Push config changes to lab of 100 Apple computers running Cs6
I have a 100 computer lab with adobe cs6 installed I would like to know if there is a way to customize the adobe default settings. I would prefer not to have to touch every computer to make the changes.
And for what application(s)? all programs use specific config files in the user folders, which of course can be backed-up and copied, but all of them are different and different steps may apply...

All Apple Computers running extremely slow
All iMac and MacBook Pro Computers in my house have become extremely slow in the past month or so. I expanded the memory in all of them to the max but the problem has worsened especially with the MacBook Pro. Before the expansion, I upgraded to 10.9.1. What could be the problem?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Here's a brief summary: Copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of damage. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
Others may offer you advice based on the output of the above script. They don't speak for me and I don't endorse their comments. Only someone who understands the script and has tested it is qualified to interpret the output.

I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me to sign into my account. At some points it's a vicious circle because it asks for a password at key times when trying to correct the problem. Note that the new email address shows when I log into my Apple account and shows it was verified. For some reason the system isn't updating to the new email in ALL places.
I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks!Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

%ONLINE-SP-6-REGN_TIMER: multiple line cards down after config change
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help.
I recently changed the entire configuration on two 6509 switches, and the fibre modules on slot 7 and 8 have gone down on BOTH switches. It would be easy to say that its a hardware fault but I cannot understand how module 7 and 8 can go down on both switches. Initially I thought it maybe due to IOS bug 22-33.SXI2a.bin" so I upgraded it to s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF12a.bin but it still down.
These are the actions I have carrried out to try resolve the issue:
- Reverted back to orginal configs but no luck
- Tried to use "power enable" command but the status light on both modules seems to turn red and then go off again.
- I have also tried to put one of the fibre modules into a different slot but no joy
- Upgraded the IOS from 22-33.SXI2a. to 122-18.SXF12a
I am running out of ideas.. can anyone help ? I am sure that hardware fault cannot occur on BOTH modules 7 & 8 on BOTH switches after config change.
The error in the log shows that modules "failed to bring online because of registration timer event". I understand this means that it is unable to download the image within the allocated time.. maybe I could manually copy the image onto the line card if that is possible ?? any ideas ?

The reason i am suspecting the EEM configuration is because the error in the log seems to suggest the module failed due to registration timer event.

SIP stops when upgrading from ASA from 8.4.1 to 8.4(2)8 w/ out config change? Why?
I have to be missiong something small in my config.
If I upgrade my ASA 5510 which I am routing and NATing off of, from 8.4.1 to 8.4.2.8, SIP stops. All phones go dead.
If I roll bck to 8.4.1, SIP comes up.,... Go bck to 8.4(2)8 nd SIP goes down.....
This is without mking any config changes.
I have looked at it so long, I must be overlooking something simple, simple, simple...Have spent sIx hours in past 24 w/ Cisco TAC and they have a tin of caps as have I but can't figure out why there is a denial of SIP from inside outside and outside inside to/from sip providers three IP addresses. Have created new access lists, new access groups to allow all 3 ip's in & out, increased timeout, bypassed IPS, have both sip UDP & tcp allowed in/out, specified inspection to approve any any for all sip protocols in/out to/from Lync & mediation and nada.
To answer another question, yes I'm certain config doesn't change... I reloaded tge same running config from a bkup just to make sure.....
What I see in the logs coming in/out is the call does make it all the way through the SSM to the ASA..
What happens there is the head scratcher...
SiP even though allowed and even though I've specified it to push through inspection On ASA side is denied based on inspection rule...
I also tried using another one of my (unused) public IPs for only SIP thinking that maulybe there was a core conflict with multiple services NATd to the same public IP but that also did nothing.
On topology I only have a single location so I'm using my 5510 to route as well...
Have 1 IIS web server l, SQL, (ports clised except to obe vendor and am allowing via access list by their IP and ipsec,) Exchange, Lync, Ironport, Endpoint and everything else is 80/80...
Everything is on Server 08r2 w/ exception of web server and two boxes ( one stand-alone & one VM on hyper-v) I am running Server8 for Microsoft TAP engineering / validation airlift. Neither of those are attached to UC/UM at all...
I'm using dynect from dyndns for outside network web services and just piggybacking on time Warner metro e for internal (no physical DNS server)
When I look at caps everything is identical in the tcp and UDP trace even on sip except for the denial...
Which caps/logs would 'y'all like to see and I'll post em when I get home....
Is there a link to bug notes Jullio? Is it sip specific? Any possibility of it being just a name/cosmetic big I can force a work around to?
I recall when Asa first was released I had to specify port 25 allow instead of being able to simply say allow smtp .. That took 2 weeks but it allowed for a work around so whatever I can do/try I'm willing!! Someone may wanna tell TAC if it's a bug because after 6 hours yesterday they are saying there's not a bug... :)
Thanks all!!!! -

I changed my password on my apple id account now I can't log in at all
My wife changed her password on her Apple ID account, now it won't allow her to access her account at all, and when she clicks on the "Forgot Password" it will not let her open the page. Has anyone got any suggestions to help?
That is because Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase or download it. So you will have to use your old apple id and password to update the app.
You can try deleting the app and then downloading it with your new id - not 100% sure this will work. -
My new Iphone 4s using the Icloud, will not push calendar changes back to my windows 7 laptop Outlook 10. It does perfectly push calendar changes from my laptop to the iphone, but it will not work the other way. We've checked the box in Itunes that says "sync the phone using WIFI" per the instructions from the Apple support people. any great ideas?
"Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
I now have one very ****** off wife. -
I had to change my email for my apple acct on my iPhone e 4. When I go add an app or update an app the old apple email comes up. I can't delete an apple store app. So how do I refresh the apple store app?
Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe -
Updated my iphone4 with ios6.1 software. App store is not working. Tried rebooting, restoring, changing date, signing with another apple id etc. but no luck. can someone please help?
I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID
Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc. -

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.caek1 wrote:

It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).
You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.
