Transferring Email Filters and Other Settings to a New BB Device
I will be upgrading/replacing the BB device of one of my users. He's got a lot of email filters and personal setting preferences (i.e. ring tones, speed dial,etc.) Can I transfer the settings and filters to his new BB?
I tried transferring it through the BB Desktop Mgr > Device Switch Wizard but it messed up the Messages/Corporate Email. After syncing the device with the BES he got double copy of the emails that are currently in his Inbox.
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.
You can do a Backup of the old, and then a selective restore from the backup to the new device...
DM > Backup/Restore > Advanced.
Select only those preference databases you desire (i.e., Address Book preferences, Speed Dial, etc.).

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?
You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue. -
Did all these things mentioned in this article, even did a system reset including erase data and other settings. iOS is up to date, still the iPad 2 display is not rotating.
This happened first a couple of weeks before, then I did a reset and it worked. Then after 2-3 days it happened again, I updated the iOS and it worked after that. Next time it happened, I tried all possible methods, including switching to software - rotation lock on/off. The hardware when turns to off/on, shows the correct icon on the screen of the lock and unlocked state. But the rotation is not happening.Just check again.
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If the iPad screen still will not rotate - turn it over and gently tap it on the back a couple of times - but gently tap it. Make sure that the screen is protected. -
Hi, I am unable to reset all settings.. I don't remember the pass code.. I am able to reset network settings and other settings. Can someone please help
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.
The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.
Fing network scanner. iphone and ipad.
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fing-network-scanner/id430921107?mt=8
This is very popular.. I do not know of what works well on Mac OS because i have installed 5.6 utility which of course has far more info than the later toy version. Plus using an Asus router which has excellent listing of all the clients.
Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking. -
How can I recover a purchased app on one itouch (which has since died) and put it on my new itouch device if I haven't syncronised my old device with my mac/itunes account before it died?
It is easy to download items you have purchased from iTunes again; this article will walk you through it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You want the "Apps on iOS" section. -
Email Filters and Sent messages
Love my new Curve 8310 with AT&T, I'm having a problem with setting up email filters, I tried to set them up with my yahoo account and now I recieve a Yahoo Alert msg that states I got a message from someone that I had already set up a filter for NOT to recieve. I tried setting up the blackberry email service and it asks me if I recieved a password, which I did not. How do I do this??
Also, some of my messages that I thought I sent have not been sent, how do I access my sent msgs? I went to email options and the sent messages are not supposed to be hidden.
If anyone can help me, I would be forever grateful, my phone goes off constantly with useless emails now and it's driving me crazy@!!!!!!!

My 1st generation i-pad has been acting up lately. Can't open: safari, email, facebook, i-book and other apps, it keeps crashing. Is there a solution outside of replacing it.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help either, try restoring your iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software -
Email, calander and contact settings disables
I have a problem where my account settings for synchronizing my email, calender and contacts are disabled or "fall out". I've tried to reset the fabric setting and start over with the configuration steps a couple of times and a few days ago it seemed to work. Until yesterday, when it had been disabled again.
I can't even start up the account settings from my phone, since the device gets "stuck" in the loading/reading section when i touch "accounts" in the setting menu which i guess is because the device doesn't find any existing accounts.
I've tried using both my hotmail and gmail accounts but the same problem appears. I've tried several possible settings for IMAP/POP etc and i've used the verifycation site www.blackberry.com/eavt
Also, when i try to add a contact manually, it doesn't get saved.
Desperate for some help! I want my z10 to work! I love the phone otherwise!Hello Helly_e

How do I save or backup Firefox benchmarks and other settings?
I will be upgrading my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. I need to backup or save my Firefox internet benchmarks, passwords and other setting to a flash drive so that they can be reloaded to Windows 7. How best to go about doing this?
I suggest also saving a copy of your entire user folder under
c:\Documents and Settings\''username''\
(But you can empty your Temp files and IE cache first; you won't need those.)
I should note that it's a huge amount of data because it also contains the My Documents folder, but it's a good backup backup. -
Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.
I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta. -
Strategy group and other settings
Hi all,
If you are getting
1. Custormer requirements for new product(in-house prod)
2. Requirements from Project system for new product (in-house prod)
and you may sell the same developed product over the counter lateron. Then what strategy or strategy group and other necessary settings would be needed for the new material.
Thanks
ShivaHi,
If you are producing against your customer reqmt, you can use the planning strategy as 20. Later you would like to sell this in your counter u can use planning strategy 10 and 40 also. In SAP the same material can be assigned up to 6 planning strategy. Based on the requirement class it will behave according to the planning strategy.

Default email contacts and calendar settings lost
I have an Ipone 5. My default email account was playing up, now that mail is working I've lost my old emails, folders, contacts and calender. helllp please... I've tried deleting the email account and re-adding the account. but still the same thing happens only has new mail. This happened once before just can't remember what I did to resolve it.
Have you tried basic troubleshooting steps from the manual?
Page 34:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on
page 132. "

How do you setup for your multi cores and other settings?
since the preferences doesnt really give us a option does that mean that FCPX just "knows" how good your computer is and what you want to devote (memory wise, etc) to it?
I have the same problem - beach balls and temporary freezing, on 2 Mac Pros (8 Core, 32GB RAM, HD5870 card). All the while CPU and other resources are not maxed out; this is on 10.6.8. there seems to be 'some' bugs - for some people - that in fact make FCPS quite slow (and slowing hte system down as well) all the while there is no bottleneck in hardware....

If I instal Lion, will I lose M.Office and other settings?
My iMac is running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I am considering installing the latest OS Lion. However, I have Microsoft Office, iWork and other programs installed in my computer that I didn't want to lose. I also have a configuration for VPN access for the company I work for which would be very complicated to get that configuration installed again.
Does anyone think that by installing Lion I would lose all that?
I appreciate your coments!
Thanks!Lion might muck with your VPN. Absent details, I can't say for sure. It most likely will have no effect.
A Lion upgrade won't change or cause you to lose any of your software or data. Of course, anything might happen and so you should create a full bootable backup before upgrading, just in case.
You do need to check if any of the software you are using requires Rosetta, which is the PowerPC emulation code used to run older software designed for pre-Intel Macs. If you're using MS Office 2011 and a recent vintage of iWork, both will work fine under Lion. Be sure to update your software before upgrading your OS, and investigate compatibility with Lion so you'll know in advance what will and won't work.

Batch processing photographs in Photoshop Elements 11
