  • Deleting user account and os

  • Deleting User Account and associated files

    How can I delete a user and the accounts associated files and documents ONLY for that user account?

    Thanks for the speedy responses.  No, I'm not trying to restrict users.  I am selling my iMac and wanted to leave the programs in tact for the new user and just wipe everything off that is associated with me.  I have MS Office Suite on the iMac and offered to leave it there for the person I'm selling to since I don't use it anymore anyway.  I think in deleting my user account, I lost the Office Suite.  I'm just in the middle of it all right now so not 100% sure.  Thanks so much for your good help.

  • How to delete admin account and keep my original account (that is now being listed as standard or managed)?

    I created another account using parental controls and somehow that new account is managing my first original one. The new account is being listed as admin in Users & Groups. When I logged into my original account, I go on Users & Groups to delete that admin account and the little minus - sign is greyed out. 
    Also I need to add that before I do all that, I go on the padlock button and I have to enter that new account's username and password/. I am so lost!!

    Did you ever find an answer cuz I am curious too!

  • How to manage user account and management through AMS

    Hi all,
    I’m in the process of designing a new mobile app that requires user registration, login and password reset. Basically all the standard user self service activities that public apps provide. Imagine Instagram for example.
    We’re already looking at Azure Mobile Services and Facebook, Live, etc. authentication. But I’m a bit unclear on how to best handle manual user registrations. How would you best handle a user who decides that they want to register
    without their social account?
    User table in the custom application DB with user name, password, etc. and custom user management pages for registration, login, password reset
    Azure Active Directory and OAuth same as with facebook, etc. Then build custom user management pages for registration, login, password reset, etc.
    Some other Azure service that I don't know about?
    Something else?
    I noticed there is already another related question here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/ca5527f6-1130-4ebb-b335-2d4d6eda7734/create-new-account-and-reset-password-options-on-aad-signin-page?forum=azuremobile
    The 2 important aims for this app are to require minimal maintenance and support overhead and high security at the same time.
    Thanks,
    Kia

    I am not saying that, but with your question it looks like you want a custom auth.
    Did you saw these article:

  • TS2446 how to delete my account and info completely?

    How do I go about completely deleting my apple account and info?

    It's not currently possible to delete an iTunes account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it. But if you bought/downloaded any content with it then that will remain tied to the account - so if you ever want to re-download it or authorise it on a new computer then you will need to remember the id and password

  • How can I permantely delete photos from iPhoto in order to free up space on my MacBook Air?

    I am trying to delete photos (which I have backed up on an external drive) from my MacBook Air in order to free up storage space.  When I simply drag the photos into the trash and empty, I see no difference in the amount of storage.  I also read somewhere that they are also stored in iPhoto, so I have tried to delete them in small batches, only to return to the trash bin and find that the remaining (undeleted) ones are missing.  What's going on with this?
    I have a MacBook Air (late 2010)

    Are you aware that iPhoto has its own trash area?  Find it on the left sidebar.  Go there and empty the iPhoto trash.

  • How can I save photos and free up space in iPhoto?

    I have a hard drive that used to be used on a PC. It's format is MS-DOS (FAT32). I've been using it for the past year with my Mac with no issue (moving files onto it and off of it).
    I have over 30,000 photos in iPhoto now and am noticing that it's quite slow and often gets the 'rainbow spinning wheel'.
    I want to move most of my photos over to the hard drive, but I still want to be able to access them.
    1. Do I need to reformat the hard drive?
    2. Where do I locate the iPhoto files on the mac?
    Thanks in advance!!

    1. Yes you do, and you do it with Disk Utility. There are lots of videos and posts on this online. For instance:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8te1bg07MsQ
    Remember that formating a drive will erase it so make sure you back it up forst.
    2. One you're sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I free up space on my macbook air?

    I have already deleted local versions of movies and music after backing them up to iCloud. I deleted all the games too except for Alpine Crawler.
    I am giving this notebook to a friend and I want to clean all of my stuff off before resetting it to factory settings. No matter what I do I can't seem to free up space on the HD.

  • How do i free disk space on my macbook air

    Is there a simple way to find and delete duplicated files and folders.I need to free up much needed disk space,
    or there an app that will do it for me ?

    Well, iTunes is a start. It duplicates your songs. (at least with me) try looking for the duplicates and deleting them. Second, iPhoto is the DEVIL!
    I have a MBP mid-2010 with 250g hard drive, and i freed 30g of space cleaning out duplicate pics that iPhoto makes. There is another 10 I have an option of cleaning, but those are very important to me, so I chose not to.
    That's about it.
    Btw, check your applications folder and delete anything uneccesary.
