How do i make a new private account?

I have my hp Pavilion dieng on me, and its my primary laptop. In August I got a brand new iMac, and now I am thinking of getting the iMac ready, so when my Hp dies, I can move over to the iMac untill dad gets enough $$ to buy a macbook pro.
I currently have the one account on the iMac and was wondering How do I make a new account? An account where the other people on the main account cant see my stuff. And is it possible for programs to only be installed on that one account? Like, install a Instant messager on my account. But when I go to the Main account, the IM program will not be there?

System Preferences -> Accounts -> unlock the padlock -> click the + button at the bottom. All accounts that are for regular use should be non-admin accounts. Have one admin account that is used for admin related tasks only.
To install one application so that it is for one user only, you can try to install it in that user's home holder. Depending on the application, it might not work, though. In any case, you can limit users' access to applications by using Parental Controls.

HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

How can I make a new admin account without the password or cd?

I got this Mac 5 off ebay, and it works fine.. but I can't download Silverlight, or update itunes.
I've the reboot, terminal thing, but either I'm stupid and not doing it right, or it doesn't work.
I can't make a new user, or change the password, and PLEASE help.

We need a better description of what you bought. "Mac 5" doesn't ring a bell with me and I've been her a long time. Do you mean "iMac G5?"
If so, the latest versions of SilverLight require a Mac with an Intel processor--the G5 iMac is not an Intel-based computer so it will not install.
If it's a really a G5, neither can it run OS10.6 as shown in your equipment line. 10.5.8 is as high as it can go.
I can't make a new user, or change the password,
Call the seller and get the gray system install/restore disks that originally shipped with that computer, They are as much a part of the computer and the hard drive, and needed for resetting the password. I consider any used Mac sold without tose disk to be missing a part and therefore worth much less money.
So---right now we're fighting conflicting info. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and post what is says about the processor and the OS version. If the processor description includes the word "Intel," you have a much newer Mac than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers and should repost in the forumfor newer iMacs here:

How do i make a new iChat account?

I recently clicked on the provided application iChat since my friends have it. It had asked me to put in a screename and password. So i did. Then it brought me to the little rectangular icon that showed my macbook user picture and my screename. I put the mouse over the screename and it asked me if i wanted to show handle or name. I clicked name but it had my moms name. My moms name is used for the Apple ID my family uses. I want to make it so that name is mine. Please help me!

Hi,
Open iChat again
Go to the Preferences. Then the Accounts section.
At the bottom of the list on the left (Should have the account you entered in the set up procedure and Bonjour), press the + (plus) button at the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3245947?tstart=0
This will open a new Screen.
If you then Select AIM in the top item (It will be come a drop down) and then hit the "Get an iChat Account" button it should take you to the AIM Registration page (this has moved so you possibly have to use the Link I provided.)
Alternatively you can select @Mac.com and use the "Get an iChat Account" Button
This will take you here to the @mac.com registration page.
If using this one you need to have an Email Address that is not associated with an Apple ID already.
Also do not make the password over 16 characters in length as this is the Limit with the AIM servers (The page encourages longers to be "More Secure")
Just to be clear.
AIM and the two Apple IDs (MobileMe and @mac.com are all Valid AIM Screen Names)
Family MobileMe accounts that are not the Master account tend not to work as they are alias email account and not full Apple IDs.
Other forms of Apple ID are Not Valid AIM Screen Names (Unless you happen to also register it with the AIM registration process.)
iChat version 3, 4, 5 and 6 can support you using Jabber IDs
These include Googlemail ID where Talk has been enabled on your Google Account setting. (Google run a Jabber server).
Facebook also run a Jabber server and your ID can be used in iChat.
Other than Google and Facebook most Jabber IDs require you use a Jabber app to register an ID as most Jabber servers do not have a web browser page to register.
In iChat 6 (with Lion) you can also use a Yahoo ID
Again you have to have Registered this beforehand (this can be done On-line in a web browser)
NOTE
Any Jabber/Google ID and Yahoo ID will only Video Chat to other users who are using iChat as well at their end.

How do I make a new network account visible to a client at login?

I have just installed a new Leopard Server machine. It is an Open Directory master and I have created a number of new accounts with network home folders. On my client machines I have identified that OD server using the Directory Utility program. Yet when I log in from any of my Leopard client machines I only see local accounts, not the network accounts.
What am I missing?
Ian.

Did you set up your accounts on the server to be mobile or network home accounts?
I believe they are network home accounts. For example, for the user fred I have a folder on the server hard disk called /Volumes/disk1/Users/fred, which I created as the home folder when I created the user account.
There is a folder called "fred" visible at /Network/Servers/penguin.example.com/Users/fred/ from the client computers.
DId you set your sharepoints up to be automount?
I believe so. In the above example the folder /Volumes/disk1/Users is marked as a share with "Enable automount" selected and marked "Use for User home folders".
Did you bind your computer in DIrectory Utility?
Well, on each of the client computers I have used the Directory Utility program to connect to the OD server. Does that constitute binding?
Is DNS resolving properly?
Definitely. I can ping all of the computers, including the new server, from any of the computers on the network.
I should have mentioned that I had done these things - sorry about that. Anyway, I'm stumped. Anything else to try?
Ian.

How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

How to make a new iCoud account and take the old one off my iPad with the information getting deleted from my iPhone?

Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button. Any information on that account will be deleted from that device, but it will not be deleted from the cloud or any of the device logged into that account.

My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod. iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library
