How do I block an account on a USB stick?

My daughter has created a new account on a USB stick (which I cannot find!) that overrides all the passwords and security checks for her account.  She has named it, and uses it when I am at work.  I have no idea how to stop this and although I have changed the passwords an all our family accounts to one she CANNOT guess, she obviously is able to gain access to the computer with the USB stick.  I have no idea where to begin!  The account shows as  "[son's name]'s iMac" and it has Administrators priviledges (although I have changed his settings back to "managed" in the Users & Groups pane, this makes no difference), my son is at University and therefore does not live with us and has not given her permission to use his account.  This has been going on now for three months and I'm sick of her downloading rubbish onto my computer but more importantly it means she is coming back downstairs to log back on until 2 am on a school night when we're all asleep!  Can someone please help me with blocking this account?  I'd be very grateful!!   

Insert the stick.
Wait for it to appear on the Desktop.
Drag your files to it.
Wait for the copying to complete.
Drag the icon of the drive to the Trash.
Do not remove the stick until the icon has disappeared from the Desktop.
There are backup programs available which will make the process easier by using 'incremental backups' which copy over and update only changed files.

  • How do I transfer a file to a usb stick straight from the ipad ?

    How do I transfer a file to a usb stick straight from the ipad ?

    Buy a portable wi-fi router with file sharing such as MOCREO 5-in-1 Portable WiFi (not personaly vouching for this one it just happens to be the one I have and it cost less than the apple connection cables).
    Plug your USB stick into the router
    Connect your ipad via wi-fi to the router.
    Log into the routers built in file managment or use any FTP capable app to connect (GoodReader, ifiles, etc)
    Transfer files.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Just to re-iterate...for some reason my Macbook doesn't seem to be providing enough power to the EHD through the USB ports.
    So in recap.
    1.  Is there anyway to get more power to my USB port to power the EHD
    2. If not, how do I transfer my contents of my EHD to my Macbook without wiping the EHD first
    thanks

  • How to install OS X Jaguar on a USB Stick?

    I was wondering how I could install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. I have upgraded my iMac G3 to OS X Tiger and I don't want to partition the hard-drive because it is a small hard drive. So I want to install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. But when I choose my USB Stick as the destanation it says that it can only install OS X onto a bootable USB stick! Someone please help!

    Those older machines cannot boot from a USB device. Only from internal or Firewire. If you could boot from a USB device, then you would first need to prep the USB stick by partitioning and formatting it for OS X using Disk Utility.

  • How do i put my photos onto a usb stick

    how do i put my photos onto a usb stick

    If they're stored as loose files, drag them there.
    If they're part of an iPhoto library, open iPhoto and export them to a location on it. If the drive's formatted as Mac OS Extended and has enough space, you can instead drag-copy the entire iPhoto library to it in the Finder.

  • How do you connect an iPad to a USB stick?

    Hi. I know an Ipad can read and display pdf files. If I have these files on a memory stick, how would I connect and downlaod the pdf files from the memory stck to the Ipad? I have been looking and cannot find a cable that would enable me to do this.
    The files are too big to e mail.
    It has bben suggested that the only way to do this is to download the files to a Mac first. Then place them onto the Ibooks app. Then from there to itunes. Then to sync the ipad with itunes.
    There has to be a better way.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jonathan

    The only other option beyond online tranfer is to look into Documents to Go or ReaddleDocs. Both are paid apps. Docs to Go is a word processing app that also has a desktop program that you can use to wirelessly transfer and sync documents between computers and devices. ReaddleDocs has a browser and can do online transfers although I've never used that part of it.
    Your cheapest and fastest way would be something like Dropbox and then if you have to do this regularly you can look into something else.

  • How do i import midi files from  a USB stick

    I have some music on a USB stick that I want to import into itunes so I can use them in an app. When I try and inport them itunnes doesn't show any files on the stick. They are in MIDI which I think is the problem. I am using a windows computer for this project.

    I don't think rolling back and upgrading again will fix anything in the current version of iTunes. Do you not have some other software that can convert midi to a more compatible audio format?
    Going back to your original post you say you want to use these files with an app. Can they be added to the app in question via the file sharing area when your device is connected to iTunes?

  • How to move a 4GB file onto a USB Stick?

    I know the USB stick is formatted wrong, but I'm not sure which format to use?
    I want to be able to copy my Mac files onto the stick, couple of the videos are larger that 4GB, and give them to my client, who is on a PC.
    So, I need to format it so that it will work on both a Mac and a PC.
    Disk Utility has several options, but I am not sure which one is best for the later part, moving the files to a PC.
    Disk Utility format options:
         1. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
         2. Mac OS Extended
         3. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
         4. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
         5. MS-DOS (FAT)   <-- I know this isn't it!
         6. ExFAT
    Which do I choose?

    5. MS-DOS (FAT)   <-- I know this isn't it!
    6. ExFAT
    These are the only two compatible with both. The latter can handle large files. FAT32 is only capable of up to 4 GBs per file.
    You could purchase and install Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.4 on your computer so you could read and write NTFS files. NTFS is the most compatible filesystem for your described needs.

    How can I block all other mail account just to only use the exchange mailbox of our company? This is to prevent the user to setup his on company iPhone.

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

    How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
