How do I change a managed user account to a non-managed account?

I had a Time Machine back up of a user account that was managed by an IT group at the last company I worked for. I am no longer employed by that company and I used Migration Assistant to import my Time Machine backed up user account to a new Mac. Now I have all sorts of issues with permissions (I can't open VLC because I can't run it as root, I can't run Steam, I can't open iTunes). I've already repaired permissions using Disk Utility and I restarted in Recovery mode and did the "resetpassword" command in Terminal and reset Home folder permissions. No luck. Any ideas?

I looked into this a little more carefully. It's not the Guest account. It clearly indicates "Managed".
Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
I would suggest restoring as new.

Hello Katvan12,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
Have a nice day,

Hi,
How I can change to standard user an admin user, if the check box can not be unchecked.
I have opened the lock to allow for future changes.

As root user, I can't do it.
Thanks.

I finally decided to create a new standard user and delete this.
Thanks for the support.

Hi 7oaksGaz,
1) Due to tax reasons, it's not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID.
Follow the steps mentioned in the below link as a workaround to create an Adobe ID with the email address you currently use for the existing Adobe ID.

How do I change the credit card infor attached to my itunes account?

How do I change the credit card infor attached to my itunes account?

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

How do I change an Apple ID payment method to 'None'? I've tried everything and the only solution is to get a new e-mail and start all over again. Any other options?

Buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

HT1528 How can I change administer on user accounts without a password?

I am the sole user of my computer and do have a username and password, but somehow was unselected as an administrator. Without being selected as the administrator, I am unable to make necessary changes. How can I correct this?

Could you be more precise? How were you "unselected as an administrator?" What is your curren account status level?

How can I change my AD user accounts to unmanaged?

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a Leopard Mac Pro build and run into a problem that I've replicated on a 1year old Macbook Pro. I'm Running fully patched 10.5.2 on both machines. Binding to AD is no problem. After logging in with an AD account, the Login Items screen in Accounts is unreachable. I've heard that setting the account to unmanaged will fix this. The AD accounts do show as "managed" in the Accounts prefs pane. However, holding down option key while logging in does not bring up the management settings window. The option key does the trick in Tiger, but does nothing on either Leopard machines.
Does anyone know of an alternate method to set the account to unmanaged?
Thanks,

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

Cant restore after installing updates how do I change the home user/account

I installed 3 updates, opps, this morning, and when I restarted the computer it had reverted back to old setting from 2004. I purchased the computer from a friend, and had worked hard to remove his stuff, now my settings mail etc are gone and the old stuff is back. How do I restore the computer to what it was before the updates took it all off? also how do I change the home from his back to ours? sorry, I am new at this and very very frustrated with the mac so far.

Changing the home folder name caused the problems, not the updates. The problems won't show up until you restart, which, in your case, was just
after the updates. See:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824>
When you get a used computer, it is safest to erase the disk (with zeroing option), then reinstall OSX, update it, and get the latest versions of all the software you need. You should also run Extended Tests from the Apple Hardware Test disc to be sure there are no hardware problems.

HT1491 How can I change the answers to the security questions in my account?

I've used my account for purchases on my mac and other devices, but on the ipod touch it is asking for me to answer the security questions on my account, but I don't remember what I answered when I opened my account. How can I change those?

1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
    b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
        and service.
3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.
