Change defaults on guest account

Hi. I've been searching for this answer for a couple of hours now. And the only tricks i've found was to old i think. (from 2008-2011)
I want to change the default settings on my guest account. The dock, startpage on safari, background and so on.
I have tried this trick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU-W2-_c5bA), but it does'nt work for me.
Can someone help me?

If you mean you want to change the name of your iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID, then tap Edit next to the ID name and enter the name you wish to use (must be in the form of an email address).  After changing the name, youi will then need to go to Settings>iCloud on your iOS device(s), delete the existing account, then sign back in with the renamed account.  (On a computer, go to System Preferences>iCloud on Mac or the iCloud control panel for Windows on a PC, sign out, then sign back in with the renamed ID.)
Or did you mean you wanted to change the name of your iCloud email account?

  • Stop using the deposit function - change default G/L account

    We originally configured our system to use a separate clearing account and the deposit function for cash, credit card, and check incoming payment types.  Now, we would like to change that and post payments directly into our cash account without having to go through the deposit function.   I have two questions regarding this.  1.) Would this cause problems in the future, and 2.) when I go to set the cash account as the default account in the G/L Account Determination window for Checks Received, it will not let me choose or directly type the cash account.  It will allow me to choose any account starting with our clearing account numbering. What would be the reason or resolution to this?

    Hi!
    If you select a different acc (cash acc) in Check tab, i belive it will affect the Cash flow report.

  • Change default outgoing mail account according to recepient

    Is is possible to have the default mail account (I have three: University, personal, and @me.com) change automatically according to the primary email in the "To:" field?

    Well, no.  But it will change automatically according to any email you're replying to, based on what mailbox the original was sent from.

  • Can dock items in Guest Account be changed "permanently"?

    Is there a way for an administrator to add/delete items to/from the dock in the Guest Account and have those changes become the default? So far everything I change goes disappears with each logout of the Guest Account. I know that this is supposed to happen with the Guest. Thanks!

    Okay, I used the information above and was able to make permanent changes to the dock on the user account. I learned the following lesson:
    In order to do that you must be logged in as the Guest. The WM software, at least with my limited knowledge of how these things work, does not make permanent changes to the Guest account "remotely" via the administrator account. So it worked for me, and thanks for all the information.
    I have another question though: My goal is to allow a Guest to go on the Internet. So I am making Safari available to Guest. I would like to make FireFox available also. But here is the problem:
    Each time the two browsers start from scratch because all the cutomized files get deleted when the Guest logs out. This is specially more annoying with Firefox since its barebone lunch requires more steps before it actually begins working.
    I want Safari or Firefox to open up in a Google page, and ready to go. What do I need to do to get the settings file get saved?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Changing the Guest Account Picture

    Someone using a guest account was playing with Photobooth and changed the Account Picture for the Guest Account in Leopard. I don't know how to change it back to the default picture, any ideas?

    I'm still not caught up with the "DirectoryServices" form of user records that are now the default in "Leopard", but there are two properties that might be related to the user picture in the "login window". One is 'Picture' and the other is 'JPEGPhoto', of which the latter isn't present in every user record so I would suspect that one.
    While logged in to an "admin" account, try launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering this command:<pre>
    sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -delete /users/Guest JPEGPhoto</pre>
    Be careful entering the command since a space in the wrong place could delete the entire "Guest" account, or even wipe out all user records. Enter the "admin" user's password at the prompt (for security reasons, the keystrokes won't appear in the window - just press the "return" key when done).

  • HT1203 1 computer w/ a guest account & my account.  Want to be able to allow the guest access to video/music but not to be able to change my library what is the best way to do this?

    I have a PC I use at my vacation house.  Need to know if there is a way to allow the guest account to have access to my iTunes library so that they can listen to music and/or watch movies either on the PC or streaming to my AppleTV.  I just don't want them to be able to delete or change what I have set up.  Is this doable? 

    I'm not 100% sure on how this works on a PC, but I would be surprised if it was different from OS X.
    There is a possibility in iTunes, by having two user sessions active :
    Login to one of the "regular accounts" (one that has full access to the iTunes library"). In iTunes, allow it to share all/some of its library.
    Now, keep iTunes running, and just login to the guest account. (=> the existing session is not closed !)
    In iTunes, you will find under shared music the iTunes (server) running on the other account, and it will stream whatever you have allowed to share from the account above.
    People using this guest account will have "read-only" access to whatever you wished to be shared, and cannot change any (meta)data.
    (only minus : need to keep one session running in the background)

  • Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

    I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
    I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'.  However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
    But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:-  I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail).  I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email.  My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good.  I select an email address for the To box.  My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address.  So this is the bug.  It should not be doing this.  This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread.  Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?

  • Changing the guest account icon?

    Hi, I let some friends of mine use my computer, so I let them go on the guest account. They decided to do a prank and made the account icon for the guest something quite unpleasant. I don't want to remove the guest account, but at the same time I really don't want that icon to be there. I have no idea what they did and System Preferences/Accounts lets me change my (administrator) account's icon, but the guest icon is just an unmodifiable silhouette.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    See if this thread helps:

  • Changed file viewing settings for Guest account, now iMac won't boot :(

    I'll start this off by mentioning that I'm not really a techie type person, but I'll do my best to describe what I did as accurately as possible. And I'm pretty good at following layman's terms troubleshooint advice!
    I recently decided to move my iMac into the living room of my apartment. I have never found the need to create a Guest account, but I figured it might be convenient for..well, a guest every now and then. But when I created the guest account I discovered very quickly that they would have access to all of my photos, documents, movies, etc. via the "view all documents" "view all photos" tabs on the left-hand side of the Finder window. I googled what to do and people were saying that it is best to change the viewing options of particular folders via the "get info" tab when you right-click on a folder. There were three categories, the first one I believe was Admin or the main user, the second is "wheel" and the third says "Everyone". I changed the "Everyone" access on the folders I wanted private from read-writable to "none". I left the "wheel" and "admin" categories alone. I also did this to the utilities folder, and the library under the assumption it would only affect guest access to these files, not admin access!
    Also, under the Account Preferences tab in the Apple menu I disabled the viewing of shared folders for the guest. I also disabled automatic login.
    Next thing I know, while I'm under the guest login trying to test out my security updates, I see I can't click on anything! Or open anything! I can't open the finder at all, I can't open the internet, I can't even get to the Apple drop-down menu. I couldn't even log out of guest. I had to turn off my computer without shutting it down. I turned it back on, and it went through the motions of booting up until the blue screen with the grey dashed loading circle (no beach ball, thank god). It acts like it will proceed beyond that point, the grey circle disappears for a moment, but then nothing happens and that process starts over. Like it's stuck and can't find it's own files. I also notice a tiny white square in the upper left-hand corner of the blue screen if that means anything.
    I don't know what the heck I did. I think I somehow managed to block my own admin access (is that even possible??).

    You need to get the install discs, erase the hard drive, and reinstall all the software from scratch. When acquiring a used Mac there's no way to know what condition its software is in... there might be hacks, security holes, pirated software, keyloggers, credit card sniffers, or other even riskier stuff on it. Using a pre-owned Mac's software as-is is a Very High Security Risk. Your Mac's software is obviously distressed. What's more, you are not licensed to use any Apple software unless you own and are in possession of the install discs.
    Get the discs and reinstall. Apple will send you new ones that match your model for a small shipping fee. Call them and provide your Mac's serial number.

  • Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • How to change the picture for guest account that was created by "find my mac"? Is it possible to change the photo?

    I want to change the picture to my guest account that was created by "find my mac." I tried using the workspace type program but it did not recognize my guest account.  I am not sure what to do and need some help. Thanks!

    I don't think there is a straight-forward way to do this. However, if the guest account is bothering you, you can disable it from within the System Preferences.

  • Why does Mail open in guest account but not my account since upgrade to Mavericks?

    I've read a lot of threads but not found anything that works for me. The history is this:
    I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since then, Mail won't open in my own user account. I only get a very brief error message:
    Process:   
    Mail [1448]
    Path:       
    /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
    Identifier: 
    com.apple.mail
    Version:   
    7.2 (1874)
    Build Info: 
    Mail-1874000000000000~1
    Code Type: 
    X86-64 (Native)
    Parent Process:  launchd [157]
    Responsible:
    Mail [1448]
    User ID:   
    I have gone to user/Library/Mail and deleted the contents of the folder Mailboxes + all the other mailboxes. No change - Mail still won't open.
    If I switch user accounts to guest user, Mail opens normally (sets up email accounts etc).
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Rebooted in safe mode, repaired disc permissions, rebooted (again in safe mode) but no difference.
    There was a bit more detail I could / should have added.
    1) Before it crashes, Mail says it is Upgrading your Mail database.
    2) I downloaded Mail update but Installer said none of the drives were compatible. (Anyway Mail works fine in Guest Account)
    3) I've been through all the tips on this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490745#23490745http://
    and
    looked at Internet accounts in Preferences and none of my email accounts is checked with Mail. It asks for a password for each one but when I provide it I get the message Unable to verify account name or password. And if I try and uncheck iCloud with Mail I get the message that I need to do that from within Mail. (Obviously not possible until I can open Mail).
    In Terminal tried defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList but got the message that it hadn't been done.
    Tried to find Envelope.x.x files as per this fix:     Final solution: Go into ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes > Delete all mailboxes. Then go to ~Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete 3 or more "Envelope.x.x" files > Restart Mail, and enjoy your success.     but don't have a V2 folder nor Envelope.x.x files. I do have Envelope Index file and Envelope Index - journal
    I don't suspect 3rd party applications because I think they are all available in the Guest Account aren't they?
    Many thanks for your reply though. Any more ideas?
