How do I change the owners name on my computer?

I purchased this computer in 2010 and later sold it. The person stopped making payments and I had to take it back. Now I need to remove the name/ information  and replace it with my name/information. Can it be done and how do I do this? The other name does not show in the user accounts but  every time I save something the name pops up and it drives me crazy. I know, its a "old computer" ...  Thanks

There has to be a designated User account.  What program is an example of the problem during a "save".
Options:
Simply do a complete Recovery and turn the system back to new out of the box.
Create a new user (you). The delete the previous user account.

  • I know this is sooo basic, but how do I change the owner name?

    Sorry for such a basic question. I just bought this for my daughter and set it up and it has my name at the top toolbar and I want to change it to her name. Thanks.

    The "Computer Name" is changed in Sharing preferences. The user's "Long Name" may be changed in Accounts preferences along with the account password. But changing the "Short Name" which is the username attached to the Home folder (/Users/username/) must be changed by following the instructions in this article: Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard.
    The name displayed in the Finder's menu bar only appears if you have turned on Fast User Switching. You can disable this feature in the Accounts preferences - click on lock icon and authenticate, then click on the Login Options button. Uncheck the Fast User Switching option.

  • Bought a used nano. how do i change the owners name?

    please help me. i have a used ipod nano and wish to change the name of the devise to mine. how can i do this?

    Hi,
    Changing the name is quite simple.
    Connect your iPod to your mac and then open itunes ( if using windows download itunes)
    Once the ipod is detected in itunes simply double click the ipod's name and change it to whatever you want.

  • How do I change the device name under "My Computer"?

    When I first plugged my iphone in I recieved a text from a friend. My computer then automatically set that as the iphone's name under "My Computer - Portable Devices." Changing the name in itunes does not change the name under "My Computer."

  • How do I change the owner's name for all Apple/iTunes/iCloud applications?

    The name for my iPhone device and all Apple related things I log into, the owner name is my father's name -- however, since it is my device and my phone and I use all relating applications, I would like for it to be underneath my name. How do I change the overall name for my entire Apple account?

    Go to system preferences and the sharing tab, then change the "computer name".
    That's not a problem for anything.
    If you had links from the other computer in the name.local format, you'll just need to update them.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    I would like to change the owners name on my ipad2 to my daughters name and credit. Could someone help me figure this out?

    Sign out from Find My Phone in iCloud, and sign out from your Apple ID in Settings/iTunes & App Store
    Then setup as a new phone with iTunes and when your Daughter sets it up for the first time she can add or set up her own Apple ID.

  • How can I change the administrator name?

    I'm getting ready to sell my old I-mac. How do I change the administrator name or delete it?

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. If this is not possible then simply erase the drive. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • How can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

    Hi
    I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
    <ROWSETA>
    <ROWA num="1">
    <A1></A1>
    <A2></A2>
    <A3>
    <A3_ROW num="1">
    <B1></B1>
    <B2></B2>
    </A3_ROW>
    <A3_ROW num="2">
    <B1></B1>
    <B2></B2>
    </A3_ROW>
    </A3>
    </ROWA>
    </ROWSETA>
    How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
    Thanks in advance!
    null

    In short, you can't.
    You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
    You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

  • How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID.  You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
    Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account.  Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • How can I change the OWNER of a table?

    How can I change the OWNER of a table entr2009mm ?
    Resp. the OWNER of all TABLES whose tablename match the pattern *2009* ?
    Peter

    Hello,
    There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
    But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
    Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
    If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin
