Remove user and keep his e-mail?

I intend to remove all users except admin from my desktop G4 machine, running OSX 10.3.9
I would like to be able to move the mail from one of these accounts to the admin account before I delete the account.
Mail version 1.3.11
How can this be done?
Thanks
Dave

You’re welcome.
In that case, just move those files to the corresponding location within the admin account’s home folder, replacing the files with the same name that might already be there, and change ownership as follows:
1. In the Finder, select the ~/Library/Mail folder, do File > Get Info (⌘I) and, under Ownership & Permissions, expand Details by clicking on it.
2. Change the settings as follows (you may need to click on the lock icon to authenticate first): Owner: username, with “Read & Write” access permissions; Group: username, with “Read only” access permissions; Others: “No Access”.
3. Click on the Apply to enclosed items button at the bottom of the Get Info window.
4. Repeat with ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, except there is no Apply to enclosed items button to click in that case, and the right Group access permissions would be “No Access” (not that it really matters).
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Want to remove quicktime and keep Itunes

Hi all -
Quicktime on Windows is one the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced. I just want it removed from my pc, but the problem is that I like Itunes, and Itunes requires Quicktime to run. Is there a way around this?
I have to remove Quicktime because it somehow keeps hijacking my file associations and it breaks flash (read: youtube) every time it does this. After editing Quicktime Preferences this fixes it, but for some reason Quicktime grabs the associations again after every Apple update, which is annoying as ****. Is there any way to remove it and keep Itunes working??

iTunes needs Quicktime to run. The earliest version of Quicktime that the latest version of iTunes will work with is 7.1.6. I'm currently using Quicktime 7.3.1. I can't watch some videos from the iTunes store, but music plays fine which is all I need. Using 7.3.1 also means some vulnerabilities won't be patched. I don't go to sketchy Web sites, and I always use a regular user account for daily computing instead of an Administrator account.

To remove Cancel and Keep workitem from User desicion

Hi,
I am having a requirement that I need to remove the extra system added button of <b>cancel and Keep workitem</b> in the User decision activity. I don't want that to be shown to the user for proccessing , I shoud display only Approve and Reject option. But the third one is getting added by iteself.
Can any one please guide me in removing this option from the workitem.
Advance thanks .

Hi,
I'm not on a SAP system right now, so i'm not sure if this will help (or is true for that matter).
I think in the tabs of the step definition, you can alter the code used for the user decision.
Or, if this is not possible, you can also create a custom ud step and a custom BO of the method used in decisions and change the method of the decision, so that these don't show up.
I do not think that this is an easy solution.
May I ask, what the functional requirement, or even the business spec is, for this? I think the cancel button is very handy, when users accidentally picked up a work item and is SAP standard behaviour.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to recreate EBS user and keep all his historical data.

Hi all
We have a user that is having an issue seeing any of his scheduled Discoverer reports within the Schedule Manager window of Discoverer Plus; Discoverer Desktop works fine.
The solution for it's to recreate the EBS user. The problem with this is that, if we recreate the EBS user, he will lose all historical data connected to that user, including the results of the scheduled Discoverer reports as well as all of the EBS created/last updated information.
There is a way to recreate an EBS user and preserve the historical references.
Thanks

Are you saying you are going to create a new username for the same user and end-date the old one?
There is a way to recreate an EBS user and preserve the historical references.I believe there is no such a way to find all records/tables with the old user_id. Even if you find the list and update them manually, I believe this approach is not supported.
Please log a SR to confirm the same with Oracle support.

Mail Won't Quit, and Keeps Reloading Old Mail from the Server

I recently had an apparent laptop battery failure while in Mail (while on battery). The machine abruptly shut down with no warning with about 55% power still available. It did this subsequently at random power levels. But, it always worked on the line power adapter. There have been no recurrences with a new battery.
Since I archive all my mail on my desktop machine, the laptop is set to NOT remove messages from the server after downloading.
1. After the first power failure with Mail active, on restart I got message from Mail to the effect that there was something wrong with the mail indexing, and if I would do X (don't remember what), then it would be fixed. I did X, and the system came up.
But, it had lost track of which messages had already been downloaded. Every time Mail was launched in downloaded the entire contents of the server spool, leading to massive duplications.
2. Then I discovered that I could not quit the application. If you tried, the first time it would close the message window, but remain active on the menu bar, with the "Quit" box grayed out.
I could force it to quit, but that may have been leading to it forgetting which mails it had already read.
I have run the disk utility, including the permissions check, and it reports that all is well.
I have reloaded Mail from the System disc, with no improvement.
I have tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. But when Mail opens and brings up the Setup window, it fails to find the outgoing mail server.
Replacing the new plist with the original fixes the outgoing problem, but whether the new or old plist is in place, the multiple downloads and failing to quit both happen.
Since all of these attempts, a new symptom has emerged:
3. When dragging the Inbox messages to the trash (or using the Delete button), they do go to the trash, but remain in the inbox as well.
Any thoughts?

FYI: I found that there were two very-similarly-named folders in the users/(home)/Library/Mail folder.
One was called: POP-(username)@(ISP popservername).(ISP domain).
The other was called POP-(username)@(ISP popservername)@(ISP domain).
They both contained some of the core mail boxes, e.g. Deleted Messages, INBOX, Junk etc.
However, only one had the file: MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
I copied the user mailboxes elsewhere and trashed these two folders. But opening Mail recreated them with all the same issues.
I trashed them again, along with the (boot disk)/Library/Mail, and the (bootdisk)/Applications.Mail.app file.
Then I reloaded the Mail app from the OS 10.5 Install DVD.
Launching Mail and setting its preferences cleared up the problem. Only one of the pop folders showed up and it correctly tracked the already downloaded files, and quit normally when asked.

Remove Users and Members of Groups with DIP

We are using the DIP connector to map between NONLDAP(oracle DB) and OID. We are using a profile to create and update users. We have another profile that will create any new groups. We are currently working on a third profile that will populate the groups with their members. These profiles look at views in our oracle DB to determine when they were last updated.
We have been successful at creating and updating users and creating new groups. I have not found any documentation to remove a user or remove a member from a group. Is there a way in the mapping file or the configuration file to tell OID that a user needs to be deleted or a member needs to be deleted from a group?
Has anyone had any experience with this?

If your question is whether you can use the DIP DB connector
to synchronize group and group memberships, then yes
you can.
Keep in mind though, that the DB connector will do a full
refresh of the group memberships (and not incremental)

Removing sections and keeping the text

I have a number of pages in my document that I want to remove from a section. I also want to keep these pages. How do I remove pages from a section yet keep the individual pages?

Hi John,
It looks as though you are inserting new pages with:
Menu > Insert > Sections > Blank
That will insert a new page separated from the previous page with a Section Break.
The Section Break is the blue horizontal line.
View > Show Invisibles to see it.
View > Page Thumbnails to see images of the pages on the left.
Nothing wrong with how you are inserting blank pages.
You can delete a Section Break, and two pages will come together. Formatting of the first line of the second page will change, but that is a minor problem.
The Pages User Guide can be downloaded from the Help Menu in Pages. Well worth a read.
Regards,
Ian.

How to share itunes library with multiple users, and keep organised

Hi,
I'm using iTunes (v12) on Windows 7 and am trying to set myself up so that multiple users on this PC are sharing the same library. I've followed the guidance mentioned on a couple of other threads, and put the library in the Users\Public\Music location, and on each user account have pointed iTunes to this location. This has worked OK, as both users can see all the music.
However, problems arise when User A deletes a couple of files (duplicates for example) - User B logs in, and the song is still listed in the library, but with an alert stating the original file cannot be located. They then have to go through the library and also delete these entries. Equally, if User B adds some music files (as opposed to iTunes downloads), they are not visible to User A until they "Add file to library..."
Are there any further steps that I can take to keep both users views of the library identical, without manual intervention by the second user whenever the first makes a change?
Cheers,
Matt

The way you've set it up each user has a distinct library, but is accessing a common set of media files and folders. To accomplish what you want, you need to have a complete iTunes library (database + media) in a common location - typically this would be C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes. See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable for the steps that may be needed to bring your library into a suitable structure. Based on your description, you'll need to select one user's library (C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl) to act as the shared "master" and move this to the Public folders.
Then, for each user, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes - when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open (you'll only need to do this once for each user account).
Note, though, that iTunes is inherently a single-user application - any attempts to run iTunes at the same time will cause errors (and, in the worst case, possible corruption). For this reason, its a good idea to disable fast user switching in Windows so that only one user can be logged in, and running iTunes, at the same time.

How to change user and keep downloads and icloud.

Since i bought my first Mac in 2009 i have created an account on my son´s email in order to download apps for him in the future but keep it under my management
After that, i have also bought an Iphone and Ipad..
Nowadays, my son uses the ipad but everytime he downloads a game it updates my iphone and people who want to find me with face time finds his name and not mine.
What i need to know how to do it is how to create an account for me (Iphone and Mac book pro) but keep some of things i have already bought exclusively for me (Best example is Mac Os).
Also, I have Icloud set up under his account and in case i change i dont want to miss all the info.
Many thanks in advance.

Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. So the content you have acquired, whether for you or for him, will forever be associated with this Apple ID. There is no way to seperate it apart.

     if(rs.getString("recid").trim().equalsIgnoreCase(request.getParameter("recid").trim()))

Help with mail users and setup 10.6 mail server bound to 10.8 Open Directory

We have a 10.7 Open Directory server which was upgraded from 10.6. We have had some Open Directory issues since the upgrade. I am manually creating a 10.8 server as a replacement for the 10.7 server. All settings for services are running as expected and we are ready to turn over to the new server except for a problem with the ability to receive email.
Setup in both the original and the replacement has the OD server with DNS running with a correct MX record pointing to our 10.6 mail server.
In the replacement OD server the mail users were created as network users, with no userhome, with access to the mail service, and email addresses given.
The mail server was unbound from the original OD server, bound to the replacement OD server without SSL exactly as with the original, and restarted.
Initially the mail service said that mail clients had the wrong name or password. Opened WGM 10.6 on the MAIL server and checked the OD records. They showed the mail users not having the checkbox saying they were set up to receive mail selected. Selected the checkbox to receive mail.
Now the mail client seems to connect to the server correctly but does not show the emails in the system for the users. It is as though there is no email and the account is brand new.
Unbind the mail server from the replacement OD server, rebind it to the original OD server, and restart.
Mail clients connect and receive the mail in the accounts as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I figured out what the mail server is doing. It has created new email stores for each of the new users. If we bind to the original OD it uses the original set of email stores. If we bind to the replacement OD it uses the new set of email stores.
I have tried to make sure that the userIDs match in each OD but that did not help.
The server is working for each OD. Does anyone know if I can tell the 10.6 mail server to use the old emails in the mailstore for the new user in the new OD?
If nothing else I can solve the problem by archiving the emails and copying them into the new user when running the new OD.
