How to prevent kids getting into all my apps and email?
One flaw with the iPad is that its so cool the kids want to play with it. But there's no real - or practical - way for me to prevent them from opening my work emails, my shopping apps, etc. I think it's a usability issue for Apple to assume that the person picking it up is always the owner. The Restrictions option is a joke.
It doesn't recognize all of my apps, so I can't adjust their settings. The first thing I did was install Chrome and my teenage son can do whatever he wants on it.
Then the kids can open, browse and respond to emails in my Enterprise work account.
My preference would have been the ability to create user accounts as with the PC to make sure they can't purchase $300 of stuff on Amazon when I'm not looking.
Any ideas?
You can prevent use of your email account by going to Settings>Mail>The mail account in question and turning that account off. The go to Settings>General>Restrictions and turn on the Restriction that prevents changing accounts. To acess the account yo will have to turn off that Restriction. Restrictions are passcode protected.

HT5244 How does Flashback Malware get into a Mac?
How does Flashback Malware get into a Mac?
The ‘Flashback Trojan’:
A version of an existing Trojan Horse posing as a legitimate Flash Player installer (named “Flashback.A” by a security firm) is designed to disable updates to the default Mac OS X anti-malware protection system, potentially leaving the system open to the manual installation of other malware without any system warnings. The most recent versions bypass any user action and automatically installs itself after an affected website is visited.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/10/19/fake_adobe_flash_malware_seeks_to_ disable_mac_os_x_anti_malware_protection.html
(Adobe is aware of malware posing as its Flash Player and warns users to ignore any updates that didn't originate on its own servers. "Do not download Flash Player from a site other than adobe.com," said David Lenoe, Adobe's product security program manager, in an entry on Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team's PSIRT blog. "This goes for any piece of software (Reader, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, etc). If you get a notice to update, it's not a bad idea to go directly to the site of the software vendor and download the update directly from the source. If the download is from an unfamiliar URL or an IP address, you should be suspicious.")
Flashback Trojan - Prevention of infection:
In order to prevent a potential infection with “Flashback” Trojans, Mac users should always obtain their copy of Adobe Flash Player directly from Adobe’s official website and to disable the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" option in Safari Preferences/General to avoid automatically running files downloaded from the Internet. Also, do not turn on Java in Safari Preferences/Security. Few websites use Java. Javascript is something entirely different and should be left active.
The Flashback Trojan does not affect PPC (non-Intel) Macs, nor has it been noted to affect users running Tiger OS 10.4.11 or Leopard OS 10.5.8.
Last, but by no means least, using Open DNS is the simplest way of preventing infection in the first place. Open DNS also protects against phishing attacks, re-directs, speeds up your internet connection, and works for all users of OS X from Tiger upwards:

Flashback Trojan - Detection and Removal
Users with Intel Macs running Snow Leopard OS 10.6 or Lion OS 10.7 should ensure that they have downloaded all the recent Java updates from Apple, which are designed to prevent infection and also remove any infection already present.
New Macs running Lion do not have either Flash Player nor Java installed. If you running Lion and have not already downloaded and installed Java, you should download the ‘Flashback malware removal tool’ from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5246 (356KB) which includes the same code as the Java update that plugged a security hole which allowed the malware to automatically install itself without admin authorization.
You can also use this to check whether you have been infected (for Intel Macs only) and remove it if required:

How can I get into the Dutch App store?
I am a Dutch Native living in the U.S. and since a few weeks the proud owner of an Ipad 2. I would like to download some Dutch apps for me and my son but I do not know how to get into the Dutch App store or how to find Dutch apps in the U.S. app store.
http://store.apple.com/nl
All the Apple online stores are just store.apple.com/(country-domain_suffix)
Not sure about payment policies and such (that is, if you need a Netherlands credit card with a Netherlands billing address, or whether you can use a US credit card). -
How does the GR get into SUS---MM-SUS Sceanario
Hi all,
How does the GR get into SUS---MM-SUS Sceanario. Can anyone explain??
Thanks in Advance..
Regards,
JaganHi,
In SUS - MM scenario
The supplier ships the goods and sends an ASN based on PO or an Scheduling Agreement to the purchaser. If ASN is based on PO then PO Response has to be accepted by the purchaser. When the ASN is sent from the SUS system, an inbound delivery is created automatically in SAP MM.
Now Create GR with reference to ASN or PO based on your requirement in R/3 - MM. The GR notification is then sent to the SUS system, where the supplier can display it.

TS1587 how do you open get into a imac intel
how do you open get into a imac intel
Up through the 2011 iMacs, getting into the iMac and replacing things was difficult but not at all impossible for the average person. OWC has some great video tutorials on how to open and work on an iMac. The 2012 iMac is considerably more difficult. Personally I would not hesitate to open a 2011 or earlier iMac if it was not under warranty. When mine is past warranty I may well replace the 256gb SSD with a larger one. A 2012 is still under warranty and frankly, I'd buy Applecare and sell it before it ran out of warranty. I got a 2011 refurb instead of buying a 2012.
If you choose to get into an iMac, be sure you have the proper tools and static discharge issues all set before you start. -
I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings? Please help. Thanks.
You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -

I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported. What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
