Question about photostream on multiple devices

I have an iPhone and my son has an iPad. I use icloud to photostream to my PC. I would like him to be able to do that too, but I don't want our pictures all mixed up in the same folder on my PC which is what happened when I set his iPad up to photostream. So I went back in icloud and created another folder location for his pictures, but now his photos won't stream to the PC at all.
Also, the iPad streaming only worked when I logged into icloud using his account. So I assume that means that when I take pictures on my phone, they won't stream because he is logged on. So I logged out and logged back in under my username, but now my photos won't stream. And if I can get the streaming to work again, does this mean I will have to log in and out of icloud all the time if I want to back up both of our pictures to the PC?
Wasn't sure if this should be posted as two separate questions, but any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can do what you are attempting to do. Your computer can only sync with a single primary iCloud account. (I haven't tested this, but I believe this is true even if you created a separate user account for each of you on the shared computer, although you could test this yourself if you want to see if separate user accounts would work.)
Also, photo stream shouldn't be used to back up photos. You can use photo stream to stream you photos to your computer, but be sure to copy them to another folder for permanent storage. Otherwise, if you delete a photo from your photo stream, it will also be deleted from the photo stream folder on your computer and you will lose it. The best way to ensure your photos are backed up is to import them to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
To get photo stream working again, you may need to save all the photos in your photo stream download folder to another location, then turn photo stream off on your computer and your devices, then set it up again.

Question about distinct_values for multiple fields

Hi,
With the distinct_values() function we can get the distinct value for a specified field, and is there any way to get the distinct value for multiple fields?
Thanks!

Hi simpson213,
According to your description, you have some questions about your report design.
1. How to have non-duplicating child info?
In this scenario, since you don't want to hide the duplicate data, we suggest you filter the duplicated records on query level by using Distinct statement. If you want to do it on report level, you can group
records on chid id and use First() function on other fields.
Reference: First Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
2. How to have various sections that contain fields with numerous values?
We can also add these fileds into the child group of child and have them toggled by child id.
Reference: Add an Expand/Collapse Action to an Item (Report Builder and SSRS)
3. How to add a page break between each child?
Right click on the Row Group(child id)->Page Break->Select between each group instance.
Reference: Add a Page Break (Report Builder and SSRS)
4. How to select multiple child id when rendering report?
When creating parameter, select Allow multiple values in General.

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Question about Local Variables (Multiple answers welcomed!)

A couple of questions about Local Variables
1. Programmers always say: “Do not abuse of Local Variables”. I’d like to know, when and where Local variable are most efficiently used?
2. If I have to create a couple of local variables, is there anyway to “clone” them without going through the repetitive “create/local variables” mouse click each time? (When I try to copy and paste, it creates a new variables instead of the one that I am trying to reproduce)
3. Which is faster in execution: Updating a variable through a) writing to property node/value or b) through local variable
Everyone’s input is welcomed, so if this question is already answered, please
feel free to add additional comments/answers!

1. Use Local Variables in user interface code and no where else. The only exception is using a local variable of a cluster output to define the datatype for a bundle by name node.
2. You can drag copy them then right click to get to a menu of all the currently defined controls and indicators on the VI.
3. B. The problem with A is that it forces a thread switch to the user interface thread--which can take time if you aren't already in it, and it's a very convoluted process under the hood. NI's advice never update indicator values through a property node unless you absolutely, positively can't figure out some other way of doing it.

Photostream for multiple devices sharing the same AppleID

I have my iPhone 4 setup with PhotoStream to import all my photos to my PC. My wife recently got an iPhone 4S and is using the same AppleID, so all her photos are also imported to the same folder on my PC. This is great and I love the setup.
But the problem is when her photos are sent to my PC they have the same filename as the pictures that I previously took with my phone and they are overwriting all my phtotos upon upload to my PC.
Is there a way to change the filename on either my iPhone or hers so they can coexist in the same folder on the PC?
Or is there a setting in iCloud that will prevent photos from overwriting photos with existeing filenames?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can have media from more than one account on an iOS device. Note that
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
I would set up the iPhone by:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Then on the iPod yocan either erase it and set it with the new ID or:
Use the new ID on iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases if you want to

Photostream for multiple devices?

I have 2 iPhones and an iPad, all have Photostream enabled, all use the same Apple ID for iCloud.
What I expected to happen is all photos taken on these 3 iOS devices would appear "merged" into my Photostream and that this "merged" photostream would be available on my Apple TV, MacBookPro as well as the 3 iOS devices.
What I'm actually seeing is only the images from 1 of the iOS devices (not all 3) but these are viewable on all devices from the Photostream.
Is there a way of setting Photostream so I can see all of my iOS devices images?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Question about support of multiple languages by installer (after modification)

We are currently developing the plug-in of Adobe Illustrator CS5.
I have a question on how to support multiple languages by that plug-in.
I want to specify a path according to a language of Ai and then install the swatch file when installing the plug-in(Extension) by Extension Manager.
However, the swatch file cannot be placed in a desired path.
The folder of swatch libraries to which Ai refers difffers from language to language, so I want to place the swatch file only in an appropriate path according to a language of Ai...
    Japanese version of Ai    : [Ai installation path]/Presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ
    English version of Ai    : [Ai installation path]/Presets/en_US/swatches
*In the case that the plug-in is installed into Japanese version of Ai, the expected result is that the swatch file is placed only in "[Ai installation path]/Presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ.
As a way to place the swatch file according to a language of Ai, I described the following contents in MXI file(project.mxi) and then installed the plug-in.
    URL that I referenced : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extens ion.pdf
--The contents of MXI file--
<macromedia-extension name="Extension Name"
name_resid="name_ID" version="1.0.0" ismultilingual="true" >
          -<omitted>-
<files xml:lang="en_US">
<file source="en_US/test.ai" destination="$presets/en_US/swatches"/>
</files>
<files xml:lang="ja_JP">
<file source="ja_JP/test.ai" destination="$presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ"/>
</files>
<files xml:lang="it_IT">
<file source="it_IT/test.ai" destination="$presets/it_IT/swatches"/>
</files>
When I installed the plug-in by the installer created by using the MXI file above, the swatch file(test.ai) was placed not in "$presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ" but in "$presets/en_US/swatches".
Is there anything wrong with the MXI file above?
Also, is there any way to place the swatch file in a desired path according to a language of Ai other than this way.
If someone knows it, please let me know.

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 auto-saving multiple files with the same template

Is there any way to do this? The template will never change - but I will need to save it as a new file each time I open it. Just want to know if there is an automatic way to do this when the template is opened each time? Preferably numeric, starting from any number. I suppose I can just save each file myself - but as it gets up into the thousands of files - I'm not going to want to.
It would be really cool if it could auto-save the file, assign it a number, and then place that number in the top corner of the saved document.
If anyone can help - let me know. C.

OK. First add a text field to the document, say "text1". You probably want it to be read-only. You can duplicate it to all pages if needed. Then open the template document, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), and enter the following code:
// Interactive Console JavaScript
// Get the folder this file is in
var folder = path.replace(documentFileName, "");
// Save multiple copies (from 1 to 9)
// with the number in the text field
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i += 1) {
getField("text1").value = i;
saveAs(folder + "template" + i + ".pdf");
After you paste the code, highlight the lines and press Ctrl+Enter (or the Enter key on the numeric keypad) and Acrobat will save multiple copies to the same folder as the template. Replace "text1" with the name of the field you've set up and "template" with the name you want the copies to have before the number.

Question about filtering by multiple keywords

I must be missing something, because setting up a filter using multiple keywords doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm clicking "Text" in the Library Filter, then selecting "Keywords" and "Contains All". When I type in multiple keywords, separated by a space, the list still contains photos that do not contain ALL of the keywords I entered. The resulting list seems to be displaying photos as if I selected "Contains Any" instead of "Contains All". Am I missing something obvious here?
- Dave

Could you provide a specific keyword example? Do you perhaps have two keywords such as 'Horse Carriage' and 'Horse'?
Using the text filter "Keywords Contain All Horse" would also find images with the keyword 'Horse Carriage'.

Question about Transferring & Organizing Multiple Users w/ Migration Asst.

Hello,
What i want to do is this:
Migrate the User from my powerbook to my macbook under a new User ID on my macbook.
I essentially want to Clone the current user and all the info, apps, library etc. on the powerbook to a new user ID on my macbook that would be completely seperate from the current default macbook User.. In other words they would have theyre own seperate applications, library, info etc..
I initially used the migration assistant to transfer the main user from the powerbook to the macbook. So both the powerbook and the macbook have the same named main user. I want to again transfer this orginal user info to my macbook but under a Different name.
Does anyone know the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks

Dear Rando or others professional who might help,
I have same situation as Rando. I am generating an image when user generate it using webservice then i have to display the image in their webpage. Initially i am generating image and put into webservice folder which didt contain service_deleted.txt . Everything is working perfectly except when webservice didt not work probably, many webservice folders are generated and some folders are not containing service_deleted.txt. This cause me cannot put that image into actual webservice folder.
I tried using the way that Rando mentioned but failed. I put an image inside aws folder and try to access using http://localhost:8080/ . But it returns Access Error:404. I have to put inside folder \aws\database-WWWWWW-WWW-WWWW-WWWWWWW , then only can access by using http://localhost:8080/database. May i ask whether i am doing anything wrong in this? Maybe is different version of labview so having different solution? Btw, i am using Labview 2011. Or maybe there is a way to know which actual webservice folder is running the webservice so that i can put my image into the correct folder?

Question about pause trigger: multiple triggersources

Hello,
I have two digital signals which I want to use as source for pause triggering. The pause triggering is done with a triggernode. The problem I have is that I can add two sources to the node but it won't react on both, just one. So I guess it only accepts one signal. The first triggersignal will start the logging for an unknown period of time. When the first triggersignal drops, the second trigger signal will follow immediately and will continue for 5 seconds. Maybe there is no need to add a second trigger source because the time the signal has to be logged is known and follows directly after the first trigger signal. But I can't seem to find a solution for that.
Another problem I have is that I'm logging at a rate of 100 Hz but on my excel file I find only 500 samples after 10 seconds of logging. Im logging the signals from 2 NI9237's and a NI9219. The rate from the NI9237 is 2000 Hz but I decimate it to 100 samples per second. The signals from the NI9219 are logged at 100 Hz and are untouched.
Thank you

PhotoStream: Multiple Devices and Performance Issues

Had a bad night last night with PhotoStream. I have an iPhone 4S (AT&T), my wife has an iPhone 4 (VZW), we have an iPad 1 (Wi-Fi), Apple TV 2 (Ethernet), and a 2011 Mac Mini (Wi-Fi)... all in the same house that has a Time Capsule and is connected to AT&T DSL service, 3.0Mbps service (average speed test results are 2.65Mbps down, 315kbps up). Oh yeah, there's a micro-cell in there too but anytime there's trouble that gets shut off first so its irrelevant for this discussion.
So yesterday was Halloween and we both took alot of photos away from the house with the iPhones. Got home, started using the internet, noticed the performance was HORRIBLE. Speed test showed over 1,000 ms ping latency (I still can't believe I actually waited for it to finish the ping test) and nothing was getting through for the download / upload test. I have never (believe it or not) with AT&T DSL seen it get this bad. Its been bad before, don't get me wrong, but this was surprising even to me.
How did I come to the conclusion that PhotoStream was my issue you may ask? Well, its sort of a long story, but bear with me... The other day, we started having trouble with the Apple TV 2, which for the most part is pretty solid. My wife was streaming Netflix movies and it was stopping every 30 seconds. It was looking at this issue that had me first raise suspicions about PhotoStream. Just days before this problem started, I had enabled PhotoStream on the Apple TV 2. SO I did the first most logical thing anyone could do, I took a step back and disabled it. Problem solved. Thought nothing of it, yeah I was a little discouraged that I couldn't use it on the Apple TV 2, but not a big deal, my favorite part of PhotoStream is using it to get the photos into iPhoto without having to plug the iPhones in so I said to myself "I'll just keep putting the photos into Events and Albums until they work out the kinks on the AppleTV 2" thinking perhaps the Apple TV 2 needs to not update PhotoStream while videos are being played. They can fix that at some point, right? Sure they can.
Now, back to this other issue. My bandwidth last night was completely crapped out, and I was determined to prestige on Black Ops one last time so this had to change STAT! I mean, come on! I was at Level 47 and I was ready to GO! My internet connection just wasn't having it. I powered off the router, rebooted the modem, and powered on the rotuer again. Everything came up beautifully. I jumped into some Nuketown 24/7, 4 green bars next to my name and I was happy. After we lost Bravo, which on Nuketown takes about a minute and a half if both teams are fighting over it, I'm lagging like crazy and I have that little red bar that no one likes to see next to my name. Sure enough, speedtest results are all whacked out again.
So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what could this be? My wife was watching cable TV, my son was asleep... essentially the Xbox 360 was the only thing trying to use the internet... I thought... until I remembered our iPhones and the photos we had just taken and all the devices that would be simultaneously trying to update PhotoStream. Let's list them again, shall we?
iPhone 4S - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPhone 4 - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
iPad 1 - Download from Stream
Mac Mini - Download from Stream
So how can I prove this crazy theory of mine that the great and wonderful PhotoStream was choking my internet connection? Simple.
iPhone 4S - PhotoStream OFF
iPhone 4 - PhotoStream OFF
iPad 1 - PhotoStream OFF
Mac Mini - PhotoStream OFF
Speed test results immediately after doing this?
2.73Mbps down / .31Mbps up with 26ms ping time (used the Speedtest.NET app on the 4S).
Sadly, this means that for now, I cannot use PhotoStream, however I did manage to Prestige on Black Ops which made me happy, and the iPhone 4S can still be plugged into the Mac Mini to download my wonderful looking photos.
That's right, I didn't throw away the charger cables just yet and if you want to start talking about iTunes Wireless Synching with multiple devices in the same house, I can gladly take up some more of your time. Thats right, its OFF as well!

I just wanted to report that this is still an open and particularly nefarious bug. I've got a fairly idealized Apple household with 2 iPhone 4's, a 'new' iPad, a 13" Macbook Pro, Airport Express and our most recent addition this weekend... an Apple TV.
While I had no particular interest in enabling Photo Stream, I turned it on while messing with the screen saver settings and didn't think anything about it. As I began to play with my new toy I was immediately disappointed with all the long spinners and timeouts in Netflix. Later that day I noticed my computer and iPad were having similar connection issues. My first thought was 'oh, Comcast must be acting up, that's why my new Apple TV isn't working so well'.
Fast forward 3 days to today and our network issues were still occuring and I decided I needed to figure out what was going on. After mucking around in network settings for a couple hours I half-jokingly decided to disconnect the AppleTV on the whim that the issues started at the same time I hooked it up. Sure enough my network issues disappeared. I even went so far as to run continuous pings to various IP's outside my home network and watch the timeouts come & go as i plugged/unplugged my ATV. Now knowing the ATV was the problem I set out to figure out what in particular was causing it. As soon as I signed out of Photo Stream everything was working perfect again. Netflix on the ATV is quick & responsive, no more spinners or timeouts. My other devices aren't plagued with random disconnects, dns failures or slow downloads.
Long story short, something is bugged in AppleTV's Photo Stream support. Mine didn't appear to be downloading any new photos, it had stopped with 255 photos downloaded. Not sure if that was all I had in iCloud or maybe AppleTV can only pull down 255 max? Maybe 255 is the magic number where it hits the bug that causes this behavior? Either way, it appeared to be only affecting the outgoing internet connection, when I had a continous ping going to another machine on my internal LAN it didn't appear to get affected.
Hope this helps someone at Apple track down the bug. While someone technical can probably troubleshoot these issues I could see someone like my mom never putting the 2 + 2 together that her internet problems started around the time she enabled Photo Stream on her AppleTV and instead blaming it on 'the internet acting up again' and of course calling me months later to look into it for her.

Questions about Assumption of Liability and device to be used for unlimited data plan

This is my first post on here. I have an opportunity that someone I know is willing to transfer his smartphone plan with unlimited data to me. I have read extensively on here and other sites and gathered some information, and also heard of many complications and questionable losses of unlimited data plans when making various types of changes to devices or services. Some of what I read may be outdated as well if Verizon has made changes in their policies, so I will start with the most obvious question: as of this date, is an AOL possible while keeping the unlimited data plan intact?
If so, here are some other questions I have:
-Will I receive a new SIM card by mail or do I need to use my friend's old SIM card?
-If my ultimate end goal is to use laptop, do I have to connect through a smartphone (and is there any additional charge for that, or would it change the plan), or can I put the SIM card in a mobile hotspot such as the MHS291L and use only the data portion of the plan?
-After getting the plan, is there any way I can get TWO SIM cards - one for a mobile hotspot, and the other strictly for voice and text? If so, how much extra would that cost?
-If we went to a Verizon store to do this transfer or AOL, how can we be absolutely certain it goes smoothly, that no one makes any unauthorized plan changes and does not lose the unlimited data? I have unfortunately read some horror stories of it being lost in similar situations, no one seems to be accountable, and it winds up costing someone countless hours of struggle with Verizon to try to get it back (whether they are successful or not I don't know).
-If at some point the SIM card was lost (such as if I lost the device), can it be replaced without affecting the plan?
For what it's worth (especially for those working for Verizon), I am not looking for a way to hog up absurd amounts of data but simply to be able to do the basic stuff I need to online and maybe watch a movie once in a while without having really huge bills. Even if I used the internet without giving data consumption a second thought, I doubt I'd go much over 25-30GB most months.
Thanks to whoever can provide me with information.

Hi NicandroN_VZW, sorry i did not see your reply in time but thank you just the same. I called the number for the AOL department and they were able to help me with it pretty easily and answer most of my questions
I do have a couple other questions regarding the unlimited data plan on smartphones. I have seen various comments regarding these things online, and i can make a good guess about what "might work," but i'm really looking to know Verizon's official policy on these things, if one exists. In case any non-verizon employees are able to provide this information as well, if you have references to where i can find it in writing that would be helpful.
First, i realize there is an optional $30 fee for mobile hotspot use. But does Verizon have any policy about whether this fee must be paid if i connect only via a USB cable (since it would not actually be a "hotspot," and could not connect multiple devices)?
And my other question is, if i do opt to pay the $30 hotspot fee, is there any policy either for or against using that SIM card in a 4g hotspot such as the MHS291L?
PS i am asking these things here rather than by PM because, given the wide range of opinions which can be found online and that others have looked into similar things, i am sure other people could also benefit from knowing Verizon's policy regarding these things.
