Resetting iPad for new user

Sorry...I'm new here and I think I posted this under a wrong Community. i went to Browse Communities below and there was nothing to do with iPad so I chose Appleworks. But I'll just type in 'iPad' after this and try my luck.
Here's my earlier post:
Hi all.
I've read that Erase All brings the iPad back to how it was when it left the shop. But I need to comfirm something 'cos here's the situation:
1. I just sold my mum's iPad to a third party shop. All done, or so I thought.
2. I get a text asking for my Apple password so they can format the iPad.
3. I reply that it's not needed for Reset All/Erase All. (NOTE: No Passcode was set on iPad)
4. I get a text today saying: "But we need to change the app store. Otherwise if any other person buy it they cannot create new account. Maybe you can come and type it. After that we can reset in front of you."
Does the shop really need my password? I was under the impression that Erase All would do a factory reset and clear my Apple ID from the IPad too. Then the next person just sets up their own ID.
By the way, this is not a shop I really trust which is why I'm being so cautious. Also, I don't fancy going all the way there again.
Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long ramble

Reseting System for new user...

Hello All,
I am selling my older iMac for a new one. How do I get everything back to virgin status...like I got it originally right out of the box...ready to re-setup. (Getting rid of all my data). Don't worry its all backed up.

SCB has replied but you may care to look at <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5161604&#5161604>
This, one of many such replies, also tells you how to prepare the Mac for the new user.
You should also transfer to the buyer the original install disks.
The idea in the link is not to put a start up user on the device whose name the buyer doesn't like. He might be inclined to change the shortname at a stage when he had some data on and apps and would then be posting about a 'loss' of his home folder. It could be rescued, there are postings on that, but it is a clart.

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

1. Why don't you purchase it from Apple? I'd be wary with eBay sellers - and, after all, Apple posts their stuff everywhere, even if you live in a country without a localized Apple store webpage or local (physical) Apple stores.
2. when it comes to adapters / cables like these, NEVER purchase ANYTHING non-Apple-manufactured! Most of the cheap(er) knock-offs don't work! That is, don't try to save on going for a cheaper alternative - it most likely won't work.

Afraid not. The iPad is not intended for multiple users.

GPO not working for new Users (Background)

Terminal Server 2012 in a hosted environment
I've set the below policy to set a default background wich can be changed by the users after this.
The target is an networkdrive. (The Reason behind this is that we have multiple resellers that all have the same networkdrive but pointing to a different store) Lets just say for this example that is P:/Background/ResellerBackground.jpg
The policy is Linked to the Resellers OU.
This works perfectly for all the existing users.
For new users this is not working at all. It does run the policy but it create the profile after running the policies.
So the above setting gets overruled by the default windows server 2012 background. The RunOnce atribute is set now, so it will not load it again.
I have read a lot of different sollutions so far, but none are working in this environment. (From changing the default Hive to changing the default picture etc)
One sollution came close, but not working perfectly either, this is removing the RunOnce atribute from the register, and letting the new users log in again. You do not wanna let new users login twice.
Before Windows 7/8/2012, in XP it just copied the default user and then the policies ran. So here the problem does not exist. Now it makes the profile after running the policies.
Anyone having an idea to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Before going further, what’s the value in the wallpaper registry entry
value data for new users?
>>One sollution came close, but not working perfectly either, this is removing the RunOnce atribute from the register, and letting the new users log in again. You
do not wanna let new users login twice.
If we choose this solution, we can try running cmd command
gpupdate/force to see whether it can work.
Another workaround is we can do it from scratch. We can create a new GPO to deploy wallpaper for these new users. The steps are the same as previous ones, just using
Security Filtering to apply this new GPO to new users, and unlinking and deleting the GPO after the policy getting updated.

No. the replacement is always the same as the item being replaced.

What's the best phone app to use on iPad for uk users to make calls with

I know there's a few apps out there to use and make phone calls with, but which is the best one for uk users/callers.
I would prefer not to use Skype but if that's the best on the market, that's what I will use.
As you can probably guess I'm new to the iPad, so all the help I get is appreciated loads.

Cheers for that, looks like I will have to use Skype then. Unless someone else comes up with an answer.

Wrong home directory permissions for new users

Hi everyone.
I reinstalled my laptop the other day and ran into a rather strange problem: after a system update new users had their permissions totally screwed. It took me 3-4 reinstalls to notice, as i was also playing with lvm2 &co. Anyway, on fresh installations from either 2008.06 or 2009.02, everything works fine. As soon as i update to the latest package versions (including 2.6.29 kernel) and create a new user, permissions on the new home directory are screwed up to the point where the user can't access it.
Old directory permissions:
drwx------ 33 jasn users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:21 jasn
drwx------ 2 root root 16K 17. Apr 12:15 lost+found
New directory permissions:
drw-rw--w- 2 jasm users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:43 jasm
drwx------ 33 jasn users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:21 jasn
drwx------ 2 root root 16K 17. Apr 12:15 lost+found
Logging in to "jasm" results in
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
[jasm@host /]$
The whole mess can be fixed by changing the permissions on the home directory, but all that can't be on purpose, can it? I also don't know which package update (if it even was caused by one) causes this behaviour and if this only happens to me, so i didn't file a bug report.
Has anyone already seen this? I solved it after 1.5 days of puzzled (and strangely unsuccessful) googling and reinstalling, so perhaps someone who runs into the same problem can use this to fix it.

umask is not really the correct thing to do in this case, as this resets the permissions for every file the user creates. Afaik, the umask setting has to be installed on every machine via the launchd-user.conf file (to contain simply: umask 002) (or whatever is appropriate for your facility), as umask is a property of the process, not the connection.
What might work better for your problem is make the homedirs world and group non-readable. That way the user creates files within their homedirs and anywhere below, but everyone else can't read them regardless of the files' permissions because the directory itself is unreadable.

How to reset UID for new created accounts?

Hi everyone,
OS X uses the UID 501 for the first admin account and subsequently counts up for the coming accounts (502, 503, etc.). I sometimes need to create an additional account which will get deleted after a while. The next time I create such an account the UID counter goes still up so that I currently am somewhere around 510.
What I’d like to know is, how does one reset the UID counter so that it will give out 502 again for my next created account? Does this involve dsctl? Any help is appreciated!
Björn

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I was away for a week. I know about the advanced options, but was reluctant to try it this way. Just tested this in a VM and it works! You simply change the UID via System Prefs/Accounts/Advanced to say 502 and the subsequent accounts will follow. The only thing to keep in mind is to close System Preferences after deleting accounts in order to reset the counter. If you continue to create new users without quitting it first, it will continue at 511 or whereever you were.
The reason I want to do this, is simply to not lose my overview about which account uses which UID.
Thanks!

How to Define Workbook / Business Ares Security Correctly for new Users

Hi All,
Please could you help me understand the Security Model for Workbooks and business Areas as I believe I am very close to understanding it, but missing something important.
Background Information:
We are using the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger) to build our reports on. These are the steps I am taking to try and assign a new user & responsibility access to the existing report.
1. I create the Report in Discoverer Desktop under the General Ledger Responsibility logged in as myself assume report name = Report_1.
2. I create a new Responsibility in Oracle Apps called Discoverer Resource Coordinators.
3. I create a new User in Oracle Apps called Joe Bloggs and assign the responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators to the Joe.
4. Logged in as myself in Discoverer Desktop, Responsibility General Ledger I Share the Report (Report_1) to the new Responsibility I just created Discoverer Resource Coordinators.
5. In Discoverer Administration, Security, I assign the new Responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators to the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger).
6. In Discoverer Administration I set privileges so that the Responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators can do all tasks, query data, administer. .etc. etc..
7. I therefore believe everything has been done and attempt to Login and run the report under Joe Bloggs, but am unable to retrieve any data.
Help what am I missing!
Thanks,
Lance

Dear All,
This has now been adjusted according to your recommendations but to no avail.
Myself and Lance have ensured that this new responsibility has unlimited access to all the existing Business areas to eliminate joins within folders not being recognised, we have also ensured that the workbooks that have been created are shared with the correct responsibility.
I have thoroughly tested this set up by logging in as this new responsibility within Disco. Client to try and retrieve data in a new Workbook, but even for the simplest of queries this fails.
It seems that there may be a problem with the Responsibility linking to the EUL, could this be due to the new responsibility being created after the Current EUL was set up?
Does anyone have any information or knowledge where this could happen?

Creating a default User account for new users

Today I tried creating a default setting for and account that could be used for all new users. I did web searches after web serches and not luck. In the old systems it was simple, but Mavericks made it difficult. But after much hair pulling and putting several suggestions together it is just as simple as it was before.
Step 1 Create a new user account
Step 2 log on to that account and set it up totally, that means background picture, preferences, dock, everything
Step 3 click on the home incon in a finder window then go to Finder view select view options and at the bottom check show library
Step 4 go to HD>system library>user templates, you will need to select the file, Command I for info, unlock the lock, click + at bottom select your admin account, give youself read write permissions, go click on the folder you wish/need to change and get info and repeat the step above for each folder.
Step 5 replace the library folder and any other you wish to change with the one from the new account
Step 6 you can also place any documents on the desktop or document folder and replace them
Step 7 create a new user account and verify that the settings and dock are correct.
This takes about 5 minutes or so and is much easier for the non pro

I don't always understand how things can be different from one computer to the other running the same systems and following the same steps but I have 2 iMac's and the steps above for the desktop picture worked on one but not on the other, go figure. So as a fix the default picture was named Wave in the Desktop Picture folder so I changed the name of it to Wave1 and renamed the new photo Wave, did not change the alias in the CoreService folder, now the second computer creates and new user account with all my perferred settings and background picture.
As a recap of my orginal post by creating a default user account, setting up the preferences for finder, and setting up the dock, I simply replaced the preference folder in the User Template file and it works perfectly. Remember that you can do the same with the Document folder or the desktop if you want to place them for all new users.
Since I am not a professional computer person I do not feel comfortable using the terminal or scripting so this works very well for the common person to create a new user template.
