Reinstalling OSX while keeping user and applications

Hi there,
The system perl version is a very old version that is non-standard with 10.6.8 and there a couple other anomalies that are non-standard. is there an easy way to reinstall OSX and keep my user data and applications? If so, how can I complete this task?
Cheers

An Archive and Install does that:

Clean install of OSX while keeping settings and still cleaning out old junk

I there a way to do a clean install of Snow Leopard without having to completely reconfigure all my preferences, settings, and applications, but still clean out all the unnecessary and old unneeded junk that's hidden all over the computer?

Nope. The Mac OS X System and Library folder doesn't contain your unneeded and unnecessary junk all over your computer. Your Home folder and Library folder contained within, contain that junk you must be referring to. If you want to do some "Spring Cleaning", back up your data, reformat, and install fresh. Then you can install what you want, without your unneeded and unnecessary junk. Or, go through your Home/Library folder and delete the files for programs you no longer have installed. You can also go through your Applications and Utilities folder and delete programs you no longer use.

I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

I have created a second user on my imac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Anyone else have this problem?

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

Confussing between Database User and Application User in Discoverer

Hi All,
I am new to Discoverer.
Please let me know the difference between Database User and Application User in Discoverer Administrator as well as in Discoverer Desktop Editions.
1) While I am trying to connect to Discoverer Desktop, I am unable to connect to it with Apps Database User.
2) Where the Discoverer compenent will be installed and what the configuration settings need to done work on it.
Please let me know the answers soon.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello
I think a database user should pretty much be self explanatory - this is a user account that exists in the database. This account is created by your Database Administrator (DBA).
The second kind of user that Discoverer understands is a user that exists inside Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), formerly known as Oracle Applications, hence an application user. This user account gets created by the EBS system administrator.
Now, just because you're using EBS, it does not automatically follow that users will be application users. Let me explain.
Discoverer can be installed in one of two modes, standard mode and Applications mode.
The vast majority of organizations use standard mode which means they allow database users to access the system.
The only time that you will need an applications account is under the following two rules:
1. Your organization is using E-Business Suite, AND
2. Your Discoverer administrator has installed Discoverer in Applications mode.
Applicatons mode does not happen automatically, even if you have EBS, and you cannot install that mode by accident. You have to tell Discoverer that it is operating in that mode, provide some additional EBS account information, make security assignments and set users have to deliberately tell Discoverer they want to connect using an applications account.
May I suggest you get hold of a copy of the Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook that I wrote. That book explains in detail the differences between the modes. I also have a free white paper on my website that describes how to install Discoverer into Applications mode.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Can't reinstall osx lion from internet, and display a message"cannot find installation information ,please contact applecare, what should i do?

hello
I can't reinstall osx lion from internet, and display a message"cannot find installation information ,please contact applecare, what should i do?
thanks

I'm no Lion expert, but I believe you can boot from the Recovery partition by pressing the Command and R keys on startup, then reinstall.

I had to reinstall osx on my imac and now need to log back in to rstart the systemI fogot my name and password for the computer.How do I find it

I have had to reinstall osx and am now trying to log on to my power mac g5 and have forgotten my name and password
how do I find it?

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.
Or do you have Firmware Password Protection set up?

HT204053 3 iphones, 3 ipods and a pad...can we share music while keeping contacts and photos seperate but backed up with 1 apple id and 1 icloud?

I have an apple id account set up with an icloud; I would like to continue to share the music from my devices while keeping the contacts and photos seperate, is this possible? My wife and daughter received iphones for Christmas, I set up my daughters phone to my cloud and all of my contacts and photos ended up on her phone. Is there a way to keep them seperate in 1 cloud (with folders or something) or does each phone need its own icloud? And if so, can we still keep 1 apple id for music purchases or will we not be able to share music anymore? Thank you for any help you can provide, I am confused with all of this as we are fairly new to the apple world.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are separate things. You can keep using a single ID for iTunes and use separate ID's for iCloud, thereby keeping mail, contact etc separate.

How do you reinstall archbang while preserving user accounts?

Hello team,
I have difficulty reinstalling archbang with same user account in an already existent linux system. I choose to use same username that already exists, but the archbang installer insists I use another username.
There are likely some users like myself that reinstall different distros or same distro on same home partition with hope to have option to use the same username. Any ideas?
As a workaround, I install with a new user, then try to re-enable my preferred user account.
Archbang rock on.

kazuya, we do not support any other OS here but ArchLinux. You will have to ask on the Archbang forums and they might be able to better help you there.

How do I reinstall Yosemite while keeping my personal files & settings?

Hi,
I am running Yosemite (10.10.2) on my 2013 Macbook Air and its in need of some love. Most notably, my Notes app has broken (it crashes on every attempt to open it) and my bluetooth has gone haywire (device detection and personal hotspot works when they feel like it), my display will randomly go black and is becoming an increasingly mysterious and lengthy process to get it back (normally just mashing keys and opening and closing the lid several times over). Thats just the half of it.
I want to say the mass majority of these issues began after signing myself up to receive all these alpha, beta, omega, apple tree pre-seed, under-cooked releases or whatever apple pushes down the pipeline. Needless to say, I feel its time to reinstall my OS though I am quickly discovering that this whole process was significantly easier in a Windows environment which seems really counter-intuitive considering well, this is Apple and things are just supposed to work like magical butter.
So I ended up reinstalling Yosemite through the Recovery Utility (CMD+R). It downloaded from the internet and installed. My personal files were kept intact but it didn't fix my Notes app as it still kept quitting unexpectedly when trying to launch it. So I opted to perform a clean install. I quickly realized this was a TERRIBLE idea as I was unable to recover important settings like my keychain passwords, my email accounts and so forth. Thankfully I made a time machine backup before attempting any of this so I am right back where I started (sort of).
I need some help please.
My goal is to perform a clean install of Yosemite to rid myself of these OS oddities meanwhile keeping everything important. This includes, most notably:
my personal document, photo and music files
my iTunes library
my iPhoto library (and more importantly, the settings, albums tags, image edits etc etc) that I've made over the years
my keychain passwords
my email accounts (it took me almost an hour to setup and properly configure all 9 of my email accounts and i don't want to go through that again)
my calendar and events within it
Other settings I would like to keep, but am willing to sacrifice are:
my iMessage history
my applications
my user experience settings; things like the dock size and behaviour, track pad scroll speed etc etc etc. I'm on the fence with this one since I've plugged in so much sudo code into terminal trying to accomplish things in the past, that I fear theres some settings that shouldn't be restored.
So Apple community, what say thee; what is my best course of action?
Thank you,
-Brendon

Oh boy... throughout all of this i think I've really done a number. In trying to execute the instructions in the link you provided, I receive this error while trying to access my internet accounts panel under system preferences:
"Preferences Error
Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane."
What have I done lol...

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
-Dylan

Groups of users and application level access

Hello,
just to be sure that I got it right.
If I have a single workspace and I want to have two distinct applications, where the users of one application do not access the other one and vice versa, should I manage the access on a page by page basis, using two different authorization schemes made up of PL/SQL functions checking user's group membership?
I believe there is no way to specify an authorization scheme for a whole application, isn't it?
Thanks,
Flavio

Scott,
if I am not wrong, the checks you suggest to include require an authorization scheme applied once per page view.
I wrote the following function as authorization logic:
if :APP_USER is not null and
upper(:APP_USER) not in ('NOBODY','PUBLIC_USER','HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER')
then
return nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group('PROMO'),false);
else
return true;
end if;
This works fine only if I specifiy "once per page view" in the "validate" property.
If I choose "once per session", any authenticated user can enter the application, no matter what the user group is.
Given this scenario, do you think it is still possible in some way to use the authorization scheme on a per-session basis?
Bye,
Flavio

Keeping databases and applications consistent

I'm currently evaluating solutions for integrating heterogenous datasources in university/college legacy applications.
Our applications are all based on Oracle databases, but we have little knowledge and access to the inner structure of these
databases. And the databases themselves are old, and have been the victim of constant extensions.. thus there are plenty inconsistencies,
duplicates and the likes. We also have some commercial applications like SAP HR, that we'd like to integrate.
A goal of our integration project is to enable updating across the databases/applications in order to ensure consistency, eg. keep employee address information consistent across the systems. From what I've read InterConnect seems to be able to help us with this.
- Anyone know sites or practical case studies of this beeing done? Would like to know more about the requirements and complexity of such an operation.

Hi,
With the info you gave I can tell that choosing the tool is not your concern. Yes, Interconnect can do this.
Be sure that you have decided if the exchange process is a message-based or a batch based process. The first one is a typical Interconnect solution, the batch-based isn't. Sending lots of data at once might influence the performance of the hub.
What you should focus on is the data itself.
First of all choose the source application/database for the address-data.
Make sure you know the data structure in that db.
Also define the events that should trigger the messages. Can they easily be recognized (a trigger, a save, ...)
Than define your common data-structure (model) for your information-object as it should be exchanged between all applications. keep it simple but as generic as possibble. Think about ubnique keys!
Per receiving application make sure you know the data-structure, how to proces your data.
And last but not least think about the consequences of inconsistencies! Maybe the data should be cleaned before starting to exchange. Inconsistencies may not be a problem within 1 db, but could create problems in others...
If you want more details let me know, maybe contact me by e-mail personally.
In our company we have used Interconnect for 2 years now.
