Question about going idle.

Can I set a setting so that iChat doesn't make me go idle?
Because yesterday was the first time I used iChat in a while and I set an away message up. Then I noticed that that away message just randomly changed to an idle status.
Is there a way that I can completely disable the idle function?
Or at least keep my away message up while I'm idle.
P.S. I'm using iChat 4.0.3. (I'm not sure if that would make a difference)

Go to ichats prefs/accounts/security and tick the box "block others from seeing that i am idle"

Questions about going to multiple iCloud IDs for Family

My wife and I have an iPhone and we also have an iPad that stays at the house everyone uses including our kids. I've always had my Apple ID logged in to the store part so we can share all paid apps and music. The iPad also has my id logged in under iCloud so it's using the iCloud ID that is associated with my store ID, which is the same as my gmail account. If I want to change that one to the family one like the guide on iMore talks about, would I do the following steps or am I missing something? Say for this my gmail is [email protected] and it also gave me [email protected] [email protected]
Existing iCloud/iTunes account:
Login to manage my apple ID and change the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" from [email protected] to the alternate of [email protected]? Do I have to use [email protected] or can I create a new icloud email called [email protected] and set that as my "Apple ID and Primary Email Address"?
Create New iCloud IDs:
I created a new iCloud Email address/account for me and my wife. We would each sign in to our own under iCloud to have seperate storage and to have find my friends work.
We would each continue to setup our gmail accounts as exchange.
By doing this, and going on the phone and changing the store login to [email protected] or [email protected], would that still have all my purchases moved from the [email protected] to the [email protected]?

It's not necessary to merge the iCloud and iTunes Store accounts. The Family Organizer should use their own iCloud account when setting up Family Sharing. You'll also be asked to supply the iTunes Store account you want to use to share music, movies, apps, etc., with your family during the setup process. It appears Apple has already addressed this common problem.

Question about going to next or previous record

Hi there,
I have a data block which is not based on table. It is a multi record block that gets populated with default values depending on some value on the previous tab. This item called "description" has also a LOV attached to it. The user should have the option of keeping the default values or clicking on LOV to change the value for each record. Each LOV is different and depends on default value.
Cursor is in last record. I click on LOV the correct lov pops up. click on previous record by just clicking on the record and not using (previous record button from toolbar) and click on LOV, incorrect LOV is shown. It is showing the LOV from the last record.
But if I click on previous record button, correct LOV gets populated.
Which trigger should I use to solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
I would use the when-new-record-instance trigger to kick off your logic.
Where is it called from at present - post-query?
The previous & next record keys do the same as key-up & key-down but using the mouse forms will not fire this logic for any records passed over. We had a similar problem with validation and had to disable mouse navigation for that form so we could just trap key movement.
Regards
Kevin

Questions about going from Trial Version to Academic Version?

1.) I'm using a trial version of LR and adding keywords through it. I'm planning to purchase the Academic version with the next few weeks. I'm assuming that everything I do with the trial version will also open up in the Academic version? All my keywording, etc.
2.) I am starting with Lightroom on my Macbook Pro notebook with the trial account and am tagging images, and want to move all the images later to my desktop Macpro computer when I purchase the academic version of LR. Is this a bad idea for any reason? Will I be able to easily transfer everything without LR getting confused for any reason?
Thanks.

Changes made in Lightroom such as keywords still need to be written out to the files if they are visible in other applications as Lightroom is a database that contains changes in a non-destrcutive manner. You can do this by turning on Autowrite to Xmp in Catalog Settings or by selecting all your files and ctrl/cmd-s (the usual save settings. Lightroom does NOT contain image files, they stay where they are on your HD and does NOT back up the image files. A Lightroom back up only backs up the Catalog file itself.
If you stop using Lightroom development changes would only be visisble in ACR, to see them in other applications you would need to export the files as Tiffs, etc which will contain the changes made. This would be just the same if you used Canon's DPP, nothing else can read changes.

Question about going from source monitor into timeline prior to going into program monitor?

In FCP you had to take a clip from the equivalent of the Source Monitor to the Program Monitor and either do an insert or overwite edit with the clip from there. I see that Premiere has insert and overwrite buttons built right into the Source monitor window. Are there any issues with doing it all from here and not dragging them into the Program Monitor first?
Thanks.

Typical NLE behavior is to go from the Source Monitor to the Timeline. The Program Monitor shows whatever is in the timeline. If FCP forced you to go from Source to Program, and then to timeline, that is very unusual behavior for an NLE since, again, the Program monitor is supposed to show you what's in the timeline.
What PP now allows you to do is drag a clip from Source to Program, but this will simultaneously add the clip to the timeline because, as I said, the Program Monitor's purpose is to show you what's in the timeline. With most any NLE out there, if it ain't in the timeline, it won't show up in the Program Monitor. And if it shows up in the Program Monitor, then it must already be in the timeline.

Going Abroad - Question About Voltage Converter Stuff

Hello, so I am going abroad for a few months (the Netherlands), and I have a question about voltage converter stuff. All of the voltage converters I can find say powers heat-producing appliances rated 500-1600 and converts foreign voltage of 220-240 volts to U.S. voltage 110-120. However, it says not to use on appliances under 500 watts such as computers. So first, off does anyone know how many watts an ibook g4 14" puts off. Secondly, I read that laptops have a dual adapter and that they can work on the 220-240 volts converter. Does anyone have any ideas about these issues; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Brandon,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Your iBook's power adapter is rated for 100-240v. All you need is an adapter for the plug so it will fit in a European outlet. You can find them at travel stores or online for a few dollars.

Questions about Tour Updates? goes to Blank Screen and resets ???

I have a question about my Blackberry tour Updating...
I seem to notice my blackberry goes to a blank screen and a clock icon appears in the middle and goes around and around for about 10 minutes, what is this

I'm having the same problem, except it's been half an hour and the da*& thing won't start up. This is BAD.

DVR Upgrade / Expansion - External Hard Drive goes idle

I upgraded my DVR by buying a 2TB external eSata hard drive. The external drive works when I power it on and it shows up in my DVR menu. I have been able to record to the external device and playback.
The problem is that the device goes idle and goes into standby mode. The cable box then does not recognize it and only records to the internal storage. The only way I can get it to record to it is to manually turn it off then back on. I contacted the manufacturer and it doesn't have a shutdown feature, they said the issue is with the cable box not sending power to it.
Is there a fix for this?

I am not sure why it is doing that. The external drives so still keep working if the box is in standby. To rule out it being a problem with the box you can hook it up to another box you may have or hook it up to a friends box to test it. Also refer to our e-sata page talking about the connectivity, drives we have tested and approved services for(though people have successfully used other drives) , and frequently asked questions.

Question about servlet architecture

Hello,
I have a question about Web Application / servlet architecture and development, and haven't had any luck finding an answer so far. My plan must be either unusual, or wrong, or both, so I'm hoping the community here could point me in the right direction.
I have quite a bit of background in OSGi, but very little in servlets. I know my architecture would work with something such as sever-side Equinox, but for the open source project I'm contemplating, I think that the more mainstream Tomcat/servler route would be better -- assuming it can be done. Here is a rather simplified scenario:
There is a class, Manager. It could be a Java class that implements Runnable, or a non-HTTP servlet (GenericServlet?), but somehow it should be configured such that it runs as soon as Tomcat starts.
When Manager runs, it instantiates its primary member variable: Hashtable msgHash; mshHash will map Strings (usernames) to ArrayList<String> (list of messages awaiting that user). Manager also has two primary public methods: addMsg() and getMsgs().
The pseudocode for addMsg is:
void addMsg(String username, String msg) {
if username=="*" { for each msgList in msgHash { msgList.add(msg) } return;
if username not in msgHash { msgHash.add(username, new ArrayList<String>) }
msgHash[username].add(msg)
And for getMsgs():
String getMsgs(username) {
String s = "";
for each msg in msgHash[username] { s = s + msg; }
return s;
Once Manager has started, it starts two HTTP Servlets: Sender and Receiver, passing a reference back to itself as it creates the servlets.
The HTML associated with Sender contains two text inputs (username and message) and a button (send). When the send button is pressed and data is POSTed to Sender, Sender takes it and calls Manager.addMsg(username.value, message.value);
Receiver servlet is display only. It looks in the request for HTTP GET parameter "username". When the request comes in, Receiver calls Manager.getMsgs(username) and dumps the resulting string to the browser.
In addition to starting servlets Sender and Receiver, the Manager object is also spawning other threads. For example, it might spawn a SystemResourceMonitor thread. This thread periodically wakes up, reads the available disk space and average CPU load, calls Manager.addMsg("*", diskAndLoadMsg), and goes back to sleep for a while.
I've ignored the synchronization issues in this example, but during its lifecycle Manager should be idle until it has a task to do, using for example wait() and notify(). If ever addMsg() is called where the message string is "shutdown", Manager's main loop wakes up, and Manager shuts down the two servlets and any threads that it started. Manager itself may then quit, or remain resident, awaiting a command to turn things back on.
Is any of this appropriate for servlets/Tomcat? Is there a way to do it as I outlined, or with minor tweaks? Or is this kind of application just not suited to servlets, and I should go with server-side Equinox OSGi?
Thanks very much for any guidance!
-Mike

Check the tomcat documentation for more information on that (the web.xml contains such servlets already though). From this servlet you can start your Manager.

Once Manager has started, it starts two HTTP Servlets: Sender and Receiver, passing a reference back to itself as it creates the servlets. Not needed. You can simply create your two servlets and have them invoked through web calls, Tomcat is the only one that can manage servlets in any case. Servlets have a very short lifecycle - they stay in memory from the first time they are invoked, but the only time that they actually do something is when they are called through the webserver, generally as the result of somebody running the servlet through a webbrowser, either by navigating to it or by posting data to it from another webpage. The servlet call ends as soon as the request is completed.

When the request comes in, Receiver calls Manager.getMsgs(username) and dumps the resulting string to the browser.This states already that you are going to run the servlets through a browser. You run "Sender" by navigating to it in the browser. You run "Receiver" when you post your data to it. Manager has nothing to do with that.

This thread periodically wakes up, reads the available disk space and average CPU load, calls Manager.addMsg("*", diskAndLoadMsg), and goes back to sleep for a while.Since you want to periodically run the SystemResourceMonitor, it is better to use a Timer for that in stead of your own thread.

-MikeI don't see anything that cannot be done in a normal java web environment, as long as you are aware of how servlets operate.

Some questions about Muse

First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html). I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
(http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident, moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
Is it possible to make an option of scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse

FTP problem: connection going idle or missing; takes a minute to refresh

Hi, i hope i explain myself, please forgive me my lack of tech-language and if i'm redundant:
In my office we got a G5 dual that we turn into a server (Mac OS Server 10.5.7) for a couple of websites (for external use). I need this guys to have FTP access for some file sharing. Server is up, websites and databases are running fine, remote administration in local and external network is flawless, everything seems fine, except for the FTP: When i connect with cyberduck or any other FTP app, the authentication is done quickly but then, the connection goes idle (like it didn't exists) so the folder listing takes about a minute. Then, as soon as you get the listing, if you try to put something (i.e, a big file of 50mb, using the local network), the app makes a quick login but then it goes idle again (same, about a minute) and when the connections appears, the transfer goes really fast, after the transfers ends connection goes idle again a minute before managing the folder listing. I know that the connection "goes idle" or "disappears" because i started using little snitch to take a look at it. It appears like if the ftp app wasn´t even trying to connect, then suddenly, it´s there and connects/transfers. Every operation takes this minute to get going. If i try it with a browser, well, it times out. This is happening in both, local and external connection. But every other service is working cool.
Can you give me any ideas about this matter?

Ok, rather than going for the most problematic protocols known to modern networking, try with something simple.
Don't test with ftp, test with sftp.
I would initially suspect you're running into issues with firewalls here; beyond transmitting your credentials in cleartext, the design of ftp is inherently extremely allergic to firewalls, and particularly to transfers over connections that involve both local and remote firewalls.
ftp is funky here in that it needs two connections between the client and the server, and the second connection tends to get blocked. An ftp active-mode connection has a back-connect from the ftp server to an ephemeral port on the client; traversing firewalls from server to client. An ftp passive-mode connection has a forward connection; a second parallel connection from the client to a specified (usually) ephemeral port on the ftp server; traversing the firewalls.
Ignoring explicit transfer-mode selection, various clients can (transparently) try to switch between active and passive, too.
My preferred approach is to avoid ftp. At all. Use sftp. sftp is far easier to punch through firewalls. And sftp doesn't transmit your username and password in cleartext, for that matter.
The other part of this effort is around ensuring proper file protections and ownership in the web server directories. The web-facing file ownership should be user:www (often root:www) and the www user (the web server) should be able to read its web files, but (in general) should not be able to write to the web files or directories. This is defensive.

Question about using multiple iPods on the same PC

I've read the FAQs on this subject but I still have a couple of questions about multiple users with separate iPods using the same PC.
I want to use my family's desktop (A new Gateway with Vista, if it matters) for my new iPod Classic, but my father already has an iTunes account on there for his iPod. I know I can create a new user account on the PC and move iTunes to a shared folder so that we can share music, but will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases and then move new songs into my separate iTunes account via the shared folder? Will it be its own separate iTunes account (separate user name, separate credit card used, etc.) or will it just be a second library that's dependant on the first?
I want to be able to have my own iTunes account, make my own purchases in it, and maybe occasionally share tv shows or something with my father.
If this can't be done, would I be better off just creating new playlists for our two iPods from the same library, or creating a second library on my Father's account?
Also, if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
I hope that made sense.
Sorry if these seem like silly questions. This will be my first iPod as I'm really excited about the 160gig and want to know if these things are possible.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, Wes.
Congratulations on your new iPod Classic and Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
For no particular reason, let's answer your last question first ...
... if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
The iTunes Store operates on a one download per purchase policy so you will have to copy the purchases from one computer to the other and make sure that you authorize the laptop to play the songs.
As to your first question ...
... will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases ...
Whatever XP User Account you are logged in to doesn't really matter. What's important is which Apple Account you sign in to ... yours or your Dad's or - if you had my Apple ID and password - The Mimico Kid's for that matter. You can sign in to any Apple Account on any XP User Account. Or any computer for that matter.
Where the XP User Account comes into play is that it will determine where on your computer the purchases are downloaded. Files will be sent to the iTunes Music folder as specified in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab. Default settings will have a different location for each User Account - C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes - but if you've read this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, you will know you can change the location of the iTunes Music folder in each XP Account to a common location such as C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes.
Post back if all this hasn't been as clear as mud and you need anything clarified.

Questions about Contracts and New Phones

I've had some questions about how upgrading and adding new lines to a contract works and I haven't been able to find the answers through Google. First some background information: We started this most recent contract in September of 2011 and as such the current contract will end September of 2013. According to the phone information portal, all three of the devices on my account will be eligible for an upgrade this Saturday (May 4th, 2013). My daughters birthday just so happens to coincide with that date and as such we were planning on surprising her by taking her to buy a new phone and we are going to allow our son to upgrade his phone as he has been asking to for a while.
Is there any way of locking/limiting the amount of data allowed for each phone on a shared plan? I'm worried that my daughter will go way over our limit and not pay attention to the point where she will end up costing us a very large amount of money
Does adding a new line require the start of a new contract?
My son was interested in purchasing the "Samsung Galaxy S4" and has noticed that pre-orders for that phone are currently available. Is it possible to pre-order the phone on that date using the upgrade so that the price will be reduced?
If the answer to number 2 is a no, does adding the new line take away the upgrades from other phones or would he be able to go to the store past the release date and upgrade then?
Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this. Any help that I receive will be extremely appreciated.

1. Yes. There is an additional fee per line you wish to do this for. When you add the line you can choose this option and set the data amount it is allowed to use.
2. Yes. Each line is a separate contract with its own expiration date.
3. The contract starts when you sign up for the contract. The amount will be pro-rated on the plan if it is not started until part-way through your billing cycle that is what you are asking. Doing the pre-order just guarantees you the phone in case they sell out.
4. No it will not take any upgrades away as each line has its own termination date. You can move upgrades around between lines though.

Some question about International Travel

Ok so i know alot of people have question about international travel weather is USA to Canada, Canada to USA or where ever.
So i just got off the phone with someone from AT&T these are my questions for them. i hope it can help, im confuse myself.
*1. I travel recently travel to canada a few weeks ago, when i cross the boarder i switch the data roaming ON and it picks up Rogers Wireless, a few days ago i try i again it said NO SERVICE is something wrong with my iPad?*
NO, consider yourself lucky u didnt get charge for that roaming, your ipad well not work out of the US unless u buy one of our International plans that AT&T has provided. The reason for this is so you wont have any unwanted charge or high charge on your bill.
*2. If i was to buy a sim card from Canada and pop it in to my US ipad well it work?*
Honestly that's something you can try at your own risk, it's design for AT&T so by switching sim cards it may affect your ipad such as running slow, virus, crash. You can try it, i dont work for Rogers so i know nothing about them, i work for AT&T so i can only tell you about our plans and i wont lie to you.(I THINK U JUST DID) This ipad is not unlock just like the iphone so it well only work with AT&T.
*3. If i pop my sim card out and put in an international sim card well it affect my plan at all or in any way?*
Yes it can, right now your on the unlimited plan if you put in a different sim card and then re-put in ur AT&T one chances are you're going to loose your unlimited plan and have to settle for the newer plan. That's why AT&T has reduce it's international plans so people are more likely to use it. It's a contract we sign with Apple, if u want to use in canada you can always buy an Ipad in canada and use their plan. (***)
At the end of this conversion i was just more angry with them. All in all she told bottom line is dont do anything stick with AT&T and pay for international plans. So i have to pay over price data plan if i want to use it intertanional? or i have to buy an ipad for each international places i go to?
Has anyone try or done any of the 3 ive mention and did it affect ur plan or ipad in anyway?
Thanks
Andy

Ok so here's a little more info
I called AT&T again today asking them the same question the guy was more helpful then the one yesterday. Even though he kinda told me the same saying that the ipad need to be unlock. , Afterward he transfer me someone from Apple. The lady told me
1. The ipad is UNLOCK so dont bother trying to get it unlock.
2. she doesnt see why sticking in another sim card from one of the apple ipad carrier is a problem. U would just have to sign up activated it like u would when u first got it.
3. Contact phone company (my case Rogers) to see if they carry the mico sim cards.
4. She doesnt see why it would affect the current plan u have now.
So at the end of all that she told me, seem like AT&T is just telling you, you cant do this or u shouldnt do that is simple THEY WANT YOU TO USE THEIR PLANS.
so with that i said i just want to let everyone know. I'm gonna go pick my Micro sim cards from Canada in a bit and sign up for thier plan we'll keep everyone updated if anything change or how it work

Question about Kurts comments discussing the seperation of AIA & CDP - Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy - Kurt L Hudson MSFT

Question about the sentence in bold. What is the meaning behind this comment?
How would you separate the role of the AIA and CDP from a CA subordinate server? I can see where I add a CES and CEP server which has those as well, but I don't completely understand his comment. Because in this second step, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tlg-key-based-renewal.aspx)
he shows how to implement CES and CEP.
This is from the guide located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
Step 3: Configure APP1 to distribute certificates and CRLs
In the extensions of the root CA, it was stated that the CRL from the root CA would be available via http://www.contoso.com/pki. Currently, there is not a PKI virtual directory on APP1, so one must be created.
In a production environment, you would typically separate the issuing CA role from the role of hosting the AIA and CDP.
However, this lab combines both in order to reduce the number of resources needed to complete the lab.
Thanks,
James

My concern is, they have a 2-3k base of xp systems, over this year they are migrating them to Windows 7. During this time they will also be upgrading hardware for the existing windows 7 machines. The turnover of certificates are going to be high, which
from what I've read here, it worries me.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/06/24/implementing-an-ocsp-responder-part-i-introducing-ocsp.aspx
The application then can go to those locations to download the CRL. There are, however, some potential issues with this scenario. CRLs over time can get rather large
depending on the number of certificates issued and revoked. If CRLs grow to a large size, and many clients have to download CRLs, this can have a negative impact on network performance. More importantly, by
default Windows clients will timeout after 15 seconds while trying to download a CRL. Additionally,
CRLs have information about every currently valid certificate that has been revoked, which is an excessive amount of data given the fact that an application may only need the revocation status for a few certificates. So,
aside from downloading the CRL, the application or the OS has to parse the CRL and find a match for the serial number of the certificate that has been revoked.
With the above limitations, which mostly revolve around scalability, it is clear that there are some drawbacks to using CRLs. Hence, the introduction of Online Certificate
Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP reduces the overhead associated with CRLs. There are server/client components to OCSP: The OCSP responder, which is the server component, and the OCSP Client. The OCSP Responder accepts status
requests from OCSP Clients. When the OCSP Responder receives the request from the client it then needs to determine the status of the certificate using the serial number presented by the client. First the OCSP Responder determines if it has any cached responses
for the same request. If it does, it can then send that response to the client. If there is no cached response, the OCSP Responder then checks to see if it has the CRL issued by the CA cached locally on the OCSP. If it does, it can check the revocation status
locally, and send a response to the client stating whether the certificate is valid or revoked. The response is signed by the OCSP Signing Certificate that is selected during installation. If the OCSP does not have the CRL cached locally, the OCSP Responder
can retrieve the CRL from the CDP locations listed in the certificate. The OCSP Responder then can parse the CRL to determine the revocation status, and send the appropriate response to the client.

Question about going idle.
