What is the issue with cloud and syncing to laptop duplication of data

it is quite evident there is a major issued with syncing iphone with icloud to my macbook pro. I continue to get duplication of groups and numbers. Someone is not communicating the proper was to do this process.

iCloud will sync whatever you have set up, a e you sure it's an iCloud issue or a "view issue"?
What can happen on your Mac is that it keeps any "On My mac" contacts in your "on my mac" contact list. Their will also be a "iCloud" view that will represent the On My Mac contacts and your iPhone contacts. If your view is too wide open you maybe seeing "on my mac" and iCloud" contacts.
If your iPhone conatcts were slightly different than your Mac contacts they will be duplicated.
I found the easiet thing to do was to go to iCloud.com, log in and see what is in the iCloud contact list. If you have contacts from both your iPhone and your Mac then you are in great shape.
I cleaned things up in iCloud .com because I only want to have one contact list across my devices.
Hope this helps a bit.

What is the issue with dename here ??
Hi ,
iam calling another report using srw.run_report and passing all parameters, Iam getting error for desname parameter, I need to assign the server path in the desname so that the report output is created in that directory. Please let me know what is the problem with desname in the following statement,
srw.run_report
('report=c:\project_files\us_files\sales\sc_report.RDF
paramform=no
background=yes
destype=file
desformat=pdf
p_srep_id='||to_char(c2_rec.salesrep_id)||'
p_contract_number='||to_char(c2_rec.contract_number)||'
desname='/ora1/app/applcsf/out/'||to_char(:p_srep_id)||'-'||to_char(:p_contract_number)||'.pdf');
Thanks,
Previn

Hello,
In your example, the REPORT parameter uses a "Windows Syntax":
c:\project_files\us_files\sales\sc_report.RDF
and the DESNAME uses a "UNIX Syntax" :
'/ora1/app/applcsf/out...'
You must use a filename syntax supported by the OS where Reports is running ...
If Reports is running on Windows, you cannot use a filename like '/ora1/app/applcsf/out..'

What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7?

What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7? I continue to have messages that are not sent. Is there a config I need to modify since I went to iOS7 or is this "a feature" now?

NO ! its not a feature. its a bug and Apple will fix it soon. Meanwhile if you continue to have problem the best way to overcome this problem is to turn off iMessages and use Text messages instead btw if you text alot, your carrier might charge you for it if you dont have unlimited text messages. So be careful !

What's the deal with DVI and Thunderbolt displays?

I have up and until now only ever had a MacBook, I planned on getting an iMac desktop but that didn't work out. However, now I am set on getting a Mini, but I remember there was a lot of comotion with the display connector and was hoping someone could guide me on that. I am looking to get a second hand late 2012 Mini, 2.3GHz and 16GB RAM.
I know there are Thunderbolt displays and DVI ones and converters and all that but what is the issue? Which one should I get?
Thanks in advance, it was one problem I thought I wouldn't have to worry about.

All I can say is that I have a TB display with my Mac Mini (late 2012) and it works great. The Mini has a TB port so works with the display perfectly. If you do not want a display that has speakers, camera, mic and ports on the back then you could get a less expensive non Apple monitor but I see some users have display issues depending on the specific monitor being used.. I will others comment on that.

What is the deal with MP4s and Itunes?

Why does quicktime and Itunes always put "This document could not be opened"/"Quicktime does not support this file type"/"An invalid public movie atom was found in this file". Only about 2 movies have work in Itunes, and one became corrupted and kept making itunes close whenever I played it. WHAT DOES IT WANT? It says it wants MP4/M4V and I've tried both.

What movies? From what source? While mp4 is more restrictive than some containers it can still hold many variants of audio and video. iTunes is limited in codec support.
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729 - including file formats supported by iTunes and on mobile devices, DVDs, etc.
What video content works with iTunes and mobile devices?
iTunes:
Video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.
Video podcasts.
iTunes Digital Copies.
iTunes Store Movie Rentals (Requires iTunes 9 or later).

What exactly is the issue with CS5 and the retina display?

Just picked up a late 2013 MBP with retina display and have PS CS5 running on it.
What is the exact issue that I should be having when it comes to running CS5 on these machines ? Is it just that the UI looks fuzzy? Other than that it seems to run fine and my photos look fine also.

What issue?"
That is what I am asking...Like I said, I am able to open CS5 on my new retina mbp and edit image files with no issue..the only thing that I notice that seems off is the text of the UI seems "fuzzy"....
So, what I am asking is what exactly is the problem supposed to be that I should be seeing?

What's the deal with iCal and DNS?

So according to the documents, you need a domain name and fully functional reverse DNS, to use the caldav server? What's that all about? Do you really need all that? Why can't you just type in the IP of the server, and connect to the server? Just like connecting to a web server, nice and simple? Most ISP's won't give you custom reverse DNS. My collocation data center does, bust all the calendar servers i've set up, were in small office networks with small mac mini servers. I feel like I'm missing some part of this equation?

Why? Modern IP network security and user authentication is based on forward DNS, and particularly on matching forward and reverse DNS.
More than iCal Server here, Mac OS X Server itself expects functional DNS.
If you're running privately, the easiest approach is the obvious one: [set up your DNS|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] and be done with it.
Mac OS X Server can get wonky with no DNS and can get particularly wonky with bad DNS. And the authentication services can get particularly cranky in the absence of DNS. (That's why SLS sets up its own very private rDNS environment for itself during the installation, when installed in the absence of local DNS.)
nb: iCal doesn't need the SRV records if you're on the default ports.
Or for running your iCal publicly? You're in a slightly tough spot with your ISP. Try it. Like with the mail server and other services, I'd tend to have issues with mismatching reverse DNS. Or connect into and use a tunnel, as that reduces the "fun factor" with network security and dealing with the yutzes that attack everybody's servers, in addition masking to the rDNS aspects.

So what's the latest with Java and Flash Player?

...And excuse me for not distingwishing between them, but what I do know, is that Flash Player version 10,1,102,64 that was mentioned here as the one for Tiger 10.4.11 on PPC machines -- is no longer appearing on the list at the Adobe's site.
I also do know that I'm having some issues with other programs that require FP and/or Java...

*Flash Player for PPC Macs*
Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
To update you should download:
Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
To install:
1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive. If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic). If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
7) Restart your computer.
Notes:
Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

Issues with Pre and syncing Calendar

I have been having issues since a software push from Palm. Not for sure if it is an issue with my Exchange server or the phone. When I go to sync, it does pick up the emails and contacts but not the meetings. We have deleted my account and recreated it several times. The meetings in the calendar originally appear but will be removed once resync is done OR if I move to another date. The meeting maker reminders for the meetings do pop up however after the resync is done.
Any ideas?

What is the issue with Java 7 Update 6 windows installer?

Hi guys,
I know that this is not the forum to ask Java Installation issue, but I couldn't find a forum that specifically deals with such issues. Also, as the issue in hand concerns JavaFx, I thought it appropriate to post the question here. Let me begin...
I ran the installer for JDK 7 Update 6 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, and it installed Java successfully, but no JavaFX SDK. So I uninstalled it, and ran the installer again, and it produced the same output i.e. Java installation O.K. but no JavaFX. It also didn't show any error message.
Puzzled, I looked at the system requirements for JavaFX 2.2, and it says SP1 for Windows 7. Sure my Windows 7 is not updated to SP1 yet, but JavaFX 2.1.1 was successfully installed on it, and it had same requirement ie. SP1. Since my numerous attempts to update to Windows 7 SP1 failed, I downloaded and installed separate installer for JavaFX 2.2, which the Oracle site says is for Java 6 only. Now, I am able to compile and run JavaFX 2.2 applications on my system without any problem. It has left me puzzled because if JavaFX 2.2 is compatible with my system, then why the JDK installer for 1.0.7_06 is not able to install JavaFX?
Are other users facing the same issue?
-Dinesh

Check JDK folder. You should see jre/lib/jfxrt.jar there.Yes it is there. And in Netbeans IDE, I specified the JDK home folder where it asks for JavaFX SDK folder location, and it accepted it; the IDE found all the required JavaFX SDK files in that folder as it is able to compile the program without any problem.
Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. All the while I was looking for the folder named "JavaFX 2.2 SDK", and not founding one, assumed it to be some problem with the installer.
Thanks again.

What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
There was some confusion today that still persists:
(1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
(2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
Thanks,
doug

This has been discussed a number of times here already.
The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
You have 2 choices:
1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.

Annoying little issue with streaming and syncing.

My Macbook is connected to two external hard drives which are hosts to all my movie and tv show files. These files make up my iTunes library so when I sync content the files are copied from my external HD's to my ATV. Some are copied and some I stream. I therefore have a massive library on the ATV selection under "My Movies" and "My TV Shows".
However, when I shutdown iTunes. All the content still shows up in the menus. Those that are synced can obviously be played but those that are not synced and played by streaming, still appear on the menu but obviously can't be played.
This is very annoying. I can't keep track of how many of the hundreds of movie files have been synced and which ones haven't. Before the latest update, the files that were not synced would disappear from the many once iTunes was shut down but now it appears they still remain there.
Any fix for this issue? And no, I don't want to tick "Show only synced items on my Apple TV" because then I can't stream anymore.

What's the difference with iMessage and SMS when not on wifi?

What's the difference when I use iMessage vs SMS? I know iMessage is only to Apple products. So when my messages uses iMessage when I'm not connected to wifi, would it go onto my data or texting? Thanks

what if people dont know how to do that.

Settings > Messages > Send as SMS = "Off", and Settings > WiFi = "Off"
Send a message to an Apple user. If it goes, it would be sent via iMessage. If it doesn't go, your carrier does not support iMessage.
Another way is to send a message to an Apple user with just Settings > WiFi = "Off".
If it's blue or the message says "iMesage" at the top, it went via iMessage.
If it's green, it went via SMS text message.
Good luck!
