What happens if I change user id

My phone interest my two macs as the same computer. To fix this, I am going to change the user id. When I do this, how will it affect my other devices as well as my computer.

Having different account names shouldn't affect any other devices. I assume you mean that both computers have the same user id name and showing the same host name. They do have different mac addresses and should still be fine. But instead of changing the user id of your account, try changing the computer name in System Preferences in the Sharing Pane so it will be different than the other.

    Hi Claire,
    When you install the software and sign in with your Adobe ID that is what keeps track of your usage. If want to switch computers, you can sign out from any of the Creative Cloud (CC versions) apps using the Help > Sign Out, for CS6 apps included with Creative Cloud the option is Help > Deactivate. If for some reason you weren't able to go through this process, like a computer hardware problem, and attempted to use the software on more than two computers what happens is you get a prompt saying you are attempting to use the software on more than the allowed number of computers and it asks if you would like to deactivate all computers. This allows you to go through the activate process again on the two that you want to use.

    Hello, I d like to buy Lightroom but first I want to know if this is possible to install it on two different computers? If not, what happen if I change my computer. Thks for your help.

    The standard licence covers installation on any two computers - one being in use at any time.
    If you change computers, simply uninstall from the old machine and install on the new - Lightroom doesn't use "dial home" activation and deactivation.

  • What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

    What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

    Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
    Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

  • What happened to "Watch this user"?

    Hello,
    I used to be able to select "Watch this user" similar to how I can select "Watch this topic".
    This was a great feature when I found someone who seemed to work on similar issues as I am.
    Now I can no longer see that feature. What happened?
    Thanks!

    Craig and Mark,
    Thank you both for replying. If I could I'd assign "Solved Problem" to both your replies but I can't. So I did the next best thing and assigned "Helpful Answer" to Craig's and "Solved Problem" to Mark's.
    The only reason I gave Mark more is because it actually had instructions for how to do it.
    Thanks again to both of you. I understand the privacy issue but I really miss the feature. I think it'll be hard to get people to turn it back on.
    Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

    How does notification about this kind of change get out to people? This isn't a minor change. Was there some notification and I just don't know where to look?

  • What happens to old iPhone users

    To all AT&T or Apple employees out there on Apple Discussions,
    Let's say, hypothetically, my old first generation iPhone breaks, and it is still under warranty (and it is replaceable by the warranty). What happens? Won't Apple have to give me the new 3G as a replacement? But will my plan remain the same, or will I have to upgrade just because my phone broke?
    Also, is there an easy way for earlier iPhone owners to upgrade to the new 3G (I am expecting to fork over some money to do this, but it would be cheaper/easier than just buying a whole new phone with a new number and new plan)?
    Thanks,
    thealexness

    You will get a first generation iPhone. They have plenty for repair/refurbishment issues.

    You do it like everyone else. Go to an Apple or AT&T store. You can keep your same number.

  • What happens to my local user data? -newbie question sorry

    Hi All,
    Firstly apologies if this seems a dumb question, I've scoured the forums but I require something that fits my specific situation.
    I've had a (my first) MacBook for about 9 months, built up a fairly healthy local user, setup just how I like it, MobileMe, iTunes, Chrome, iPhoto library, lots of other apps, etc etc and so forth.
    I'm setting up a Mac Mini Server, and was wondering what I can do to join the new server, but take all my settings/downloads/iTunes etc with me... I don't want it all stored on the server, but I come from a Micro$oft Windows background. With MS, when you add a PC to a domain, login with the appropriate user account, you have a fresh profile, no settings, no files, no customisations etc etc is this also the case when I hit that Join Network Account server button on my Mac? Will I get a blank fresh account on my Macbook?
    I'm guessing this must happen quite often as people start their way into Apple technology and build up a nice healthy local account before branching further into the Apple world...

    The two laptops I use everyday have access to all the servers via my network account. It is set so that my user account is listed as having "no home" So I log into the laptop with my local user account with a UID of 501 but access all the network services via the go menu and my network account of the same name but with a UID of 1034.
    For all other users in the company, if they are on a laptop, I use network accounts. The machines are managed to ask if the user wants to create a mobile account when they login. For permanently assigned laptop users, the answer is yes. This puts their home on the laptop and ties them to that machine. I use mobile account syncing to make sure their critical data is copied to the server for backup.
    By having the machine ask to create the mobile account, users can answer no and login to their network home. The use of the laptop may be needed temporarily if a regular workstation is down.
    Once in a while I will need to convert a local account to a network account. While a bit more laborious that setting it up correctly at the beginning, it can be done.
    But I never let any user account have the UID of 501. I would set that up as the local admin account I use for installing updates and performing other maintenance. If needed, I would back up the user data and erase and re-install the OS.

  • What happen if I change a role after I released the transport?

    Here is my Scenerio:
    1) Assuming I've created a role : ROLE1 in DEV
    2) I create a transport TR1 with that ROLE1, NOT yet released.
    3) Then I added ME21 txn to ROLE1.
    4) Then I released the transport TR1
    5) Then I remove ME21 txn from ROLE1.
    6) Then I transport role from DEV to QA.
    Q1) I would expect In QA, ROLE1 will still has ME21. - True?
    Q2) TR1 will be the snapshot of the ROLE1 when I release the transport TR1 - True?
    Now, I want to delete the ROLE1,
    A) I would need to create another Transport TR2 first with ROLE1 in DEV
    B) Then delete ROLE1 in DEV
    C) Then release Transport TR2
    D) Then I decided that I still need ROLE1. (oops)
    Q3 I should not transport TR2 so that it won't delete it in QA. - True?

    You should add the role again to the Transport to avoid inconsistency

    Answer: If you reassign the role to the TR then you will get.
    > Q2) TR1 will be the snapshot of the ROLE1 when I release the transport TR1 - True?
    Answer:  TRUE (but without ME21 if you don't add the change to the CR - see below for detail discussion)

    > -
    > Q3 I should not transport TR2 so that it won't delete it in QA. - True?
    Answer:  TRUE. And if you want the role again back to DEV without recreating it, please download the role from QAS or PROD and then Upload it to DEV. After that you need to generate the Profile of the role.
    > -
    FYI:   When a Change is Included into a request to send in other systems, then this request is called "Change Request" (CR). After Releasing, the CR called as "Transport request".
    CRs are basically (in layman language) the Pointers to the DB changes performed. These are included into a CR as "Task". A CR can contain multiple Tasks created by different users.
    Please note if this is a Workbench CR then it is ONLY editable by that particular user(owner of the Task). Also the Object captured in a Task of a WCR possesses a Lock till it gets released and thus can't be added to any other Task of a different CR. The Objects are unlocked when the Tasks and the CR is released respectively.
    There are no Object Lock for Customizing CRs ... like your TR1 which contains Creation / Deletion of roles.
    After the release of each Task, all Objects contained into every Task are transferred to the Change Request. After release of all Tasks, the CR owner can release the CR and thus the Transport Request has been initiated. Technically, at this time, a copy of Data from the Database of DEV captured under the headers of each Tasks are written to Data Files in Central Transport Directory.
    Now coming to your queries..... there are no such synchronization happens for a Task if the Objects are edited in different time frames before Release.  So, when you added ME21, again you need to assign this change to the same CR. (_Answer to your Q1_)
    Please let me know if you have any confusion / query.
    Regards,
    Dipanjan

  • What happened to Find/Change Special Characters

    I am a recent update from FrameMaker 9 to FrameMaker 11. I use many notations with non-breaking hyphens and non-breaking spaces. In version 9 I was able to use the hex codes in the Find/Change dialog box and find and replace those notations. Now in version 11, it does not find those characters. I end up finding more than I want.
    For Example: I want to find
    (E-Vote Sept. 12, 2008)
    This text has a non-breaking hyphen and the spaces shown are non-breaking also. When I entered these characters into the document, I used "Esc hyphen h" key sequence for the hyphen and "Control+space" for the spaces.
    When I enter "(E\x15Vote\x10Sept.\x1012,\x102008)" and press the Find button, FrameMaker converts the text to "(E\+Vote\s#Sept.\s#12,\s#2008)" and returns with a statement "Not Found." I get the same error if I copy the text and paste it into the Find/Change Dialog box. I have tried this with the "Consider Case," "Use Wildcards" and the "Whole Word" checks both off and on. I can't get it to find it.
    Honestly, I never noticed if verstion 9 did the conversion, from \x15 to \+ and \x10 to \s#, in the Find/Change dialog box because it always found what I was looking for.
    I hope someone can tell me how to fix this because this is a function that I use all the time in FrameMaker. I use non-breaking hyphens and spaces all over my documents.
    I have also reported this as a bug because that is what if feels like to me. I did go out and updated my installation of FrameMaker, thinking that this may have been reported and fixed already.

    Chris,
    That's odd. It (dialog-box codes) works for me on my systems:
    Using the dialog-box codes works perfectly. The unicode values for the non-breaking space (nbsp = \u00A0) and non-breaking hyphen (\u2011), however, aren't working. It looks like the wrong glyph is being substituted in both cases.
    This is definiely a bug when doing a unicode-value search.

  • HT4796 What happens with my old user account on my MacBook?

    Once this process is done, is there a way to delete my first user account on my Mac? I mean, this is saying that everything will transfer to a new account; it won't merge with your current account on the Mac. I only want ONE user account on my MacBook. But then again, what about the apps I've installed and am using, such as Final Cut Pro or Pages? Will they be gone on my new user account that has my migrated data? Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, to clarify "once this process is done" - I'm talking about once Migration Assistant is done. I'm migrating my data from my old PC laptop to my new MacBook Pro.

  • What happens if i change some data in delvery after it is totally completed

    Hi all ,
                I have a small question . I have sales order which completed its cycle. I mean delivery completed and accounting documents cleared.
    Now can I change the delivery just to updating the serial numbers in it ? what could be the result. ?
    Rewards for sure
    Thanks
    Mmn

    hi
    Updation of serial no.s or any change is not possible if next document to delivery is created, Here till accounting document is created and hence u wil need to reverse all transaction is alloweed.
    According to me updatoin of serial nos. will be only needed to extend the warranty for the unit to correct serial no. In thase case u will need to update the EQUI records for this serial no and assign these serial no to the material / sales order / delivery item in the tables ur client has defined.
    Reward if helpful
    KInd Regards

  • BT Yahoo Mail: what happens if I change my service...

    Although I am frightfully clever and intelligent I am utterly baffled by stuff like ISPs and email systems. I'm moving to Virgin from BT, and I am wondering what will happen with my btinternet/BT Yahoo! mail email addresses. Will I lose these?

    Yes, but see this.

  • What happens if I change computers?

    I really want to start a membership with the Creative Cloud, although, I am afraid that when I use the download for both my personal PC and Mac that if anything happens to either computer or I decide to sell/trade them, I wont be able to put a new program on the new computer.
    What are the terms around this? I feel like it would be so much work if I were to be paying for these programs to jump through hoops every time a computer didn't suite my needs or
    crashed on me.
    Can anyone help me with some insight, because I really want to invest into this membership.
    Thanks!

    A little extra information:
    If you ever install and try to sign-in Creative Cloud on a third computer, you'll be given a warning when you try to sign-in on that computer, because two activations have already been registered:
    Either to sign-out of one of your other devices (computers) - You can do this from the Creative Cloud Desktop application that's available in the Taskbar (Win) and Menubar (Mac), click the gear-icon in top-right and choose Preferences, then click Account and Sign-Out.
    Or choose the second option, which will deactivate Creative Cloud on all other devices (this means that if you were to use one of those devices again, you'd need to Sign-In again).
    If you ever plan on getting rid of a computer, or getting a new one, the best thing to do is Sign-Out of Creative Cloud on the old computer AND uninstall it. Then you can sign-in on your new computer without any issues hopefully .
    Cheers,
    Cari

  • What happens to a new user of iOS8 with one Apple ID?

    I have one Apple ID that my wife and I use. I updated both iPone 5s' and her iPad Air. All of a sudden incoming calls started ringing on both phones whether they were calling me or her and the iPad  was showing an incoming FaceTime call. iMessages began showing up on both phones and the iPad. I went to the Genius Bar for help with the phones, iPad, and my MacBook Pro for help. I knew the problem was in the settings somewhere. They showed me that I needed to set the Messages and Facetime settings the way I wanted these services to work. They found the phone numbers were not set up correctly and fixed that. Last evening my wife and I decided to check if everything was working as expected. We used our home phone to call each number and still had the same issue!!!! All the devices were ringing at the same time again. I went into the Messages and FaceTime settings again and unselected our Me, Mac, and iCloud  addresses leaving the phone numbers as the only active service. IT WORKED!!!
    Have any of you who have one Apple ID had to deal with any other frustrating issue?

    Hello de.donna2, I personally have not but my family all share the same account and trust me it is frustrating. So what I would advise doing is creating another account and then link it up with the new family share setting. Here you will be able to download each others apps and see what the other is doing.
