Impact of changing iTunes ID

When I do CMD-I on an item in my iTunes library, I notice that my Apple ID ([email protected]) appears to be embedded in the tag data for the item. If I change my Apple ID to [email protected], what is the impact on the items that I already have purchased from the iTunes store? Will my movie, TV and music content still be playable? Wiil I still be able to download free updates of apps and iBooks?
I am running OS X Mavericks and iOS 7.
Thanks

Nick,
Thanks. As all I did was enter my current iTunes account and change the settings for email, so I now login with the new Gmail email address instead of the old one ... so based on what you wrote, it should be business as usual, I all iPad Apps I previously purchased will now be associated with the new Gmail email ID.
Many thanks!

How To: Change iTunes media library location/folder

*PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS PROCESS. IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, BUT IT IS FAIRLY INVOLVED AND ENTAILS SOME RISK. THERE ARE SOME WARNINGS AT THE END.*
||
REQUIREMENT
Move iTunes media (music, videos, podcasts) to another folder and update the iTunes library to reference all the media from that new folder.
||
Example cases: Move iTunes media from C:\ drive to D:\ drive; Change iTunes folder name from Music to Media.
||
Note:
Special action is only necessary if the +Keep iTunes Media folder organized+ option is not selected. If this option is selected, iTunes will move media to the new location when the +iTunes Media folder location+ is changed. More info can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
||
||
PROBLEM
When the location of iTunes media files changes (files are moved, folder name/drive letter changes), iTunes cannot automatically locate these files. iTunes entries can be updated to point to the new location one at a time or by deleting all entries and re-adding all files. Updating one at a time is time consuming, and deleting and re-adding causes a large amount of metadata (play count, date added, rating, etc) to be lost.
||
||
SOLUTION
The iTunes library can be exported to an XML file, modified, and re-imported.
||
Process:
- *Backup the iTunes library data:* Make sure iTunes is closed, and then backup the folder containing all the iTunes library data. This can normally be found in +<user-folder>\My Music\iTunes+ for Windows, or in /Users/<username>/Music/iTunes for Mac. The +iTunes Media+ and +Mobile Applications+ folders can be excluded from the backup since they will not be affected by this process. If this process does not work for some reason and you need to restore the previous state of your iTunes library, you’ll need to use this backup as the source for restoring.
- *Move iTunes media files to new location:* This may be changing which drive is used to store iTunes media files, renaming a folder, or whatever. This can be done for the whole library or for only part of it.
- *Export the iTunes library:* In iTunes, select File -> Library -> Export Library... and save the file somewhere for editing (Desktop is a good location).
- *Open Library.xml in a decent text editor:* Notepad is not recommended, since Library.xml can be very large. Some free options include PSPad, Notepad++, Smultron, and Text Wrangler.
- *Update Library.xml:* Locate the files that have changed location and update their path accordingly. The XML file has the metadata for each file labeled with XML tags. The file location is denoted by <key>Location</key>. If the whole library is being moved, a find/replace on the whole file is recommended. Once a file is located in Library.xml that needs to be updated, copy the part of the string that has changed starting with <key>Location</key>. Use that as the find parameter, and enter the replace parameter in the same format. Include as much of the string as possible to prevent unintentional replaces. Save and close the file when done.
- - - Example: Find: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Data/iTunes/
Replace: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/D:/Data/iTunes/
- - - Note 1: This step may require adjustment to match your situation. You may want to count how many files need to be updated and make sure that the find/replace only changes that many or edit them by hand if the location of all files have not been changed. It shouldn’t be difficult, but it may require some thought.
- - - Note 2: Music, TV Shows, Movies, and Podcasts are stored in this file, so make sure to account for all media types. If the location of all types didn’t change, the find/replace strings will need to take that into account.
- *Remove all modified media entries from iTunes:* For any of the files that are being moved, the associated metadata must be removed from iTunes to avoid having duplicates in iTunes. This can be done by selecting all entries in iTunes that will be modified, right-clicking the entries, and choosing “Delete”. After confirming that you want to remove the selected item from your iTunes library, make sure to choose to keep the file in the iTunes Media folder if prompted.
- *Import Library.xml:* Import the modified Library.xml by selecting File -> Library -> Import Playlist... and selecting the modified Library.xml in the file open dialog that appears. Depending on the size of the iTunes Library, this could take a while (10 minutes or more).
- *Test results:* Locate a file in iTunes that has been moved, right-click on the file, and choose “Get Info”. The “Location:” field should indicate the new location of the file. Close the Info dialog and try to play the file. If the file plays, the process was successful.

_*DISCLAIMERS/ADDITIONAL NOTES*_
- I tried this out a couple of times, and it worked fine for me. I can’t guarantee it will work for everyone, but I thought I’d share since I couldn’t find instructions for this situation anywhere else.
- If the process fails, you SHOULD be able move the iTunes media files back to their old location and restore the backed up iTunes library data to the iTunes folder to restore your previous configuration.
- I wouldn’t recommend attempting this if you don’t feel comfortable with backing up your iTunes library data and editing the XML file.
- I don’t know if this process will preserve whether videos and podcasts have been played or if it will preserve the play position where items were last paused.
- If you are moving all of your iTunes media files, you’ll want to update the “iTunes Media folder location” under the “Advanced” tab in preferences. This appears to be the folder that iTunes will use for some of its basic operations, such as storing synced audio notes, Podcasts, and the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder.
- This process duplicates playlists, probably because you are importing your entire library again. I just deleted the duplicates when I was done.

If all the media is on one drive and you're not letting iTunes manage it then you can achieve the "portable" status simply by moving the library files high enough up the tree, i.e. the root of the drive if necessary, letting iTunes know where the nominal iTunes media folder is and then moving the library to the new drive keeping the relative paths from the library files to each distinct set of media folders unchanged. Personally I don't like iTunes cutting my file & folder names short, but the advantages of a portable library mean that I'm quite happy to organise my media inside the iTunes Media folder, albeit largly on my own terms. Indeed all my non-iTunes multimedia is now also organised in the same folders. The only media files iTunes organises, temporarlily, are rips & downloads apart from active Podcasts whose folder names I leave unchanged. Everything else gets sorted just the way I want it - full length filenames, different character replacements, folder art etc. I used to do it by hand, deleting, tweaking & reimporting, but these days I use a custom script which does it all automatically - renaming files just as I want and reconnecting iTunes to the newly moved file so that no iTunes-only metadata is lost.
There are similar XML-editing how-tos elsewhere on the web, I just wanted to make the point that there may still sometimes be a way to achieve the desired result which isn't quite as complicated but nevertheless leaves the user fully in control of their file structure.
Anyway, at least you took the trouble to find a method that works for you first. There are sadly too many tales of woe on these boards from people who've moved all their files around first only to discover that they've broken their libraries and can't work out how to undo the damage.

Impact of changing/enhance an existing master data object

Hi Experts,
I have a new requirement to enhance 0comp_code in order to add 2 extra fields in the master data.
As 0comp_code is an infoobject used in lots of cubes, I would like to know which is the impact of changing it.
Which actions should I take into account before doing any changes.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are adding any new fields to infoobject, you will not have any impact to existing info providers which uses that infoobject.
If the attr u add is a navigational attr and if you want ur info provider to have it, then you will have to enable it and activate the info provider and the update rule as well.
is your data source modified to bring in those new fields? or is it going to be manually maintained?
Regards,

MSEH6 - Technical: Where it is used? What is the impact of changing it?
MSEHT - Measuremt unit text: Where it is used? What is the impact of changing it?

In T006d is it possible to change the Time and Temperature Dependency of a used Dimension? What is the impact of this action?
Thank you

Reports such as financial statements, tax reports, GL balances may not reflect previous period balances correctly when you give single business area. You need to workaround to get correct balances.
With respect to current balances it will not be a problem, as you might be transferring balances in various accounts of discontinued business areas to presently used business area.

What would be the impact of changing Enterprise and Domain admin password

Hello,
I'm planning to change the Enterprise/Domain Admin's password for some security reasons. I do not know what all will fail, what are all the process is going to be impacted. Actually I don't want to see the bigger impact after changing
the password.
I've gone thru' few articles but it's in Powershell where I have the limited knowledge & can't customize the script.
Is there a tool or a way to scan the LAN/Servers and get a clear output where these users accounts (Domain & Enterprise Admin) being used, especially windows services wise, and all other dependencies?
Can anybody help?
Regards,
MSK

Hello
As far as I have experienced by changing the enterprise admin password there will be no impact on the environment, not event on
Services.msc console. But resetting an account is a different story. If you change the user account, services which relies on the user will be updated automatically but by resetting the password you have to manually enter the password on each
service.
Also I am thinking about if you use remote desktop with saved credentials to connect to DC's as enterprise admin, you may experience account lockout problems. So wise move is to create another account as member of enterprise admins group and keep it safe
with a strong password and save it for a rainy day. In that case if the original enterprise admin locked out due to incorrect logons you have a gold key to overcome the situation.

What's Impact of changing the customer Name(along with Bill To and Ship To) at the header level after book

Dear All,
Revision: 11.5.10.2
We have a case where some of the orders we have created have incorrect customer name along with incorrect Bill To Ship To.
All these orders are booked. And their Line Status is either Awaiting Shipping or Supply Eligible.
What Impact of changing the customer Name(along with Bill To and Ship To) at the header level.
Thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen-Oracle
As said above there should not be an impact if the warehouse on the order before and after changing the customer, ship to and bill to remains same.
Additionally, if the item on-hand qty is sufficient to reserve the item and there is no B2B internal requisition kicked off.
As long as the above conditions are fine, I don't see any impact of changing the customer, bill to and ship to.
Also, you can run a complete wing to wing cycle in case you really want to test the behavior of the system in such scenario.
Please feel free to mark the response as helpful or correct if you think it is helpful and to help people easily find help and answered responses.

Impact of changing positions and Org Unit short text

Hi All..
This is regarding the impact of changing positions and Org Unit short text(SAP name - Object Abbreviation, technical field u2013 hrp1000-short).The new approach we are ging to have is to keep short text same across the business unit.
Example:
All position in US will have short text u2013 USS
Similarly All US Org Unit short text will be COMUS
I was wondering, from SAP best practices point of view, do you see any downside in this approach?
Example: Any problem in searching position or org using search term.
Please pin your thoughts...
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
Normally such change will not have any impact in PA module.
Only in exceptional cases it will have an impact in following cases:
1. First and mandatory condition that you use abbreviation as position name in IT 0001. If this is the case parameter PLOGI TEXTC (in table T77S0) should be equal X.
2. Second condition is that parameter PLOGI SPLIT is equal to X. That means that change of object name will lead to record split in IT 0001 in PA.
So if in table T77S0 you don't have setting PLOGI TEXTC = X and PLOGI SPLIT = X you can go ahead with change of positions abbreviations. It will have no impact on other modules.
Cheers!

What are the impacts of changing material group of a Material ?

Hi,
Could some one tell me in detail about the impacts of changing material group of a material that is active in procrement?
Thanks,
Veera

Hi,
If you are changing it from one valid group to another valid group and both will still be there afterwards, then the impact is small, but important.
The data in the Info systems and BW etc. will have been updated with the the "old" material group and so if you tried to compare them you would find differences.
It is something that does happen from time to time and as long as the two groups will still be ther afterwards there should be no reason why this would cause any technical or system problems. The effect is purely on the historic data.
I have seen this done several times in many implementations and so far it has not caused any major problems apart from some reports "appearing" wrong if you compare them against other reports that involve historical movements.
