Will Someone explain what is ICloud?

I just set up my Icloud and required me to have an email address for it. Could someone explain to me what is, the purpose and what has my new email address has to do with it. Thank you.

iCloud has many divisions: mail, find my iphone/ipod/mac/ipad, iwork, pictures, itunes, bookmarks, apps. Apple wants us to connect all our devices with one another. So for example, you were reading an article in your iPad and then you want to read it with your iPhone because your taking the train to work. All you have to do is bookmark it and it will autimatically sync it to all your iDevices. If you buy an app, you can download it through the cloud with your other iDevices without using iTunes.
Apple has invested over a billion for a facility in North Carolina specifically for the iCloud. And its FREE! for all of us to enjoy. But you can upgrade more than 5GB of documents, songs, etc. if you want.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Could someone explain what is Object?

Could someone explain what is Object? I have a little
idea what is it, but not sure. Please give me some
concret example. Thanks.

An object is an Instance of a class. A class describes a uniwue entity with behaviors and attributes. For example you can consider your arm.
public class Arm {
/** How many hairs on the arm. */
private int hairCount; // <== This is an attribute
/** This is a method to set the hairCount Variable.
   * We dont let the outside user set it directly because that would
   * create problems if we wanted to change its implementation to
   * use a float. In addition we might have logic in this setter to
   * prevent bad data.
public void setHairCount(final int hairCount) {
    // this is a good example of logic in the set method that we dont
    // want the user to bypass.
    if (hairCount < 0) {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException();
    this.hairCount = hairCount; // <-- Note how we have to use this. to
                                //     access the instance variable
                                //     insead of the parameter.
/** This is a method to move the arm.
   * This is behavior of the class. ONLY behavior pertaining to an arm
   * belongs in the arm class. For example, the method "sneeze" would
   * not belong here but be in the Nose class instead. You can see then
   * that each class describes an entity.
public void move() {
    // code to move the arm.
}We have only ONE class per type but we can have many objects. For example the description of an arm does not change no matter who'se arm it is. The data in the class changes but not the actual essence of the arm. So we instantiate two arms for every person (assuming they arent disabled). To instantiate is to create a new object like so.
Arm myarm = new Arm(): This creates a new object that we can work with.
So consider the old inteview question of, "What is the difference between a class and an object?" The answer is, "A class is a map or desription of an object; whereas an object is a descrite instance of a class."

Could someone explain what's happening? (pretty long)

This post is similar to the one I have posted earlier. I was hoping someone could explain to me what really is going on in the server.
I have a page where I have a header, left menu, right menu, footer. These are inluded jsp files using the include directive. In the main body I check if the request for the page was a post, do some actions with my beans then redirect to another page. So basically my code looks something like this:
   if (request.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("POST")) {
      // do some stuff with my beans
     response.sendRedirect("OtherPage.jsp");
     return; )When I reach the redirect that''s when I get an error: Microsoft Internal error. If I take off the redirect everything works except my user is still left in hte same page. The error occurs while I'm still loading my left menu. My left menu is made up of 2 sections. The first one is the menu options which is generated through JSP, and the second half the links of the site which is plain HTML. So I did a little experimentation. First I tried using the jsp:forward instead of the redirect. Still no go. Then I tried cutting my left menu to the point where I usually get the error, that's the part of the links. So I took of the links in the left menu - the pure HTML part of the menu, and it worked. So I tried generating the links through JSP as well. I got the error again. After researching in the forums I tried increasing the buffer size. A suggestion I saw in previous posts with people with similar problems. I increased the buffer size to 9kb using the <%@ page buffer ="9" %>. It worked. I restored my left menu the way it was before, and thikn s worked fine.
What's bugging me is that my left menu is very simple. It's just has a small background image and some links. The main page is just a simple form as well. I really don't see why there is a need to increase the buffer size. Is my design flawed and inefficient? Or is the need to increase the buffer a common thing in web applications?
I was also thinking could it be that I'm trying to send another response while still processing the current response? I noticed in some sites they do not redirect, instead the just post a page and link to the page where the user has to go. Is my approach wrong? Are you allowed to redirect in the manner I have?
If my design is wrong, what are the other approaches in performing the preocedure? Are there other methods that are more efficient which do not require an increase of the buffer?
I was hoping someone could explain what really is happening behind the scene, so I can decide what is the best approach. This is my first time doing a web application and everything is still new. Hoping to learn from you gurus. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi,
Vicky I did uncheck the show user friendly errors and
I still get "an internal error has occured in the
Microsoft internal extensions". Unless I'm doing
something wrong. If it's any help I'm still using ie
5. But I can tell you this, the error is raised while
I'm still in the same page. The page posts to itself
do some validation then redirects. When I hit the
redirect That's when I get the error.It should have shown you the actual Exception,Ibelieve even after unchecking the show user friendly error the response is comming from cache...So now try this Tools-----General---DeleteFiles----AlloffLine files(Check this)....
Now try the response....
As regards to the buffer I tried increasing it to 9kb
instead of the default 8kb and everything worked fine.
Right now what I did with the page is keep the buffer
at it's default 8kb size, it shows some message and
provides a link to direct the user where to go. I
don't think it's a Java exception because I have an
error page that displays the exception and the stack,
and I don't get redirected there. I think it has
something to do with either the buffer and/or creating
another response. Of course I could be wrong, I'm
still trying to figure things out and me being a
newbie and all I'm not getting anywhere.Well,try to access the page directly I mean OtherPage,jsp,which comes from response.sendRedirect.......
Are you allowed to redirect while processing a
response in the first place?Of cource you can....Actually if we see logically once the response is generated at the server it can be send as it is being generated or it can be stored in buffer at the server and then send at one time so the I/o allocations are not held forf the longer times.The default for the jsp is buffered state which can hold 8k,what will happen if the response you are trying to write is more than 8k,it will flush the old storage(check this) can depend on container implementation also....
You get IllegalStateException if the the autoflush=false defined by you....
Can you post the code of the two files let me see.
regards vicky

Updated to Yosemite recently, keep on getting efi and kernel panics. Can someone explain what this report means?

This is the crash report I just got. I am just doing random work and this happens. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what this means. I have fixed my computer with DiskWarrior 3 times but this just keeps happening. I also have bootcamp and it's doing absolutely fine.

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi hotspot?

Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

Bluetooth: can someone explain what you can do with it?

On the iPhone, is bluetooth only for pairing with a BT headset? no data transferring/receiving whatsoever with a powerbook? if so, has Apple gone mad?
thanks

It is easier to explain what it cannot do.
• it does not support OBEX file exchanges
• it does not support DUN connections via Bluetooth to connect your computer through it to the internet
• it does not synchronize contact, events or media files
Support for synchronization and file transfer it available only via USB through iTunes 7.3 or later.

Can someone explain what Automater is to me, in simple terms?

Hi, anyone out there wanna explain what Automater is for what it does etc.
Thanks in advance
Tracy

Hi Tracy
Launch Automator and select "Help Viewer Help?" from the Help Menu. One of the things you'll see listed there is:
*+Discover Automator+*
+Create time-saving automations without programming a single line of code.+
I'm currently on a mac running 10.4 but I can't see it being that different for 10.5? If you click on the link you get this explanation:
+Automator is an innovative personal automation assistant that makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks. Automator lets you skip the complex programming and scripting that is normally required to create automations. Individual steps called actions can be assembled into a complete task by dragging actions into an Automator workflow. You can run your completed workflows repeatedly, and even share them with others.+
If you scroll down that help page there are more explanations and examples. Is that simple enough for you?

Can someone explain what "gfx-surface-win32" is in about:memory?

I have an extension that causes "gfx-surface-win32" in about:memory to use excessive amounts of memory. I have tried to contact the developer of the extension without any success. I was going to try and see if I could fix it but I can figure out what "gfx-surface-win32" is. Can some please explain what this is?

It's a graphics memory usage. The only solution I see is to [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?|update your graphics drivers]] because it's not recommended to change an extension you are not going to maintain.
Note that in Firefox 15 (released on August 28), leaky extensions won't leak in Firefox. See [http://blog.kylehuey.com/post/21892343371/fixing-the-memory-leak Kyle Huey's blog post].

Streaming, can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

I have two ATVs both synced to one computer. I have a large music library on a second computer but can't find how to stream to one of the ATVs.
I followed the instructions in the booklet, opened iTunes on the relevant computer, chose sources on the ATV, "Connect to New iTunes" and noted the passcode, selected the ATV icon and "Click to set up", entered the passcode and the ATV icon disappeared. "My Library" shows in the sources but the ATV icon only re-appears on the computer if I switch to "Connect to New iTunes". If I then click on the icon the ATV page opens up with details of the ATV and a message saying that the ATV icon will only appear when "My Library" is selected on the ATV, but as soon as I do that the ATV icon disappears. The help file says in System Preferences sharing pane make sure "iTunes Music Sharing" is on! There is no "iTunes Music Sharing"!!
Please, can someone take this idiot through the process step by step, including how you start streaming once you have successfully made the connection?

Glad to see everything is starting to work out.
You might consider two user accounts (that's logins) with a music library in each. It's a little more work to operate, but probably less than having two libraries in one user account and providing both users are logged in and have itunes running you should get both libraries available to you at the same time on the tv (obviously you would need to switch between them on the tv).
Otherwise I'd consolidate them by opening itunes (with library 1) and then dragging and dropping the music files from the music folder of library 2 onto itunes, I'd start by doing a few tunes to satisfy yourself that all is OK, you can probably do them in large chunks but I'd probably not drag them all at once, if something did go wrong you probably wouldn't lose any files but it might be difficult to figure out what files had been added and which hadn't before the problem occurred.

When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the Setup Assistant will walk you through entering account information or turning on certain features. If you skip setup, you can always go back and enter details or make changes by following the steps outlined in these articles:
Connecting to the Internet
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID
Setting up iCloud
Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPhone
Activating iPhone with your carrier
During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPhone by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes

Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
This is not where you should store that stuff.
Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.

Can someone explain what Apple did to remedy the battery life in version 1?

My original post got deleted...i guess it violated the TOS for "ranting" and "speculation".
Yes, the 3g iPhone is an amazing piece of technology with MANY features....but I simply cannot use them and expect it to be a dependable functional telephone at the same time. For years, I have had phones that remain on standby possibly for days, make lots of calls, do lots of texting, browse the net...etc...you get the point.
I purchased the iphone for the push feature, the 3G feature, the wifi feature and the ability to use it as a telephone ......dependably. I work on-call and need to have a phone on at all times day or night. I charge my phones overnight but still have NEVER had a phone lose a charge as quickly as the iPhone does.
Apple's solution right now is to turn off all the features that make the phone so attractive in the first place.
I suspect that I am like a lot of others in that I did not buy this PHONE (yes, it is a phone after all and should have adequate battery life to serve as a phone) to selectively and actively take the time in between calling, browsing, etc. to remember to turn wifi on and off, turn my 3G network on and off and then manually push email. This kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there something Apple can do to remedy this situation via software updates or are some of has hoping for a pipe dream that simply will/cannot happen? I know with the first iPhone there were updates that dealt with battery life. Does anybody know what the formaer updates did physically? I hope something can be done with the 3g version, because right now it is not usable and may need to be returned.
Any software/hardware engineer types out there who can advise if this is indeed a fixable thing or should I return the phone? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to keep this thing, but as it is now, it is totally not usable for me.
Thanks for reading. . . .hope there is a solution!
(hope this isn't "too speculative" to be tossed again for violating the TOS)

I suspect this is your first 3G phone and if so, this is a common problem with all 3G phones and a big complaint. Other 3G phones have a swappable battery which having is a requirement. Since the iPhone does not have a swappable battery, an extra wall charger or keeping the wall charger handy is required. Or having a computer nearby with a USB port along with having a vehicle charger.
If you aren't interested in turning off available features to conserve battery when needed or wanted, and you use your iPhone regulary for web and email account access via 3G, the battery won't last the day - which is the same for any 3G smart phone. With no swappable battery, if the other alternatives are not acceptable, you should return it.

Will Someone explain what is ICloud?
