Lion Up-To-Date upgrade
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request." See below:
OS X Lion - Get up to date
Apple Stores may still be carrying inventory of the models that did not have Lion pre-installed, hence the above offer. Product that is ordered from the Online store should come with Lion pre-installed as will CTO (configure to order) models.
And, babowa reminds me that you could install Lion on a separate partition in order to keep Snow Leopard's installation. You can create a second partition using Disk Utility.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Once you have your Lion installer application you can create a bootable USB flash drive (8 GB size):
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

How can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts

how can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts

You could open that contact in messages, and your iPhone should say "iMessage" instead of "Message" in the text field. However, this depends wether the contact has iMessage enabled, but it could also mean the contact is using an iPad or iPod touch.
Make sure that their mobile number is in iMessage, and if the text field says "iMessage", then they are using an iPhone (if they've enabled it).

How can I unregister my itunes from a laptop I know longer have access to? I have reached my 5 limit and no longer have access to any of them!

If you connect an external hard drive with music, iTunes won't know the music exists there until you tell it. There are two simple ways to tell the application about the music. 1) Drag the folder(s) that contain music files onto the iTunes icon on the Dock or 2) select Add to Library from the File menu and then use the fileselector to select the drive with the music.

How can I migrate my data from one user to another (to eliminate a previous owner's shortname?)

I purchased a Macbook Pro second hand a couple of years ago and whilst I immediately changed my user name, didn't realise that the previous owner's short name still exists (I was a bit of a Mac virgin at the time!). I now have tonnes of documents, applications, settings, bookmarks, etc. which are assigned against the previous owner.
I've now bought myself an iMac and before I migrate from the older machine to the new iMac, I wish to remove all trace of the previous macbook pro owner.
In researching how to change the shortname user, I've tried virtually everything and everytime have to resort to time machine to restore my settings, desktop, etc. I simply cannot get this to work. Even what seems quite a comprehensive article and procedure didn't work i.e. "full monty" section of the following: http://www.macworld.com/article/1132693/changeshortusername.html
Having failed miserably using different techniques and subsequently having to restore three times from time machine which is costing me hours upon hours, I'm absolutely frustrated at how to do this ... all I want to do is migrate everything to a new user account and delete the old user and previous owner.
Surely someone out there can provide a fool proof, simple and effective method to migrate the user data and keep intact?
Please help if you can!

The only possible downside to this is, the transferred account may lose permission to the files on previous backups.
Actually, there is a way to prevent that, also a bit odd. On the old Mac, go to System Preferences > Accounts and unlock the padlock. Control-click (right-click) the account you want to delete in the sidebar and select Advanced Options. That will bring up a window like this:
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THAT WINDOW. Just note the UID number.
When you start up the new Mac, the first account created (during initial setup) is automatically assigned #501. The next is 502, etc. What you want to do is, after creating the first account, Restart and set up one or more temporary accounts in a way that will include that number; then set up an additional one (an Admin account with the identical names as the one you want to trash). Then log on to the additional one, delete the temporary ones and Restart your Mac (to finish clearing the numbers).
Log on and run Migration Assistant as above. That way, you'll get the prompt to rename it as above, but the UID it has will not be a duplicate, so Migration Assistant can transfer it "as is."

How can i migrate my software from a macbook pro to a mini server

So i have bought a new Mac Mini Server but now i want to migrate my MacBook Pro User Profile, Data Files and Software to it. yet it would appear that there is no migration agent to use which implies that Apple miss an important part of the Mac experience.
So if any body out there has a solution i would welcome your input. i had thought about using the push option from the MacBook Pro migration Agent but not sure if that would work.
Charles

Well OK you can not use the migration assistant because there isn't one for SL Server and it looks that if you want to migrate from a MBP to server as a user you have 2 choices manually move the item you want to an identical user on the server or create the user and bild the software and move the data required.
how ever i have had a result in using the 2nd drive for just SL, when I spoke to the tech at the apple store yesterday he said use a retail copy of OSX SL which wont boot but apply update 10.6.8 combo and the system will then boot and bingo you will have a dual boot machine. "Ho No you Won't" firstly once you run the install from the CD which has to be triggered from Server the machine will reboot after copying the packages to the new drive but does not run them to build the SL system so you have nothing to install the update onto hence doesn't work.
Here's the suprise I had a copy of my MBP on a spare hdd produced by Carbon Copy, so I attached this the a FireWire case to the mini held the alt key down and powered up. much to my suprise the mini booted into the external drive hold my MBP copy of SL. from then on in it was just a case of copying the drive using carbon copy to the 2nd drive on the mini and hey presto reboot and i now have both server and and non server mini in one box.
Sometimes you just get Lucky.

How can I migrate my photos from iCloud Drive into iCloud Photos?

So in the midst of a local backup issue I decided to take the plunge and purchase some 200GB of storage from our friends at Cupertino to store cherished family memories in the view that they would never be lost as I can trust Tim and Co. to look after them. (No issues in that dept by the way).
However, after taking said plunge and uploading my entire back catalogue of photos/videos into an iCloud Drive "Photos backup" (original name I know) folder - i realised that iCloud Photos was becoming available - but I saw no option at the time to import such a vast amount.
My question therefore... how can I now migrate these historic moments in time from my iCloud Drive into the iCloud Photos app?
It's still using the same storage plan... just a 'move folder'.. right? well unless I'm being stupid (and I'm not ruling this out) - I can't see a way to do this.
Has anyone else fallen into the same issue?
Help me Apple-Fans, you're my only hope
James

You access them with the App responsible for the type of file.

How can I stop authenticated users from getting other user's information?

We recently discovered that it is possible for authenticated users, via KMu2019s details view, to view details about the other users that have access to the same resource as you. Our portal (7.0 sp15) is used for an external facing web site. We have secured it against anonymous users but the problem still remains for authenticated users. Here is an example:
The KM folder documents\Public Documents has been assigned read permissions for the group Everyone. An authenticated user can open the URL https://<host>/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public%20Documents and a list of folders are shown. The user can then select the Details from the menu for one of the folders and the Details iview is displayed. They then select the menu item Settings > Permissions and the users/groups/roles assigned to this folder are shown. The user can then select a user and view that users name and email address or the user could select a group and view for each member of the group the user id, name, and email address which could then be used to help attack the site.
So I thought it would be easy enough to disable the details view for all users but content managers or administrators but I seem to running into difficulty.
I tried disabling the Details KM command with limited success. Even with it disabled, if you know the URL for the details component you can still access it. So it seems the better option is to take away access to the details component. It seems that the users are getting access to the Details iView from the standard eu_role. If I remove the iView from this role then all user have no access to the Details in KM. I tried to add the iView to another role that content managers would have but when logged in with a user that had that other role I still was not able to access the Details iView.
This SAP Help document [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm ]discusses the eu_role(Standard User role) and it states that
By default, the Everyone group is assigned to the Standard User role. If you choose to use the other every user roles instead, you need to remove these assignments from the Standard User role and apply them to the Every User Core and Control Center User roles.
But, when I look at what groups the role is assigned to or what roles are assigned to the Everyone group they donu2019t appear to be linked contrary to what the documentation says. So, what Iu2019m thinking here is that I can create a copy of this role and remove the Details iView from the original and then assign the copy to the content managers and administrators. Doing this causes all users to lose access, even the content managers.
I thought Iu2019d give the Security Zones a try to see if this could help me but when I take away rights from here it still allows access.
Iu2019m stumped. Iu2019m sure there is some key piece that eludes me. What can I do to allow users read only access to some KM folders and files while preventing them from viewing the permission/user details?

The only 3d party apps are Hazel...
And that's your problem!
From the Hazel site's description:
Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create.
Hazel, is a prefPane so you must have some rule (or it supplied the rule as a default) to put pictures (jpg's) from your Desktop (folder) into your Pictures folder.
Open your System Preferences and Hazel in there and either turn off Hazel or change or delete the appropriate rule covering this situation.
