How can I find my user name password as I only remember the administrator password for the MacBook?

How can I find my user name password as I only remember my administrator password?I don't want to lose things or content.

If you have only one account, then your admin password is your user password. If you use another account that is not an admin account, then log into your admin account from which you can change the password on your user account.

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order

Issue : After payment run, the required information has been sent as Idoc to the bank. So, we know the payment order number. We observed that another payment run also has picked up this vendor invoice and made payment.
Usually Payment Sent will be marked X until the related information comes in the form of bank statement upload and this amount gets cleared.
We noticed that bank has made two payments for this amount to this vendor on different dates :- a) when the payment order supposed to be paid as per the payment terms and b) when second paymnet run paid the amount [ this time it got paid directly as there is long due amount ].
From SAP APP angle, both the payment run worked fine and also the calcaltion of payment terms as well.
So, we come to conculsion that someone has deleted the payment order from the system. Thats the reason this invoice got picked up by 2nd APP and paid the amount.
Where we could not find the related entry in REGUH/REGUP tables for this payment order and no document changes.
Question: How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order. Appreciate any clue / answer for this issue please.
Thank you
Sri

Hello,
Not sure about deletion logs. =/
Idea:
What if an error occured during the first payment? Have you checked sm13 to check if any update termination occured in the payment program?

Renan

Hi jprohask63,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .

How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .
Please , help me ..

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

It will only show if the device is turned on. And if someone else has it, they can turn that feature off. Your best options are to return to the location where you think you lost it, and see if anyone returned it. Also contact your local law enforcement.

You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
A 3G can go to 5.1.1
IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.

How can I find my account name for signing in to the sync option

I have a sync now button, but, no set up sync key, so I can't get the digits to sync to my new laptop. When I attempt on my new laptop and press the I don't have the other device key, it asks for information including my Account. I don't know where to find that name. I have the password and recovery key; just need to find the name of the Account.

You can only use pair a device if you have already setup Sync on another device because that is how pairing works: both devices need to be online and one device needs to be connected to the Sync server.<br />
The device that you want to add gives a 3x4 character pairing code that you need to enter on the device that has already Sync set up and that is currently connected to the Sync server (so you need to have both devices at hand).<br />
Then the Sync server uses this pairing code to connect to the second device and passes the name and password and Sync key from the first device that has Sync set up to that second device that you want to add.
Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
# open "Firefox > Set Up Sync..." or "Tools > Options > Sync > Set Up Firefox Sync"
# click "I Have an Account"
That brings you to the "Pair a Device" window that shows a 12-character code that you can enter on another device that has Sync set up.
If that isn't possible then click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key) manually.

How can i remove a user name or account from the ipad?

I purchased the iPad from a friend who never used it but entered a user name and profile. When I try to load something from eBooks, it automatically defaults to the other user name and not mine and I don't know how to change it to my user name (email address). How can I completely remove anything related to that other user name and info?

Attach your iPad to your iMac and then in iTunes on the Mac use iTunes > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
