Possible to have different Startup-profiles?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is somehow possible to have different startup-profiles. I just ordered a MacBook Pro and would like to have different startup and setups to choose from. I could make myself different userprofiles - but that way I think I don´t have access on the same Mail and iChat data - right?
Any ideas? At home I would like to have a startup with iChat and Mail and other things and when I´m using it on a concert I want to have a different setup without Bluetooth on and sharing and just very sleek.
Best regards - Christoph

HI Christopher,
Congrats on your new MBPro!
As administrator of your own computer you can set up different user accounts/profiles:
Adding a new user account to your computer
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
Now, each account would have it's own name and login password. Each account has access to it's own software, ie., Mail and iChat.
You can set up Bluetooth to pair with various hardware such as cell phones/mice/headphones/keyboards or printers.
You can set up your MBP to login certain software at startup. Example, I use Safari and my internet connection software daily so I have that set up to launch at startup -- saves time.

Scroll down toward the bottom of that page. All the specs and warranty info plus software are listed there.
You will love your MBP!

  • Is it possible to have different iTunes profiles?

    For example, my sister has her iPod and I have mine... we both listen to different music, so I wouldn't want her music being dumped into my iPod and vice versa. Is this possible to do?

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): iPod - Syncing Music
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista

  • Is it possible to have Different Interval Ranges for the same Doc Type

    Dear All,
    Here is the issue.Is it possible to have different interval ranges for the same document type according to certain condition.Like my client , wants his interval ranges  be divided according to region(which are many)
    Regards,
    Sameer Jalees

    Hello,
    As you know we can only assign one number range for External and one number range group for internal in the sales document type.
    If you want different number ranges based on the regions, then as Jignesh suggested, you need to go for an enhancement.
    Use the exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in program MVA45AFZZ, include a Z table with region as a critera and number range group for different numbers based on the regions. Talk to the business and get more details, get the help of ABAP team for technical details.

    Is it possible to have my account name different from the name on the registered credit card? My mother is allowing me to use her credit card for my Apple ID but on things like the iCloud it shows her name, since that's the name on the credit card. So, is there a way for me to have my name as the main account?

  • Is it possible to have different service pack between Exchange servers.

    Is it possible to have CAS Exchange 2007 running service Pack 1 and Mailbox server 2007 running SP2? In my env I need to have SP1 running on CAS server for some applications but also need to install SP2 for migration. Application cannot be upgraded so
    I am thinking to keep one CAS running SP1 and upgrade other Exchange 2007 servers to SP2. Please suggest.

    Hi,
    It is recommended to have the same service pack level on all Exchange 2007 servers, different service pack level may have potential effects.
    Here is a related thread for your reference.

  • Is it possible to have different headers for each page for the Pages app?

    I just purchased the Pages app for my ipad and it happens to be one of the best apps i've ever bought.  However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to have different headers for each page of the same document.  Is this possible to do?

    Tommy,
    One of the limitations of Pages for iOS on your iPad is that Pages can't create sections per se. The best you can do is insert page breaks and then assign different columns to that page. The problem comes with the headers and footers - in iOS Pages, the headers and footers apply to the whole document, not the individual sections as you would find in Pages '09 on OSX.
    The workaround is to create your document on OSX, insert the needed sections and headers, save, then transfer the Pages document to your iPad either as a working "blank" or as a new document. The headers and footers will reflect the sections you created in OS X, but you won't be able to add any new ones or new sections on your iPad.

  • Is it possible to have different margin settings for odd and even pages?

    Hi guys.

  • 8120 BlackBerry Pearl: Is it possible to have different tones for messages and phonecalls?

    Hey all.
    My Dad's just got a BlackBerry & would like to have a different tone for his message alert and phonecalls.
    Is this possible?
    If so...how do we do it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Oh yes... your alerts, ringtones and notifications are very customizable.
    1. Select the Profiles icon

    3. If you want to edit the tones assigned to the device applications then select the last option, Advanced
    (some older models and OS 4.1 and below will not have the "Advanced" step--if Advanced is not present go directly to Step 4 below).
    4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
    Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
    Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)
    5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)
    6. Select the application you wish to edit the tone / notification for
    7. You can now edit Out of Holster and In Holster tones/ notifications.

  • Is it possible to have different fields go to different pages?

    I have 6 fields that will serve to search records a button either hidden or not will then be called to branch to that page only if there are more than 1 records. Otherwise it will display the results on the same page, populating those fields that match the exact criteria. I'm guessing I need a process first to find out if there are more than 1 records found. Is it possible then to go to a different page from the process then select the record and return the values to the previous page. I was using LOV for this but the user doesn't want to do it this way. They want to enter as many values they think they need to find the records and display the results in a column based report.
    Now the user will then continue entering some other values in other fields and then submit the page. Submit saves the data into a table. Of course the user wants to use the mouse as little as possible and magically the application will go to the right place depending on the field where the enter key is pressed.
    Does anyone have done something like this?
    Could you give me some pointers?
    I really appreciate any help you could provide.
    Thanks
    juan

    Hi Juan,
    If you use a Text Field (always submits page when Enter pressed) field you will see that it calls a submitEnter() javascript function.
    This function is:
    function submitEnter(itemObj,e){
    var keycode;
    if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
    else if (e) keycode = e.which;
    else return true;
    if (keycode == 13){
    doSubmit(itemObj.id);
    return false;
    }else{
    return true;
    You could create your own function that sets the value of a hidden page item (say, P1_PAGE) and then calls the submitEnter() function. Or, you create a replacement to the submitEnter() function to do both. You would need to use a normal Text Field item and add a call to your function by adding onkeypress="return yourfunction('Page', this, event) into the HTML Form Element Attributes for your item.
    Then, when the page is submitted, the branch should be to &P1_PAGE. instead of a number. P1_PAGE should have a default value to ensure that there is always a page to go to in the branch.

How do I set up separate profiles for each so I don't have to set up the iPad and iPhone each time I sync?

  • Is it possible to have different versions of one presentation?

    I use keynote presentations for two different courses. Often I am a little bit faster or slower with one group, but I each group will see all the slides one day or the other. So my problem is, that I have to remember for each slide, if I've already used it or not or in which group I've used it. As the slides get more and more, this is getting annoying.
    So, is there a possibility to mark the slides in some way? It would be nice to have tags or groups for the slides (in my case the two groups) and each slide belongs to none, one or many of them. And then, when I want to play the slideshow I can choose for which group. Is something like that possible?
    I am still using Keynote '08 (4.0.4). So maybe there is something like that in Keynote '09 (or a new version)?
    I would be very thankful for any information

    Hi,
    from the panel on the left hand side (where you see all the slides vertically), you can select one with your mouse and slightly drag it to the right, so as to create a sort of indentation.
    would that work?

  • Is it possible to have different tabs print with different page setups.

    I would like to use specific page setup parameters (under the File menu) for printing from a particular web site, but those parameters do not work well for printing from other web sites. I would like to be able to specify different page setup parameters for each open tab. Is this possible?

    That might be possible via a GreaseMonkey user script, by setting the '''@include''' address to a specific domain.
    http://wiki.greasespot.net/User_script
    This is an example of a script I found a few years ago to bypass a fault in Firefox when printing the Courier font.

    var oldff=ff;
    ff = ff.replace('Courier New', '1234567890qwertyFONT');

  • Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

    Hi,
    I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
    mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
    about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
    is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine  of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
    I have two questions:
    1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
    2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
    Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
    issue, but there is no answer :(.
    Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

      Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA.  Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
    a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
    Does this make any sense?
    Any tips are greatly appreciated.  The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello M,
    Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
    is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
    I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
    Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
    Hope this helps
