  • As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

    As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

  • I have an I phone 4 that I use in Singapore, but would like to use it in the US while on holiday. How do I cahnge out the sim card, and is there anything else that I need to do.

    I have an I phone 4 that I use in Singapore, but would like to use it in the US while on holiday. How do I change out the sim card, and is there anything else that I need to do?

    Ignore the other post (the one from Brendan), he has no idea what he is talking about.
    Read your manual (you have a bookmark to it in Safari on your iPhone or put iBooks on your iPhone and download the manual from the iBookStore) and it will show you how to remove the microSIM from your iPhone. AT&T is not tourist friendly and does not offer a pay as you go plan for visitors with an iPhone. If you are going to be here for a short time you can probably buy a pay as you go microSIM and use it before AT&T notices, if it is going to be for a long time that won't work.
    There is a 3rd party company that will sell you a microSIM that will work with AT&T but they are pretty pricey.
    Finally, you can get a pay as you go microSIM from T-Mobile to work with your iPhone but you will only have EDGE data speeds.

  • I was just given an iMac G4 running OX X 10.4 Unfortunately it is password protected. How do I set up a new user? I don't need (and would prefer to remove) the old users.

    Since I cannot even get past the opening security screen I don't see how to set up my own user account. Thanks!

    Thanks. Believe, me I would have done that if I had the DVD. They couldn't find it when they gave me the computer. They are still looking but who knows if they'll find it. I'm going to try to get one from someone else and was hoping there was a way to bypass this as there is on Windows machine, just set up a new user and deal with the old users later if ever.

  • How to create a new user in OWB that can only view other user's mappings

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to OWB and want to know if possible to create different users that can only view other user's mappings without making any changes. Do you know if possible each user can have his own password?
    Thank you for your help!
    Jennifer

    A good starting point would be this blog posting:
    https://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/build_up_multi-role_development_environment_in_owb
    I seem to recall as well from the OWB Admin class that existing objects in the repository would need to have the security updated if the additional restricted roles are created after tables/mappings/etc. so that they reflect the new security model.
    Also, for individual logins to OWB, each developer would require a separate database login.

  • New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

    Hi all,
    I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Hi.
    No, Simon, it does not work that way.
    First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
    Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
    In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
    You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
    Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I create new user in such that its entries are stored both in profile server and ldap?

     

    Portal only creates a user profile locally within its native ldap server. Two ways you can approach this is to either write a custom auth module that creates a user in the ldap server at the same time or handle it through replication.

  • **New User** Memory, PCI Express, BIOS Need Help Please

    So, I just got my mobo installed and now I am having some troubles. First, my specs:
    AMD Phenom 9850BE
    Corsair XMS 1066 Dominator series 5-5-5-18 2.1v
    MSI HD3870 800mhz edition
    Antec 1000w psu.
    Asus Xonar DX sound card
    Vista Business 64bit
    RAM Location:
    Do I follow the colors (Green -DIMM1 and DIMM3, Orange - DIMM2 and DIMM4) or do I put them D1+D2, D3+ D4? Logically I would follow the colors, but the handbook says to use D1+D2, etc. Also, I set my mobo timings of the RAM to 1:2.66 so it would run at 1066mhz.  I set the voltage to 2.1v and got a bsod. But this is the way to change the RAM settings right?
    Graphics Card Setup:
    Right now I have my gfx card in the Teal/Light blue PCIe slot. Is this the mazarine color they describe? Also I plan on putting an HD4870 to crossfire with my 3870 once they come out, do I put that in the other Teal/Light blue PCIe slot? I do not know if this will fit that way, the USB/E1394 cables might be in the way, which would really upset me. Can anyone put a card on the first darker blue slot? The pipelines are in the way for me.
    BIOS:
    I do not know what version I have and if it is up to date. I tried LiveUpdate 3 to see if it was updated, but it kept giving me a "Services not started" or "cannot start service" error over and over.
    eSATA:
    I tried hooking up my eSATA external hard drive and it didnt work. I have to enable the onboard Raid controller option in the BIOS. I do not use RAID so I disable it, and I hate hate the startup check it has when booting. How do I work around this?
    Thank you for your help, I know that this is probably somewhere hidden within the forums, but I really need to get this thing going and am trying to set up other things and never really find the specific answers I am looking for. Thanks again guys.

    I do not know how to tell what version it is. I believe it is a MS-7376 Ver 1.0.   I just bought it from newegg maybe 2 weeks ago. MSI CPU support says that it supports 9850BE 125W CPU. I upgraded to the 1.4 BIOS version.    What do I do?
    The gfx situation isn't pretty. I wanted to go Crossfire, but I doubt that will happen. I cannot get my card into the top darker blue pci-e slot due to the pipelines being in the way. Currently I have my card in the lower lighter teal blue color, which I guess is the PCIe 8x slot. Newegg said they were 16x for all of them and then 8x if they were in Quad CF.  Oh, I also have a PCIe 1x Sound Card that is right under the first dark blue PCIe. So I cannot put the card up top at all. The other lighter teal blue PCIe slot is on the bottom of the motherboard and will not have any place to put a double cooler slot GFX card into it. So, the only way I can go crossfire is if I put the Light Teal Blue 8x slot with a Card directly under it in the Darker blue 16x slot.

  • Color sent to FCP - New Clip in FCP that also needs color correction

    Good evening, is there a way how - after having color corrected the FCP project in Color - to exchange or add a new clip into the FCP project, which can be color corrected in the same, initial Color project.
    Meaning: I was "lazy" and I didn't bake a Motion Clip, which of course isn't showing in Color.
    Now, I tried to be "smart": Exported the Motion Clip from FCP as Quicktime movie. Than went to Color and relinked media, with that new baked clip, which is the exact same length... That doesn't work...
    Hm. I am being ignorant?
    Thank in advance for the help.
    Sincerely,
    Miss Snoozy

    In your case, if you're up to date on version (1.5 or later), then a Reconform will probably work for you.
    Create a new FCP sequence with the revised "baked" clip, export an XML file, open the original COLOR project, select Reconform from the file menu, select the XML you just created and hold your breah, cross your fingers and hopefully it will work.

  • DA add new user.

    How can I take out Disk Space Quota and Message Number Quote off the new user wizard.
    That's what service packages are for. I don't want Organization Admins to have that power.
    I went in and looked at the code and instead of making it simple of coure it's all in xml I took out what I thought was causing it from the newUser.xml file that didn't do anything.
    Even after redeploying.
    I don't even care if top level admins have this power. I can change in LDAP if needed and write a procedure to do so.
    I know how to stop them from modifiy it once a user has been made.
    But there is really no point if they can change when the user is made.
    OrganizationAdminRole.UserProperties.MailQuotaValue=NONEDITABLE
    ProviderAdminRole.UserProperties.MailQuotaValue=NONEDITABLE
    I even tried this.
    OrganizationAdminRole.newuser.wizard.mailquotaid=INVISIBLE
    OrganizationAdminRole.newuser.wizard.mailmsgquotaid=INVISIBLE
    Didn't work :)
    Or maybe there is a setting to auto fill and make noneditable those fields from the service package for a OrganizationAdmin?

  • Can't create new user account....

    Hi- I am trying to create a new user account so that I can see if some of the issues I am having with my G4 Mac also are issues under a different account. I have (several times) created a new account and assigned a password and also tried having no password. Either logging out or using Fast User Switching, I click on the new user icon and either type in the password (I know I have it correct since it's my default password) or not type it in if I have no password set, and click on login. That's when I get the shaking window. No matter what I do, I can't login!! I am at a loss of what to do or what could be causing this. Any help will make me a happy Mac user again! Judy
    PS- After I had this problem surface, I ran Monoligual and got rid of lots of language support and I also ran Font Nuke to clean out some font caches.... but these were run after I had problems setting up a new user account. I was having issues with the new upgrade for my genealogy program, Reunion (still having issues actually-they can't figure out what's causing the problem) and I removed some "things" from Login Items. Can't tell you what they were but I have some there still. I ran Disk Warrior and iDefrag also recently. Also have repaired permissions. The other issue I had (yesterday anyway-haven't used it much today yet) is that Safari was crashing when I was accessing my public library's online catalog............. I don't know if any of these are related to my inability to create a new user account or not but thought I'd throw that into the mix.

    You say a dialog comes up for you to enter a password when you don't have a password while using Fast User Switching. That should not happen.
    If you set up an account without setting the password, Fast User Switching won't bring up the password dialog for that account. Instead, it will instantly switch to that account when you choose it.
    Make sure there is nothing in the password field when you set up the account, or change the password and don't type anything in for either the new or verify fields. It'll ask you to confirm that you don't want a password and "Cancel" will be the default button. Choose the "Ok" button instead.
    That should do it. If not, then I have no idea.

  • How to move all info from original user identity to new user identity

    I bought a new printer and had some problems. In the process of 'fixing' the problems with the help of HP tech support I have since lost the ability to print from my original printer. I have found that I can print from a new user identity to both printers, so I'm figuring the easiest way to fix this problem is to physically transfer everything I have on my original user profile to a new user profile so that my printing problems are fixed. I can print to the new printer from the original user profile. So if there is a way that I could fix it so that I can print to the old printer that would be even better. But I've given in to the fact that I'm going to have to delete the original user profile and use a new one.
    If any one has any tips on the easiest way to do this with out losing anything I've aquired that would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm just taking a wild guess here but: the situation you described sounds like there is a problem somewhere with you original user's settings, probably in your ~/Library Folder. If you really were to transfer all of your old users information to the new account, including all files and settings there is a fair chance that you would also import whatever the problem is on your original account.
    So you should as you said either try to fix your old printer in your old profile so both work there or transfer only your data files such as the Music, Pictures, Movies and Documents folders from your original home directory to the new home directory. You could also import the ~/Library Folder in bits and always make sure that you can still print but that would probably take as long as finding the problem in the original account. I hope that helps amking a choice which way to go.

  • Repalce old user ID with new user ID in Org Plan

    Hi,
    I have a requirement. In our company, we have different type of user IDs for permanent employees and contractors.
    Whenever the contractors postion gets confirmed we will create a new user ID for that person.
    Now this new user ID has to be updated in the SRM org plan.
    As the user's old user ID is already assigned in the org plan and at the same time user have created lot of shopping carts, we want to replace his old user ID with the new one so that all the shopping carts will not get deleted.
    Basically I want to know, how to unassign the user ID from business partner and assign a new user ID.
    Is it possible to replace like that? Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I noticed a feature in txn: BP --> Relationship
    In the relationship category, I could see two categories: Replaced by, Is replacing. Not sure what is the exact functionality of that.
    Do any one knows about that feature? Could you please advise me on that field?
    Also, Is it possible to change the validity period of BP or user assignment ?
    Will the above two resolve my issue?
    Since user has created many shopping carts and user needs access to those SC with his new users ID, I would like to confirm with you before taking any risk.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
