Use shared fotostream on Win7-PC?

Hello everybody!
I'd like to share fotos of my daughter with the family.
My sister does not own any apple devices but she does have an Apple-ID (to buy music from the iTunes store).
I told her to install the iCloud-software for Windows and to activate "Fotostreams" which she did.
But then the software told her, that it would not accept her Apple-ID for the iCloud services.
Do I miss something here or is that a feature instead of a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Hello FoxMiq,
I love using Shared Photo Streams to share photos with my friends and family. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
It sounds like your sister an Apple ID that is not an iCloud account. The article states that for Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since your sister does not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, you can share the photo stream as a public website so that your sister and other friends and family who do not have iCloud accounts can view it as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

Using shared variables in windows 7 64 bit

Hi !
I am trying to use network published shared variables (with Labview 8.6.1) in windows 7 64 bit. I have three PCs on the network. All PC's are visible to each other. I am able to remotely log on to other PCs.
But when i run my program, the shared variables are not able to read the value over the network. The same program was working with windows XP.
I am not sure whether it is windows issue or labview issue.
Please help ASAP.

I am having the same problem with Shared Variables with LV8.6.1 and Win7 64 in a program that uses a shared variables to share in seperate loops. I was able to use a local variable instead, but would love to know if it possible to use shared variables with 8.6.1 and win7.

How to use shared variables to address multiple Watlow controllers on the same COM port

Hello,
I am trying to use LabVIEW 2010 to control 4 Watlow temperature controllers on one COM port. 3 are Model 96 and 1 is an EZ zone controller. Each controller has a unique modbus address, and I am trying to read from and write to individual registers (such as closed loop setpoint) using shared variables. I am getting return data when reading (although the data appears to be invalid), but am unable to change the value in the register by writing. How can I be sure that the Modbus server is sending commands to the correct controller?
Chuck
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I have actually solved that problem. I realized that the Modbus server address has to be the same as the controller's Modbus address.
I have, however, run into another problem. Perhaps you could help me with that. I have a system with 4 Watlow controllers, 3 are series 96 controllers, one is PID only and 2 are ramping. The 4th controller is an EZ zone. I am using RS485 for communications and the controllers are all wired in parallel for communications and power.
I have set up 2 Modbus servers for 2 of the controllers.
This is the first I have ever worked with Modbus based communications. I have successfully programmed using the Modbus read/write VIs, and am wanting to move to shared variables. My questions right now revolve around addressing, Modbus I/O servers and COM ports. Specifically, at this point, I know the addresses need to match up between the server and the slave device (Watlow controller in my case), how many servers can I create and use on one COM port? If the number is limited, is there a way I can specify an address that I want the server to talk to? Will the broadcast mode work to request data values from the controllers?
I'd appreciate any information you can help me with, or if you could point me to some sort of concise 'How-To' for Modbus communication.
Thanks.
Chuck

About the performance of using shared variables

Hi
My system has almost 200 I/O points,I want to the host communicates with PLC using OPC(I had create a OPC I/O Server).
If I use shared variables bind to OPC data items, there must be almost 200 shared variables.
And my puzzle is that what's the performance of using these shared variables,will they eat up memory and processor?
Another question is that if an shared variable will be time-lapse(i.e.,if an OPC data item value change feedback to program block with 0 delay or not),if so ,then how many millseconds it will delaies?

here is a paper about the performance of shared variables.

Using Shared Variables and Initialize Front Panel Binding (to PSP)

Hi,
I use LV DSC RT 8.2.1
I have a Vacuum System That includes signals from - Pumps failure, Valves status, Vacuum gauge, start Pump ...
Each signal is read by a FieldPoint.
All the relevant FieldPoint Channels are read by the Server (a computer in the Ethernet Network) and published to the network in the form of Shared Variables.
I have a client VI that is reading the Shared Variables published by the Server using Front Panel Binding.
Problem :
Some of the Bindings are in the mode 'Write &Read' and that causes some initialization problems.
For example - Valve #1 is Open, and then a User start running the Client VI, (the Valve #1 Status mode is 'Write & Read")
if in the VI the status of Valve #1 is closed (before running it) then the Valve status is changing to Closed.
I want the Client VI to first read the Physical status of the instrument and then to change the Value if the User changes it.
But that's seems to be a problem when using Front Panel Binding... (is it?)
I know I can Deploy a lvlib in the Client Side and Item Bind to the Shared Variables or Use DataSocket.
(Is DataSocket is a Reliable method when connecting to Shared Variables? What are the disadvantages when using DataSocket?)
What is recommended by those of you that are experienced or by NI ?
Sincerely Yours,
Amitai Abramson.

Amitai Abramson,
Hello and thanks for using the NI Forums.
I'm glad that you've read the Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable Tutorial on our website. Check out these other resources:
Network Variable Technical Overview
Troubleshooting Network-Published Shared Variables
Why Do I See Unexpected Value Change Events for Shared Variables Using LabVIEW DSC?
All You Need to Know About Shared Variables

Alternative Method for Using Shared Variables Between Systems in LabVIEW 8.x
What Is The Difference Between Using Shared Variables And DataSocket VIs To Access OPC Tags?
The issue that you are seeing by having "Write & Read" bound items on both the server and client side is essentially a race condition, you don't know which one is being read/written at what time. To resolve this issue I would take a look at some of the documents below.
Using a Local, Global, or Shared Variable in Parallel Loops Can Cause Race Conditions
Using Local and Global Variables Carefully
Tutorial: Local Variable, Global Variable, and Race Conditions
Locking a Shared Resource or Variable in LabVIEW Using Semaphores
You mentioned not wanting to have two sets of shared variables (one on each side), but this is a great method to resovle this issue, that, or you can develope some sort of hand shaking to prevent these race conditions.
I would suggest that in the future when using these forums you try to ask only one question per thread and make it more concise. It's hard to tackle multiple questions and such broad questions as "I want to know all the ways that I can connect to Shared Variables, and I want to know the advantages and disadvantages." I suggest this because we want you to get your questions answered and more concise questions will result in quicker and better answers.

How to use shared variables with native c programs

Hello
What is the way to use shared variables with native c programs?
I have a c/c++ program that uses the NIDAQmx C-API to perform measurements. Now I want to communicate to a LabVIEW program via shared variables.
Is there a C-API for shared variables as there is for the NIDAQmx functionality? Where can I find further documentation? The document "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" mentions that one "can read and write to shared variables in ANSI C", but there are no hints about how and where to look.
Thanks in Advance

Hi user42,
with CVI 8.0, you cannot create or configure shared variables. However, you can read or write to an already configured LabVIEW 8.x shared variable from CVI using the DataSocket API.
In order to do this you need to have and DataSocket 4.3 or higher installed.
Here's a forum post about using the DataSocket functions a LabVIEW Shared Variables:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&message.id=24569&requireLogin=False
With CVI 8.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1 it's possible to use Shared Variables via the Network Varaiable Library (check out the end of the "Network-Published Shared Variable" section within the "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" documentation and the following link).
Datasocket with LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW Real-Time:

Moving users from one server to another using Shared Services

How do you migrate users and groups from one server to another from Hyperion Shared Services in version 9.3.1?
When users were provisioned from EAS on version 7.x we could use Migration Utility but now since users are provisioned using Shared Services, what is the approach to be followed?

Someone will probably give you a real-world example of how to do it, but to get you started you may want to review the Hyperion Security Administration guide, section "Migrating Native Directory" which discusses that you need to first install the Import/Export Utility on your Shared Services server, then create an export file, then go to your target Shared Services Server and long story short, import it.

How to load external SWF used sharing library.

Hi~~~
Before ask the question, plz understand my bad English..
Recently I try to load the Swf file that is maded by Flash CS 6.0.
Especially it used shared library..
When I try to load this SWF, I used FileStream instead URLRequest.
This is because the target SWF File located same device with the Swf Application.. So when I use the URLRequest
it give me the warning - Sandbox security violation.
But by using FileStream, the warning did not occur.
This is the sample code below..
var myFile = new File(path);
var myStream = new FileStream();
myStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ;
var myBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
myStream.readBytes( myBytes );
mSwfLoader.loadBytes( fileStream, context );
mSwfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedComplete);
As you can see, I made a event listener to get the content of the Loader, after receving Complete Event(I guess.. after decording?).
But I can't receive any event call, so I removed symbol used sharing library in the SWF.
And this gave me the result as I respected... So I guess the problem caused by using sharing Library..!
(In parenthease, I can see the valid result in running debug time on the Flash CS6..)
What should I do? I respect that using sharing libary give saving memory. So I want to using it as possible.
Thanks for your reading...!

Here is one way:

Is it supported to use shared mailboxes in SharePoint 2013 Workflows?

We try to send an email to a shared mailbox (Exchange 2007) from a workflow in SharePoint 2013. No errors are shown in the workflow but the message does not arrive in the mailbox. If we do the same with an user mailbox it works.
Both Exchange and SharePoint are on-premises.
Is it supported to use shared mailboxes in SharePoint 2013 Workflows?

If it is a mailbox then mail should be delivered.
Please check if mail is in C:\Inetpub\ pickup or drop folder
also check if emails to normal mailbox works fine

Coercion problem when using Shared Variable

I have a curious coercion problem when using Shared Variables. I want to share the state of a State Machine, which is an enum saved as a control (typedef) called TYPE State (see attached). I create a shared variable called State and define it as a Custom Control, using the just-mentioned typedef. So far, so good. I've attached three simple VIs -- the first one, Init State, simply wires a constant to the input of the Shared Variable to initialize it -- the wired constant is, of course, defined by the typedef. However, the Get State and Set State, meant to wire an indicator (for reading the state) or control (for setting it), develop coercion dots when wired into the Shared Variable. Why? How do I get rid of the dot? [I suppose I could abandon my typedef and custom control, but the beauty of typedefs and custom controls is that it "enforces" rules, lets you use enums for clarity, keeps the code "honest", etc. -- I'd hate to give that up just to get rid of a dot!].
On a related note, the code seems to work. This is much too simplistic to do anything, but if you open Set State and Get State, set the state to anything, run it (it immediately stops, of course), then run Get State, you'll see the chosen state appear in the indicator. So it does appear to work. The "error" (coercion dot) may, I suppose, be a "bug" in Labview because it can't figure out the mapping of the (very simple!) Custom Control, but if so, I hope it gets fixed quickly!

Hello Bob,
I am also seeing this behavior, I will escalate this question to our LabVIEW developers and post again here no later than next Tuesday, November 27th as National Instruments will be closed for the remainder of this week.
If this issue does turn into a product suggestion, I would suspect the workaround would to live with the coersion dot for the time being.
Enjoy the holiday

Using HHP Builder under Win7

Hi all,
today I attempted to use the old "HHP Builder" tool on a Win7 (64bit) system. The program told me that it could not find csh.dll. Compatibility mode did not help.
So I searched for this file and found it on my old computer (TCS2). I copied it onto the Win7 system and tried to register it (using regsvr32) but received the error message that the module was lodad, but no entry point could be found. I also tried to regiter it as 32bit dll but to no avail.
Any ideas, has anybody used this tool on win7 so far?
Robert

Hi there
Silly question, but did you try running the app without attempting to register the dll?
It's been my experience that when an app complains that it cannot find a dll that I just copy the aforementioned dll into the app folder and it's then happy.
Cheers... Rick

Should I use shared pool advisor?

Hi, I am new to the Oracle DB and preparing for the first test of the OCA. If there is a SQL statement that is parsing repeatly, should I use shared pool advisor or SGA advisor?
thanks a lot for help

thanks a lot for helpYou need to tell us that what do you mean by "parse" here? Is it a soft parse or hard parse? If its a hard parse, and you have made sure that your application has not used literals , you may look at the shared pool for being undersized by its sizing advisory. If you have a bad code in the application throwing unsharable queries, there is no point of increasing the shared pool as at any one point of time,it would become useless. For this, the fix would be tune the queries and not to resize the shared pool.
If on the other hand, you have soft parsing happening, you can further try to optimize it by making it "no parsing" using the parameter session_cached_cursors . But for this as well, there is no need to increase the size of the shared pool.

How to use sharing to find a stolen laptop

I saw a news story about a guy whose laptop was stolen. He accessed the laptop remotely and watched the activity on it. He finally saw the thief enter his name and address to register on a web site, then he sent the police to that address and they recovered the laptop. (That was a windows machine.) I saw another article - a few months ago - about a stolen Mac laptop that was recovered when the woman who owned it accessed it remotely and used the built-in camera to take a picture of the thief. Cool stuff - which I could not do!
I use a Mac laptop as my only computer, and I travel a lot. If it got stolen, I'd like to be able to access it remotely and try to recover it. I looked at the sharing preferences, and there are ten different options that can be turned on or off. And the descriptions of each of those options are very minimal.
After reading the news stories about people who recovered their stolen laptops, I'd really like to know how to set up sharing services on my Mac to be able to do the same thing.
Are there any articles or web sites or support notes on the topic of "How to set up and use sharing to recover a stolen Macintosh"? If there are, can you direct me to them? If not, this would a great article or support note for somebody to write.
What sharing services would you turn on? If there are configuration options for those services, how should the options be set? If the computer is stolen, what actions would take to track the computer and try to recover it?

that's correct but there are ways around that too (if one knows them). physical access to the computer trumps any safeguards you can put. of course, not every thief would know how to circumvent a firmware password. Still, it's not such a great secret. the method has been discussed many times on this forum for example. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying the software. I just wanted to explain that none of this is foolproof.

I meet a problem about linking when I use Sharing Libraries.

I meet a problem when I use Sharing Libraries.
When I debug my flash on my local end, I can set the URL to "ShareLibrary.swf" (For “Export for runtime sharing”).
All Files linking the file "ShareLibrary.swf" are working correctly.
But When I put this swf on the net, the link can't work unless changing the URL to full path including the ip address.
Is there any way that I can make it work using the same URL, no matter the file is on the local or on the net?

Morning Alex,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
Resolution
Check the following:
Check the volume setting on your iPhone. You can adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down buttons on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are using a third-party iPhone case, make sure it is not covering the speaker, microphone, or top microphone. Try making some calls without the case to see if a caller can now hear you more clearly or play music to see if the speaker's volume is better.
If you have not removed the plastic display film used for protection during shipment, either ensure that the microphone and speaker are not covered or remove the film completely.
Check that the speaker, microphone mesh covers, and top microphone hole are not clogged with lint or other debris.
If the speaker, microphone mesh, or top microphone (iPhone 4 only) appear clogged, please use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to clean them. To do this follow these instructions:
Use the brush to carefully and gently brush the speaker and microphone mesh.
Brush away from the 30-pin dock connector to avoid getting any debris into the dock connector.
Hope this helps,
Mario

Using shared variables in a rt target

Hi all,
I wrote a diesel engine ECU in LV 7.1 FPGA and ran it for the past year, using TCP VI's to communicate between the Host and cRIO-9004.
Next, I translated it to LV 8.0 (with some difficulty recompiling the FPGA) and it worked fine up to that point.
Next step was to use the much-touted shared variables to eliminate all the TCP overhead. I defined 2 shared variables as big clusters with lots of controls and data passing back and forth. This worked fine while running under the source code. However, once I compiled the Host and cRIO code (ECUHost.exe and C:\NI-RT\startup\startup.rtexe), the sharing stopped.
I tried defining and binding the variables under My Computer and also tried under the cRIO target, with no success. I was able to get source code to talk to compiled code (I forget which one was which), but not when both were compiled.
Thanks for any suggestions,
McSynth

That is quite strange. Here is some information regarding shared variables and building stand alone applications that may or may not help:
Using Shared Variables in Stand-Alone Applications or Shared Libraries
If you plan to distribute a stand-alone application or shared library (DLL) that uses shared variables, do not include the .lvlib file in an LLB, the executable, or the DLL. Use the Source Files Setting page of the Application Properties dialog box or the Source Files Setting page of the Shared Library Properties dialog box to change the Destination of the .lvlib file to a destination outside the executable, LLB, or DLL.
