Multiple facetime connections?
Good day Apple support community,
I wanted to know if Facetime has the ability to have multiple connections at one time.
I'd like to have up to 20-30 people connected to one username (if possible).
If this isn't possible does anyone know of any solutions that are native to OS X that I can use?
No FaceTime is not capable of more than one connection at a time. iChat can do a conference call of you and three others.
You will likely need to contact a company that provides conference calls for large groups. That type of enterprise requires a lot of bandwidth.

Facetime works fine with iMac and iPhone but has multiple weak connection /reconnecting issues on iPad. Any ideas?
Probably not a FaceTime problem but a wifi connection problem.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have a MBP, iPhone 4s, iPad 3, and iPad Mini. When I have an incoming FaceTime call, how do I choose which device the call is sent to/accepted by? I thought (today) of having each device accept for a single email address or phone number. I don't yet understand how FaceTime connections are made. I have the email address of a person I want to connect with FaceTime. That person's iPad (the only device) never receives the connection request. Is there a document or tutorial on connecting with multiple devices, et?
MikeHello there Mike,
Here is some information about FaceTime. The way FaceTime works is if you have multiple devices and they are all using the same Apple ID, then they will ALL get the request when somebody sends your Apple ID a request. Likewise, when you are sending a request to someone, it must be to their Apple ID or Cellular number. So to do what you mentioned, each device would have to be using its own Apple ID and thats not typically recommended as it can get very confusing.
This page tells you more about it and at the bottom shows how to set it up

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2. When using Calendar, all the events were
duplicated on my husbands iMac. On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID. I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication. When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone. These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
I have two questions: 1) How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
Time Capsule. I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule. If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through. Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
Thanks for any help.The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)
Good morning everybody,
I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
show authentication sessions:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
What I want to get is an output like this:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
interface FastEthernet0/x
description Connection to DUMBswitch
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan XXX
switchport port-security maximum 10
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation protect
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication priority dot1x
authentication port-control auto
authentication timer reauthenticate 4000
authentication violation replace
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
- PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
- When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
Thank you
Stoimen HristovHi Stoimen,
I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

I am having difficuties in maintaining a Facetime connection through my ipad 2. It will generally work for 20 seconds or so, and then the frame freezes. Sometimes we have audio with a freeze frame picture. It is difficult to maintain the attention of a 2 year grandson anyway, but the the lost connections make it impossible. Any fixes?
This is a connection problem with wifi. Either your wifi is failing, or your internet service is not fast enough for video feed.

Problem about financial reporting studio(assign multiple db connection)
Hi,
I need to assign multiple database connections to a grid in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio
To do this, I performed the following steps:
- Open a report.
- In a grid, select one column for which I want to change the database connection.
- In the Column Properties sheet, click the Select Database Connection button, .
- In the Select a Database Connection dialog box, select a database connection from the Database Connection drop-down list, then Click OK.
- In the Map Dimensions Between... dialog box, map dimensions between the default database connection and the selected database connection. I do this by selecting a dimension from the pull-down list in the right column for each dimension in the left column.
- Optional: Select an alias table for the new database connection.
- Click OK.
But after last step I have received next error:
*; nested exception is:*
java.lang.NullPointerException
Can someone explain the source of this error?
And help me please solve this problem because I didn’t receive figures in that column where I changed database connection.
Thank you in advance!I'm sure that both DB connections has the same dimension hierarchy. I can open the repot, but in it I don't see figures in that column where I've changed database connection...

Does Airport Express support multiple ethernet connections via a switch?
If I use the following configuration, with the Airport Express extending my network, will it handle multiple devices connected via a switch?
Modem---Airport Extreme- - -802.11n- - -Airport Express---Switch---multiple devices (eg. network printer and iMac).
Or do I need to use a second Airport Extreme instead?It works for me—even when the AirPort Express device is configured to extend the wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme router.

Hi,
I have two IDLE enabled IMAP accounts and I'm trying to work out if everything is working properly as it doesn't feel like it is.
When I check netstat it shows multiple established connections for each account which seems to many for it to be right.
Any thoughts on what to check? Server is showing two connections which would be right.
Thanks,
AdamIf you must have a 1-1 app user/connection to database user/connection, then using a DatabaseSession would probably be the easiest solution. The means that each user would create and connect to their own DatabaseSession when they login to the app. You could still share the same TopLink project instance to reduce some of the connecting/initialization overhead, but there would be no way to pool connections. Using a DatabaseSession would not allow for any shared caching across users.
Do you need to be connected as the user for reading, or just for writing to the database? If you can use a shared user/connection for reading, then you could use a ServerSession and have a shared cache. Define the shared user in the ServerSession, and when each user connects acquire a ClientSession through the acquireClientSession(DatabaseLogin) API, which allows you to specify the user/password to connect as for writing.
In TopLink 10.1.3 you may also wish to investigate the VPD and exclusive client connection support. This allows for some of your data to be read through a user/VPD secure connection, and other shared data to still be cached. It also allows for the user/VPD to be switched on a pooled connection. -
Does anyone know of a way to get my PODCAST and Email applications to use multiple WLAN connections?
I spend most of my day in one of two places, each with a different WLAN, and I'd the phone to have the sense to change WLAN connection as they become available.
Thanks for your time.Depends, on what your phone is.
If you're using an N97 or a 5800, or anything running on s60v5 for that matter, Go to Menu>Settings>Connectivity>Wireless LAN>Options>Settings>Show WLAN availability. Then you can also set how often it will set to scan for WLAN connections. This would allow the phone to scan for WLAN hotspots around you immediately. Be warned however that this will drain your battery faster.
On an s60v3 phone, I am not very familiar but from what I know its in Menu>Tools>Connectivity>Wireless LAN>Options>Settings>Show WLAn availability.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks. -
Hi all,
Can MCAK handle multiple AWS connections in current version?
If not, if there is a plan let me know.
My customer would like to use multiple AWS regions (e.g. US-East and Tokyo) because of BCP/DR.
thanks,
Jun KojimaYes, Multi-Cloud is designed to support multiple connections across the same or multiple platforms. You can even have multiple connections to the same AWS region using different accounts to facilitate chargeback allocation. You also have the option to specify and availability zone.
PS. A new version of the Multi-Cloud kit will be available late February along with CIAC Enterprise Edition 3.1.1 offering full future upgradeability. For AWS, it will also support elastic IP and the management and distribution of keypairs.The current MCAK for Starter Edition is recommended for proof of concept only at this point.
