How do stop automatically logging in to another user's account?

My computer connects to SBC Yahoo DSL via PPPoE. The SBC Yahoo DSL account and password are set (in Internet Connect) so that when you click on Safari, the computer is able to connect to the internet without having to type in the account name and password each time.
The problem is, there are multiple users on my computer who have Yahoo (or some variation of Yahoo, such as SBC Yahoo! or My Yahoo!) as a homepage. When one logs off, and I log onto my Yahoo homepage, I find I am still logged into the account of the user who just logged off. How do I stop this from happening?

Hi mhoesq,
Thanks for clarifying the different identities.
Now, when each of you go to different parts of Yahoo, do you have a similar setup as with Safari, that is, each has a Yahoo identity and password ( I presume this if it says welcome so and so) and have you checked an automatic log-in/ remember me sort of thing.
If that is the case ( and here I'm guessing) then if each person does not log out of their Yahoo account but just closes Safari, then the next time someone else logs in, Yahoo will think it is the same person.
Safari will remember a user's homepage, and Yahoo will remember who is logged in.
So adding to the scenario that you have described, if User A actively logs out of their yahoo account and then closes Safari and logs out of the Mac, then I would imagine when User B logs in, fires up Safari and is automatically logged in to a new yahoo account then it should say Welcome User B.
There are a lot of presumptions here, but this may be the explanation.
regards, roam

  • HT1386 How do I unsync my phone from another person's account?

    How do I unsync my phone from another person's account? Another family member's phone was synced into the computer. As I tried to sync my phone it automatically synced into the account of the other phone. How do I sync my phone under my name so I can sync what is on my phone?

    Create another user profile on the computer so that you can log in as yourself and have your own copy of iTunes.

  • Application won`t start - starts when logged in as another user

    An application created by Unity doesn`t start. When I double click (or right mouse click and choose `open`) nothing happens. However, when I log in as another user, or when I try to run the same program from a flash drive, it works. I tried a lot, including repairing permissions, but nothing helped.
    Thanks in advance !

    Try logging into your user while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, to supress any startup items that may be interfering with your program.
    If that does not do it, look for a preference file in you user folder by choosing the Go menu from the Finder and selecting Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences and checking for files having to do with your application. If there are any, move them to your desktop and try again.
    If that does not fix it, move them back, replacing the new ones that will be built. Also, if your program uses any data files or libraries when started up, try removing those. Again, if not fixed, put them back.

  • How many tables can be created under one user's account?

    Hi everyone,
    I am a newer, I was wondering how many tables can be created under one user's account? Is there a number of tables limitation for the whole system?
    Thanks
    Jun Chen

    The answer is that Oracle imposes no limit on the number of tables that can be created in a single schema. Whatever limits exist are imposed by the hardware and kernel resource limits of a given configuration.

  • How to Stop automatic file saving on IPAD Adobe Reader 11.2

    How can stop my PDF document being saved with the fillable form data when being using Adobe Reader 11.2 on an IPAD - the file is automatically saved when the user returns to the document folder.  The original pdf file was created from a Word document and then text,signature and date fields added using Adobe Acrobat XI and saved using Standard Save function. I am trying to achieve my users completing the template form using the IPAD and then emailing it. However each time the form is filled and emailed (which all works fine) and the user returns to the "documents" folder, Acrobat Reader 11.2 automatically saves the file with the form data

    I think the iPad forces a different way of thinking. In general, you don't have to save files on the iPad, and that's important. The iPad has complete liberty to quit an app when you want to run a different app, or just because it feels like it. When you restart a good app, things are as they were when it was quit.
    Resetting is a possibility, but remember that because of this automatic quit/automatic restart it might happen when you don't want it. A reset BUTTON seems entirely possible.

    You can't you either set it up as a new phone and then set up all the settings again and then sync your contacts, calendars and photos. Then manually select the applications you want to include

  • How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

    Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
    The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
    I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

  • TS1627 How to Stop Mac Mail from Commandeering My Preferred Email Account

    For email, I prefer my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when I click an email address online, my Mac's Mail program automatically comes up, as if I want to use it to send my email. It also starts downloading my latest email. I frantically shut it down while trying to memorize the email address I want to send a message to using another of my accounts. I do this because when Mail downloads my email, the same new messages in my other accounts get changed from "unread" to "read." How do I stop Mail from being my default for outgoing mail when clicking on email addresses found on webpages and commandeering my incoming email?

    Try, after a back up, deleting the account and re-creating it. You can also try contacting Yahoo, I have Yahoo and have had "weird problems with them". Deleting and re-creating has solved my issue in the past, try it and contact them.
    The problem is on their end, in my experience.

  • How to send the Sales Order to another user id within SAP

    Gurus,
    I have created a sale order through VA01.  Sales order number is generated.  Now that sales order I want to send it to another user.
    Is is possible, if how.
    I know we can send the reports like FBL3N, by selecting list and send there we can give the user id to whom we have to send.  Like that i want to send the sales order, how.

    Hi,
    For the standard report you can use the sending function from the menu, but sales order is a document, there is not the sending function in the maintenance view with t-code VA01 or VA02. Because the document should be printed out, you can define a condition type and create a condition record in background, let it send out a copy of sales order automatically when document saving.
    Hope it's helpful to you!
    Regards

  • I can no longer edit images on external drive if logged in as another user even with permission.

    I have two users on my computer. Me (admin) and another log-in for assistants, clients etc.
    I use an external drive to hold images.
    Lately I've had a problem where if I'm logged in as Other (this side for everyone else), I often am not able to edit images even though the permissions are set for this log-in to have complete read/write capabilities?
    Even sometimes when I'm logged in regularly (my admin side) I have received a "File Reservation" error. It says the file is being used by another user.   ????
    Then it asks if I want to use Read-Only and do I want to be notified when the file becomes available. ????
    What's happened to my files?

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.
