How do I change the user name that appears next to the House icon on the Finder Window?

I'm giving my old iMac to my father-in-law and would like to change the user name from mine to his.
I've edited my Account info and changed it to his, but this does not seem to change the name in the finder window.
Many thanks.

    Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
    NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

    You have to clear saved password for this page:
    # Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
    # Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
    # On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
    # Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one.

    Hi jprohask63,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article. 
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

  • Record of the user name that created a payment proposal (F110)

    Hello,
    I would appriciate your help with a question I have regarding the payment proposal process (F110).
    I am trying to find where the system keeps a record of the user name that created the payment proposal.
    I saw this field only in the table REGUA (Change of payment proposals: user and time),
    but I didn't see it for regular payment proposals (not in REGUH and REGUP).
    In general, My goal is to be able to check that the user who is creating the payment run is different from the user who created the payment proposal.
    Thank you in advance.

    In F110, display the payment proposal log. Shift+F7.
    in the heading line 'ob log overview for job'  you can see the job name.
    say  'F110-20110104-FR4NA -X'
    if it is F110-20110104-FR4NA -X / 05170400, you have to take the part before the slash that is F110-20110104-FR4NA -X
    Go to SM37, enter this in the job name. Enter * in the user id. Enter the date , on which payement run was done.
    Then execute. YOu will see, who has run the proposal or payement run in the resulting screen.

  • How do I delete remembered user names that are outdated or no longer in use?

    I have developed a long list of user names that pop up and are no longer in use when I go to sign into a web site. As the list gets longer I would like to have only the user names that are up to date and in use. I have not figured how to manage user names and how to delete ones no longer in use.

  • How can I change suggested user names?

    When I sign in to one of my frequently used web pages I get a suggested user name that is not relevant to that page. How do I change or remove the suggested user name?

    hello, go to firefox > options > privacy & chose "Use custom settings for history", then you can disable the storage of form data. Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information
    in case firefox is filling in the password automatically too, you can change that in the security tab (also in the options panel). Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

  • How do i change my user name on my icloud account

    How can i change my icloud account user name on my iphone 4s

    Hello MsTrisha60,
    It sounds like you are wanting to change the signed in iCloud account on your phone in settings. The following article should help you do that named:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Changing the application name that appears on the web browser

    Hi All,
    Thanks in advance for taking your time to reply to this question.
    As a standard behavior, the WD application name in the project is displayed in the web browser the application is executed.  How can i show a more user friend name instead of the application name which typically is more cryptic.
    Eg: if my application name is TestWDApp, the title of the browser show TestWDApp when the application is run.
    Cheers

    Aha .. that worked!!!   That was easy
    Thanks a lot.

    You are asking in the forum for Apple's defunct office suite AppleWorks. I would ask the Hosts to move your question to an appropriate forum but as you haven't stated your operating system it's not clear which this should be.
    Please go to the list here:

    and pick the forum appropriate to your operating system and start a new thread there.
