I've run into a nasty problem in that my main user account is no longer visible at the login screen, only the guest user account. Basically there is no way I can figure out to get back into my Air other than the safe Safari guest account.Â
I'm in desperate need for a solution as I need to access files for a conference call in 3 hours.

I've a user who has been given a company shared MacBook Air. The account name was previously our company name, but I've sucessfully followed the guide [URL] to change this. Thus, the username is now now his firstname & lastname. The home folder is firstnamelastname. However, the old username (our company name) is still showing up as the username for some email recipients and airdrop.I'm guessing the email name might be saved localy on a few of the users contacts since he's been sending a few emails before the user name was updated. Can this be confirmed in any way?

My daughter in law logged onto her iCloud acct on my MAC. How do I remove her account? I have gone to System Preferences - iCloud - and tried to sign her out. It will not let me..   It said "Mail was unable to delete (her mail) Relaunch mail and then sign out of iCloud again"
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen returning to my login account (admin) after using "quick user account change" I am not able to use the Shift key to enter uppercase letters in my password. I must use Caps Lock to enter them (nothing happens if I type while holding the Shift key).
At all other times the shift work just fine.
This seems really strange.
Note: This is not a sticky key issue (brand new iMac).

iMac OS X 10.6.8. previously migrated account -- need to rename the account at the destination. Step 6 in the support page does not occur. I never get a chance to hit OK to this: 6. Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents. A red flag appears in the field that conflicts (either the short name or the full name). The name(s) cannot be changed! must cancel out.Â

ViewNX from Nikon would not work. After many days troubleshooting, Nikon Support suggested uninstalling ViewNX, creating a new administrative account and reinstalling under the new account.
It worked, Yippee, All is right with the world!...Well almost.
Now we have to move her mail and AddressBook from one administrative account to the new account ON THE SAME MACHINE. These last words are of extreme importance. None of the instructions I find work in this scenario.
1. copy ~/Library/Mail to the same folder of the new account.
2. copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to same folder of new the account.
Those instructions work if you move them to a new computer, but if you are on the same computer the permissions are remembered and it doesn't work.
How do I change the name in the iCloud account details in system preferences? For some reason it has picked up a wrong name and everytime I try to change it it does not memorise the change but keeps defaulting back to the wrong name. It therefore means that everytime I accept an invite for an appointment in Ical it shows the wrong name.

I have few questions with regards to the above. First here's the facts: I have existing .mac account, but never use it for Mail. Only for iTunes & everything else related to my Mac including this communityI've tried using MobileMe for a trial period and never subscribed to it after it was over. Therefore I also have a .me account under my (chosen) usernameI am currently using MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.3 I do sync my Mac with iPhone (or vice versa) via iCloud for many apps except Mail Now, I'm trying to enable Mail & Notes from my iCloud setting on my Mac. But it's asking me to create an email address (username@me.com). I tried keying in my existing .me account but obviously that won't work. How do I do this using my existing .me account or better if I can use my .mac account. Personally I prefer my .mac account of course
