Preparing Used Ipad for Sale

I am preparing to sell my 1st Generation Ipad. In order to reset everything to its original settings and erase everything that is on it do I simply go to "General" -----> "Settings" ----> "Reset All Settings"? Any other steps I need to be aware about? Thank You.

What are the benefits/limitations in using iPad for sales people?

I've been wanting to know if I could use the iPad to do my sales job instead of having to carry around a Windows laptop. I would obviously still have the laptop and prob would create Powerpoint presentations, Word and Excel docs, but the main use would be Powerpoint and web.
Anyone have any real experience they can share?
Thanks!!

I've used it to display my photographic skills. I've found that it's much less "intrusive" on the potential client.

So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error.

A wag at this. A port issue?
"Apple Push Notification network setup
When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
be open."

Help Prepare Macbook Pro for Sale

Hello,
I have a mid 2010 Macbook pro that I am trying to restore to factory settings so I can sell it. It is currently running OS X 10.8.5 and I do not have the original start up disks (I think 'out of the box' it came with snow leopard). When I got the laptop, the person had installed Mountain Lion for me.
When I followed the tips from all forums I have found online (power down, on start up hold command>r or option>command>r, disk utility, erase, reinstall OS X) but when I erase the hard drive and quit disk utility, I am only given the option to install OS X Mavericks. I try to go through the steps, but when prompted to give my Apple ID, it denies it since I have not purchased it.
Can anyone help me out here? I want to install Lion, not Mavericks.
Thanks!

IPad for sale

While there are many people who do like the iso7, there are many many many more who do not so ..... This can only mean one thing .... IPads for sale !!! Since Apple gives me no other choice or option this is the only option left. I will go to a store I know still has the older version and scoop one up. This is a terrible way to move technology along. Especially since 95 % of iPad users aren't rich and could just toss it and buy a another one. At least this way I can get some of my money back !!!

It's rather surprising to think apple actually believe that ios7 will actually attract as many (or hopefully more?) previous non iPad users than their dictatorial agenda repels.
Power to the people who enjoy ios7 and ignore the fact that they have no choice, I remember being a happy user of apple products but how can this end up being good for business when the competition supplies anything yo want, the only Unique Selling Point as far as apple is concerned is their total ignorance of customer's opinion.
My apple products will gather dust, with the occasional use but change is coming and the multiple thousands I have spent at apple are now at an end.

Preparing an iMac for sale

What is the best way to prepare an iMac with Mountain Lion for sale? A similar question has been asked before in this forum but I am not sure that the answers are still accurate because of Apple's use of the App Store to deliver operating systems and updates. I can easily do a fresh install of Mountain Lion and I think that this will erase any personal data from the computer. However, doesn't this link the operating system to my iTunes account and password?

Why do you say that? I thought an https connection over 3g is no less (or more) secure than an https connection over wifi or hardline connection?
Personally, I never use web sites for financial transactions though on my mobile devices. I prefer to use the bank or financial institutions own app (most seem to have one). I know my bank's app uses strong encryption from the very initiation of the session.

How do I prepare my iMac for sale? And best practice for transferring media to a new system.

This is my first time posting in a forum, so I will apologize in advance if I'm doing something wrong. I've tried to search for a very clear answer to my questions in the existing discussions, but have not had much luck.
I ordered a Macbook Pro today and would like to sell my current iMac to supplement some of the cost. I purchased my iMac in March of 2011 with OS X Snow Leopard preinstalled. I've since updated to Mountain Lion. When my computer came in it did not have OS DVDs, so I am not sure exactly how to take it back to factory default and remove ALL of my information safely in order to prepare it for sale. I'm afraid to tell it to format if I am going to need a boot disc/drive to reinstall the OS. I've been trying to research all day and have learned that I will not be able to sell it with the current OS, only the one that came with the computer at the time of purchase (to the best of my understanding).
Secondary to all of this, I have a question about backing up info and porting it to my new system. I have run the Time Machine backup to my external hard drive. However, I DO NOT want to port it to my new MBP as an image of my past machine. I did that when I got my iMac from my old MBP and my iMac thinks it is a MBP (MBP EFI/SMC Firmware Update Icons in my system utilities folder as well as identified as a Macbook Pro on my network). I've never been able to get all of these things to go away and I feel like it's chewing up hard drive space for no purpose whatsoever. I also worry that it could create system issues that I'm just not savy enough to catch before they are beyond control. That being said, I'd like to begin fresh with my new MBP. What is the best method of bringing my photos from iPhoto and music/movies/books/etc from iTunes to my new system? My word documents are easy enough...I keep 3 flash drives updated with them at all times.
Thanks in advance!

Whoever said you can't sell you iMac with the current Mac OS X is wrong, I believe.
Unfortunately, it is not wrong.
Any OS purchased/obtained at the app store - as is the case here - is not transferable. The license is tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain it. The SLA states that the seller needs to erase the drive and reinstall the original system.
@ Kamikazwe:
You can call Apple and give them your serial number and they will send you copies of your original disks at a nominal charge.
You do need to use your original Snow Leopard disk, boot from it, erase the drive, and reinstall Snow Leopard. The buyer of the machine will need to purchase his/her own copy of Lion or Mountain Lion with their own Apple ID or they will never be able to reinstall or update the OS.
SLA Excerpt:
3. Transfer.
A. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred
together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or
other storage device; and (iv) the party receiving the Apple Software accepts the terms andcconditions of this License. For purposes of this License, if Apple provides an update (e.g., version 10.8 to 10.8.1) to the Apple Software, the update is considered part of the Apple
Software and may not be transferred separately from the pre-update version of the Apple Software.
B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating system software that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) and permanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that: the transfer must include all of the Original
Apple OS, including all its component parts, printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the party receiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to
accept the terms and conditions of the Original Apple OS license.

Using BAPIs for sales contracts

Hi,
I'm having this situation that I have to upload sales contracts into SAP from flat files. We planned to use BAPIs for this purpose. Is it a good option. Can anyone suggest better ideas. If BAPI is a good option, has anyone used standard BAPIs for sales contracts updation in SAP System. If yes, can you guide me through the process.

Hi,
You can start off with a program with:
Get the filename of the convert file
IMPORT /SAPDMC/LSMEMORY FROM MEMORY ID '/SAPDMC/LSMW'.
V_PROJECT = /SAPDMC/LSMEMORY-PROJECT. " Project
V_SUBPROJ = /SAPDMC/LSMEMORY-SUBPROJ. " Subproject
V_OBJECT = /SAPDMC/LSMEMORY-OBJECT. " Object
IF V_PROJECT IS INITIAL.
    V_PROJECT = 'XXXX_LOC'.
ENDIF.
IF V_SUBPROJ IS INITIAL.
    V_SUBPROJ = 'SD'.
ENDIF.
IF V_OBJECT IS INITIAL.
    V_OBJECT = 'XXXX_VA41'.
ENDIF.
Function will return path of converted file by LSMW object
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_FILE_INFO_GET'
    EXPORTING
      PROJECT           = V_PROJECT " /sapdmc/lsmemory-project
      SUBPROJ           = V_SUBPROJ " /sapdmc/lsmemory-subproj
      OBJECT            = V_OBJECT   " /sapdmc/lsmemory-object
      X_ONLY_USED_FILES = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      FILE_CONV         = V_DSNAME   " Path of converted file
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_SUCH_OBJECT    = 1
      OTHERS            = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
I am not much of an LSMW expert so wont be able to comment much.

Ok, seriously what do use iPad for if you have a Mac and iPhone?

I have the MacBook pro and an iPhone 4, I recently bought an iPad and at first I loved it and enjoyed watching videos and browsing the web ect... But since I was so used to using my iPhone for these situTiobs I find myself reaching more for my iPhone when I want to look something up or check email ect... What do most people use the device for?

I essentially use it to consume content, whether that's watching movies and shows, emails and surfing. I also use it for grocery shopping (using the Ocado app) and I'm really getting into it using FaceTime and Skype for video conferencing. The iPad 2 is really well suited for video conferencing - much better than my MBP because I can flick between camera's if I want show something other than my face off, and easily walk around with it.
I also use it quite heavily to control my MacMini which is my HTPC - I do this using Logmein which is a really great app - in fact it's almost as good as using Back to My Mac on my MBP, which is what I used to use to control my Mac Mini.
I'm about to experiment to see if I can use the iPad to list an auction on eBay. I've already got my pictures loaded into the Photo app, and my descriptions written using Pages and stored in a Dropbox folder. All I have to do now is troubleshoot getting everything into eBay using either Safari or Atomic browser.
Ideally I'd like my iPad to be a replacement for my MBP - I think it will be quite some time before that happens, but so far it's a great mobile companion.

Problems putting a keynote presentation on 30 ipads for sales team

I need to put the Keynote App along with a keynote presentation on 30 separate iPads from sales people around the country. They are all synced to their personal accounts. When I sync to my computer, their apps get deleted, and then when they re-sync to their computer, Keynote and the presentation is deleted. Is there a workaround?
Also, most don't have email set up on their ipads, so I have to install the keynote presentation through the iTunes App window. All are PC people too.
Ugh! Got to be a way?

Why didn't you do it properly from the start and have them pay for the Keynote app via their own iTunes account (which you could have reimbursed them for) and then just email them the presentation/place it on a website for them to download so they could sync it to their iPads via iTunes?
