Changing DNS settings and OD accounts

We were having problems with our server, and found that it was because of DNS settings. We now have a FQDN, but nobody can log on. How do I import the users and groups to the new domain?

Check to make sure that your DNS is set up properly.
In terminal:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Also... Have you bound the clients to the server? You have to do this in the System Preferences under Accounts in 10.6 and higher.
It's in the Directory Utility in 10.5
Once the client computers are bound to the server, you can start creating your User list in Workgroup Manager.
Unfortunately, there isn't a super easy way to automate this. You have to set up your groups, set up your group preferences (if you want any), add your users, and apply them to the groups.
There are some tricks to making this easy, ie set up a user template... That way all you have to do is type the user names and passwords (if you want them).

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Micro

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Forgot password'. Enter the ID you set iCloud up with. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.

The "read" emails in one of my 3 email accounts have disappeared. I changed no settings and checked the view and they are gone. I need them back! Help!

Suddenly my main email account is not showing the emails I've kept in line...the other accounts haven't changed at all. I changed no settings, checked everything, no tags are in place. I shut down the program and opened it and nothing. I need those messages back! Where could they be??? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
a) Number of messages?
b) Size on disk?
5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?

Change dock settings and mouse actions in accounts?

After creating accounts for my class periods I changed the appearance of my/the administrator's dock and the actions of my mighty mouse to enable right click. After logging out and then logging back in as one of my class periods my changes did not carry through.
Please tell me there is an easier way to change the dock and mouse actions than having to log back in as the administrator, going to EACH account, changing them so they can access system preferences, log back in as the class period, make the changes and finally go back in as the admin to take off their access to system preferences. Yuck...
Also, when a student is logged into their period is there a way to switch to the admin account temporairily? For example, if they try to open an application they don't have privileges for shouldn't it prompt the admin to type in the password instead of requiring that I log out? Thanks for any help!

Download and install the Server Admin Tools from Apple. It is intended for OS X Server but works fine on the regular version of Tiger.
Then have a look at Workgroup Manager. It allows you to set all sorts of preferences for any number of accounts. Think of it like Parental Controls on steroids.

User settings and mobileme account removed upon user logout/login

On several occasions my touchpad settings and format settings (system preferences/international) had suddenly changed.(i.e. "tap to click", "drag" and "drag lock" all changed and so does the format from UK to USA). On these occasions I am also thrown out of my mobileme account and my idisk partitioning is removed. No other keychain setting seems to be affected. I wasn't sure what triggers this, and at first I thought it was due to a run down battery, which somehow changed the settings. However, I just noticed, that when logging out of my user account and back in, the settings are suddenly being changed.
Does anybody have an idea what is going on? This is rather frustrating, having to re-sync my idisk all the time.

You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

HT5621 How do I change the email and apple account on my new work IPad from the old user to my email and account?

How do I change the email and account info on my new iPad from the old user to me?

Restore the iPad to out of the box configuration. This will erase all contents/settings on the iPad. Then set up using your ID and email info.

What happens to VPN , Wifi settings and Email accounts on iPad if synced with a new computer and itunes account?

I have an Ipad with VPN,Wifi connections and email accounts already created . Now I want to sync it with another computer using a new account as this device is to be given to someone else. I want to know what will happen to the settings already made as I do not want them to change ?. Deletion of Apps and other media files is ok but the settings like VPN,Email account and Wi Fi shoudl not be reset.

Pre-installed Apps such as Mail, Camera, Photo Booth, Notes, et cetera, are kept. Any iOS updates are retained. Otherwise, the iPad is returned to its factory default settings.
If you planned to sell an iPad, you might go ahead and do the reset manually. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. Doing this would ensure that any sensitive personal data is erased.

How do I get rid of the dropdown list history on the location bar? I have tried changing several settings and all I have done is mess up my ability to open ZIP downloads.

I wanted to clear the drop down suggestions/history list on the location bar so I went to Tools/Options and tried changing several settings. I could not get the results I wanted. Suggestions?
I did get one unwanted result -- or maybe just a coincidence. I received an email with attached pictures in a ZIP format and I could not get the download to open. Suggestions?

Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing

Firefox is not working - I believe it is because a McAfee pop-up asked if I wanted to allow something, and instead of 'allow always' I clicked 'block.' A year or so ago I did this (and forgot) and it changed the settings and I also lost MF access.

Everything else about my computer works fine, but I get a small
pop-up window in the bottom right asking if I want to allow some
kind of program access, and the options are 'allow always',
'allow once', or 'block.' I forgot that I lost access to MF and
had to call someone to help me change the settings a yr or so
ago. But I believe it was this same issue - when I re-booted the
settings took effect. What must I change in my settings? I
already deleted my MF profile.

Has any had you try a reset yet? Sometimes the WiFi & Cellular anntennas get wacky.

I changed internet providers and email accounts. I have managed to set up a new Apple ID but my I-phone is not recognizing it.

I recently changed internet providers and thus had to set up a new email account. I managed to change my Apple ID but my I-phone 4S is not recognizing it. It still brings up the old user ID. I am also unable to retrieve Windows Mail (also wants old info) I synced my phone. What else can I do?

Change DNS settings in Solaris 11

Where do I need to go to change the DNS settings on a Solaris 11 server?

I'd like to refer you to the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1455/dnsref-31.html#dnsref-36
Settings are handled through the SMF repository, using the "svccfg -s network/dns/client" command.
If this does not give you the answer you are looking for, then I recommend viewing the rest of the document.
