Question: How do I (easily) set up a family group to email photos to

Preview of what I have: Tonight, I added all my contacts to "Address Book" which includes my fellow workers, my friends, and my family members [names and email addresses were added to Address Book]
What I want to do: I want to set up a group of contacts called "Family" where while I'm in Mail I can only email digital photos of my children to my family members only.
I'm assuming this has to be done with "new smart group" while in Address Book. If it can be done while in Mail that would be great (but I'd be surprised).
My primary question: Since I have all the contacts added in Address Book, which includes my family members names, how can I easily create a family group (that I'll select when I'm in Mail)? I don't want to retype in any contacts (family names/emails) if I can save time and typing. Can I somehow set up a new smart group in Address Book and drag and drop (making duplicate copies) of my family members into that Family group? [that Mail will also recognize if I type in "Family" in the "To:" field when creating only one new email.

Smart groups are dependent on some criteria being met from the cards.. You could, for example, set the Smart Group criteria to Name:Contains and then type your last name to have all your family members with the same last name automatically added to the group. Or set the criteria for birthday to either show people with upcoming birthdays or people for whom you haven't yet entered a birthday.
For more general purposes and what you want to do, a normal Group is probably better since your family members may not have the same name, address, etc that automatically identifies them as family. You then just have to manually decide who is family, who is friend, who is colleague and then drag them into the appropriate Group.
Also once you create the Group or Smart Group:
In Address Book:Ctrl-clicking (right-clicking) the group name will give you the option to compose an email to all group members.
Alternatively, if you are already in Mail: after you start the New message, click the Address button. In that address window, with the group name selected, click the To: or CC: button to address the message to all group members.

How can I easily set up Mac lab to access windows 2008 server directory user files?

I am wanting to start shifting our school to Apple computers. The problem is that we have already invested significant time and money into windows and we need to run them side-by-side. My initial plan would be to set up an open lab of computers with no users but have some way of allowing students to save their files to a windows directory which would in turn allow them to access the same files from a windows computer. I hope this makes sense and is not an entirely stupid or basic question.
I have logged into my personal directory on our server by hitting Command K and then putting in my user and password. What I would like is to have one item to appear in the shared directory and when selected for it to ask for user and password and go a the required directory.
If anybody has any information that may support the process of the intergration of Pc to Mac for a super low level IT skilled teacher I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Graham

the easiest is to enable fast user switching system preferences-.accounts and require password to wake from sleep in system preferences->security. This way when computer wakes from sleep it gives a password screen with an option to go to login window and switch user.

I forgot my answer for my security question how do I re-set them

Can you please help

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

FNDLOAD Question -- How to FNDLOAD a set of custom ROLES, not entire UMX?

Calling all FNDLOADers,
Question:
Are there any other options in FNDLOAD that will allow us to pull only those roles that are custom, either based off of UMX_ROLE name, UMX security CODE or any other attribute?
Background:
We have created ~40 custom roles in our 11.5.10.2 EBIZ environment, and would like to migrate these roles with FNDLOAD between environments. We are executing the following:
FNDLOAD <username/pwd@sid> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afrole.lct umx_roles.ldt WF_ROLE ORIG_SYSTEM=UMX%
This will get us ALL UMX roles in the entire EBIZ system!
Now, granted, we can go into the umx_roles.ldt file and edit the file, but the possibility for human error comes in..."FAT FINGERS" syndrome!
Thanks and best regards,
Gabe D

Hello Gabe,
Did a lot with FNDLOAD, iSetup and ACMP in the previous month. I am assuming that you are using naming conventions for your roles, right?
In this case, the role code shall always start with XX, to specify that this role is a custom role.
Then, in FNDLOAD you use the parameter ROLE_NAME:
FNDLOAD <username/pwd@sid> 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afrole.lct umx_roles.ldt WF_ROLE ROLE_NAME=UMX|XX%
I just tested this and it works perfectly, exactly the 15 roles I created are extracted.
Any follow up question is welcome!

How to devide the set of records into groups in SQL itself.

Hi , i am using 10.2.4.0 of oracle.
I am having one requirement, in which i have to devide the set of records into certain groups , so that they can be executed partly but not in one run.
So in the 'SELECT' clause itself i want to asssign particular value (may be 1 )to first 50000 records then another value(may be 2) to next 10000, like wise. And again the total count of records will also varry time to time , if the total count of record set is less than 10000 , then it should only assign '1' to all the records. i will set the group values (1,2,3...) as another column itself.
Can you please let me know if this can be done in SQL without going for PLSQL?

Hi,
That's called a Pagination Query , and here's one way to do it:
WITH     got_grp          AS
     SELECT     x.*
     ,     CEIL ( ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY x_id)
               / 50000
               )          AS grp
     FROM     table_x x
--     WHERE     ...          -- If you need any filtering, put it here
SELECT     *               -- Or list the columns you want
FROM     got_grp
WHERE     grp     = 1
;ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY x_id) assigns unique integers 1, 2, 3, ... to all all rows, in the same order as x_id (even if x_id is not unique).
CEIL (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY x_id) / 50000) maps the 1st 50,000 of those numbers to 1, the 2nd 50,000 to 2, and so on.
Analytic functions (like ROW_NUMBER) as computed after the WHERE clause is applied, so, to use the results in a WHERE clause, then you need to compute them in a sub-query. If you just want to display the number, and not use it in a WHERE clause, then you don't need a sub-query.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Can I set up a family/group subscription?

Spotify accounts are set up for personal use only. This means we can't offer any kind of shared account.
The majority of revenue we earn from subscriptions, and the income generated by ads, is paid straight to the music rights holders. They represent the artists and composers. Allowing the use of the account by more than one person wouldn't be totally fair, as many people would listen to music for the cost of a single subscription.
If you're interested in sharing Spotify with your family or friends, there are a number of features that share music between personal Spotify accounts.
One of the best of these is playlist sharing. Send someone a playlist, and get the recipient to "subscribe" to the playlist. Or you can choose to make the playlist "collaborative." This means that you can all add (and subtract) tracks whenever you like.

This is the problem with progressive applications that don't consider how real-world people (read: families) operate. It's completely conceivable that I would be listening at the same time as my wife or daughter. NO FRIGGING WAY you'll be getting $30/mo from this family for that. And I don't buy the whole "it's a royalty thing" because the free account ads are only gratuitous self pimping Spotify ads that yield no 3rd party revenue.
Let's be a big boy company and recognize the way your listeners use your service. The difference between the unlimited and premium should stop at the higher bitrate, NOT the ability to playback on mobile. That's just stupid. Be reasonable and charge $5/mo for unlimited but add mobile and then allow family to share the same account for $2/mo each additional user. Worried about people abusing that? Cap it at 5 or 6 additional users. If people have a verifiable need for more then make them proove it, AND ALLOW IT. A lot of companies have figured this out. Take a look at how iTunes shares with 5 instances - see it can be done. All you have to do is figure out how to monetize it. </rant>

How can I disable the Auto Recent Contact Group in email

The email app automatically selects a recent group of contacts instead of the primary contact. This is extremely frustrating and very strange, IMO. Why would the default be to list the group instead of the primary contact you are searching for first?
Example:
Compose New Email
Start typing a contacts name int eh To: field
the list Autopopulates with recently emailed groups before the main contact.
Is there a way to disable this "feature". I know I can "Remove from Recents" but this is actually very tedious.
Thanks!
-Joe

If you only want to select from saved contacts, then tap the Plus ( + ) sign on the right of the address bar to bring up your actual contacts list instead of using this method.
You can still type a few letters into the search box at the top of the contact list to find your contact quickly.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.
