HT3231 I ended up having to create a new user name because the migration assistant wouldn't let me put the data back onto my original user name. I now have to log into the new user name to see all my data, apps, photographs etc. What went wrong?

I have a Mac that was part of the recall involved with the faulty Seagate hard drives. The folks at the Apple Store near me changed the hard drive early December, 2012. I had my data, etc. all backed up on a portable hard drive. When the Mac was returned with the new hard drive, I used the Migration Assistant to bring everything back over. Trouble was, it wouldn't let me bring it over to my original user name. I was forced to create a new user name that became the place where everything was restored. I can't see any data on my old user name, just the basics. Everything is on the new user name but I wish I didn't have it (just want everything back the way it was originally). Any suggestions?

Probably the cleanest thing to do is to erase and freshly install the operating system on the new drive. Then, on the first boot up, don't create a new user, instead select the option in Setup Assistant to immediately bring things over from your backup, which you must connect via USB or firewire. Setup Assistant will then recretae your old user to look just like it used to.
Before doing this, make sure you realize you will lose everything on the new drive by erasing it, and make sure your backup is still viable.

You are allowed to have two activted installations, so if the first machine is the only machine with an activated installation there is nothing prohibiting you from installing and activating on the new machine.
You can contact Adobe Support thru chat to have the old installation deactivation.

Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

When i log into all my sites needing a password then close browserand reopen browserand i have to log into the site(s) agianevenwhenIsay remember me Ie facebook

When i log into all my sites needing a password and username for example Facebook and Gmail then i close the browser with "remember me" selected it logs me out of Gmail and Facebook. Then i have to log back into the those sites again. This does not happen to me in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
Firefox seems to save the password and username but logs me out of all my sites that needs a password and username after each session. This never happen to me before an Firefox update.
The only way that i have found to work around this to keep Firefox open.
Thanks

The "remember me" checkbox instructs the site to set a persistent cookie in Firefox. Persistent means that the cookie is marked with a future expiration date so that Firefox retains it between sessions.
There are a lot of ways to break this. For example:
* Visit the site in a private window
* Change Firefox's default setting of accepting persistent cookies from all servers (first party and third party)
* Set Firefox to clear cookies at shutdown
* Install add-ons that clear cookies
* Use external cleaning/security/privacy software that clears Firefox cookies
If you're not sure about your cookie settings, check out the Privacy panel of the Options dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
If you have "Firefox will: remember history" then cookies are accepted and retained.
If you have "Firefox will: use custom settings for history" you can check your cookie settings below that line.
If you have "Firefox will: never remember history" then you are going to be using full time private browsing and cookies are discarded between sessions.
If cookie settings are okay, and you would like advice on your extensions, it would be helpful if you could post a list of them. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

HT203128 Why do i have to log into my account to play all my games now? I never had to before!

After downloading the latest version of iTunes today 4/9/15, I now have to log into my account to use any of my apps or programs on my iPad air 2. I never had to do this before and it is a real pain! What gives?

On the iPad, go to Settings > Game Center and make sure you are signed out.
You may have to go through this about three times when playing games, after which the iPad will realize you do not intend to sign in to Game Center.

Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

Has anyone used apple cpnfigurator for this purpose?

Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to the usage of too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone.

Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to making too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone. Is there any way I could fix this? I also want to transfer my money because I think it's a waste to just forget about the $13.75 on my account. Thanks.

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

in regard to Time Machine.
I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

APP-V 5.0 VDI A Temporary Profile is created when I log into the Virtual Desktop

Dear Sirs
I'm Enzo , an Italian System Engineer. Together with other fellows we created a test environment :
- a VDI machine (POC-VDI,10.102.94.219, Windows Server 2012 R2) with
RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, RD Virtualization Host, RD Session Host Installed
The Hyper-V Environment includes :
- DHCP Server (to provide addresses to Virtual Desktop Collections)
- APP-V_5.0_Server , Application Virtualization Management Console 5.0, with 2 published packages (Office 2010 and Open    Office 4)
- Sequencer_W8-1, Application Virtualization Sequencer 5.0
- Client_8-1 , Client Windows 8.1 with Application Virtualization Client 5.0
From the Client_8-1 we can download and run the two published packages from the server (user VDI_TEST_1)
The Client_8-1 has been used as the template (sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown) for the Virtual Dektop (APP-0 and APP-1)
included in the collection 'APPV' (Pooled, Automatically Manage Virtual Desktop, Roll Back Virtual Desktops Enabled).
I connect to the 'RD Web Access' ( http 10.102.94.219 RDWeb, user VDI_TEST_1) , I then connect to APPV collection .
When I get logged into the Virtual Desktop (APP-0 or APP-1, user VDI_TEST_1), a Temporary Profile is created. Why ?
We configured :
User Profile Disk : share Location 10.102.94.219 UPD
   UPD : Share      Everyone Full Control
                              Security   SYSTEM    Full Control
                                         Network Service
Full Control
                                       POC-VDI$   Full
Control
                                         Administrators (POC-VDI\Aministrators)
Full Control
                                         Users (POC-VDI\Users)
Read & Execute
I am puzzled as long as when I get logged into the Virtual Desktop, a Temporary Profile is created. Why ?
Thanks in advance for your kind attention
Enzo

Highly unlikely it has anything to do with App-V.
Start troubleshooting by looking at permissions on shares and folder under the shares for the profile.

HOw do I retrieve the first name and last name of the logged in username.
Could someone provide me a related link or PDF to work on this.
Thanks,
