Match question--Why do I still need local storage?

I signed up for Match so I would no longer have to worry about onsite storage for my 18,000 song library. But after five days of loading, when I disconnect onsite storage, I can't access my library. What am I doing wrong here?

When I try to delete a song in my iTunes library that has already been uploaded via Match to the cloud, I get a dialog box asking if you are sure want to delete it. Under that, there is a little check box that says "Also delete this song from iCloud?". When I tried it worked (for me) exactly how I'd expect. I was able to re-download the song as long as I left the check box unchecked. So, if this is true, you could *theoretically* get rid of what's stored on your disk. But keeping your library in only one place, be it a hard drive or the cloud, is never a really bad idea. And since Match is a new, buggy, unproven service, it's a huge risk.
Plus, once a song is downloaded, it takes up space and you'll just need to get rid of it again.
And if you have anything besides music in your iTunes library, it won't be backed up to the cloud, so you'll still need the disk storage for that.
"Stream" was the wrong word to use, but I can understand why they chose it.
BTW, the second time iTunes Match looks through your library is significantly quicker. My 14,423 songs take about 5 minutes and run in the background.
Hope that helps answer some of your questions.

With iCloud Photos why do we still need Photo Stream

After installing Yosemite I set up iCloud photos on my iMac, phones and iPads and it works fine. Why do I still need or have selections for Photo Stream? Wouldn't that go away?

I had exported all of my photos from iPhoto and then used the Photos app on iCloud.com to upload them. At this time, only JPEGs are able to be uploaded via iCloud.com. I had a few PNGs in my collection, which I email to myself and using one of my iCloud Photo Library enabled devices saved the photo which uploads it to iCloud Photo Library that way.
Some decisions have to be made on how you export from iPhoto/Aperture and thus which photo versions you'll be copying to iCloud Photo Library. Uploading photos to iCloud Photo Library using iCloud.com does not upload a version that contains non-destructive edits. For example, let's say using iPhoto you did a crop and changed contrast. You then export the Current version of the photo and upload the file to iCloud.com. You cannot then use your iPhone and select Revert to original to get rid of that crop and contrast change you performed in iPhoto. The file you uploaded with the edits WAS the original in this case. You can make additional edits to the photo on your iPhone or iPad and Revert those changes however.
Now, if you like the way your photos currently are in your library and those are the versions you want to work with going forward, then in iPhoto choose Export and change Kind to Current. Then, upload those.
If you want to upload clean, unedited, start from scratch photos, then change Kind to Original when you export from iPhoto and upload those.
The other option is to just wait until the Photos app comes out for the Mac which will more than likely be able to upload all of the nondestructive edits done in iPhoto. In my case, I chose to upload unedited originals. Hope this helps. Sorry for rambling.

HT4914 I have iTunes Match. Why is music still taking up space on my iPhone?

I just purchased iTunes Match. Why is my music still taking up space on my iPhone?

If you have iTunes Match, yes the idea of that is that you have access to all your music from anywhere. If you access it though you will be downloading it, in order to play the music you have chosen to play, once downloaded, that music will stay on your device unless you delete it.
Music that is on your phone will show up as normal, music that is only in the cloud will have a cloud icon next to it, when downloaded the cloud icon will disappear, if you delete it again the cloud icon will disappear again.
In the example below, all my albums by Matt Schofield are on my phone, the others would need downloading.
Photo's are different they kept on your device and only synced to the cloud so they can be pushed to other devices.

Why do i still need to render if in prores422lt?

i was wondering why i still need to render in a timeline that is 422LT and the clip i just dropped in is also 422LT? is it because the clip isn't the same dimensions as the timeline? for example my timeline is 1920, but the clip i am dropping in is from a screenshot that is 1680x1050. the front bumpers and titles are already dropped in and they are at 1920, and when i drop in the smaller clip with the same codec, it shows as red.

The best thing to do is to screen capture in the frame resolution of your program. Watch the frame rate on the delivered SnapzPro media. The frame rate is usually screwy and has to be fixed in Cinema Tools.

HT5312 I'm just trying to buy some things on the App Store and they ask me about those stupid Apple ID security questions I mean why do we still need to answer them if we forgot the answer do I wasted 15$ ****** for nothing I mean the money is still

Someone bought me a itunes gift card and it doesn't work cause this stupid Apple ID ask me to answer the questions I mean hello I'm the only one using it why do I need to answer these question?

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.

(Why) do we still need primatives?

I think the answer, sadly, is that we do, if only for things like array indexing and tracking looping iterations, not to mention conformity with existing API. What else?
There are at least 2 reasons to get rid of primatives, as I see it:
1. Using primitives you must make a compile time decision about what range of values and how much accuracy (rounding errors & such) those using your code in the future will need. By abstracting with with BigInteger and BigDecimal you don't have to limit yourself.
2. primitives and primitive arrays are such a special case, since they are not objects (ok, a primitive array is an object, but with no methods)
Thoughts?

I'm always surprised when people think we can get rid of primitives. Just try writing a high performance matrix inversion or FFT or other mathematically intensive algorithm without them. If Java had no primitive 'int' and 'double' I would have to go back to using C++ and I would hate that.
Rather than get rid of primitives I would like to add to them. I would like double complex, float complex, unsigned int, unsigned long and unsigned byte but the mere suggestion of including these in the Java language puts some people into apoplexy. They start crossing themselves and they tell me to wash my mouth out with soap in much the same way as when I suggest adding operator overloading.
In a few years when computers are 100 times as fast and have 100 times as much memory then I might consider doing without primitives but not yet.and yet you claim to hate C++ but that is (very nearly) what you would be turning Java into. Inconsistency is a sure sign of insanity.
Kidding just kidding.Although you are kidding it does have some truth. C++ is a great language and I made a living out of it for years. For some reason, some people seem to think that C++ can be an alternative to Java for those people who want to change Java. This is not the case. When I first used C++ it was so much better than C and FORTRAN but the limitations and the complexity it exhibited made people ask for changes. Some of the purists resisted the changes arguing that C++ was designed that way and that if you didn't like some of the features then you should go back to C or FORTRAN or PL/M . The argument does not seem to have changed - just the base Language. Languages evolve as people get experience of using them and find the warts that they exhibit. These warts need to be removed and the only question seems to be which warts are necessary and which would just be nice to remove. Some C++ warts were removed but the removal sometimes adds more problems (C++ templates are a prime example but I would not get rid of them). Java is an advance on C++ but should not be static.
Java has evolved since I first met it as 1.02 and for the most part I like the new evolved features. I still have reservations about the need for 'closures' but just because I don't see the need does not mean that there is no need for them. I just don't use them but maybe I will when I understand the best place to use them. I don't want Java to be static and not evolve because though Java is a good language and has brilliant libraries it is not perfect.
I find it really weird that the youngsters here seem to be the conservatives and I, probably being the oldest regular contributor to these forums, am the revolutionary.

Added HP ePrint printer to Cloud Print so why do I still need my PC running?

I added the email address of my HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer to Cloud Print, so why do I need to have my PC running when I print to it? It doesn't seem to work if the PC isn't on.

Hello Iria,
I'm sorry to hear you are encountering difficulties when trying to print via Cloud Print. I'm presuming that you mean Google Cloud Print.
To better understand the issue would you please provide me with some further information:
1) How is your printer setup (USB cable, Ethernet, or wirelessly)?
2) What operating system are you running?
3) What type of device are you trying to print from when the computer is off?
I have also included links to the Google Cloud Print Support Section.

Do I still need to pay full amount of family plan payment during suspending one of member's line?

I am currently in family plan with two other lines.
Our monthly access charge is $129.96.
Now, one of members will go to Asia for three months and want to suspend her line.
My question is, will we still need to pay full amount of monthly access charges during one of lines is suspended for three months? Or Can we get discounted?
Thank u so much for your help!

Good afternoon! Thank you vereyezuhn for your responses! That is correct that you have the option to suspend with or without billing, and you contract, as well as your upgrade eligibility may be extended.
A few things to clarify...
If you suspend via My Verizon or the IVR, (Interactive Voice Response), you will not be charged the $15.00 processing fee.
If you go into a store or call Customer Service for your service to be suspended, you will be charged a $15.00 processing fee, whether you suspend with out without billing.
If you suspend with billing, your usage and allowance will not be prorated, your contract end date and upgrade date will not be extended.
If you suspend without billing, all of your features will be suspended and not be charged, your usage and allowance will be prorated when suspended and restored. Your contract end date, upgrade eligibility, (and security deposit) will be extended by the amount of time the account is suspended without billing.
As vereyezuhn mentioned, your line can be suspended up to 90 days.
I trust this information is helpful.
Thank you,

Do you still need EJB when you can do it all with JSF/JSC?

I think EJBs make J2EE unnecessarily complex for 80% of small to mid or even some large scale applications. When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders), why do you still need EJBs? I have heard nightmares with EJBs deployment and how its complex to move them over from test to production servers.
Are EJBs getting obsolete and not worth learning? Afterall, in the Microsoft world, there is nothing like EJB and all they got is ASP.NET (similar to JSF) -- along with its associated data classes and .NEt framework. I am sure they also promote separating logic from presentation.
I think JSF is the best thing Java world has got to compete with Microsoft on developer productivity for small to medium size applications.

J2EE EJB's are far from being a holy grial capable of solving any situation. They are complex, difficult to learn and code, but we need to be fair and tell the whole story.
EJB's are part of the J2EE technology and offer infrastructure needed in complex applications. I.E., you mention
"When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders)"
but these are only database level transactions. The J2EE app servers can handle global (and distributed) transactions involving different operations over different databases and transactions ruled by non-database software. Just imagine the complexity of handling a "rollback" of this kind. Put that in .NET pipe and try to smoke it.
J2EE EJB Entity Beans were the black sheep of the family. They were oriented to easily handle fine operations (i.e. update a specific record of information) but on the other hand present a poor performance in operations over large sets of data. You can do some optimizations but..... Now the story is a bit different with JavaEE 5 and the Java Persistence API -inspired on Hibernate-.
The bottom line is (as you mention in your post): J2EE/JavaEE are not needed by most of small or mid sized apps. However, I would strongly encourage you to have a look at the JavaEE 5 technology. The fact that portions of the JavaEE technology do not have a counterpart in .NET does not mean that they are not worth to (at least) have a look at them.

Do we still need to use extended classic for 2-tier tender in SRM 7 ehp 1

Hi All,
Currently we are implement SRM 7.0 SR1 classic senario. Due to the user request for 2-tier tendering, hence we need to activate the public sector (PS) config. But PS only can work with extended classic. Which means we are doing tendering but the PO will be generate in ECC6.
Now we are going to upgrade to SRM 7 ehp1. As I know the 2-tier tendering features will be in standard template without activating the PS config. Question here, do we still need to activate the extended classic in SRM 7 ehp 1 if finish end-to-end 2-tier tendering process and going to generate PO at ECC6.
Best regards,
Wind

hello
Check if you can implemnted the Badi BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI. In This badi you can control the scenari clasic extended and clasic.

Do we still need OS 9 ?

Hello!
I've got installed OS 9.2.2 together with OS 10.3.9.
I'm ready to install 10.4. Because of space nedd I will erase previous OS, data etc and intall(erase and install)
My question is: Do we still need to have OS 9 install in my TiPowerbook 500Mhz?.
Thanks
Javier

Javier,
A great laptop. Only you will now if you still need OS9. Do you still run any applications / games that require OS9 ? Even just occaisionally ?
Not having OS9 even installed rules out the possibility of running these under Classic.
OS9 will only amount to a few hundred MB, even less if it's trimmed down to run only in Classic. It's up to you to decide if those extra few MB is worth "burning your ships" over.
For less than the price of Tiger you could invest in a 80Gb or 100Gb drive for your PBG4, like I did, and many, many others. It's your money so I'm not going to say you must buy one, but if space problems are becoming an issue on the original 20gb you'll have to upgrade soon anyway.
Doing it now would give you the perfect backout plan if Tiger doesn't do it for you (it will, don't worry), put the new drive in, install Tiger fresh on that (not forgetting to install OS9 drivers when formatting, if you think you may need it).
I hardly ever go into OS9 in my PBG4 any more, but I still wouldn't remove it, I know I have too much older software that I might want to run again (and sometimes do).

Live migration to HA failed leaving VHD on local storage and VM in cluster = Unsupported Cluster Configuration

Hi all
Fun one here, I've been moving non-HA VMs to a HA and everything has been working perfectly until now. All this is being performed on Hyper-V 2012R2, Windows Server 2012R2 and VMM 2012R2.
For some reason on the VMs failed the migration with an error 10608 "Cannot create or update a highly available virtual machine because Virtual Machine Manager could not locate or access Drive:\Folder" The odd thing is the drive\folder is
a local storage one and I selected a CSV in the migration wizard.
The net result is that the VM is half configured into the cluster but the VHD is still on local storage. Hence the "unsupported cluster configuration" error.
The question is how do I roll back? I either need to get the VM out of the cluster and back into a non-HA state or move the VHD onto the CSV. Not sure if the latter is really a option.
I've foolishly clicked "Ignore" on the repair so now I can't use the "undo" option (brain fade moment on my part).
Any help gratefully received as I'm a bit stuck with this.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Simar
Thanks for the advice, I've now got the VM back in a stable state and running HA.
Just to finish off the thread for future I did the following
- Shutdown the VM
- Remove the VM from the Failover Cluster Manager (as you say this did leave the VM configuration intact)
- I was unable to import the VM as per your instructions so I copied the VHD to another folder on the local storage and took a note of the VM configuration.
- Deleted the VM from VMM so this removed all the configuration details/old VHD.
- Built a new VM using the details I saved from the point above
- Copied the VHD into the new VMs folder and attached it to the VM.
- Started it up and reconfigured networking
- Use VMM to make the VM HA.
I believe I have found the reason for the initial error, it appears there was a empty folder in the Snapshot folder, probably from an old Checkpoint that hadn't cleaned up properly when it was deleted.
The system is up and running now so thanks again for the advice.
Rob

Do I still need an STB to receive the FiOS Local Only service on a NTSC TV?

Unfortunately, due to the failing economy, I am considering downgrading my FiOS Essentials package to just the Local Only package ($12.99 vs. $47.99 per month). Would I still need to rent a Set Top Box to receive FiOS local only channels on a NTSC set? If so, does it need to be my current Standard Def. box or would the cheaper Digital Adapter do the job? I presume that a basic digital-to-analog converter box would not work with FiOS, even on just local channels. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks.

BlurryEyed wrote.... I presume that a basic digital-to-analog converter box would not work with FiOS, even on just local channels.
I assume you are referring to the converter boxes that are part of the government coupon program and the answer is they won't work with FiOS. Those boxes decode ATSC (terrestrial modulation method) and FiOS uses QAM.
