Am I able to change the registration name on my iMac without resetting the OS?

Am I able to change the name my MacBook is registered under without resetting the OS?

Yes, but some applications may need reinstalling, and reregistering under a different name.
Here's how to change the shortname.

  • Can I change the table name in a mapping without redoing  the connections?

    Hi All,
    I have a mapping that connects table A to table B_old. Is there a way change table "B_old" to "B_new" without altering any of the connections? (in other words, I just want to swap out the table)
    Thanks
    irene

    You can rename the table within the mapping and then synchronize it with the new table, using the option "match by names". The fields must have the same names as the new table fields. New fields will be created in the table.

  • How do I format the hard drive on my Imac without losing the applications etc?

    I am fairly new to mac computers. and was wondering if there is anyone out there who could help. I have an Imac running Snow Leopard which is becoming very slow in starting up. I want to format the hard drive but still want to retain the applications etc already on the Imac. Can I just time machine the computer then insert thte OS disk which will format the hard drive? Will this give me a better start up time?
    Many thanks in advance.

    If you format the hard drive, you'll lose all your data. You can make a Time Machine backup, format the disk and restore from the backup only what you need

  • Remove the HD versions of TV Shows without resetting the entire Library?

    I'm trying to figure out how I can remove the HD versions of TV shows from my laptop without having to have iTunes completely rebuild what it thinks is in my library. Any ideas?
    This is purely because I am running low on disk space. I have the HD versions on a desktop that has a lot more space and don't really need them on the MBP.

    Clicking on it and hitting the delete key, deletes both the HD and SD versions. I want to keep the non-HD version.

  • I used to be able to change track & artist names & other song info in "View" / "Info"; can no longer do

    I used to be able to change track & artist names & other song info in "View" / "Info" (or Command I) but can no longer do. The info shows up "greyed". It seems to be on tracks from CDs I imported or downloaded from sources several years ago (pre Gracenotes).
    Any suggestions on how to fix?
    Thanks!

    I'm having a similar issue. I just downloaded new songs and I can't edit the information or artwork because they are all greyed out. I didn't have that problem until I upgraded to iTunes 11!

  • The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

    I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing. 
    Issue:
    The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination. 
    The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable. 
    The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in. 
    The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
    What we have done to troubleshoot:
    1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
    2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always". 
    3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
    4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
    5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
    6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
    7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
    Summary:
    The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

    Hi Whalensdad,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
    There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
    May be it changes to others at run time.
    The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
    have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
    Thanks,

    Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
    the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

  • What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

    I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
    s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
    I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
    Can I have complete control over the context help fo
    r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
    I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

    Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

  • I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on all my tunes and each one I select ends up with a "?"

    I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on each tune I select and a "?" appears beside the song.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed.

    "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed." 
    This is the error message I get whenever I try to connect to my servers domain which I just set up earlier today. I have read through a bunch of other threads on the same error message
    but each of them has had different solutions and none of them have helped me. 
    The one thing that I suspect is related to my problem is that I can't ping my domain on the W7 computer I'm trying to connect. I can ping the server, but not the domain. the domain
    i'm using is set up like "domain.local" . 
    Other things that might be relevant. 
    I'v already set up user accounts and a computer under the Server 2012 active domain administrator settings. 
    I'v port forwarded ports 80 and 443 on the server. 
    The server has a static IPv4 IP adress. I haven't done anything with IPv6 
    The W7 computer has a dynamic IP adress, but I don't think it changes. I believe my router is set up to keep it constant, not 100% sure though. 
    Thanks for any help with this, I'm pretty much out of ideas on this. 

    Hi ZachPrinz,
    Firstly, would you please let us know the outputs of ipconfig /all both of the clients and the DC.
    Also, if you run nslookup FQDN of your DC from your clients, what will you receive?
    Meanwhile, regarding the issue, we can refer to
    the similar thread and see how it works.

    Steven DeSalvo

    Hi StevenDE2012,
    Based on the error message "The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError)", it seems that the Unattended Execution Account settings in Reporting Services
    Configuration is not correct.
    Reporting Services provides a special account that is used for unattended report processing and for sending connection requests across the network. Unattended report processing refers to any report execution process that is triggered by an event rather than
    a user request. The report server uses the unattended report processing account to log on to the computer that hosts the external data source. This account is necessary because the credentials of the Report Server service account are never used to connect
    to other computers. To configure the account, please refer to the following steps:
    Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance you want to configure.
    On the Execution Account page, select Specify an execution account.
    Type the account and password, retype the password, and then click Apply.
    In addition, please verify you have access to the Report Server database by following steps:
    Go to SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager, make sure the configuration is correct.
    Go to Database, Verify that you can connect to the database.
    Make sure you are granted public and RSExecRole roles.
    Reference:
    Configure the Unattended Execution Account
    Configure a Report Server Database Connection
    If the problem is unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
    Thanks,

    Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

    How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

    Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
    If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

    QA: Yes - try again with legacy-collection true and false.
    Doc: No
    Checkintests: Pass
    Details: Another try in fixing this bug. When legacy-collection is false, Actionscript Array on the client becomes Java Array on the server and my fix yesterday assumed this case. However, when legacy-collection is true, Actionscript Array becomes Java ArrayList on the server. So added code to handle this case.

    Hi all!
    Just to post the solution to this if anyone ever runs accross this thread...
    For some reason i had it bad the first time, don't have time right now to see why but here is what worked for me:
    HashMap primaryFile = new HashMap();
    primaryFile.put("fileContent", bFile);
    primaryFile.put("fileName", uploadedFile.getFilename());
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("primaryFile", primaryFile);
    HashMap customDocMetadata = new HashMap();
    HashMap [] properties = new HashMap[1];
    HashMap customMetadataPropertyRoom = new HashMap();
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("name", "xRoom");
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("value", "SOME ROOM");
    properties[0] = customMetadataPropertyRoom;
    customDocMetadata.put("property", properties);
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("CustomDocMetaData", customDocMetadata);
    Basically an unbounded wsdl type is an array of objects (HashMaps), makes sense, i thought i had it like this before, must have messed up somewhere...
    Good luck all!
