Prepping my PB for sale...

I'm about to sell my PowerBook and purchase a MacBook, and I want to prep my computer for sale, without deleting files and software.
What's the easiest way to deauthorize the necessary programs? I know about deauthorizing iTunes, I'm assuming I should remove my info from my Mail and chat programs. Anything else critical that needs to be done?
Someone suggested creating a New User account, then deleting mine, so that they're ready to go.
Oh, and I also have an iPhone and this is the computer I've synced it on. Any preperations I need to do for that?
Thanks in advance.

*I just want someone to let me know that this is the best way to delete my user account and create a new one, but I need to make sure that my files and applications stay intact.*
Those are a bit contradictory goals. First, there's only one way to delete your account without erasing the machine and doing an Erase & Install: you have to create another admin user account, log into it, and delete the original. If you installed your applications the normal way, they should reside in /Applications, not in /Users/your username/Applications, so they're available for all current or future users. As for *your files*, why would you want the new user to have them? Those are private and shouldn't be transfered. Finally, for all Apple apps that didn't come with the machine and 3rd-party apps you installed separately, you need to include the installation disks and manuals; otherwise, what you're doing is illegal. You might want to reconsider why selling the computer tomorrow is so urgent.

Prepping my touch for sale...

I am going to prep my 2nd gen 16gb iTouch for sale since I just bought an iPhone.
Is there anyway to keep the apps I have on there, but remove all my account information? Or should I just do a restore/wipe?

restoring your iPod to new should do it.
you will use your iPhone with the same iTunes account, so you'll just be able to sync the apps to it.

I am readying a Dual G5 for sale on eBay.
What is the best way to securely erase the hard drive so an identity theif cannot mine it for files?
I performed a clean install of the original OS from the install discs. I chose Erase and Install from the options.
Is that good enough? Does it completely erase all traces of previous files?

Here's my method.
This is the way I prepare old machines that came with OS X installed, which allows them to act just like one from the factory. First, boot with the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with the machine, run the extended tests, and make sure everything passes. Then, boot with the restore disk that came with the machine, erase and zero the HD (as discussed in those articles). When that's finished, reformat it Mac OS Extended, install the OS 9 drivers (if the machine can boot into OS 9), and then restore the software.
When finished, click on the restart button, holding down the CMD+S keys. This puts the machine into single-user mode and gives you an Unix command line terminal screen. When the text stops scrolling, type in this command and click the return key:
shutdown -h now
This shuts down the computer; the next time it is turned on, the Setup Assistant will appear and the new user will get to personalize it. This also alleviates the necessity of presetting any display parameters, internet and e-mail settings, etc. As long as the monitor can hook up to the machine, the OS will select a usable resolution and the user can use the Display prefpane to suit their needs. They'll also have to run Software Update and bring everything up to the latest version.

Prepping Leopard Mac for Sale and removing old details

Hi all,
I'm about to sell my Mac Mini with Leopard installed on it, and I want to remove all my details and user accounts from it, preferably in such a way that the Mac is at the same state it was when I bought it - i.e. asking me for my details, etc.
I realise I have the option of doing a wipe and reinstall and switching it off before entering my details, but this has the weakness that none of the apps that came with it will be installed.
As I'm sure most of you will know, Windows has a tool called sysprep which does what I want to do - does anyone know how to do this for OS X? Is it even possible?
Cheers
Chris

The easiest way is to wipe your HD from Disk Utility I would use the 35 pass option which is time consuming. Then Put your OS install disc that came with your computer in and run thru the install process. Once it is complete it it will restart and prompt for details, At this point you are ready to shutdown and ship to the new owner. I have done this with a couple old computers never had an issue.

Preparing my MacBook for sale...

Hiall,
I am planning on upgrading my MacBook to a MacBook Pro in a few weeks, and want to figure out how to best prep the MB for sale, system wise. I'm currently running 10.4.11, on a 2.16 C2D machine. I've just upgraded the RAM to 4 GB.
I'd like to scrub the drive, and re-install the OS to Leopard. What's the easiest way to do this...should I upgrade, then do a scrub and reinstall? Basically, I'd like the computer to as fresh as if...well, they were opening the box from Apple themselves. I'm most likely selling to a friend, but would still like to get all of my personal files off the machine anyway.
Any advice anyone could give me would be great!
Thanks so much in advance,
Liz

Thanks! I just ordered a copy of Leopard, which I will provide to the buyer, along with the original Tiger disks should they decide to downgrade later on.
I'm not super worried about my data (since it'll most likely be someone I know), just want to make sure that she'll have a fresh computer to play with (she was planning on buying a new MB, but it'd help me out if she bought mine so I can get a new toy!!!)
Thanks so much!

Prepping iPhone for sale?

Looking through the support communities I see lots of problems when someone sells a iPhone, but does not prep it for sale. I know most know how to erase the iphone, but it seems with the newest IOS that people are not turning off all the security features, like logging out of iCloud, and turning off "Find My Phone". Does anyone, or has anyone posted a procedure on how to do this?? Just wondering?

Thanks Meg, now if we could only get this to required reading before you sell and ship your old iPhone to a new buyer.

Help Needed: Prepping a MacBook Pro for sale

I'm going to be selling my MacBook Pro 15", and I was wondering if there are any reference lists with steps to prepare the laptop, namely, how to:
- remove my own files;
- remove any identifying indications on any software;
- generally making sure that all of "me" is no longer on this laptop.
I appreciate any help, and welcome any tips beyond the topics above.

From Kappy:
Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

Ho do i prepare my Motorola Droid for sale on eBay?

Just got my iPhone 4 today and plan on selling my Droid on ebay. What do I need to do to prep it for sale? I want to make sure all my personal info is off of it as well as make sure when they activate it it doesn't interrupt cell service on my iPhone.
Thanks in advance!

Make sure everything you want is backed up from your sd card, go into Settings- SD Card & Phone Storage. Hit unmount SD card and Format SD Card when it shows up. Then mount the sd card back. To clear off the phone, go to settings-privacy and choose Factory Data reset. That should clear everything off.

Query for Sales Order Analysis

Dear Experts
I have written a Query for Sales Order Analysis and would like to have help on this.
The query is used for generating daily report for Sales Order on number of documents (Sales Order), total amount of sales orders and total GP of Sales Order. The query is written as below:
SELECT T0.[DocNum], SUM(T0.DocTotal) AS 'Total', SUM(T0.U_Total_GP) AS 'Total GP'
FROM ORDR T0 WHERE T0.[DocDate] =[%0] GROUP BY T0.[DocNum] ORDER BY T0.[DocNum]
where U_Total_GP is a UDF for storing the GP of each order.
After executing the query, a selection criteria of date appears and after a date is selected, the report shown information required. However, the query does not calculate column total for total amount and total GP. Although I know the total for each column can be displayed by pressing "Ctrl" + Click on the column title, it would have to be done from time to time.
Therefore, I would like to modify my query in order to calculate the column totals when executed. Are there any suggestions for this?
Thank you
Regards
Elton

Hi Elton,
Try this:
SELECT T0.[DocNum], SUM(T0.DocTotal) AS 'Total', SUM(T0.U_Total_GP) AS 'Total GP'
FROM ORDR T0 WHERE T0.[DocDate] =[%0] GROUP BY T0.[DocNum]
Union ALL
SELECT '', SUM(T0.DocTotal) AS 'Total', SUM(T0.U_Total_GP) AS 'Total GP'
FROM ORDR T0 WHERE T0.[DocDate] =[%0]
ORDER BY T0.[DocNum]
Thanks,

Workflow for Sales Order Release via Status Profile

Dear all,
i want to make a workflow for sales order which have 4 User Status in One status profile.
Once Event triggered for sales order
1.   Mail should go to main authority with sales order number.
2. Once authority will do some changes in the required field then he/she changes
     the user status-1 from defauts as per line Item and mail should go to department no-1 (Head authority).
3. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-2 from user status-1
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-2 (Head authority).
4. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-3 from user status-2
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-3 (Head authority).
5. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-4 from user status-3
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-4 (Head authority) .
and parrally for each changes of Status mail should also go to User (Event Creator).
6. Finally mail sholud go to User as you are permitted to do next business transaction for this sales order
Please tel me the process as i am very new this topic and i am always going to stuck in Binding.
please help me out.
Thank You

Hi Neeraj,
First of all start with SWELS and SWEL T-Code to check if any standard event is getting triggered or not. If event is getting triggered, then use the same event to trigger the workflow; otherwise create a custom event of BO and use the same to trigger the workflow.
Hope you are aware of T-Code SWO1 and delegation of BO. The BO used for your requirement will be BUS2000115.
As you want the workflow to get triggered only for one status profile and one of its status, so use check function module. There set the condition for you status profile and status.
The FM which you will be using the most is CRM_ORDER_READ. To read the status, you can also use CRM_STATUS_READ_OW.
Now simply make the approval steps in the workflow using activity. In the activity, you can use the standard method USERSTATUSPOPUP to send the workitem for approval. In each step use the same activity with different agents as approvers.
Just go with these things and let me know if you get stuck up somewhere.

Guddan

User exit for Sales order

hi,
i need to eliminate leading zeros for PO number which comes in SO created trough ALE.i found the enhancement for the FM idoc_input_orders.in that enahancement we have 12 FM's.my Leading zeros are comming for field belnr which comes in e1edk01 segment of idoc orders05.now i had coded my part of coding in FM exit_saplved.._oo1 and i had activated that.but it is not working for me.than i tought of going to other FM exit_sapl..._009.in which i'm not able go into the include either.plz help me out.thank you.

Hi, Krishna!
With IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS during IDoc interpretation PO number is assigned to XVBAK-BSTKD field which is later used for sales order creation with reference to PO.
So all you need is to use some customer exit with changing parameters containing XVBAK after IDoc interpretation is completed. For example you can use EXIT_SAPLVEDA_009 which is called at the end of IDoc check after interpretation.

RBA GATP check is not getting invoked for Sales Order

Hi Everyone,
RBA GATP check is not getting invoked for Sales order.
I maintained the configuration settings for 'Rules-Based Availability Check', APO general settings (check mode, check instruction), carried out integrated rule maintenance, Rule determination for the combination of order type & product, associated the check mode to product master. Also maintained all the settings in ECC towards Req class, Req type, checking control etc.
However, sales order is not invoking RBA Check though it is showing up the 'Rule' icon in the screen. Also, in the APO Availability check in Sales order when I click onto 'check instruction', I get the checking mode that pertains to RBA for business event 'A' (Sales order). Though I have not maintained any stock for the main material for which I have the sales order, yet system is confirming any quantity that I put in.
I would expect that system would propose the same material in an alternate location where we have stock through RBA.
Request you to share ideas on this.
Regards,
Avijit Dutta

Hi Avijit,
You should used No Checking Horizon in Checking instructions and also Check your rule control settings.
What you have defined in 1st and 2nd steps. Check whether product substitution is carried out or Location Substitution.
Thanks,

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.

Centralised Report for Sales/Purchase

Hi guys,
One of my client needs a Centralised report for Sales & Purchase for a particular period .
Like we are mainting multiple taxcodes like
BED,eCess,HeCEss,
VAT 4,VAT 2,VAT12.5,
VAT10.3,TAXEXEMPTED,ETC...
So every month they need to know total sales and purchase value in a single report to be displayed respective of each tax code
lie
Taxcode 1 = tax Value1,total value
Taxcode 2 = tax value 2,total value
Total Sales value = Sum of all tax values, sum of total values
Total Purchase value = Sum of all tax values, sum of total values
And needs Item Wise Sales For Each customer.
I tried in system defined Sales and Purchase analysis report but our client needs the above type of report..
Pls give us some solution for this..

Vams

Crystal Report for Sales, Delivery and Payment.

Hi Guys,
Need some expert advice over here. Currently, our sales team are using 3 separate report, one report on sales per month for each specific customers, one report on delivered amount per month for specific customers again and the last one report on payment received per month for specific customers as well.
We have the idea of joining this 3 report so that I can report on sales, delivery and payment all at once so that they can see the trend better. However, after trying for quite a few times, we fail to create a common joining between ORDR, ODLN and ORCT. Is there any possible way to work something out ?
I have thought of using subreport, but I just cant find the way to plug in the figure correctly.
Need some advice over there.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Alex

Based on what you have told me, then you should then join Sales Order, Delivery, Invoice and Incoming Payments into one.
The reason I say Invoice table also is because, you cannot directly link Delivery and Incoming Payments window.
Also you it is not enough that you link the ORDR, ODLN and ORCT, you will need to get the details from RDR1 and DLN1.
In SAP Business One, each line in SAP Business One can have a different Delivery documnet.
The TrgetEntry, TargetType will give you this information. For example, if a line for Sales Order has TargetType 15, then TrgetEntry will be the DocEntry in the ODLN. But if it TargetType is 13 it means the Sales order was converted directly to and Invoice and bypassed the creation of Delivery step, which is possible in SAP.
So here is how I think you will need to link Sales order and Delivery
RDR1.TrgetEntry INNER JOIN DLN1.DocEntry AND
RDR1.TargetType INNER JOIN DLN1.ObjType AND
RDR1.LineNum INNER JOIN DLN1.BaseLine
Now this could get a little more complicated if you do partial deliveries. For example if a line in your Sales Order has say 10 items and 6 of them are delivered using Delivery Note 123 and the remaining are delivered using Delivery Note 124, then the join will give you 2 different lines.
So basically you will need to link the tables in this fashion
ORDR <-> RDR1 <-> DLN1 <-> INV1 <-> RCT2 <-> ORCT
Unfortunately, this linking process can get complicated if you do not follow certain steps, like for example if you do not create a Delivery Note and converted your Sales order to Invoice. Then the link would be
ORDR <-> RDR1 <-> INV1 <-> RCT2 <-> ORCT
I hope I didn't confuse you.
