HT4796 how do I keep the same user account and not make a new one when transferring music?
How do I transfer files using the migration assistant and not create a new user profile? I am transferring from Win 7 to Mountain Lion and now the only way I see my music in Itunes is to flip to the new user account created. I am the only one using my mac and its a bit of a pain switching users to listen to music. Any thoughts?
Drag the iTunes folder over manually instead of using the Migration Assistant, or drag the other account's home folder to the desktop, authenticate yourself, and move the music into your main account's iTunes library.

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At -
How do I delete my Apple ID account and then make a new one again?
I want to delete my account and then use the same email to create a new one.
Apple IDs cannot be deleted. You can abandon it and remove your payment info but the account will remain.
If you do make a new account keep in mind that all apps downloaded or purchased with the original account will always be associated with that original account and require the old ID and password to update. -

How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?
I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work. -

I have had to semi-reset and reinstall my hp6500a plus. How do I keep the same eprint email address?
I have had a network blowup and a new computer and was told to do a semi-reset and full install on my Inkjet hp6500a plus. How do I keep the same eprint email address which I have given out to a number of people? When I did the install I seem to have been re-assigned a new @hpprint address and can't find how to change it back.
Hi,
I affraid you will not be able to use the same address.
Due to security reasons any removed ePrint address (due to Web Services removal, product reset or product replacement) is blocked for any user for 6 months period.
You may select a difference customized address by following the steps below:

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

my macbook wont allow me to use the same hotmail address as i used on my other computers. How can I keep the same email and log into it on a macbook?
That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm. -
How do you keep the same URL connection connected continuously?
I am trying to extract information from a web page, but it puts a cust_id in the middle of the URL. It generates the cust_id randomly everytime you use the site. I connect to the initial URL to find the cust_id, I substring that to the new URL and then make a new connection to extract the information, but the web page gives me an error saying that it doesn't recognise the cust_id. As if it was a new connection with the wrong cust_id.
How can I keep the first connection open and with the same cust_id information and then jump to another web page but using the initial connection. Using IE6 I can just cut and paste the second URL and get to the page, but with my java application it doesn?t work. Please have a look at my code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

How do I keep the same file size, going from tiff to jpg?
Going from tiff to jpg, how do I keep the same file size? Seems like I am not able to save the jpg´s in 16-bits... Thanks!
file size? you mean dimensions or file bytes ?
Jpg is compressed so it won't be the same
Tiff is losless / lossy format to get the better quality
as for 16bit jpg the format doesnt support it -
I created a new collection and put all of my same photos in them as a previous collection, then I changed them to black and white and both collections changed. How do I keep the first collection colour and make the second collection black and white.
For the second collection, choose the option to make virtual copies. Then you can turn the virtual copies to black & white, leaving the first collection in color. If you want file copies of the B & W images you can export copies.

I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip WindellHi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

Can I use the same user accounts for both Lion & SL?
I have one Mac that I can upgrade to Lion but it is the one that the entire family uses every day (I only can use it (and administer it) on weekends), so I have to make sure that there are no problems and no issues so my plan is to:
Move all of the users accounts to a different drive.
Configure 10.6.8 (SL) to use the user accounts on the different drive.
Back up SL to a bootable drive.
Repartition the Mac for a SL & Lion partition.
Reconstitute SL on both partitions.
Upgrade one SL partition to Lion.
I should now have a partition for SL and Lion that both use the same users accounts so when I (and then my family) are comfortable with Lion, the switch will be transparent.
Any problems that I am unaware of (and how to remediate it)?
TIA.There are a few discussions here on the topic that I was planning to employ:
Moving Home folder to different HDD From Mac OSX Snow Leopard via Terminal?
Moving some Users to different volume
How do you move a user account to a different drive?
Another way of doing it is to move the directory, and then alter the user's home directory using the NetInfo utility (Tiger) or Directory Utility (Leopard). In both, you can change the user's home directory from the command line in Terminal.app like so:
$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/user NFSHomeDirectory /Volumes/volname+/+user
In the SL System Preferences -> Accounts one can select a user's account, right click and choose Advance Options presents the screen below. This is how I intend to point each OS to the same user account on an external HDD.
Does that answer your question?
TIA.
