Many Migrated Account Issues - What to do?

Hi All
I recently migrated an account from an old G4 iBook running Leopard to a newish MacBook Pro running Lion, and we are noticing lots of minor issues with frequently used application, such s Stickies & Safari, whereby those applications are not remembering their settiings.
For example, Safari will not remember new bookmarks that are added - if we add a new book mark & then quit Safari, the new bookmark is gone when we re-open Safari.
Stickies will forget all the stickies that are created for it everytime, so that each time we open that application it is as though it is the first time it's opened.
We have the above as well as not being able to use that users Drop Box, which I have detailed here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4098234
I gather they must al be related, and I figured a permissions fix via Disk Utility would do the trick, but this has not worked.
Any ideas how to get things running smoothly again?
Many thanks iin advance,
Greg

Also forgot to say that items added to iCal will not sync to the users iPhone, although updates made on the iPhone will sync to iCal.
I guess this is the tip of the iceberg & we'll find more issues as we continue using the machine.

I have an iphone 4 that says i have too many free accounts on icloud. Ive never had an account. What should i do?

You can only set up a limited number of new iCloud accounts per device. Is it possible that someone else created these accounts? Is it a second-hand device? In this case you will have to use an other device if you want to create a new iCloud account.

To repeat my question, Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is going on?
Everywhere I search on Apple's Support site says to sign in to iCloud using your "Apple ID," which I did. I've had my iTunes account for years (even migrated from the old AOL account system). It's the standard email+password that everyone is supposed to use.
My main question is how can I have a valid Apple ID and not an iCloud account--if the two are supposed to be linked?
Thank you for any help you can give me!

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Apparently some people have issues, but I don't think it is across the board. Here's a link to another recent posting that may or may not prove helpful to you...

Organzing & setup for many email accounts

Hi,
I run a number of websites/domains and each has a number of email accounts that I need to adminster. In my last email client on a PC, I could create seperate "boxes" for each domain and then in each box, create as many email accounts and addresses as needed.
How can I do this with Mail without logging out and switching users? It seems like I can create as many seperate email accounts, but they're all lumped in together in one box. In other words, I don't want to check 32 email accounts when I'm just trying to check the 4 accounts for www.domain-x.com, and then afterward check for www.domain-z.com's accounts - without signing off.
Thanks a lot!

Note sure what G mail is, but if it involves another isp email provider not interested, I have multiple accounts as a garbage dump for spam possibilities too much spam on one account bye bye. Usually 2 main email accounts though. btw, not a memory issue either. still plenty left. Was looking at the contacts thread and there is receiving/sending issues with email since 2.0 update anyway.

How do I get Applemail to stop downloading duplicate messages. It only started doing this 4 months ago. It didn't happen for 5 years before and doesn't happen to my gmail account.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Trackpad won't scroll in migrated account

I'm having migration issues with a new MacBook Pro and an account migrated from a Powerbook G4 running OS 10.5.8. On the new computer, when I am in an account created for the new Macbook, the trackpad works as expected. When I am in the migrated account, the trackpad has only minimal functionality. Clicks work. Scrolling and gestures do not. As this is my main data account (and the other is just for trouble-shooting), it's a bummer not to have the full trackpad.
Some history. The old computer had SideTrack 1.6 installed to operate its trackpad with scrolling. It won't work on Lion, and I have uninstalled this and restarted after migration. Unfortunately, that didn't help. The only other non-apple System Preferences panes are Flip4Mac and Growl.
Any suggestions of what I might do to restore full trackpad functionality?

I browsed the SideTrack site but it offered little in terms of support. Sounds like there are still some remnants of SideTrack left that are interfering with the preferences. At least for scrolling, try this: Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > trackpad options.. button > Check scrolling.

When we purchase from iTunes the balance is not coming off of the gift cards. We have family sharing on but when my kids purchase songs they are credited to our credit card and not the gift card that is already in their account. What's wrong?

Sharing a folder between many user accounts on same computer

Desired Situation:
I would like Account A to be able to read/write the files Account B user put into the public folder.
The public folder has all the right permissions. What am I missing?

How many itunes accounts are allowed per computer?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle configuring all 80 of the iPads my business is purchasing. I know there is a limit of 10 devices per iTunes account. How many iTunes accounts are permitted per computer? I tried to just create 8 apple ids, which I was able to do online. But when I try to sign in to those on iTunes, once I get to the part where I verify with a credit card, I can not get past the 3rd one. I have previously signed in with 2 other accounts on my machine, so I'm wondering if there is a limit of 5 accounts per computer. Can anyone verify? If that's true, what suggestions do you have for how to get around or best manage this situation?
I'm not as much of a techie as I should be.. but thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi allisonwfrom nc,
The limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app.
There is a free OS X program called Apple Configurator that you can use to distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
There are a few things I recommend you do to get started:
First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
Apple Configurator Help Guide
http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
Hope this answers your question!

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

What is new Gl account?what is the purpose of using that New Gl?

Hi Kishore,
Let me clarify you. First it is not new GL account but the New GL functionality.
With the introduction of MySAP ERP 2004, SAP introduced also a new functionality with SAP Financials. This functionality is given the name New General Ledger Accounting, or NewGL.
The new GL functionality has many uses like
Supports different reporting purposes: Legal entity reporting, segment reporting, management reporting;
Option to expand standard accounting with industry specific fields and customer-defined fields;
There is a new standard field segment in mySAP ERP: A segment is typically derived from a profit center (PC); it can be filled manually or defaulted recommonded for segment reporting.
You can search the forum for more info on new GL

I have an issue. Recently I tried to authorize another card to pay my balance due and itunes would not authorize the card. Now that I am looking at my banking statement/ online banking it shows that multiple times the card was charged for the exact amount due ,21.02. but the payment already came out of my primary banking account, What do I do because I can not speak to a regular person since it is an Itunes account issue. I need some sort of help and I really want the funds refunded... I took screen shots proving all of this information.

How many symbolic accounts, I have to create and then assign them to res...

Hi friends,
I am in the BBP creation phase, I have created the list of wage types for my client, there are 41 wage types, now as far as posting to accounts is concerned, how many symbolic accounts, I have to create and then assign them to respective G/L accounts ?
Please throw some practical light on this, I know all theory 
Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay
We wouldnt be able to tell you exactly how many symbolic accounts you may need to create for the 41 Wage Types as it is specific to your requirement.
Check these links out: Symbolic Accounts..
http://sappeers.wordpress.com/category/sap-fi-hr-integration/
It might help you with a fair understanding of what you need to do.
Example for linking wage types to symbolic accounts: basic pay wage type u20181000u2019 is linked to symbolic account u20188888u2019 (Salaries & wages)
Hope this helped!

I keep attempting to make a in app purchase and it keeps saying payment declined although I have plenty of funds when I check my account. What can I do?

I assume that you are trying to use a debit card ? If it is then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
