Can I undo "Erase mac" setting for Stolen, but returned devices??

Can I undo "Erase mac" setting for Stolen, but returned devices?? Laptop bag with MacBook Pro, iPad and Android Tablet were stolen at a tradeshow last week - so I found the ERASE setting thru iCloud - NOW the devices are all FOUND and being shipped back to me. (HORRAY!!) But, is there a way to UNDO the Erase setting that I clicked on?

Hello there, sunny_and72.
Great news on finding your lost devices! That has got to be a major relief. The following Knowledge Base article offers the possible ways of restoring your data onto your devices after an erase has been performed:
iCloud: Erase your device
If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or the Safety, Handling & Support section of the iOS 8 user guide for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If your device has iOS 7 or earlier, get the user guide from the Apple Support website.
If you erase then find your Mac, you can restore the information on the Mac using a Time Machine backup. For more information, see the Apple Support article Recover your entire system. If you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then erase it and later find it, you may need to take your Mac to an authorized repair center to unlock it before you can use it again.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive? It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system. That was my last computer!!
Thanks,

That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

HT4972 where can I find the update setting for my ipad 4 version?

Where can I find the update setting for my ipad 4 version?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

Can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time?

can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time? i mean with their own screen, mouse, and keyboard

If you're asking whether more than one user can use the computer at the same time with multiple displays, the answer is no. Other users can log in over a network with Screen Sharing, but each one will need his own computer (not necessarily a Mac.)

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

My spreadsheet is set for landscape but shows portrait in "print view". How do I fix this?

My spreadsheet in Numbers is set for landscape but appears as portrait in "print view". What am I doing wrong?

Where are you seeing "print view?" Using the little paper icon at the bottom left of your document turns print view on & off & that is also where you can set portrait or landscape. The default is landscape.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

The external GPS is used only for 911 but the device will not op without it...this causes great inconvenience for me, having to run that cable to a window in the trwo houses I use it..ids there a way to disable the GPS if I do not care about the 911 funct

the external GPS is used only for 911 but the device will not operate without it...this causes great inconvenience for me, having to run that cable to a window in the two houses I use it..is there a way to disable the GPS if I do not care about the 911 functionability..? this is the only downside I have with the network extender and it renders my device useless..

Nope, GPS is a Federal requirement for anything operating a cellular telephone signal. You don't ever plan to call 911 until you are in an emergency. I don't see that requirement changing any time soon.
If you are truly inconvenienced by the VZW network extender then perhaps you should disable you calling features in these areas and swap over to WiFi only. There are many services and apps out there that can route your phone services through internet service providers.

Can we change the enhancement set for a component

Dear All
I have a situation where in we need to change assign a different enhancement set to all our components which got enhanced.
We can only have 1 enhancement set active for a client.
Now in our case
Say for client 300 we were using Enhancement Set E1.
Our requirement is to create one more enhancment set E2 and assign it to client C1. We can do that.
Do we we have a mechanism to move all development already done using E1 to E2?
Please Help.
Thanks
Gaurav Sahai

Hi Gaurav,
We create enhancement set in SM30, then assign it to client also there.
After that, when we go to BSP_WD_CMPWB - by default we see the enhancement set assigned to the client. Now there are 2 things:
1. to use different enhancement set for different users - you can implement badi component_loading to load different enhancement set depending on business requirement by writing code:
RV_RESULT = <name of ENHANCEMENT_SET. >
there is a default implementation in the system for reference.
2. all enhanced views can be seen in transaction SM34, give name of view cluster as BSPWDVC_CMP_EXT
Select your enhancement set -> go to Enhancement Definitions (here you see components enhanced) -> select any -> go to Controller Subsitutes (here you see all view enhanced).
You can try copying all these entries into another enhancement set. I am not sure if it will allow same entries in two different sets (if it doesn't you will have to delete from the other).
I hope that resolves your query.
Thanks,
Rohit

I HAVE AN ORTEK 810 USB KEYBOARD. WHERE CAN I FIND A MAC DRIVER FOR IT? THANKS

I havean ortek mck810 sub. are there MAC drivers for the keyboard?? thanks

yes-I checked for you and yes, there's a driver. and yes, my experience has been that you can plug pretty much any usb keyboard into your Mac and it should work, at least the basic functions will work fine. Tried it out with a keyboard I found in the dumpster near my condo, and it worked, so there's that, anyways
there you go

Can I use same result set for two queries?

Hi,
Can I use the same result set for two queries?
For example:
ResultSet rs = null;
rs = ps.executeQuery(query1);
while (rs.next()) {
rs = ps.executeQuery(query2);
while (rs.next()) {
Is it OK to use? or Is there any preformance issues?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Prasad Vagolu

Sure. You have a variable of ResultSet type. First you create a ResultSet and assign it to that variable. Then later you create another ResultSet and assign it to that same variable. Assigning an object reference to a variable takes essentially no time, and at any rate it isn't any faster to assign it to a different variable. Also, no matter whether you use one variable or two, you are still creating two ResultSets.
However, you really should be closing your ResultSets after you finish using them. That's nothing to do with the assigning-to-a-variable question.

OS X Mavericks won't install after erasing Mac Hardrive for reboot

So I decided to reboot my computing and now the new OS X software won't install

If you do have an iMac, Late 2012, restart the iMac holding the Command+Option+R keys so you boot from the Apple internet servers, you must be on the internet to do that. You can then choose Install Mac OS X and reinstall your operating system. Then proceed to go to the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks.
