Silly? User quick change and I-tunes issue

Well as I read all of the posts I feel gratified that I have not experienced all of the problems that seem to abound. My question seems silly by comparison.
I had a Powerbook Pro (G3 upgraded to G4) that would allow me to start Itunes playing in one user profile and then when I switched to another profile (personal to work) it would continue playing the music. Very nice for accessing the i-tunes library while at work. Now with my MBP I start the music and when I swith profiles music goes bye bye. Anyone have any suggestions or answers?
Thanks
David

Caroni,
This is what I do:
1) Put itunes folder in "Shared" folder
2) In both accounts, in the "Music" folder, place a short cut to the iTunes folder you just moved (make sure the original iTunes folder is not in the Music folder if you copied the iTunes folder to the Shared folder). You may need to fiddle with the permissions so that all accounts can read/write to the library files
However, if you switch user accounts while itunes is playing, the other account will not be able to access the library. To remedy this problem, follow this MacOSXhint:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061212090013611&query=winswitch
It works like a freakin charm!!!! I used to get so annoyed that I would have to go back to the other account and quit iTunes and then go back to my account....not anymore.

Oracle user .profile change and running Database

We have 1 Oracle Database (9i) running on AIX Server for long time. Now we are making some room to create second database. We would like to make change to Oracle User .profile , so it would prompt to specify ORACLE_SID upon login under oracle to UNIX. Also we would add new entry in oratab for new database. However we will not be creating this database for another couple of weeks. Could this cause some trouble for currently running Database? Could existing backup jobs, stats job and other monitor jobs fail on existing running DB?
Let me know if you need more information to help us on this question

This is very unlikely, though it would depend on how you developed the jobs you discuss. Without these jobs: no problem.
What I do with multiple databases on Unix boils down the following.
In /etc/profile, I set up a env var DEFDB
In .profile of Oracle I set ORACLE_SID to the value of this DEFDB, and I set
ORAENV_ASK to "NO". I run oraenv (which is in /usr/local/bin), and I leave ORAENV_ASK set.
I don't want oraenv asking for a database during login, and I want to issue
export ORACLE_SID=<some value> prior to running oraenv manually.

User ID change and update on iPad??

I have changed my user ID on Apple's website and confirmed the change. How do I get it to change on my iPad? That area is grayed out on my iPad and I cannot access it to update it.

I think you can either
go onto iTunes and scroll to the bottom to you and then select it and sign out and then sign in with your new account
or
you can go onto app store and scroll to the bottom and sign out and sign in there
hope this helps

User name change, and now my settings are gone...

I clicked on Finder, and saw that my username was a____s_______ (which is my full name spelled out). As anal as I am, I wanted everything spelled with capitalization, so I left clicked, selected "Rename a____s_______" and proceeded to type is out like so: A___ S______.
Everything was going great until I clicked on iTunes and it acted like I was a brand new user. My personal music and playlists are nowhere to be found. Same is the case in iPhoto, and upon restarting, I'm back to a beautiful Mac blue desktop background like Day 1.
I know my iTunes, etc. still exist--if I click on Macintosh HD and then Users, under my old name (a____s_______) is a folder containing all my music, pictures, etc. in folders. Technically, I could drag everything into it's place, but besides the immense time block that would take, I don't know how to get back all my other settings (desktop, dashboard, widgets, address book, etc.).
Does anyone know of a quick fix to this? It's a little irritating--so close yet so far away, you know?!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Drag the "unwanted" Library folder to the Desktop. Move the Library folder you want to the proper location. Restart the computer. If all is well you can then delete the Library folder that's on the Desktop.
This is necessary because some items are "in use" when you startup. You cannot delete a folder if it contains items "in use." Once you replace the folder and restart the old folder will no longer have anything "in use" and can be dumped.

My e-mail address has changed and i-tunes still recognizes me by the old one. I can't get authorization to move songs from one computer to the next.

When I first got started with Mac, I had a different e-mail address. I have a new e-dress and new passwords, but much of what I bought was with that old e-dress. Now, I'm trying to migrate my i-tunes library to a new computer, and I can't get authorized to move or play songs on the new computer.
Does anyone know what to do? (A once and for all reset of Apple username and password).....
Thnx

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

I bought my iMac from someone. Everything was changed over to my name however when I try to update programs it only shows the old users apple ID and I can't update. How do I change this so I can update the applications and have everything fully under me?

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

Report Builder 2.0 User Password Change Issue

A user changed her password (domain account) this morning and can no longer open the query designer (we are using an SSAS data source) or run a report in Report Builder 2.0. She can still access the SSRS front end report manager reports with no issue (and she enters her new password).
When clicking Run for a report in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
When trying to open the Query Builder for a dataset in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
The security log in the applicaiton event log on the report server logs the following with each failed attempt:
Unknown user name or bad password.
Three other users have recently reset their passwords and had no issue with Report Builder 2.0. I am thinking that her password may be cached or saved within Report Builder 2.0 and it keeps using her old password. I have had the user reboot and uninstall/reinstall Report Builder 2.0 but neither fixed the issue. It appears after uninstalling that all application data was not removed as recent reports show after reinstalling and I was not prompted for login credentials again. I had our domain admin reset her password back to what it was before she changed her password and all issues in Report Builder 2.0 went away and she could use the Query Builder and run the reports. I need to figure out how to let her change her password and have Report Builder 2.0 work though. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, going to Options > Settings and clicking "Clear all recent item lists" didn't work for me. My login credentials are still cached, and I'm not prompted to log in, when I launch Report Builder.
I'm running Win7 Professional, IE10. I cleared my browser cache as my first attempt to clear the login, but that didn't work. I even cleared again, making sure to select to clear stored passwords/logins, but that didn't clear it, either.
Best regards,
Brad

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

Issue: The user name changed when switch to other links in SCN

Hi,
I just wanted to bring to the notice of the moderators (as I don't know where can I report for the IT related issues) that for the past few days I am facing a peculiar behaviour when I log into the SCN through Internet Explorer 8.0. This is also being faced by my peers too..:)
The issue is that when I login to SCN, I can see my user name on the top of the page(Home page). But when I switch to say 'Forum', the user name is changed and this is random. I kind of have access to his/her account.
Even I try to log off, nothing happens.. The only solution left is to close the IE and then try to login again.
Kindly have a look into this issue.
Thanks in advance..:)
Regards
Amit

Ive (along with many others) noticed the same problem with the Forums about 2 years ago, where after log-in or clicking a certain thread I find myself in someone's else's id. And the id keeps changing from time to time with no end in sight.
The problem took about a couple of days to be rectified.

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

Display some constant in the input field and allow the user to change it.

Dear All,
I have a requirement in WDA to display inputfield with some constant initially and allow
the user to change that value according to his wish.Currently I am using UI Element
InputField for this,but I am not able to show the constant initially.
How can I achieve this pls suggest.
Thanks,
Reddy.

Hi sudhir,
To display with default values, you need to write your code in wddointi method.
Check this code..
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <INPUT> via lead selection
lo_nd_input = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_input ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_input = lo_nd_input->get_element( ).
lv_ship_point = '1001'.
* set single attribute
lo_el_input->set_attribute(
name = `SHIP_POINT`
value = lv_ship_point ). // Now ship_point have initial value 1001.
Cheers,
Kris.
