I cannot change the username that allows keynote updates

Whenever I try to update my apps, the 'Enter your password' screen pops up, however, the previous owner's username is locked in place and there is no way for me to change it to my username and password...So now all of my apps are way outdated. Any idea on how I can unlock that and input my screename? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. You may want to erase the existing Mac OS X system and install a fresh one.

I cannot change the Developments that I have migrated to Production server`

Dear All,
I have migrated the Developments that are there from the DEV to the PRD server. I am facing a Problem that I am not able to change the developments that are there and I need to <b>change the IP and Hostname and also the adapter specific identifiers</b> that were there for the DEV server.
I have done a plai Export Import in .tpz format. Please do tell me whether this mode of transport does not allow the changes and also how can I edit the changes.
This is really important for me as I am nearing GO-LIVE.
Thanks a lot in anticipation.
Best Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Hi,
if you need to change anything in PRD in repository
you need to click on the software component in IR
and at the bottom of the screen you will find two checks
that will allow (or not) you to change objects
but the proposer way is to change everything in DEV of course

How do I change the Username of a User?

I'm handing off my 24" iMac to my dad and I want to change the Username that appears in Finder - Places (on left side of window. I try to edit, but it will not let me. I have changed the System Pref to reflect his name and make him the the Admin for the computer. Now I want to change this part. I can't find any info on this subject. Anyone have an answer? Thanks!

Control-click that account, choose Advanced Options, change the home folder name, restart, and move everything from the old home folder to the new one.

TS1468 How do I apply this to the new iTunes? I cannot find any functions that allows me to view my songs in list form.

Dear, Apple Technical Support
I have just purchased a 2nd generation iPod and I am a returning user to iTunes. unfortunately, I have not used iTunes since the year 2008. I have noticed a lot of things have changed and I am unable to properly organize my music. I have noticed that I cannot change the display of my songs and albums from icons into a list. I would like to form a list so that I may change the name of the composing artist so I can compile multiple songs into one album. Unfortunately, many of the DJ and Trance albums that I already have on my computer have various contributing artists and are then catigorized by the names of their contribiting artist. What I want to do is take all of these songs from one CD that have alreayd been divided and recombine them to form one singlar album on my itunes. I find it frustrating in having to search through 3000 songs just so I can upload my most favorite ones onto my iPod when I could just drag and drop the entire album into the iPod folder. I have also tried high lighting all of the songs that I want to combine into one album and then right click to get more information and change the name of the contributing artist so that they will automatically compile into one folder but it did not work. I also tried to drag and drop one song onto another, just the same as I would in Microsoft Media Player if I wanted to combine albums or add songs to an album, but that also did nothing except cause my computer to make a sound. I would like to know how I can optimize my itunes and make the most of what I have. Unfortunately, it seems like you company is not formiliar with the term "If it is not broken, then do not fix it". Putting asside that comment, is there anything that I can do to combine albums that I have not already tried and could you please give me any suggestions that will work so I will continue this product instead of giving up and just go back to using microsoft. Thank you very much.

This is a user to user support forum...
The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of earlier versions with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
Edit > Preferences > General > Show list views for all media does what it says
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
Within Music the Songs view should be the list you are familiar with.
As to getting things organized see Grouping tracks into albums.

Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do I change the name that is displayed as one of the main folders on finder?

I cannot figure out how to change the name that is displayed as one of the folders (in the red circles in the picture). It currently has my dad's name because he set up the computer but he does not use it and I wanted to try and change the name to my own. I have tried system-preferences/users-&-groups and made changed the admin to my own name but that did not change the folder name. And when I clicked the "unlock to make changes" on the folder menu (left window in the picture) it did not allow me to change the name. Any ideas?

That is your admin account on the computer. Simple solution:
Create a new admin user account to your liking. Log into that new account then delete the old account.

===Answer===
Comment on usual method and solution, by a forum Moderator.
As long as there are no confounding factors, such as certain extensions, or a user.jsfile the procedure is as follows
# Open a new tab and type "about:config" in the address bar.
# In the Search bar type: "newtab"
# Locate and double click "browser.newtab.url"
# In the "Enter String Value" box change "'''about:newtab'''" to "'''about:blank'''" and click OK.
# Verify that the value has changed and now all new tabs will be blank.

Have to say that I rather agree with Mark..all we want is a simple, unadorned clean page that doe not track and show usage!! WHY NOT!! Is it too simple for developers..we aren't all (nor do we want to be!) software experts! Come on Mozilla..tidy up and clean up..it might be a quicker programme too!!

I bought an Air from someone and I cannot change the Apple ID in the apple store for the updates... even I am logged in for Itunes... PLEASE help..

Hi guys, finally I made it to the apple family by buying an Air from a guy I knew... But I cannot change the ID in the apple store for updates... I managed to change it in Itunes, but when I want to download the updates it would tell me that I should log in with the other account...
Please advise...
Thank you!!!

The OS and the preinstalled iLife apps are permanently assigned to the Apple ID of the original owner. You need to ask the original owner to call Apple Care and request that the Mac be released from his Apple ID.
The only secure way to use a second hand Mac is to erase the HDD and install a fresh version of OS X.
The only version of OS X that the original owner can pass to you is the version of OS X that came preinstalled on the Mac. The original owner cannot legally pass to you any apps that he bought in the MAS.
