Guest Account / Do I need to log off before someone can use this?

First of all, I'm not a technical expert . . .
I've enabled a Guest Account as per the Help instructions. Should that now appear in the Finder window, or somewhere else? Or do I need to log off as the main user before it will appear? If so, how do I log back on later? I'm usually the only user, so don't have to deal with logging in, etc.
Thanks!

Log out and it will appear as if your Mac is shutting down, a Log In widow will then open listing the accounts, yours and guest.
Just select which account you want to use, if you have set any password you will need to enter it.

  • I have an error message reading "Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it". ?

    I can only use the phone for maybe 4 minutes before this message appears with a yellow warning triangle. (Iphone 4S)
    "Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it"
    The phone is not warm and after a couple of minutes it is useable again only to repeat the same message a few minutes later.
    I've done a restore which made no difference.
    Anyone have any ideas/similar problem?
    Cheers

  • I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I couldn't tell you what you purchased, and it might even be difficult for an Adobe employee to do so.  The business could have a few options as far as what they might have purchased.
    Your best bet, considering what little you paid, will be to hand it over to someone you might sell it to and let them try it out.  If it works, then it works.

  • Problem is need to log off computer to go from one web site to another with message that program still running. Logging off to go from email to something else is very time consuming and annoying.

    Troublesome need to log off between switching from Yahoo to another website with message that program is still running.

    Terminate Firefox from the "Processes" tab of the Windows Task Manager not the "Applications" tab. Then select firefox.exc and use the right-click context menu to "End Process" or use the "End Process" button on the selected process.
    Windows 7 keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" will go directly to the Windows Task Manager and reopen the last tab that you had open.

    <br><small>Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.</small>
    I don't see why you feel you have to exit Firefox to get out of one website to immediately use another website. Very impractical. Does this have anything to do with desktop icons or not using tabs?
    Completely unrelated to your question or your reason. Your flash plug-in is out of date.
    Check for Flash updates to see if you really are current

    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and check that it finished via the Windows Task Manager -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
    #proceed with the install

    My friend loggen in with his instagram account on my phone then logged off, now i see his instagram notifications on my lock screen , what can i do about this problem ?(

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

  • Do I need to log off the internet?

    Just got my iphone yesterday. Very little instruction given by ATT. I can get on the internet but cannot find how to log off the internet. Is this a worry or a non-problem. Does it automatically disconnect when the screen goes blank? Thanks, JR

    The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as wi-fi access is on and there is an available wi-fi network you have access to, or cellular reception. The iPhone switches between the two automatically and seamlessly. There isn't a log-off the internet option, which isn't a worry or a problem.
    You can turn wi-fi access of, but when you have cellular reception, your iPhone is connected to the internet via AT&T's cellular network. With firmware update 4.0, there will be an option to turn internet access off via AT&T's cellular network. This along with turning wi-fi access off and/or with wi-fi access on but not connected to an available wi-fi network will in effect log your iPhone off the internet since your iPhone won't have an internet connection.

  • Please Help... i lost my macbook and there are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything)

    There are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything like it cant be used at all again)

    It should be unnecessary to point out that leaving one's computer logged into anything that requires security is foolhardy. The reason there's a login process is so you will have the opportunity to log out and thereby secure your account. Failing to do so completely defeats the purpose and leaves you wide open to catastrophic consequences.

  • HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

  • TS3147 Printers Pausing: Other Users Log-off before job done permanently pauses printers

    I have a problem with printers pausing. I work for a University, and this concerns computer lab Macs. Whenever someone Prints to a printer, and logs off before the print job is completely though, the printer pauses permanently for all other users.
    I have found 2 temporary fixes:
         1) have initial user log back in, and allow job to complete (Hard to do, since there are 4000+ students here)
         2) Delete printer and re-add them (I unpause close to 1-3 printers a day this way currently)
    Since those fixes require multiple trips, and or trying to reach people, they are not great solutions
    How can I fix this problem so it won't happen again?
    Theories of how to fix I don't know how to impliment (I normally am a PC guy):
         1) Clear print que on log-off Script
         2) Delay Log-off Script (Allow print job to go though)
         3) Checkbox somewhere to override the printers pausing?
    Happens on both our iMacs, and Mac Minis we use on campus.

    4on6 wrote:There are some related threads in this forum, but I still can't figure out what is my problem (printer works in some situations - printing a pdf in evince or a webpage in chromium - but in others not, e.g. printing from emacs).
    The distinction that comes to mind here is that emacs (and some others) will print via lp.  I suspect that the default printer for lp is not set, and therefore the print job is lost.
    To test this, create ~/.cups/lpoptions (if you don't already have it) with the content:
    Default <The_Name_Of_My_Printer_In_CUPS>
    And see if that helps.

  • Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.
