How can i remove a name that comes up as the Home user next to the House symbol?

For some reason when the House symbol appears in any incidence on my Mac Pro lap top although it is only me that has ever used it it shows the name Sharon next to the house which isn't mine! I can only presume it has been imported across with other stuff from my old lap top which previously belonged to a Sharon! Does any one know how to change this please? Thanks

How can I remove my name from being associated with the GB file I export?

I am using Garage Band '11, 6.0.5.
I am editing an audio recording for a friend.
When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
I searched and found "My info" (in "Preferences") and deleted my information from ALL name, album, artist fields, but it still exported the file with my name as the artist (but it did not list it as from my album this time)?
Does anyone know how/where/what I need to do to remove all references of my name associated with this file I'm editing?
And also, can I change who is associated with a GB file, from file to file (i.e. if editing my audio, use my name & info, if editing for a friend or colleague, theirs? or is the name associated with my GB account universally embedded into every file, no matter if I want it to be mine or not)?
Thank you for your support!
Joe

When I exported the edited recording, it had my name associated with the file as the artist, album, etc.
The problem is, that this information is stored with the GarageBand project, when you first create the project. You have to edit the Preferences, before you create the project.
If the project already exists, you can change this option by turning the project into a podcast. Add a Podcast track (Track menu, Show Podcast Track), select the podcast track, and open the Info panel. Then edit the artist field in the Info panel, before you save the song to disk.
(added: I saw the workaround with the Podcast track first in a post by Edgar).

Mail, how can you remove an image that shows up in the header?

I have no idea how this image got where it is, but I would like to remove it. When I open Mail, I see in the address area of the email as it displays in the message viewer, to the very right of that area, there is an image, that I have no idea how it got there or how to remove. The following is a link (I think) Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png ...... that shows what I am talking about. I have gone through my signatures and made sure that image isn't in there and it isn't. Please help, it is driving my husband nuts, we would love to change the image to his company logo if possible, but we don't know if that image even shows up when others receive email from us or not (we email ourselves and it is right there in the address header of the email). Thank you for your time and help.

Typically what shows up there is the address book picture for that contact. If they attach an image it will be added to the address book.
So go to the contact in address book and change or delete the image.

You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

I bought a used iphone. I installed ios 7 before I realized that the previous owner's email and password are still in the phone. How can I remove them so that I can use the icloud and "find my phone" feature?

Thanks so much! It will be kinda weird to contact the person directly, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anything that I can refer her to in this discussion to let her know I am legit, and not a creeper? Also, I don't know if you can answer this or not. When I plug my phone into itunes, and it says that it is backing up, does that mean that it is going into the other person's cloud, since I cannot access it?

Another option if you have access to a second Mac with a drive is to connect the two together with the iMac in Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and installing from the Mac with the optical drive.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over. Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy. Thanks.

Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

How can I remove an app that someone else downloaded on my device with their Apple ID

Re: How can I remove an App on my MacBook Air that I don't want?in response to Jax | This helped me
Drag the app icon out of the Apps folder and drop it in the Trash. If you want to make sure that you got all associated files use a deletion app such as AppCleaner.
Hi Dah.veed
I read your advice to uninstall an app.using AppCleaner.This seems confusing.When I check the file location to see the total package contents,the file shows considerable more MB's than when I use AppCleaner and not near as much.Using AppCleaner would mean I would be leaving a considerable amount of residual garbage.Why is the AppCleaner not cleaning everything out.If i was to delete from the file location and send it to trash,would I be deleting support files.
Thanks for your help.

How can I remove email addresses that are saved in itouch automatically

It seems that every time I send or receive an email, the recipient email address is saved. how do I remove these email addresses. I do not want to keep some of these addresses. I have also found that if I had typed in the email address wrong, this is saved as well and I have no way to correct the wrong address. Your help is appreciated.

Unsync and resync all of your movies from your iPod. You can do this by removing the tick mark next to Sync Movies from under the iPod's Movies configuration tab in iTunes assuming you have your iPod set up for automatic syncing.
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. Over to the right locate the Movies tab along the top. Here you will find the options for how and what movies to sync. Hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device when you remove the retick the option to Sync Movies.

How can I remove an application that is under another apple id?

Apple Support Community,
I purchased a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, Mid 2012, running OS X 10.9 (13A603) used on Amazon. I neglected to reset the computer upon recieving so now I am stuck with somewhat of a quagmire. I don't want to reset the computer now since I have installed most of the programs I will need for my day to day functions not to mention all my media that I was able to convert from my old PC. There is an issue I am having with the App Store trying to update "Angry Birds" but it will not continue with the update because I am entering the wrong User ID for the download. Is there anyway I can just delete this application from the update area? I noticed that when I went to download Mavericks there were updates available for applications that were already installed on the Macbook so I simply deleted the previous versions on the Macbook and downloaded the recent updates under my Apple ID. I would do this for the Angry Birds application but this would require me to purchase it when I do not want this game on my computer... Does anyone have any advice to solve my situation?
V/R,

The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

How can I remove theAirPlay instructions that take up my tv screen while my music is playing and running my screen saver?

Apple support community,
Yo Jim Taylor here. Would like to remove the Airplay screen instructions while Airplay plays music and my screen savers running?

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.
