I know this is sooo basic, but how do I change the owner name?

Sorry for such a basic question. I just bought this for my daughter and set it up and it has my name at the top toolbar and I want to change it to her name. Thanks.

The "Computer Name" is changed in Sharing preferences. The user's "Long Name" may be changed in Accounts preferences along with the account password. But changing the "Short Name" which is the username attached to the Home folder (/Users/username/) must be changed by following the instructions in this article: Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard.
The name displayed in the Finder's menu bar only appears if you have turned on Fast User Switching. You can disable this feature in the Accounts preferences - click on lock icon and authenticate, then click on the Login Options button. Uncheck the Fast User Switching option.

How do I change the owners name on my computer?

I purchased this computer in 2010 and later sold it. The person stopped making payments and I had to take it back. Now I need to remove the name/ information and replace it with my name/information. Can it be done and how do I do this? The other name does not show in the user accounts but every time I save something the name pops up and it drives me crazy. I know, its a "old computer" ... Thanks

There has to be a designated User account. What program is an example of the problem during a "save".
Options:
Simply do a complete Recovery and turn the system back to new out of the box.
Create a new user (you). The delete the previous user account.
I am a volunteer. I am not an HP employee.
To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. You can render both Solution and KUDO.
The Law of Effect states that positive reinforcement increases the probability of a behavior being repeated. (B.F.Skinner). You toss me KUDO and/or Solution, and I perform better.

Bought a used nano. how do i change the owners name?

please help me. i have a used ipod nano and wish to change the name of the devise to mine. how can i do this?

Hi,
Changing the name is quite simple.
Connect your iPod to your mac and then open itunes ( if using windows download itunes)
Once the ipod is detected in itunes simply double click the ipod's name and change it to whatever you want.

Hi, sorry this is so basic, but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

sorry this is so basic but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

Is this for a computer model or an iDevice model? If the former you've posted in the wrong forum. But here's the answer.
Open General preferences in System Preferences. There are two options you can check that affect this behavior:
Check the boxes you thing you prefer. When you next shutdown the computer you should be asked in a dialog about reopening applications on restart. Select the option to not reopen.

EyeConnect says my Samsung 40D8000 'can access this computer' ... but how to I get the TV to access the Mac?

EyeConnect says my Samsung 40D8000 'can access this computer' ... but how to I get the TV to access the Mac?
All I want to do is to have the new TV connect to iPhoto, and if possible, iTunes, on the Mac and although there are plenty of forums discussing problems (such as FF and RW not working) all I want to do is basically CONNECT!
The Samsung AllShare tool is not seeing the Mac, the Mac is 'seeing' the TV in the EyeConnect setting box (but not in Finder).
Please help me to get these two guys talking!!!

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

HT1918 Changed Apple ID on Mac, but how do I change the ID on iPhone and iPad

I changed my Apple ID on my Mac through iTunes, but how do I change the Apple ID on my iphone and ipad? I have done a sync with the ipad, since the change and nothing changed. Thanks.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

How can I change the brand name appearing on volume mixer?

I tried changing the brand name of Mozilla Firefox. It changed the brand name which appears on the browser but it didn't changed the brand name appearing on volume mixer. So how can change that one too?

then the signature will obviously be broken - i don't really know what backlash this will have, but it's definitely not worth the hassle (possibly windows giving error messages, anti-virus programs might report it as some threat and there might be problems with the firefox update mechanism, not to mention you'd have to repeat the procedure after every new update).

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 can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

Hi
I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
<ROWSETA>
<ROWA num="1">
<A1></A1>
<A2></A2>
<A3>
<A3_ROW num="1">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
<A3_ROW num="2">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
</A3>
</ROWA>
</ROWSETA>
How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
Thanks in advance!
null

In short, you can't.
You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

How can I change the OWNER of a table?

How can I change the OWNER of a table entr2009mm ?
Resp. the OWNER of all TABLES whose tablename match the pattern *2009* ?
Peter

Hello,
There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
