Cannot change mobile account settings, connected to Windows AD

Hi!
My Mac Book Pro, 15", 2-3 months old, Lion, 8GB RAM. I have also VMware Fusion 4.x installed.
I also still have my old MBP 13", 2,5 years old with almost the same config, but VMware 3.x.
Now to the strange thing.
On the MBP 13" I CAN change settings for my mobile account but on the MBP 15" it is not poosible? How can it be different?
Please see attached picture. Swedish "Flyttbart konto" = Mobile Account. Swedish "Inställningar" = Settings. As you can see it is not possible to edit/change settings........
How do I make it possible to make changes in my mobile account? I want to sync other folders and so on......

Hello bh8er,
I'm sorry to hear you are having mail issues with your Mac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing. What are you seeing when you go to Mail > Preferences and select the Accounts tab? Does it show more than one account in the left hand column, and does it allow you to select your account? What does it say for Account Type? You may also find the additional troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful, in particular the portion about using the Mail Connection Doctor:

Cannot change email account settings

I have been getting error messages trying to send email saying the email is in my outbox as it cannot determine my outgoing email server!!
I see a thread here giving the guidance in Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server Looking at the account as directed I cannot see Account Information just nothing there I can see in Menu, double clicking on the account name so I cannot check or change the SMTP server. The only thing I can see is a Details button but that has nothing to allow setting anything other then the email account name, password and the display name. The account Information is not there.
Help please to find this Account Information so I can check/change the SMTP server.

When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Mobile account settings & home sync

I've learned recently that introducing a MacBook into a corporate Windows world is easier said than done, but I've been fairly successful. One problem that has occurred recently (maybe due to a recent update) is that I can no longer access the Mobile account settings in my Accounts preferences. I setup the first MacBook Pro around the first of March. I successfully assigned a networked location as my home folder, and it synced just fine.
Now I've setup a second MacBook Pro today and found that I can't access the Mobile account settings in the Accounts preferences. Going back to my original MacBook Pro, I get the same thing... greyed out. I click on the Home Sync button in the toolbar and I click on "Sync Now" and I get no response. I see that it shows my last Home sync was on 3/4/10.
I don't have an OSX server here, we're using Active Directory on a Win2008 server. No specific rules have been assigned to these machines, but the accounts are Active Directory accounts.
Anyone have an idea why I can't use the home functions? These are new 15" MacBook Pro models with 10.6.3 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I got the same problem with our second Mac. But after activating it in: System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras and then HomeSync.menu, it became editable.
Does someone know how to change the server folder that the mac will sunc with?

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
What theme and book size are you using?

Mobile account settings greyed out

Hi,
We have an Open Directory running with mobile users on macbooks and normal users on Mac mini's. I have an issue with 1 mobile user where the mobile account settings can't be changed. Most of the options in the screens are greyed out; I can change the interval, but not the folders or the "at login - at logout".
The specific user is admin on the computer and I have the same issue on another computer when I create a new mobile account. I have deleted this user from the computer and recreated it, but it remains the same.
The issue started in Lion and remains after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Anyone can help me ?
Kind regards,
Bas

I tried setting Account Creation to Never as documented below. This made no change in the sync options on the client.

How do you disable mobile account settings/parental controls

My school had a one-to-one macbook program, but I switched schools. Now i have a heavily restricted computer. They had my account set to mobile and had parental controls enabled, so I used single user mode to create a new admin (remove /var/db/.applesetupdone and reboot) and remove them. However, even though no account has parental controls turned on, they are still enabled somewhere for all accounts, even admins. I have two questions: how do i disable mobile account settings, and where are the parental controls files located? I found some in /library/managed preferences/<account name here> , but editing these gives only temporary relief from parental controls, and they are reset when i restart. There has to be somewhere else that parental controls are flagged as on/set to sync on login. i removed the actual parental controls executables and stuff somewhere in /system but after that i couldnt open activity monitor and i didnt want to risk a reboot. please help me as this is very annoying. btw im on OS X 10.6.7

HI,
Try this..
Open System Preferences/MobileMe and select the Sync tab.
Deselect the box where you see: Synchronize with MobileMe. The last sync will noted at the bottom left side of the window.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

Cannot add/ change user account - error with Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service

Hello
A few days ago my computer went wierd.
I cannot update windows because I get no results when I use "Windows Search"
My metro UI doesnt work properly. I cannot use it.
Somebody said that it could be that my User Account could be corrupted.
I tried to create I new one, but I could do the first steps, because the computer doesnt respond when I click "Change my account" in controlpanel.

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.
Best regards

Cannot Change Custom Import Settings For AAC's

Last night I changed the custom import settings from 192 kbps to 160 kbps for a particular mp3 album I wanted to convert with that bitrate. I tried to change the custom settings back to 192 kbps (the bitrate most of my mp3's & wma's are in). For some reason, the window that came up many times before refuses to pop up now. I tried the custom settings for mp3's and that window still pops up. Anyway, I tried a repair and nothing happened. I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Updates, deleted there corresponding folders in C:/Program Files and then restarted the computer. I downloaded the iTunes 9 installer through the iTunes website and proceeded to reinstall iTunes. Still, the problem exists. I'm not sure what else to do? The only other thing I can think of is to do the same except install iTunes 8 instead and then search for updates and reinstall iTunes 9 that way. Would anyone know of any other method on solving my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

glenn,
I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. If you find a solution please email me at [email protected]

How do I change my account settings for youtube.

I want to upload from photos app but it still is signed in with my old account. IOS 6 took away the old youtube app and I have the new app and I'm signed in to my new account on the app, but when I want to upload from photos, it still uses the old account and I don't know how to change that.

You did sign out in the settings in the YouTube app? If you did sign out, quit the app, restart the iPad and then launch the app again, sign in again and then see if it brings up your new account.
But why did you change your account? I still use the same account I have had everywhere whether in the app itself or in a web browser. I'm just not clear as to why you would change your YouTube account. So that begs the question - did you try using the old account?

Change Recon account settings to allow initial GL bal upload

Hi All,
I am trying to upload initial GL balances but hitting issues with AP accounts. These accounts are Recon accounts hence do not allow me to post (which is correct) initial balance thru FB01. I had same issue with recon accounts for Assets but was able to make a temporary change in the settings in FS00, but this change doesnt work for AP recon accounts. Please help me asap.

Sameer,
What are you looking to actually accomplish? In most implementations, the initial load of the AP Reconciliation account is only accomplished by creating the open items that make the open balance through AP Documents (Invoices) at the vendor level. Therefore, no direct GL entries are necessary.
Depending on how you are loading the GL balances for those accounts that offset the liability, e.g. expenses, you would have to back out those amounts out of the GL balance so that you would be in total balance. Otherise, the best approach is to use a "Balance Load Clearing Account" which acts as the offset to the liability. This account is then typically used as the balancing entry to the GL Balances load and should zero out if all goes well.
With more clarity, I might be able to give more assistance.
Regards...

Cannot change recon. account in customer master

hi,
after i create customer master, i want to change recon. account, but cannot , this field display only. Anything i missing? thanks

Dear jo jo
Just go to XD02, enter the customer code and choose "Company Code Data". Now in "Account management" tab, you can change the said field as you wish.
Incidentally, why are you changing this?? Normally, this is linked with customer account group like exports, domestic etc. and hence, b4 making any changes, check with your FI people.
Thanks
