Bittorrent sync approval process not working properly - bittorrent-sync

I created a link to share a folder, deselecting the option that peers I invite must be approved on this device.
The other person used the link, and received a message that the "Sender needs to approve access to this folder based on these identity details".
My bittorrent sync window isn't showing me anything to indicate that someone is waiting on approval. I've never shared a folder via a link before (always just used keys directly on previous versions), so I have no idea how the program is supposed to prompt me for approval, and I can't find any documentation indicating how this prompt would be provided.
So there seem to be two problems here:
1. Even though I said the link doesn't require approval, they are being told that it does.
2. I don't have any way to approve it.
What's going on here? How do I fix this?
Thanks.

The most common cause of this is one of the systems having clock time out of sync too much, usually resetting your computers time using an online time server resolves it.

Azure subscription disabled in portal but active on the account.windowsazure.com

I wanted to transfer resources (web apps) from an old subscription that had been disabled onto my new active subscription. I created a support request and they changed the disabled subscription into a Pay-As-You-Go -type and now using PowerShell I should be able to transfer my work over.
However I am still unable to access the old resource group in PS, for example when using Get-AzureRMResourceGroup only the new group I created comes up. I am also unable to do absolutely anything with my old work, even though the sub should now be active. I believe this is the reason I am unable to make the transfer. The title poses the actual dilemma that I believe is the root of my problems so, does anyone know a way to change this? Also I am happy to be corrected if I'm way off, or just be suggested an alternative approach.
Here's a silly picture to show the inconsistency I'm speaking of.

Lync 2013: ConferenceFailureException "maxConferencesExceeded"

After some googling I found that this reason if caused by too many scheduled conferences by my Application Endpoint. My only problem is, how do I delete/remove currently stored scheduled conferences for my application endpoint, when the only access I have to my server is through PowerShell??
EDIT:
Just found a command that actually could increase number of scheduled meetings per organizer (Set-CsUserServicesConfiguration -MaxScheduledMeetingsPerOrganizer 2000), but it didn't change the issue. I'm still receiving MaxConferencesExceeded error. Any ideas??
Use Get-CsUserServicesConfiguration to make sure the change has actually occurred, and/or setting it globally to make sure it has the correct context for your users.
I've also found with a large pool, it can take a while to kick in.
Have you tried republishing your Lync topology after making the change? A bit dramatic, but can help with Lync gets itself into a knot with changes.

Open links from newly received emails automatically

is there are program or script or anything that will make my email client/webmail to open webpage links from newly received emails automatically?
If someone knows or can make a add-on for thunderbird or make this to work I don't mind paying. Just I need links that are in emails I receive to be automatically opened in default internet browser tabs.
All I can say is I very very much doubt it. If there ever was one created it would most probably be removed by most download source providers as there is a fairly huge security risk there.
Additionally, aside from the security factor you have a simple load factor to account for. I regularly make newsletters for clients, each with a link to a text version, a online version, a link for the logo and so forth... So if you did have such a plugin you would also open these links, which seams crazy. Additionally, remember the Unsubscribe link for emails, on some you are asked to confirm on others you click(/open), your taken off. Which would be very undesired.
I do understand you probably have a reason X for doing this, like because its a in house email system which creates reports and it does this and does that etc. I think most people here do understand there are sometimes very odd usage cases for things, but I don't think anyone will be able to assist you here, sorry!

Password login for ios app

I am currently developing an app for a company that is in a very competitive field. I have finished all of the features of the app that they requested except for one, making it somehow protected from their competing companies to download and use. I thought that I could set up a UIViewController with a password field that would check against some kind of database, but I'm not sure how to do the checking against a database part nor the practicality of it, and was hoping I could get some ideas on how to do this so that other companies couldn't steal and use this app without a password or something that changes like every 30 days or something and is kind of like an activation code.
Review the WWDC 2012 video "Building and Distributing Custom B2B Apps for iOS". I'm unsure if your app is in this B2B classification, it seems that it might be from your description.
What I ended up doing (if everyone needs a reference) was setting up a server with an SQL table that has pass codes in it. Since apple does not allow for any sort of system that requires you to "buy the app from outside the app store" I made a dumby username field (shame on me) that takes any value you like and then requires to have a pass code that fits. Once the pass code gets authenticated with the web server in a json sql request (there are plenty of api's to do this with) it comes back and sends the user to the first screen and sets a value in a plist with how many days of use the user has left. Whenever the user opens up the app it checks to see if the date is different from the last date logged in (saved in the same plist file) and if it is different then it calculates the difference and deducts that many. When the count reaches 0 it sends the user to the pass code authentication screen again. A bit complicated but an effective method of getting around Apple's restriction on not having a sort of pass code system like this. Thanks for the answers, unfortunately enterprise did not work for this company since they needed to be able to distribute the app to as many 3rd party members as they wanted to without having to worry about them leaving the company for other suppliers and remote management of the app (I.e ability to remote uninstall) was also not an option. Hope this helps someone someday!

Persistence on an online click once application

Is there a way to persist an string from an online click once application. I saw something about isolated file storage as answers to other questions. But none of them specify if it works also for online apps (I really don't think so).
I think that something like a cookie will work. Is there something like that available?
The application must run only online (is triggered with some parameters), but for each user it needs to save a file with specific information asked to him. Once the app runs for the very first time it must not ask for that info to the user.
Thanks.
You can store the information in LocalApplicationData. Just create a directory with either your application name or your company name, stick the string in a file, and read it from there. This article shows you how to persist this data, and not have it impacted by ClickOnce updates. It will work even though your application is online-only. (Online-only C/O apps are still installed, it just means it always runs it from the URL, and requires the user to be connected in order to install the app.)
