Backup your data off the machine to a external drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
Create another Admin account in System Preferences and log into it, delete your Admin Account and reboot.
Optional: Open Disk Utility and Erase Free Space (Zero good enough, 7x for military level, both take time)
This should be good enough to remove just your account and data without the hassle of reinstalling the OS and all new programs again.
However if you need that level, then c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot on Lion) and use Disk Utility there to Zero or 7x erase the OSX drive/partition, quit and reinstall OS X. Much more work that likely is unnecessary in your case.
Good Luck.

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.
You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address -

Siri does Not work on the iPad 2. iOS 7 is not even out yet, so we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to upgrade to it.

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

i just created a new apple id for my self and when i go to update an app it shows my moms email and she wont tell me her password how do i get my email to show up
You should have your stuff separate from your mom's. Delete all the apps downloaded or purchased with your mom's Apple ID and download or purchase them with your own Apple ID. Back up files and data first if possible.

You probably have Repeat turned on. While playing the song, tap the cover art to reveal the additional music controls (see photo below). Tap the Repeat control on the bottom left until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

My FaceTime doesn't work for some reason, and i want to know why. >;\ It's iOS 6.1.6
Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

I want to upgrade my macbook pro 15-inch i7 2.3GHz memory and I want to know what is the maximum RAM it could take
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like you have got an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so you can use 16 GB of RAM. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Remember that you cannot upgrade RAM in MacBooks Pro with Retina display
In case you have got a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, you can only install 8 GB of RAM -
I want to know what should do if the SPID : 12 Checkpoint is taking time.
Hi Team,
I want to know what should do if the SPID : 12 Checkpoint is taking time.
I can't kill it also.
ThanksIt was taking quite long therefore I have pasted here the comments and there was a activity for database restore was pending on that database due to which I have to restart the instance service.
If next time it will occur what should I do?
Nothing you cannot do anything reason being it is system process. I guess i said same thing in my comment before. Its just there because system is running checkpoint. I upfront cannot suggest what you should do but I have seen this on many prod databases and
it is normal. Dont restart SQL Server services if database is in middle of restore

good day actually i purchase second hand iphone from Swiss and we i try to open it in Egypt the phone showing it's locked as it was working in Swiss, so no one will help me like Apple it self just i want to know what is the way to fix this issue please?
You need to find out who the carrier was in Switzerland and see if they will unlock the device. The carrier with the lock is the only one that can authorize the unlock. You may need to check with the original owner and see if they can get it unlocked by the carrier if you do not qualify.

Yes, although your MBA does not have an HDD. It has an SSD. Just put the new SSD into a dock or enclosure, clone your drive to it, then install the new SSD into the MBP.
