Need "accounts" help from the experts here

Sometime ago I screw up my original account. In the process, I created a new account and somehow deleted the original one. I have some ideas on how I accomplished such thing, but it's a long story that has resulted on the following: My account name is "R. deFernandez" (made up name, of course), but the Home's icon in the Finder (the "house" icon) is not my present account, but the original one.
Also, if I open "Accounts" in the System Preferences, only one account (Admin) is listed, and this is my present account, not the original. If I open the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, and then the Accounts folder, only the original account, not my present account is shown.
Now, this information I am about to tell you may be of benefit to some: trying to update Office 2004, and also MS Messenger results on the following warning: "Warning. The following disk images failed to mount. Image: office2004-1123Update. Reason: invalid checksum."
I have unsuccessfully tried to update both applications with the help of both Apple technicians and Mactopia, and just today I realized that both updaters can't update the applications mentioned, simply because their respective installers follow the path through the original account. Sooo, whatever you do, don't mess around with the original account's name (the first admin. account created on your hard drive).
Now, here is where I am asking you for help: is there a way where I can reinstall Mac OS 10.4 without erasing the hard drive, AND so when I start the iMac I can use the Set-Up Assistant to create a new (virgin) account?

Open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, locate your account in the list of users, and change the last part of its home property to match the desired setting; if you aren't sure which account is yours, look for one with a numeric UID of 501 or above. Don't delete or alter any other accounts, groups, or properties. Next, open the Users folder in the Finder and change the name of the item in the home folder to match what you entered in the NetInfo Manager. When you've done this, log out and back in; if this procedure was successful, your home icon will be the present name of your account. If not, you will have a brand new home folder and can migrate your data from the old one.
An account's name and home properties can be changed independently from each other, and a home folder does not need to be in /Users/.

How to create an incentive same as LPC and PPI in ISU. Any help from the experts as it is an urgent requirement of the client.

Hi,
It depends on fact that when you want to create the incentive.
If you want to create at the time of invoicing, then you have to enhance event R402.
If you want to create at the time of payment, the you have to enhance event 0032.
Hope it helps

Need some help from the management : A deeply dissatisfied customer

Hi,
I hope I am one of the very dissatisfied customers of you company. I bought a new T715 and it has already gone for a repair twice. I gave it for repair for the first time in october (ETA was 20 days and told by the service centre) and I got the phone after some 30days only after an intervention of a manager. Prior to that the customer care was saying that they do not have the parts and they have no idea about how much time the repair is gonna take. Surprisingly it took only 2day once the manager intervened.
When I was submitting the phone on jan 14th 2011(work order number SE311MM110015), they again said that I'll get my phone back in 20 days. This time I expected that the service center guys will learn some thing from the past incidents and provide me a better service. But this time it was even worse. I did not hear from them for 35 days. So I called the customer care and had a long conversation with them on the service that is being provided but no-one including the floor supervisor(nishant) had a clue about what happening with my phone. I was startled by thier reply that they will start working on it as I have registered the complaint. Then I asked them what were they doing till now for which they had no idea. I asked for an escalation of this case to a manager which they refused. They said that I'll get an update after 48 working hours(5days).
The episode continues. I called the help desk after 5days. Now their reply is that I will get my phone back on march 10 2011. So, it is some 57 days since the day i submitted the phone which is 3 times the ETA they promosed. Now when I ask them why is it taking so long I get the same reply as I got for the first time that they do not have parts. The I told them I cannot accept this kind of service from a company like sony erricsson for the second time. For this the floor supervisor harish said that If I want my phone back earlier they'll return the piece back to me without repairing and they are not responsible for this. This time I again asked for a managerial escalation which they again refused and asked me to call after 2 days. Can I atleast hope for a positive reply this time??
I am perfectly okay with one device out of a lakh being defective. I understand this is the reason that you provide the customers a warranty. But I have some issues with the support which you are providing:
1) Managerial escalations : I think I am entitled to talk to some one who can actually solve my issue when the lower level doesn't solve it in time. I do not understand why I am being denied the escalation which I did not find in any other support. They do not even provide me an email ID of a manager.
2) Support process : What is the use of those processes in place where the people I am talking have no idea of what the next step should be. They do not have the database or knowledge of the previous cases. Even the floor supervisor have no aswers to the legitamate questions that the customer poses, they talk as if they are not responsible for these issues.
3) Time taken: Taking some days to provide the customer a mere update is not how a 21st century support should work.
I hope you people agree with my ideas. And please I request all the managers who stumble upon this thread to reply and guide me about my next action.
Thanks and Regards

Work order number : SE311MM110015

@management : Please help me... I did not get my phone back yet... this time they were saying that they will investigate into this case and this process can take 10 more days... When I asked for a manager escalation they dropped the call... And surprisingly they started dropping my calls which is not at all acceptable...
Please managers... I need to talk to you... I need my phone back repaired....
@others... Please lemme know a contact of a person in managerial cadre if you are ware of one...

Hi i need help from the experts in node set up

i just both the logic pro upgrade from logic express and I have a g5 and g4 can somboody help my to use the node sistem to put them together. i am in mexico and is not easy to find that kind of help, i dont have a clear idea because the manual instructions are not clear enough how to install the node sistem, they send you to on line help... welll thank you verry much
kosming

This is not strictly true... The G4 will work as a Node, though the benefit of it will be minimised.
It wirks pretty simply and you won't do any harm (especially your wallet), giving it a try.
Make sure you install the equivalent version (extremely important) of the Logic Node application on your G4 and run it.
Launch Logic on your G5, open preferences/ Audio / Nodes. Provided you have your computers networked correctly (I am assuming you have done this), the Node computer will be listed there. You can then activate it, if listed.
Assigning a track to a Node is done in the arrange window (view / Node buttons, needs to be enabled) .. Click the Node button and voila!!
It is important to note that only Logic plugins (with the exception of EXS24 and, I think, Ultrabeat) can be processed by a Node.

Need some help from the InDesign community

Tired of working with PPT because the client demands it? We're trying to dramatically change how InDesign can help.
Take our survey so we can better undertand the needs from fellow designers:
http://www.exectones.com/limesurvey/index.php?sid=48842&lang=en

What you say, Buko, are you not praying for those special PowerPoint capabilities in InDesign!?
The low-resolution bitmaps that are converted to lowest-possible quality JPEG by default? The rectangles that automatically appear behind text, and over anything 'behind' it? The now it fits in a box text and now it doesnt while the font didn't change? The ruthless clipping of lowercase 'g's at the bottom of a text frame? The appalling way "drop shadows" and "lighting fx" are blended on backgrounds in glorious 36 dpi? The fully automatic re-formatting if you open, print, save, or even look at a slide? Choosing between the default zero-width lines that disappear entirely in print or their very next step in thickness -- fat slugs of 1 pt thick?
What ... what is it that bothers you?

Ok so i had to reformat my pc due to having a nasty virus.
So the thing is that i have some music/photos on my ipod touch 3rd gen 32 gig that i dont want to lose.

Column2 : GROUP2
GROUP1     GROUP2
ana     ana
gloria     gloria
sofia     grace
grace     celine
mona     jackie

ana     ana     true
gloria     gloria     true
sofia     grace     false
grace     celine     false
mona     jackie     false
jackie     flor     false
eve     eva     false
In the Result Column have a formula set up and copy the formula for the entire column to be compared :eg To compare B30 and C30 => =IF(B30=C30,"true","false")

this is my problem:-
i had make a login form using in oracle 9i form builder >>>in this form i have three text boxes one for intering user name and the second one for entering the password and the third text box is not visible and it is used for counting the tries.
In addition i have a three buttons , one is for login and the two others are not visible and they are a show main menu button and a exit button. For login button i had put a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger in the login button and it must check if the user name and the password match what it is on the login table so it allow the user to see the show main menu button otherwise if the user name or the password are wrong and has been putted wrong for 3 times of trying then it will show the exit button.

Need some help with the Select query.

Need some help with the Select query.
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
        VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
        ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
       END OF IT_REJ.
This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
What should be my select query here?
Please suggest....
Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!

Developer

Need some help changing the Home icon name in Lion

Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.
After I get to step 6, the director utility opens... the lock is already unlocked, I click it and it locks, click it again, enter my admin password... but there is no option to "Enable Root User" I only see a list of services "Active Directory", "LDAPv3" & "NIS". I'm lost, and I don't want to screw anything up here! Thanks for the help!

You're looking in the wrong place. After you click the padlock, forget about that window and go to the menubar, top of your screen where it says
Directory Utility | File | Edit | Help
From the Edit menu choose 'enable root user'

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
Thanks,
Wei

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the response.
Application release is 11.5.10.
Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

For running utlrp.sql need users termination from the database?

Hai All,
My database jobs terminated in some time. So I want to run utlrp.sql for compiling all invalid objects. Is It needs users termination from the database? or login to restricted session? Please give a correct step for doing this activity..
Please help?
Shiju

database? or login to restricted session? Please
give a correct step for doing this activity..
It is good , if you run utlrp.sql in restricted mode also set job_queue_processes =0 and check no dbms_job running package ( if package is valid then fine ). Problem only come when package/procedure are locked/in use by session. If invalid package are not used by any session then you can run utlrp.sql without restricted mode also. Well you know better you application.
Since you not altering any dependencies, just want to compile , you can run without restricted mode.
