How can you delete users without losing what their username is tied to.

Hi,
I'm trying to delete obsolete users out of the system, but if I do I lose anything their user name is still associated with associated with(ex. purchase orders, material request etc.) Can anyone help?

This was through some discussions via OSS.  I've always preferred to keep them myself, but there are always exceptions.  The client decided to ask SAP direct and the final recommendation was not to delete the ID's but just expire them.

    I have two identical Mail accounts.  Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost.  How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

  • If your Iphone 2 is disabled, how can you restore it without losing the contents? We know the right passcode.

    We are trying to restore a disabled Iphone 3. It does not have active phone service, but is used for apps. We know the correct passcode but my son entered it wrong too many times and it disabled. The phone says to connect to ITunes but that is not working because of the passcode. Does anyone know how to restore the phone without losing the contents?

    You will have to restore, losing anything not saved to your computer.

  • I have double IDs for Itunes.  How can I delete one without losing my music.  Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s.  All devices are registered to do so.  However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

    I have double ID's for Itunes.  How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want.  It was an issue when I tried to transfer music ..  I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back.  They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device.  So, I chose the ID that showed more music.  I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music.   Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's.  Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal.  When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now.  However not on my I phone. 

    I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
    1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
    2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
    3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
    4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
    Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
    You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.

  • How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

    How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
    Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
    Thanks!

    This is the only way I know of.  It is messy though.

  • My question is to anyone that can help..I downloaded 2-300 photos on my iPad and want to reload a few hundred more. The last time I did this I lost the first batch of photos I loaded a week before. How do I just add without losing what is already on iPad?

    You need to add the new photos to the ones that are currently on the iPad and (re-)sync them all - only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).
    You can use third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to the Photos app via your wifi network, but they will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album, and not into a 'proper' album.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

    When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover.  How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

    Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy.  Chnaging the theme may change the layout  of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
    Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
    Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

    You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How can I enable synch without losing my apps?

    Hello,
    I read the forums and I cannot find a solution to my unique situation.
    I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and synced apps and music with iTunes and everything was mostly great. The only problem was the slowness of iTunes so I started using MediaMonkey instead to transfer music. I also downloaded apps exclusively through wifi, so I never bothered to sync my iPod with iTunes for months. Then I upgraded the harddrive, did a clean install of Windows, and sold my old harddrive. It was not possible to sync my iPod anymore and I didn't care because MediaMonkey/Wifi worked perfectly for my needs ...
    Until I installed firmware 3.1! Now MediaMonkey crashes and I can't add/remove songs from my iPod. So I was going to wipe my iPod and give the new version of iTunes another try, but now I am worried about losing all the apps I've downloaded over wifi. I've logged into iTunes and I cannot find a record of apps that I have downloaded/purchased. *Which brings me to my question: How can I enable synch without losing my apps?* I'm particularly worried about the apps that were free when I got them but they now cost money.
    Thank you for your time,
    bougatsa

    The "File -> Transfer Purchases" option didnt work at first, but then I clicked around and managed to get this new computer image added to the new Home Sharing feature. Now all my iPod apps have been transferred to my local iTunes apps folder, thank you Julian!
    And Anna, thank you (tack?), I believe you that it works but now that I have my apps locally I won't try I'm sure you'll understand.
    I had bad thoughts of ditching my iPod for something else but I won't now! This forum rocks! Thank you all again
