Am i allowed to do this?

Hi,
My mate has a mac which is playing up, i am going around to his house to see if i can fix it as i know alot about computers. However if i use my recovery disk on his Mac am i allowed? And if i did would i be able to use the disk if my mac malfunctioned as some stage?
Best Regards,
Reece

Tell your friend and for anyone else who reads this, it isn't a good idea to purchase a used Mac from anyplace without the original OS X install package that shipped with the Mac when new and if an earlier OS X version shipped with the Mac when new which has been upgraded to a new version such as from Panther to Tiger, the Tiger retail package used to upgrade the Mac should also be included with the sales price.
For a number of reasons. Not being able to run Disk First Aid repair for an important one and not being able to re-install any software or the entire OS via an Archive & Install or an Erase & Install if needed or desired.
OK - I'll get off my soap box.
Does your friend have a Mac with a PPC processor or an Intel processor? If a PPC processor, your Tiger install package (for an Intel processor) definitely won't work but regardless, the install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model and build specific and cannot be used on another Mac which is why the install package that ships with a new Mac purchase should be kept in an easily assessable and secure location and remain with the Mac even when sold or given away.
Even if your friend has the identical Mac model and build, doing so would be a violation of the license agreement.

Sony, please tell me how you allow something like this to happen? Horrific Support Experience

So, the below happened. Essentialy, Sony sent me four broken TVs, forced me to spend about 20 hours of time replacing those TVs, and has refused to replace my broken television. The below is a chain with one of your reps. I would never have expected such a poor customer service experience from a company of Sony's caliber. It has been very disappointing. You insist that you are giving me an "offer" but you have given me no options whatsoever.
I note that you continue to maintain that there is no viable replacement. However, a simple search on your webpage and online shows that there are multiple 48 inch LED televisions still available. I find your representation to be disengenuous. The below chain is only one point in the long line of frustrating communications with your representatives. All told me different things and made promises that were not kept. I can only imagine how my case file looks.
I would like an explanation from Sony how you could allow something like this to happen? This has been the most frustrating experience I have ever had with a electronics company -- and I have had alot. It has been terrible.

To be clear, I am not "accepting" your offer as I don't think it is fair or makes me whole. I am telling you to do whatever you have to do. You have given me no real other options.

Thank you for contacting Sony and for accepting the offer. We apologize that we cannot offer you the regular retail price of the unit since that is not the amount that you paid it for. We will email you a prepaid shipping label which you can use to ship us back your TV and once we determined that it is in transit back to us we will process the check with the amount of $369.99 and you will receive the check in 4-6 weeks.

How you get away with treating your customers like this is beyond me. I am telling you that I purchased the television at a discounted rate that I am no longer able to obtain. In other words, the amount you are refunding me will not make me whole. I am also telling you that your colleague literally offered me a refurbished TV about two hours ago (apparently your group offers less to customers now). You have already sent me three TVs and wasted about 20 hours of my time. Despite all that, you unapologetically state that your "FINAL" offer gets me to nowhere that I need to be. You have no remorse for the situation and have not gone any extra distance to make a customer whole, which is all that I am asking for.
You have beaten me into submission over the past month with broken TVs, hours wasted shipping, long conversations with support representatives, and failed promises. You guys go ahead and do whatever it is you need to do. There is only so much that I can argue about. No customer should expect this type of treatment from a company like Sony. People purchase Sony so that they DONT have to deal with that type of nonsense. This has honestly been the worst customer service interaction I have ever had.

Your file is being already being handled by our department which is the highest level you can get since our managers and supervisors are not part of the escalation path. The $319.99 is the amount that you paid for the TV and that is what we are going to refund you and the $50 is for compensation. You are getting more than what you paid for the TV so Sony believes it will cut it. Our offer is FINAL. Thank you.

Mark,
I just spoke to an individual on the phone who told me that you could send a refurbished model . That conversation is exactly what prompted my email to this email address -- they told me to reach out here because you could provide me a better option rather than the two that were given. Now you are telling me that not only can you not offer me a better option but that you are taking away an option previously given. This is getting more and more ridiculous. I am sorry but this just isnt working for me. I dont understand how there is this much miscommunication between your departments.
I would like to be put in touch with a manager on this case. Your offer to refund me 320 + 50 will not cut it. I am amazed that a company like Sony, which people purchase because of the supposed product support and service, is failing their customer in this way. It's very disappointing.

Thanks, Mark. My preference would then be to try a refurbished model one more time. The issue is that I got the TV at Black Friday discount. I wouldnt be able to replace it even if I wanted to. So, I will try one more time and go from there. Please let me know once the TV is shipped.

Thank you for contacting Sony. We apologize if you don’t want that option but this is the best Sony can offer since there is no same or comparable model to offer you anymore. If the unit will be replaced it will be the 4th time already and to tell you honestly it will be much cheaper for you to just buyback the unit rather than to pay the shipper deliver the TV every time we replace it and we are not saying that it is your fault just to make it clear. We will buyback the unit for $319.99 and we will add up another $50 as compensation for all the troubles. Please let us know once you have made your decision. Thank you.

I don't want that option. I would take a refurbished model again over the refund.
You are saying that I spend 20 hours of my life dealing with you, driving to and from fed ex three times, mounting and taking down three broken televisions, and you do nothing to compensate me for my time? I would never expect this from a company like Sony.

Over the past month, you have sent me four defective TVs. I cannot tell you how frustrating this process has been for me. I never would have thought that a company like Sony could be this bad. It has been like pulling teeth with you all.
I purchased my television thinking that it would come along with the best product and support in the market. That has not been the case. My TV broke down within a year and now you have sent literally four televisions to replace it but none of them have worked.
The latest contact I got was that you have run out of new television for my model and instead need to send me another refurbished one or refund me. I do not want either option.
I want a brand new TV. I dont care if it's the same one or a better one but it has to be new. It cannot be refurbished. I do not want a refund.
At this point, I have spent about 20 hours of my life on the phone with you or shipping back and forth items. I would also like compensation to account for that time.
Please email me or call me with a response.

Hi adam26,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
We certainly empathize with your frustration and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please check your other thread here, we saw someone from our customer relation department already responded to your inquiry. Again, we sincerely hope to seek your kind understanding on this matter.

Share Feature - Document Library - Contribute Users getting: Only a limited amount of people are allowed to share this content

Hi
I am getting the following error when users with contribute permissions try to share an individual document from a document library.
If I upgrade the user to full control they are then able to Share the file ok and not get the above error.
So what I am wondering is should users with contribute access be able to Share the document? If not then why is the Share option available?
Which permission level if I edit the contribute permission levels do I need to add, I cannot see any Share specific permissions for lists and reluctant to give contribute users access to modify permissions?
I'll continue troubleshooting to see if I find the solution but wondered if anyone in the community had come accross this? Googling the error message
Only a limited amount of people are allowed to share this content brings up nothing.

Today I fixed this issue by enabling Site Access Requests on the SharePoint sites with this problem. (http://blog.cloudshare.com/2012/12/09/how-to-configure-the-site-access-request-in-sharepoint-2013/)
Personally I think this is created by design, because it happens a lot that content is shared with users which do not have access to a SharePoint site and/or library. So I guess we do not have another option..
Programmatically the above could be done by setting the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEmail" property with a valid e-mail address. For example the site owner's e-mail address. Setting the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEnabled" property is not allowed and
is automatically done by settings the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEmail" property

Com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 You are not allowed to issue this

hi All,
We are getting below error while connecting to an FTP location through File Adapter:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server XYZ. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 You are not allowed to issue this command'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Also when we tried to connect to this FTP location through PI server we able to connect, but when we connect to it through channel we are getting above error.
Please Help!
Thanks,

hi All,
The usedid we are using to connect to FTP location has appropriate access to write(we have an receiver file adapter) the files, when we connected to FTP location from PI server using same useid(as used in channel) we are able to connect to FTP location and also able to write the file there.
Now error soming is:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server XYZ. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Operation is not supported under Connect:Enterprise FTP server.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

Disable "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" for Mointpoints

Hey Guys,
I wandt to optimize all our SQL Servers and so I want to disable the "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" option in the Volume Properties.
The SQL Server is installed under D:\SQLSERVER which is a normal folder.
For the root and sub directories d:\ the following solution works:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bf99c428-7fbc-4cd5-9a4a-0c6b69e906ab/disable-allow-files-on-this-drive-to-have-contents-indexed-in-addition-to-file-properties?forum=ITCG&prof=required
But we have Mountpoints for the Data and Log Files under D:\SQLUSRDATA and D:\SQLUSRLOG. When I use the NotContentIndexed Attribute on this direcotry there is no error message. But when I go to Properties of the Mountpoint folder under General >
Properties The "Allow files..." option is still activated.
Is there a solution to deactivate Indexing on Mointpoints via Powershell?

Your question has nothing to do with scripting.
I recommend that all SQLServer systems have a GP applied that sets the minimum requirements for the server. This would include disabling the indexing service which serves no purpose on a SQLServer based system. You should also disable all AV
scanning of SQLServer folders as this can create performance issues and may make SQLServer unstable. Many AV products will skip database files on purpose.
The indexer will not index SQLServer files unless you have altered its behavior so, mostly, what you are doing is unnecessary.
Post you issues in the SQLServer forum to get the latest requirements and settings for you implementation.
Again thisis not a scripting issue and it should not bemanaged via a script. It is a deployment issue and should bemanaged in that way. YOu can use PowerShell V4 and later DSC SDK to set a standard "Desired State" for you SQLServers.
Use of DSC with SQLServer should also be worked out with the SQLServer forum MVPs and others there.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you bought a notebook with Windows 8, there are no product key stickers anymore.
The key is now digitally encoded in the BIOS.

I don't have a notebook that came with windows 8, so I don't know if you can see it in the BIOS or not but that would the place to look.

Allowed domains and not allowed to use this list messages

imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-3.01 (built Jul 12 2007; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-3.01 (built 20:10:10, Jul 12 2007; 32bit)

We have a group account that we use for support. We have used the Delegated Administrator to limit which domains can send to the list by setting "Allowed Domains:" to the form "*.our.domain" on that list.
We are now getting thousands of the spam to "postmaster" saying that saying the message could not be delivered because "Reason: you are not allowed to use this list:". We have successfully kept a lot of spam from going to that group mailing list, but we as postmasters would like to not receive all those messages telling spammers that they can't send to the list. Is there a way to turn off those "not allowed to use this list" messages to postmaster for the group list?

Is there a way to turn off those "not allowed to use this list" messages to postmaster for the group list?There appears to be two issues here:
1. The postmaster address is getting a copy of the bounce emails.
2. The mailing list is not rejecting the email at the SMTP level, rather it is creating a DSN bounce email.
Whether the postmaster gets a copy of bounce emails is controlled by the various warnpost, sendpost etc. imta.cnf channel configuration parameters. More information on turning these off here:
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Turn_Off_Postmaster_Notifications
For the second issue, if a mailing list has the "maildeferprocessing" attribute set to "yes" then the email will be accepted (without checking the allowed/disallowed recipients) and processed 'offline'. If the email is rejected during this processing then a bounce email is created.
As of Messaging Server 6.3 you can set mailDeferProcessing to "After_Auth" to cause group validation to be done immediately but group expansion to be deferred.
Setting mailDeferProcess to "no" causes the group expansion and validation to be performed before the email is accepted. The downside to this is that for a large mailing list that take a long time to expand, the email client could time out and the email not accepted.

Shane.

Sorry, your Story Free subscription does not allow access to this application. Please upgrade your s

I started using Story a few months ago. While writing a script (very proud of it's potential) I was past page 20 I believe, to my own demise I only backed it up around page 9 using a word document. My Hard Drive died and had to be replaced. While trying to save all my files before I took it to the apple store I went to grab my adobe story file and couldnt. So, I tried to log in and got this "Sorry, your Story Free subscription does not allow access to this application. Please upgrade your subscription." I went to the online-version and my story was not there. Thus, I am very angry that I lost my script because out of the blue my subscription no longer allowed me to use Adobe Story on my Macbook Pro.
Nevertheless, I have been unsuccessfully trying to re-open Adobe Story on my newly restored HD and I still get the same message.
If you could help me with what needs to be done, that would be swell.
Thanks.

Yup I was working on my script on Adobe Story, without problems, I was
unable to retrieve the file to save it. My Hard Drive has since been
erased and now I am working on a new HD.
I did re-install CS6. All my other Adobe programs work. The online
version of Story seems to work but every time I sign in using my Adobe ID
it gives me that message. :/ The thing is I never had a subscription so im
quite confused why it's telling me my subscription no longer allows me to
use Story without upgrading and spending oodles of money.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Are you allowed to do this?

Ok let's say in my case my computer is going through the Kernal Virus. Would I be allowed to connect my ipod to another computer with ipod software installed?
If so I heard this was against the law and if so I don't see how it would.
If not would it work even if hte ipod software on the computer wasn't installed for my computer?

The legality of what you are trying to do depends entirely on what content you put on your iPod.
If you are talking about hooking your iPod up to another one of your own computers, with your own iTunes libary on it... no problem.
If you plan on hooking your iPod up to a friend's computer and putting their music on your iPod... well, that's a big no-no.
So, the question for you is... what "other computer" are you referring to, and what do you plan on using the "other computer" for?
