Desktop background changes when I change the user

The background changes from solid dark grey to solid dark aqua blue, when I make a quick user change. It happens automatically. Even when both desktops have the same (dark grey) background. This is a mess. Is it a bug?

that usuall happens when you are not connected to the internet. if you were running wifi your connection could have been lost for a moment and then recovered.

How to change the user of a cancelled background (batch) job?

Hi All,
I have a batch job which is being cancelled as the reference user account is locked. I want to update the job with a new user.
How can I change the user for a cancelled job? I am able to change the user for a scheduled job (by right clicking the job >> Change) but not for a cancelled job.
I am getting the error: "<<Job Name>> cannot be changed due to its status" when trying to change the cancelled job.
Please help.
Thanks
Vijay

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

Since updating my iPhone 3GS on my friends laptop, it keeps asking for her iTunes Id not mine. When I log onto a computer it comes up with my Id but from my phone it's my friends. I don't have an option to change the user Id when it pops up either.

Hello, 34sandy.
Thank you for the question. This behavior is normal if updated on another Apple ID account holders computer. To change the Apple ID on your device, follow the steps in the article below.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Change the user/system status when PP order is packed through COPP1

Hi All,
We have a requirement to set the system or user status for a PP order. The flow is the transaction COPP1 is used to pack the order for different dates. Now there is a button available on the toolbar when the second screen comes and it shows the data for different dates.
Is there any user exit or badi available to change the user or system status when tcode COPP1 is used. We want to change the status when the order is packed through tcode COPP1.
Has anyone of you come across such kind of requirement before if yes then guide me how to solve this problem. If there is other way out also let me know.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
I am not aware about COPP1 transaction and fuctionality but production order change (automatic) is possible from Status profile settings. Create a status profile with your desired statuses and assign this to ordey type.

Why do we change the user group when doing LSMW?

Hi experts,
I just wanted to know why do we change the user group Tcode SU3 when we are doing upload of data using LSMW?
Thanks,
JEss.

As Rajesh suggested if you are uploading data for action in which infotype group is based on User Group then you need to change User group.
Otherwise there is no need to change user group for using LSMW.

Desktop Background changes on it's own after login

Hi everyone!
Ok I have a small but annoying issue with my iMac.
First thing's first, I am using OS X Leopard 10.5.6. I have also enabled "Enable fast user switching"
in System Preferences under the User Accounts menu.
I have my desktop background set to "Change picture every 5mins" & that is working perfectly fine,
however I notice that when I go to the Login window by clicking the "fast user switching" icon on
the top right-hand menu, then logging in back to my account, my desktop background changes to
a default picture that my computer selects each time I log back in. This picture is not even in the
folder of pictures that I use for my "Change picture every 5mins" setting. By the way this picture is one of the pre-loaded ones from Apple; it's from the nature series, the one seen in the latest 17" Macbook Pro ad, anyone seen it? Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/#ad
Is anyone else having the same issue? I would appreciate any help anyone can provide!
Thanks!

Hi lewisspindlove,
Thanks for your input,
it doesn't happen when i have my desktop in a "single picture" mode, and,
it doesn't happen on other accounts, because besides mine(Admin), there is only
the Guest account and this does not occur on that account.
I tried your method of removing the wallpapers folder from Libary, then I
noticed that the computer will select ANY image which I last used when in
"single picture" mode, not "Change picture every 5mins" mode.
For example, let's say I have a picture which I saved in the Documents folder,
and I use that in "single picture" mode; after which I revert back to the folder which contains the pictures I want for "Change picture every 5mins" mode (which is stored somewhere else).
If i go to the Login window & log back in again, the computer selects the picture
I last used (the one in the Documents folder) as my background, BUT, after 5mins the picture changes to the ones I'm using for "Change picture every 5mins".
I hope I'm not confusing everyone!
This is a complicated & weird but ANNOYING problem!
Any ideas if an Archive & Install would help? Does that erase all of my stored data on my HDD?

Error while trying to change the user password on OSX Lion

Hello,
I am trying to change the user password ( no admin user ) using the webinterface. I enabled the functionality in webservices on the server.
I can loginto the three line password changing form. After I enter the old and two times the new password, I get the information
"Your request could not be completed. The password server may be unavailable."
How can I fix this problem? I also tried https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2485167?start=0&tstart=0.
Thanks in advance for help.

I currently have this error on my 10.6.8 ML server when trying to change password.
In my situation, the message definitely comes from the password policies. As soon as I use a new password that respects minimum complexity (e.g. 8 characters min, 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter, 1 number), the password changes flawlessly.
It would be nice to change this horrible message to something more meaningful... If someone has any ideas on how to do this, thanks for sharing!

BAPI_USER_CHANGE to change the user data

Hi,
I am using BAPI_USER_CHANGE to change the user data like telephone number, address etc. Everything is working fine but when I want to add new telephone number with no change in exsting numbers then it wont allow to add instead of adding it changes exsting information.
Ex. Exsting telephone numbers 123 & 456
      And I want to add 3rd number as 789
     Then final record should be 123,456,789
     But this function module doesnt do that it changes first one with new one i.e. 789 & 456.

Swarup
Pass all records for Tel Numbers alongwith the new record.... I think, you are just passing the new Tel Number details to the BAPI.
Thanks

How do i change the user on the new health app?

How do I change the user on the new health app?

How do I delete the old User and create my own name and settings?
Really, the best way is to "fool" the system into thinking this is a first run system. To do this, you need to do the following
First, boot into single-user mode by powering the system while holding the cmd-S key combination down. This should bring you eventually to a black screen with a Unix terminal display. Type the following three commands (that period before AppleSetupDone is very important):
/sbin/mount -uw / <cr>
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone <cr>
shutdown -r now <cr>
What should happen is that when the machine reboots after the last command, you should get a "Welcome to MacOS" routine which will ask you for user information and set up your new account using that information.
After you get that done, you should, one way or another, be able to delete the folder of the old user in the Users folder, though you may need some help with that as well.

How to change the user for an event job as SAP_MONITORING_STARTUP_DISPATCH

Hi experts!
We change the user that execute all our jobs. I can change the user JOB-BW for JOB-BI for this job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP, but the problem is when this job is executed by event for this other job SAP_MONITORING_STARTUP_DISPATCH, but i can't change the user JOB-BW for JOB-BI for this event
Could you tell me, how i do the change user for this job.
Best Regards
Ramon Sanchez

Hi!
My problem have been solved. The job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP is automatically created by
Job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP. It is an event triggered job to handle the startup-methods which are to be processed in batch.
The event is SAP_MONITORING_STARTUP_DISPATCH; I only select the job in SM37 and specify this event and after made the search the job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP i only change the user.
Thank you all for your help!

Authorization for changing the user status

Hi all,
I need to give authorization in such a way that after the initiator has creataed a DIR...:
1. When it goes to the next approval, the person should be only able to change the user status and save.
he should not be allowed to change anything else.
I have tried using different authorization objects but none of them worked. Is there any tcode in DMS for just approving the DIR (changing it to next available user status), similar to release strategy. For ex ME29N for approval of PO (Purchase order) ?
Thanks
Anish

Hi Anish,
Based on your requirement, I would like to suggest to go by workflow to approve the document..
With the help of workflow, you can approve the document in workflow inbox itself (workitem), no need to go to DIR, the status will get automatically change in the DIR.
for this you have to use function mudule (set/get next status).
you can do this by taking the help of Workflow consultant and abap.
