Here are the instructions from Apple on changing the user short name or home directory name. I've used this on a couple of used MacBooks I've bought on eBay.

No. Damage caused by the user is not covered by warranty. A replacement iPad mini is $219 for the 1st generation, or $249 for the iPad mini with Retina display. -

Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed. How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone? Thanks in advance.
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer -
I downloaded an upgrade to my adobe reader today, and ever since my search engine has switched to yahoo and wont change back to google. I have a macbook pro, help please? Does anyone know how I can change this back? I have tried through my settings but it doesnt work
Hi Timia,
If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
Open Google Chrome.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?

I just downloaded OS X Mavericks and my texts are not coming through to my Mac at all. How do i change that??
Open Messages. Then go to the Menu and click on Messages. In the drop down select Preferences. Choose the accounts tab. If you have already added your iCloud account then remove it and add it again.

I recently inherited a power mac from my dad how do i change admin passwords and such so I can use it?
And if you can't log into the machine at all, you'll need:
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.
You'll need a system recovery or Mac OS X install disc. Don't drop your Dad's user account, though. If he's got any serialized software, it may not function for all users on the machine, and you may need to go back to his account. -

No.
Other that large is corrupt data. To fix, you'll have to restore the phone. You can first try restoring from backup, followed by syncing your content back to the phone. This sometimes fixes the issue, but if it doesn't, you'll have to follow the instructions here to restore as a new device:

I do not recall a "finder" icon on any of my Mac computers, or on the iPad either. Where do you see it? What is its lable? What version of the operating system are you using?

In my Finder, under 'places', how do i change the name of my computer?
picture of the little home.below Applications. how do i change that name.
Or, under Macintosh HD,Users,(names).. how do i change these names?Short answer: very carefully. In unix lingo, that is the "short" name. If you are running OS X 10.5, go to System Preferences, Accounts and click your account name while holding down the Control key to reveal "Advanced Options". Change the Short Name there.
One word of advice, the warning at the top of the dialog box needs to be taken seriously. You can completely hose your system! Make a backup first! -
Does any know how i can change my email address on my iphone to match the new email on my itunes
I have recently changes email address with my itunes and now my iphones itunes does not work correctly. Does anybody know how to sinc this correctly? Thanks
What does " my iphones itunes does not work correctly" mean?
In what way?
You changed the e-mail address associated with your itunes user id? this should have no effect on your iphone. it will simply change the e-mail address to which any correspondence from the itunes store is sent. -
HT201240 my mac password is short how can I change it?
My iphone or iPad kept on saying your mac pass word is short when I try to share internet. How can I change that?
I don't think it's your Mac password that's short, it's your WiFi password.
