How do I properly remove a user from my system ?

Hi guys
I recently just purchased a macbook pro from a friend, and I am loving it sooooo much compared to crappy old windows.
Anyways, the issue I am having is that on all the applications it has my friends name and and the hard drive and 'Home' icon it says my friends name, even though I have renamed the admin account to my name.
Is there anyway to remove his account name completely or will this require a system re-install of 10.7.4 ?
If I do need to install 10.7.4 I may have a issue with that as my macbook pro i5 came pre-installed with Lion 10.7 and iLife
Thanks

Doing clean install of the operating system from the Recovery HD will not keep your current copy on the hard drive. Backing up your current hard drive to an external drive is essential to avoid loss of content.
This is a safe method, but as with any operating system install process, take your time, read every question or option you are asked carefully and make sure you understand what it is asking of you before proceeding with each step. Once the installer does the erase for the install it is irrevocable. So backup first, then take your time and make sure you fully understand each step along the way.
Operating system installation is usually a very smooth and easy task as long as you are fully engage with what you are doing.
Remember it is easier to things right the first time than to correct mistakes later.

How do you COMPLETELY remove EVERYTHING "googled" from your system?

<Re-Titled By Host>

I think I finally got rid of it. I searched drive C for "beats" and "beat" and erased all of them that appeared to be related to Beats Audio. I had to do that three times, each time deleting any Beats files tht showed up in a search. Finally, after the third boot, nothing showed up in the search. My audio is working just fine, and no more Beats Audio. I imagine I could still run Beats through the motherboard but, as long as i don't try to run Beats, it's no longer automatically loading at boot.
Thanks for your time.

How can I completely remove Java JRE from my system?

Hi,
the installation of an earlier version of JRE didn't finish properly (1.5.??), since then it isn't possible at all neither to deinstall it nor to install ANY version (stops on extraction of the installation files, the process must be killed by the task manager!). It seems as if there are some incorrect statements left in the registry.
When I try to install the latest version, it stops with a "missing version information" error.
Is there any possibility to remove ALL statements belonging to Java out of the registry without doing it manually, so that I can install the latest version? Or does anyone of you have a better idea?
THX,
Christian

If the uninstaller has already lost some files, it will be diffcult to uninstall properly from Add/remove programs. Its better to remove the entry from registry.Actually you can do it safe without much problem.If no other versions of java are installed, delete the javasoft key (entire tree)from LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE. Then reinstall jdk.It should splve the problem

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

Shared Services 11.1.2 Unable to remove assigned user from a security group

In Shared Services 11.1.2 - trying to remove a user from the assigned users list of a security group. Initially, I am able to remove the user and the assigned users total decreases by one - but when I relaunch the group properties - this user is still in there? The change does not hold. Any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
Not sure if this is related to yours, but it might be worth having a look at the following articles on Oracle support --
External users in EPM Shared Services (e.g. MSAD users) cannot be removed from Native groups if they have multiple IDs in the external user directory. [ID 1526569.1]
Users from External User Directories Cannot be Removed from Native Groups [ID 1272309.1]

Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
Step 1
Create a lookup list Example department
Columns
Title (by default) – Single line of text
Users – Person or Group
Emails – Multiple lines of text
hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
Workflow Stage 1
Set Emails to current Item: Users
The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
Step 2
Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow

Hi there. You are using Network Magic, right? You can reconnect them by manual configuration which means you have to open the wifi settings on those devices and connect to your wireless network from there. If it does not work you might want to restart the service for your Network Magic. How? The steps are as follows (I found this from an online website before but I am not sure if it was from purenetworks.com):
1. Open Computer or My Computer.
2. Open drive C
3. Open Program Files
4. Open Pure Networks
5. Open Network Magic
6. Open Support folder
7. Double click serveme
8. Serveme icon appears on the tray. Right click icon and click on StopNMservice. The icon turns red from green.
9. Right click serveme icon and click on DeleteNetworkLib.xml. Right click again and click Force First Run.
10. Restart your computer.
That will restart the service for your NM software.
You might want to refer to the links below I found from Cisco's public kb site.
