How do I take a user name off icloud on my mac book?

The mac book was set up by someone else.  I'm the second owner how to I take off the other name in ICloud? 

If it's currently signed into someone else's iCloud account, go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out.

    How do I take my moms name off my Game Center profile

    They really changed game center between iOS 6 and iOS 7, with it they moved some of the options of game center.  Instead of changing your nickname in the app.  You have to go to settings and scroll down till you see game center.  There you have to sign in before you can change the name.  I was just trying to do this and just figured it out. lol

  • HT1430 how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace

    how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace. I have no reason to use icloud on MBA. I have an iphone that's functional & MBA's only a wordprocessor network'd to other machines & server. iclould serves NO FUNCTION on MBA. I have tried to remove it but have been unable to "log out".

    Icloud is a web based service.  If you are not actively using it, then it has no effect on your MBA.

  • How do I get a user name off the permissions in "Get Info"?

    I installed some new apple software and the help manuals are not showing upas they should. The problem seems to be in the get info permissions area, I am the owner and administrator so I was able to unlock it and add me to the list, but the old unkown-'read only' still is there. I tried the steps in the Manual- select the unkown account and click on the minus, but it doesn't remove that unknkown account. Any one know how to fix this?

    I would use the external for backup and other storage and use the internal for the OS, Applications and User/Home folders.
    First back up whole of internal to external as a new read/write sparse disk image with Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Then use install DVD to erase internal before you install.
    Resist the temptation to import more than necessary from old OS as you could be importing corrupted files. I usually import network preferences and any special non-Apple applications for which I don't have installers. Items from Home folder etc can be dragged across after the install.
    Just remember that hard disks can fail at any time without warning with the loss of everything - best not to have anything critical on only one disk.

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now.  It is clogging up the computer, though.  How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

    I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now.  It is clogging up the computer, though.  How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

    See "Storage drive" here
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Th problem with HD video is it needs a fast external interface, so you should pick a external drive that uses the fastest interface your computer has to offer.
    Performance rank fastest to slowest is
    Thunderbolt, USB3, (newer Mac's)
    Firewire 800, USB 2, Firewire 400, USB 1 (older Mac's)
    Newer Windows PC's have USB3, older one's USB 2,1.
    You need to format the drive if it comes FAT which a lot do, as FAT has a 4GB file size limit, so this won't work with large HD video files.
    So if your  going to use the drive only with a Mac, then head to Utlities > Disk Utility and format it Options: GUID Format: OS X Extended Journaled. (select the drive makers name and click Partition tab)
    If your going to use the external drive with a PC, take it to the oldest PC you have and right click and format exFAT.
    If you have a Windows XP machine and there is no exFAT, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.
    Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's

  • How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?

    How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
    got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

    Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
    You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

  • How do I take credit card information off my iTunes account?

    I just bought a new iPhone and had to update all my Apple ID information. It did not give me the option to opt out of including my credit card info. so I put it in. I bought $25 iTunes card and thought that if I booth the app it would automatically ask for the iTunes code. It didn't so I got charged on my credit card witch it now negative. After I figured that out I put the $25 on my iTunes the right way with no issues. Today I the app I purchased said I need to update it but as I to update is instantly brings up my credit card info. and says there is a precious purchase issue that needs to be resolved. How do I take the credit card off? Do I need to put money on my card in order to clear things up? And would erasing my card also erase the app I bought?

    First you will have to take care of the outstanding balance. Then you can only adjust the payment method in iTunes on the comptuer, not on the phone.
    To take care of the balance, you will have to contact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html No one here can help you with this.

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

    I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

    I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.
