How do I keep an incorrect username from coming up with a click on the box?

I typed in an incorrect username. Now, when I click on the username box to bring up my username, it shows the incorrect name as a choice, but I don't want that to show. Is there some way to delete that name?

Hello, joho.
To get rid of any saved login credentials, you may place your mouse pointer on the item you desire to remove and press the 'Del' key of your keyboard.
You may also go to '''Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Saved Passwords''' and again delete the desired credentials.
Thank you for your valuable time and please let us know if this solution resolved your issue.

  • How can i keep my contacts seperate from my wifes with ios5

    After installing ios5 the only way to add or edit contacts was to merge them on icloud now i have my son's and wifes's contacts on my devices because we all sync upmto the same pc with the same apple id. We would prefer to keep our conacts seperate.

    I've been looking into this as well, since my husband and I each have an iPod and use the same iTunes Store account.  I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like you can set up each person with their own iTunes account and thus their own iCloud account for backups and then go into the Store settings and put the original Store account back in.
    I'm waiting to update hubby's iPod because I want to make sure my devices work OK.  He's not technically inclined and would panic if he had a problem, so I'll be doing his updating.  I really want this tactic to work because he rarely syncs his iPod so I want that cloud backup to go automatically.  I've told him that he's responsible for his own data, but I'd still have to listen to the complaining if he loses all his Angry Birds scores.

  • How can I keep iTunes (10.5) from randomly starting up?

    How can I keep iTunes (10.5) from randomly starting up, just out of the blue?  I have disabled wifi sync to my iPad
    Has anyone figured out how to stop this annoying behaviour?

    I am sorry, but the Windows OS is totally unfamiliar to me. I'm a Mac.
    I did Goggle the issue and there are a number of support articles about this error message on the Internet. It seems to be a problem in your OS but like I said, I am not Windows knowledgeable at all.
    You either have to reregister the Windows installer or reinstall it - if I am reading any of this correctly.

  • How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function

    How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
    I purchased my Mac used.  The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store.  It does not allow me to use a different user name.    I have created my own username and password.  I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username.  Any help is appreciated.

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

  • How do I keep my contacts separate from other users under the same Apple ID?

    First, we have a single Apple ID that we use to log into iTunes and App Store.  We also have separate iPads.  Recently, my wife purchased an iPhone 4S.  During setup, she entered the Apple ID we use.  What happened next was that all of my contacts were added to her phone.  Then she followed the instructions to import her contacts from her old cell phone.  When that was done, all of my contacts were deleted from her phone.  Worse, they were deleted from my Address Book on the iMac (my account) and my iPad.  How do I keep my contacts safe from being deleted?  Do we need to have seperate Apple IDs?

    Go to settings>iclod>then mark "no" in  "contacts" .

  • How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

    How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

    Thanks for you reply.  When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested.  I begin painting.  After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank.  And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo.  It interrupts the painting process.  I think it goes blank due to a sleep function.  I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function.  But, this does not seem to work.  What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

  • How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

    How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that.  It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
    Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
    Regards,
    JC

    I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
    That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been.  Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail.  The only true solution is to not let other people use your account.  Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person.  This will also solve the problem of remembering the password.  It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

  • How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

    How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop?  It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work.  Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen.  Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem.  Thank you in advance for any help offered!

    Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE.  I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this.  This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view.  If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt.  Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue.  Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
    THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

  • How do I keep my clipping path from shifting positions when I crop an image? [was: Question]

    How do I keep my clipping path from shifting postitions when I crop an image?

    The work path will remain positioned relative to the same underlying pixels after a crop.  Are you trying to position it relative to one or more image edges after cropping?  I don't think you can do that without moving the workpath after the crop.

    *Tip: ALL CAPS = SHOUTING*
    You don't tell us what year model MBP you have. Also, there is no such thing as iOS 10.9.5, but there is Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. In addition to that, tell what you mean exactly by "... locking up all the time..." and What you Did exactly when you "... undid it once before..."

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID
