My prompt in Terminal looks like this:
Code:
MacBook-de-Pedro-Gordo:~ Pedro_Gordo$
How can I remove permanently my username (Pedro_Gordo) from the prompt, so it looks like this:
Code:
MacBook-de-Pedro-Gordo
I have two users on my mac mini running OS X 10.7.4, both are administrators. When I click on my username in the upper right hand corner of the screen and select the second user, I can type in the password and "rotate" on over to the other user. However, from the second user account when I try and go back to the first user via the same process, no prompt appears when clicking on the user name from the drop down in the top right of the screen.

I want to stop using updated Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I think it happens in 10.7.4 too IIRC)'s Flurry screen saver and just let Mac OS X 10.5.8 blank/sleep its screen to save energy, not make Macs (Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, etc.) hot especially in the heat waves, and use less resources. I noticed making display (not the computer) sleep and then waking does not ask me to log in like a screen saver would do. Is there a way to do this for sleeping displays?Â

When I look at the page that tells me how much of my download allowance I've used it also tells me what devices are connected to my BT Home Hub wireless network. As well as my computer there is an iphone which isn't mine. I want to know how to I get rid of them?
I also can't understand how they got on there in the first place but that's another matter.
Other than using MAC Address Access Control, is there another way of temporarily removing a user/computer from having access to an Airport Extreme wireless network?There is currently an unruly teenager come stay with my family to have a holiday/get some work experience, but she's on her laptop (accessing Facebook) until the early hours of the morning. As a result she's been late for work every morning. I'd like to bar her computer from accessing the internet from maybe 10pm - 7am.Is this possible, other than using MAC AAC?

as an extension to my question regarding RAM utilization, I've decided to upgrade my RAM. I went through the process of removing the underside of my MBP. After taking the screws out and mentally marking which slot they came out of (some are of different size), I pulled the lid up at the black trim area (the "neck" of the display mount) as this was the easiest way to get a non-damaging grip on the metal underside -- read: I avoided using a screw driver on the lid. As I started to lift, I was surprised at the amount of force I needed to use in order to remove the lid; something near the center of the cover was still holding the lid to the underside of the body. In fact, the amount of force I needed to use made me pause to question if I missed an important step other than simply removing the screws. I decided to "go for it" and applied more pressure while pulling the lid up and away from the body and heard a "pop" noise.

I have an account for my parents, and they don't need a password, but if they try and install software etc - it comes up with the Password Prompt window. Obviously, you don't enter anything into the password field and just continue on, but seeing how there is no password in the first place, why does it still ask for one?
I've been a Mac user for a few years, but have never came across this - I always use a password
I just installed Boot Camp on my 15' MBP. I'm not all too thrilled that the MBP will boot up the default OS so I'm wondering if there any option/preference that will allow me to select which OS to boot every time I start up my computer? On my windows PC I had XP and 7 installed and I had the option to select which one to boot whenever I started up my laptop. Is there anything like this for a Mac? I checked the Boot Camp control panel and I didn't see any settings in there for this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUntil recently, Terminal 2.1.1 under Mac OS X 10.6.3 worked just fine for me. But now it has just stopped loading the prompt. I can open new Terminal windows but they are blank. I have tried logging out and in to my user account but this has not fixed it. I have made minor changes to my .bash_profile (see below) but all long before this problem began. I have not changed the directory structure so it should be able to CD to Dropbox/Drominay. I have not changed any preferences in Terminal other than those related to colour etc. In particular, it's still set to load the default login shell at startup.
.bash_profile is:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=/usr/local/man:$MANPATH

I have enabled the prompt for a password when waking from screensaver and this works fine as long as I respond to the password prompt quickly. However, if I don't respond fairly quickly then the password prompt disappears leaving a black screen with just the mouse pointer visible. No matter what I type I can't bring the password prompt back up and therefore can't gain access. The only way I can do this is to press the power button and wait for 5 minutes or so before bringing it back out of sleep and typing my password more quickly.
The machine is a new iMac 2.4G 24" if that makes any difference. All latest updates applied.
My wife has a G4 iBook 1.33 GHz power pc, 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, L2 cache 133 mHz, with Mac OSX - leopard - several times a day the following prompt appears - "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button".

View 14 Replies View RelatedThat little prompt you get when you go through the apple menu at the top left and hit shut down. It gives you 60 seconds, etc... I want to know how to initiate that from the terminal. I keep apcupsd running on my mac mini server, and if the power goes out, i want it to tell my machines to shut down. I already have a growl message setup letting me know when the power goes out (forwarded to my iphone over prowl, etc etc). I can ssh into the systems via bash scripting and issue the command, that's np. I just have no idea wtf the command is to throw that prompt.

Both iCloud and FaceTime are continually prompting for passwords. Hitting 'cancel' usually dismisses the iCloud box, but the FaceTime box just keeps reappearing.Â
I don't want to enter either password until I'm ready to, and I especially could care less about FaceTime because I don't use it on this computer. It can go away completely. So how can I shut it off and tell it to stop bothering me?
Looking to stop the password prompt from coming up every time I try to delete a file after enabling SMB file sharing for my administrator account (while working with files in that account). Everything else works fine with regards to file sharing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFrom time to time, my terminal shell prompt gets hijacked and set to something useless by another program or process. For example, it currently reads: "qtsoftware >" , probably from a QuickTime update, but I can't say for sure. Anyway, when this happens, I'm unable to reset the prompt to a customized version via .tcshrc -- instead, the unwanted garbage gets prepended to whatever I configure via .tcshrc. Restarting Terminal doesn't help. This obviously isn't the end of the world, but it's intensely annoying since, when I do need to use Term, I usually use about ten windows at once, and prompts matter.
my .tcshrc setting: set prompt = "%m [%/] What you say?"
my prompt: qtsoftware [/Users/kathleenduke] What you say?
