Account problems  with name change?

I got a new MacBook Pro and wanted give the old Macbook to my wife with access to all files, settings, etc. To do this, I just changed the Account name from mine to hers. When I restarted the old MacBook, none of the files or settings were there and it was like starting a brand new account. The documents folder is totally missing. I tried changing back to the previous account name, but it didn't change anything. I have all the files, etc on the new Pro, but Migration Assistant says there isn't sufficient hard drive capacity on the MacBook to accept them.
Thanks.

  • Dealing with name changes - Automatically

    Hi,
    I'm am in the process of writing a powershell script to automate our AD User account creation, modification, disabling and deletion. I am trying to figure out how to best deal with name changes with regards to exchange 2010.
    I am already able to automatically detect a name change and, rename the object in AD, the first, last and display name as well as the username and upn... so for exchange is it best to handle this through an email address policy to modify their primary smtp,
    or is there a way to do it through powershell without disabling the email address policy???
    My other question is that if the email address policy where to update the primary SMTP automatically how often with this policy execute? in other word, how long do i have to wait for the primary smtp to change after the account is renamed. Also, if i want
    to keep their old email as an alias is that doable through an email address policy or must it be done with powershell.
    Thanks

    If you want to require e-mail address policy on a recipient, the only way you can change the primary SMTP address is to change the inputs to that policy.  For example, if the policy is
    %g.%[email protected], you'll have to change the first and last names for the address to change.  If you're scripting account creation, you should consider setting -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $False and manually managing
    the e-mail addresses through your automated process.
    Be sure not to remove the old addresses or else users will lose mail addressed to their prior addresses.

  • What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

    What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

    Browser Dog, Amy,
    The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
    Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

  • Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

    Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
    Thanks.

    Hi ienjoyanime,
    Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
    Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
    is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

  • Still problems with ID changing in Teaming 2.1?

    Hi,
    They are still problems with changing the ID from user in the eDIR when they are
    will synchronized with the Teaming system?
    In the past it was a very bad thing if the user name (ID) was a shortened form the
    name of the user e.g. ssmith for Sarah Smith.
    When "our" Sarah has married and her new name was e.g. Sarah Stone, new user ID is
    sstone, the Teaming system can't "realize" that ssmith and sstone are the same user.
    Is this problem fixed in the version 2.1?

    Hi,
    A opened a request by Novell and get the answer that all is still the same since version 1.x.
    Maybe this behavior will change in the version 4.x.
    It's really sad that Teaming can't handle changed IDs.... really sad....
    Than we have two ways... first, we change all our IDs to IDs with digits like 1234 or the second way... we use
    SharePoint.... really sad.....
    I'm wonder me that we are the only firm with such problem....

  • Problems with Plan Change - Needs Immediate Result

    Hello,
    I have been a long time Verizon Wireless customer.  I have two lines, one of which was assigned to a tablet with a 1gb plan.  I maintained this line for the upgrade since my other line has unlimited data.  I recently upgraded to the Note 3, and in the process was told that I'd have to establish a new line to accomplish the upgrade.  The representative, from Costco, let me know that it shouldn't be a problem transferring the same plan to the newly established line and not to worry about anything going wrong.  That night I called Verizon for the first time and worked with a customer service representative who ended up making the problem worse by canceling the tablet line before transferringthe device to the new line.  This caused a problem with my sim card, and I have to request a new one because my old was was constantly showing an "aging" status.  Even a few days later.  The first night consisted of two phone calls to Verizon because the rep mentioned above ended up disconnecting me trying to get over to tech support.  The second rep was much more helpful, but wasn't able to do anything and let me know I'd have to work with tech support, but should wait until the next day to allow the sim to "age."
    The next day was the 4th of July, so I called back the next day and went through a similar process, spent about 30 minutes with one rep, only to be told my sim was still "ageing" and to talk to tech support.  Every time I was connected with tech support it was a minimum 30 minute wait, just to be told that there was nothing they could do, again, and they sent me a new sim card.  When i received that sim, at which point it was the following week, I called back and activated my tablet successfully.  Hung the phone up and thought all was well, until I saw my balance due the next day.  It was nearly double what I usually pay.  The representative never informed me that it would default to a prorated amount based on that payment, of 4gb.  None of which I need.  I called back, again, and was told that I wasn't able to use the old plan I had since it didn't exist anymore.  This time the representative was very pleasant, and let me know she'd put a request in to see if the old plan would be possible, given my situation.  I was alright with that, and this was the first time I wasn't frustrated after hanging up the phone.
    She called me back yesterday letting me know that Verizon isn't willing to allow me to use my old plan, and that there is a new plan options, that is 10 dollars a month.  Honestly that was all right, so I called in today to change it to that plan and have it backdated to the date of upgrade to fix my billing issue.  During the process of looking up my information, the representative I spoke with today disconnected me.  Over the last week and a half I have spent nearly 3-4 hours on the phone with Verizon just trying to fix this issue that was not anything I could have controlled.
    The rep at Costco told me I'd have no issues transferring my lien to the new line we opened that day, and the first individual I spoke with on the phone canceled the line too early and further delayed the process by requiring me to request a new SIM card for the tablet.  After being disconnected this time, I'm extremely frustrated with the entire situation and Verizon in general.  I've been a customer of Verizon for nearly ten years, and for the fist time I am considering moving to another carrier seeing.  In that ten year period, I have probably called into customer service less than 5 times.  And in the last week and a half I have made more calls, and spent far more time on the phone than every before.
    The bottom line is, I need to have the plan changed on my tablet line to something comparable to what I had previously, which was a 20 dollar, 1gb plan with the 10 dollar tablet fee.  I need this taken care of ASAP and I need to know it's being done correctly.  If Verizon is going to partner with companies like Costco to provide phones to members, and increase their customer base, than these reps need to be better equipped to handle the upgrade process.  And it seems that the call centers I have spoken with are a 50/50 shot in terms of reaching someone who is able to do their job effectively and in a timely fashion.
    I hope to be contacted with a resolution by today or I will be returning the phone, and looking elsewhere for my wireless needs.
    Thank you.
    Josh

    There is an "undocumented" parameter you need to include in your
    page. It MUST be a hidden field value called "p_action". The
    form hidden value is either "OK" or "CANCEL" (case sensitive).
    Thus, when the form is submitted, this parameter states to
    commit the changes. Useful if you have a "Save" button and
    a "Cancel" button.

  • JTree - problems with names of elements

    I have a Jtree thats populated with expandable elements. These elements are loaded on startup, but some of the elements don't get their full names, just i.e "dem..." instead of "demo3". WHen I expand the node, the full name appears, and remains.
    Anyone know what this could be?
    The problem is really often associated with nodes with names containing "m" ..

    By default the tree node renderer is JLabel.
    It look like you are not using pack() or validate().
    It depend also the layout manager you are using.
    In one word, it seems the JLabel has dimension too short.
    Can only show 3 to 4 char. that is why "demo3" show as "dem..."
    Try have some node name like "WWWWW", if you see "WW..." or "WWW..."
    Then that is the problem. ( Not as you thought: only "m" has problem )

  • Problem with Tempo change using factory - Please Help!

    Hi, All
    Im experiencing a problem when I change the tempo of an audio file and want to revert back to its original state. I understand that you can not just undo the process so I try and delete the file from my bin and import the file again. The problem that I am experiencing is that even though the original file is at the original tempo, once imported to my bin the temp changes automaticaly to the one I deleted. Is there something I am doing wrong? any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Patryk

    you can stretch any audio file already recorded in Logic but there is simple rulethat you must follow:
    the Sample must be recorded in Logic at original BPM tempo
    you can use Bus routing or bounce...
    all resulting files will be vere same as apple loop...
    if your file is not recorded in logic just find the correct BPM and after tha, Bounce it!

  • Sudden account problem with messages account

    After a internet connection problem this morning (maybe not related) Messages asked for my account password. I typed it and it was rejected.

    I deleted the accoount in Messages and remade it. still password is rejected. I deleted it again and tried maing it from the System Preferences Internet account. This time it seems to make the account but then give an Unknow Error message!
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    In the Message Received sound drop down have you tried changing the Sound ?
    Can you hear it in Messages ?
    It should show the default sound (the one from the app), the System Sounds and, if you have any, the User's Sound folder (~Library/Sounds).
    To look in ~/Library /Sound open any Finder window and then use the Go menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library from the Menu and navigate to the Sounds folder.
    The app plays these sounds when you test and Select them.
    However during normal use they are played by System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects like a System Alert.
    The Volume selected here has a bearing.
    There have been issues reported with the Message Received sound playing during normal use when the app is no longer the app in focus. (not the "front" app)
    Changing the Sound seems to help and more so if it is in ~/Library/Sounds.
    Can you also use the Open Script Folder and deliberately run the AppleScript from there and have someone text you ?
    Most of the above will check the Sound plays and the general Ability for the app to action Messages Received.
    However the last paragraph should check out that the Script is working (That Apple Script itself works).

  • Problem with "Uncommited changes" when viewing certain rows in detail group

    Hi Guys,
    When I try to view an row in a detail group I get a popup box saying that there's uncommitted changes. This will happen even when there's no changes in the master group. It will also happen for all rows in the detail group except for the first row listed.
    e.g.:
    Master Group is department
    Detail group is employees
    The detail group will display:
    Employee 1
    Employee 2
    Employee 3...
    If I select to view the details for employee 1 it will go to the form view without any problems, if I select any other row (2,3,4..) I get a popup box warning that there's uncommitted changes on the current page.
    If I go into the form view of employee 3 (confirming that there's uncommitted changes on the current page as I do) and then use the breadcrumbs to go back to the department screen then Employee 3 is the only detail group row I can go into without getting the uncommitted changes popup.
    How is it possible that different rows in a detail group can cause this popup to happen?
    I am using JDev 10.1.3.2
    and the pages where generated by JHS 10.1.2.26
    Is it possible that when the radio button that is used to select a detail group is changed that this is showing up as an uncommitted change in the javascript?
    I need a fix for this urgently so a fast response would be greatly appreciated
    Bar

    Im using a custom method to stack the detail groups and Im missing the line that adds the radio button to the ignore list:
    #if (${JHS.service.generateJavaScript})
    <afh:script text="addToIgnoreChangedFields(['${group.name}:${group.name}Table:selected']);" id="${group.shortName}IgnoreChangedFields"/>
    #end
    is there a certain place to add this in the template?

  • Bridge CS4 edit history problem with OS change from XP to 7

  • Problem with font changes making video unrenderable

    Hi- I hope someone can give me some advice. I have been creating different language versions of a video and until now I merely duplicated the original sequence and then changed the individual titles to create a new language version ( there is no narration - only text). Now for some reason, whenever I try to change the text, it make the corresponding video unrendered. The title appears but the video disappears- and cannot be rendered.
    I have completed about six different versions without problems, but now I can't make further changes on the video.
    Grateful to anyone who can give me some advice.
    Best regards,
    L O Foster

    cannot be rendered...that's odd. But becoming unrendered is standard. When you render the text on top of the video it makes one renderd file out of the two layers, If you change one of the layers, then the rendered file is no longer current and it has to make a newly rendered file with the current settings (in this case the altered text.) It's no different than if you were to change a setting on a filter, even one tiny notch, or change the duration of a transition. If you want to limit the amount of the render, cut the bottom clip at the beginning of the text clip and the end and it will only need to re-render the area overlapped by the text.

  • Problem with merging changes made in Business Catalyst

    I put some text frames in my Muse project and now my client try to make some changes in text using Business Catalyst but we have big problem because it is impossible to merge changes back to the Muse project. The site is in Polish language but I also tried to do it with English. The result is different but also wrong.
    As you can see bellow (screen1)I tried to change words "Adobe Muse" to "adobe muse" and "apps" to "application". Look at Preview on Page result. The newe phrase "adobe muse" is inside the word "videos" instead of following it. So we have: " ....and videoadobe museuse is....". But fortunatelly after clicking "Merge into Muse" everything is OK (screen2).
    But when I use Polish language both results are wrong: Preview on Page and the result after merging (see screen 3 and 4)
    So I can't work together with my client and it's a big problem because I choose Muse and Business Catalyst for this project just to have this possibility.
    Some ides about reasons? I hope these problems are easily solvable.

    Hi TheArtDictator,
    The issue you're running into is similar to http://forums.adobe.com/message/6012076#6012076.
    There isn't a fix yet. What we know is that HTML character entities (like &reg; or &ndash;) can somehow appear in content edited using In-Browser Editing. The Muse sync process doesn't expect/handle them correctly. What we don't know is what causes these entities to be inserted. To help us figure that out, could you find out:
    - Which OS and browser (including versions) were used by the client?
    - Did the client copy/paste content from external sources?
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

  • Workflow problem, activity name changed

    Hi,
    We're having problems running workflows. Our versions are:
    OWB Client: 9.2.0.2.8
    OWB Design repository: 9.2.0.2.0
    OWB Runtime: 9.2.0.2.8 on Solaris
    The problem is that mappings finish successful but workflow won't continue and hangs in busy state. I think we're hitting bugs 3154296 and 3178557, so we will patch asap to 9.2.0.4
    What i see in the workflow diagrams is that some of the activity's have a @ (at sign) in front of the activity name. For example process 'cc_imp_ma_services' is displayed in the parent workflow diagram as '@cc_imp_ma_services'. In earlier runs (before hitting above mentioned bugs) this process is displayed as 'cc_imp_ma_services' without the @.
    My question is why this @ signs appears and what is means if it has a meaning. Has anybody seen this before?

    Please check the settings in SWU3. Most probably  the settings is not correct. You will get a lot of discussion from this forum if you search with SWU3.

  • Problems with values changed from timeout to event

    Hi all
    i've this question.
    I'm talking with an instrument (oscilloscope) asking it some values and i can see them into my labview panel (refreshing them every timeout loop).
    I can set different values into labview panel and the scope changes its settings so in the next loop my panel reads the new value from the scope.
    I obtain this with some events and all is working perfectly.
    My problem is this: when i click on an element (click generates an event) labview must finish timeout loop and only then executes the event, so the new value set by the user will be ignored.
    What can i do to execute the event "instantly" with new user values?
    tnx to all
    http://www.sd-studio.it - web design agency

    As per your description, the user input should be delayed, not ignored, because LV will execute the event at last.
    Anyway, to shorten the delay, you may simply set a 0 ms (or a very short, e.g. 10 ms) timeout for the event structure and manage a timeout "by hand". For example, you store in a shift register the last time you executed the refreshing code; when the timeout event executes, you subtract the last time value from the current time; if the difference is more than a given threshold, you actually execute the refreshing code.
