How do I change the computer's Admin name so that I can give it away?

There is copy protected software and a licensed copy of OS X that the next owner isn't allowed to use nor can update.
Your supposed to erase all software from the machine and return it to the OS X version that came with it, 10.6 is the earliest you can go.

How do you change the position of email sender so that it's on the left (sender[from], subject and date received)

In the Thread Pane where your messages are listed?
You see that bar with the labels "From", "Subject", "Date" and so on? Well, they are buttons. You can click on them to sort your messages. You can also drag them with the mouse left and right to reposition them, and you can drag their ends to change the column widths.
These are standard computer actions; you can do all of this in Windows Explorer ("My Computer") too.
In Thunderbird, a right-click on any of these buttons will reveal a pop-up menu where you can select and deselect the columns to control what is shown.

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server?

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server? Enterprise solutions suggested I post this question here to get a direct answer. I have searched everywhere... This would be the META TAG On the top of browsers...

I went looking for this answer, to no avail.
Solution I used:
step 1 - Navigate to the folder /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locales/en.lproj/ and open the only file there called default.strings.
step 2 - somewhere around lines 74 & 164 you will see the default title "OS X Lion Server". I'm sure only one of the is required to be changed to adjust the title on the window, but I changed both to my desired title. Save and close. If asked for authentication, enter you administrator details.
step 3 - restart the server (or wiki service may work too)
step 4 - done and your Wiki welcome page should show the new title
Finally I have a bookmark that means something by default.
Hope this helps

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?
Thanks.

Do you mean you want it saved with the resolution set to something other than 72 dpi when the capture is made, or do you mean you want your capture saved at a higher resolution than the captured area?
1) If the first, there are ways to change the default capture format .png to something else, such as .jpg, .tif and a few others, but as far as I know, the resolution will always be 72 dpi. You can use Preview to change the resolution of the captured image under Tools > Adjust Size. You will get this:
If your intention is to set the resolution for professional printing defaults, then change the resolution to 300. Turn off Resample image to prevent the image from actually having more pixels added. The resolution will simply be reset from 72 to 300 dpi without changing the actual number of pixels in the image. It will also print a lot smaller since the output device will now use 300 pixels per linear inch instead of 72.
Leave Resample image on if you need to maintain the dimensions. Be aware however that scaling the image (resampling) will add a lot more pixels to the image than are there to maintain size. Expect the image to get very soft and pixelated looking when adding 417% more data to the image than it currently has.
2) If you mean you want the OS to actually save the captured area as a high resolution image at size, that can't happen. A capture is a 1:1 grab of the display buffer. It can only capture what's there. So if you capture a 700 pixel x 500 pixel area, that's all the bigger it can be without scaling it afterwards.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

How can I change my I Phone's name so that I can integrate with I Cloud?

How can I change my I Phone's name so that I can integrate with I Cloud? I initially gave my IPhone my Apple Id as name and when I upgraded to Lion and joined I Cloud I could not sync my MAIL because my .ME account was not the same as my Apple Id. Now I have I Cloud but can not sync my mail. My Apple Id is my work e-mail and very important to me. My I Phone was working great, not without some glitches, but great.

Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed

The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
In any event, thank you for your help.
