Resetting all specific user alerts to the global settings

Hello:
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer about this.
A while ago, I set the Action for a specific buddy (a sound notification for a particular 'event') because I wanted them to be different from the global setting on that particular occasion.
Now, I just want notifications for that specific buddy to behave just like all the rest, or in other words, I want to return him back to behaving in accordance with the global settings. I know I can update that particular buddy's settings to be the same as the global settings, but this is a real pain whenever I want to change the global settings, because I have to change those, then go in and change the settings for this buddy also, just to keep it all consistent.
Is there a way in iChat to reset all individual buddies' behavoirs so that they follow the global settings again and stop using the individual settings? I tried turning them off in the individual buddy's Actions, but that just turns off the notifications entirely for that buddy.
Thanks!

Umm,
Interesting.
I was thinking that when you did the Get Info on the Buddy (after Highlighting) and went to the Alerts tab that you could set the thing(s) to None.
I know that you can turn Off all the tick boxes.
In fact on this this it seems to be the Answer.
Remove all the Ticks you have in any of the Play Sound boxes.
(you also have to check the top drop down for every action you may have set a Sound against.)
The other way is more "destructive"
Delete com.apple.ichat.plist
This sets all the iChat Preferences Back to Defaults (Font, Font Colour, Incoming overrides, Bubble Colour, Saved Transcripts, Menu Bar icon to list a few as well as any Sound/Alert choices and wiping the Buddy Specials and the Saved Status Messages.

Sharepoint portal goes down Whenever a specific user logs into the portal

hi All,
Sharepoint portal goes down Whenever a specific user logs into the portal
When a specific user logs into the portal , the iis goes down and no one able to access the portal.
once we reset iis then portal works fine .Please help us to identify the root cause for this issue.

What is the error message it throws for everyone after that user user logged into the site. Did you encountered the same behavior for the other web application in the same farm as well?
It would be worth to check health of that particular application pool and the account used for it during the time you face the issue.

Assign Task to a specific user based on the value of DDL from the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise me on how to assign a task to a specific user based on the value of the drop down list from the form. E.g. user fills the form and before they submit the form they have to select one of the name from the drop down list so the form can go to that person for approval.
Thanks in advance,
Han

I got it works now by using the xpath expression (in workbench) to assign to the selected user from the DDL in the form.

My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

If by resetting to factory settings you mean she erased the drive and reinstalled the operating system, OS X, then yes all data thatwas on it is gone. That is why apple included time machine so you can make backups of your data.

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app on my computer.

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours on the phone with a tech resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app upgrades on my Mac-Pro (10.8.5). When I'm asked to sign in there, the old e-mail address is still shown and I'm unable to change it. Suggestions?

I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed.
There is no such requirement.
You have created an additional Apple-ID, which is different from the one under which you purchased Items from The Mac App Store.
Go back, log in under the OLD Apple-ID and Add an additional email Address there instead.
Apple does not yet have a convenient way of combining Apple-IDs.

I get an alert about the registry settings are missing and to reinstall iTunes. It did that and still get the warning. ITunes won't recognize my iPhone as a result.

I get an alert saying "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I reinstalled iTunes, restarted pc, and I checked what other CD/DVD burning software by searching on DVD. Results: Cyberlink DVD suite deluxe, HP Smartmedia DVD , and Windows DVD Maker, all of which I've had forever. Should I delete these and try to reinstall iTunes again? Are there other reasons that this message pops up?

Got the same Pop-up and Apple Sppt told me that UNinstalling Quicktime had fixed this issue in most other cases. I asked IF I had to start over with Uninstalling iTunes, and she answered Yes.
Read my too-long thread (below) that has an Apple Sppt link at the start about Manual Deletes of several Apple Folders/files being a Key to a proper Uninstall / Re-install of iTunes.
Do as much as you want but this is what experience led me to so far. We haven't done it yet since the iPhone Sync'd OK and CD burning is not a priority.

Has anybody had problems with the global settings panel not working?

I am on PC, Vista 64bit. updated to the new flash player and now flash player will not allow me to chage anything in the global settings panel. I need to allow third party content for editing wix sites and I cannot change any of the settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and nothing has helped.
My adobe reader also crashed and now will not load after uninstall. Very frustrating! Everythign worked fine before the update.
Any ideas?

To allow Flash Player settings, close all browser windows, then open Windows Explorer and type %APPDATA%\Adobe in the address bar. Delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there. Do the same in %APPDATA%\Macromedia
Regarding Adobe Reader, please post in that forum.

Why can't I see the Global Settings Manager - only the Local Settings Manager

I've had an issue with Facebook content for months following an upgrade several versions ago - can't see my own uploaded videos or certain other content although some you tube embedded stuff is starting to work since the last upgrade.
I've tried deleting various bits such as
%appdata%\Adobe
%appdata%\Macromedia
But no joy.
I wanted to see if anything on the global settings manager might have something to do with it but I get a blank where the various manager function screens should appear.
Any suggestions on how I can see MPG/MPEG/VID content, why my own uploaded stuff doesn't play and why I can't see the global settings manager bits and pieces.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Chris - yep - for the first time, using chrome, I could see the settings manager.
Now is there anything there that might prevent my seeing my own uploaded videos on Fb - I can see some but not all youtube stuff but other embeds aren't working... original file format compatibility perhaps?

Authorization object for the "global settings" of a workbook of BW 7.0

Hi colleagues,
I search for a authorization object for the "global settings" of a workbook in the analyzer of BW 7.0.
The normal user should not have the authorization to change the "default workbook" .

Hello Hans-Dieter,
have you solved the issue? I think it is not clearly defined and needs to be enhanced even Note 332738 has been applied. S_RS_TOOLS is not working, that's my opinion.
I opened a customer message in Marketplace to become a solution.
May be you have a solution already done?
I would appreciate this very much.
Best regards
André

Can't see the Global Settings Manager !

Hi,
I can't see the Global Settings Manager here: Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel
I have a message 'this content requires Flash'.
My OS: Vista Business 32 bits
Flash player installed : 14.0.0.145
Browser: Firefox 31 (latest version)
Let me know how can I fix this issue, please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pat,
Sorry for the delay time.
I found the culprit, a firefox add-ons that consider the Global Settings Manager as an adv.
May I ask you here another issue that I have with Flash while viewing movies ?

HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

How to popup a msg from Oracle to all appl users logged in the Application

Hi All,
We are using Forms/Reports6i and database oracle9i
Does Oracle provide any message broadcast method to send messages to the Application users which are currently using the application.
If not then how it will be performed.
Suppose we have to send some server maintenance messages to all users so only all application users who are logged in to application must get these messages.No other users.....
For Example: 1 Server and 200 Application Users logged in..I want to send any message in oracle to all of them after they are logged in the application.
Advance Thanks

no - you have to wait till the next forms release. there you can do it
in between you have to work with timers, which query in the db, if there are new message for the user. build a news-table where you look into. Or build an AQ and write get-functions in db-packages, which you use in forms 6i for reading in the AQ.
but don't use (if possible) this timers in the web, because your performance will have problems then

I want all new users to have the same background.

Does anyone know how to have all new users that sign on for the first time to have the same background? Thank you.

This was answered by another post. Thank you Niel, your answer helped me.

A suggestion for the mouse setting through persistence via SkyDrive/OneDrive: Add a check button to let the user tell if the mouse settings should be "restored" every time the user logs in a "different" computer using the same Microsoft Account.

Every time I log in one of my 2 computers with Microsoft Account, I have to change the main button (left/right) setting, because the settings persistence via SkyDrive/OneDrive.
I have different main mouse button settings in the computers.
Those settings shouldn't be changed, if the account is not a new one, after all, if the user has different settings in old accounts, it means there must be a reason to do it (because of hardware and/or furniture restriction).
Thus, a check button in the mouse settings' window that let the user tell if it should be changed or not would be welcomed.
