What does it take to work for apple

I've always been very passionate and glued to the tv every WWDC given by apple. I believe apple is the most accomplishable consumer-electronics company in the world. Lol not Microsoft! I just want to know what it really takes to work for such a great company!

Skills they will need.
Technological skills such as electronics design. HR management skills for its HR department. Financial skills for its accounting department.

CAS SSO not working for VPN Group

Hello,
I am trying to get SSO working for a CAS/CAM in a inband virtual gateway for VPN users coming in off a ASA5520. There are two VPN groups each with its own group policy and tunnel group. One group uses a Windows IAS Radius Server and the other a token based RADIUS RSA device.
Users use the AnyConnect client to connect to the ASA where they are dumped into a vlan. SSO works for the group that uses the Winodws radius server. On the CAS the Cisco VPN Auth server has the Unauthenticated Group as the default group, and then I use mapping rules (Framed_IP_Address) to get the different vpn groups into the right roles. This works for the one group, but since SSO is not working on the second group the CAS never gets the chance to assign them into the correct role.
The only thing I got is this from the ASA:
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as FAILED
I am so close but cant call this done yet....

Hey Faisel,
Thanks for the question.
This is the stange thing. For days Group A (Windows Radius Server) was working and Group B (RSA Radius Server) would not work. Then for some reason I had to reboot the CAS and BOOM...Group B started working and Group A STOPPED working.
So on the ASA I now get these:
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as FAILED
Where cas_accounting2 is the AAA server group for Group A
On the ASA I can see that the FW sends a packet to the cas:
"send pkt cas2-hvn-3515/1813"
but the FW never gets an answer back from the CAS for Group A whereas with Group B I can see the response from the CAS.
"rad_vrfy() : response message verified"
What can I look for in the CAS logs to see where the problem is. I will try and setup a packet capture on the CAS and debug it too.

What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
Firstly, some background information.
My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic 16811
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
to the second level, and so on.
.topic 16813
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.

Get AD group membership doesn't work for global groups

I want to pull the group membership for OBIEE directly from AD.
This has been covered in many blogs and forums, no problem, I've found some user created functions - basically all of it uses
DBMS_LDAP package methods
with one exception that additionally to it also uses
DBMS_LDAP_UTL.get_group_membership
ALL THOSE functions work BUT I've verified it with the actual group membership from AD or adfind tool (http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/index.htm)
The list returned by Oracle packages doesn't match, or to be exact only partially matches the factual AD list.
I've done some research and found there are three types used for defining group's scope by AD:
Domain Local, Global, or Universal
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755692(WS.10).aspx)
leaving the first one out of the scope as we don't use it
- I've verified and found ALL missing ONES are defined as GLOBAL
All the Oracle funcitons I've found correctly pulls only UNIVERSAL group memberships and none of GLOBAL
Microsoft documentation says that both of them (Universal and Global) have forest-wide visibility....
and so AdFind can list both..
so why Oracle limits the search to UNIVERSAL ones only?
Maybe it's a matter of initialize those DBMS_LDAP packages differently or passing slightly different parameters??
I've really tried a lot of this code in different combinations but no joy
Has anyone got some ideas?

...I try to block the usage of the command prompt only on this server.
I have the same question as jrv: Why? It doesn't increase security. The command prompt is a program, not a security boundary.
Disabling the command prompt does NOT increase security
-- Bill Stewart [Bill_Stewart]

Managed (mcx) preferences ONLY works for Computer Groups (Lists)

AD Server 2008 R2 with extended schema.
Macs (ML 10.8.5) bound to AD, mcx settings were created for Computer Groups , User Groups (AD security groups), Users
but ONLY Computer Lists settings apply on the local machine (ANY, not just one)
I can see it with mcxquery
Anybody has an idea why that could be & how to sort it, so it DOES apply to user, user groups as well?
Seb

Turned out that my user existed as LOCAL user (same name/pass as AD)
In that way ONLY Machine MCX applies
Renaming local user & login with AD user applies Preferences correctly

What does "Authorized as" field works for when creating an alert?

Do someone knows when to use the "Authorized as" field in the alerts? I have created an alert to know when a work item has been assigned to an specific team but alerts are not being sent.
I configured like this:
TeamProject = XXX
AND Team Changes To YYYY
AND Work Item Type = CUSTOMTASKTYPE
AND State = To Do
Thanks for your help!

Hi JOSEDTFS,
Based on the description, seems you want to create alert when a work item is assigned to the specific team and make the team members get notified. But your filter is incorrect, please check the screenshot as below:
You can create a work item alert by using the template of "when a work item is assigned to me". Then click "Edit" after the field of “Send to” to add the account
of team members in your team.

I have a macbook 13"screen purchased in 2007; I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adaptor but it does not fit. what kind of adaptor will work for this model?

I have a Macbook, 13" screen, purchased in 2007. I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adapter but it does not fit. Any suggestions?

If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.

What external hard drive will work for my 2012 mac book air

i dont want to spend money on one incompatible

Don't use any Western Digital HDD.
I recently bought this one, it is excellent:
Toshiba Canvio Connect 2TB Portable Hard Drive, Black (HDTC720XK3C1)
If you need a smaller capacity, then so be it. You can run almost any external HD with your Mac. Larger capacity drives, or arrays, require external power sources so as not to overload your USB bus power supply. Smaller, compact HD do not require this.
When you connect the drive, you simply need to reformat it using disk utility.
1) Open Disk Utility
2) Plug in your drive. Select the external HD in disk utility
3) Select the 'Erase' tab for the drive
4) Under 'Format' , select Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition table.
5) Name the drive, click Erase
You are good to go.

Monthly and Yearly backups not working for Protection Group?

Hi
We have a Protection Group with 160 members currently attached to it. The group has the following customized Recovery Points:-
- 1 recovery point every 1 day for the last 2 weeks, 1 recovery point every 1 month for the last 60 months and 1 recovery point every year for the last 5 years.
The schedule is as follows:-
- Every Day at 01:00, Every Month on First Day at 01:00 and Every 12 Months on 01 January at 01:00.
The daily tape backups are working fine without issue but neither the Monthly or Yearly backups are being attempted. We have checked the monthly backups for this issue for the last few months and are unable to see any evidence of the Monthly schedule even
running? This means that we are having to manually label the Daily tapes once a month as Monthly tapes but they will then stay on the Reports for the next 5 years as DPM will constantly request these tapes back.
Are you able to help with this matter?
Not that we really want to do this but if we removed the group completely and re-create it would this cause problems with our restore points?

Hi,
This is a known issue that can occur in all current versions of
DPM including DPM 2012, to correct the condition, you simply need to perform this step. Any time before the next scheduled (monthly or longer) backup, manually update
the long term backup schedule by hitting the MODIFY button. The code that runs when modifying the backup schedule redoes the bacup schedules and it fixes the scheduling issue.
Below is a DPM Power-shell script that will show you the scheduled backups for all recovery goals for all protection groups. You can see the last time each recovery goal ran, and the NEXT run time, so you can monitor
the goals and re-fix them if necessary.
NOTE: It takes about 20-30 minutes before the fixed next run time schedule will be populated after modify the protection group and updating the schedule.
# This script will list all currently scheduled backup to tape jobs #
# It will list scheduled, last run and next run dates #
# Note: The script takes in consideration that the DPM Database was installed locally on its #
# Default instance. If SQL is installed on a different location/instance, edit the line #

I cant seem to get this script to run.. can someone point out what might be missing..
I've tried creating a shortcut like the following as well:
Target: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -File "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
DPM\DPM\bin\dpmcliinitscript.ps1" "C:\Data\scripts\scheduledjobs.ps1"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\"
If i run as admin in just takes you to a command line prompt in PS..
Any thoughts on what is missing here.. i've modified the ps1 to reflect 2012 in my case.. 2012 R2

Ok, the 1.6 script works.. but only if i run it from the ps1 script file.. by right clicking it and doing the Run with Powershell option (non admin).. my shortcut doesnt work.. same issue.. it just goes to a power shell prompt. The right click and
run is non admin mode as well.
When I run it with the right click it shows no jobs scheduled.. If i look in dpm 2012 r2 i see a yearly tape backup scheduled for today.. the script doesnt show me a way to also get the monthly to appear (i've set the monthly for a day later but it doesnt
appear in the scheduled tasks for next 7 days).. i was under the impression this script would help force the monthly to appear/run.. but even the yearly that does show in DPM scheduled tasks isnt showing up with the script (maybe admin issue?)

Center alignment not working for all groups

We are trying to center our visual within our blank white canvas, and we have multiple groups within the file. See image attached. When we select all groups then hit the center alignment button, only the bottom group becomes centered and nothing else. When we try to select all layers within the first group and hit it, everything moves except the color mask which stays in the original place.
This seems to be a glitch or bug that it's not working automatically for everything.

What will work for stop-motion animation?

I'm a student and Maryland Institute college of art studying animation. I'm a senior and considering necessary investments. Camera, software, etc. Does anyone have suggestions of what software/camera will best work for my computer. I need to be able to have a live view while shooting and am limited by the new mac books only have firewire 800. Any suggestions help.
Thank you,
jdudem

Canon's EOS Utility software has an option for time lapse photography with a SLR camera. My old 1Ds II doesn't have live view but will write to the computer via a FW 400 cable and this software. You'd need a FW400 female to FW800 male adapter to use a FW400 cable with the MBP or buy a new cable that fits your camera (mine has a four-pin DV connector) and a FW800 to the MBP.
I have not used the time lapse option. I believe this software limits the minimum interval to the amount of time it takes to write to the disk. I would expect there are other programs that would give you more options and capability. EOS Utility works but it's pretty basic.

2006-01-10 Updater Extreme Fix....Worked For Me....

I too am one of the poor shlobs that downloaded the latest and greatest ipod updater 2006-01-10 from everybodys favorite company..apple. I downloaded the 2006-01-10 updater on my wifes computer profile and her 3rd gen ipod stopped working with itunes but my computer profile still worked with my 4th gen ipod. So while trying to fix hers i too got the new update message on my itunes and not knowing any better i installed it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now my profile stopped reading my ipod in itunes. Error message said "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly please reinstall itunes to install the ipod software." So after many hours of grief trying to fix the problem to no avail heres what i did and it worked for me , its a little extreme but i was ready to put them both on ebay or the garbage can whichever was quicker and say the **** with apple. First you might want to save your music from itunes, i exported mine to a folder in my music and it showed back up in itunes when i was done. Go to apple, click on support tab, in ipod support area click on ipod + itunes support, scroll down troubleshooting articles, click on "my ipod shows up in windows but not in itunes", and follow each step for removing itunes and quicktime completely off computer. When it came to emptying my temp directory i could not delete the file so i went into the file and deleted everything that i could, some could not be removed. After removing itunes and quicktime i went to start-my computer-local disc-program files-ipod, clicked on ipod and deleted ipod updater 2006-01-10 file. Then i went to start-my computer-local disc-program files-and scrolled down towards the bottom of the page and deleted anything that said ipod updater or itunes updater or setup. I also did this exact thing up to now on my wifes profile as on my profile just to be certain that there was nothing left on either profile. I then ran disc cleanup and disc defragmenter in start-all programs-accesories-system tools. Restarted computer. I then went to www.soft32.com/download_121872.html and downloaded the ipod updater 2005-03-23. Restarted the computer,(I restarted my computer alot, i would do something and restart and do something else and so on). I then connected my ipod to the computer and clicked start-my computer-right clicked on ipod-clicked on format-started format process. Then i disassembled both ipods and unplugged the batteries for about five to ten minutes and then put them back together.(google "ipod battery replacement" for step by step detailed instructions on how to do this VERY EASY to do) Restart computer. Then on my profile i connected my ipod, clicked start-my computer-local disc-program files-ipod-clicked on 2005-03-23 ipod updater. Restart computer. Then i connected my ipod and downloaded the latest itunes and quicktime sofware and restarted computer again. Then after the restart, when all my programs were up and running, i connected my ipod and VOILA itunes popped up and read my ipod and updated it. i then logged off completely and logged in to my wifes profile and reformatted her ipod, restarted and installed ipod updater, i did not need to reinstall itunes or quicktime because it was already there from when i installed it on my profile. Restarted and when everything was up and running connected her ipod and YIPPEE. Removed both ipods, logged completely off both profiles and again i restarted the computer again...yes i know...after the restart i checked both profiles just to make sure they still read the ipod and they both work WOOHOO!!! I certainly hope this helps someone else because i was literally at the end of my rope and really did not care what happened to it, i think somewhere in there i even smacked it on the table a couple of times just to vent some frustration(some say doing that works too i dont know about that but boy it sure felt good). Anyway hope this helps i tried to remember everything i did step by step to the best of my knowledge and i dont guarantee this will work for you like i said...it worked for me...good luck.
Dell Dimension 8300 Windows XP

just wanted to know if you still have any problems because sometimes the pod would work right after installation but the problem comes a few days after..but this is really helpful..will try to do this over the weekend
