How do I change the message on my log on screen

I have a Macbook Air and customised my log on screen (the one you see as soon as you start the computer) to say "this mac belongs to xxx with my email address and phone number" just in case some kind soul who finds my Mac might return to me! My phone number has changed but I can't remember how I set this up so that I can alter it. Can anyone help? I've checked all the settings on the main preferences but couldn't find anything.

goto System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General,
then check mark Show a message when the screen is locked,
then click Set Lock Message

  • How can I change the MESSAGE STYLE for messages?

    My customer complains about the big "X", as well as he thinks it's an error instead of a just message or note.
    so my question is how do i change the message style then?

    You only get that when you have two or more consecutive messages. Try to avoid that is one option.
    You can change the icon if you want. Create another icon, call it stop.ico and put it in the icons directory (as indicated by UI_ICON). However, if you have a STOP alert, the icon changes for that alert too.
    Note: this is for Developer 6i. In 9i you cannot use ico files. Use gif files instead and put the image in the image jar file (found in OH/forms90/java directory). Since you see a big X, I believe you are using 6i.

  • How can we change the message type?

    Hello all
    We use SRM server 5.5 with classic scenario.
    When we create shopping cart, we implemented the Change Badi to assign the purchasing group from R/3 material master.
    We implemented the following logic.
    If material master in R/3 has no purch. Group, SRM also has no purch. Group. So SRM display the error message “You should select the purch. group” to determine the purchasing group in basic view.
    But, We have the standard error message, when we choose the material code – this material code has no purch. Group in R/3 – “No purchasing groups were found”.
    Message number is BBP_ATTR050.
    Because of this message, we can not progress the process to create shopping cart.
    Can we change the message type from Error to Warning Message?
    Or, Can we delete this message?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH

    Yes. You are right.
    When user choose the material code, there is no purch. group in 1st Step, but
    we want to choose the purch. group in 2nd Step on basic view.
    But we have the error message at 1st step. so we can not progress to 2nd Step.
    If we use dummy purch. group, user could make the human mistake.
    So our customer want to remove purch. group and choose the purchasing group by user.
    But i'm not sure if we remove this error message, we got solve this problem..
    Pls give me an idea..

  • How do I change the message background colour in mail,(2013)?

    I'd like to be able to do this.
    I send a lot of photos,(for my biz as an art photographer), and they would present FAR better on aa grey or black background than on the harsh and glaring white background.
    I haven't figured out how to create a coloured background template for the Stationary plug, or that might be an option.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciate!

    You can't do that, but you can change the visual properties of the display by selecting Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Calibrate...

  • TS3988 How do I change the iCloud ID to log into a different one

    How do I change from my iCloud to my husbands iCloud on my iPad mini?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with his iCloud ID.  If you need to migrate your data to his account and merge it with his, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to merge your data with his.
    A word of caution - when you share an iCloud account, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and the merged data appears on all devices.  You will, for example, end up with each other's contacts on your devices if you both sync contacts with the same account.  Also, any action you take with this data on one device is synced to all other devices sharing the account.  If you, for example, deleted your husband's contacts from your iPad, they would also be deleted from his devices (and vice versa) and they would be lost.
    You will also be sharing the same 5 GB of free iCloud space for your data and backups.
    If you don't want to share your data like this, you should continue to maintain separate iCloud accounts.

  • How can I change the message for an error and then cancel it

    Hi everyone.
    I am currently developing an application where I have to use a trigger (DAQmx). Now it can happen, that the user (who will operate the device later on) can activate the trigger without a valid source. After a timeout, he will get a quite strange message stating he either might want to wait longer (Error -200284 occurred at DAQmx Read). I would like to redefine this error.
    So if this error number appears, he should get a message saying: "Your request couldn't be executed, since no valid trigger signal was found".
    How would I do this .. Thanks for help

    Hi Somnatic
    There are different ways. As you describe it, you'd like to cancel the occuring error (-200284) and show another message. I attach a vi with a view ways.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5622 My husband and I share the same apple id for our iphones, how do we change the phone number associated with our apple id to his phone number? He is getting my messages because the ipod has my number in it not his?

    My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?

    Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
    If he does not have an ID then
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
