Change Finder Places User name

Hello all
When I click on Finder on the Dock, it always opens to Places into my short name folder.
Is there a way to change the folder to open to another location?

Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

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.

Change my forum user name

Is it possible to change my forum user name?

It's not a big deal and I don't want to make it so. It's just that it would be nice if there were something in place to deal with situations like mine. I have a MobileMe account now that I have a Mac. There is no way to associate my MobileMe .ME email address with my current profile, and I would like to reconcile that email with my user ID. So, the logic goes, if I could change the user ID associated with my non-MobileMe email, then that would free up my current (and preferred) user ID to be usable with my MobileMe email address.
Like I say, I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it, but it would be nice if Apple would make some provision to link a MobileMe email with an existing user ID instead of throwing up a brick wall between the two, thus forcing a new MobileMe user (and presumably a new Mac users) from having to choose between continuing to use their established (and presumably preferred) user ID and having to create a new user ID in the forums simply to be able to use their new MobileMe email address.
That's all I'm trying to do.

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
I would suggest restoring as new.

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

How can I change my login user name to my current new email

I need to change mu iCloud user name from my old email to me new one but it won't let me because it is the same as my rescue email address. How do I get around this if it is the only email address I have?

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

I change my AppleID user name but iCloud still has the old AppleID, how do I correct this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

Changed my short user name, now getting endless "allow" requests

I have changed my short user name a while back and noticed a few expected issues, fixed some permissions, had added a group containing my old username and the new one, all is fine.
I noticed in the last couple of days ago after changing some sharing settings, that now I'm getting a flood of keychain requests. I have repaired the key chain, sync'd with me.com and still get requests, here and there. How can I get them all resolved?
My keychain is unlocking properly when I login. I have seen some flakiness, but on the whole, just annoying few remaining requests coming. Ideas?

I think you misunderstood. The operation of changing my short user name went fine. I used that note you refer to on apple support, but also found this article, which seems to cover all levels of the process, giving you an understanding of what the issues of each approach are: http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshort The author indicates that Apple has worked tirelessly on the issue of changing the short user name and this came off without a hitch.
What I'm experiencing is that I have a keychain access issue which I experience only on one of my snow leopard systems. It will likely go away if I completely replace my mobile me sync on that machine. I'll try that and see.

Cannot find OSB user name

A former colleague set up OSB on a server several months ago. Now I am trying to sign in the "file system backup and restore" area, and need the user name and password that was created. This must be a different user name than OSB Admin -- and of course it's not in our documentation for this server.
Is there a query or config file that might hold the user name? If not, what recourse do I have? Destroying OSB and rebuilding? It was a pain to get working in the first place. (OSB Express / Win2003 / internal DAT72 )
Thanks ...

Exception: Cannot find bean under name ...
Probable Cause: This is usually seen in association with a problematic Struts HTML SELECT custom tag. The Struts html:select tag behaves differently depending whether one or both of the name and property attributes is specified for its encompassed <html:options> tags. If the name attribute is specified, whether or not if the property attribute is specified, then a bean matching the specified name will be expected in some scope (such as page, request, session, or application). If the matching bean is not found in any available scope, the error above will be seen.
There are two ways to address this. The first approach is to put a bean in one of the scopes so that the html:options might be associated with it. The second approach is to not specify the name attribute and instead use only the property attribute.
Change your Frombean scope from "Request" to "Session", then it works.
Thanks,

How to change newly registered user name, without changing entire apple id, in iCloud?

Recently created new user name. Need to change it. I do not want to change my entire apple id account information. The only information I can find in communities, has to do with the previous Mobile Me stuff and not the new iCloud stuff. Again, I don't want to change my long standing account id with Apple. There must be some sane way to do this! I've been searching now, for over 2 hours. Help!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I change the admin user name?

After a recent crash on my Macbook, the local repair store reinstalled Leopard on it for me, and did all the preliminary setup. Unfortunately, they misspelled my name, and so my "Home" folder in Finder has my name misspelled on it. I can't rename it directly (It says it can't be modified because Mac OS depends on it).
Is there some other indirect way to correct the spelling (like through terminal or similar) , or is my only option creating another user name and moving all my files to it?
Thanks in advance,
Peavy
