How change standard account to managed account?

I am the administrator. There is one managed account, my daughter's (age 5). While playing around, I set up a new account that is Standard. My daughter begs for that account because of the picture. How do I delete it? OR, how do I make it a managed account? I've gone into Preferences and unlocked the lock, but I can't click on the Standard account to reconfigure it.
Also, how do I hide the Macintosh HD icon on the Mangaged account desktop? My 5 year old just loves clicking around with the mouse and playing with all the keys which gets us both into trouble. Also, is there any way to disable Help so she doesn't end up online? Sometimes I like to let her type and play with fonts and colors in Word for fun, but she's exploring more and more and I can't figure out how to gate her in better. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Alison

Hi Alison!
"My daughter begs for that account because of the picture."
To which picture are you referring?
Is there some way that you can configure your daughter's account, with the same picture?
"How do I delete it?"
Info here Deleting a user account.
"...how do I make it a managed account?"
Info here Restricting what users can do with the computer.
"...I can't click on the Standard account to reconfigure it."
Are you logged in as an Admin?
...how do I hide the Macintosh HD icon..."
Finder Preferences > General: Under Show these items on the Desktop: uncheck Hard disks.
"...is there any way to disable Help so she doesn't end up online?"
I don't know of any way to disable Help, but if her account is restricted from accessing the Internet, I'm not sure if the online Help links, will even open.

Changing desktop picture for managed account

I would like to change the desktop picture in my daughter's managed account.
I am using 10.5
In a standard account, one opens the system preferences and goes to the 'desktop and screen saver' and in the 'desktop' part the picture can be set.
However, for a managed account, there is no system preferences available. Even in the full finder is run there is no access to any of the system preferences.
I have tried logging in to the administrator account and setting the picture from there but there does not seem to be any option to do this.
Help please.
Andrew

Hi,
You don't see the System Preferences in a managed account because "System Preferences" is an application and by default it is not included in the managed account.
To allow System Preferences in a managed account, select the account in System Preferences (when you are in an administrator account), click the "Parental Control" button, under "System" tab, choose "System Preferences" where it allows you choose applications.

Service Account and managed account in sharepoint

I am new to SharePoint and want to understand few concepts of it:
- What is Service Account

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Basically service accounts are used for running services like sql server, services and managed accounts are synonyms

Mountain Lion Guest Account and Managed Account

I'm trying to setup a Managed Accout that has the ability to delete files on logoff. Just the same as a Guest account. Is this possible. Reason behind this is that, with the guest account. I currently have Office installed and everytime I launch the WORD. It gives me a pop up box that says Word would like to access contacts. Then it would ask me to personalized Office (basically treating it as a first time use) Is there any work around that.
Thanks
James

Setting Sound preference defaults for managed accounts

Hi, I just added a bluetooth speaker to my MAc Mini, and I had no problem setting it as default speaker for my administrator account. However the setting is not automaticatically transferred to the managed accounts, and them beeing managed can not acces the preferences. Is there a simple way of doing this, or should I go to the trouble of setting each account as administrator, log as the other user, change the preference and then change it back as managed account?

Rebooting again resolved the problem. Though I rebooted differently than I generally reboot. I left the audio interface powered-up during boot. Generally, I only power-up the interface (USB2) when needing audio. It's never been a problem. I hope that wasn't the solution to this problem.

How to Create a New Admin Account and Change Original to Standard Account?

I have a single user admin account that I set up when I got my PowerBook. Now I want to have two accounts with the new one being the admin account. This way I can leave most of the data files, email accounts, etc. with the old account and use the new one for personal data and admininistration. Then I could give out the password for the original account without fear that a user could change permissions and get access to the new account with the personal data. Can I create a new admin account and then change the original account to "Standard" instead of "admin"? What problems will this create?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

i2:
Not sure if you are asking if or how. Templeton has
answered if. Here's how.
Apple Menu > System Prefs > Accounts. Click on the +
under User Options to create new account. Go to
Security and check box at bottom to make account
admin. You can take care of the other items, picture
etc, login options etc.
To make the other account Standard select the
account, go to Security and deselect box "Allow User
to Administer".
Hope this answers your questions.
Good luck.

How to handle Investement Management Account (IMA)?

Hi,
Our client engages in Investment Management Account arrangement with a bank where in;
Under an IMA arrangement, the Principal (our client) transfers and delivers to the Investment Manager (bank) a sum of money which the latter shall manage, invest and reinvest, including all increments and additions thereto that may constitute income hereof, for the benefit of the Principal (the principal is our client). This is like a trust service. How do I handle this in SAP Treasury?

Hi,
I don't think there is a standard product type available for you this. You can handle it in Moneymarket as a cash flow transaction and define your own flows for the same.

Admin password works within admin account, not in standard/managed account

My admin username and password work within my admin account but when I try to use them to override changes in my wife's or my daughter's standard / managed accounts it does not work. If I want to allow the application firewall or to change parental controls there is a request for an admin password. I know that the username and password are correct and the account has not been made a standard account by upgrading. I have read the other threads about the problems found by some users in 10.5 but this is different as it is definitely still an admin account, it just seems as if it not recognised as such outside the admin account itself.
Hope my description of this makes sense to someone. Any help would be appreciated.

Are your wife's or daughter's accounts using keyboard layouts that might be remapping some of the characters to a different key? Are any of these characters in the admin password?
Also, you should be using the "short" user name of the admin account when authenticating. Normally the short user name has no capital letters in it. Check the short user name in System Preferences -> Accounts.
Suggestion: Create a fourth account, make it an admin account, and then remove admin rights from your own user account. Unnecessarily running all the time as admin is bad security practice. Apple recommends only logging in to the admin account to do admin tasks, and doing all of your day-to-day work in a non-admin account.

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

How to clear line items in accounts not managed on an open item basis

We are getting ready to archive FI accounting documents from years 1993-2002. We encountered a great deal of documents that did not archive during testing because the documents have open items. We were given bad advice in the beginning on how to set up accounts. Several accounts were not set up on an open item basis and these accounts will not get archived until the line items are cleared. We have set up new accounts to replace these accounts that are now being managed on an open item basis. Our FI users are unable to clear the documents using F-03. Does anyone have a way of clearing these type of documents (not managed on an open item basis)? Thank you in advance.

One of our users has proven that the line items on GL accounts not managed on an open item basis are not holding up the archiving. The reason for many documents not archiving is that the item posted to the vendor is still open.
thanks!
