First time setup - how to change name...
Here's the deal. I bought my brother in law Macbook Pro and when I bought it the feller in the shop helpfully helped me set it up. At the time I did not know my brother in laws apple ID so I used mine. I used my name too. Now - I worked out hot to register it again with his Apple ID.. BUT he still gets my name popping up from time to time. For example when he makes a movie or slide show he tells me that the slide show or movie tells him that I made it - not him...how to change this name?
Make sure you have changed the name under the Accounts Preference pane in System Preferences. Without deleting the account and recreating it or using some command line fancy footwork, you can't completely change over the name, since your folders will still be under the old name because they were created that way, but you can change the log on name and such from there. Also, make sure until Sharing, you have changed the computer's name if that bugs you too.

How to go back to first time setup assistant?
Hi, 1st time mac user. I just missed to migrate my PC data to my MBA during the first time setup. As I wanted to keep my mails and it's setting from my PC to the initial mac user account, is restoring my MBA to it's factory setting the only way?
Please help!Thanks! The url does offer excellent advice.
In the end, I did a clean install (factory default) and start all over again.
Since then, I've been pretty much disarray as I found out half of my outlook mails didn't get port over. -

Just sold my G4 450 Dual and I offered to do a fresh install of 10.4.11 but I don't know how to get there from original 10.4 disks. Is there a way to start up , enter info, get online and do updates, then revert to first-time setup with the welcome screen??

Problems with first time setup
Hi to all and please be kind to this new applee. I am vary familar with Windows but not Apple.
I am having problems with first time setup. Choice wifi network ZAJ34 has full connectino bars but requires a password to connect with it. Tried to use "Connect to iTunes" and plugged in the USB cable. Windows7 ran ok and "MyComputer\Apple iPod" shows up in Explorer. All I get to is the screen that shows the cable pointing to the music symbol. I am new to Applie iPod so I am totally lost. I have the Apple iPod touch 8GB Black (4th Generation) CURRENT MODEL.
Operating System - iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software) downloaded, not sure.
Thanks
WayneI find this,
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How? I am not past selecting a network.]
Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel. I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc. -
how can i format my macbook 10.5.8 to snow leopord i am doing first time format how its process and do i need to formet or upgrade and i have a snow leopard DVD???
First, I'd advise you to make a backup. Time Machine is fine, but I recommend making a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner if possible.
Then, insert the Snow Leopard DVD (it's a retail version, right? Not a grey disk meant for another machine?) and run the installer on the disk. Should be automatic from that point in. You don't need to reformat your drive.

IPad 2 7.0.4 randomly goes back into first time setup
I have had my iPad 2 for 2 years now and I've been very happy with it, however last week I installed 7.0.4 and it forced my iPad to go into the first time setup (like what you see when you restore) and I lost all my settings, but I thought it was a one time thing the update wanted. Now, I picked it up and it wanted to go over the setup again, and again it deleted all my settings and apps. No one has touched it other than me, and the last time I used it was to listen to some music yesterday. The iPad had 75% battery when I picked it up and at no time did the battery die on it. This is very frustrating and it all started when I updated to 7.0.4.
Has anyone else see this and if so what can I do to stop it?Back it up and restore it through iTunes.

Time machine setup - how to change 'wireless network name' and settings?
I have moved laptop to Mountain Lion.
This is the first time to backup to Timecapsule.
I went to Settings then Select Disk and selected existing Time Machine.
It took more than 30 minutes and seemed stuck on 'Preparing ....".
I cancelled and tried to 'Setup Time Capsule not listed"...
The system recognised the Time Capsule but I see that the network settings is my old 'wireless network' name.
How do I change this to the correct network name and ensure that the settings are correct?
I think if this is corrected, the backup will work.
Thanks in advance.On the Home screen of the product control panel, touch the right arrow ( ) to view more options.
Touch Setup ( ).
Touch Network .
Touch Wi-Fi Protected Setup .
Touch PIN .
Touch Start . The product displays a PIN.
NOTE:The product begins a timer for approximately two minutes to allow you time to enter the PIN on the networking device.
Enter the PIN on the WPS-enabled router or other networking device.

I want to make a program that will ask for the ID of the testing machine the first time the program is running, then will never ask for it. I'm using Labview 6.0
Hi
There are a Couple of methods you can use for this.
Method 1 -
You can create an ini file and save a boolean Key "First Instance" as True. Now In your Program you read this Key, If it is True then you can show your ID Dialog VI.If False do not run the VI. At the Conclusion of Id Dialog you can update this registry enrty to False. So In effect you have created One time Event. In fact you can save ID as another Config entry.
The Drawback and advantage is that such an INI file can be edited by someone moderately knowledgeable about the Program
Method 2
Use Unitialized Shift Register in A while Loop. Please see LV2 style Globals entry under this forum. You can read and write to this Variable and it retains the Value it last had within it.
You can read
this Global the Very first time and say if it true you display your ID Vi. If False you dont. When you display your ID Vi you can Update your Global Like Before.
If you need Example Let me Know.
Good Luck

How to change name of downloaded file by URLLink.acsm
When I browser my URLLink.acsm:
"http://host:8080/fulfillment/URLLink.acsm?action=...."
it download a file named "URLLink.ascm". How can I change that file name to "title.acsm" insteed of "URLLink.ascm"?
For example: "ShakespearInLove.acsm".
I'm using ACS4 4.1
Many thanks,Thanks for this thread !!!
...that Is a question I asked myself today as I used Adobe ADE for the first time.
(I hope they enhance it --- it is REALLY unpractical for reading eBooks).
When you open the URLLink.acsm file in a Text-Editor,
you will see a lot of tags inside < and >, like:
<fulfillmentToken>
<distributor>...</distributor>
<operatorURL>...</operatorURL>
<expiration>...</expiration>
<transaction>...</transaction>
<resourceItemInfo>
<resource>...</resource>
<resourceItem>1</resourceItem>
<metadata>
<dc:title>...</dc:title>
<dc:creator>...</dc:creator>
<dc:format>...</dc:format>
<dc:publisher>...</dc:publisher>
<thumbnailURL>...</thumbnailURL>
</metadata>
<src>...</src>
<downloadType>simple</downloadType>
</resourceItemInfo>
<hmac>...</hmac>
</fulfillmentToken>
I tried to change the filename inside the <dc:title> tag.
However this is the filename on the server where you download your eBook.
Does anyone know an "<output-tag>" that lets the user determine the filename?
Or any other solution??
Strange that on the whole www this question has only been asked once... -

Changing or deleting an event
You can change the time, day, alarm, or any other settings for any events you’ve created, or you can delete an event.
You can’t change the events on a calendar you’ve subscribed to (subscribed calendars appear in your Calendar list under the heading “Subscriptions”), and you can only change the calendar, status, and alarms for events you’ve been invited to.
To change or delete an event:
To change the time or day of an event you’ve created, drag the event to the new time or day in the main calendar view.
To change an event’s duration, drag the event’s top or bottom edge. (You can resize events only in Day or Week view.) If the event is an all-day event, in Week view, drag the left or right side of it.
To change the name of an event, double-click it. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Select the event name, type a new name, and then click Done. (You can also change the name of an event without opening the event editor by holding down the Option key while you double-click the event name.)
To edit other characteristics of an event (for example, how often it repeats or whether it has an alarm), double-click the event. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Make your changes.
To delete an event, select the event and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
If you’re changing an event to which you’ve invited other people, you need to send an updated event to the invitees by clicking Send in the event editor -
Skype always starts as first time setup
Hello Skype Community,
Quite recently my skype started behaving wierd. Everytime I boot my PC skype starts (as usual). Normally it logs in automaticly, because the auto sign in option is selected however it did not.
When I logged in it looked exactly like the time when I started skype for the first time (setting up a mic, webcam and profile picture etc.). And it seems to do it EVERY time I log in to skype (and everytime my PC boots).
I assume its something with my antivirus, because the problem occured when I changed it (I moved from avast free version to Malwarebyte premium version).
Is there a way to solve it?
Thanks in advance!
HiddeThe behaviour in the latest Skype 7.8 version has now changed. Skype does no longer remember the last connection status. When restarted manually, it will always start with Online status, regardless what status was set when Skype was closed last time. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-forgets-last-online-status-when-signing-in/m-p/4085542#M363164 I have not yet tested how Skype behaves when set to start when Windows starts, but also the Away status might be the new "feature" of the latest Skype 7.8 version.

How to change name of a logical system
Hi SDN,
I am trying to customizing intial download data transfer from ECC to CRM. But in outbound queue of ECC it is showing an error of SYSFAIL with description of logical system name changed. Given note 558701.
But I don't know old name of logical system.
1) Can you guys please help how to find the old logical system name there are many logical systems defined in my system.
2) and how to change it?Hi Ravi,
Since logical system name is changed sombody in past must have ran BDLS to conver logical system name.
Check tcode SLG1, this tcode will tell you whether there were any logical system conversion done in Past, if it is done then it will tell you from which old logical system its converted to new one. So you can find out old logical system name.
Once you find out old logical system run BDLS again. It might possible BDLS ran unsuccessfully last time. -
How to change name of uploaded file
I am using the a multi-part form and the pl/sql gateway to enable users to upload files to portal. The files automatically get stored in the wwdoc_document$ table. The key to the file is a column called "name" which consists of a sequence number and the file type e.g. 4747.gif.. I want to change this name to a different value.
When I change it using the standard sql Update statement, none of the pdk apis work on the record; they all return errors. I am able to change this value as long as I use a unique value, I just can't run any of the wwdoc apis against the row after that.
Does anyone know how to change this value for a given row???
