The different accounts: explain this to me like I'...

Okay. I'm trying to grasp all the www.windowsphone.com, live.xbox.com, windows.microsoft.com and SkyDrive and what else things popping up all over the place. What is happening here? I seem to have accounts everywhere simply because I'm using a Lumia.
Is there an idiot's guide to all of this somewhere? I'd like to understand what the heck is happening. I don't like it when I don't understand what is going on and I seem to have zero control over things. When I talk to other  Lumia users, no-one seems to understand what is stored and where.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Essentially once you input a Windows Live ID upon your Lumia device "the cat is out of the bag" as here; http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/how-to/wp7/start/windows-live-id

  • If I have multiple accounts in my mail on a macbook, is there a way to separate the different accounts like in two separate tabs?

    If I have multiple accounts in my mail on a macbook, is there a way to separate the different accounts like in two separate tabs?

    I can't think of a way to show them in tabs, but Mail lets you open as many Mail list windows as you like. Set the Mail window to show just the inbox for Account A, then choose File/New Viewer Window and set that window to show just the Account B inbox. Arrange the windows next to each other.
    I open multiple viewer windows all the time when dragging messages from inboxes to various folders, it saves a lot of time.

  • Different field groups in the different account groups

    Dear IT Experts,
    I´m working on restructuring authorization in roles concerning the IC and TP customers.
    The goal of this changes is be able to have different field groups in the different account groups (TP and IC), for give you some more detail a good example can be, the same AMS user should be able to change general data and sales views for TP customers  but for IC he should only be allowed to change the sales views, however when the changes are made in the roles they are being ignored because as far as I could check the system does not have as a rule that the field groups are or can be dependent from the account group...
    I can give you a clear example:
    Role A
    F_KNA1_AEN -> VGRUP = 10-16
    F_KNA1_GRP -> ACTVT = 01, 02, 03
    F_KNA1_GRP -> KTOKD = INTR
    Role B
    F_KNA1_AEN -> VGRUP = 16
    F_KNA1_GRP -> ACTVT = 01, 02, 03
    F_KNA1_GRP -> KTOKD = THIR
    Despite it looks fine, the system is not validating the account group with the correspondent field group in each role, so the field groups that the system use is unique, it means it the content of the object F_KNA1_AEN in total independently of used account group!
    So my question is, can we apply any other object that makes the field group being directly depending of the account group, as we can see for example activities for each account group having something similar for field group and account group?
    Can someone please explain me step-by-step how I can do this work even if by another method?
    I´m quite new on this issues and I really need your wisdom to find a solution for this.
    Many thanks

    Hi Manoj
    The debate is each inidividual business unit has defined different account groups for the same vendor in their respective systems.
    The question is : What is the best practice-- Should we keep Vendor account group as main table field and define Vendors with one unique account groups OR we maintain the account group in qualified table each pointing to different business unit.
    In my opinion this is going to be very complex solution. Ideally we need to define all the Harmonization rules before syndicating data to different target systems.
    Is this possibel that the same vendor record which is existing as vendor of different account groups in different systems have same set of attributes. If yes then enabling the remote key for Account group Lookup field is one option and defining a unique Account group 'AG" (which is mapped to say AG1 from remote system1, AG2 from remote system2 and so on..)..
    Managing this via Qualified table will be very complex and not advisabel. As Rajesh also mentioned Account Group in MDM should be considered as Global attribute and all such harmonization rules should be defined in your project. AG1=AG2=AG in above exmaple.
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks-Ravi

  • When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

    when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile.  How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account?  I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times. 

    Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
    New iTunes Support - US and ww
    Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
    Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!
    Cheers,

  • Different accounts of this app

    What is the differance bitwin Ask a question support account and the other accounts on this app ?

    Your account for this support site currently is only for the support site. So it is separate from (and doesn't work for) any account you might have created for Firefox Sync, or the Firefox Add-ons site, and so forth.
    Does that answer your question?

  • You are unable to log in to the user account at this time

    I am facing this problem for some time now. Can anyone give some hints?
    By the way. Excuse me for my English. I am not a native speaker.
    I have a MacMini with Snow Leopard Server (10.6.7 since yesterday) wired to two iMacs (10.6.7), two PC's running Windows and a Time Capsule/Airport (7.5.2) which is wirelessly connected to a MacBook Air (10.6.7), iPad and iPhone.
    The PC's use file sharing (SMB) which works fine.
    The Server has some network accounts. Home dir is on the server.
    At one iMac, I can log in to a network account. E-mail, iCal on Server, sync with iPad and iPhone. Works fine.
    At the second iMac, I can NOT log in to any network account. Window shakes, saying "You are unable to log in to the user account at this time" and "Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred". In Terminal window, I can reach /Network/Servers/do.main.name/Users. Using the Finder, I can access all my files. If I shut down the first iMac, I can log in.
    At my MacBook, I can not log in to my network account. In Terminal window, I can Not reach /Network/Servers/do.main.name/Users. I get "Users: Host is down". But using Finder, I have access to all my files. Shutting down both iMacs doesn't help. Airport settings see to be correct.
    Where do I have to look. On the Server side? Using Server Admin and Workgroup Manager (from any client) I can not see anything strange. In WGM, multiple login for the network accounts is enabled. I even have Guest Access enabled for AFP (both in the sharepoint and in AFP settings).
    Anyone?

    I uploaded my Itunes cards to the wrong account. I am trying to by an in app upgrade, but the app was purcahsed on a different account. How do I transfer the money to the different account?

    If you have not spent any of the money from the card, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They may be able to restore the money to the card so you can redeem it through the correct account. If any of the money has been spent, then there will almost certainly be nothing the iTunes Store will be able to do for you.

  • What are all the different account types?

    What are all the different account types?
    What is variance reporting?
    Where you create exchange rate table?

    Essbase provides two variance reporting properties—expense and non-expense. The default is non-expense. Variance reporting properties define how
    Essbase calculates the difference between actual and budget data in members with the @VAR or @VARPER function in their member formulas.
    When you tag a member as expense, the @VAR function calculates Budget - Actual.
    For example, if the budgeted amount is $100 and the actual amount is $110, the variance is -10.
    Without the expense reporting tag, the @VAR function calculates Actual - Budget. For example, if the budgeted amount is $100 and the actual amount is $110, the variance is 10

    youy probably will have to force quit - wait long enough that you are sure no disk activity is taking place - if launching iPhoto does not work after the force quit Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • Using iCloud with 2 different accounts is this possible.

    Using iCloud with 2 different accounts is this possible. Example if I buy a song from iTunes could it be synced to my wife's account.

    No, but you can authorize her machine to play songs from your account, you'll just import them manually, they won't 'sync'

  • Sharing music between different accounts - is this how it works?

    The way iTunes shares music between different users seems a bit poor.
    I have two user accounts set up on the same PC, with music files accessed by each from the same folder (as described here: How To Share Music Between Different Accounts On A Single Computer).
    My main issues are:
    1) I have to manually add new music added by the other user instead of it just appearing in iTunes.
    2) iTunes doesn't recognise if a music file is already in the joint library, so we end up with two copies of things (particularly tiresome for podcasts).
    Am I doing something wrong - maybe there is an easy way around this?
    ... or do the people at Apple need to do a bit of work here?

    By default, any new file or folder created is set to be read+write for the creator, and read-only for everyone else. The file creator can grant write access to other users by changing the permissions on a folder and its contents, as Neil suggests. But you'll have to repeat that process every time a new file is added.
    Fortunately, there is a way to automatically grant read+write access to all files created or copied to the folder. First go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Click the + button under the users list. Then, make a new group; calling it "sharegroup" or something similar. Add the users you want to the group.
    Then put all the files you want to share into a commonly-accessible folder, such as a subfolder in /Users/Shared.
    Then log in to an admin account and open Terminal. Paste in the following two lines:
    sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    Press return, then drag the folder into the Terminal window, and press return again. Enter admin password when prompted and press return. That should do it. Everything there now should be fully writable by all users in sharegroup. New files that are *created in* or *copied to* the folder will be the same way.
    Files that you *move in* from a different location on the same hard drive won't be, though. So make sure you copy previously existing files into the sharefolder instead of moving them (hold down option key while dragging to copy) so that they get the custom permissions applied.

  • Logging to SharePoint and its environment with the setup account - Is this a safe practice ?

    Hello,
    Many of us are very familiar with the suggested accounts: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445(v=office.15).aspx#Subsection2  and http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=391
    And we always hear from experts that we should never ever login (Interactive login) to the environment using the FarmAccount e.g. (sp_farm) because this is one of the worst practices and sometimes the the health analyzer will report errors and alerts if
    the farm account is used in interactive logins.
    OK I understand, I get this part, and I will never ever login using the farm account.
    But what about the installation account e.g. (sp_setup)? can I login (interactive login) to the environment and the SharePoint sites using it and doing some changes with it? is that a safe practice? or is it an unforgivable sin too?
    Thanks !

    There's a load of reasons why it's a bad idea.
    Your admins shouldn't be routinely using that account as it has too many things depending on it and so accidental locks could cause issues.
    It's a pain to change it so if a disgruntled admin leaves the company there's a good chance the password won't change, leaving you a potential threat if you've done other silly things.
    You have no audit trails showing who used the account.
    It has too much access for routine use, allowing a malicious or inept admin to do a lot of damage.
    Whilst you might use a keysafe system if it's short enough to remember and type easily then it's not secure enough given its' massive power.
    It leads to assumptions about access that will cause you trouble if you ever try to do things right at a later stage
    etc.
    You should be using individual named AD accounts, ideally separate from normal user accounts and managed through AD groups. These groups should be audited on a regular basis to trim back users to only those who need access. This isn't a SharePoint concept,
    this is a fundamental security process.
    For references may I recommend Computer Security - Principals and Practice by William Stallings and Lawrie Brown (Part 3).

  • My old PC, when scrolling through bookmarks and clicking, would return to the same place when opening bookmarks again. My Mac, book marks always open at the top of the list. Can this be set like my PC?

    The PC, (Sony Vaio) if i scrolled half way through my bookmarks and clicked on one, if i returned to bookmarks it would open in the same location from where i clicked previously.
    The Mac, every time i open my bookmarks, it opens at the top of the list.
    Can this be adjusted to work like my old PC?
