How to replace all prior admin account info and files

I know this is a common question but I'm bogging down reading the various threads and would appreciate a link or answer.
I replaced my Powerbook hard drive, clean installed (no archive) and updated Tiger, transfered my home folder and apps only via Carbon Copy Cloner from a back up drive. I noticed that I had typo'ed my ne Admin long and short name. I went to Sys Prefs/Accts and created a new account, logged into that one, gave it admin access, re-logged to the new acct and deleted the old one.
My P'Book still shows the old name on start up. How do rename and certain that any other existing system level or other files under the old acct are gone. I'm also getting keychain password box and the P'Book immediately wakes up when trying to Sleep from Apple menu or closing the lid.-checked energy saver settings and reset Power Manager... I'll look at those after I'm sure there's nothing lingering from the old admin account. No other problems noted.
I'd greatly appreciate a thread or explanation.
Thank you.

Yes, the old account is gone in Sys Prefs/Accts. When I start up the machine, the old name still shows above the log in window, while the new account name is the only log in option.
I've also got a keychain mail password box popping up so I want to be sure that everything is gone from the old account before I resolve the keychain. Some threads here give me the impression there may be other files lingering from the original account set up from the boot disk, even though I deleted it from Sys Prefs/Accts.

  • I lost all my bank account info and personal login details kept on my Notes (app)

    This happened when I have updated my iPhone 5C to iOS 8.0. What do I do? Apps are also crashing and other tracks on Music kept on appearing on other Artist on Artists Tab
    Pls help, Apple!

    Did you take a backup before you updated to iOS 8? Did you use iTunes on a computer or iCloud backup?
    I'd attempt to reinstall iOS 8 (if you think it is not working correctly) then restore the backup to see if the notes appear.
    P.S. Keeping your bank account details & personal info in the Notes app is a TERRIBLE idea. It is not designed for that. Use an application that is designed to keep the data secure like 1Password or LastPass (there are many others in the app store). They will encrypt the data on the device and on any device you sync to, they also should secure the data that is sent between the devices across network connections.
    Apple says it does not encrypt Notes on the server, it only encrypts it in transit to and from iCloud.

    That means your bank detail notes are sitting on a server somewhere in a form that could be read by anyone who compromises Apple's servers - this may never happen, but if it does you only have yourself to blame.

  • HT5925 I have an iCloud email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete it and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • SL:How do I give the Admin account premissions to access other accounts?

    How do I give the Admin account the permissions needed to read and write the folders desired in the other account(s)?

    I have a MacPro running Tiger and for whatever reason when I am logged into the machine with my user account which has Admin privilages I can open/drag and drop etc. from my desktop to my wife's account ( which I set up as limited with parental restriction to only what she needs to access and use.)
    a parental controlled account for your wife. you must have an interesting relationship...
    I am setting up a Mac Mini running SL for my 90 year old in-laws and it was my intention to give them a STANDARD user account so that they can not download and install anything nasty which they did all the time on the Windoze machine the Mini is replacing. I have set up an Admin account on the machine so I can install stuff and perform maintenance functions VIA VNC connection from San Dieg to them in NYC... But I was surprised when I could not access any folders on their account... specifically their desktop where I tried to drop a file.
    Not sure why it's no biggie on Tiger but Leopard's throwing a fit. Any ideas?
    this is quite normal and is the default in all versions of OS X. a user has write access too their own home directory but not to any other users home directories. being an admin user does not change that. as an admin user you can give yourself write writes to it as discussed earlier but that won't happen by default. the best thing to do in the situation you describe is to log in as your in-laws once you vnc into their computer. then you can copy what you need to the desktop. it's of course possible to do it from the admin account by giving it write access to their desktop as you were intending but that will give you extra problems later because their users won't have write privileges to anything you copy that way.

  • Ive gotten 3 responses from you guys. But still no help. Can't believe it's taken this long for apple to respond to this issue and I'm very disappointed that all I did was take precaution from left to my account info and my account has been disabled since

    I love posts without a 4 digit version number. This may well be because of a bug, and as this post is lacking a 4 digit version number, nobody will be able to answer it.
    You posted in vain.
    I recommend you search on Metalink whether there are issues with this parameter.

  • How do I change my admin account to a standard acct without losing anything?

    I'm not sure if that is the best way to phrase the question, but I have been reading a lot about the last trojan that seems to be causing problems.  I am very careful about not downloading or installing things I am not sure of, but even then, I might want to download a picture that seems safe and be surprised.  I have been reading that it is better to do daily internet tasks/surfs/etc from a standard rather than from my admin account.  I am the only one regularly using my mac so I hadn't really thought that it was a problem.  (I have a seperate account with parental controls set for my grandchildren to use).  Can I turn this account into a standard account and then have a different admin account?  And then what if I want to install something for my standard account to use?  Would I still download audiobooks from a website I belong to to the admin account?  If the issue is that I need to provide my admin password, why is it any safer on the standard account?  I hope I'm making myself clear.  I want to understand this so I can make the decision that works best for me, whichever way I chose to go. 
    Thanks,
    Laverne's Mom

    thank you for reminding me about Thomas' Corner.  I read it probably a month after I got my Mac.  I am not going to instll any AV software right now, but will look at ClamXav, which is the most recommended one on this forum, since I fall into the "might need peace of mind" category.  I do think I "surf" very responsibly, don't download or install anything I am not sure of, don't do social networks (I may be the only person who has never been on Facebook) or open unknown emails, and use the WOT add on to alert me to dangerous websites.  thank you for responding to the other post about the issue regarding general and admin accounts.  If I change my mind, I know what options are available to me.

  • I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorize but still won't play.

    I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorized but still won't play. None of this happens with any other songs on my itunes. I would just purchase the song again but I can't because every time I try to purchase it, the song says "play" next to it instead of "buy." When I hit play no music plays it just goes back to saying my computer is not authorized so I authorize it and it says it is already authorized then I click it again and it says my computer is not authorized. It's a never ending annoying circle. How can I get the song to play?

    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • Mail erases account info and now requires a new port number to send mail

    well like the topic said, my mail tends to erase all my account info, and when I re-enter it it says I cannot send or receive mail.
    I somehow now got it so I can GET mail but it still won't let me send mail citing that the port number is wrong and now asks for an IMAP path prefix... sheesh...
    any suggestions?
    thanks!

    OK...OK I think I fixed it... sorry for the crazed post
    i was trying to change the port in the wrong window... i did the old 'change to port 587 trick' ...whew
    but this does happen a lot... any reason why?
    or is mail just buggy??

    I am trying to download purchases made from my Iphone4 and it says "I do not have privledges to access the network. Please check your network connection and try again." I have checked my account info and it is good. I have made sure my pc is authorized and it is. Any ideas? I am on a gateway with windows 7 with all updates. Running Itunes 10.6.3.

    I also have a new iPad and am having the same problem. I have tried all the apple troubleshooting tips and changing the DNS server, as well as setting up a new Apple ID. I already had an ID and it has worked for a year with my iPod. It works on the iPad with apps but not with Facetime or iMessage. I have changed router settings, added Google DNS to my PC as a DNS....nothing. I am at my wits end

  • How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

    I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
    oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
    oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
    oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
    oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
    oRptView.ViewReport
    Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
    1. MySubReport1
    2. MySubReport2
    My Question is :
    How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
    I try to using command :
    oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
    oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
    oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
    oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
    oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
    oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
    oRptView.ViewReport
    but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
    Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

    Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
    To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here
