Can I customize the top toolbar of my Mac to make it say my name?

I've seen some people with their names on the toolbar and I'd like to know how to do this.

Welcome to the forums macboy113. Are you speaking of the menu along the top of your screen? On the right hand side you can see your name if you have "faster user switching" implemented with another user or guest account. Under the AppleMenu(upper left)-->System Preferences-->Accounts. Enable guest account. Enable Fast User switching. Hope this helps.
It seems you may not even need to enable a guest account. (From above) under Admin Acct unlock the padlock. Under *Login options* you will see +"fast user switching"+

  • When I open up firefox, I can only see the top toolbar. No window/webpage appears. WHat is wrong?

    When I open firefox, I can only see the top toolbar, including the tabs. The webpage and window below are gone. All I see is the top toolbar, tabs and my background... HELP!

    Did you also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf
    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I can't use the Norton Toolbar on Firefox 4.0 because it says they're not compatable... how can i get them to work?

    The Norton toolbar and the last Firefox i had worked fine together, however, when i updated Firefox, as the information was transferring, it told me that I could no longer use the Norton toolbar because they weren't compatible. It said this even though both of them are updated.

    Sorry Tony but that is a chicken-*! response!
    I just spent 2 hours getting my system back to 3.6 using your instructions. In the end I had to find the last download of 3.6 in my archived files to make it happen. No Firefox 3.6.x file could be found on the Mozilla or Firefox sites contrary to your instructions.
    I deleted all the "extensions" like you suggested. It would have been very helpful if Firefox had stopped me before the installation of 4.0 proceeded to explain the "real" consequences of not having my Norton 4.0 toolbar.
    I have been very happy with Firefox for the past 5-6 years but now you have given me a good reason to go research other browsers like Google Chrome.
    IMHO it was * poor planning on Firefox's part for this launch!

  • How can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser

    In CVI 2012, the toolbar changes depending on the environment, e.g. it is different for the source window and the UI editor. The toolbar can be customized using the menu Options / Toolbar...
    Unfortunately, when using the attribute browser of the UI editor, another toolbar is displayed, i.e. not the UI editor toolbar.... I would have assumed that the attribute browser belongs to the UI editor, obviously it doesn't... So how can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Luis,
    It's nice to have you back 
    Thank you for the clarification, so I'll elaborate a bit more: In the regular workspace toolbar, I have a disk symbol to save the file. This symbol is gone in the attribute browser...
    So I have three different toolbars, for source code (workspace), UI editor, and the UI editor displayed but the attribute browser clicked on (selected)... 
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    UI editor:

  • On pages... I accidentally pressed the 'x' on the top toolbar that has the font formats etc and I don't know how to get it back! Can someone please tell me how?? :)

    I deleted the top toolbar by pressing the x on the side and now I don't know how to get it back!

    Hi Emily,
    In Pages '09, I'd suggest trying the View menu. I don't know how that corresponds to Pages for iOS.
    Regards,

  • How can I show the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    The bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default in Firefox 6, and "view bookmarks toolbar" will only show it until a link is clicked or the tab is changed. How can I display the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    On your toolbar area right click an empty space and open Customize.
    Then drag the bookmark icon up to your toolbar area and drop.

  • How can I customize the URL you land on when you open a new tab

    Right now when I open a new tab the URL is (about:newtab which gives me the option to search yahoo.com) and I would like to land on www.google.com (as this is more useful for me). Can I customize the landing page for when I open new tabs?

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Put BrandThunder.com in the searchbar at the top, then right-click and select '''Reset''' for any preferences that appear with BrandThunder.com. Then restart Firefox.

  • I lost the top toolbar that has Safari-File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Window-Help

    I lost the top toolbar that has apple-safari file-edit-view-history-bookmarks-window help
    How do I restore it?

    View webpages in full screen
    In many applications on the Mac, including Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. You can make a webpage full-screen with one click, and switch to another webpage (or full-screen window in another application) with a swipe of the trackpad.
    IMPORTANT:Viewing in full screen, and the Mission Control feature, are available only if you have Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later. For information on upgrading Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website.
    OS X website
    To enlarge a webpage so it uses the screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an application window:
    To move from one window to another in full screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
    To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s upper-right corner:
    If you prefer viewing webpages in full screen, Mission Control lets you see everything running on your Mac, including your full screen windows. Mission Control presents your full screen windows as thumbnail images, making it easy for you to move from one to another.

  • Where is the top toolbar on the desktop

    Just got a Mac Mini. I can't seem to get the top toolbar to appear. Is it no longer on the new OS ?

    Should be there. Try restarting the computer. If that doesn't work, then reinstall OS X.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I customize the navigation bar in Firefox 29? I would like to have the refresh/stop button back in front of the navigation bar!

    How can I customize the navigation bar in Firefox 29? I would like to have the refresh/stop button back in front of the navigation bar!

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.
    You can restore this functionality by installing the Classic Theme Restorer add-on

  • How can I restore the safari toolbar on my ipad?

    How can I restore the safari toolbar on my ipad? I have read all the threads on this and I am stumped. I have no access to View as I have no toolbar. I also do not have a Customize button or a CNTL button on the online key board.

    There is no View toolbar on Safari on the iPad - there are icons for forward and back a page, bookmarks, and print/email/add bookmark. To open a new tab press the '+' to theright of the current tabs

  • Hi, I am using Firefox 5. Suddenly I lost my bookmarks toolbar even though I have selected it to be visible in the view option. But I can still view the bookmarks toolbar in my all-in one side bar

    Hi, I am using Firefox 5. Suddenly I lost my bookmarks toolbar even though I have selected it to be visible in the view option. But I can still view the bookmarks toolbar in my all-in one side bar

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • Firefox 4 -- just downloaded and menu & top bars are in some strange language - not english. I can't seem to get to a tools menu to change the language because I can't read the top menu.

    Just downloaded Firefox4 and can't read the top line menu because it's in some strange language with symbols instead of letters. How do I get it to display English in the top line menu?
    If I could read the menu, I'd go to tools and see if there were an option to change the menu language, but since I can't read the menu choices, I'd only be pushing meaningless buttons.
    [email protected]

    Thanks. I tried it and get the attached screen. I don't see anything which lets me change the language in the menu.
    Before I give up completely & just stick with Chrome or IE, I'll bring my laptop which has a correctly configured version of firefox 4 side by side with my desktop & use it as a template for clicking on the correct gibberish lines. I still don't see an option for changing menu bar language, but I'll search around a bit.
    It would help if I could get phone contact with someone at Mozilla, but they don't seem to list a phone number on their help page ----
