Issue with Calendar Invites after changing a user's name

Hey all,
Strange issue we are having (Exchange 2007). One of the employees got married and had a name change. I changed the name in AD Users & Computers, updated the mailbox, etc. Now, when someone invites her via an Outlook Calendar Invite, she gets a "Cannot
Download Attachment" error on her iPhone. This isn't happening to anyone else and only started happening after the name change.
Was there something else I may have missed? I made sure that the person who was inviting her wasn't seeing the old address in her address book because of caching, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
The error description is related to attachment. Please confirm whether there is an attachment in the meeting request to the problematic user. Try to receive the meeting request in OWA to check whether the issue occurs. Maybe the issue is caused by large
attachments download using mobile.

After changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client

Dear all,
This is a real issue. I am a Help-desk in a global company and after changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client. Even I download Offline address book in full detail, user still can't see the change in her outlook.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Franklin hong

Hi,
Would you please detail what you did by "changing a mail list name in Server end"? What is the mail list and what server?
If you switch to Online Mode instead of Cached Exchange Mode, does the user see the change?

I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

After changing my user id my iPad still brings up my old id when logging into the App Store. How do I fix this?

After changing my user id my iPad still brings up my old id when logging into the App Store. How do I fix this?

Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (on the iPad) also?
Note that any items purchased with your old ID are permanently tied to it and cannot be transferred to the new one.

I lost control over my Airport Express

I lost control over my Airport Express. It is still working, wireless network is alright, but the Airport Utility can not find it. I reinstalled the utility on my desktop but still the same.

That's irritating. What is the exact message provided by AirPort Utility? Is it something like "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"?
What version of AirPort Utility are you using, which AirPort Express model do you have (look on its case for a number like A1084, A1264 or A1392), and what version of OS X are you using?

I can no longer send emails from my iPad after changing the passwords for my BT Yahoo account on my iMac

I changed my passwords for my BT Yahho email on my iMac following my accouts being hacked. Email works fine on my iMac, and I receive emails OK on my iPad, but cannot send them from the iPad. Am not sure what to do. I found the BT help pretty useless. Any suggestions please?

Did you go deep enough into the settings? Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

In Windows XP I have lost control over third party cookies

I bought a refurbished computer with Windows XP. But now I have noticed there is no control over cookies in Firefox. In Windows Vista there was 'block third party cookies' there was 'state which websites to permanently block' or 'allow' and even then I was only using Firefox... Now there is nothing. On top of that none of the "cookies control" add-ons for Firefox seem to be any good at all. I don't know what to do!
Why would Firefox change with Windows XP?? I can see with IE of course but Windows operating system has nothing to do with Firefox, if you know what I mean.

Please review this information [[Enabling and disabling cookies]]

Permissions messed up after changing short name

Hello all,
Following the directions provided on the support website (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824), I successfully changed the short name of my account. I created a new user, used the root user to move the old files, and deleted the old account.
However, I've run into several permissions problems. On many files, the permissions are set to "_unknown" and do not have my name listed.
Is there any way to mass change the permissions of these files?
Thank you very much for any assistance!

That ND Sounds folder is strange. I'm thinking about just deleting it or creating a new folder.
No need. the command we tried before didn't work on it because it wasn't owned by you. Now it is so we should be able to change permissions easily. Also, I would recommend setting rwx permissions for you and no access for anybody else on everything in your Music folder.
To do that run
*chmod -R 700 ~/Music*
You can do it for other folders like your Documents and you Desktop folders.
I checked some of the files in the folders (for example, the iTunes music folder in the iTunes folder) and it looks like I'm the owner!
yes, the command I gave you took care of that.
Anything I can do about the applications folder?
what's wrong with it?

Permission denied after changing short name

i have tried searching for answers but still no luck. im kinda scared mdealing with the terminal but have tried a few but to no avail. i hope somebody helps me with step by step solution as im not really well versed with mac yet. thank you.

That's one thing you should never do without asking first.
The short name is what your data permissions are linked to - change it without the proper procedure and you get the situation you find yourself in now.
As you're on Tiger, it's not a simple fix either.
Try this article from the X-Lab for recovery.
Then, if you really must change the name follow;
The right way (scroll down to 'OS X 10.4.11 and earlier')
Note that this requires enabling and logging in as Root. If you choose to do this, be very careful to do only what the instructions say. You can wreak untold damage to your system if you get curious and start poking around.

BADI after changing the User name

Dear All,
We have the scenario of Contact person and Interner User as in B2B.
I have a scenario wherein if the user changes the username /UserAlias the contact person would get an email notification.
Please help.
Thanks
MP

Hi,
You can do you requirement specific coding in the BADI definition CRM_BP_UIU_SAVE.
In this REGISTER_4_SAVE method needs to be implemented for setting the handler method as ON_SAVE_EVENT. Then in ON_SAVE_EVENT you can do the business logic.
Hope it helps.

Lion upgrade changed my User Directory (Name Name 1) Help!

Can any one offer a fix.
I tried to install Te Lion Upgrade and it stalled at the last step.
After waiting 4 hours I did a restart and Lion asked me if I want to restore from an archive.
I said yes, but my user group was renamed from Jimmy to Jimmy 1
Most things work and it seems everything is there, bit some apps are not working because they are looking for the Jimmy folder (path).
Is there anyway I can change this back to the way it was (Jimmy)?
Can I rename the folder in terminal or make a new folder - and what will happen with my username (which wasn't changed) and everything in the keychain? No to mention permissions.
Can anyone point me into the right direction or have step on how to solve this?
Much appreciated.

I have a similar problem - I need to change my account (short) name so that I can backup both my old computer and new computer on timecapsue independently. However, the link you provided is only for 10.6 and earlier, not for Lion. Are the instructions for Lion similar? For one, I have no directory utility on Lion.
Thanks for your help.

How do I change the User/library name on snow leopard?

My dad gave me his macbook and it's got his name on the user on the side panel and I want my name there instead. I know how to change the login name etc. but I can't figure out how to get past step 9 of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 (enabling root user) I can't choose enable root user from the edit menu as it doesn't show.
I'm new to macbooks so it would be great if someone could explain it so that I'd understand
Thank you.

I've solved it not too worry.

How can I change TestStand users registered name / Company?

Help!
I have just installed TestStand 3.5 in my own name. The PC is going to be delivered to a customer in a different country and I would like to change the registered name (which appears on the TestStand start splash screen).
Is there any way of doing this without having to reinstall TestStand?
Thanks
Alan Knowler

This information is set in the registry at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\TestStand\3.5\User Info".
If you registered the software at the time of installation, you will need to contact National Instruments to have the database information changed on our end.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
