  • How to change admin account name?

    My parents started up my MacBook Pro and gave it a stupid admin account name. I though I knew how to change it, but I still see it in the User list and in the terminal.
    I read about logging in as root user to change it, but just thought of doing a factory reset. I don't have anything important on it yet.
    Any Advice?

    I just found ChangeShortName software.  Looks good.  Any suggestions on 'cool' short names?

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • How to change the "short name (account name?)" and home directory name?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a new iMac and migrated account info from my MacBook Pro.  I happened to use random account name during migration without knowing it will not be easy to change the short name (account name?) and home directory name.  As a result, I am now having extremely confusing short name and home directory name on my new iMac.
    I did online search to find out how to change the two names, but I could only found somethig like "enabiling root user and....."  I have no idea what it was talking about and I don't want to take risk altering such advance set up manually.
    Please advice how I can change the short name and home directory name safely without much PC knowledge.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    There are a few ways of doing this. The easiest method is logging into the first account and copying everything to an external drive (or flash drive or whatever), which changes the permissions so that others can see the files.
    Then, login with the new account and copy the files over. Once they are copied, the correct permissions will be applied again (so other people on your computer can't access them).
    If you can't do this method for one reason or other, you can do some terminal commands to change the ownership of the files. Login to the new account. If it is an admin account, open terminal and type the following command:
    sudo chown -R -v yourusername:admin /Users/originalaccountnamehere
    That should change the ownership of the files from your old account to the new one. At that point, you can simply drag the files into place.

  • How to change user account's Short Name

    Hopefully this is a fairly simple question.
    When I installed OX 10.3 I mispelled my short name, and now I'm can't find how to change it.
    Reffering specifically to: System Preference>Accounts>Short Name
    It's not super important, but would be handier to have it displaying correct for networking.
    If anyone can let me know how to change the short name, and any issues that may result from changing it, it would be great.
    Thanks for any input

    Hi baobhanjex!
    Here is a direct link that usually works, to the utility ChangeShortName by Dan Frakes.
    Read all of the instructions carefully, and proceed cautiously, as an improper change can result in unwanted results.

  • How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID.  You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
    Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account.  Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

    how do i change my account name(apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID.  This will delete the account and any data you sync with iCloud from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    How doI change my last name on my bill and profile? Using maiden name, need to update to married name

    Yea its a good thing to update because 95% of the Time a Rep. may ask for the Primary owner of the lines and if your not that person you can't hardly do squat with it. Case in point with my With our Lines my Mom was the Primary owner and i couldn't do Anything with out them wanting to talk to her first. Getting a Phone, Making Changes, Check statuses, Heck there was one time i remember i couldn't even pay the bill not exaggerating there it was basically out of my Hands my Mom got tired of this and she changed it.. Now that i'm considered as second Owner and i can do as only my mom could there are a still a Few rare occasions that a Rep will ask for her on but for the Most of it i have free Range with the Account..  b33

  • Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

    I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
    Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
    I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
    Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
    Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

    I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • All My Files Gone! After I Changed My Account Name. Please Help!

    I changed the account name on my computer and then the next time i turned it on everything was gone; my apps, docs, media, and other files. I don't know if it was because I changed the account name and some how switched users or what happened. I know all my files are still on my computer i just want to know how to get all my stuff back. It would make me ecstatic if i didn't have to get all my music, photos, and apps back; so if you could help me that would be great. If you have questions about my problem, feel free to ask.

  • How to change iCloud account on phone after changing it on the computer?

    I changed the email (apple ID) associated with my iCloud account, but the password is the same. Now when I go to the iCloud on my phone, it doesn't give me the option to change the account name (iCloud account, apple ID). When I try to download something from the app store, it asks me type a password for my previous account name (all the same account). So I enter in the same password that I have not changed and it says incorrect. What do I do, and how do I change the account on my phone? I have it plugged in to the computer and synced with it, but nothing works.

    go to settings > itunes and app store and sign out of your account then sign in again with the updated account name
