Quick question � do you know if there�s a way to let people upload files to your mobile me iDisk, without them having to enter your private account password in? Kinda like a public drop box? I know there are other services out there, but trying to see if I can do it all on mobile me, without having to sign up for additional services from other providers.
View 1 RepliesI have no password on my idisk public folder. When I connect via a web browser (safari, firefox, ie 6) it still asks for a password. I have set and removed the password countless times. I connect via: ([URL], the public as user and the password). Only in firefox it asks for the password, I hit cancel without typing anything, it asks again, I hit cancel again and then I get access.
In IE6 and safari it asks once for the password, doesn't accept whatever I type and then loads forever without ever showing me the contents. It seems there is a permission problem or so. even when I set a password it will not accept it. i turn password off and still no luck. Why do I pay 100 bucks and then I can't use the idisk public folder? Logging into the idisk itself via a browser works fine. I just can't give anybody access to my idisk public folder even when I use the recommended browsers.
I have turned on File Sharing on the server, and having logged into my iDisk via Finder, I thought I could drag the folder from the Finder window to the Public folder icon on Lion Server, but no luck.
I am signed into Lion Server as the admin, so what should I do? I'm trying to copy those files from the iDisk before time runs out and Apple scrubs iDisk!
Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.1), Numbers '09
I was usnig the iDisk on my older iMac to backup some of my data files, such as my Quicken backup. My older computer had crashed and I have not been able to access the icloud idisk.

Since adding Growl 1.2 (no problem with earlier versions) I continually get a pop-up error message entitled "iDisk Error" that states "There is a problem syncing the file 'Growl.prefPane'. The destination (iDisk) does not support symlinks. Try compressing the file or folder first." I went to the Growl forum for help and was told that Growl doesn't use symlinks and that therefore the problem must be with MacOSX and/or File Sync or some configuration on my system. I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro, with max RAM and MacOSX 10.6.1. My only alternative right now seems to be to uninstall Growl.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis was a big selling point of the service -- being able to send direct links to people via email to allow them to download files from your iDisk (like [URL]). Not only is it not there, but according to a thread on Apple Support, Apple has removed the video presentation of the feature from the web site.
View 39 Replies View RelatedThis only started happening recently, ever since I added a personal domain. I still host on mobile me, but I just use godaddy for my domain name.
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix for this? because It takes entirely too long to upload my entire site every single time I make any 1 change.
And yes, for the record I am choosing the option "Publish site changes" NOT "Publish Entire site"
I find direct to vimeo uploads useful from FCPX because clients can view/stream or download files depending on their requirements.
But since I upgraded to 10.1.3 the uploads fail about 50% of the time. Error message "Upload to vimeo failed. Request timed out".
I can't find anything wrong. Is it just a bug with this version of FCP?
I'm aware the workaround is quite simple (Share to disk then upload from there) but due to the volume of stuff I'm exporting (e.g. testing 60 different music tracks on the same 30 second film) the direct upload shortcut can actually save me large amounts of time.
So the new iPhoto '11 brings new features and enhancements to Facebook, but it doesn't say if it supports the new "HD" picture uploads facebook just added a few days ago. So, any of you first buyers could check that out please Ps: yes I did search, and apple.com doesn't say anything about that either. Oh and btw I can't check myself since I live in Chile and everything takes like a century to arrive down here, damn you apple lol

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy public folder was name using my full name. How can I change this? Firstly, where did it get my name from? Maybe I typed my full name in at some point - I can't remember, but now i use my intials for my login name and proper short name. I deselected the folder for sharing then reselected it trying to find if it was re-nameable and in doing this my full name has disappeared but my short name or initials havent been used - so now it just says "Public" - does anyone know how to name this so when someone selects my laptop under Network it shows "Yuan's" Public Folder? Maybe if I restart the laptop or repair permissions it will correct itself - ill try now.

I'll probably upgrade my version. I like Forklifts blend of power without the feature creep.
Recently I acquired an Airport Extreme base station. I have 2 wifi networks because I am not on cable, it's an adsl service. At the moment the extreme is in bridge mode and its like the 2 networks are fused together, so the PC can access my mac's files and so on.
However, I want to be able to point to opendns' name servers inside my extremes settings, as opposed to individual computers, and wondered that if I got it to share a public ip address, would it bugger up my connectivity in any way? I'm too wuss to try it in case i can't connect.
While on a recent trip, my wife tried to connect to an unsecured wifi network named "free public wifi". I told her to cancel it quick since I had remembered reading something about viral ssid's named that. Does anyone know if this would affect a mac? I'm not even convinced that if fully connected, since it wasn't listed in her preferred networks pane, but I just wanted to make sure.

I'm able to easily access it and use my login to access the public folder on my home network. My question is, how can i set up a system by which remotely, I can login to access JUST the public folder on my mini. Is this possible? If not, what else could I do that would allow something like this.

how to diagnose and fix? the win 7 dianostics do nothing.
I'm at the airport where they have free public wifi. There are about 40 people's macbook hard drives online with their drop box.
How do I disable my drop box on public wifi connections? How do I make a drop box alias that doesn't have my last name on it? This seems very insecure and an invasion of privacy to me.

I've just recently came across the software 1Password and I was thinking of purchasing a copy.However, before I do I was wondering if someone that uses the software could answer this questions:How am I able to access my passwords when I am using a public computer - i.e. machines at the library? Can I log into a website to find out my passwords?I noticed there is a 1Password app for the iPhone. Is there a free version of this if you buy the version for Mac? Do I need to buy this in order to have my passwords on-the-go?piece of software.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI never download betas, jailbreak, or hack anything. I went on tuaw and they had links to Itunes 10.1 beta and iOS 4.2 GM and I couldnt resist. I have been running both for a week now. The itunes beta has a BIG BUG that is driving me nuts! Whenever I try to edit a song or artist name by clicking on it, Itunes force closes.
This happens every single time. My questions is for those who are used to testing betas and early releases: Once Itunes 10.1 is officially released, will it show up as a software update that I could just upgrade to? How does one update from a beta to a final public release of an application?
I've got an old iBook G4 that I'm using as a file server. I've set up public/private key SSH authentication on the machine. Here are the steps I've followed: Create a non-admin user account on the iBook. ('craig'). Log in on the iBook physically, and create a public/private key combination that is password protected. I was very careful to remember my password.
Add the public key to authorized_keys2, which is the file specified in /etc/sshd_config
I used a USB thumbdrive to transfer the private key to my Macbook. I tried to log in to the iBook using:
Code:
ssh 192.168.1.147 -i ~/Desktop/craig/id_dsa -v
It prompts me for a password, but entering it properly does not grant access, the window just pops up again. Running in verbose mode, I see:
Code:
debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi,publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key: /Users/Craig/.ssh/id_dsa_craig
debug1: Authentications that can continue: gssapi,publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Trying private key: /Users/Craig/Desktop/craig/id_dsa
debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
First, it's trying to use a public key in my .ssh folder that I don't specify. Second, when it finally gets around to using the private key I suggested, authentication fails. I can post my sshd_config file if you think it will help, but I don't want to clog the tubes.
So i wanted to set my freinds up with sharing accounts so they can access my public folder..... this is all done and working. But i wanted to also give them read only access to another folder on another drive. So ive set the permissions for the drive, folder and enclosing folder, but it still doesnt appear when they mount my share.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know about you guys but I am excited! This new version supports Exchange 2007 SP1 with Rollup 4 or later natively! Autodiscovery, Tasks sync, notes sync and categories sync is also fully supported. The best thing is that when ready it will be available to all Entourage customers for free (Standard or Media Edition of Office)

"Say hello to Exchange Web Services; The future of Entourage!
I'm excited to tell you about the future for Entourage connectivity to Exchange Server! We've transitioned away from WebDAV, and today we are announcing the public beta of the Entourage for Exchange Web Services client. With this new client, not only are we taking advantage of the Exchange Web Services connectivity, but we are also delivering some new user features such as:
* Tasks, Notes, and Categories now sync with the Exchange Server
* Resolving names against the Global Address List now works via EWS/HTTP. This means you no longer need to be connected to your corporate network via VPN to resolve names when addressing an e-mail or meeting invitation
* Improved Autodiscover. In Entourage for Exchange Web Services Beta, the Autodiscover service keeps user account settings up-to-date after the account setup.
- It runs in the background every time that you start Entourage.
- It also runs at a server-defined interval, typically every hour, to make sure that the Exchange Server settings are always kept up-to-date"
You will need to register to get the new beta. Acceptance to the beta can take up to 48 hours..I am still waiting to be accepted to the beta. I cant wait..
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx
It is not a new Entourage but a client that runs as a daemon on Mac every time Entourage starts!
