What is an APSP certificate? and how do I renew it?
I have a Mac Mini server with Mountain lion server on it. I use it for Web site serving, and I have File Sharing active on it.
I started getting the following notifications:
Certificate Expires Soon - APSP:34a61ab4-43ce-43e1-8a45-036445c241a0
The following certificate is about to expire on your server, web4.local:
Name: APSP:34a61ab4-43ce-43e1-8a45-036445c241a0
Expiration Date: 16 December, 2012 10:59:27 AM EST
It seems that the server has 4 of these certificates and I get 4 notifications every day.
I could find nothing about them. What's the service they support? where to renew them? How do I turn off this notification if there isn't much that I can do about them.
Under the server hardware's settings pane, I checked all the SSL Certificates that I have and the local self-signed ones and none of them expire in 2012.
So I'm confused to say the least.
I'm in the same boat. Here's what I've found out:
These certificates are used by the "Apple Push Notification Service" (APNS) and apparently have nothing to do with Cisco's Access Point Security Protocol (APSP). Push Notifications are used to do things like immediately alert you of new mail on your iPhone (rather than have the iPhone polling every few minutes to check if there is new mail).
Now, how to renew them (in theory because it doesn't work for me - it might for you):
1) open the "Server" application
2) in the Hardware section (top left), click your server
3) click the "Settings" tab
4) presumably "Enable Apple push notifications" is already checked. (if not, delete or move the expiring certificates out of /etc/certificates and that should stop the alert emails)
5) click the "Edit" button after "Enable Apple push notifications"
6) a drop down panel will show the apple ID and expiry for your Apple Push Notification Service certificate. The expiry will probably be in red. Click the Renew button.
7) enter the password for your Apple ID and click Renew certificate.
Hopefully that works for you. I end up with a "An unexpected error (-1) has occurred". If I click on the "Manage your certificates" link, I'm directed to an apple site that has a certificate expiry about 8 months after the one in the Settings page. I'm guessing that's the one being used and not the one shown in my settings page. I'll wait until after the certificates expire, see if anything breaks then delete the expired certificates.
If anyone knows how to determine which APSP:<uuid> certificate is being used on OSX Server or how the Apple Push Notification picks which certificate to use, please let me know. I have five APSP certificates in /etc/certificates and I suspect only one is needed.
Cheers,
Dean

What is a client certificate and how do I use it?
I am trying to pay a traffic fine on a municipal website. I keep getting a drop-down box saying the site requires a client certificate to verify my identity. I am given a choice of two certificates, both of which are listed as valid. However, when I select one and click "continue," the same box comes up again (no matter which one i select). This happens repeatedly. I have triend this on both my iMac (less than a year old) and my macBook Air (less than two years old), and the same thing happens on both I just want to pay my traffic ticket! Why won't it accept my selected certificate? Do I need to create a new one, and if so, how do I do that? And what is a cient certificate anyway?
Same here. Does my solution help you, as well? However, in you case, I double-check with the site administrator if he uses client authentication intentionally at all.

I have a MacAir, mid 2011 model, and want to view video on my TV. I see that I need a mini display port to Hdmi but there are many of these. What exatly do I need and how does one go about viewing a movie downloaded to the MacAir on a TV screen?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video -

1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer. -
I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

I recently installed an app CARTOON HD. I stupidly clicked install as I read that it wants access to my protected data.... I think. How can I see what it wants access to and how do I delete it
How do I delete it permanently if it has indeed requested my protected/personal data?

On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?
I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job. -

"the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."

My optical drive will not read any music cds or recognize a blank cd. it might read some data cds. what is wrong with it and how can i fix it?
The optics might be dirty. Try running a cleaning CD through it and see if that makes a difference.
If not, it will have to be replace.

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?
It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration".
It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length) of that rectangle is.
It's explained in the Help files. I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.
