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).

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.

Guest account pictures

How do I assign a picture for my guest account?

In 10.5, it's possible to use Workgroup Manager (part of the Leopard Server Admin Tools download) to change the guest account icon.
I don't know if this still works in 10.6, but you could download the 10.6 server admin tools and give it a shot.

Is there any way to add a password to the guest account?

We use a computer reservation system for public computers in my library. I would love to have the functionality of the guest account so the account is wiped after every log out.
The problem with our reservation system is, it requires an account with a password for the system to work properly. So for the past year, I have been running a standard user account with 3rd party software to lock out the ability to permently change anything on the system. The problem with this is, it retains any changes users make until the system is restarted, not logged out. So by the end of a 12 hour day the machine can be pretty screwed up if it hasn't been restarted at some point.
The Guest Account is exactly what I want, but if I can't find a way to add a password to it there is no way for my reservation system to use it.

You could write a shell script to do that and run it on logout via a logout hook:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSyste mStartup/Chapters/CustomLogin.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000172i-SW10-BAJCGEGG
I can't be of much help writing such a script. Apple also cautions against such scripts since due to the fact that they run as root they're a security risk. Apple recommends using launchd, something which I have no experience with, but I found a presentation on the basics here that might help:
http://www.macos.utah.edu/documentation/operating_systems/launchd.html
I don't know of any other way to remove user documents and settings automatically on logout.

Why is the guest account set up so strangely?

I mean, I give a guest in my house the guest account, and it starts up with address book, time machine, garageband etc all in the toolbar. I mean, why?

Actually, you can change this with a little bit of low-level tinkering, if you feel comfortable doing so. This is adapted from a hint at macosxhints.com to work on 10.6. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully since you're changing the system's defaults.
1. Make sure the guest account is enabled in System Preferences.
2. Download and install the latest <a href-"http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1071">Server Admin Tools (link goes to 10.6.4 version). Even though you're not running OS X Server, these tools will give you a nice interface to edit the account settings for the guest account.
3. In the Applications/Server folder, launch Workgroup Manager. At the login prompt, enter "127.0.0.1" for the server address, and your OS X admin name and password.
4. In Workgroup Manager, in the View menu, click Show System Records. Now in the main window, if you click Accounts, you should see a long list of "reserved" system accounts. Scroll down and click on "Guest account" to highlight it. Click "Preferences" in the top tab.
5. You'll see a warning that this is a local change only. Click OK.
6. On the right, click Dock, then, next to Manage, click Always. The list of applications underneath will activate, allowing you to select, delete, or add any apps you want to appear in the guest dock. Once you've finished, untick "Merge with user's dock" and click Apply Now.
7. You can now quit Workgroup Manager. Guest login will now have the dock you've customised, and any new standard/admin accounts will retain the normal default dock.
I haven't yet found a way to change the default desktop image for Guest, but I'm sure there's a way...
Good luck!

Can I change the guest type for existing guest.

can I change the guest type for existing guest. ISE version 1.3

You can not change the guest type for existing guest account. You need to delete it and create with correct type

Deleting the guest account

i have a mac book pro and im having issues with my guest "user" profile. i understand that its perameters are set in stone, as in you can't change it to an admin profile, and it will delete everything when you logout. my next issue is that the guest profile appears to be in french, is there a way to change this?

What is your selected language? I've not actually tried it but I'd guess that the name of the guest account will be determined by the language chosen when it is turned on.

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

How to change the Reconciliation Account of a Customer.

Hi Everybody,
I went through few posts from users regarding the change of Reconciliation Account in Customer Master, but nowhere the complete process of change of Reconciliation Account is explained. Can anyone throw some light on this and tell the complete procedure of changing the Reconciliation Account in the customer Master.
Thanks.

Dear Himanshu,
There is no specific process of changing the reconciliation account in customer master because it is not recommended and when you change the reconciliation account in the customer master then system will stop you at all. If you want to change then please follow steps mentioned below.
1. Clear all the open of the customer whose reconciliation account you want to change. If open item exists and you change then this balance will lie forever in the trial balance which Accounting Standard will not allow.
2. Once the customer balance does not exist then you can change reconciliation account.
Another way to do is
1. You create a copy of the customer you want to change the reconciliation account, put the new reconciliation account in the copied customer.
2. Then you transfer all posting to the new customer so customer with old reconciliation account will be nil.
If your profit center functionality is active and document splitting is not active with profit center characteristics then please avoid the second alternative

Change the Reconciliation account

Dear Friends,
Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer/Vendor master records? If we can, so what about the old reconciliation account data or balance? How do we capture data from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
Explain in details......
I appreciate your help.....

Hi Teja,
You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
If the Balance is not zero, then also you can change the reconciliation Account. In such a case you need to maintain a Clearing Account in Configuration and then execute the Transaction F101 with the check box "Change Rec Account" under the Parameters TAB in the transaction F110.
This transaction will move the balance to the new reconciliation account,

Changing the "Reconciliation Account" in the master data of a Customer

Hi All,
I've to change the "Reconciliation Account" in the master data of a Customer. But this fiel has been made not modifiable.
Could anyone tell how change this?
Thanks,
Gandalf

Hi,
In SPRO, change the field status for the customer account group to optional. Then you can change the reconciliation account of the customer.
The Path -
SPRO>>Financial Accounting (New)>>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>>Customer Accounts>>Master Data>> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data>>Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers). Here select the account group for the customer and double click on the line. In this screen, double click on Company code data. Then change the field status in Account management for Reconciliation account.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,
Anit

Changing the recon account

hi,
i have an issue like to change the recon account in goods receipt transaction. right now the vendor is having (x for domestic )recon account and now he is purchasing the capital goods from the same vendor and in the system there is another recon account (Y for capital goods)
so right now we want the goods receipt transaction to capital goods recon account
please let me know the procedure

Dear Alapati Srinivas,
You need to customize "Posting with alternative reconciliation account".
The SPRO path is: Financial Accounting-> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-> Business Transactions-> Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account-> Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts (or T-Code S_ALR_87002480).
In there you have to define account Y as alternative reconciliation account for X.
Also in both X and Y master records you need to flag "Recon. acct ready for input" check- box in the "Create/bank/interest" tab.
After that when you try to post incoming invoice the system will allow you to choose between X and Y as reconciliation account.
Regards,
Milen.

Changing the Reconciliation Account to Regular (Non Reconciliation) GL

Hi there,
We are on SAP ECC6.0.
We need to change the Master Record of a Reconciliation Account by making it a Regular (that is NON Reconciliation) Account.
The system is allowing us in doing this in certain cases and in some we are given the Error as:
Modifications to reconciliation account not permitted
Error Message # FH110
We have already zero out the balance outstanding in all Vendors linked to this GL Account.
Thanks
Bob

Hello,
It is not the question of making the balance to zero. Though you might have brought the balance to ZERO, but still they are showing as open items only in your system. Until and unless they are cleared, you cannot change.
After posting number of entries in the system, now try to change the reconciliation account to non-reconciliation account will have its own disadvantages and may affect adversely on your reporting. It suggested not to make any further changes. Make a new reconciliation and assigned the same to new customers or vendors or change the reconciliation account in the customer or vendor masters.
Try to run F.5D
Please recheck your configuration in OBBW.
Regards,
Ravi
