Changing email over to a new user

i was recently given a blackberry curve by a friend. the device is still reciving the emails from his account even though the phone number has been changed and the phone reset. i have gone through the email set up and attempted to log in, but the password he provided me with does not work, and when i attempt to send the password to the phone, it never recives the email.
any help in fixing this problem would be wonderful!

A password request from the BIS account will be sent to the phone number attached... so your friend who might still have that phone number should be getting those text messages.
You need to:
1) Options > Advanced > Service Books.
Delete all those with an apparent email address in them, or you can delete just delete them all.
2) Call your carrier (or have your friend do so) and request politely that they remove the PIN from his BIS account. Explain you purchased the device used. They don't have to do this for you, so ask nicely. They should do it for the owner of the PIN, easily. Remember, as far as the carrier is concerned, your friend still "owns" the PIN.
3) Setup your own BIS account (a BlackBerry Data Plan) on your carrier and register the device PIN/IMEI on your account.

You sell an older iphone; will apps transfer over to a new user?

You sell your iphone 4; to someone; who presumably registers it as their own; will the 300 apps you have on it transfer over to the new user?

Yes, if you set up the new phone to the same Apple ID and iTunes account you used to purchase the apps. Your content is tied to your account and Apple ID, not the device.
The easiest thing to do is to back up the old phone before you sell it. When you first connect the new phone to iTunes, choose to restore from backup. You new phone will be nearly the same as your old phone (it may not put everything on there perfectly - I've had some folders messed up and had to re-organize some apps, but nothing really major).

Merging Phone numbers and email addresses in a new user account

OK... here goes....
For the last 10 years my wife and I have shared one user account on our desktop computer, a G5 tower.
We have been able to successfully keep our 'digital lives' separate because I used Apple Mail and Address Book with my iPhone, syncing with mobile me. She used Microsoft Entourage and a flip phone.
She has just gotten an iPhone 4S and I want her to be able to sync contacts with Address Book. So... I am FINALLY setting her up with her own user account and getting her to use Apple Mail and Address Book. We do NOT want my Address Book to sync with her new iPhone.
I think I can import her messages and mailboxes into Mail in the new user account easy enough. And I am pretty sure I can get her Entourage email addresses into Address Book also. I have seen some articles online and I think I got it straight.
Here is the part I am not sure about. When she got her iPhone last week the Verizon store transfered her PHONE NUMBERS into the iPhone form her old flip phone. How do we merge the email addresses (from Entourage) and phone numbers (currently on the new iPhone) into Address Book?
I am asuming there are gong to be many double entries and such as the names will not match.... but i do not want to overwrite anything and lose data. Will we just have to suck it up and manually merge the data?
We can not use iCloud yet, as the machine is not Intel and is only running Leopard. There is a new Mac Mini in our near future and I will get the iCloud running for her soon enough. And I anticipate no issues moving over her new user account, from the G5 over to the new Mini.
I ONLY use my white Intel MacBook running Lion and the iCloud to keep MY life in sync these days and doubt I will put my MacBook user account on the new desktop... but I might at some point.
Thanks

New user - how do i change permissions from old to new user?

I've got a new employee. I need to switch all permissions of files from one employee to the new guy. Any EASY way to do this? Files/folders are in many different sharing points and folders.
Thanks!!!

A easy, but dirty, way to do this is to change your old employee's UID to something else and change your new employee's UID to the one you just replaced. If you do this as you create the new account, everything might just work out fine. It will truly transfer ownership of everything to the new user.

Outlook 2013 change email boxes (views) between different users

When using outlook 2013 on my workstation, there are several different test accounts that have been setup. However can you show me how to switch between the different email accounts?

Hi,
Did you set the different test accounts in same Outlook profile or separate profiles?
Seems you have setup them in separate profiles, if this is the case, we can switch between different email accounts by changing the Outlook profile. To do this, open
Control Panel, locate and click Mail (32-bit), then click
Show Profiles button, switch the profile by changing the
Always use this profile drop-down menu.
In addition, we can start Outlook using the /profiles switch to open the
Choose Profile dialog box each time Outlook opens. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /profiles and press Enter.
Or, we can use the /profile profilename switch to load the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks (" ").
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

Steve Fan

I redeemed my itunes card on the wrong itunes account, how can i change it over to my new account?

i forgot the security questions on my old account so i had to make a new one and i put my $30 voucher on my old account

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

I have changed email address and this new address is now my new apple id.When advised to update apps,my old email address shows and s when I insert my password the update is declined.How can I change this please.

Please answer my question.Thanks

You question is a little Confusing...
Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
If so...
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
If not..
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

Application crashes, but not in new user account. How to fix?

Like many others on the forum, I have experienced frequent crashes in SL in Mail, Safari, Powerpoint, and other applications, particularly when adding an attachment to an email message or inserting an image file in a presentation slide. Did all the usual maintenance things such as verifying and repairing permissions, reinstalling SL, trashing virus protection apps, etc. Crashes persisted. However, I created a new user account and when working in that account the crashes do not occur.
What does this suggest about the nature of the problem and how do I resolve it, preferably without migrating all my files over to the new user account.
Many thanks.

Open Directory Utility. You will find it in Applications/Utilities.
Click the lock to make changes and enter your admin password.
Go to the menu bar: Edit > Enable root user.
Follow the instuctions to create the System Administrator (Root) user.
Do not use the same password that a regular user already has. Do not use a trivial password.
Log out the current user.
In the log in window, enter root as the user name.
Enter the password that you just created.
You now have access to all User accounts, folders and files. Move the files you need from the old account to the working one. For example move the contents of your old Documents folder to the new Documents folder. This is easiest if you open two Finder windows and place them side by side. repeat this for the other folders in your old user space with one exception. *Do not* copy the contents of the Library folder.
There are a couple of things in the Library folder that you probably do want. To retrieve your email, copy the contents of the Mail folder. If you have installed fonts in your user space copy those too.
Let your new Library manage itself from then on. Your apps will place preference files etc in the appropriate folders as they are launched.
You should also give the working account admin priviliges. (System Preferences > Accounts)
Be very careful whilst logged in as root. The main Library and System folders are no longer protected and nothing requires a further password entry. Do what you need to do and get out of there.
When you are finished log back in to the working account and open Directory Utility once more.
Go to Edit > Disable root user.
Keep the old user account on the drive for a while until you are sure everything is working correctly and nothing is missing.

Sluggish Mac - why does new user fix it?

Hi everyone,
I bought my Macbook pro less than a year ago, and already it's really sluggish. I run Avid, Photoshop, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Firefox and Thunderbird constantly (though not at the same time) as well as many other applications.
But it's started to take a long time to open each program, and I get the beachball all the time. I noticed that my wife's user account is really quick however, so made a new user and everything's really quick for me now.
However, with all the program preferences, user settings, etc etc, it's a pain to have to migrate everything over the my new user account.
Is there an equivalent 'flush' I can do to an existing account that gets rid of all the gumph that's slowing it down? Or do I just live with creating a new user every few months?
Thanks for any help you can be...
John

Not to be argumentative, but defragging a drive on a new computer is a waste of time and unnecessary. If your computer is sluggish there may be other more likely causes. See:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Plus consider you may have too little RAM for the memory hungry applications you are using concurrently. See:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Transfer iWeb site to new user

I designed a site on one .mac account and want to move it to another .mac account I run so that the URL is different. I've set up another user on my computer so iWeb will upload to the appropriate .mac account, but... how do I import the previous iWeb-designed data over to my new user? I've tried dropping the User/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain file into the new username (same location) but when I try to upload it says "You don't have permission to make changes to that file".

when I
try to upload it says "You don't have permission to
make changes to that file".
What exactly does the "upload" mean here? When you try to publish?

Transferring control of website to new user?

Hello.
Okay, this one's a biggy.
I need to completely transfer a website over to a new user/web designer so that they can continue to amend and update the site without my input.
It's being hosted on Business Catalyst which is fine, as I believe I can just invite a new admin user and delete myself from it. But what's the easiest way to make sure they have all the files and pictures they need to continue amending the site from their side?
Also, if the site uses non web-safe fonts from my computer, will they be able to amended text on the site from a computer without this font installed?
Lastly, I'm not sure they have a Mac. Can they still amend the site using muse on a PC?
Thanks alot!
David

Hi David,
Couple of things to consider. Will the new designer be using Muse as well or taking it over to add functionality, etc in a different program such as Dreamweaver?
If they are using Muse, just adding them as an admin won't be enough. You will need to send them the .muse file as well. You may need to send them some original images if any that were not actually part of the site.
Another thing is that if the other designer has multiple sites on Business Catalyst it is likely that they are using their partner portal. In this case it would be easiest to send them the Muse file to upload to their account and once that is done and working delete the site from your account. Then the other developer can add the domain name back and since it was already on BC servers the domain name would not have to propogate or no settings would have to be changed. If it was me taking over the site that is the way I would suggest. You could also contact BC support to transfer it to the new designers account as well but seeing as how you have to send the new designer the .muse file anyway the way I mention is a lot faster.
Being on a PC or Mac doesn't make a difference.
Hope that answers some of your questions.

How do I copy my email messages to my new ipad?

Hello,
Just got a new iPad, and I would like to transfer the email messages that are saved on the old ipad to the new one. I'm not bothered for the settings, as they are easy enough to do on the new one.
I checked the articles about backing up and restoring, but then noticed this article that says (if I read it correctly) that whilst the account settings will be backed up, the saved messages won't. Well, that's the exact opposite of what I want. I'm not bothered about the account settings, but I specifically want the saved messages to be backed up, as I want to copy them across to the the new ipad.
Anyone able to help? This all seems very complex for what should be a simple operation. Thanks

I could not agree more with these statements!
Anyone know how to copy saved emails from one ipad to another? This is about the mst obvious and important thing I can imagine anyone wanting to do when they get a new ipad, that I can't believe Apple have made it so hard.
Were you ever able to find a way to get your cached/saved POP emails over to your new iPad? How can there NOT be a way to do this? I don't care that POP is old technology -- the iPad allows it to be used so it should provide sufficient functionality to make full use of it. Mailbox export/import is a basic function of any mail application.

How do i copy library items to a new users when my finder wont open?

i had the problem of my finder opening and closing constantly, i got told i need to create a new user which i did, the finder problem does not occurr in the new user, i then got told i need to copy my library items i want over to the new users but i cannot do that because the finder keeps closing my windows, any tips on how to access these folders not through the finder?
thabks, nervous kiwi.

if finder is quitting unexpectedly during use, this is not a good thing.
if it is not persisting in a new user, then it is a corrupt user preference.
there are ways of accessing the data you are looking for without using finder, but if you are going to go that route, you may as well try and fix the finder issue you are having.
you will need to do all this through terminal.
you can probably just rename the ~/library/preferences folder to preferences.old then restart and log in to your user. and then it should work. the draw back to this, is you will lose your preferences. but you can always move over the ones you want back throught the finder window once it is working again.
