I went to system preferences and signed into the cloud using my me.com apple ID. I have two apple IDs. I chose the me.com one for the cloud. I don't understand how to put things into the 5GB cloud but when I went to my iPad and iPhone, all the music I had ever purchased on my Mac was available under the purchased section of iTunes on the respective gadgets. The ones I hadn't downloaded were available in little cloud icons. I downloaded them and the clouds disappeared and I just got a downloaded message. I don'[t know if I am using the cloud or not. I think so.

There is a lot about the cloud I wish I knew but it seems to be working for purchased music at least. I don't know how to put things in the cloud. It seems to have a mind of it's own.

No Sound with HDMI?

Posted by: "mpstupinski@snet.net" mpstupinski@snet.net   mstupinski

I just purchased a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to be able connect my MBP to my new HDTV. When I hook it up, however, although I get a good picture I get no sound. Doesn't my 2008 MBP provide sound out of its DVI (not mini-DVI) port? If not, I guess I have to use the sound out port on the MBP and connect to the RCA-type jacks on the TV, unless I bought the wrong cable (I thought they were all alike).

Thanks,

Hi,

As far as I am aware no device has ever sent sound via DVI, its video
only, so this is no surprise...

HDMI and Mini Display Port can carry audio. (Which doesn't mean that
they always do.) DVI does not.

Howdy.

You need to get a separate audio cable to connect from audio out port
on MBP to the TV's audio in port.

You can get a good quality RCA type cable & connectors and a number of
makers have an adapter for the MBP end that has a L and R port on it
and ends in a single L&R stereo jack.

Yes it is. Partially because what any given client can do is up to the client. All email is pure text, meaning that it contains only letters and symbols in a standard character set, but it can contain any type of text encoding you like, MIME, HTML, C++ code, whatever, as long as that code is represented using only standard text characters. Whether the recipients client can recognize that encoding is the key. In the early days, this was a major problem (which I why I know something about this). These day, there are several common standards for this encoding, such as "Rich Text" (See below) and HTML so such confusion is rare.

Well, if you really want to get complicated, go read the Wikipedia page on "Rich Text." Bottom line is that this MIME Rich Text is not to be confused with the Rich Text document format, aka RFT. However, I think that Mail is, in fact, conflating the two deliberately and using "Rich Text" as a generic term to refer to text with formatting. They are probably very closely related. I honestly don't know what Apple uses in Mail for formatted text.
>

MIME Rich Text is itself essentially a markup language like HTML, and you don't technically need it to send HTML as HTML code is already simple text. That's not to say that Rich Text does not make it easier for clients to recognize and use embedded HTML properly.
>

Semantics. What Mail and others mean when they say "Plain Text" is text without any encoding. That is, no Rich Text, no HTML, no MIME. If you have no encoding, you can't have pictures or any other files.

When I was referring to "pure text" I mean no binary information, just text characters.

Yes, it's confusing, especially if you are not familiar with text encoding like MIME and HTML.

Oh, that is a shame.

If you have MobileMe, and if you had set up "Back to My Mac," you could go to the MobileMe System Pref pane and turn on "Back to my Mac."

Here's an article about using it, in case you did have it turned on:

<http://images.apple.com/mobileme/docs/L358808A_BackMac_UG_20090401.pdf>

If not, you may have to do what we did when we were robbed last spring:
Go to every bank account, paypal account, login account, computer login, investment account, bank pin numbers, etc., etc., and change your passwords on all of them.

Cancel your credit cards and get new ones. The police recommended we sign up for ProtectMyID, which we did. For a year.

I'm s sorry this happened to you. It's quite a hassle. Make a list of what you have to do, and DO it. But if you had Back to My Mac active, that may be your first line of defense.

John, I think I have more or less resolved my problem. The procedure below may perhaps also work for you.

Going to 'appleid.apple.com' leads as I said in an earlier email to a page which amongst other things offers 'Manage your account'. Clicking that leads to a page directing you to verify your address. The verification takes the form of an email to the address you have given (as ID) and that email from Apple has a 'Verify Now' link to click. Having done that yet another window pops up asking for the Apple ID and Password you have given to be entered again. After that, the Apple ID address is confirmed as 'verified'.

The point of all this is (as explained in the Apple email) to eliminate fraudulent attempts by others to use one's email address. Somehow I managed to miss that step first time round. I think it never occurred to me that to 'Manage your Account' might be relevant before the account (in this case iCloud) had even been opened. It really does seem to be a most obscure and convoluted web page for setting up an ID and a Password to say the least.

Nevertheless, having done that the Apple ID and Password were accepted by iCloud and also by 'App Store'. However, going to my account in the App Store it turned out to be empty; even the purchase of Lion a couple of days ago isn't listed there. Logging out and in again with the old AppleID and Password, lo and behold there is the list of past purchases.

So it seems I have two quite independent 'App Store' accounts and two 'Developer Connection' accounts, one for the old Apple ID and one for the new. I have no idea how to close one of each, nor indeed even if it can be done.

I hope this helps sort out your difficulty; please write if anything here is not clear.

This is Apple's basic advice:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

As of today, it appears that Apple is not, and will not, offer a means of "merging" old accounts. Evidence suggests that this has proven to be too complicated for Apple to bother with.

Video surveillance to iPad

I would like to get a wifi video camera that I can view on my iPad when I'm away from home. I know this would be simple if I just used the camera on my Mac, but the location I want the camera to be does not make that practical. Has anyone done this with good results? I don't need anything expensive. I'm looking to monitor my wood burning stove to see if it's burning well or needs more firewood to keep it going.

Apple's opportunity to expand retail into India

Posted by: "Denver dan" denver.dan@verizon.net   denverdan22180

Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:58 am (PST)



Article in TUAW talking about Apple considering opening Apple Stores in India.

The Indian Government, according to this article, only recently changed Indian law that prohibited non Indian companies like Apple from owning and operating retail stores in India.

It would appear, Nada, that your own government and not Apple is what prevented the presence of Apple Stores in India.

Howdy.

For those with a SSD AND a HD on the same Macintosh.

SSD means Solid State Drive.

TUAW has a pretty good article that discusses two different ways to
have OS X on a fast SSD drive and some or many of the files/folders
from your User account on a HDD on same computer.

This article has a link to an article in Macworld by Christopher Breen
on same topic.

<http://www.macworld.com/article/164891/2012/01/keeping_mac_os_and_data_on_separate_drives.html>

I suggest reading both articles which describe two different ways to go
about doing this.
