How can I remove the Guest account from the login screen?
I'm very new to the Mac world so pardon this noob question. But how can I control what user accounts are visible on the login screen on OS X? I've already went into the System Preference, User Accounts and set the Guest account to disabled. However this account is still on the logon screen when I reboot the Mac! How can I remove this account and/or make sure that my user account is the only one visible?
I'm not sure why this worked, but I found this in another post and it worked for me.
Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.
Turn on: Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked

Hello,
Try Mail>Preferences>Accounts icon>Account Information tab>Click on the Outgoing SMTP server drop down, choose edit Server list, highlight the old one & click Remove.

I downloaded and installed the most recent verison of Lion for my iMac. After doing so I noticed that my start up screen now has a "guest" account. I went into settings and disabled the "guest" account. Still, the startup sceen displays a "guest" account and allows one to start the computer in a "safari" only mode.
How do I removed the "guest" account from the start up screen and disable access via the "guest" account?Have a read here OS X 10.7.2 with iCloud showing Guest user account at log-in
To get rid of it, uncheck "Find my Mac" in System Peferences -> iCloud

Guys this is absolute rubbish feature of the login application where people's login names get recorded in the dropdown menu. Is there any more permanent way of getting rid of this annoying privacy intrusive "feature"? I would like to have a profile with a username that is not going to appear at airports and my grandma's laptop after I log out of skype and no I do not want to go digging for app files to remove my entire history on each and every machine I use as suggested by your help files. Could you please advise if I'm missing something here?

How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?
How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems: 1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize. 2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.
If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer. -
How can i remove my icloud account from my sons ipad?
can i remove my icloud account from my sons ipad? I just discovered he is getting all of my text messages on his ipad!
You can, but that isn't why he's getting your text messages. That's being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. Have him go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, have him do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Note: you can still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account even though you are using different IDs for iMessage and FaceTime. -
How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?
How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"

Does any one know how to remove the guest account from the start up screen
ihave had this problem for a while now and still can't make it go away i have be in system prefreces and accounts but i still can't make it out
To expand a bit on that answer, Find My Mac allows you to locate, lock or erase your MBP remotely if it gets lost or stolen. But that is only possible if the person who finds it is able to log in somehow and get on a network. Thus the guest account being turned on as long as Find My Mac is enabled in System Preferences -> iCloud. Note that the guest account does not make your computer any more insecure, but if it really bothers you, you'll have to turn off Find My Mac. And note that if your computer is stolen while that setting is off, there's nothing you can do about it other than call the police.

How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?
I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?
The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.

How can I remove a downloaded file from the desktop?
Hi,
I downloaded an install Internet Call Director exe file from my internet privider then was told that their system couldn't run on Mac OS 10. There are two files on my desktop that I can't remove. When I drag either one to the trash i get this message. "the item installICD.EXE is being used by another task right now.(Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the trash.)" There is nothing else running. I have tried renaming the file,Clearing the download manager, and anything else I could think of. The files will not open and will not delete even using CMD delete. I am not a computer person! How can I get rid of the files??
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)If you haven't already done so, change the filenames so that they have an extension of .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Overwrite both files with blank TextEdit documents and then throw away the TextEdit documents.
If the TextEdit method doesn't work, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
set file type of (selection as alias) to "1234"
end tell
Select the file in the Finder and run the script. Repeat this for the second file; when done, try throwing them away again.

I don't know the "lingo" of how-to's with Firefox; but I subscribed to www.catalogchoice.org. Somehow, the icon appears to the right of my print icon in the location bar and automatically pops-up when I go to any website. I can't find how to remove it from the toolbar and remove it from Firefox. I cancelled my subscription with them but continue to have this annoyance.
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
