New user setup question

I just purchased a used iphone, I know that I need a new sim card to activate, my question is how do I know if the previous owner has left any of her info on it, what is the best way to set it up starting out with new sim card? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I would also do a restore on it before you activate it.

New User Setups - My Face...

Oh yeah! Plus New User setup forms from HR with wrong spelling as well, and you get ahead of the game and go and setup every account they need, login as them to their new machine, an email goes out to all users asking them to welcome the new start, the GAL goes out to all remote Outlook users and everything - then they turn up for work on their first day and call you to say their name is spelt wrong. Oh the pain, the anger, the postal feeling, then... ah, the coffee - that's better.....
And it all begins again.

when I have to work on a new user setup for a unique snow flake...
Instead of a common/sane/literate spelled name such as Matthew, I have to create Matthieui
Or the latest one... Synthia instead of Cynthia.

Customisation of New User setup pages.

Is it possible to customise the New User setup screens/forms? If not, is it possible to add few more screens to capture more details?
null

It believe it is not possible to adjust these screens in the current version of Portal. The database packages that build these screens are wrapped.
But we managed to create our own screens using the Portal API package (see PDK) that edits the user (wwsec_api.modify_portal_user). You can create an application component (form ) that is based on a procedure. It seems to work.
I don't know if this also works for the creation of users (wwsec_api.add_portal_user).

New User, Setup Problem

Hello , i am a new user in J2ME (Mobile/Wireless). I was download the studio5me-win-en.exe file. I tried to setup but i take this message < A suitable JVM couldnot be found. Please run the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR> >. what can i do?
Sorry for my English.
John.

To XxPeterPxX
I have the same problem that you answered firstly, it's a nightmare! I did what you said and I ran: studio5me-win-en.exe -is:javahome c:\j2sdk1.4.2_01. A file download appears with only the 'open' (not 'save') option availabe. When I press open, the old message appears (i.e. -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR> ). Please can somebody help me I desperately want to get this program running. I would appreciate it if you would reply to my email address ( [email protected] ). However, if that is not possible, I will still be grateful for your reply to this message.

Help - iMac Storage/New user account question

Ok - so I've assumed that my user account was corrupt as Ive been having problems with Safari crashing/freezing the whole of my Mac, but thats another storey.
So i decided to create a new user account to delete the old one. I copied the following folders from my original user account into the shared folder first of all:
Pictures
Music
Movies
Documents
I've now deleted the old account and copied these folders from Shared into my new user account - actually Ive just left Music, Pictures & Movies in shared and am going to point the relevant apps such as iTunes to the shared folder.
The problem I have, is that I've lost over 100gb of storage somewhere on the Mac and I can't see where!
As far as I can see, I've deleted everything so that there is only one copy now and have emptied the Trash folder.
Anybody got any suggestions - perhaps a hidden folder somewhere?
Thanks

>>... I can't seem to see it anywhere anyway...
It would be a folder or disk image (.dmg) in /Users, along with your current account home.
>>I might try and get rid of the Events folder - not sure if I need that or not?

Before removing your projects and events, make sure they have been updated for iMovie version 10.'

New Mac and Airport Extreme Base Station User - Setup question

Good Morning,
I just received my new MacBook Pro yesterday along with the Airport Extreme Base Station. I was tying to setup the airport extreme but have had no luck. I want to make sure I'm connecting things correctly - make sure I'm not doing something stupid.
I have a cable modem and I previously had a Netgear router. The connection from the cable modem that had previously been connected to my Netgear router - I disconnected it and connected it to the Airport extreme base station instead. And then I plugged it in. Is that all the connecting that I need to do? I get the flashing amber light.
Now I did read a few other threads and it sounds like I may need to install the Airport Utility that came with the base station. So I'll try that when I get home tonight. But I would appreciate any other suggestions - especially whether or not I've connected the airport extreme correctly to my cable modem.
Thanks, Susan
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

I want to make sure I'm connecting things correctly
The network configuration should look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN port] AEBSn > (wireless) > MacBook Pro
I have a cable modem and I previously had a Netgear router. The connection from the cable modem that had previously been connected to my Netgear router - I disconnected it and connected it to the Airport extreme base station instead. And then I plugged it in. Is that all the connecting that I need to do? I get the flashing amber light.
Since you changed your network configuration, you should perform a complete power recycle of your network components to allow enough time for them to "synchronize."
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Now I did read a few other threads and it sounds like I may need to install the Airport Utility that came with the base station.
Yes, you will need this utility to perform the setup and follow-on administration of the AEBSn.

New W530 setup questions...

Just received my W530 in the mail and I've been trying to get up to speed on all the new technology out there and how to properly setup my computer... I've tried various searches but haven't got a clear answer I don't think - here goes:
W530 8gb RAM (2x4), K2000, 500 gb HDD with raid option, x64 win 7, hi res screen
I already bought a Samsung EVO SSD 250GB for the main drive which I will pickup from my US mailbox on Monday.
The reason I bought the computer is because my 4 year old Acer just couldn't handle the intensity of PlanSwift and On-Centre digital estimating programs for construction. In addition I dabble with Chief Architect Premiere for 3D house design and the Adobe Suite to do graphics stuff for the company, etc., etc. I will likely take some CAD related courses at school as well in the future.
My plan was to install OS and programs on the new SSD in the main bay and keep current project files on there. All misc pictures, videos and company files and other things on the HDD which would be in the UltraBay. I currently use about 180 GB and have another 250GB stored on an old laptop which I'd like to transfer over so everything is on one laptop. That one will be for internet searches in the garage for dirtbike repairs
Questions:
1. Is it worth getting a 128 GB mSata drive for the OS (under $100 for Crucial)? Then have all program files on SSD in main bay and misc files on HDD in ultrabay? do I need an adapter for the ultrabay or is it already able to accept the HDD in the ultrabay? I haven't popped out the ultrabay yet to see...
2. I hear of using the mSata drive for Caching? Is 128 GB enough for OS and caching? When is the caching helpful? Should I use the mSata just for caching?
3. Do I setup the computer with the OS on the HDD in the main bay and then clone/image it to the mSata drive oro SSD drive? Or do I start with the SSD in the main bay? I'm really confused on this part...
4. If necessary I will upgrade the RAM later - I think this is a straightforward upgrade as long as the voltages with the original RAM are the same - is this correct?
5. I currently use a Sony KDL 40XBR8 TV as a second monitor at work - what connection should I be using to get the best display settings? I currently use an HDMI with my Acer for no particular reason. I also have an Acer 23" at home which will be replaced with another Sony or Samsung TV when we move into our new house...
sorry for the noob questions... I am typically really good at finding answers to my questions but i really didn't find any clear answers or they were so technical I didn't realize it was the answer to my question ;-)
Can someone give me a practical approach to setting up my computer so I can start off right... thanks!!
Daniel
Thanks in advance
Daniel
ps can't wait to light this thing up with the SSD! It should rip pretty good...
| W530 | i7-3630QM | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB mSATA | 250GB 840 EVO | 500GB HDD | 1920x1080 | QUADRO K2000M |

Hi Daniel. When I bought my w530 I immediately installed a 256gb SSD. And now, over a year later I'm looking at getting a 256gb mSata for the boot drive.
1. The mSata port may only be Sata II but I figure it's not likely that I'll notice the difference. High transfer rates are really only realized with large files and the OS is usually a large collection of very small files. But that's just an opinion and your experience may vary.
For an ultrabay adapter, check out newmodeus. Quite a few forum posts mention success with this adapter versus the cheap ones from eBay. I haven't bought one yet myself, but this is what I will get when the time comes. (they also sell an adapter to convert your optical drive into an external USB optical drive.)
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=400
Also, search the forum and be aware that there are many who report problems of the w530 kicking out the ultrabay drive, but it seems better with the newmodeus adapter (as I recall; it was quite a while back when I read about it). I haven't looked at what ncix carries for adapters but would be interested to know if you find something that works.
And the drives shipped with the w530 come in different heights, and if it doesn't match the height of your SSD you will need rubber rails. I still haven't ordered mine and I'm letting my drive sit in the overheight internal bay without proper support. I just carry it very carefully. I'm not sure of the best place to get rails, direct from Lenovo or elsewhere. Last time I checked with Newmodeus they didn't sell just rails, but that may have changed (it was quite a while ago that I checked).
2. Caching only helps if your OS boot partition is on a traditional harddrive. With an SSD you won't utilize the caching as it won't be any faster (and may be slower).
3. I would try installing direct to the mSata/SSD instead of cloning. For a new system it's probably just as easy and less prone to issues. Windows will take care of alignment, etc., and turning off features unnecessary for SSD (superfetch/prefetch/and all that).
I also don't believe it necessary to install Win7 fresh. It depends on your view. I didn't want the hassle of tracking down a legit copy of Win7 install that I would trust, not to mention the hassle of installing it. Instead, I made the restore DVD(s) using the Lenovo tools whlie the original harddrive was installed, then switched the drive with the new SDD and restored from the DVDs. Then I went through and uninstalled any Lenovo software I didn't think was useful. It's been working nicely ever since and I don't regret not starting with a fresh install. Your experience may vary, though.
4. Upgrading ram is very easy. I'm not sure about specs, but if you don't match voltage and speed the system will downgrade both to the lowest common available. You should be able to find many discussions about matching RAM voltage on the 'net. You also would have to wait until your system arrives anyways because you don't know the specs of the RAM in advance (since Lenovo uses different suppliers).
I'm not sure how much RAM you'd need for CAD software. I upgraded mine to 32gb because I didn't want to find myself wishing I had more (for software development). I think I only ever hit as high as 20gb used, and am usually around the 6-12gb mark (depends on how many VMs I have going).
5. Sorry, I can't answer your video question. I use the docking station with two monitors via DVI. I haven't tried HDMI.
Before you sell off the extra parts, make sure you don't need them for warranty coverage. Warranty will only cover the system with original parts, so if you have to send in your system you would remove all custom parts and reinstall the originals. I'm not sure about onsite service, if you have to revert your system or not to original specs.
All comments I made above were in respect of Win7 Pro. I have no idea if anything changes under Win8/8.1.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy your w530 as much as I do mine.

New Studio Setup-Questions

We are getting closer to setting up the new edit suite.
Here is a list of equipment we are getting or will be?
I got a great deal on a new Kona card that was PCI-x--that should explain the need for the older powermac.
Items with ???? not sure what to get
What else am I missing?
Equipment List
PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz PCI-x
Kona Lh PCI-x card
2 LCD computer monitors (apple 23 in.)
Monitor speakers/amplifer ?????
Mackie 1402 VLX mixer
Audio Patch Bay
Winstead Rack Unit
Plasma or LCD video monitor ?????
Sony PVM studio monitor (for color accurate monitoring)
RS-422 control Switch-5 port
Video Router A/V switch (for multiple decks need S-VHS, compontant, composite--all going to kona card---not sure about this) ?????
Media Storage eSata 5 Bay enclosure (caldigit/Lacie V2S) 3Tb?????

We are a small business boutique that spealizes in outdoor television, primarily fishing in the Northeast.
We will be creating a pilot in the next few months for another outdoor show, which we are planning to do in HD.
My business also does everything from DVD home movie transfers to commercial and corporate.
so we kind of of do it all.
In the past we've done it all with express pros, which my editors could take home with them or work on a laptop.
We had one online media composer to finish.
I'm tearing apart the avid system now and moving to a larger facility.
There I'd like to set up a final cut hd system...
As for cameras, we are still researching but they need to be disposable.
meaning if they go overboard, it's not 25k to replace--only 5-8k depending on camera.
I plan on setting up a blog for this as well so others can follow in my footsteps and see how i went about making the big switch.
Most of the work for the next year will be HD broadcast, while i plan to rent the decks for mastering, i plan to shoot HDV and ingest DVCPRO HD with the kona card.
As for storage, I'm not sure...there are so many options out there.
I've read through all of Shane's blogs which talk a lot about storage.
Caldigit is getting great press but it looks like a Raid system could be put together a bit cheaper.
I've made my money in this business without having to spend a lot on gear...and as a small business owner that's the idea.
So if i can save a few bucks, that would be good too.
I plan on using a dual 2.7 Ghx G5 with about 5 gig of Ram.
I would also like to run the other studio apps on this box...including the new studio apps, such as color.
when i bought this company, all this equipment was setup.
So this is my first time setting up a system of this size.
I've put together some great DV systems but that's nothing compared to the amount of money you could spend putting one of these HD systems together.
I started looking into feeder decks depending on what camera we shoot with...Sony has a nice unit for about $7500...it seems to have all the pro outputs including hd-sdi.
As for the video router...could you suggest where i might start to look for an item like that? Is anyone using something similar?

Multiple Users setup question

OK, It's been a while since I set up anything other than a basic profile in OS 9, but here is what I have. School situation with users with limited capabilities (Multiple Handicap class). Students just need access to basic applications that are installed on the local machine. There is one application that needs program access to a shared database on a network sharepoint, not user specific access, just general read/write to the records. Students have very inquisitive minds. They will explore anything they find, so all they need to actually see is the applications they need and the local documents folder for file saving. I set up just 1 local generic "student" limited user and set for "panels view" specifying which applications show up. I have forgotten how to set up the network share point access so it is mounted automatically at application launch (remembering password). It always asks for the keychain password. Also, once the sharepoint is mounted, a new panel appears with all the folders in that network directory visible. I need to have that sharepoint remain "invisible" to the users so they aren't able to tamper with the files. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. The kids are really missing their computers right now.
Thanks

New user - setup help!!

Hi,
Just put together the system below, didn't yet plug in any of the back panel extras. Memory in 1st purple slot (of purple, purple, green), CD on Primary master - top yellow IDE controller (IDE2?)
Evertyhing seems fine on swithch-on, leave the BIOS alone (except boot from CD), then config the SATA BIOS.
CD boots (Win XP Pro - no SPs). And the problems start - I get no response from pressing the f6 key (changed keyboads - no luck), then it freezes a bit later in, before it gets to the setup.
Anyone have any ideas, it's driving me mad!!
Thanks,
Andy

New user with questions on desktop software

Just picked up my curve, and what I was expecting when I downloaded the desktop software was to see a desktop version of the calendar, tasks, and contacts, thinking that I could more quickly add contacts, tasks and calendar dates using my computer, then syncing them to the blackberry, but it doesn't appear that I can do that on my computer, is that correct?
I don't use Outlook either if that makes a difference.
What I'm trying to do in the long run, is to get rid of my palm, and have all of that info in my BB. With the palm, I like it because I can open all the apps on my computer, make changes and addition, then sycn it with my palm, I thought that the BB worked the same way.

I loaded clips into iDVD (HDVD?). Since they were three different subjects. I split them into three different projects. But now I want to add one project onto the end of the other. I know this must be possible, but can't figure out how. I tried importing, but I get an error message that it won't parse!?! I don't have the exact wording since I am at work on my pitiful Windows PC.

Forgot password on my ibook g4 used command s to setup a new user account but now everytime i start it, it starts in setup account how do i fix it

i have a apple ibook g4 and dont know the password so i followed the command s directions to enter single user mode and fsk to set up a new user account adter it rebooted       it reboots into new user setup were i have followed all the steps and completed them    then a restart is required only evrytime it boots back up im forced to setup again.   i was able to use my ibook before because it logged in at start up but i was able to upgrade or make any real changes because i couldnt remember password
so now im even farther from being able to use my ibook    does anyone have a fix i do not have any disc so cant try that unless you coukd also provide a place to get it

Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

New user/account in Mail - how do I get Set-up assistant off?

Hi,
I am helping a friend set up their new Mac Pro. They have never owned a computer - and they are using Leopard.
The outgoing mail server, etc... isn't working. I want to just get him into Mail Preferences and set up the accounts there.
However the Set-up assistant keeps saying "Welcome to Mail" and he can't seem to get past this (according to him on the phone)...
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Please clarify: if he can't get past Welcome to Mail, how does he know the outgoing server will not work?
If there is one account set up, you can hold down the Option key when clicking on the + to add an account, and bypass the account setup assistant.
You could create a New User Account on your Mac, and as that New User setup one account, and then email him the com.apple.mail.plist file from that New User Home Directory/Library/Preferences -- archived to properly email I would expect would be needed. If he then replaced that file, if one exists, in his Home directory/same location, then at least one account should be ready to go when he next launches Mail.
More info, please.
Ernie
