Mobile Accounts: Sync new accounts first time only.

When a user logs into a computer for the first time it is set to create a mobile account, however we don't use home directory syncing because the typical size of our 200 users' home directories is over 100Gb which makes syncing home directories not viable.
It would be very handy, though, to have it sync the first time only at login so that our user directory template is automatically copied over which will save a lot of time setting up new users.
Accoring to Apple's User Management v10.5 documentation on page 203:
+"To initially sync local and network homes so that the network home folder replaces the local home folder, choose “Create home with default sync settings."+
(This refers to Workgroup Manger -> Preferences -> the Mobility pane -> Account Creation -> Creation tab)
After testing, though, it is quite clear that this does not work - at least on my setup. I can get it to work by going to the Rules tab in the Mobility pane and ticking the sync at login and logout, but this syncs every time on both login and logout, which is not what I want to achieve.
Any ideas?

I also mentioned, that some Safari-Extensions I installed on the iMac are missing now on my iMac-Profile. I also mentioned, that some settings for 1Password are reset to default values.

Itis normal and expected for the compuer to see the iPod as a camera. That is how you get phots taken and saved to the iPod off the iPod. To get iTunes to see the iPod:

Does Roaming data syncs for the first time when app data are in download and installation process?

Hi,
I will store user Id in "HighPriority" Roaming data. When user will install app in another computer (with the same Microsoft Account), app will get user Id from Roaming data. Then I can implement all data sync over my cloud service.
There are 2 scenarios:
1. User downloads and installs app in another computer, but roaming data syncs/downloads for the first time only after several minutes -
It's bad for my app :(
2. User downloads and installs app in another computer and roaming data syncs/downloads at the same time (then I can get user Id immediately)
- Its great for my app :)
Which scenario is real in practice?

Umm no not that i remember. It just randomly started happening. I reformatted the hard drive for mac (journaled) but it was working fine since i did it until now

Access of network for first time only

Hi there,
I have encountered some problems whenever my J2ME application wants to connect to the servlet via the HttpConnection. When i test on the real device, this alert message "Do you wish to access to the network " will always prompt me whenever i want to use the network.
So when i open the httpConnection 4 times, this alert message will prompt me 4 times.Is there any ways for me to eliminate this prompting? As far as i'm concerned, i know there's this feature in the mobile device that allows the setting of network access to ask for the first time only. But i want to set it in codings.
Can anybody help me in this matter?Thanks!

You also need to set your application domain to trusted. Else even if the user sets the permission to always allow ... blah blah blah, the app will still ask every time. You do this by buying a certificate from a TTP.

I just tried to sync for the first time and i receieved an error message saying, "Itunes could not backup because backup could not be saved on the compute"??

Message was edited by: Nalharby

i think icloud should let you update your purchases so that the games will sync to your new computer and they will be backed up. i am not sure how to do this so you do not lose the levels you have completed.
if not can you export the game to the new computer with the current settings?
or another way is to sync to the new computer and redo all the levels you have completed again and it should take you less time?

Shared Itunes account to new account - deleting Icloud information

I have always shared an Itunes account with my soon to be ex-husband, who will be keeping the account. I need to remove my Iphone information (contacts notes etc) from Icloud but keep those contacts in my phone. I have my own i tunes account already. How do I make sure I can delete my information from my husbands account but not lose the contacts in my phone

Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off you can safely scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from your phone, not from iCloud. If his phone will continue to use thie account it will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your contacts and other information from the old account, and deleting his contacts and other information from yours). These changes will be reflected on each phone.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, you can download your photo stream photos to your computer directly. If not, you will need either open them one by one and save them to your camera roll or use an app like PhotoSync, which will wirelessly transfer photos from your photo stream album to your computer all at once. (Without using an app like this your computer will only import camera roll photos, not photo stream photos.)
Finally, to change the ID used for purchasing go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in using your new ID. To change the ID for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your new ID. Go to Settings>FaceTime and do the same thing.

Wlconfig with custom role mapper always fails FIRST time only

WLS 8.1 sp2.
I have a very strange problem, where I'm "coldstarting" a server and
configuring it, much like the ant build script for medrec. Only I have a
custom role mapper (medrec has a custom authentication provider). Anyway,
the first time I execute this task (after a clean), it consistently fails
like so:
[wlconfig] OK
[wlconfig] OK
BUILD FAILED
file:P:/dgs/build.xml:186: Unable to create mbean:
weblogic.management.MBeanCreationException: - with nested exception:
[java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
weblogic.management.configuration.com.combinenet.security.CNRoleMapperProvid
erMBean]
(that class looks bogus to me, BTW, as my provider class is
com.combinenet.security.CNRoleMapperProvider)
Now, the SECOND time I execute "coldstart", which runs wlconfig, the server
starts up fine, and my custom role mapper is loaded successfully. So,
obviously I figured something was left around the first time which somehow
helped matters, but the strange thing is that I delete the entire domain
directory before "coldstarting" the server, and I also re-copy the role
mapper provider jar into the mbeantypes directory, so I'm very puzzled. I'm
copying the coldstart task below (and the clean).
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this task that would make it fail the
first time through after a clean? Is this a bug? And why would it succeed on
all subsequent attempts (without a clean)? I just don't see anything wrong
with what I'm doing.
TIA,
Miles

HT1206 move downloads from old account to new account

I have an old iPod under an old account loaded with music.
I now have a new account and a new iPod Touch and would like to move all mucis to the new iPod.
It's OK if I have to close the old iTunes account to do this.
How do I transfer all this music to my new iPod with a new account?

If this is the case, then why is there a transfer purchases function when you hook an iDevice to a different iTunes account? If that doesn't transfer ownership to the new account, what good is it? What is the point of transfer purchases?
I ask because my wife and I have been purchasing from appstore and iTunes under separate Apple IDs for years. Recently we added our son to the mix by giving him a Touch. I've been researching and understand the right way to share is for us to set up a family apple ID. So I'm looking at how we can tranfer our independent purchases to the family ID. The news on this board seems to imply it is impossible but I can't believe Apple truely is that evil a company.
I'm gifting my wife my iPad2 since I'm getting a 3 for a work service award. When I plugged it into her iTunes account, iTunes asked if I wanted to transfer ownership of the apps on my iPad to the "new" iTunes account. Is that the solution? Simply load the idevices with all the goodies from each AppleID and transfer the purchases to the new family iTunes account?
If I do this, will me and my wife be able to access the same iTunes account on our respective computers to sync our devices from our own pc and have iTunes keep the programs we want in sync whether she downloads it or I do?
The latter sounds promising, but I don't want to screw any thing up with the transfer ownership function without knowing for sure.

Changing from old account to new account but want to keep apps and data.

Is it possible to sync my data from my iPod to the same iPod but using a different account.
For example, account number 1 has my current data; I now have account number 2. I want to switch my apps and related data to the same iPod under the new account name. How can I make the switch?

I have a similiar issue but with a slight difference. My account originally was an AOL account and I had a few songs purchased under that account but since have switched to an apple account. Since then I have upgraded from a "mini" to a 3rd gen iTouch and also have several computers authorized. My issue is that I have "lost" 31 songs when I synch my iTouch to iTunes (the original songs purchased on the AOL account). When I synch I get an error message that I am "not authorized to them on this computer, and to authorize the computer...". This computer is authorized. Help!

How do i transfer my itunes credit from old account to new account?

how do i transfer my itunes credit from an old account to my new account? Curiously, my money did not follow me....

Maybe he had a kid and wanted to give them the gift of his iTunes account?
Yes, but he wants to take his money out of it first. Nice Dad.
It's freaking ridiculous that this can't be done.
You can provide suggestions to Apple at the Feedback page.

When you copy all of your data from old computer to new computer (inluding entire /Music/iTunes folder), it will sync just fine.
It won't even erase the iPhone.

Old Account 2 New Account

Hello,
I want to create a new account on iTunes and import all the songs from the old account on iTunes. Is this possible or do I have to purchase all the songs again on the new account?

See this -> About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
"Make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations. If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
*To deauthorize all computers associated with your account*
Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All."
