User Settings and System Settings
Which settings are stored at the user level and which settings are stored at the system level? I asked Apple support if it was possible to reset all Mavericks settings to default and retain my apps and data. They suggested I create a new user and transfer my personal files over. I expected this to start with all the settings at default, but I've found that the Network and Energy Saver settings remained the same. What other settings are not set to default when a new user is created?
Also, Apple failed to mention that the new user would have to take ownership of the old user's files. I'm wondering if the command below was the proper way to do so:
sudo find / -user oldusername -exec chown newusername {};
All system-level settings are stored in /Lbrary/Preferences/, including the hidden .GlobalPreferences.plist file.
Can't help with the Unix command, but seriously doubt their advice. Why would you want to create a new user? The normal way to reset user settings is to remove the plist files stored in /username/Library/Preferences/.

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?
I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5. I import via firewire from the camera. My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV. Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output. I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
Thanks again everyone. Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A". -
Cannot click on settings and global settings in dialogue box
Google chrome updated to new flash player 10.3.184.14 now when I right click flash screen and get the dialogue box and click on settings or global settings nothing happens.. but if I refresh game or page sometimes or intermittently I do get the local settings box, but only once.. when it goes away I have to refresh page. and sometime it works sometimes not.. the same happens with the global settings.... I looked for Flash player in my control panel, but was not there.. I switched over to IE-8 and downloaded version 10.3.xxx.xx now have it in my control panel.. If I play games or view flash content in IE. I can right click screen and can always click settings or global settings and it works each time, no matter how many times I do it,, but in Google Chrome it does not... Am I doing something wrong, do I need to import from other browsers in GC why cant I access settings and global settings after right clicking flash screen in Google Chrome?????
Hi, I think your thread got pushed to the 2nd page.
In addition to Security updates in this 10.3.181.14, there is included a Flash Settings Panel Manager.
Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser’s privacy settings in Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, Google Chrome 11 (Available in Chrome Dev Channel), and a future release of Apple Safari.
When you open the Flash Player icon from the Control Panel, be sure to check each Tab (Storage, etc)
Also under the tab Storage you will find the info on Private Browsing, so be sure to read this info in case you use that.
My understanding of this new feature with Flash Player vs 10.3.181.14 can be used with the above listed browser versions.
Those not listed can use the Settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

Some apps and iphone info tells me to go to "settings" and in "settings" choose "location services". Under settings on my phone there is no "location services". What's up with that?

Pick the appropriate link for the version of iOS installed on your device.
FYI, the iPhone 4S never ran iOS4 so the link from which the questions was posted is not relevant to your device. -
my IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.
Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either. -
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

User status and System status for Trade Promotion
Hi all!
CRM 7.0 Web UI Trade Promotion Management.
I have a trade promotion with custom status already assigned and visible from WEB UI, Is it possible assigning to such TP also a standard status picked amongst TP system status?
Take into account that in the as is configuration we find in the same TP drop down list user status and system status.
2 questions:
1. How can I hide the system status?
2. It is possible to group together user status and system status? E.g. User status: fundrequest, inplanning, submitted...+ released (system status).Hi Virginia Zitun,
Can you tell me how did you manage to solve the issue.
rgds,

Hi - I am assuming your other wireless devices can connect so try this - go to Settings-->General-->Reset-->Reset Netwrok Settings - if this doesn't work you are still in your 90 day support window so I would contact Apple directly at - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Core audio stutter after user migration (with system settings)
my girlfriends mbp recently fried its logicboard. Shes got a new 13" now, but migrated her user to my mbp in the while waiting. She also imported the system settings (machine name was changed) and since then my core audio is messed up. I use a Tascam US-122, Motu 828MK2 and Digi 003 and at the moment only the Motu and built-in audio drivers work normally. The other two stutter. Re-installing drivers for the devices did not help.
Any advice on what to trash or should i try to install 10.6 on top of this again?
This is a 3 month old install and i'm not keen on doing it again.anybody?

Powershell export User properties and policy settings

How to save user name and system date in a table
I have a form that allow users to enter some information...
I want to save user name in one of the columns and system date in another column by default when the user submit the form to save data...
Please advice...
ThanksHi talbo,
The most reliable method is to use a before-insert trigger on your table. This way the columns will be set properly no matter how rows are inserted (via your app or any other means). Given your user name column is called "CREATE_USER" and your date column is called "CREATE_DATE" for example - include these lines in a before-insert trigger:
:NEW.CREATE_USER := NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER);
SELECT SYSDATE INTO :NEW.CREATE_DATE FROM DUAL;The NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER) will set CREATE_USER to the current ApEx application user if the row is created from within the application, or to the current database user if the row is created outside the application.
Hope this helps,
John
