Is there any way to set up a development site?

Basically there are quite major product restructures and template updates needed for a client store.
They do not want to take the main site offline while these changes are made however, which ma y take a number of days/weeks.
Is there any way to mirror a Business Catalyst site to a temporary development are, to allow for major changes without taking the main site offline?
I can't see anyway without exporting all data & templates into a new BC site, then changing everything there before importing back into the live site.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Here is what we do. First we use Business Catalyst to replicate the site giving it a similar name or something to reflect it is for development. I believe you have to be a Paid BC Partner to have this functionality. Then in Dreamweaver, we add a testing server to the original site. For the testing server, we use the new site's FTP information and everything.
Now for the workflow, in Dreamweaver you just make changes to your local files and only connect to the testing server rather than the remote server for all uploads. The sync buttons in the file manager turn orange and blue when you are connected to the testing server and purple when you are connected to the remote server.
We have Dreamweaver set to automatically upload on save and it uses the testing server to fully render the BC modules in Live View. Of course, before you start making any changes locally I suggest a full sync and backup. Whenever you are finished and ready to commit all changes, just sync your local files with the remote server using Dreamweaver's FTP sync feature. Just don't connect to the remote server until you are ready to make all your changes.
If you have to make a quick change to the remote server but not ready to commit all your other changes yet, we usually just make those changes directly on the remote server in BC's web interface since it's only usually minor bug fixes or minor content edits. You'll still have to set some sort of restrictions on people making edits to things though or maybe use some type of Version Control system.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered

Hello Damien,
There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone. You can use the following steps to set this up:
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
Turn on or restart the device
Wake the device
Unlock the screen
Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Is there any way to set up icloud with Windows XP?

Is there any way to set up icloud using a PC with windows XP?

Yes there is.
There are many threads on this forum discussing this issue already (it's good to search before asking the same quesiton again).
There is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
http://xlii.be/s/1ii
In summary:
You need:
Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor
The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
Have fun!

That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.

Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

Is there any way to set a timer for particular playlist?

i would like to listen to a sleep playslist everynight without getting up to turn it on. is there any way to set it in advance?

this is not the problem. i know how to open iTunes when it starts up and to schedule the computer to shut down. what i want to is at 8 pm close all applications except iTunes, put the display to sleep and at 9 pm start playing a sleep playlist. i have been told many times not to look at the computer an hour before bed and i so i want to avoid having to look at it to start my go to sleep playlist.
i have looked at a number of programs but i don’t see one that does this yet.

Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

Is there any way to set column width is GridaBagLayout?

Is there any way to set it up like tables in html - where you specify the width and height of the cell and then place the component inside it - with the component not resizing the cell unless it is larger than the cell area?
Thanks.

Thanks Paul, please excuse the sarcasm - I just found your recommendation funny. I actually found some examples of Box.filler and have created a method for adding one for each column I want:
public void addFillerColumn(int width, int height, int colNum, int rowNum )
panel.add( new Box.Filler(new Dimension(width,height),new Dimension(width,height),new Dimension(width,height)),
new GridBagConstraints( colNum, //gridx
rowNum, //gridy
1, //gridwidth
1, //gridheight
0, //weightx
0, //weighty
GridBagConstraints.WEST, //anchor
GridBagConstraints.NONE, //fill
new Insets(0,0,0,0), //insets(, left,,)
0, //ipadx
0 )); //ipady*/
}

If you mean you want to restore from an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option choose to Restore from iCloud Backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766).
