I want to get rid of my guest user account. It will not let me delete it from the user

I did not have the guest user account available and then after I changed some of my setting for my mail, I noticed that when I logged back in the guest user icon was present.  I do not want to have this guest user account on my log in screen.  I tried to delete it from my system preferences but all it does is disable the guest user but the icon still appears. I need some help!

Thanks to Brad Caldwell for the questions and screenshot via Twitter, you can follow us there too.
How to disable that “Guest User” from appearing at the OS X 10.7.2 login screen
Open System Preferences
Click on “Security & Privacy”
Click the lock in the lower corner and type in your administrative password to unlock the control panel
Check the box next to “Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked”
This prevents the Guest User account from being visible at the login screen both during reboot and at the login screen. Again, it’s highly recommended to keep this enabled for security purposes, but if your Mac is locked down with a security cable or you don’t have any use for Find My Mac, you could disable this and not feel too bad about it.

  • I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to get rid of a small clip but it's not letting me do that.

    I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to delete a small highlighted clip and it won't let me no matter what I do! Rosemary

    First off....do NOT install MacKeeper!  It creates more problems than it prevents, and is a royal pain to get rid of once you realize this.
    What I would do, since it sounds like you don't want to reorganize your email filing by the use of Smart Mailboxes, is to simply use the search box at the top of the Mail window to find only the emails you want to delete....then select them all and delete them.  For example, if you wanted to delete all of the emails from [email protected], you would type that into your search box, which will filter your inbox to only show you emails from [email protected]  Then Select All, and delete them.  You haven't deleted any others....only those from that person.
    Then clear the search box to see the rest of your emails again. 
    Repeat this process to delete emails from other senders you no longer need.
    (Once you've selected them all, by the way, you can control-click one if you need to save it).

  • HT1212 my phone screen is broken and I bought a new phone but I want to get everything off my old phone. It will not sync to i tunes because it has a passlock on it. Is there any way to get passed this?

    My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?

    If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

  • I had to get a new account on my iPhone due to some problems and now with my new account it will not let me download the same apps

    I have an Iphone 5 and i had all the apps on there that I wanted but then had to create a new account for the phone. I cant do the updates becuase of not having the same account I downloaded them on. So when I try to delete them and then get them again it says that it was already downloaded to this device and that I need to do it through my old account when that one is deleted.

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • My new ios 7 in my iphone 4 will not let me download music from my apple computer. It says it doesn't have updated itunes. But when I try to get updated itunes, my computer will not support it. WHY

    My new update on my ipone 4, will not download music from my Mac computer. It says I must update my itunes, when I try to up date on the Mac, it says it has already downloaded the lastest version. How do I get music on my phone

    Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

  • HT4528 How do i delete unwanted pictures from my itunes account? my iphone will not let me delete them on there and i cannot find an option on itunes to get them off of my phone

    How do I delete pictures from my itunes account.  I have blank pictures that transfered from a different device and it doesnt give me an option of my phone to delete them.

    There are no pictures on your itunes account.
    Do you mean pics that are on your iphone?
    Delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, go to photo tab, select what you want, sync.

  • Cannot reinstall windows 10 Technical preview after getting grey screen at start after refresh. Will not let format drive or install....

    I have an Acer 6320 UR-318 Which I had Win 10 loaded on. It came with a 128 GB SSD and 2 TB hard drive. I formatted my 2 TB hard drive and refreshed my system and now all I have is a grey screen and am unable to get to the BIOS. I turned off fast and secure
    boot and even tried to set it up to be able to boot from the DVD drive but to no avail. Now I can't get into the BIOS as I'm unsure what other function key or combo may work to let me in or if there is a way besides taking my machine apart to get it to where
    I can load some kind of system or reformat and reload. If I hit Cntrl+Alt+Del while on grey screen I do get the network signal icon and the ease of use icon in the lower right corner and I have the network icon and the ease of use icon. I can hear
    the narrator and even pull up the keyboard just screen is still grey and nothing else is there! Can someone please help? 

    Hi Lunawolf1313,
    Could you see the power icon on the screen after you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
    If yes, you may press Shift and hold it , then click the power button and select restart.
    That will allow you to boot into Windows Recovery Environments, you may choose to refresh your PC there.
    For more information regarding Windows Recovery Environment, you may check:
    Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) Overview
    If refresh fails, try to boot into safe mode, then add a new Admin account there, after that, boot in Windows using the newly created acount.

  • I cannot get onto my iCloud to manage my storage, it will not let me access iCloud from my system preferences

    I am trying to get onto my iCloud account to renew my storage for the year, but I cannot access it.  When I go to System Preferences and click MobileMe, I get an error message that says I cannot connect to the server.  Is there another way to change my storage plan?
    Thanks!

    You can only pay to continue your free extra storage from System Preferences on a compliant Mac or from Settings on an iOS5/6 device. If you cannot access either of these then I'm afraid your choices are to go to http://icloud.com and delete as much data as possible to bring yourself below 5GB (assuming you are indeed over it) or to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion - you have less than a day to do this, which doesn't make it an advisable course of action.
    If you decide to upgrade, what you can do depends on your Mac's specifications. If you are on Leopard you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first (Intel Mac required).
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
