How to remove my information from guest account

Hello.
I've created a guest account for someone to use while I'm away next week.
When I log in to the "guest" account, I can see the icons for my hard drive, 2 extra hard drives and time machine on an external HD, on the display. I can remove all of the icons by using preferences and un-checking the "hard drives, dvd/cd icons to display" on the desktop options.
My problem is knowing the user of the guest account can do the same thing and have access to all of my data. Is there an option in accounts> creating a guest account that I missed somehow? Is there another way to be sure that my data is safe from the user of my guest account?
Any help would be appreciated.

Your data are safe unless you've made the guest account an admin account. Otherwise, the other user has no access to your files if they are using a managed account. Furthermore, you can use parental controls to further restrict that user's access to data on the hard drive.
The concept of having user accounts is that each user's files are private. Being able to have a drive on the Desktop does not give access to everything on the drive unless the user account has been configured to do so.

How to remove old iPod from my account

I purchased a new iPod Touch and have it up and running.. I want to give my iPod classic to my grand daughter. I have restored it and renamed it, but I want to remove it from my account but it seems there is no option in editing my account to remove a machine from it. How can she register it to a new account when she gets it or use it when she goes to the iTunes store if it is registered in my account?

When the iPod is connected to her computer, change the computer it's associated with. Reregistering it with Apple can be done by clicking here and following the instructions, but isn't needed.

Linksys SmartWifi - How to remove a device from the account

I had a EA6500 and a E4200 in the same house, both running the Linksys SmartWifi firmware. Both devices show up when I login to the SmartWifi admin page. I no longer own the EA6500 but the device still shows up in my device list when I login to the E4200. I'd like to understand what i need to do to remove the EA6500 from the SmartWifi device registration while still keeping access to my E4200.

There is probably a way, but why bother? It does not hurt anything.

How do I remove payment information from my account, like the credit card number and information?

*NO THIS DOESN'T HELP ME AT ALL*

"Symptoms
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
Resolution
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
Open iTunes. If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account.
Click the Edit Payment Information button.
In the Payment Method section, choose None.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file."

I cant find the edit payment information, and everytime i try to delete the information it only says payment option declined then it refreshes and the same information is there

How to remove CPI Logo from Guest Users Printed Credentials?

Hi all,
I recently migrated from NCS 1.1.2.12 to PI 2.1 for one of my customers.
My concern is related to the printed credentials for Guest Users on a WLAN which uses Web Authentication, this credentials are generated by Lobby Ambassador accounts.
When I print the credentials for Guest Users, the Cisco Prime Logo is included at the top of the printed paper, which is something that did not happen in NCS prior to the migration.
Do you guys know if there is a way to remove that Cisco Prime logo so this is not printed along with the credentials?
Thank you in advance.
Calvillo

Hi Nour,
Sorry, it is not a concern... I think I should've used the word "doubt" instead.
I also thought that removing the PI logo was not possible but want to make sure before confirming this to the customer. He just doesn't want the logo to appear on the paper.
Thanks!

How to remove credit card from iTunes account

I have been trying to download FREE apps and recently it says its not valid and to change it. I don't have a real card or money to spend for an iTunes card. I have looked all over the web and nothing useful. I don't have a computer nor have one to use. I would think after paying money for a product and service it would work properly, even more so for how much these are worked on.

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.
