the old Mobile me storage I had shared storage for my family and all of our devices. How do I breakup the 55GB across my apple accounts now that iCloud is by device by user? Anyone else have this issue. I am also in need of correcting the storage from my work where I do not have Safari or I can not down load iCould to my desk top.

    That storage moves to master account. Since there are no accounts like that in Icloud, people in your family will enjoy complimentary 5 gigs from Apple and they will let you know if they need anymore. You will not be able to manage storage from windows desktop

  • Sample JAVA Mobile Server Publish code, and technical questions

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,
    Thomas G. Matney

  • I can not re-install/ update apple iTunes on my HP PC running Win7-64.  I get a registry key error when installing and am asked to make sure I have access.  IT is a home PC with one user and I have admin priveledges.

    When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option.  The update failed and killed the version I was running.  I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess.  I can't completely remove all Apple products.  I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
    When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
    I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin.   I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys.  I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems.  At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

  • Push Notifications to end users and Conditional Success Screen Name ?

    Hi,
    Scenario: PO Approval
    Description: I am developing a PO approval application with 3 levels of approval. The HWC application is based on the push notification ( DCN with payload ). When a PO ( Purchase Order ) is created/modified the end user will get the notification. Once the first 2 levels of approval is done from the mobile devices the notification should reach the 3rd level for approval. And Conditional Based Users only View there Profiles, If an User1 Approved PO Approval then only User2 Will get Push Notification but  for User3 it will not Visible, Oncethe User2 Approved then Only User3 will get Push Notifications and these 3 Profiles have to be log in Based on Condition Name & Conditional Success Screen Name.
    Question: How to set to which user the notification should reach. In the "to" field of JSON when I am providing "supAdmin" means the notification will reach all the devices who has the application. Once a PO is created the notification should reach only to user in the first level. Once he approves the PO, then only it should reach to the user in the 2nd level. And finally 3rd level.
    Here Conditional Name is the best way to Log In or is there any other way to show the User based Log in Details, Because Here I am showing a List of Items Based On Log In,  and Based On Log In user Has to view there List of Products and Status.
    How to manage this situation.
    Midhun VP can you please help me on this.
    Thanks,
    Vamsi K

    Yes, DNS is is fundamental for networks, even for Windows networks. The DNS is working well for the existing Windows network and there are no problems in distributing certificates etc.
    There are more than 150 users and 180 devices on the network without DNS problems.
    I don't know how to discover a DNS problem... Windows works well.
    DNS resolves fine... dig does it for "a" records and "ptr" records. nslookup resolves, too.
    When the problem is a faulty DNS, why does the usage of users/devices from OD work with Profile Manager?
    Renaming and/or migrating the ActiveDirectory is not possible. First, I want to be sure that there is a faulty DNS.
    The .local TLD is not optimal for Bonjour/mDNS but I can't believe that there is no workaround

    You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
    You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.

  • User and group settings are not pushed

    Hello,
    I am just setting up a Mavericks environment including Server.app and I am facing a problem that I could not solve up to now.
    None of my profile manager settings for users or groups are pushed to the mobile users on my client computer. The device registration worked without problem and also the computer settings are pushed but not the ones for user and group settings. 
    In my productive mountain lion environment this is no problem.
    Is there any was to force the settings update for users as it is possible for computers?
    Any hints are appreciated

  • How to find out list of users and their access on Sharepoint

    Hello Everyone
    How can i find out list of users and what access they have on SharePoint site? I want to create table with list of the users and their access?
    Thanks

    you can get the report using below powershell scripts. first one gives list of users in a site collection level.
    The second link generates the permissions reports for each user.

  • Using Messages with Multiple Users and Multiple Computers

    I have two users who share two different computers, switching between them during the day.
    I'd like to use messages on them for us to send text messages in the office, however, it asks them on logging in (most, but not everytime) to re-enter their apple id password.  It seems that using icloud for messages among multiple computers like this isn't good.  its like it wants each computers to be linked with a particular user, and doesn't like it that the users are moving around from computer to computer
    Options to avoid this nuisance?
    1.  Would bonjour messaging work, and then just remove the icloud account from messages?
    2.  How about setting up the message server on my ML Server, would that avoid this problem?

    I'd say probably make sure that in the advanced tab under edit>preferences you should make sure they both point to the same file.
    My turn now, how to i post a thread, there's no button.

  • HT1689 since doing the 7.0.4 update i notice that my mobile data has doubled and i am running out of data mid month.  I've disabled apps s not many running.  Any suggestions?

    since doing the 7.0.4 update i notice that my mobile data has doubled and i am running out of data mid month.  I've disabled apps s not many running.  Any suggestions?

    I am having the same issue even with the newer 7.1. I have a 1-100 KB data push on both my husdand's and my phone every hour on the hour (i.e. my will be at :23 of the hour and his will be at :13 of the hour and it will change). This is whether we are on a WIFI and with all apps, background refreshes, push notifications, etc turned OFF.

  • Why does new Skype work with one user, and not another?

    Running 19.4.5, I installed the latest version of Skype. (I do not activate it on login) This opens, but crshes/unexspectedly quits on "sign in". I tried the same with a "new user", and the app opened fine. I compared the two users to make sure that Skype was correctly featured in my usual user. No difference. Still crashes.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be conflicting with Skype?

    Right, problem solved! . Am posting this as it may help in future. I use a useful little app called Window Dragon,(a haxie) which helps resize windows with the mouse. This was causing the conflict, but had not with earlier versions of Skype. All I had to do was exclude Window Dragon from working with the new updated version of Skype and everything back to normal.
    Solutions to apps that "quit unexpectedly" or crash often mention that haxies can often come into conflict with apps. So best to start with any haxies one has installed, disable, test etc..

  • Working with multiple users and computers, but shared data

    Sorry if this is posted in a poor place, I'm not sure where the best place is. This is sort of a general questions.
    For a long time, my wife and I have had either one computer, or two machines but one has definitely been just a terminal. We've basically set up all of our data to be one one primary machine, and if we want to view/edit that data we have to use that machine.
    We just got a new MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to use two machines as equals. Sadly, this idea of multiple computers, with two users and some shared data is really giving me difficulty. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to best manage things like:
    Synchronizing portions of our contact list (We share about 50% of the combined library -- we don't have to share all though).
    How to manage iPhoto so that we can each have access to the photos. As an added difficulty (or maybe this is easier?) my Wife just wants to have access to the pictures for viewing and sharing on Facebook/Picassa/etc. I am the only one who wants to edit, correct and cull our library. That said, I always edit when I first put the data on the machine, and almost never again; so it would be fine to have one (or both accounts) set up as view only for the iPhoto data.
    How to manage iTunes so that we can each have access to the music. As a super awesome bonus, it would be great if we could have three libraries: His, Hers and Shared. Maybe as much as 30% of our music library is similar, the rest just gets in the way.
    What is the best solution people have found for calendars? (I'm thinking two separate calendars, and we each subscribe to each others iCal feed)
    Mail.app and bookmark synching is not really a problem for us.
    Two extra points:
    * One machine is portable, and the other isn't. Ideally, when the laptop is out of the house, both machines should still have reasonable access to the shared data. That is: Just dumping things in the shared folder won't work because when the laptop is out of the house we will be disconnected from the source data.
    * We just got a second iPhone. This means that both of us will be taking photos/video separately and trying to synch back to the master data store.
    * Basically, I'm trying to minimize data duplication as much as possible, and just synchronize the systems to each other.
    Thanks a ton in advance. If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love to hear them. Including "This is in the wrong forum, go ask here instead..."

    So you have a desktop Mac and a laptop Mac, right? Two user accounts (and a third admin account) on each computer, right?
    I profess that I haven't tried this, but here is how I would approach your problem:
    Sharing Music and Photos between multiple user accounts on the same computer: 
    See if http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=194992 and http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=510993 provide any useful information to assist you in this endeavor.
    Sharing across multiple computers:
    Turn on file sharing on the Desktop (System Preferences > Sharing). Now you can mount the Desktop as an external drive on the laptop's Desktop. Copy the music and photo folders across. Will take awhile to do the first time. Then, for future use, get a copy of the donationware CarbonCopyCloner or equivalent. You can use CCC to selectively sync specific folders from one computer to the other. There may be a hassle with digital copyright issues on music and movies, though.
    Calendars:
    As you have suggested yourself, publishing yours and subscribing to hers is probably the best way to do it, on the same computer. Across computers, syncing with CCC or equivalent would probably be the way to go.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
