Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID. I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster. Apple needs to address this. They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users. I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic. It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

Is there any manual about using DB2 as storage of Oracle BPEL Manager?

Hi
thank you for reading my post
Is there any manual about using DB2 as database of ORACLE BPEL manager ?
any one tried to port and test the system on DB2?
Thanks.

Hi,
as you can read in the manual:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28980/overview.htm#sthref26
Oracle Database Lite, if you use the SOA Suite Basic installation option
Oracle Database Lite is configured to support Unicode. DB_CHAR_ENCODING is defaulted to UTF8 in the polite.ini file.
Oracle9i Database Server
Oracle Database 10g
The BPEL schema includes PL/SQL packages. They will not run on DB2...
The datasources are configured to Oracle. You will have to change them to DB2...
and it is not supported ;-)

How to use Final Cut Pro with multiple user accounts?

Hi,
I want to use Final Cut Pro on a clean user account. How do I set it up? How can I access my old FCP library and still work on it from multiple users?
Also, I want my DropBox account to back-up my media. Any tips?

I use external drives as backup. But I don't trust them. And in case of fire or what ever...It is of no use...
But I agree on your comment about DropBox. It would have been the perfect solution though.
What else is there?
I have a 2TB HD but these projects are huge and still growing - so I have to move my projects to several external drives. So maybe I should just work directly from external drives and skip the partition of the computers main drive? I am thinking of the disadvantage of reducing the total storage of the disk.

Is there any information about the SPU of OpenSPARCT1 or T2?

hello, I am a student working on the OpenSPARC, in the SPARC core, there is a SPU(stream processing unit) on it. However, there is little information about that unit. I am wondering whether I could have some information or references or websites about the SPU, especially about the instruction which is supporting the cryptographic operations or any operations working on the stream processing unit. Thanks very much!
Best regards

Is there any way i can back up my mac with itunes?

im not really a big fanof icloud so i was wondering if theres any way of backing my mac up using itunes.

iTunes is not a backup application, it only backs up iOS devices as a part of it's sync features.
Time Machine is the tool Apple make for backing up to a local hard disk or Time Capsule.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
You can also make your own copies onto other hard disks via apps like Carbon Copy Cloner
http://bombich.com/
Your options basically depend on what hard disks you have available & how much data you have to backup.

Any possiblity to use single Inbound Service Interface with multiple Receiver Agreements

Hi All,
Scenario: PROXY to FILE.
Requirement is to receive to two locations.
Is it possible to use single Inbound interface with multiple Receiver Agreements. I tried using two operation in the Inbound Service Interface, and Operation Specific in Determination. But couldnt proceed further. Do I need to use seperate Service Interface for two receiver locations?
Please suggest some solution.

Hi Naveen,
There is a possibility but in the case in the same server location with dynamic configuration: Placing file in two different directories using single receiver communication Channel
With different location you would need to develop a new adapter module as Amit Srivastava explains and develops here Send File to Two Different Locations using Adapter Module

Can Muse be used to create a site that requires a CMS with multiple user accounts?

Hi, I am new to Adobe Muse and I would like to understand some specific things about the software. I have been comissioned to create a gallery website which requres a cms for use with mulitple accounts for the users/ artists to display seperate profiles and submit work to. Does Muse have this functionality and if possible to answer, how would I do this? I have looked at the tutorials on Adobe for Muse but I have not seen anything related to this, only the Busines Catlalyst website management software (if indeed it is software). Are there any tutorials on this or could I please be directed to one if no direct answer can be given here as I appreciate it is quite an indepth question. Thanks..

Wait for the new version of Muse which should be published during the first quarter of this year. I guess that in the new Muse version could be basic CMS features?
Best Regards

How do I log use two apple ID's on the same I mac with two user accounts

I cant seem to find a thread to answer this question.
I have have one I mac, both my wife and I have a user account each, we both have our own apple ID's is there away they can be used at the same time?
As so far I can't find a way of doing this. It seems one user account can only use its apple ID for a period of 90days, If I need to use the other apple ID I have to wait.. as I get this messsage
"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 61 days. "
Is there a way around this?

Oh...How about one APPLE account, but two different users on the computer- one being administrator, and allow admin privileges if you want, or one be admin, the other a user.
Or- what you can do, is have the second apple account, but only log in to it without involving the computer.
Or break down and get a second computer. On hers, you be guest user and on yours she be guest- then if one breaks, you can still each use in turn.
Or alternately, go to applestore or contact apple to ask...

Using one music library with multiple user accounts

I want to use one Music Library and be able to have all my computer user accounts be able to access it. Article 93195 does not work for some reason. It is easy to share music over a network but not on the same computer? This can't be. I have talked to several Apple "Geniuses" and they all scratch their head. One guy could do it in Leopard, but not in Tiger. Could it have something to do with the permissions of the Itunes Music Folder? Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Drag your entire *iTunes folder* from /Username/Music to /Users/Shared.
3 Log out.
1 Log in on your other account(s).
2 Start iTunes and immediately press an hold the Option key.
3 iTunes will ask to *Create new library* or *Choose existing library*. Select *Choose existing library*.
4 Select the *iTunes library file* in the *iTunes folder* in /Users/Shared.
5 Now go to File -> *Add to library* and select the *iTunes music folder* located in /Username/Music.
6 - iTunes will add all the music in from this account to the main iTunes music folder/library.
7 Delete the *iTunes folder* in /Username/Music
8 Restart iTunes normally (don't hold Option). Everything should be there.
9 Quit iTunes and log out of the account.
10 Do the above steps for all users. Don't do the first 1-3 steps. Start at the second series.
Log into your account, start iTunes normally and all music should be there.
Whenever any of you do anything in iTunes, it will be seen by all since you are using one and the same iTunes library file.
Create a "main" playlist for each user with their own music. Create a smart playlist and set it to Playlist is not the playlist you created above. Select this and it will show you everything NOT in your playlist. Do the same for the others. This will help when adding only the music you want your own playlist.
Note that iTunes can only be opened by one user at a time. If you have Fast user switching enabled, the other users must quit iTunes in order for anyone else to use it.

Problem: Using iTunes 6 with multiple user accounts in XP

I recently installed iTunes 6.0.0.18 as an upgrade in Windows XP Professional. After installing the software and a restart, I attempted to use iTunes with success as the Administrator. However as another user, iTunes when launched will prompt the user with the user license agreement. When the user accepts the agreement, iTunes never opens, however I have noticed that the hard drive where the music files are located is continually accessed. When logging out an "End Task" message pops up stating that Quicktime Helper Files are still being used.
After the problem arose I attempted twice to completely uninstall iTunes, restart, cleanup the directories, reinstall, and then give all users full control permissions in both the directory structure of iTunes and the registry, with the exact same results.
Currently I have no fix for this problem, but I suspect that it is an issue with the software (iTunes 6.0.0.18). I have since downgraded back to iTunes 5.0.1.4 and am not having any issues.

Hello B,
So I finally had time to download the latest version of iTunes (ver. 6.0.1.3) and install it (logged on as the Administrator account). Please note that during the install I did get an error message that stated something to the effect that "a program tried to access memory location XXXX which is "READ" only." I believe this to be the new memory lock "virus" deterrent system that Intel has recently introduced with the latest 64-bit processors and motherboards, (which I have) but I am only guessing. In any case the installer finished in the background without incident.
After installing iTunes I launched it as the Administrator, and everything work just fine. I then logged off and logged in as my user account and attempted to run iTunes. I got the license agreement window, clicked "Accept" and nothing happened, but again I noticed that the Network card and my NAS were being accessed. I launched "services.msc" to check, as you suggested, to see if my QuickTime service had started. Much to my surprise the service was not listed. So I figured, well if there is such a service that needs to be launched then perhaps launching QuickTime would start this service, (still baffled to why the service is not listed in Windows Services). I launched QuickTime, and while leaving QuickTime open I then attempted to launch iTunes. Much to my surprise it started! I then closed both apps and have attempted to start iTunes several times since with success. A crazy fluke but, the steps listed above seemed to work for me. I can only hope that it helps others out who may be experiencing the same issue.
So it seems that my issue has been resolved. Thank you for all your time and efforts on this matter, I do appreciate it.

Lost use of word for mac 2004 when upgraded to mountain lion OSX

IVe just upgraded to Mountain Lion OSX and lost use of word for Mac 2004. how can i get in to work again

Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
