IMessage sync problem - too many users

My partner and her kids currently use the same iTunes a/c. Is there any way of isolating the kids iPod Touch's from mum's iMessage app? iTunes a/c each is the easy option, but then they lose access to all songs and apps etc they have purchased...???

Add additional email addresses for each child to your Apple ID account here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/561/wa/directToSignIn ?wosid=1HFr6YOHXeHtC4m5410IyM&localang=en_UK
Then on their devices, head to Settings -> Messages, scroll down and tap Add Another Email. Once you have added the additional email, head back to the main Messages settings window and tap your own original Apple ID email. It should open the email address in a new view with an option to remove it underneath.

Livecache issue LC10 BY0 Too many users (task limit)

Hi,
we have 2 application servers with one CI/DB, maxusertasks is 500
we figured out a livecache pb, with the following error messages
(db analyzer)
LC10 BY0 > Too many users (task limit)
User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SAPAPO_CLEANUP application pid

before we had the warining: UTK5 is running 1804s, CPU 50% and CPU 100% (LC)
we have checked knldiag/knldiagerr files and we are unable to find what is the root cause of the problem?
How could we analyse this issue and find the treatment which triggers this issue?

Hello John,
We need additional information about the liveCache version, OS of the liveCache server; more details about situation when the issue occurred. Run "x_cons <SID> sh all 10 10 > task_info.txt" when the issue occurred to collect more information.
Check if the savepoint task is active - "x_cons <SID> show active".
Is the issue occurred during high loading to te liveCache?
Please review the SAP note 1391322 where the SPORADIC standstill in high load situation is also described, this issue is already fixed in the new liveCache releases.
This situation occured sporadically. It will be helpful to login to your system for further analysis of the reported issue to get clear if your system run into this known problem because the savepoint was hanging, because of that you had big amount of the user tasks which were hours in the state 'Prep-End' until the liveCache restart.
< It could be the reason for "livecache issue LC10 BY0 > Too many users (task limit)", you reached the MAXUSERTASKS limit,
the increasing of the liveCache parameter will not help you to solve the issue. >
You checked/saw the Database Analyzer log :
"User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SAPAPO_CLEANUP application pid
User task 281 blocked in stae 'Prep-End(230)' since 902s, DB procedure : SIM_SIMSESSION_CONTROL, pid 31685

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

Can't connect to Server - "too many users" after 10.8 install

After upgrading my Retina MBP, my Air, and my mid-2011 iMac (which acts as a file server) to Mountain Lion, I find I cannot consistently connect to the iMac server. Everything is done over an Airport Extreme wifi network, and there were no issues in 10.7. It usually happens 24-48 hours after a retstart, and a restart will fix it though that is inconvenient. The error given on the machine trying to connect in is "too many users" on the host (the iMac server). Any thoughts?

Me too... similar setup. MBPr, MBP and an old MB with a Mini/drobo as a file server. A reboot fixes it, but that's a pain if I'm not home.
I have noticed that I can usually share the screen even if I can't mount a drive, which helps, but still just another hurtle.

Problem "too many activations"

Hi,
I´m having a big problem with my new archos 70 internet tablet when I will activate the archos. Error "too many activations".
Yes, it was my fault, because I have problems to transfer my ebooks, which I bought at the txtr store and I try to solve the problem with some deactivate and activate of the archos... to many activations :-(
Can anyone help me, how I can restore at minimum one activation ?
I could transfer the books on the archos (android 2.2) without problems, I saw them in the application txtr, but if I want to read the books, always the error "unable to read the document" appears (on PC with ADE everything works fine and the book is readable).
best regards and many thanks from
Stupid_Man

As a note to anybody submitting a support case for E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACIVATIONS, provide both the AdobeID you are using the activate Digital Editions as well as the full and exact error message (with all the number/letters) and it will help get the problem resolved in a timely fashion.
Such as in this case, although she opened the case on 3/13, and it was responded to with a request for her AdobeID within two hours, to which she responded with the AdobeID on 3/15 (2 days later). The expected close rate after the correct information has been recieved is 3-5 days, and this has already been bumped up to the appropriate level and should be taken care of shortly, so I'm not going to jostle support's elbows on this one.

Upgraded to new MacBook and now Office activation is declined because of too many users. How do I delete Office registration for my old computer?

Help please. I upgraded to a new macbook and migrated everything. However, Office will not activate because it says too many copies are active. How do I delete the activiation for my old laptop? Thanks.

Use the Office activation phone number and call the automated activation menu. It will ask you how many installations you have. It will then issue you a new code for your new installation. Make sure your old installation is removed.

Yosemite and iOS iMessage Syncing Problem

I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud). I've turned on BlueTooth and tried connecting my devices and then clicking "Enable Test Message Forwarding." Whatever I do, I CANNOT seem to get the activation code to pop up on my laptop. It just won't.
There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
I thought I fixed it because one or two messages I sent from my iPhone showed up on my laptop when I used it later in the day. However, I have yet to see this successfully happen again.
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
Kind regards,
K

Hi,
What I am understanding form your post may not be what you think you are telling me.
Nor does it quite match what I thought I had posted. (post/message is only as good as it is understood by the recipient)
On the iPhone in the iMessages setting remove all additional emails.
Remove the Apple ID you are using for iMessages
Then place in Airplane Mode (ON) which turns everything else Off effectively.
this will leave Messages with just the iPhone number listed when you go back to the settings.
Wait for the iPhone Number to Verify (re-register) with the servers.
Apple IDs
I have an Apple ID I made years ago using an external email address from a Dial up provider.
At the start of iCloud I linked it to iCloud and received an @Me.com email ID either works in iTunes and logging in to the web page for iCloud.
Later I also got an @icloud.com email/ID
Sending an email to @me.com or @iCloud.com gets to my Mail App that lists the @me.com variant.
Emails sent to the original email address do not come through the Apple servers.
iMessages treats each as a separate ID.
It is important that the Apple ID used on the Mac and the first one used as the Apple ID in Messages on the iPhone are the same - even if they are linked elsewhere.
(It can be different to the iCloud setting on each device)
when you add the Apple ID to the iPhone the mac should get the Pop ups to say what the iPhone is using.
Accepting them adds the iPhone number to the Send and Receive options in the Mac version (And th Start conversations from drop down).
At this point on the Mac you should have only two IDs active to Receive and Send (the Apple ID and the iPhone Number).
Text Forwarding should then be enabled on the iPhone, prompting the Mac version to show you the code, which then needs entering on the iPhone.
There are limits to some Model of Mac regarding Handoff and Airplay (my mid 2011 iMac will do Airplay between Macs but not with iOS devices).
I am not sure if there are limits to Text Forwarding though.

File sharing reports too many users connected

SPECS: Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 2G RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.4. Other users in office also running similar hardware and Mac OS X 10.6.4.
CLARIFICATION: This Mini is used as a file server in a small law office (4 other workstations). It is running Mac OS X Client, not Server. I refer to the machine as "the server" but wanted to be clear the operating system is the same on all stations.
HISTORY & CONFIG: This system was setup in November 2009. It provides simple file sharing storage for a 4-user law office and runs Retrospect (version 8.1.626) to do some local and network backup operations. At the time it was setup, it was also running Now Up-to-Date Server but that program is no longer supported, and it has been removed from the computer (May 31, 2010). In late March 2010, I installed Daylite Server as a replacement for Now Up-to-Date. All stations are running Mac OS X 10.6.4, and have always been at the most recent Mac OS X 10.6.x revision within a few days of the release of a major update.
PROBLEM: Occasionally, clients cannot connect to the server (and I don't have the exact error message -- next time it happens, someone is supposed to get a screenshot). When this happens, if you go to the server and open the file sharing control panel, then click "options", you will see an impossible number of people are connected. The first time this happened was on April 28, 2010, when it reported 41 users were connected. Mac OS X Client has an upper limit of 10 simultaneous user connections, so you can see this number is not possible. Additionally, these are "phantom" logins because you can execute this command in Terminal to see the IP addresses of any connected users:
netstat -n | grep '.548'
And when I do this, unless there was someone who had logged in prior to the "phantom explosion", it never shows any connections. On two occasions, I've actually been in the office late one night to do maintenance, checked the server before I left and found 0 connected users, then got a call in the morning that the first person who attempted to connect was blocked and the server showed 10 or more users connected.
I do not believe this is some kind of security breach. The server is not Internet-accessible, and as is shown by the netstat command, there really isn't anyone logged in anyway. I consulted with Marketcircle (makers of Daylite) because it seemed very coincidental that I installed their software just prior to the beginning of this problem, but they claim Daylite does not make any use of the Mac file sharing system. But, again, since these aren't real users, I suppose it's possible a bug in their software is somehow upping the Mac's connected user count erroneously?
Restarting the server always fixes the problem -- until it happens again. This Mac Mini is a pretty simple station -- just runs Daylite Server and Retrospect Single Server, plus the basic file sharing. Anyone have any ideas why this keeps happening?

I would say odds are likely this is correct. On at least two occasions I can think of where I verified everything was okay and later discovered a "phantom explosion", a Retrospect backup would have run. Our backups typically run at 3 AM. Is this a known issue with Retrospect? If so... not sure why it doesn't happen all the time. And in my own office I have a pretty similar setup on an entirely different computer that multiple people connect to, and it never does this. Color me confused.

How to send notification when too many users connected

Hi all !
I need to send a notification from my web container when there are over 100 users connected, does anybody know how to do it without using vendor's Api but just JEE Api ?
thanks

Hello,
If you create an object that implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener,
you can define valueBound and valueUnbound methods. I usually call it a User class. Also you
can have a static int, counter, in this class, which is accessible by all
classes (make it public or create increment, decrement and getValue methods). In
the valueBound method, get it to increment the static int, in valueUnbound call
decrement).
Now in the JSP pages, at the top, check if the User object exists in the Session
scope. If it doesn't, create one and add it to the Session. This will
automatically call the valueBound on that object and increment the counter. When
a persons session expires, or the User object is removed from the session, the
valueUnbound is automatically called and the counter decrements.
I usually make this check a seperate JSP page which I include on all the other
pages. Then all you need to do is get the User.counter value at any time to see
how many people are on the system.
Hope it helps

Safari Bookmarks problem: Too many subfolders, not enough time!

Hi people,
My bookmarks were imported from IE. I have many main folders with many subfolders in each: thus I have always had my bookmarked information very organized and I know where to find anything, by category.
However now I'm using Safari on my new MacBook. When I want to add a new bookmark, I click the Bookmarks drop-down menu. I click "Add Bookmark..." A box displays that allows me to enter two things: the name of the bookmark, and the folder I want to enter it into. Then, clicking on the arrows next to the folder list, hundreds of folders come up in a huge fast-scrolling stream. Not main folders that I can see at a glance, but ALL of my folders, at once! This is a mess. Finding my main folders takes scrutiny and fiddling, and when I'm trying to work this is a huge distraction.
It's a visual organization problem: there seems to be no way to CHOOSE which folders I want to display. Safari simply displays ALL of my folders AND subfolders at once. To sort my new bookmark I must scroll through every single folder, (the scroll-speed makes this difficult, and the size of the icons and the tab-indents require leaning and squinting.) Alternatively I can save it in the bookmark bar, then open the bookmark window, then move the new bookmark elsewhere, step by step by step. This is tedious and distracting.
So can somebody please help me learn to do the following?
I want to find a way to display only the main category folders in the Add bookmark dropdown menu. I can choose from there which subfolders I want to open, and I don't want every single folder to show. Is there a way to do this??
If not, is there at least a way to change the color, text, or image of the main folders so that I can locate them easily within the huge list??
If I can not organize my bookmarks the way I need them using Safari as my main browser becomes an ordeal. I was VERY happy to switch from IE, but this is very discouraging. To continue using it I would have to come up with a completely new organiztional system and reorganize my nearly 3000 bookmarks.
Ok, thanks in advance to whoever can answer this. You're a lifesaver!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4) still waiting for arrival

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Rather than using the Bookmarks drop-down menu, perhaps using the Bookmarks Manager might be an easier approach. To access the Bookmarks Manager, click the "book icon" on the left of the Bookmarks Bar (if you haven't done so, the Bookmarks Bar is enabled in View Menu>Show Bookmarks Bar, or Apple Key/Shift/B).
When you click on the book icon (or Apple Key/Option/B), a back screen appears showing your various Bookmark collections and History on the left, and the detail inside each collection on the right (clicking on a collection reveals its contents). You can drag the current URL from the Address window down into the folder, which is a faster way to navigate through the Bookmarks. There, you can also create folders etc.
Go to the Safari Help menu>Safari Help or Apple Key/Shift/? and type Bookmarks. Additional information is provided about how to manage your bookmarks.
Lastly, 3rd party software exists as an alternative to Safari's Bookmarks. One popular one is URL Manager Pro. Personally, I find Safari's manager sufficient, however, this is something you may want to consider.

IPhone 4 Syncing Error- Too Many Computers

I get an error message that says my iPhone has been cynced to 5 computers and it won't sync to my new MacBook Pro. Is there any way to Unsync it from computers I no longer have access to? We're talking about computers from three years ago, before I even had the iPhone 4 (I'm guessing; the error message doesn't give me any more info than that)!

You need to do a factory reset (erase all content and settings), set up as new phone, then input your icloud info to restore some data lost (contact ect..)
1. Set icloud to sync your important information
2. Remove any / all data from the device (backup will not work)
***PERFORMING A BACKUP VIA ICLOUD OR ITUNES WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE - IF YOU RESTORE FROM BACKUP THIS FIX WILL NOT WORK! MUST SET UP AS NEW PHONE!
3.Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
4.Setup the iPhone (You Must Set Up As New iPhone)
5.Go to app store - no error
6.Sign into icloud and itunes account (Do Not Restore From iCloud Backup)
7.Go to app store - still no error
Hope this helps.

Sync's too many contacts

I have several contact lists in Outlook. Before 1.1.3 it sync'd up the main "Contacts" ignoring all the others. Now it has sync'd ALL the lists on to the phone.
I know you can select which contacts to sync, but the main "Contacts" isn't listed, only the other ones, which I don't want!
Any help? Why doesn't it list all my contact lists? I only have 6.

Video Import Problems - Too Many Thumbnails, Too Fast Playback

I have a Sony (Digital 8) connected to my new iMac via Firewire. When I try to capture the video, it appears that iMovie is creating a separate thumbnail clip per every second of video, so I end up with 1000s of thumbnails. I was able to capture video fine a couple months ago so I'm not sure what changed (software update?). Also, when I play back, it plays at twice the speed. I've scoured the internet and have found similar-but-not-exact posts, but NO solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Sorry! I was thinking of iMovie HD 6 - the previous version to iMovie '08 - in which you can choose what kind of new project to create, thus:
..note that it offers 'HDV 720p' as an option (..beneath 'DV').
But, somehow your import is presenting itself to iMovie '08 with - it seems - only 1 field per frame ..hence it's playing twice as fast as it should, and you've got all those extra thumbnails, as if every frame (..or, as you say, every second of playing time..) is a separate clip.
Erm ..I wonder if the internal clock had stopped in your camcorder, so that every shot has the exact same date and time stamp. In that case - noooo-oo-oo ..then iMovie would fail to recognise individual clips, instead of treating every second as an extra clip.
I have had a similar thing happen with a fairly old (1999) miniDV tape: when importing into iM'08 I got lots and LOTS of separate clips instead of one continuous clip. That was caused by the tape being old, perhaps badly wound onto the spool ..certainly not having been fast-forwarded and then rewound each year as ought to have been done, to prevent magnetic "print through" and physical pinching, etc, on the spool.
Camcorders - especially Sonys - have circuitry inside them to disguise bad tape replay: if a field or frame is missing, the camcorder can 'regenerate' it by playing the previous field or frame again ..the human eye doesn't really notice this fakery. But that is NOT done when the signal's played out along the digital FireWire link: if the tape's bad, then a faulty signal arrives at the other end ..in this case apparently at your Mac, or at iMovie.
Try winding and rewinding the tape a few times, and/or playing it through, and then trying to import it. ..Is that any better?
