HT5616 Will new apple id impact on existing files?

My email address is expired because i am retired from my company. So i want to change my Apple id. Is there Any affect on my existing files in keynote, pdf, ibook, etc? And how to change apple id?

I will make this clear - DO NOT CREATE A NEW APPLE ID!
CHANGE the email associated with your current Apple ID or you will create headaches you will hope never to recover from. :-)
Before following the instruction JimHdk provided, be sure to also create security questions if you haven;t already done so, and add a recovery email address. This is insurance in case something goes wrong. I really suggest you do not skip these two steps.
Good luck.

Will New apple tv make existing models obsolete??

Or will there be an update to existing models that will allow them to have the same functions as the new apple tv's. I've been reading alot about the speculation of the upcoming itv, but nothing on a software update to existing ones.

I would assume you can still purchase movies on the Mac, and the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which seem to all sync with this new AppleTV anyway, so I don't think it's that big of a deal to rent only from the set top box... I realize it stinks when a feature is taken away, but maybe it's better for the new device to work that way. Maybe that's part of why it does more and is only $99. Or maybe it's because they will be able to get us better rental pricing, or ?
Just doesn't seem to be that big of a deal...

New Org Level impact in existing roles

Hi,
I would like to set/create 2 fields as organizational levels. For example KLART and DOKAR. Checking these I realized there is a big amount of roles "affected" by this change.
Because I plan to use the organizational level only for new roles , I would like to know which impact could have this change for existing roles, should one modify the existing roles after creating the Org Levels ? or in contrast they still work as always an no changes / adjustments is needed?
Thanks and regards
FedeX

Thanks Bernhard,
I have a question
As I mentioned before my goal is that the existing roles keep working after running that program... and do not want to perform any adaptation....only if there is a real error that avoid work correctly.
In these 2 cases the role will keep working properly ( I mean restricting in the way that it uses to do).
1) In case field is copied to the Orglevel area after running the program and the value(s) will stay in both places (OrgLevel and Original place)
2) In case field is NOT copied to the Orglevel area after running the program but the value still in the original place .
right?
Thanks

Will new backups erase previously backed up files and pictures on icloud?

I have backed up my iPhone to iCloud's. If I erase my camera roll so I can have room to take more pictures, will the next time I back up my phone erase previously backed up pictures that's already on icloud? Or will it just add new pictures to icloud?

As you say, effectively,"the backup simply replaces the previous backed up info to iCloud".
If you want to permanently save your photo use a cloud-based service like DropBox. The photos will be saved and accessible.

New Apple Java update breaks jnlp file association

I thought this might be helpful for other people experiencing this problem.
It seems that the latest Java update for Macs (10.5 update 4) breaks the file association for jnlp files. When you use one it opens up a text editor. To make matters worse they have moved the location of Web Start.
The only way we have been able to fix this is:
1. Control-click the jnlp file that was downloaded to the desktop and select Get Info
2. Click Open with and select Other.
3. At the top of the window select All Applications in the Enable box.
4. Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices and select Java Web Start.
5. Click the Always Open With checkbox at the bottom.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Double-click the jnlp file on the desktop which should now launch the workbook.
If anyone else has some more information or another solution, then please reply here.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't find this post the first time I searched on this problem, and I was mired down in versions-specific directories with javaws--which appears only as a link that cannot be used as an association.
MUCH appreciated!

Cretaing a new adapter using the existing file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a new adapter type copying the existing file adapter. That is I want to create a new adapter type for example "FNFS" and use the same module callsapadapter which is used in the File adapter. So that this new adapter type "FNFS" functions like the File adapter,
What are the actions I need to perform to acheive this.
Thanks in advance.

what will be the significance of that?
I think if you need some extra functionality then Development of Custom Module is enough.

New apple tv and iphoto slideshows

does anyone know if the new apple tv can stream existing iphoto slideshows as they appear in iphoto? the old one sort of did for a while then lost the feature. thanks

Hi Winston,
I'm on the road right now and only have my (gasp) windows laptop with me. I'll be back home on the weekend and I'll try to describe it then.
I'm an old iMovie fan, I bought a iMac SE partly because it came with iMovie (ver 1). My complaint is the pictures are much "softer" in iMovie and I assume that is as a result of the rendering of the still picture to video. I wouldn't mind a primer from someone on how they use iMovie to make a slideshow from photos and music to get the best possible results. My old 50" Sony TV only goes to 720P (which is the best Apple TV can provide anyway) but like I said the photos themselves look stunning but the music doesn't sync right when I use iPhoto slideshow on apple TV.
I love the simplicity and short time needed to create a slideshow in iPhoto, and would prefer a solution using it instead of iMovie.
Any and all tips hints are welcome.
Thanks Again,
Old Fogie

Will Time Machine delete existing files on hard drive

A coworker is running OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro, and the computer is running very slow. I told her she should back up all her files with Time Machine, wipe her drive, upgrade to 10.10 and reimport all her files once that's done and see how things run then.
The problem is her existing hard drive has a lot of files on it already, that she doesn't want to risk losing.
So if I back up her hard drive with Time Machine to this hard drive, will it automatically erase all the existing files on the hard drive? Or can the Time Machine back up coexist with those existing files?

If the drive's already formatted as Mac OS Extended or Xsan, the files will remain as is. If not, they'll be erased.
In any case, all of the files you want to keep should be on at least two drives so that they won't be lost in the event that one of them fails.

How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objec

Hi,
I've got a problem in my app.
Namely, my app stores data as objects written to the files. Everything is OK, when I write some data (objects of a class defined by me) to the file (by using writeObject method from ObjectOutputStream) and then I'm reading it sequencially by the corresponding readObject method (from ObjectInputStream).
Problems start when I add new objects to the already existing file (to the end of this file). Then, when I'm trying to read newly written data, I get an exception:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(Unknown Source)
Is there any method to avoid corrupting the stream? Maybe it is a silly problem, but I really can't cope with it! How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objects?
If anyone of you know something about this issue, please help!
Jai

Here is a piece of sample codes. You can save the bytes read from the object by invoking save(byte[] b), and load the last inserted object by invoking load.

Is there any impact if the files in the Log/ Cache folder are deleted?

Dear All,
We are working on BODS v4.1 SP2 and it looks like some log files in the application server are taking about 30GB of space.
The folder path on the server is
Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\Log\Cache
and the 4 files are named
PPF_file_21_116_56_1761_1_0_21
PPF_file_21_116_56_1761_1_1_21
PPF_file_21_116_56_1761_1_2_21
PPF_file_21_116_56_1761_1_3_21
Will there be any impact if these files are deleted from the above folder? Anybody has come across this issue before?
Thank you!
Sriram.

Hi Sriram,
Log files are generally .txt which won't occupy much space. But .dmp files occupy huge amount of space and is better to remove it once in a while. Both log and dmp files can be removed to free the disk space. The files in pcache folder are used while running the job because your jobs are executed with pageable cache and not in-memory, hence those files are needed while running the job.

Adding a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records will impact anything in production?

Hi Guys,
I have to add a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records and would like to know the impact?
I have been tolled by one of my colleagues that last time they tried adding a column to same table during working hour and it locked out the table and impacted the users.
Please suggest/share If any one had similar experience.
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

If you add a new column to a table using an ALTER TABLE ADD command and specify that the new column allows NULLs and you do not define a default value, then it will take a table lock. However, once it gets the table lock, it will essentially run instantly
and then free the table lock. That will add this new column as the last column in the table, for example
ALTER MyTable ADD MyNewColumn bigint NULL;
But if you your change adds a new column with a default value, or you do something like using table designer to add the new column in the middle of the current list of columns, then SQL will have to rewrite the table. So it will get a table lock, rewrite
the whole table and then free the table lock. That will take a considerable amount of time and the table lock will be held for that whole period of time.
But, no matter how you make the change, if at all possible, I would not alter a table schema on a production database during working hours. Do it when nothing else is going on.

How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

Hello
Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
My dilemma:
I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address - I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
So what have I tried?:
I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
Concerns:
I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
So:
... I need a knight (or maiden) in shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
Thanking you kindly in advance!
PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right - we shall begin:
First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
So...
1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input) go for the free iCloud option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
4) So - much better option....
i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
Enjoy.

If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, Will I lose my purchases and data?

If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, my books, songs, docs and all the data that my old Apple ID contained including my purchased Apps will appear in my new Apple ID and its associated Icloud?
I want to create a new Apple ID but do not lose my data and purchases, How could I do it?

Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

I'm considering on making a new Apple ID as I currently share one. If I create a new one, will my Apple devices be wiped of content?

I share an Apple ID at the moment. I am considering making a new one for services such as iMessage and Facetime. If I create a new Apple ID will my Apple devices (iPhone, iPod Touch) be all wiped of my content? I know music and other iTunes content is tied to my old iTunes and that will be gone, but will my photos and text messages and apps be deleted as I would be using a new ID?

Nothing will be gone or wiped. Yes, your purchases remain tied to the existing AppleID, but you can create as many new AppleIDs as you wish (or at least, as you have email addresses for) and use a different one for each apple service.
So you can continue to use the current AppleID for the iTunes and App store, and create a new one for iCloud and iMessage (or even use a third one for iMessage if you wish to).
That is probably the optimal thing for a family or spouses - one shared AppleID for purchased content, separate AppleID(s) for iCloud/iMessage and other services (like these very forums).
