Abstract:
A method at a client device includes displaying media library information corresponding to a set of media items. The media items include one or more local media items, the one or more local media items including media items stored at the client device, and one or more remote media items, the one or more remote media items including media items stored at a remote system and not at the client device. The method also includes displaying, concurrently with displaying the media library information, affordances identifying the remote media items; detecting user interaction with an affordance identifying a respective remote media item; and in response to detecting the user interaction, initiating a process for downloading a copy of the respective remote media item to the client device for storage at the client device.

Abstract:
Techniques are provided for causing a file to be sent from a source device (110) over a network (120) to one or more destination devices (150A-C). An intermediary (130) receives a notification of a file and determines which destination device(s) are to retrieve the file. The intermediary (130) may determine the destination device(s) (150A-C) based on one or more attributes of the file. The intermediary may cause the file to be stored in persistent storage that is maintained by a separate storage service (140). The intermediary (130) may cause the file to be deleted after a particular period of time. The source device (110) may send multiple versions of a file to the intermediary (130), which determines which destination device (150A-C) is to receive which version. The file may be a digital image and a destination device (150A-C) may be a device that displays a slideshow of digital images while the destination device receives the digital image over a network.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to a service associated with an account. The program provides a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service. Next, the program receives an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account. The program then accesses the service and receives a rejection of a subsequent access to the service. The program then provides the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a unique (or quasi unique) identifier can be received by an application store, or other on-line store, and the store can create a signed receipt that includes data desired from the unique identifier. This signed receipt is then transmitted to a device that is running the application obtained from the on-line store and the device can verify the receipt by deriving the unique (or quasi-unique) identifier from the signed receipt and comparing the derived identifier with the device identifier stored on the device, or the vendor identifier assigned to the application vendor.
