Mobile Sync and Language Settings

Every one in our houshold uses mobile accounts on a few computers. No matter which computer you take, you can login with your server account. These are not network accounts, but mobile accounts with portable home directories (PHD) (so you can take the macbook with you) and they are synchronized with the server. My kids use the Dutch langauge for their OS interface. I manage everyone's preferences for mobility.
I found out the following: if you (for instance) add ~/Music to the skip list for home sync (so it all stays on one system), it turns out it does not work. I have to type that as ~/Muziek (Dutch word for Music). Hence: if a user of mine changes language settings he or she circumvents the managed preferences on this point. I find this completely unexpected. I would have thought that this would have been implemented at the unix level.
Ugh. I can understand the difficulties involved (e.g. translating a regex from one language to another is a no-go), but at least the language setting could have been well integrated with managing settings.
At least I would like to set the language for a user then, so I can control which interface language is used (and adapt the PHD rules accordingly). But I haven't been able to find a setting for that. Probably I have to set it once and after that manage acces too language in System Preferences? Is there a better way?

I always like to back things up to an external hard drive though. Get a western digital external 1tb hard drive for 50 bucks online. Great thing to have. You can store all music and movies on there and free up that space on your computer so it runs smoother

Regional and Language Settings for Window and BEX Style

Hi All,
When I change the Regional and Language Settings for Windows, Standards and Formats value to English (USA) the standard Style for BEX is active. For instance, input-ready cell is bordered with blue. But when I switch to Turkish this style is not active.
Additionally, I have to change Style for each Workbook one by one. How can we adopt a style to every workbook.
Regards,

Lars,
This is a setting on the 'Defaults' tab in the User Profile. This can be set when a new user is set-up in SU01, or it can be changed by each user according to personal preference in SU3. I'm sure there is a system table where these settings are stored that could probably be edited for all users, if that is desired, but I don't know which table that would be off the top of my head.
Hope this helps...

Update 9.1.0.79 Mobile Sync and Yahoo Go Sync error when sync iphone 3G

Every time I synce I get the two errors - Mobile Sync and Yahoo go Sync stop working. iPhone has 3.1.3 version. Also, backup takes longer. Please advise.

notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

Lightroom Mobile sync and 2 computers

Hi All,
I've looked but I can't see a specific answer to this question, so I thought I'd make it my first posting.
I've just subscribed to Creative Cloud for Lightroom. I liked the idea of being able to sync different devices and continue work whilst I'm out, but I made a massive assumption that, I think, turns out not to be correct.
I thought that once I had synchronised a collection with the cloud, I could access it on my mobile device. This is true, and works well.
But, I also thought that if I had a 2nd computer with Lightroom on, it could also be used to work on the synchronised collection. It turns out that this isn't the case.
It seems such an obvious use case to me, especially given that when you subscribe to Creative Cloud, you can use Lightroom on 2 machines.
Here's my situation.
I have a Mac Pro in the house which is the main work station. I have a MacBook Air, I use when I'm out and about. I want to be able to use the MBA to at least do my "picks" when I'm travelling. I know I can use my iPhone/iPad for that, but the screen on the MBA is so much better, plus if I really wanted to, I could do a bit of developing on the MBA (I don't really see myself ever doing it on a Mobile device).
Am I missing something? Is there a way to get Lightroom on my MBA to see the 'Mobile' version of the collection the iPhone can see?

You can't do this using the normal desktop Lightroom application on your laptop, but what you can do is use Lightroom Web via your browser on any computer.
So on the MBA, go into your browser and log into your Adobe account at https://lightroom.adobe.com/. You can then:
use the P, U, X keyboard shortcuts to add pick flags
use numbers 0-5 to add ratings
remove photos from collections
let others see a collection by making it public, sharing to FB etc, giving them the Adobe URL
add new originals to LrMobile by dragging them from the laptop's folders and dropping them in the browser - the newly uploaded file will be automatically added to your main catalogue. Try this, it's got lots of potential uses.
What you can't do is email individual pictures from the browser (unless I overlooked something) and you can't do any Develop work.

ASPIRE V3-471G WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE LOCALE AND LANGUAGE SETTINGS

When I first tried to upgrade from Windows 7 Home basic to windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, I got the "Something Happened" message. so I googled the problem and found out that the Language and locale should be compatible with each other.So what I did was go into Windos 7 settings and set the Language, Region, Keyboard to English USA saved the settings as new user then reboot the laptop. I then again checked the settings for uniformity as English USA. Upgrade using the Tool went on smoothly but took 3 hours because of the big download. For everyones information. Further Information here

@MattheusSilva Btw how did you activate windows 10? I thought you first need to download and install the update>get windows 10 activated and then you can get your key so you can do a clean install with a dvd. I can't even get past the install stage so I can get it activated to get my new key.

Sync and mail settings

Ok
my setting for my mail accounts are the same on my mbp and my 4S
How come when I sync, the settings on the 4s changes ?

It sounds like you might have two Apple IDs (maybe one for @me and one for iTunes with a different email?). Log out of iCloud and log in using your @me address that you already have.

Syncing and Clock Settings/Adjustment

Hi Everyone
I don't know if any of you do that, but I have the habit to moving my clock forward to make sure I'm on time.
All my clocks show a different time ( macbook +15 mn, Iphone +20mn )
I know it's a bit silly,but it helps me to be on time.
However it becomes a problem when all the sudden the Iphone shows the same time as my laptop.
It first happened after I sync, then I made sure to turn Off the Automatic Date and Time on the Iphone.
(General /Datre Time /Set Automatically OFF)
But When I recently upgraded to IOS 6, out of nowhere it adjusted to the laptop clock settings, althought the Iphone was still set to OFF.
What do you think causes that?
How Can I avoid it?
is it ueo to IOS upgrade?
Thanks for your help

Hi, Gothboy -
If the PMU reset that Tom suggests does not fix the problem, then try a reset of NVRAM -
- Start the computer and immediately hold down Command-Option-O-F
- When the computer starts it should open into a prompt screen (Open Firmware).
- Press Return, you will see OK.
- Type reset-nvram include the dash, here and below.
- Press Return
- Type set-defaults
- Press Return
- Type reset-all
- Press Return
The system should restart. If not, try typing exit or shutdown, or you can manually restart the system.
Note - some machines may return "unknown word" in response to the reset-nvram instruction; if that happens, try init-nvram instead.

ITunes 5 and language settings

I've just installed the latest iTunes 5.0.0.35 and even though I downloaded the correct language version (English), when installing it I get iTunes in Swedish. I don't want the Swedish version but somehow I'm stuck with it. I seem to recall that iTunes 4,8 had a language setting in preferences but this seems to be missing in iTunes 5. Any ideas on how to get iTunes 5 to install in English?

You will find this issue discussed in the forum for iTunes for Windows -- nothing to do with the iPod.

World clock and language settings

LS, If I have my iPod set to local language (Dutch), the world clock shouws all cities in the US as been in the Netherlands, i.e.: Las Vegas, Netherlands. When the laguange set is English, cities are shown correctly, i.a. Atlanta, US. My S/W version is 1.1.2; anybody any thoughts here? THX.

mh, works fine for me, so I guess it's not a general firmware bug.
you could try to restore your ipod, I think that should help.

Regional and Language Settings problems

Post Author: DanaRaluca
CA Forum: General
Hi everybody,
I have to display some information written in Romanian. If I have a static (Romanian) text(Text Object), then everything is OK:
(Here is the text object copied from the Report: dana_test_şŞ_ţŢ)
The problem appears if the text is saved into a database table. In this second situation, some characters(ş,Ş, ţ and Ţ) are displayed incorrectly.
(Here is the database field's value copied from the same Report: dana_test_ªº_Þþ)
If I select the same values from the database (e.g. using SQLTools), then all characters are shown correctly.
(SQL: SELECT Description FROM TestRo WHERE Article LIKE 'dm_TestRo%';
Result: dana_test_Şş_Ţţ)
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jelena,
The DG4MSQL doesn't support MSQL 2008 without a patch. Go to My Oracle Support and download and apply patch 7623456 for the platform where you are running the gateway.
If you still have problems then either update here again or open a SR using MOS.

CUP 5.3 SP8 - Language Settings/Language on Requestor Screen

CUP Experts/Users,
We are on CUP 5.3 SP8. There are several issues related to language
settings within CUP. Our default language in Configuration->Miscellaneous is English.
- When a Requestor logs on to create in a language other than English,
most of the fields within CUP are translated to that language. However,
some values are not translated to that language. For example, we have
created 3 priority levels; High, Medium, and Low. When a Requestor logs
in in Spanish to create a request in Spanish, they are still
seeing "High, Medium, and Low." So obviously CUP is not translating
these values for us...But I am not seeing anywhere in configuration where I
can put the Spanish version of these values? Also, when I create a
custom field, this value too is not getting translated and I see no
where in configuration where I can do this? Any ideas?
- When a Requestor logs on to create in a language other than English,
the SAP menus still remain in our default langauge of English.
Shouldn't these be translated to the user's requested language? For
example, when a user creates a request and chooses the language of
Spanish and gets logged in, the values on the left-side control panel
still read:
Request Access
Request Status
Support
User Login
Shouldn't these be converted to Spanish? Is this a bug?
A greater understanding of CUP languages and language settings would
also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jes Behrens

That certainly makes sense. I didn't expect CUP would have a smart language translator
So the question is; how do I enter data/create configuration pieces in multiple languages?
For example, If I create a custom Request Type called "Change Production Security," I want to be able to enter this for multiple languages, i.e. when a someone logs in in Spanish it would show the Spanish version of that Request Type. Currently, I see no where to do this in configuration and this is a a pretty important step.
The static Request Types that come with CUP, such as "Change Account," comes in different languages. So somewhere in CUP table, there's an entry for "Change Account" in various languages. How do I access this table? Is there a tool I can use to even find this table? Is this even possible?
Thanks again!

Language settings and Google

I like to keep my iPhone's language and regional settings in Japanese. This in turn redirects all Google related activity to google.co.jp (and Wikipedia also goes to .co,jp), but I want to keep it to google.com so that my search results are in English. Is there a way to do this without changing the language and regional settings?

Pretty sure not. I'd see if maybe you get different behavior from using the Google app, or the Bing app, or a different browser, or setting a different default search provider in Mobile Safari.
You aren't the first person with this type of complaint, so it may be worth sending feedback to Apple:

[SCCM 2012 SP1 W2K8R2] SUP not in Sync with WSUS settings (Language)

Hi All,
I have almost identical production and test SCCM environment.
After I setup SUP on both production and test environment SUP Language settings are not replicated to WSUS and cause WSUS/SCCM to Sync all languages.
SCCM 2012:
WSUS:
Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Hi,
There is nothing to fix, it looks exactly the same in my environment. The updates are not downloaded using WSUS it is downloaded using either the SCCM console or the SCCM Primary Site server if you use and ADR and when you download the updates the settings
are beeing honoured.
So this is expected behaviour.

Outlooky sync and Mobile Numbers (General Mobile, ...

Hello,
I have a have a few Contacts in my E51 that contains more than 1 Mobile phone number, for Example:
Sandra Surname
General Mobile 1234
Home Mobile 5678
Business Mobile 9876
Is there any way to transfer all her numbers into Outlook?
I have two PCs, one with Outlook 2007 and one with Outlook 2003.
Unfortunately, Outlook has only one field for Mobile Numbers called "Mobile".
And that’s the problem, a phone Contact could contain 3 different mobile numbers, an
outlook contact only 1.
Fortunately, Outlook offers the possibility to add User defined address field. I added “Home Mobile” and “Business Mobile”. Is there any way to map the address field within the phone, with my user defined address fields in outlook?
I'm using Nokia Pc Sync 7.1.18.0, it seems to be the latest Version.
English is not my native language, and I hope that I explained my problem correctly, so that everybody could understand what I mean...
Kind regards ML1982

Hello
I'm using
1 General Mobile
1 Home Mobile
1 Business Mobile
And these numbers are synced correctly with the PC Suite. But nice to know, that 2 Mobile numbers of the same kind also cause problems...
My problem is the sync funtionality with Outlook.
But if I consider the post you mentioned and my post, i come to the conclusion that the whole sync function is **bleep**.
I used Sony Erricson and "floats mobile agent" before, maybe in 10 years "PC Suite" is as good as "floats mobile agent"...
