How can we disassociate an Apple ID from a set of computers formated from a single computer using Carbon Copy Cloner and a single image and then Migration Assistant to install their old profile? The original ID is the Apple ID for all the stores.

Here is a bit more detail.
We were replacing old teacher machines and wanted to do it as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we set up one computer, through the OS installation and ran all updates, and then made a disk image so that we can use Carbon Copy Cloner to image all the other computers without having to run all the other updates. Once they were set up to a base level and assigned to a teacher we used Migration Assistant to import all their old files and items. Everything has been fine until recently the computers became aware of needing an update for one or two apps. The machine asks for the original computer's Apple ID for all updates. We have logged out of the apple id and back in with another to test if running the updates will work with that Apple ID and even after a refresh it still asks for the other Apple ID. How can we disassociate the Apple ID from those other computers so that the individual who owns the original is not needed each time there is an update or has to give out their Apple ID password?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

  • Can I update an iMac from another iMac using Carbon Copy Cloner?

    I change office locations every 6 months and move to a similar iMac setup. At each move, using external hard drives, I update the "older" iMac HD with the current Mail, Addressbook, work files, etc. Currently, I am using Snow Leopard; the machine I am transitioning to is behind, using Leopard.

    Yes. Noondaywitch is correct. As long as the version of OSX is no older than the one the newest Mac came with, and the older Mac is compatible (enough RAM, etc), and the drives are formatted properly, you should be able to clone from one Mac to an external HD, then clone that back to the other one.
    When you make the clone, boot up from it and run several apps, make sure your internet connection and browser work, etc.
    Before cloning back to the other Mac, boot it up from the clone and do the same.
    You may have to change a few settings for your internet connection, of course.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    I have an iMac 2013 running OSX 10.9.4. I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup user files to an external hard drive to free up space on my iMack Hard drive.
    So, say I make the backup today, delete iphoto libraries from my iMac, and then backup my iMac in a week. What happens to the iphoto libraries that are on the external backup drive now that I am backing up the iMac where they no longer exist?
    I will have them backed up to a separate second external drive as well.
    I'm just very cautious about removing them from the hard drive.
    Thanks for helping and understanding my crazy caution!

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • How to use carbon copy cloner to back up two computer in one external hard drive

    Hello,
    I have only one external hard drive which is already used for backing up my old macbook.  Recently, i bought a macbook air.  Is it possible to use carbon copy cloner to backup my data from macbook air to same external hard drive?  If yes, is there anything I should be caucious?  If not, could you suggest any other software of other method to backup my macbook air?  Thanks!!

    Yes, provided you  have the space. You will need to create another partition on the drive to use as the backup volume for the new computer.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. 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.

  • Can I continue using Carbon Copy Cloner after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

    Hi the last time that I backed up my Mac Pro to my external hard drive using Carbon Copy was when I was on Leopard. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, can I continue using Carbon Copy Cloner on Snow Leopard or do i have to format the external Drive? Thanks

    For compatibility make sure you have the latest version (3.3)

    My ipod touch 1st generation keeps saying apps are not compatable so how can i download apps froms the app store??????????????????????????????????????????

    It sounds like you are trying to download and install apps that require a later version of iOS than what can be and is probably installed on your iPod Touch.  Your 1G iPod Touch can only be updated to IOS 3.1.3 and no higher.  You can check the current version by heading to Setttings -> General -> About.
    If the app requires a later version that iOS 3.1.3, then you will not be able to install or use that app unless you purchase a new iOS device.

  • Infotype screen headers needs to be changed for all the infotypes

    Hi Guys,
    This would be for a global implementation question.
    For the US for a particular region, the screen header needs to be changed for all the infotypes.
    The existing field (in the infotype header) is Employee Group which needs to be replaced with employment status.
    The know how to change the headers but my question is STAT2 exists in IT 0000 but does not exist in 0001, 0002 0007.........etc
    When i go to Table T588J to add an entry , Screen Header 42......,
    I get an error " No Field STAT2 exists for infotype 0001"
    No field STAT2 exists for infotype 0001.
    Message no. PG811
    Diagnosis
    No STAT2 field exists for infotype 0001.
    Procedure
    Please contact your system administrator.
    Procedure for System Administration
    In Customizing, determine the incorrect entry in Personnel
    Administration in the Header structure per infotype view, step " Determine infotype header and correct it
    I would like to have some inputs from you guys ..... Any Suggessions...
    Thanks,
    Aastha

    Hi Aastha,
    Correct me if I am wrong.
    First you need to maintain the header in T588J.
    Screen header of an infotype is defined in view V_582A_B. We can define one screen header for employee and another for applicant in view V_T588I. The header modifier selected from view V_T588I has a definition in table T588J, which finally gets shown on the screen.
    Depending on the transaction class (A = Personnel Administration, B = Recruitment) and the country grouping, a header modifier is assigned to the infotype header in the u201CHeader Modificationu201D view V_T588I.
    For example like
    Screen Header / Tr. Class / Header modifier
    00                    /        A      /  60
    In the view u201CHeader Structure per Infotypeu201D (V_582A_B), a header has been assigned to every infotype. It also determines whether the data is valid from the system date or the start date of the infotype record
    Hope this is useful.

  • Custom CSS-Applying selected background for all the cols in the report

    Hi,
    I am trying to set a particular background for all the columns in the report(not for all the projects,so that I can avoid option of manually setting background color for complete report.For this I thought custom CSS is best option.So edited custom.css(C:\OBI11g_Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\b_mozilla_4) file with below code and went to the Answers-> Criteria->Choose Column->style-> check "Use Custom CSS Class"->MyCell
    Code used in custom.css
    .MyCell { background-color: #00ff00; font-style:italic; font-weight: bold;}
    Somehow I dont see the background color applied to any of the columns in report.Can anyone had successful attempt of this Custom CSS.Thanks in Advance.

    I am trying both the solutions.
    User 979493,
    I started manually writing the code instead of pasting and almost worked.In the mentioned below paths I dont have custom.css file,so I created one and manually entered below code.But does it work for only that particular column and not for all the columns.Is it supposed to work for all the columns or just that column.
    For example: I have 2 cols in the report,I used "Use Custom CSS Class" -> MyCell for the first column and when I ran results it shows background color for only col1 and not for col2.I thought this feature will apply background color for all the columns in the report.Please correct me if I am wrong.
    custom.css file content:
    .MyCell{background-color: #00ff00;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;}

  • Carbon Copy Cloner Problem: Can't see my Macs HD when selecting Target Disk

    I cannot find an answer anywhere on the net, so I'm trying the trusty Apple Discussions forums. Using Carbon Copy Cloner, I backed up everything onto an external HD and I erased everything from my G5 and reinstalled the software it came with. I then also reinstalled Tiger OS X and now, using CCC, I chose all the original backed up volume from my external HD as my Source Disk, but when I try to save them back onto my G5's HD, I cannot see my Macintosh HD under CCC's Target Disk options. (Note: I recently did exactly the same thing with my iBook using CCC and I was able to see the iBook's HD under CCC's Target Disk options without any problems).
    More info: I'm trying to do an Incremental backup, though I tried the "Backup everything" option too (which, incidentally, would defeat the purpose of erasing and reinstalling) just to see if my Macintosh HD would show up under the Target Disk, but it still didn't.
    I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get my Macintosh HD to appear under my Target Disk options on CCC. Thx.

    I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong on my own
    Well done! but you don't need to be "on your own" - you would do well to:
    •  use the link that 'baltwo' gave you and at the very least look at Announcements and Stickies
    •  use CCC Help available online here or (same docs) from the CCC Help menu.

  • Can I Use Time Machine With Carbon Copy Cloner?

    As of today, I upgraded my iMac (and eventually my Macbook) to Snow Leopard. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a clone of my drive to my external (I did a clean install) and now that Snow Leopard is installed, I only want to put back on to my computer just certain files, such as a select selection of my documents, some of my iTunes library, etc. Given that I couldn't find that option in Migration Assistant, I just manually copied over what I wanted from the clone on my external.
    Still, I would like to keep a daily backup for my iMac's HD and that's where Time Machine comes in, but there's some questions I have before I do it:
    Given that my iMac's HD now has significant free space (as I only brought back, say, 10% of the stuff to my iMac from my external when I cloned on CCC), if I enabled Time Machine to back up my iMac's HD stuff, it wouldn't overwrite the 90% of stuff on my external with the 10% that's on my iMac's HD, would it? For instance, I have about 20,000 songs on my external drive, but maybe have brought back only, say, 5,000 to my iMac (for now). Given that my iMac's iTunes Music folder shows 5,000 songs on it, when TM backs that up to my external drive, it won't overwrite the other iTunes Music folder which has the other 15,000, right? The same thing could be applied for documents, photos, etc. If not, how would TM deal with that? I would hope to avoid the other extreme, which are duplicate files/folders.
    I guess I just want to be able to have the ability to get into that cloned drive on my external if I need to add more stuff to the iMac or if I need it one day to boot up the machine. But I also want to be able to have Time Machine at hand to back up daily the little that is on my iMac right now. So I suppose I'm wondering how can I achieve this without the two conflicting or screwing up?
    Thanks!

    Correct. Time Machine won't delete anything else on the same volume.
    But as Barry says, it will use all the empty space available, before it starts deleting its oldest backups, so there will eventually be a conflict. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). Also see #1 there, to be sure you have enough space for Time Machine to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups.
    A better bet, however, would be to use a separate external HD. If you have the Time Machine backups on the same physical HD, when it fails (and they all do, sooner or later), you risk losing both.

  • Carbon Copy Cloner from Older OS to Newer OS

    If I use Carbon Copy Cloner and clone my HDD for my Mac Book Pro which is currently running Snow Leopard, and copy it onto a computer with Mavericks, is there anything I have to do special?
    Will it replace Mavericks with Snow Leopard?
    Or will it just put all my files and programs and such on Mavericks?
    Seems like a dumb question, but I am operating under the assumption that the newer OS X's may psossibly have some slightly different system folder structures and having a carbon copy of and older OS may cause there to be doubles of folders that couldnt be replaced because they are in different loctations or have different names.

    You could buy an external HD and make a time machine backup... in the setup of mavericks (with the new HD in your MacBook) you have the option to import user data from time machine or an old mac...
    An other option is to copy the HD of your MacBook to an external HD (with CCC) but you have to import your old data per drag and drop from the external Copy. This option is more difficult and requires much time, but you have a "clean" new system without any old stuff from previous systems...

  • Rebooting from USB / Carbon Copy Cloner?? Is it possible? Or Firewire only?

    Hello
    I'm just choosing a new backup drive for my MacBook Pro.
    I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner to back up.
    Is it possible to book from a USB 2.0 drive?
    Thanks

    Having a CCC image and running TimeMachine is an excellent option.  With a clone, you'll always be able to get up and running in just the amount of time it takes to reboot should you have a catastrophic failure of your internal drive.  You cannot boot from a TimeMachine backup.  Of course your TimeMachine backup will always have the most current versions of anything you might be working on that might not have been included in your last CCC image.  This way you'll be able to get up and running fast and you'll have access to all of your most current data.  You will need separate partitions if you want to run both on the same machine as TimeMachine will grow to fill all available space in the partition on which it is running, so you will need to give it its own partition.

    Sounds like you bought the iPad secondhand and the previous owner did not remove it from his/her iCloud account.
    If you are unable to contact the original owner, the iPad is (unfortunately) useless to you.
