Can I change the user account on a pre registered macbook pro?
I'm looking at buying a brand new Macbook Pro from someone who has only used it to do a system restore from a previous Macbook. It's a 2012 model and thanks to his system restore it is now running Mavericks. Can I update the user account to my name so that I have the latest version of OS X without reverting it back to Lion?
Yes.
Specifically you create a new admin account with your name (or any other name of your choosing), log in with it and then delete the other account you don't want.

How can I change the USER name of my i-cloud e-mail account? It was set up by my son and he used a silly / embarrassing user name. I would like to change this name OR set up another i-cloud e-mail account under my own name / reference. Help?
iCloud email addresses can't be changed or deleted, but you can set up an alias namethat he can use which will be linked to his current iCloud account and will receive email in the existing iCould inbox. This guide explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

how can i change the user on FaceTime? im trying to do this on a iMac
I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. The proceedure on your system is probably similar.
Get the Facetime window up, and go to Facetime preferences. Click on "account," you'll see a view account option that will prompt you to sign in with your Apple id and password. From there you can make the changes that you want. -

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)? It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password. When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct. Puzzled!
I have another question for the community. My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her. I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address? Thanks -

I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro?
I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro? It shows a kind of "stop" sign? I can get the speakers to work by connecting my headphones to the computer and choosing the sound to be on the speakers, but as soon as I take the headphones out, I can't get any sound out of the speakers..
Sometimes there is a "Red" light coming out of the AUX-port?Hey vgamborg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs

Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
Have a nice day,
