K1 ICS for non-techs

Would it be of any value to have a tread for non-technical types who have an interest to install ICS but don't understand the other treads.It would require some help from some of the technical people and Mark to let us knew when it's the right time to install and 'how to' in more basic terms.Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.

Here you go. Tried to spell out things very simple.

  • IPhone 5 Newbie-Best way for non-tech savvy to start?

    I'm a non tech savvy 60 something lady who has just switched from an old flip phone to the iPhone 5 16gb (yesterday!) with Verizon. What would be the best use of my time to learn how it all works? I want to get good at making and receiving calls, sending and receiving texts, backing up my phone, knowing how to protect and extend the battery life, etc. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks! This morning, battery is low so I figure out I'd better learn how to charge it quickly. First, I had to figure out how to take it out of my Otter Box to find where to charge it. Then, I plugged my home charger in the phone and the electrical outlet, but nothing seems to be happening. My battery symbol just has a little thin red line showing. I tried calling Verizon and they told me to take it back to the store where I bought it. I tried calling Apple, but they wanted my phone serial number and I don't know where to find it. Is it the number on the box, or the one engraved on the back of the phone, or the numbers on my store purchase receipt? I know you experienced users think I must be dense, but this is all making me crazy!

  • I could not see how to continue after upgrade to firefox 4. This has never been a problem with ast upgrades. I am finding Firefox to be very user unfriendly for non-tech people.

    I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.

    #Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
    #The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
    #*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
    #**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
    #**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
    #**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
    #Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
    #*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
    #*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
    #You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
    Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:

  • Create a 1-click setup for a Remote Desktop session for non-tech users

    Hi everyone,
    I know how to configure a VPN or use port forwarding for VNC, ARD, etc. and know about iChat's Screen Sharing feature and sites like LogMeIn. But I'm looking for something special here. This is the situation:
    • A user calls me for help and I would prefer a Remote Desktop session
    • He's usually behind a NAT router which hasn't been set up to allow remote access
    • He's absolutely NOT tech savy
    So I'd like to have an easy way to allow me to initiate a Remote Desktop session (ARD/VNC) with as little user interaction needed as possible. I don't want to walk him through reconfiguring his router on the phone!
    I was thinking of using iChat's Screen Sharing first. But I'd need to create a jabber account, save iChat's preference file, maybe pack it into a little "Installer" and mail it to him. So all he needs to do is double-click it and run iChat afterwards and accept me.
    But this is a little too much for my taste and I'm wondering if there isn't already a "best practice" or something like that. Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks a lot!

    I've recently started using TeamViewer. If you can walk a person through going to http://www.teamviewer.com and clicking on "Start Full Version" and getting them to download it and run it, then you're good to go. It's cross-platform both ways so you can control a Mac from a PC and a PC from a Mac in addition to M-M and P-P. If they're on a PC, the download is an executable which when they double-click it, asks them if they'd like to run it or install it. Just have them run it and in a few seconds they will have an ID number and random password generated that they can tell you over the phone. Then you type it into your TeamViewer app and you're controlling their screen. If they're on a Mac, the download is a disk image so you have them mount it and then just run the app directly from the disk image. Once you're connected you can fully install the app for future use or just help them out. It's pretty much the simplest cross-platform control system I've found to deal with situations where it's not already setup for me to support. On top of all that, it's free for personal use!

  • Steps to Transfer mail from Older MBP 10.6.8 to Newer MBP 10.8.5 for NON-tech person  I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work

    I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work.
    I am not a technical person.  I have gone online and read a gazillion "All Ya Gotta Do...." to the point where my head swims.
    I backed up my older MBP onto WD Passport Studio via Time Machine.
    I transferred all my files there and put them all onto the newer MBP.
    I expected to see Mail but did not.
    Someone said just use Migration Assistant, but I dont find that anywhere.
    Please dont say iCloud because I dont even know what it is.  Sorry, but I just dont use my Mac other than for work, meaning online access for research, and then typing reports of various kinds... and for emailing.
    Can I just hook the firewire directly from OMBP to NMBP and copy them that way??
    Sorry I am such a dolt, but I really just want easy step by step instructions, thank you.
    Would the Genius Bar at my local store be able to help me???
    Thank you,

    Okey Dokey!
    I followed the steps for the Target Disk thing, and was able to transfer everything on my old desktop, in my old pictures file...  all the final transfers regarding my documents and photos.
    BUT 
    there were no folders for Mail, and when I went to the only folder I could find that said "Mail" -- which was under "applications" it then told me that I could not transfer old "mail" to new "mail" since they were different versions...
    Now THIS makes sense,,, and I was not looking to do that... 
    but how do I find all my mail folders???? 
    Is there someplace I should be saving them in order to get them???
    Do you mind helping me with instructions on how to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Partitioning Problem for non-techie

    Hey guys,
    So I'm trying to install windows, and each time I used the Boot camp assistant, and start partitioning the drive so that I give Windows 32 GB, I get the follow error "Some files could not be moved" and "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." Why is this happened? And what does that mean? What should I do?
    I should add that I've never partitioned the disk before, so I don't know why it says my hard drive is not a single volume.
    Thanks

    No problem Stephan,
    Thanks a lot for your help by the way and sorry for taking so long to grasp this concept. Ok, so once I copy my internal hard-drive to my external, and then boot off of my external, do I wipe my entire inner hard drive, by using disk utility and click restore? Will that delete everything on my internal? And then I copy my external to my internal. And then I run bootcamp?
    After booting of the external HD you just have to run SuperDuper (or CCC) again an copy/clone your external HD to your internal HD.
    The content of your internal HD would be deleted during the process, so no need to do it manually.
    Why can't I just delete my internal hard drive and then reset it so its like I'm turning on my computer on for the first time, set up anew user account, set up bootcamp (my hard drive will basically be empty). Then once windows is all set up. Setup a new user account and use time machine to make that new user account like the one I'm using now?
    I admit that I haven't ever used Time Machine, because I use SuperDuper for backup and don't need Time Machine.
    Nonetheless you might use Time Machine for your purpose as well.
    Boot of the OSX Leopard DVD that came with your Mac )holding down the 'C'-key at startup and from the Top Menu first use Disk Utility to reformat your internal HD and the choose 'Restore System from Time Machine'
    (Both are to be found in the 'Utilities' section of the Top Menu).

  • Learning curve for a non techie-Business Catalyst. Two specific questions.

    Hello everyone,
    Thanks for reading. I am a non techie who is looking at website development as a secondary skill.ie. having the know how to atleast relay my ideas to web developers and ideally to be able to tweak and in the end able to create my own websites.
    In this regard, I feel Business Catalyst is an excellent tool, for people like me which mitiagtes the knowledge of coding to an certain extent. I am currently going through some of the content listed in the forums. Is there a book that provides end to end detailed steps of all the implementation to complete a fully functioning website and how much is the learning curve in this regard?
    Also,
    Business Catalyst offers all in one features, is it possible to use 3rd party in place of default tools for specific function, say use wordpress for blog and a different email marketing service?
    Have a good one.
    Thanks
    Satish

    I personally would tend to prefer wordpress for a small non-commercial website/blog. Its ecosystem of plugins is far more diverse than BCs and you get direct access to the code if you want. BC's blog and forum modules seem somewhat like afterthoughts designed by marketers for marketing, and there's some unevenness to the way they implement what HTML and templates you have access to and what you don't in different context, so to a degree wordpress gives you more fine-grain control over a site.
    The transverse of this is that with open source software you don't necessarily have the quality control or guarantee of long-term maintenance that you might with BC. Business Catalyst is far more initially optimized for business (obviously) and its servers can likely experience a higher load and greater uptime than you might get on a typical hosting service with wordpress.
    Wordpress is kind of notorious for being hackable, mostly because of its ubiquity, although if you work on it it can be secured to a reasonable degree I think -- I'm not aware of any security issues regarding Business Catalyst, apart from recent issues with the captcha and spam which might have been resolved with Akismet and Recaptcha (both of which you can also get on Wordpress obviously) but personally I don't like having all of my accounts linked with a single Adobe username/password.
    But then again, I have to trust that Adobe has their **** together and there isn't some festering zero-day sitting at the heart of all of it because the price you pay for playing in BC's sandbox is just that -- it's their sandbox. They're not releasing the code. If you can't change it with an existing module setting or can't hack around with with javascript then complaining until they fix it's your only option.
    In short, I think it depends on your needs. Neither is entirely the wrong answer, and both have their issues. I've been just as frustrated with some of the rendering bugs and limitations in BC as I have with the way Wordpress (IMHO) overdoes abstraction while simultaneously sticking with its horrendous code-and-content mixing template style. If you have inventory and need to push stock and don't really care about mucking around with server-side code or anything really complex than BC will probably work for you, and of course there are always sites like bcgurus and these forums to help out with edge cases.

  • Tablet for a non-tech boss

    What is the best tablet for a construction guy who is non-tech?  He wants it to show pictures to customers so doesn't need a lot of extras other than email and internet. One of his customers has an IPad and he likes that. I'm just not sure which tablet would be less aggravating for him. Where we live (rural) virtually no wi-fi. We do have AT&T as our wireless provider.
    Appreciate any advice!

    I recommend the IPAD MINI. It is easy to carry, comes with a 5 megapixel camera and so much more.

    Next, I followed the steps outlined in http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5200/gbnse?l=en&a=view&q=shared+calendar+ldap+lookup.
    I set service.wcap.userprefs.ldapproxyauth = "yes"
    I have the ACI entries as specified in that document.
    (targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
    (targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
    (version 3.0;acl "Allow Calendar administrators to proxy - product=ics,class=admin,num=2,version=1";
    allow (proxy)(groupdn = "ldap:///cn=Calendar Administrators, ou=Groups, o=cp");)
    (targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
    (targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
    (version 3.0;
    acl "Allow Calendar users to read and search other users - product=ics,class=admin,num=3,version=1";
    allow (read,search)
    (userdn = "ldap:///uid=*,ou=People,o=pcc.edu,o=cp")
    The only oddity I see is that the ACI entries are not passed down to the next directory levels.
    Any thoughts?
    David.

    I reviewed the document and I believe the VLV browsing indexes are setup and functional. I've also checked the ACI entries and they look correct. (The document doesn't mention the ACI entries for proxy authentication.) As I said, an admin user can retrieve names from the GAL, a non-admin user cannot. The only difference in the access log is the returned nentries value.

  • Smtp for non BT email

    Hi, really hoping someone cand help me solve this problem.
    Have recently changed to BT after a house move and now having problems with email. I use a private email domain and send and recieve using windows mail software. Previously with talktalk all I had to do was add mail.talktalk.net in the SMTP outgoing option in windows mail, but since moving to BT obviously this needs changed. I tried mail.btinternet in the smtp, but that does't work, then I read that I needed to setup a @btinternet.com mail and then add my private non bt mails address to btmail and would recieve a verification mail. tried that but don't get a verification mail. Tried BT help but all they suggest is I pay £24 for their tech help.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    These are my settings for doing that:
    The account is set up as an alternate email for me in my BT Yahoo account settings, and if I remember right there was a verification step when I set it up.

  • Auditing Scenarios (non tech)

    Non tech question on audit logs and determining what you need to switch on, and most importantly, WHY.
    Can I ask Oracle DBA’s if you have ever been responsible for defining, documenting and implementing and audit logging and monitoring policy for your critical database(s)? Did you come up with the actual scenarios for which you are turning the audit logs on in the database, and if so are you willing to share some scenarios where there is sensitive data in the database? Say if the database had personal/sensitive data (i.e. medical/health records), so there would be perhaps medium motive for people to misuse the data/gain unauthorised access.
    I basically want to lay out, for scenario X, Y and Z, unless you audit A, B and C, these actions aren’t traceable to an individual/workstation. Any help you can give would be most useful. Or any “scenarios” you can add would help, i.e. admin Y decides to go rogue and dump the entire database and sell to the local media.

    Hi;
    Its deeply question, but if you have soo sensetive data you need to enable monitoring and also monitor DBA activities, there are many documents avaliable about this topic in net.
    We also prefer to keep our strong password in case for case sensetive dbs and also sperate password between dba's and managers.
