How can I change my ID (is shown on the Place in Finder) on my macbook?

I just got a new macbook pro. when I set it up, my apple user ID was set itself on it. any solution for this without format?

Are you referring to your admin account's username? If so see:
OS X- How to change user short name or home directory name;
Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard;
Or create a new user account with admin status and the username you prefer. Then log into the new account, use Accounts preferences to configure it for auto-login, then delete the old account. Restart.

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?

    QuestionHow can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?
    AnswerThere are a couple of different ways to change your profile photo or thumbnail image on Tagged.
    Here's a quick How-to video that shows you how to change your profile photo
    If you wish to change your profile photo, follow the instructions listed below:
    Hover your mouse over 'More' in the top Nav bar and select Photos.
    To use one of your previously uploaded photos as your profile photo, place the cursor over the photo you wish to use, and click the small green “#1” box when it appears
    If you wish to use a new image as your profile photo, upload the image to your photo gallery, and then click the small green “#1” box on the photo
    If you are viewing one of your photos individually, you can also set it as your profile photo by hovering over it and clicking the same green "#1" button.  You may also edit the caption and comment on your photo in this view
    You can also change your profile photo by doing the following:
    On the Navigation bar click Profile and select the Edit Profile link to the left of your Profile picture.
    To upload a photo locally from your computer, click the “Browse” button, select the image you wish you use, and then click “Upload”.
    To upload a photo using an image URL address, click the “Add from image URL” link, paste the URL address into the field, and click “Add Photo”.
    To use a photo from your gallery, click the “Use one of my photos” link to open a thumbnail gallery of your uploaded images.  Click on a thumbnail to set that image as your profile photo.
    After selecting a photo, you can alter its thumbnail by the marquee box by dragging the “anchor” points of the box.  When you are finished, click "Save Thumbnail"

    HELP! I was fooling around with my profile pic and selected and saved a cropped thumbnail. I hate it, and I haven't been able to figure out how to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my full profile pic. I've even re-up-loaded a copy of the original photo, with a different file name, but Tagged automatically crops it to the same thumbnail.  Is there any way to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my whole pic?  Thanks for your help :~)  

  • How can I change Siri's time to match the system time?

    I'm trying to set an appointment with Siri for 10:00am tomorrow. She completes the task telling me "here is your appointment for 10:00am tomorrow", but the phone is showing that it is setting it for 2:00am. The time difference is exactly 8 hours. How can I change this so that they match?

    Doesn't work for me. Tried all time zone settings (both in Date/Time and Calendar) to turn on and off, to set timezone 1 hour less - no result. Everytime I have appointment set 1 hour later than Siri recognizes.
    I live in Moscow, Russia, and maybe the problem is that starting this year Russia doesn't switch to winter or summer time.
    Any advice?

  • How can I change between JSP and Java in the page language attribute

    Does any one know the answer to this? I am trying to Switch between the 2 in the middle of the page. I want to include a file that uses <%@ page language = "JAVA" %> but the main mage uses Java Script. How can I switch it for this one file. I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks for your time, and please help me. Also can some one post a good link for Session Tracking. I can't find much good information on that. Thanks again.

    Wow this didn't make sense in so many ways. It's truly bordering on nonsense. I think it's written in English.
    <%@ page language="Java" %>This is optional. JSPs don't use any language other than Java. This is known as a JSP Directive. This line will be processed by the JSP/Servlet engine, and you won't see it in your output. If JSP ever supported a language other than Java, this would be where you would change it.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    // -->
    </script>You can include a block like this in your JSP file. The JSP/Servlet engine will not process this script block at all (unless you include JSP <% %> tags somewhere in there, in which case they will be processed before the response is sent back to the web browser). This script block is where JavaScript goes. This code will be executed on the client's browser.
    This is about as clear as I can make things given how muddled your question is. Please ensure you understand the basic differences between JSP, Java, JavaScript, HTML, Servlet engine, web browser before proceeding. Understand what code executes where, and in what order.

  • How can we change value of a field in the Repeating Table using SharePoint Workflow 2013.

    Hi
    I have an InfoPath form published on a SharePoint Library. The form contains a Repeating table and after submit a workflow runs. In this workflow I want to change some values of the fields within Repeating table.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I found a similar thread posted by you here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e1fa36c1-cb5c-456d-ba40-2f26301913d2/how-to-loop-through-each-row-in-a-repeating-table-using-sharepoint-workflows?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    I suppose both the threads are reuqesting the method to get values from repeating table via workflow, so we can focus on the issue on the other case. If there is more requestment here, let me know.

  • We have 10 ipads connected to 1 computer and 1 account. How can I change/erase an account so that the seperate offices can use itunes and synchonise itselve?

    Hi there!
    Our department (marketing) wanted to control the input of the iPads. We found out it was useless because our salesteam wanted to personalize the ipad (think about projectspecific items etc.) It is impossible for 1 person to control 10 iPads and deliver input for each different iPad. So we decided that each office can have its own account. But these ipads are already connected to 1 computer (i know you can connect them to a max. of 5 computers, but that is not enough in this case..) They can make there own account with their personal creditcard or that of the office. How can i disconnect the iPads en still remain the files on the iPads?
    With kind regards,
    Willeke

    Whatt ype of "files" are you concerned about?  Are they purchases from the AppStore or music, video etc, or something else? If you are concerned about Apps, one method of centrally distributing apps is to purchase apps with a corporate credit card, and then "gift" them to the various employees.  The "gifted" app is sent to the email address you specify and can actually be forwarded, prior to install to another user for their use...

  • How can I play itunes music through one of the usb ports on my new MacBook Air?

    Greetings Everyone.
      I just purchased my first Mac product I want to be able to play music from the itunes app from one of my usb ports to the usb port on the front panel of my Yamaha CD changer. I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it. When I go to System Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound the only item listed for Output is "Internal Speakers".
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • How can I change my primary email address to the one that I use for my rescue email address?

    I no longer use the email address associated with my apple ID account and the rescue email address I used is now my primary email address for everything, since it its not allowing me to just simply change my email address since its my rescue email address i want it changing to, can it be done and how?! :S Thank you!

    You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
    Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.

  • How can I change my iCloud email address when the account that is attached to my iCloud right now does not exist. I tried to delete the account attached to my iCloud on my iPhone but it requires a password. The password I type in does not work because I h

    help please

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.
