The Mac I used at work was set up under my Apple ID (as were the previous Macs over the last 15 years). Since I left the new person can't do upgrades of the OS because the system want my Apple ID. Anyone know of a work around for at least the last OS?

The machine is a 2012 MacPro. Files, applications, software, etc. are all still used by my replacement. So a clean install is not really a good option.

Open system preferences > users and groups, unlock it, click the "smaller", make a new admin account, log on & into the new account.

It works in the new account?

  • Work around for the Ical does not send do not issue invitations

    If I understand the problem, ical will not send an invitation email to someone it detects has an ical account. People don't know they have an invitation or they use Google or Outlook to their calendars. Despite everything, they just don't receive invitations to your meetings. For some reason, Apple does not change the rules.

    I was going to start using my Google Calendar and just invite myself, but I used my Gmail account as my ID for Apple. Ah, the tangled web we weave when we try to be cute with Apple products.

    In any case, I was wondering if anyone had a work around for this problem "iCal don't send invitations." I want just the people I work with in voluntary organizations to get an email with an invitation attached. Has anyone found a way around this? I'm about to go to Evite!

    Thank you

    You can invite people to events using their e-mail address or their name. To invite people by name, they must be in your Contacts application with an email address, or they must use the same service calendar CalDAV or Exchange as you (for example, your company's employees).

    Invite people using window addresses

    1. Choose window > presentation.
    2. Search people, then drag them to the event.

    Send an email or a message for guests

    1. Control-click on the event.
    2. Choose send all guests or Message all guests.

    Add guests to the Contacts

    1. Force or double-click on a click event.
    2. Hold the pointer over a guest, and then click the pop-up menu .
    3. Choose Add to Contacts.If you do not see Add to Contacts, but you do not show Contact card, the guest is already in Contacts.

  • Work around for server not found problems on FF36

    I found a work around for all people with server not found problems with FF36.

    If you manually set your DNS network adapter to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem disappears. I set mine to use the google DNS servers:

     Preferred: 8.8.8.8
     Alternate: 8.8.4.4
    

    No idea why this works, but it is 100% success on my desktop PC, whereas before I could not connect to a Web page with FF36 without updating the multiple page and a lot of frustration, although FF35 was fine and back to FF35 turnover was as beautiful.

    Something has changed in FF36 and how it manages the DNS or the mode of operation with certain network cards.

    There is nothing to do with the Add - ons, profiles or software firewall as I tried all these things and that the DNS change makes a difference. I even copied on a full profile and directory of program files to work for Mozilla on my laptop which saw no problem and the problem still exists on the desktop, which is why I started watching the network adapater since everything between the working PC and no work was identical.

    I hope that this will help the developers to identify the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next version.

    AG - your problem looks different you had FF36 work.

    Considering that the problem of many of us that when we spend FF35 in FF36 we get a lot of server is found errors when you try to load Web pages.

    Sometimes they load and then they stop loading and then if you click Refresh a lot that they sometimes then charge again, or you have to wait a minute or two and then they load.

    For some reason any using an external DNS server {see # 698286 answer ~ J99} has stopped this problem completely, as does return to FF35.

    We need an expert on to Mozilla DNS resolution to focus on this. [*] See my note under ~ J99 Seems to me that you use an external DNS server adds some latency to name resolution and maybe this is necessary for the network card in the PC that encounter this issue to resolve the addresses of Web page.

    Obviously something changed in FF36 FF35 to cause this problem. I'm open to Mozilla contact me by E-mail if they want me to try something else to help pin it down.

    *

    change Note the John99
    Mozilla can consider WHETHER we are able to provide evidence to support this. We must be able to complete a report of bug with right steps to reproduce (STR). Developers should be able to see themselves the problem before we can expect to focus on this.

  • Does anyone know a program of accounting for Mac?

    II am looking for a program of accounting for Mac, any suggestions?

    There are literally hundreds of them. Search for others on the App Store. Search on MacUpdate and by searching on Google. There is no way we could make a suggestion. You will need to research, test them, and then make your choice based on your needs and what can do the software.

    How to safely use MacUpdate to download malicious software free software: *

    This site has both free and paid members accounts. If you don't have then some software will be distributed in a wrapper for an installation that includes adware/malware, you can not. Such a download may appear on your computer as follows: Firefox installer.dmg. Remove the download and return to the main site where you will find a direct link to the Web site. Use this link to download the software.

    To avoid these downloads to MU simply create a free membership account. Sign in to your account before using the site. You can avoid the wrappers of the installer and download of adware or malware. I continue to use their site without any problems.

    If you prefer not to create a membership account and note that on the download page under the price area will be the link to the developer site. Use this link and download the software directly from the developer work around the use of MU altogether.

  • Does anyone have a work around for the design on PowerMac G5 2005 flaw that causes noise interference on the outputs? (Audiophile, sound engineer)

    OK, here's my problem - I have a set of audio interface Protools Digi 002 via Firewire 400 on a PowerMac G5 I was lucky enough to be given last year. I finally managed to connect my home recording studio system, he wire of mixer etc, but when I listen to the music coming from the outputs of the Digi 002 there in a great cacophony of audio interference, so much and so well, when I mount the system I can move my pointer between two monitors and it plays a different frequency of buzz. Everytime I open a window, Soft etc it is more electronic noise.

    He took a while to limit, but after reading this excerpt from wikipedia, it seems that it was a fault common to this particular model until Apple released the revised version of the B of the G5 (?);

    ' The first versions of the dual processor G5 have problems of noise . The first is ground loop- based interference,[5] that sometimes causes noise seeps into the outputs audio analogue. This bug has been fixed in Rev. B G5.'

    and

    ' Well that the noise problems do not prevent computers affected work, they asked problems for audio professionals and enthusiasts as well, especially for models to liquid cooling, which had been expressly designed as mechanically quiet for listeners. "

    Well, that's no euphemism - in fact it makes the mac completely useless for my needs, I need the outputs clean digital noise to send for outboard effects/EQ/etc.

    As it was a common fault, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a workaround solution, as I can't imagine recording ground studios just stop until this has been fixed by releasing a new G5?

    The only idea that I came up with so far is to buy a transformer of isolation, but I'm not entirely convinced that will solve the problem?

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried CHUD Tools & turn off NAP mode?

    The first versions of the dual processor G5 have problems of noise . The first is ground loop- based interference,[5] , which causes sometimes analog audio output sound leaks. This bug has been fixed in Rev. B G5.

    The second problem of noise came from his "tweets", which can be triggered by power fluctuations. For example, display or hide the Dock makes a short beep. Many blamed the power supply used in the G5 as the cause, but this theory has never been confirmed. A very effective workaround is to disable microprocessors 'siesta' using Apple CHUD Tools, but this was not recommended by Apple. This noise problem has not set until the generation of dual-core G5s was produced, but it does not affect the model of "Late 2004" (at least there have never been reports). Draw of power fluctuation has been later attributed to the lack of power management features in processors simple heart. [6] Apple eventually posted information bug tweets on its support site. [7]

    Although noise problems did not prevent the computers assigned to work, they were problematic for audio professionals and enthusiasts as well, especially for models with cooling liquid, which had been expressly designed as mechanically quiet for listeners.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G5

    Just one last note on the use of CHUD tools to disable the 'Nap' on the G5 Dual functionality: restart your machine reactive 'Nap '. You may have already seen this on the Apple forums. Kind of a bummer - although I rarely shut down my machine. In any case, running with 'Nap' off today seems to have resulted in a significant increase in general speed/responsiveness for me (I'm still running the stock 512 MB RAM, with another 1 GB on the way).

  • is there a work around for the connection with https. the ssl/tls security patch prevents us to connect to a known trusted site

    I made the mistake of updating to Firefox yesterday and with the ssl security fix find I can most connect to a web site in a data center which is protected by a fortigate appliance.

    I know the correct answer is to get the updated device updated or replaced, but in the meantime, I'm desperately need a workaround solution. It would be nice if there was an archive of old versions of Firefox.

    I changed the configuration settings to allow the renegotiation, but I think that the problem is more fundamental than that it does not appear that older versions of ssl are more provided.

    The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.

    See comment 60 in this bug report for workaround, but be aware that this makes you vulnerable to the attack of the BEAST.

  • Studio EN - is there a work around for the problem of referencing data from a grid with a different connection of DB and # different dimensions?

    Hello

    I'm making reference to a column in a different grid with a different database connection. I did some searching in the forums, and it seems that it is a known problem with EN Studio. The problem is that if 2 different database connections have different number of dimensions, then the reference will throw an error.

    For example, what I try to do, is below:

    In grid2.column [A], I have the following formula:

    Grid1. Column [A]

    The result is an error.

    The ultimate goal is to have a base of variance formula in the grid between grid1 and grid2, who have connections to different database with a different number of dimensions. Is there a solution to this bug? The example of the basic formula is less to:

    Grid1. Column [A] - grid2.column [A]

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thank you

  • Work around for lack of application features.

    OK, so I know that the real answer is get the functionality added to the demand but is not our application and we must use it.  Accordingly, I adapt the requirements in a complete application.

    The database (and thus the data entry form) do not collect data that we need (and as above I can't do nothing about it!).  It is not as bad as it sounds as it collects tha virtually all we want, but I'm missing a few columns

    He has a comment field that accepts free text.

    My thought is to use a hashtag tag content type markup in the comments field

    for example

    #title < Red-cap > #publisher < Penguin > #pages < 2 >

    Now - the real problem is I can not be sure what hashtags people could use (yes I know it's bad design too, but like I said...)

    So what I need to be able to do is to take the comment field and analyze extract the hashtag name and the content of the data.

    for example

    title Red Riding Hood

    Publisher Penguin

    pages 2

    I haven't started a thread filtering using regular expressions to see if I could use regular expressions and it helped me sort

    OK - well (or poorly)

    Finally, I would like to create virtual columns in a State to show these hashtags as data - is it possible to create a form any opinions or pl/sql to do this.  In other words the data analyzed in a structure I could issue a select statement against

    A big ask - but if someone can help me I would be eternally grateful.

    Here's a way to do what you want:

    SELECT id

    REGEXP_SUBSTR ([notes, '<([^>] *)', 1, LEVEL, NULL, 1) AS value

    CONNECT BY LEVEL<= regexp_count="" (notes,="">

    AND PRIOR id = id

    AND PRIOR SYS_GUID () IS NOT NULL

    ORDER BY id

    LEVEL

    ;

    This assumes that the id is unique, and that notes is correct, in other words, each ' # ' in notes is followed by a "<' and="" then="" a="" '="">", as it is in your sample data.

    This is NOT to assume that there is nothing between these symbols, i.e. the NULL columns or values are OK.

    Out (as you asked):
