Where is fleet management capability and Apple's easy claim to that market share?

Where is fleet management capability and Apple's easy claim to that market share? Are they any ways to track an iPhone's path (meaning stops and history) or any idea when it will be possible to do so?
Our company desperately wants to jump ship from Blackberry. There is nothing helpful about their interface capabilities and we are slaves to a painful BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server). We would pluck down the money for seven new iphones in a heartbeat if they could replicate the functionality of Field Force Manager, which allows us to track the entire path of a remote employee throughout the day. It is my undersetanding that either the laughable Apple policy on "replicating functionality that we already provide" or their policy on turn-by-turn directions prevents anyone from creating an app which would do this. I'm guessing that running GPS apps in the background would also prevent this, although recent updates seem to allow apps to run in the background to a certain extent (i.e. Pandora). It would also be a battery hog, but that is the owners choice.
It would be a flick of the wrist for Apple to incorprate it into iCloud, but apparently they don't want another couple of points of smartphone market share.

I just replaced the hard drive on my g4 PowerBook -I don't know where my original software is and apple won't touch it since its "vintage". Does anyone know what my options are to get my computer working again?

Hello and welcome to the support community
You only option is to buy a copy of Mac OS X, either the retail disk or system disks.
There are places you can by a copy of Mac OS X, like online vendors, Amazon or eBay.
System disk are gray and come with more than one disk. Retail disk are black with a 'X' on them and often come as one DVD disk.
Not sure what version your going to require as you haven't provided any specification and model details.
I would safely assume being a G4, it would be happy to install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
If you could let us know the PowerBook you own, then I am sure we could advise you further.
Best of luck

HT1923 Want to uninstall iTunes and reinstall. Unable to remove Bonjour and Apple folders. Error message that they are in use. iPodService.exe is not running.

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

Managed distribution and Apple ID issues

I am using managed distribution with VPP and MDM, but all the paid apps are not pushing out to devices. Only the free apps are pushed. I think the issue has to do with the student apple ids created with no credit card info. Is this a bug...

So apparently sometime late afternoon-overnight the app pushing has started working a bit. We have 4 paid apps that we use that have not been working as part of this Managed licensing issue. This morning they all seem to be working now. One of the 4 didn't work for the first 10 minutes or so but then just started working as I am typing this up. Very excited to see this functioning at the present time and I hope that it will continue to keep working.
The only hang-up I am noticing at the moment is if any of your AppleID accounts got fudged up during this mess and are requiring you to put credit cards on file. I resolved the one I had by entering a credit card and then immediately going to the payment settings (in a browser) and then selecting none again as the payment method, effectively deleting the card from that users Apple ID.
Let me know if you have any questions for me. So far I haven't received any communications from Apple support regarding this working at the moment. Just crossing my fingers it will continue to keep working and that it is not just 'turned on' briefly while they test.

How do I copy pictures on to a disc that can be viewed in other's computers besides and Apple, or on a disc that I can bring to a photo store to print pictures?

I took pictures at a family reunion and promised to share the photos with all the relatives. I can't get pictures from iphoto onto a disc that can be shared on other computers besides an Apple. I want everyone to be able to view the pictures and print them if they want to. I have a DVD with the pictures on them, how do I make copies of photos (not slideshows of photos) using my Apple?

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a Folder on the Desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder. Result: a disk with a folder of images viewable on any system anywhere.

My g4 running tiger won't startup, got the sound and apple on screen but after that the screen is just blank but not black!

was working fine, today I startup and all seems normal but after the apple logo it just won't start, the screen is just blank.

Hi there,
Does it boot with the Option/alt key held down & show boot choices?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

HT204053 How can i use 2 apple ids on an ipad that i share with my wife?

My wife uses her apple id on her iphone4, use my apple id in my iphone5. I'd like to see both and have the seemless cloud sync with both apple ids on our shared ipad and pc without merging the data into a single id.
Any help would be appreciated.

Decide which will the primary (able to use iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream) Apple ID for your iPad then add a secondary account (Without iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream).

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi urbwebb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iTunes is compatible with Windows 8 and you should have no issue syncing any device to a Windows 8 computer. The Windows System Requirements can be found on the following webpage.

HT1535 my iphone is set to "manually manage music and videos" and it still does not allow me to add music from my other computers.

I have followed the steps in order to manually manage the music on my 3GS iphone. (used the latest version of itunes and my iphone is up to date with iOS5) and it still is not allowing me to add music from another computer.
when i plug it into the second computer, it is asking me to click "manually manage music and videos" again. when i do that, it says it is going to sync with this new library and erase all music that is already there. i dont want this to happen! i only want to add a few select songs from each library. I have waaayy to much to add and erase every time.
both of the computers i am using are PCs and have my itunes id for homesharing... please help me!

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

Question About "Manually Manage Music and Videos"

Hi!
I have a podcast stuck on my iPod. It is not deleted from a Playlist upon syncing, even though I've deleted it from the Playlist in iTunes. It still shows up in the "On My Device" representation of the Playlist, and of course, on the iPod itself. So I thought to manually delete it, but of course it's name is obfuscated in the iPod's directory. So I thought that maybe I could do it by selecting "manually manage music and videos" in iTunes. Presumably files would become human readable then, yes?
Here's my question: What will happen to all the content already on my iPod via syncing if I check that box? Will it all (all 140 GB) disappear and have to be re-synced? Or can I check that box, go in and delete the one podcast, then uncheck the box, all without affecting the rest of the content already on the device?
TIA for your help!

ITunes Unchecks Manually Manage Music and Videos.

Everytime I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer and open up iTunes, the "manually manage music and videos" option becomes unchecked so that I cannot add or delete any music from my iPhone. When I check "manually manage music and videos" again, of course it wants to delete everything because it says I have my device synced to another library. I have never synced my iPhone or plugged my iPhone in any other computer before. I do not even use my iTunes library on my computer -- it is blank because I don't like iTunes and prefer to drag and drop files into my phone, which is what manually manage music and videos means, right?
It has become so annoying to have to delete all my files and reload them all again just to add one mp3 to the phone. Then when I reconnect, it doesn't allow me to manually manage again.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes numerous times and it has not fixed the problem. I have my iPhone set to not automatically open iTunes when it is connected to my computer. I also have it set to not sync anything. I am using Windows Vista. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Please help!

This post I found & pasted below seems to explain it best - this is only for Ipod (& Ipad?) the iPhone 4 will only let you add from 1 computer supposedly. Basically IF YOU CHECK THE MANUALLY MANAGE BOX YOU CAN NOT SYNC WITHOUT ERASING AND ADDING, BUT YOU CAN DRAG & DROP FILES TO THE DEVICE INSTEAD
What is the "Manually Manage Music and Vidios" option on itunes + ipod?
When I connect my ipod on my computer theres this ipod page + 1 of the options is "Manually Manage Music and Videos". What does that do if i select it? The reason I'm asking is that I don't want to mess up my ipod if I do select it. + later I can't change it back. THANKS!

It is the best and easiest way to use your ipod.
When you manually manage your music you choose what to add and delete from the ipod. You dont have to sync your ipod.
When it is on manual you can use your ipod on as many computers and itunes libraries as you want without losing any music off your ipod.
You just drag and drop the songs, videos and playlists you want from the itunes library to the ipods name.
Right click and delete what you dont want from the main playlists under the ipods name.
Nothing will ever be deleted or added until you direct it and you can safely use it on any computer.
If you click manually manage music nothing will change on your ipod as it is now until you physically add or delete things.
If you resync with an itunes library later, though, you have to be careful because anything not in that itunes library will be deleted off the ipod. I always keep my ipod manually managed because I use it on several diff computers.
or you just highlight the 20 songs together and drag them in one action
some people are so lazy, lol
Think if it this way
If it is manually managed and you go to your friends house you can use her itunes library which means basically getting music from any other itunes library you want. Not just your own.

3000 Assignment manager rules and 3000 workflows

Our business have given 3000 Business rules for the routing purpose. To implement this we need to create 3000 assignement manager rules and 3000 workflows. I know that there is no limitation in SOD for creating Rules and workflows.
What i need to know , has anyone created so many Rules and workflows? If Yes , then was it all done manually?
Thanks.
S

What are the performance implications of Workflow Rules? ** Workflow Rules are evaluated in sequence and synchronously. Therefore, unless all the rules are evaluated, the overall update is not completed. This will add a certain amount of latency. For example, each task creation can add as much as 20% latency to an update and emails about 5%. Expressions take less time to evaluate. To minimize latency, add restrictive conditions and use workflows judiciously.

Can os x server Profile Manager updates iOS os and appl installation?

I've currently use Apple configurator to push profiles, update OS and app deployment to our College ipads. Have been told to use os x server to deploy instead. After upgraded the macbook air to mountain lion and install os x server, i'm kinda wondering does the profile manager in os x server is only for pushing out profiles and assigning users to the ipads etc? Do i still need to use apple configurator to do all the updates and appl installed first then use profile manager to push profile?
We've got quite alot of ipads need setting up and we normal use a ipad case where one usb cable connect to the laptop and charging case to deploy our apps.
