I requested a wipe on April 19 for the computer I've been using since I recovered it mid-May.

I thought my computer was stolen on April 19.  Mid-may it turned up in my roommate's desk.  Yes, weird, I know...but that's not the point here.  I requested a full wipe of the computer on April 19, assuming the moment I connected it to the internet it'd be completely wiped.  When I recovered it, I didn't connect it to the internet until I fully backed it up.  I connected to the internet and it wasn't wiped.  It hasn't been wiped in ~three months.  I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and the iCloud option for Find my Mac isn't checked.  If I do check it will it wipe my computer?  Is there any way to avoid this?  I can provide proof this really is my computer!  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to me, Foxymary.
A computer friend of mine told me to press on the "maximise" icon up the top corner of the screen - he said the computer should then memorise this setting, stopping it from reducing the page size.
Let's see now if he's right!
Thanks again,
Barry

    Sorry.
    The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
    You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

  • Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off

    I am on Oracle 11.1.1.7 BPM suite on W8 64 bit. I can't launch the flow trace and get the error "Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off".  I have set the audit level to development at the soa-infra>SOA Administration> Common Properties > Audit level set to development and Capture Composite Instance State is Checked.
    Can somebody advice.
    Thanks

    Can you please confirm me the following steps...
    Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
    Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.
    Thanks,

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

  • Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working.  The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks.  I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

    The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work.  The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display.  Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays.  The need for operating USB ports is essential.  Any ideas.  The display appears entirely normal.  Am running OS X 10.9.

    Disregard, problem solved.

  • How can I get INSTID_B for the documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality

    Dear experts,
    I had activated the functionality of Store Business document and successfully stored documents in external server.
    My client have a custom function module which is used to send emails.In that FM they used SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function modules.They passed Instance Ident(SRGBTBREL->INSTID_B)(eg: FOL33000000000004EXT39000000000026) as export parameter to the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' and get the attachment details and content.
    Here my problem is I do not have entries in the table SRGBTBREL for the documents which are stored using the Store Business Document functionality and without INSTID_B I am unable to use the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' to get the document details and content. Please help me to find INSTID_B for documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality or please let me know if there is any other way to use FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' for documents which are stored using Store Business Document.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kiran,
    You can use the following method to get the information. For example if you want to get BO documents for a customer
    CALL METHOD cl_binary_relation=>read_links
       EXPORTING
         is_object           = ls_lpor
         it_relation_options = lt_relat
       IMPORTING
         et_links            = lt_links.
    then fill  ls_por-instid with a customer number (KUNNR), ls_por-typeid = 'KNA1' and ls_por-catid = 'BO'.
    Table  lt_relat should contain a line option  for each document type (for example 'I' 'EQ' 'NOTE', 'I' EQ 'ATTA', 'I' EQ 'URL', ...
    In table lt_links you will get your information.
    Maybe some other methods of class CL_BINARY_RELATION may also solve your issue.
    Regards,
    Klaus

  • Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening..  Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired,  or i need to use a serial number... H

    Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening..  Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired,  or i need to use a serial number... HELP Anyone else experienced this?

    If there is an option to "license this software", and it takes you to a sign-in page with username and password (not a serial number) - then just go ahead and sign in.
    If it insists on a serial number you need to uninstall the trial. Then try to download again.

  • I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

  • The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

    I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
    I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
    I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

    I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
    After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

    i have a wd my passport which for the last year i was using with my windows pc...but recently i bought a macbook and was trying too put files on it but it wouldnt work....please help!!!

    Hi
    You need to find the format of the drive by looking at its info, my guess would be you are currently in NTFS (windows only) mac can use any mac os journaled or non journaled, or you can use fat32 which is usable on both pc and mac but is unable to move files over 4GB so no good for large file transfers. You will need to re format at some point but this will delete everything currently on the drive.
    Hope this helps

  • I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    Indeed :-)
    This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
    That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
    Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
    A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."
