Install updates but leave "setup screen" there for new user

Ok, so I sold my Macbook Pro. I want to install OS X, update it, and then still have it open to the setup screen when the new buyer gets it.
I know this can be done, but don't know how. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
this thread should help.

Follow macjacks post to reset it, once the updates have been done.

HT204266 I'm trying to install updates but the auto screen prompting me to insert password won't let me change my apple ID which I recently changed. So the password isn't matching the new ID. How do I change the ID that automatically pops up?

How do I change the auto ID prompt when the window pops up for my password when I try to install App updates? I've changed my ID but the old ID is embedded in the password prompt and I can't work out where to change it. So I'm unable to install any of my App updates.

Did you go to Settings>Store>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out. Sign in with your new ID. If you changed the name associated with the ID this should work If you created an entirely new ID, you have to use the old ID and password to update the apps since they will always be tied to that ID and password,

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Updates do not normally require any kind of password access. It is more likely your machine's security is asking for you to allow things to be updated.

Your phone is in recovery mode. All your data are already gone.

Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?

Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?
I check my Apps on my MacBook and it says there is 1 update but when I check that there are none.
Then I sync my iPhone with my MacBook and my iPhone says there are 7 updates for my Apps.
This is very confusing. I wish someone could fix this and make it simple and accurate to use.

Sometimes the update notification comes on but updates themselves do not appear if the iOS is not appropriate for the update. For example, I have an original iPad, thus limited to iOS 5.1.1, but an app I use has an update that requires iOS 6.1.3. So I have a consistent update notification but cannot get the update. So, check your iOS and see if it is up to date.

Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

Is GB 9.0.4 update today at App Store needed for all users, or just for Lion? Will it be in Software Update or is it paid update only? Please clarify

I sure hope you are correct, Christoph. Seems one Mac site has questioned this also:

No iWeb updates either way so far. Not that I use it, just an observation.

GPO not working for new Users (Background)

Terminal Server 2012 in a hosted environment
I've set the below policy to set a default background wich can be changed by the users after this.
The target is an networkdrive. (The Reason behind this is that we have multiple resellers that all have the same networkdrive but pointing to a different store) Lets just say for this example that is P:/Background/ResellerBackground.jpg
The policy is Linked to the Resellers OU.
This works perfectly for all the existing users.
For new users this is not working at all. It does run the policy but it create the profile after running the policies.
So the above setting gets overruled by the default windows server 2012 background. The RunOnce atribute is set now, so it will not load it again.
I have read a lot of different sollutions so far, but none are working in this environment. (From changing the default Hive to changing the default picture etc)
One sollution came close, but not working perfectly either, this is removing the RunOnce atribute from the register, and letting the new users log in again. You do not wanna let new users login twice.
Before Windows 7/8/2012, in XP it just copied the default user and then the policies ran. So here the problem does not exist. Now it makes the profile after running the policies.
Anyone having an idea to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Before going further, what’s the value in the wallpaper registry entry
value data for new users?
>>One sollution came close, but not working perfectly either, this is removing the RunOnce atribute from the register, and letting the new users log in again. You
do not wanna let new users login twice.
If we choose this solution, we can try running cmd command
gpupdate/force to see whether it can work.
Another workaround is we can do it from scratch. We can create a new GPO to deploy wallpaper for these new users. The steps are the same as previous ones, just using
Security Filtering to apply this new GPO to new users, and unlinking and deleting the GPO after the policy getting updated.
Best regards,

I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/"
