Is there a way to create a user account that "expires", or self deletes itself after a set amount of time?

I am hoping to find a way to create an Admin account for our parent body that can be used for items at home, "adding printers, software, wireless settings, etc...), but have that account either "expire" or self delete itself after say 72 hours?
Thoughts?
Jesse

Will they be needing to keep files saved for a while? I'm guessing no, since you're ok with it auto-deleting after a short while.
You could just use the guest user: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
But I'm not aware of any way that you could setup an account to expire.

Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

Hello Nunhum,
I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events

Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events from a subscribed calendar ? Mobile Me is great but my most important Calendar is technically in the "Subscriptions" category so it doesn't get pushed to me iPhone. I want to create a new Calendar and have it just automatically copy all the events from the subscribed calendar and keep up to date with that one.

lincolnroadjeff,
I subscribed to a Holiday calendar that I also wanted to be published, and the only workaround that I found was to export the calendar, delete the subscription, and then import the calendar.
This obviously will only work with a subscription that is not often updated/subject to change.

Is there a way to duplicate a User Account when setting up an iMac

I have a lab of 30 iMac computers. I am planning on imaging 29 of them from 1 master machine. In the process of setting this one machine up, I need to create 4 user accounts that will have identical settings, but will simply have different names. Each account is for a different period of the Intro to Video Class I teach. Instead of having to go through each User account and change each setting, can I create one profile and then make copies of this profile and rename it to the different class periods I teach. These User accounts are not administrator accounts. The will have limited access.

Thank you for your replies. I am setting up one machine perfectly, so that I can use that machine to image the other 29 machines. My issue is that in setting up the one perfect machine I need to create 6 different User Accounts on the machine. Four of the User Accounts are perfectly identical except for the name of the User Account. It takes a lot of time to set up the Dock and all the user preferences of each of these User Accounts. I am looking for a way to duplicate the User Accounts so that I can same some time. I want to create one user account, set it up with all the details and then duplicate it three more times.

Used Migration Assistant to import PC files. It created second user account that won't sync with iPad. How do I merge accounts?

Used Migration Assistant to import PC files. It created second user account that won't sync with iPad. How do I merge accounts?

It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed. There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

Is there a way to create a Smart Mailbox that shows Sent emails only?

Hi there,
I am trying to find a way to create a smart mailbox that only shows emails I have sent.
If I receive 20 emails today, 10 yesterday say, I have a Smart MB where I have set up emails received today, another SMB for emails received yesterday and another SMB for emails I've received in the past week. I can very easily see what has come in during the last few days or whatever.
What I also have are rules that move all emails received and sent to specific folders. The idea is that I will have nothing in my INBOX. The problem is that although it's easy to set up views to see what emails I've received on any day using the calendar option, I can't see a way of doing this to see what emails I've sent.
So, if I receive 20 emails today and I replied to 3 of them, those 3 will get sent to whatever folder I've allocated for them - I put all emails TO/FROM in one folder for each email address. This way I don't have 2 email folders TO and SENT for each recipient.
My problem is that I want to ONLY look at what I've sent today or maybe yesterday etc. if I can set things up the same way as receiving emails, But I can't seem to do this.
Seems strange that there are options to see filter out what's coming in but not what is being sent! But if there's a way to do this, it would be appreciated.
Regards,
Maz

Mail creates a Sent mail folder automatically when you set up an account. All your sent mails are kept there. You configure how it saves your sent mail here:
You should see the mailbox in Mail's sidebar:

Is there a way to create a math.random that doesn't overlap movieclips?

Hi,
Actually I have two questions. I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
Thanks,
OJ

sure.
1. the easiest way to position objects without over-lapping, IF you can assume it will always be possible, is to use something like:
var mcA:Array=[your movieclips]
var index:uint=0;
positionF();
function positionF(){
// assuming top-left reg points of your movieclips
mcA[index].x=Math.random()*(stage.stageWidth-mcA[index].width);
mcA[index].y=Math.random()*(stage.stageHeight-mcA[index].height);
var hitBool:Boolean=false;
for(var i:int=0;i<index-1;i++){
if(mcA[index].hitTestObject(mcA[i])){
hitBool=true;
break;
if(hitBool){
positionF();
} else {
index++;
if(index<mcA.length){
positionF();
} else {
// positioning complete. do whatever
2. you can use the graphics class to draw dynamic lines.

Is there a way to create a file merge that updates from the original source file if changes are made?

I have thousands of PDF documents that are merged with other files. I'll give an example so it's easier to understand.
File #1 may be merged (or in a portfolio) with Files #2 and #3 but also in another merge (or portfolio) with Files #3 and #4.
If I update File #1, is there a way for it to automatically update both of the merge or portfolio files with the updated File #1? (File#1 would be replaced, same name and location).
I'm using windows and Adobe Acrobat Pro

You would need to add favorites to the WebHelp output prior to creating a CHM. You would need something along the lines of: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/favorites-widget-webhelp
But since it's in a CHM, I'm not sure whether you will be able to save anything from the webhelp output between sessions.
Kind regards,

I bought my kids an itouch...however, it snyced to my account. Is there a way to create a separate account from them and remove all of my information from the touch?

if i give my itouch to my son, how can i start from scratch with none of my info on it? Additionally, i would like for him to have his own account but he isn't old enoughby apple's rules, is there a way for him to have a sub account from mine?

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Is there a way to create a smart playlist that lists my top 25 plays from a specific time period (i.e. - top plays from the last 90 days)?

Is it possible to create an itunes smart playlist that lists my top 25 most played songs in a specific time period (i.e. - the last 90 days)? It seems that any "most played" list I create counts every spin a track has had in it's history of being in my library.

The challenge is is not to determine which of the tracks that have been played in the last X days has been played most since the beginning of time, but which have been played most in the last X days. iTunes can do the first one but it simply doesn't have the power to do the second.

Any way to recover a user account that was deleted?

I probably know the answer to this but I screwed up and deleted a user account with settings, documents, applications migrated from one Mac to another. I had two user accounts for my wife and when I deleted the one which I shouldn't have deleted she lost her iPhoto pics. Any chance that account is buried somewhere deep in my Macbook?

The files are still on the drive in the form of 1's and 0's, but the "directions" to them have been changed so the next time the computer writes data it can likely overwrite part or all of the deleted files.
So you can't boot that machine or download anything to it less you risk overwriting files.
So, what can be done?
Use one Mac to another using Firewire Target Disk Mode and running a $99 DataRescue to scan the drive and output the files it finds to another hard drive.
This way one can pick through the files recovered and find what your looking for.
Luckily Pictures are rather easy to find, it's text files that are a pain..
Another option is to install OS X on a external drive and then use that to Data Rescue the target drive.
I've covered it all here,
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3172
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
Once the files are recovered you can recreate the account and do your best to get it back to somewhat.
