Locking Settings from users....

Is there no way to lock the settings? Really? I can't hand the ipad to a somebody and prevent them from noodling?
I don't want to have a passcode on the device, just on the settings....any way to do it?
thanks.

Not that I know of... I don't see an app from the app store that can lock the settings for the iPad. I have to admit this would be a nice thing to be able to do.
You can send a request to Apple as a feedback for future OS updates.

  • BI Scheduler - remove Telephone Settings from users

    Hi
    I upgrade to obiee 11.1.1.6.2 BP1. In 10G I set up system subject area to set a mail address in all profiles of my users.
    In 11G I kept the system subject area but I'm not sure if it's really getting the details from there. I also configured AD-Authentication and assume that the user-settings are from that source.
    My problem is now that all users have a mail and a telephone set in their profile, this because it seems that it gets the data from active directory. What I want is to use the mail address but to disable the telephones.
    Does anybody has an idea where I can influence the whole configuration?
    Thank you
    Regards

    Ok, let me try to be clearer. At log in, I only want my name (backfilled) and my password (to be entered). As it is now, hen I log in, I have one account with my name (backfilled) and a filed to enter my password + an :other account", If I click the "other account", I have to enter a name and password (that I do not know). I want to remove this "other account" from log in. Thanks, Ch.

  • Proxy settings moved from User to Machine not removing user settings.

    Hi All,
    I have recently moved our company's proxy settings from User based to Machine based as we were having issues after moving from an internal proxy to a hosted external proxy.  What we found was after turning off the internal some users were no longer
    getting external internet. 
    After some investigation we found they were still getting old proxy settings on login and after a GPupdate.exe or normal gpupdate from the server the correct settings would apply. (happened to users logging on for the 1st time) To prevent this from happening
    I moved the proxy settings to the Computer GPO and it all appeared to work in the test GPO and in live.  But a few days later we got some calls logged to our help desk stating they don't get external internet.  After some more
    investigation we found that they are still getting the user policy applied to them even though it has all been removed from the User GPO. 
    I found if I remove the proxy settings it doesn't always apply to users but if I add info in it always updates to the user.  What can be causing this?  Some of these users have local admin rights and I thought at first it might be something they
    did but now we are getting non admin users with these issues.
    We are using IE 10 and have set the original Proxy settings using the GUI internet control panel and are now applying the proxy settings via Registry updates in the Computer GPO and enabled "Make Proxy settings per-machine" object.  Our SOE
    is Win 7 ent x64 with IE 10 (1500 units) and Win 8.1 ent x64 IE11 (100 units) And some XP SP3 that are in the process of migrating to Win7.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Nat

    Hi Nat,
    you wrote: I found if I remove the proxy settings it doesn't always apply to users but if I add info in it always updates to the user. 
    Does that also happen für new users now after you changed your settings to the computer settings?
    I guess you used group policy preferences; that worked as "one time settings", so as long as the policy exists it will be merged with the Settings on the users computer. Please find a detailed description on
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn581922.aspx
    So you now have 2 configuration items: your policy as well as the users registry. So to remove that you already moved the Settings from the user configuration to your Computers configuration (that worked as you described) while the Settings
    in their HKCU are still there - you Need to either implement another  policy to remove that, or you can set it empty.
    Don't set it to "not configured" as that will keep your old setting deployed before.
    Sometimes I found in more easy to implement another user preference that removed the Registry key with the Registry keys to remove a Setting instead of Publishing a "remove Setting" configuration.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • Can i copy my settings from one mac to another?

    Hi
    Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
    I need the settings for
    System (view, font, color,)
    Finder (view, etc)
    iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
    Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Address Book (contacts)
    Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
    Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
    Filezilla (FTP infos)
    Would appreciate.
    Thnx.

    All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5.  let us know if you need more help.  Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
    Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder.  Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

  • How to transfer user settings from one account to another (on the same Mac)

    I'd like to create separate user accounts for "work" and "play" (so that I can do things like have separate address books, etc...). However, I already have LOTS of personalized settings (trackpad behavior, login items, etc) that I'd like to keep the same between the two accounts.
    Is there a way to transfer all of the user settings from one account to another?

    You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
    sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
    sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
    sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

  • Can I copy my apps/user settings from one drive/OS to another?

    I have one drive of my system with 10.3.9, that I've been using for quite awhile, with all my apps, preferences, registrations etc.
    I just installed a clean install of 10.4.3 on another drive.
    Is there away to clone/copy all my user settings from the 10.3.9 drive to the 10.4.3 drive, so that it behaves the same way?
    I didn't want to user the "transfer user settings" when I installed 10.4, because I need to keep the 10.3.9 system exactly as is.

    Just erase the hard drive first. Here's the basic cloning process using Disk Utility:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
    5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Check the box to Erase Destination.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    If you prefer to keep your Panther system, then clone it to the new drive and update the new drive to Tiger. If you want both drives to have Tiger installed, then upgrade the Panther system to Tiger, then clone it to the new drive.
    If you'd rather see how it goes using Migration Assistant, then by all means give it a try. Worst thing that can happen is you end up doing it my way. If Migration Assistant works properly you'll save some time and effort.

  • Migrating User Settings from one local user to another

    I have an iMac running 10.5.4 with some issues (Parallels hanging at random moments). One of the tests I did to troubleshoot it was create a new user profile, and run the same (shared) Parallels machine as that new user, which seemed to fix the problem.
    I would like to being gradually copying over user preferences & data from the old account to the new one, bit by bit, so that if one of those items is causing the problem with Parallels, we can catch it.
    Is there a preferred way to copy or move over user settings from one local account to another on the same Mac? Basic files like Documents, etc. I know I can just drop into the Shared folder, but I am more concerned with Preferences, apps that use databases to point to files (like iTunes), and permissions.
    Thank you!

    V.K. (and anyone else who cares) - I finally figured out the problem: the mount point for the volume containing my Home directory ("Data") was changed by the system, but only on my primary startup volume ("System")... so when I booted from SystemClone everything was okay... but when I booted from System I had no account, no preferences, no nothing. Because the visible label on the volume containing Home was correct (even though the actual name - the mount point - was different), regardless of whether I booted from System or SystemClone, I assumed everything here was in order.
    Bottom line: when booting from System, my Data volume's visible label read "Data" .. the path to Home directory under the account's advanced settings read "/volumes/data/directoryName" ... but my Data volume's mount point read "Data 1" .. when booting from SystemClone, my Data volume's visible label read "Data" .. the path to Home directory under the account's advanced settings read "/volumes/data/directoryName" ... and my Data volume's mount point read "Data" (so everything worked).
    Lesson learned: don't assume.. check the mount point reference using Disk Utility.
    Approach validated: if I didn't have a bootable SystemClone, I would have never been able to figure this out, and repair everything without rebuilding.

  • RECOVERING USER SETTINGS FROM PREVIOUS SYSTEM

    I had problems with my HD and I had to re-install the system. I had to create a new user account to do that, now... how do I get back my user settings from the previous system??? like my email, keyboard sortcuts... etc.....????
    I see my previous system folder with the info but... what do i do with it??
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

    Create another admin account using the same username/password combo used on the original one, Log into it, drag your stuff from the Previous System folder, replacing the new stuff, open Accounts, and delete the user your created when reinstalling.
    BTW, typing in all caps is considered shouting and bad netetiquette, so please, stop doing that.

  • Importing User settings from one CC user into another

    Hi There,
    I want to import user settings from one account, then use those as a base to setup user setting for another. IE I want to use my settings from work [which I did not pay for] and use that as a starting point for my personal user account at my home office [which I did pay for].
    I'm concerned about messing up my work settings + at home I'm on a laptop, not a 2 display tower.
    Specificaly, its the custom keyboard, sequence and output, and loging colums/metadata display settings that I'd love not to have to setup from scratch, again.
    Also, I have co workers who prefer my settings and I'd like to share these with them- but don't want them to be signed in as me, and messing me up accidentaly.
    Many Thanks
    David

    OK so this does not work. I'm running CC, on OSX 10.8.3.
    For those that don't know, in order to reveal the library folder in OSX 10.7+, you need to either enter this into terminal:
    Permanent Reveal:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Permanent Hide:
    chflags hidden ~/Library
    Or hold down option key + finder/go, for temporary reveal.
    So after doing this, and coying over the directories Jax mentioned [+ '7.0' folders, as I'm in CC], I'm still not getting the keyboard mappings, just the defaults.
    I've just synced with my work account, and brought up another issue: My scratch disks and media paths are all different on my home office, and I don't want to have to reset those everytime I switch from one location to another.
    If I could get what Jax sudgested to work, that would be an exelent work arround for this situation. Otherwise its a feature request for managing syncing between multiple accounts...
    Thanks again Jax for tyring to help

  • Question to Transferring Global Settings from Source Systems

    1) When we do this steps, we found the following information as follows, so the question is that which fields that we should maintain?
    BW User ALE
    Debugging User
    BEx order number
    Releasest. hier
    Monitor initial
    Last IDoc no.
    Last IS-Nr.
    XPRA executed
    Lock Mangr Logs
    MD: Sing. Rec. Inst
    RFC BI Accelerator
    2) If we maintain some of fields should we do something before, and how? e.g. we know BW user ALE = aleremote, so should we maintain aleremote user using SU01 both in R/3 and BW before we do Transferring Global Settings from Source Systems
    Thanks for the answer.

    Is anyone know how to setting Transferring Global Settings from Source Systems, your answer will be high appreciate.

  • Windows 7 PC locking out domain user in Windows Server 2008r2 domain

    I have reviewed dozens of related questions, but none have given me an answer that works on this situation. 
    We replaced an XP desktop with a Windows 7 desktop.  It keeps locking out just user(of over 25 migrated).  I have disabled the Windows 7 credentials, made sure the patches were in place, there are no other devices-wireless or otherwise. 
    The users pc has a kvm attached for another system, we have a Windows 2008r2 server.  The user does not save any passwords, I have make changes recommended in the registry.  They do have a couple mapped drives.  Logs show that it is the users
    pc that is causing the lockout, but much of the users time they are on the other system.  We have 4 other users that have the exact same setup but are not having any issues.  It happens several times a day and I must unlock their password on the
    ad.  Sometimes if we wait 45 min or so it will unlock itself.  Strange considering settings lockout user after 5 bad passwords and lock them out for 120 minutes.
    I have tried virtually everything I have read relating to this issue in Win7, 2008r2.
    User is getting frustrated and so am I!.
    Thank you.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,
    Doug

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps
