I want to know how to merge 2 user accounts on my macbook pro

First of all, run software update. They should have done this in the Apple store, but who knows.
Secondly, go through all your 3rd party apps that are not from the App Store (if any). Visit the developer's websites to check for updates or use the apps' built in 'Updates' function (usually in the File or Help menu of the app).
Thirdly, remove everything from your login items here:
 > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
By 'remove' I mean highlight the apps in the list and click the - minus button underneath (do not check the 'Hide' box). This doesn't remove them from your computer - it just stops them running when your computer logs into your account.
After removing all, restart the computer and test to see if the problem remains.

It should be in Favorites.
If not, click on the desktop then go to Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar and tick Music.
Your Music folder is in Macintosh HD > Users > Your username.

GitongaKuria,
several people here use Crucial, OWC and Samsung SSDs. I have a Samsung 840 PRO SATA III SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and your 2009 model and my 2010 model both have SATA II interfaces — these brands of SATA III SSDs (at minimum) work well in MacBook Pros with SATA II interfaces. In the case of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, make sure that you visit the Samsung SSD firmware page to download and install its latest firmware.

How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?

Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.
chirag

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

How to merge two user accounts?

I have two user accounts I would like to merge into one. What would be the easiest way to go about doing this? I am mostly concerned about moving files, including preferences files, handling the mail accounts and browers bookmarks shouldn't be too troublesome for me.
Thanks

My favourite way to move files from Account A to Account B:
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

How do you Install programs to one user account on a macbook pro?

I want to download programs to my user account on my laptop without the other peoples accounts having access to it. How do you specify only to download to this account, or change the settings of past installed programs to only be accessible to my account and not the others

As Csound1 has already pointed out create a folder in your Home folder for only those applications that you want exclusive access to like this one in my Home folder:
For those application that have an installer, you'll need to install and then move the app from the Applications folder to your own app folder.

How do I delete all files from an old user account on my MacBook Pro?

I've already deleted the user and clicked "Delete Immediately" to remove the user account and all the user's files, but a lot of their files and applications still show up in my Finder (and take up tons of storage space). Is there a way to permanently delete all of the old stuff?

The applications are stored in a global folder to be used by everyone, so deleting a user doesn't delete the programs installed.
If you don't want to do it manually, you could backup what files you do want to keep off the machine and erase OS X and everything in it's entirety and then reinstall it with the programs you want then files last.

My user account on my MacBook Pro isn't giving me the option of 'edit picture'. How can I solve this problem?

So basically, I recently got a MacBook Pro, and the first thing I did when I got it, was set up my user account. However, I soon noticed that the only options for a user account icon were icons that my MacBook came with (flowers, footballs, piano etc.) or if I took a picture with my webcam. I know that I'm supposed to have an option of selecting a picture from my iPhoto library etc. but my mac isn't letting me do that. It's not giving me the option of 'edit picture' which I know directs you to your photo library.
<---- see, the 'edit' button doesn't highlight unless I click on a picture.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help.... thanks a lot!

You don't have to do it that way. All you need do is click on the image then click on this icon:
This is the Edit symbol, apparently.

I have NDS 4.16, and I have iMS 5.1 running on Sun, Solaris 8. I want to know how can I add users using the command line instead of the console. My problem is how to set the password to this user?

You can use ldapmodify found in <ServerRoot>/shared/bin
for example
./ldapmodify -h ldaphost -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -f <name of LDIF file>
Here's an example LDIF file
dn: uid=cms,ou=people,o=balius.com,o=Universe
changetype: add
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: inetUser
objectClass: ipUser
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
objectClass: nsManagedPerson
objectClass: userPresenceProfile
cn: Chad M. Stewart
sn: Stewart
initials: CMS
givenName: Chad
pabURI: ldap://host:389/ou=cms,ou=people,o=balius.com,o=Universe,o=pab
mail: [email protected]
mailDeliveryOption: mailbox
mailHost: my.mailhost.com
uid: cms
dataSource: Chad by hand
userPassword: users-password-here
inetUserStatus: active
mailUserStatus: active
mailQuota: -1
on a subsequent search you'd see something like
userpassword: {SHA}S3e+L/K6
