Swapping Macs, can't change the image file used for TM to a Time Capsule

Hello ~
I have ten Macs connected to one TimeCapsule (TC) and nine of them work flawlessly performing a TimeMachine (TM) backup. On the one that doesn't work properly, it is a PBP with Leopard 10.5.8, and latest updates. The other Macs are mixed 10.5.x and 10.6.x.
I had a user on the PBP that I had been backing up in the past. I erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, and then created a new account. I wanted to start backing up the new account and have the name of the backup be the new name I put under Sharing Preference (I assume that's where TM gets the name of the backup).
Well, apparently not, the name of the backup is still the old user name from Sharing, and on the old account before the computer was erased.
I have repaired permissions, I have thrown out the TM prefs in Mac HD\Library\Preferences\, I have restarted the computer. So far I can not get the name to change on the sparse image that it copies to, even though TM says the backup completed without error.
So, as it appears the backup is using the same old image file that this Mac had been using, the backup are separate when you go into TimeMachine, they do not seem to access each other's data, and inspecting the contents of the image, the date of the backup file is there for the new user in the old image file.
I really would just like the PBP to stop using the old image file and create it's own image.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks all
Chaz

I'm slightly confused. What is a PBP or did you mean a MacBook Pro (MBP)? And, what do you mean by a backup "image?" TM does not make images. Are you actually referring to the backup folder for this machine?
If I understand correctly what you need to do is delete the old backup for this machine so TM can start from scratch with a new backup. To do that open the TM application and select your backup, then from the Finder's tool icon in the toolbar select "Delete." which should delete the entire backup.
Also, see User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.

Ravi

My iCloud is not yet verified, can I change the Apple ID used for the iCloud?

Hello all,
Recently I setup a new iPad, using 2 AppleIDs. But accidentally I could not access to the ID used for iCloud, it was said wrong password. I tried all ways to reset it but unsuccessful. No email is sent to rescue email which is the other email address for #2 Apple ID.
Checking at the iCloud, it is said "Account not verified, check your email at <my email address> for instructions to verify this account" and all options on this iCloud window is unable to be accessed. I accessed the email to verify the address but it still alerts the same (account not verified).
To avoid problems in locking my iPad in future (if pass code typed wrongly many times), I now want to change iCloud ID. Please help advise how I could do it.
Thanks alot for your help.
@nhihoang

Did it work for you? I tried it, and the Restore to factory settings will allow you to chose a new iCloud ID, but if you then restore from a backup to get your data & settings back, it will revert back to the old iCloud ID.

How can I change the images for af:statusIndicator?

The default icons (busy and not busy) have a deep blue background which is different from our chosen background color for the application.
As per the ADF documentation for Web development Section 16.6:
"... you can use skins to change the actual image files used in the component."
Is there any code example on how to change the image file for af:statusIndicator?

How can i change the image in portal logon screen

hi guys
pls tel me
how can i change the image in portal logon screen
thanks
regards
kamal

Hi
Download the par file com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak from
Go to System Administration -- Support -- Portal Runtime -- Browse Deployment.
The path should ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/pcd. Now download that file into local system.
Create a Par project and make necessary chenages ..i.e
Open the downloaded par file with WinZip and inside the lib folder three jar files named com.sap.
portal.runtime.logon_api.jar, com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_core.jar and umelogonbase.jar will be there. Copy those files in the folder u2018libu2019 in par project.
Now change a branding Image...i.e
Replace the branding-image. jpg with your company branding image in the same name.
Once modifications are done,then create a par project and upload the par file into portal.
Go to the path System Administration -- Support -- Support Desk -- Portal Runtime -- Administration console.
then browse the file and click on upload.
Connect to server where the Portal WebAS is running and go to:
(drive):\usr\sap\<system id>\<system instance>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout.
There you will find the images used on logon screen, you can replace them for your
company images, please take care with the width of the images, as usual, to make this
change effective, you must restart the whole WebAS.

Raju

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.
