What's happening here: iCloud Photos preparing photos for 'Photos' app?

This morning I came back from a weekend trip to Prague, where I took a number of photos with my iPhone 6. On my Mac I fired up iCloud Photos to see if everything was imported properly. That was about an hour ago. Since then I am presented with this screen, saying something like:
"Welcome to Photos app.
With Photos app you may save your whole iCloud Photo Library ...
Preparing photos ... This may take a few minutes.
... will be continued when you leave iCloud.com."
However, with Yosemite 10.10.2 I don't have the new Photos app for Mac on my iMac!
Now what is happening here?

I even liked Apples error messages , because most of them were so helpful ... But now the smart guys at Apple seem to be following a more obfuscating strategy, at least sometimes.
I suspect the maintenance work on iCloud Photo Library this weekend has been in preparation for the big life event today - then all will be revealed: http://www.apple.com/live/

ICloud error message on iPhone saying I don't have enough space to store photos when in fact I have 1.5gb free and my photo library on my phone only has 22 photos. What's happening here and how to I fix this?

I get an error on my iPhone saying that iCloud photo library storage has run out of space and it will stop uploading photos from my phone. However, my iCloud has 1.5gb of free storage and my photo library only has about 22 photos. So, what's happening here?

Are you using iCloud photo library beta.
Are any of your photos actually video.

What is happening here? In FF ok, IE not

what is happening here? I have a div that is lining up
horizontally 300px to the right in IE and is pushing out page not
seeming to abide by the wrapper div it's in. I have tried it with a
clear and without on the div itself. It is the object that is just
below the navigation buttons - different navigation -lines up to
the right in IE

an example of where the object should be placed is on the
home page.

HOLY INLINE STYLES!!! Yikes!

Icloud photo "preparing library" for weeks, is this normal

Using OSX photos beta. My photos have uploaded to icloud and are in sync between devices. However, when logging into icloud photos on any browser, I have not gotten beyond the "preparing library..." message. It's been about two weeks of preparing. My library is not that substantial (7,000 photos). I feel like the preparing should have finished by now. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

If any of the following is incorrect, please let me know, thanks.
Now that I've had my first bad experience with Verizon in the 16 years I've been a customer, I'm checking out my options. If the third Palm Pixi is defective, here's what I understand are my options:
1. I can keep getting replacement Palm Pixi Plus phones
  1a. Would involve down-time both for calling and computer while waiting for replacement phone
2. I can send the Pixi back to Verizon and reactivate my old phone. BTW it's nearly four years old and still works good unlike the two new Pixi phones that crapped out
2a. I can drop the data package but now I'm again under a contract
2b. I will have lost my right to an upgrade to a new phone
3. I think I understood that I can exchange the Pixi if defective for another phone but will either:
   3a. Pay the full price of the phone
   3b. Settle for a re-conditioned phone
Hopefully the third Pixi will work and we'll live together as happily as I have with my nearly four year old non-smart phone.
The CS employees have all been very pleasant and helpful, however, I am very disappointed in the company. I guess I didn't read the fine print, even if the "new" phone is defective and I send it back I'm punished by Verizon by being held to a new contract period and no upgrade for 18 months. Live and learn.   BTW, I have several ecommerce carts so I really need to be able to get Online!

What is happening to Icloud

What is happening icloud my email has been down all day not good enough

At the present time it seems apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that some new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on which does not offer iWeb or iDVD.
However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Someone is getting into my ITunes and purchasing games yet I have no money on the account nor do I use a credit card..what is happening here...I just got advised of the purchase

Someone is purchasing games from my account yet I have no monies in the account to purchase anything nor do I use a charge card ...what is happening and cs
an I resolve the issue...

If you haven't already done so then change your password on your account e.g. by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your iPad and logging into your account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com - if you do it on your computer or that website you might then need to log out (by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores) and back into your account on your iPad so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If things have been purchased which you didn't buy, and nobody else has access to your account or devices, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Recent upgrade from 2 to 4 GB remarkably speeded up my Mac. However, in last two weeks it has reverted to extremely slow ops, so bad I can hardly get G-mail to open or even navigate within Apple programs. Anyone know what's happening here?

My mac was barely creeping along when community evaluation suggested my RAM was maxed out so I upgraded. Operation speed increased dramatically for about 2-3 weeks and all of a sudden it is back to a crawl. I can hardly open G-mail and also have problems navigating between Apple programs like opening numbers, etc. I checked ookla speed tests and am operating around 25 + mbs for downloads and about 10 for uploads. G-mail error notices state slow problem is due to flaky connectivity. Nothing new has been added to the computer to account for this slow response. Any suggestions for this performance change?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message

Too many problems with Firefox... my company asking to convert to Chrome! What's happening here folks?

Firefox for OS X is rapidly losing favor within my company - the FF browser is getting too unreliable (freezes & crashes), non-intuitive/complicated for configuration, and loses configurations/settings with its MANY updates.
People are liking Chrome & Safari more and more - but I LOVE FF because its 100% CSS compliant.
What's happening to my favorite browser??

Hi, what problems exactly are you having that you're looking for help for?
People in an enterprise situation might consider using [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ Firefox ESR], which updates much less frequently as regular Firefox and as such is supported for much longer periods of time.

What actually happens @Completed filling free space info for database

Hello,
i see some strange thing with my 15.7 Ase server
Earlier for a very big db of around 1TB the recovery time would be around 15Mins( i mean for the 1TB db to come online).
Now its taking only seconds to come up.
so wanted to check what actually happens in this stage.
Started filling free space info for database 'xxx'
Completed filling free space info for database 'xxx'
The difference is that we have created new server and bcpd the data into it.
Please can someone explain.
Thanks

ASE keeps counters in memory of the amount of free space available on devices and segments. When ASE is shutdown cleanly (aka "politely"), these values are flushed to disk and used to initialize the in-memory counters on reboot. If ASE is shutdown abruptly, the values have to be recalculated, a process which involves either reading every OAM page in the database or every Allocation page.

What's the best way to do authorization for my app?

The authorization situation is somewhat complicated for my app.
Each component of the app is authorized based on not only the user, but also the page number, the value of at least one P0_ITEM.
From what I've seen so far, there are two different options of setting the authorization for the component:
1. Set its Condition
2. Set its Security Authorization Scheme
Here is my understanding for each (from my limited experience with APEX):
1. Set its Condition
+ Can pass in parameters such as :APP_USER, page numebr, P0_ITEM. So I can just create one function that does all the authorization
- Have to combine the SQL query with the component's non-authorization display conditions, if any.
2. Set its Security Authorization Scheme
+ By name, it seems like it should be used for authorization
- Cannot take in parameters relating to the page, such as the page number --> therefore I will need to create many different schemes, for all the different pages.
#2 will end up with a long list of schemes (each with its own SQL queries) for different pages, which doesn't seem as efficient as #1 with far fewer SQL queries and just take in parameters.
Which one should I pick?
Thanks!

Thanks fac586 for the detailed response, and also everyone else who replied. You guys are very helpful and respond promptly. And we'd appreciate it if you changed "953006" into a real handle promptly.
Andre mentioned using conditions:
The way I work around this is to have two functions, one which is used at the page level as a normal authorization scheme and one which can be passed variables which is called as a Condition and the name of the item is one of the variables, in effect giving it "self awareness".But fac586 said:
You can't pass "parameters" to authorization schemes. Use application items, APEX collections or application contexts to set current context before the authorization scheme is evaluated, and access these values in the functions.Does this mean, fac586, that we can avoid conditions altogether? No, it means that I prefer to use Authorization Schemes to control access to resources based on user privileges and security, and Conditions to control rendering and processing for functional reasons. Using the approach described above I have found it possible to maintain this separation.
Say if a page has two buttons, Button_A and Button_B. Button_A has a set of requirements for displaying and Button_B has its own set of requirements (some of which are shared with Button_A). So far, the only way that I can see of using pure authorization is to write 2 different authorization schemes, and set the authorization schemes for the two buttons respectively.What's the problem with that? Consider a more concrete example using a standard APEX report/form pattern for customer maintenance. Page 6 contains the report, and page 7 is the maintenance form with P7_CREATE and P7_SAVE buttons. Only users entitled to create new customers should have access to P7_CREATE, and only users able to edit customers access to P7_SAVE. This would be controlled by the CREATE_CUSTOMER and EDIT_CUSTOMER authorization schemes respectively. Functionally, conditions are used to show P7_CREATE if the P7_CUSTOMER_ID is null, and P7_SAVE if it's not null. We don't mix non-functional security considerations with functional requirements.
The CREATE_CUSTOMER and EDIT_CUSTOMER authorization schemes are of type PL/SQL Function Returning Boolean. These are implemented using package functions. Exactly how a user has create/edit customer privilege is determined in the package. Determinants that are shared by multiple schemes can be combined at this level. These implementations can be changed as necessary without requiring changes to the application.
The authorization schemes are reusable across pages and components. On page 6, CREATE_CUSTOMER can be used on the "Create New Customer..." button; EDIT_CUSTOMER on the report column containing the "Edit" links.
Each component of the app is authorized based on not only the user, but also the page number, the value of at least one P0_ITEM. So I guess this goes back to my original concern with Authorizations:
[Using purely authorizations] will end up with a long list of schemes (each with its own SQL queries) for different pages [and page items] ....
Re: VPD policies. Note that in the example above there's no need for the authorization schemes to "know" which pages/items are being evaluated. The P7_SAVE button and the page 6 link column are involved with the EDIT_CUSTOMER operation, so that authorization scheme is applied to them.

Help!! As I was scrolling through my library, one folder after another had the photos in it turn to "static"! Lots of streaks and dots! What is happening and how do I save my photos?

As I was scrolling through my Aperture library just now, I saw one folder after another turn the photos in that folder into garbage! They have lines and dots and nothing recognizable - what in the world is causing this? Can I get my photos back? It almost looks like a virus eating my files - could it be - and if it is - is my entire computer in trouble? HELP HELP HELP!

Interesting that you posted this Cleaning up photo library about one hour before this post. I'd say there is a good possibility they are related.
Without knowing your system, OS version and Aperture version and what you were doing to 'clean up' your library there is little we can do.
My photo library is a mess. I have moved things around a lot in a futile attempt to organize them, now I have a lot of placeholders with no files attached. How do I clean things up?
I suggest you restore from your backup and forgo the cleaning operation until you have a better grasp of the situation.
BTW the Masters folder is organized by date and time of import at least in Aperture 3, if you are using 2 then all bets are off,
Good luck with Apple support, if you want to try and get this sorted out post back the information I requested above.

Rented a movie on iTunes, still had 27 days till it expired but when loaded it to watch, said it had expired. Was not able to watch movie on trip. Later on, came back as being able to watch movie. What is happening here?

I have an iPad 2. So does my wife. We recently went on a trip and downloaded movies to watch on the plane. My wife watched 3/4 of her movie and then fell asleep for an hour. When she went back to watch the remaining last quarter of the movie, it said it had expired. It also said that all the other movies that she had downloaded within the past 2-3 days had expired. I had a similar problem with a movie I rented. I went to view it and it came up and said it couldn't load the content and then said the movie had expired. I wasn't able to watch the movie on my flight which was quite annoying. Since returning home later in the day, I still had it saying it was expired, but now it is coming back and saying I have 27 days (which is correct). What is going on here? Someone at the apple store in NYC said to close the app but I find I don't even know how to do that anymore with the new version. Used to be you double clicked on the button and then got a minus sign which allowed you to close the app. It doesn't do that anymore. I also tried turning the iPad off for at least 5 minutes and trying it again and that didn't work either. Anyone else had this problem? Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

force quit app. double click home button and slide app up and off page
Peace, Clyde

What's happening here?

I’ve just set up a wireless connect between this computer and a laptop to share the internet and it seems as if I don’t even have to be using the broadband for it to be downloading e.g. I just tested it by opening a webpage then closing it, after I had closed that page I was still downloading at 4bps? It isn’t much but still if for no reason the usage goes up by 4 bps over a day that starts to sting. I even tried opening and closing a page, then turned the modem off and for over a minute it downloaded at this 4 bps, well that’s what was received on the Local Area Connection Status dialog box and when I turned the modem on again it started it again. But this isn't happening when I don't connect to the Linksys WRT54G e.g. if I disconnect the router from the modem and only use the ADSL2 modem to connect to the net it doesn't happen.
I have two Local Area Connection icons on the taskbar when this is happening. I’m running Windows XP and the L/T Vista; I have noticed that it doesn’t always happen. E.g. If I go into show all connections page and I only have the Local Area Connection icon showing, it’s not happening, but if I have the Local Area Connection and a Internet Gateway icon as well it’s doing it.
If anyone knows what’s going on here and has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers M-B

Thx for everyone that contributed to resolving this issue and to the same person who helped in the set up of the wireless connection, Oh yea that would be me!
In add and remove windows components unclick network service, which got rid of the gateway icon and stopped that downloading.

What would happen with iCloud content when an iOS device is stolen?

What happens when an iOS device gets stolen. Are my contacts, calendars... in danger? When someone delets the content from one device, it is also deleted from my mac. What could I do to prevent this?

Yes content deleted from one device is deleted from another if it's deleted from within the application that uses it. Deleting the iCloud account from a device won't affect any other device.
You should turn on find my phone on each device and if it then gets stolen you can wipe or lock the device from another device or iCloud.com

What's happening here: iCloud Photos preparing photos for 'Photos' app?
