HT4796 how to delete the user pc account on my mac?

i tried to transfer files from my pc to mac. now i want to delete the user pc account on my mac because it didn't transfer the files i needed.

Ensure it's logged out, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock the pane, select it, and press the - button.

Delete saved user name

I accidentally saved a user name containing a capital letter instead of a small letter. Now I can't log in. How can I correct or delete the user name?

Thanks! I can now enter the correct log in name without the incorrect name being auto filled. The incorrect name is still appearing as an optional log in name. Is there a way to delete the incorrect name so it doesn't appear when I try to log in?

I changed my apple id user name on my iphone, but when i want to sign to icloud on my ipod it gives me only the old id user name

i changed my apple id user name for icloud on my iphone, but when i want to sign in to icloud on my ipod it gives me only the old id user name, and of course its deleted and when i put the old password for my old id it doesnt accept it, so please help me in how my ipod get the info that i changed my apple id, and also when i try to sign off icloud it again gives me back the old apple id and ask me for a password to turn off my find my iphone, im really confused and i tried everything.....
My ipad was changed normally and easily but my ipod is stuck and of course is not listed on my devices on icloud....please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello oshalaby,
To get it to your new Apple ID, you would need to change it back to your old on so you can turn off Find My Device and turn it off. Once that is done, change it back to what you are currently using now. Take a look at the article below for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Regards,
-Norm G.

HT204053 I changed my internet service provider and no longer have the email that is the user name for my apple id. Is this just anecdotal, or is it going to cause me problems in the future? I no longer receive any of the mail sent to that address.

At first I thought I had to change the user name on my apple id, but I guess that is not possible. If I want my apple id to be linked to my current email address which is a gmail, I guess I am basically creating a new apple id, with all the complications that brings, right?
I have the same issue with my iCloud.
Should I do anything about this?

Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for.

How do I change the user name that appears next to the House icon on the Finder Window?

I'm giving my old iMac to my father-in-law and would like to change the user name from mine to his.
I've edited my Account info and changed it to his, but this does not seem to change the name in the finder window.

I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

How do I change the color of the users name after they sign in?

I am trying to change the color of the users name after they have signed in on the top right hand corner. When you hove over the login it shows up "Welcome (Users name) Log Out", The "welcome" and "log out" are in white and I know how to change them, but trying to find out how to change the name so it appears a different color is getting the better of me. Please help.

Hi blackroseuk7,
You can use firebug to inspect the element to see what div to target and from there you can set the color with CSS.
Hope this helps!

I changed the user name and screensaver does not let me enter

I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

Why do you want to delete those? What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus. On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

Issue: The user name changed when switch to other links in SCN

Hi,
I just wanted to bring to the notice of the moderators (as I don't know where can I report for the IT related issues) that for the past few days I am facing a peculiar behaviour when I log into the SCN through Internet Explorer 8.0. This is also being faced by my peers too..:)
The issue is that when I login to SCN, I can see my user name on the top of the page(Home page). But when I switch to say 'Forum', the user name is changed and this is random. I kind of have access to his/her account.
Even I try to log off, nothing happens.. The only solution left is to close the IE and then try to login again.
Kindly have a look into this issue.
Thanks in advance..:)
Regards
Amit

Ive (along with many others) noticed the same problem with the Forums about 2 years ago, where after log-in or clicking a certain thread I find myself in someone's else's id. And the id keeps changing from time to time with no end in sight.
The problem took about a couple of days to be rectified.
