OS X :: Change Computer Owner's Name?
May 20, 2009I'm new to Apple Comps, not having owned one since my Apple IIe long ago. I received a MacBook as a gift last weekend. I've spent the past few days trying to square things away due to a problem. The gifter bought the laptop at Best Buy and had the kinder there set it up and install Office. Unfortunately, the BB people used the name of the purchaser. I've been able to change the name on the Home folder and also the admin account by enabling the root user and tinkering with things. I still see "Snuffy Smith's MacBook" whenever I open Finder. I'm hoping there's any easier fix than to reinstall the OS. I'm running the comp under OS X 10.5.6.

MacBook Air :: How To Change Admin / Owner App Store Account
Dec 6, 2014We have 5 macs in our family, all were configured under my iCloud account for the App store & I just used to log in with my iCloud account on my partner/daughters machines to do updates etc.
Daughter has now gone to Uni & I'd like to move her "App store account" side of things over to her own iCloud account so that she can continue doing updates etc. without needing me.
How do I go about changing this on her machine? I'm not looking to wipe the machine for resale etc. just give her the ability to carry out updates without needing my account details. There are a few minor apps installed on it from my Apple ID but nothing major that she'd worry about losing if she needed to remove them but what is the score in this area anyway?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: "Mail Can't Open Because You Don't Have The Necessary Permissions To Change The Folder Where It Saves Information"
Apr 2, 2012I am no longer able to open Mail. I get the message: "Mail can't open because you don't have the necessary permissions to change the folder where it saves information" It then goes on to tell me where mail stores information and to go to that folder and use the Get Info window to change the privileges to Read and Write (which they already were). I authenticate, change them to Read and then back to Read and Write, click the lock and try again. Same result. I tried to take a screen shot of that window and got this message: "Your screen shot can't be saved. You don't have permission to save files in the location wherescreen shots are stored." Last night I tried to take a screen shot and got the same message. I repaired permissions in Disk Utility and there were thousands of permissions repaired.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIMac :: 27 Inch I3 Information?
Jan 11, 2011I was wondering if anyone here has the 27inch i3 iMac? From most of the posts on the forum, it seems most 27inch owners have the i5 or i7.
The reason I ask is this; I am planning on selling my mid/late 07 24inch iMac and purchasing one of the newer ones. I realise that the best value for money is the base 21.5" i3, however I do want the better graphics card.
The difference in price between the two 21" models is 256GBP here in the UK. However, the difference between the 21" and the i3 27" then becomes only 153GBP, which seems relatively small for the huge increase in screen size.
My uses can be considered quite average; my profession is not in the video/photo industry and hence I don't do anything that can be considered extremely heavy.
What are peoples' experiences with the 27" i3? Further, what are peoples' experiences with such a huge screen size in general? Is it 'too' big?

IMac :: Finding Information About Refurbished 27" And The AppleCare
Jun 12, 2010Well I received my refurbished 27" i5 about two weeks ago. Since taking it out of the box it has consistently rebooted itself and sometimes even shuts down where I can't power it back up unless I remove the cord from the machine and reinsert it. I tried everything to troubleshoot, zapped PRAM, Reset SMC Controller, logged times after removing USB components, ran multiple quick and full hardware tests. Finally I gave one last attempt and wiped my drive clean and reinstalled snow leopard...Not a single one of these measures worked.
So today I finally called applecare for the first time ever. THey were extremely helpful, didn't try to walk me through troubleshooting steps since they understood that I already tried them all. They instead stated that since Im at around 28 days since ordering (may 14) that I can have it repaired or they can claim the one I got as DOA and ship me a brand new one. Once I receive the new one I ship the old one back. They also bumped up my delivery to overnight since I have been putting up with the reboots and trying to troubleshoot myself.

OS X :: Trying To Get Owner Permissions On Used Mac
Dec 5, 2008I just bought my first Mac a month ago, and have since completely ignored my girlfriend for this new lover. I bought a MBA Rev A, used with a ton of software still loaded on it. The problem is, the guy I bought it from was a Korean exchange student, and set the comp with Korean as the native language. I did a password reset to get the language change, then set myself up as an Admin account. The problem I have here is that the software loaded on this laptop is awesome, but I can't update any of it because I don't have owner permissions.
I understand the only way to get owner permissions is to do an Erase and Install of Leopard, but if I do that, then I lose all the software. This laptop came loaded with Adobe CS3, Parallels, Office for Mac, Toast 9 Titanium, and I think there might be another program. My question here is, is there any way to gain access to these programs, by using a copying software to make disk images of them, or by simplifying copying down all of the Product Keys, and reinstalling the programs from a hard disk.
Laptops :: Erasing IBook G4 Laptop - Information On Newer IMac For Synchronizing Two Computers?

Mac Pro :: Refurbished Vs Configuring New & Subsequent Owner Modifications
Oct 17, 2010I use Macs in a publishing business and have done so since 1986. I have read entries here where one user wants to buy/configure equipment that will last five years or be able to last longer than considered typical. I have read the replies indicating that is not possible, too much change and evolution, buy every 2-3 years, and all that. Since 1986 I have had these models: Mac Plus, IIci, 8600, and most recently a G4 1.25 Ghz MDD. I am writing this post on the G4. It is about eight years old. Look at the number of models I list and do the math. Those are the only machines I have had since 1986. I don't believe I could get this kind of service from an iMac or laptop. Note: The 8600 is still my scanning station, run as required.
What I learn is the computer does what it could do initially as well as it ever could. The problems eventually emerging are multiple. Increasing potential for hardware failure, inability to run newer software as operating systems fall behind, and today, an inability to run the most current browsers due to OS falling behind. I want capability to run newer versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and some CAD or solid modeling software. The G4 is doing what it did initially just as well as it ever did. It just can't move forward...........................

Every time I open a project, I get the X or PP start page with the header "Registered To (the previous owner who activated the software).

It's an embarrassing situation, since it suggests that I am either using someone else's iBook or I have a pirated version of the software.
Does anyone know where or how I could edit the script or registration info for MS Office 2008?
This is my first experience with a Mac and the first time using Office 2008 for Mac; my knowledge in this case is limited to registry edits in earlier MS versions and XP.
I've searched many threads and forums without seeing a reference to this particular situation.
