Mac back from service- Home folder as "Admin" would like to change

Hi,
I have searched the topic, but have not been able to solve it with solutions provided. I have my PBback form servbice, new hardrive, no data on drive, everything new...have Home folder named as Administrator and would like to rename it...when I follow instruction on these discussion or Help in Mac, it reverts back to Admin name, when I restart.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Magz

Try right clicking the folder. Then choose *Get Info*. At the bottom choose Details under *Ownership & Permissions:*. Change the permissions to *Read & Write*. This should allow you to move things.

    System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Items - remove any that you don't want on startup.
    Don't forget also that Lion will automatically restart any apps you had open when you shut down, unless you untick the "Reopen windows when logging back in" tickbox that appears.

  • Hi, i have a iMac PC it has a letter box home page and i would like to change it to a full screen, HELP pleasell

    Hi, my name is Cathy Pack and i am in a pickle, i have an i-Mac OS X version10.5.8, 1.25ghz power G4, every thing is fine except for my home screen it is in letterbox forme and i would like to put it in full screen, the screen is long and narrow instead of short and wide,  Please HELP,  Cathy Pack

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.  Take the resolution ratios and use a 16x9 ratio to avoid the letterboxing if you have a 17" diagonal display.   Take the 4:3 ratios if you have a 15" diagonal screen.

  • Backing up my Home Folder

    I just got a 500 GB Western Digital USB 2.0 Hard drive.
    I have a MacBook with 10.4.9.
    I want to back up my home folder, so I dragged the entire folder to the hard drive. It copies the first few gigs with no problem, but then an error occurs..Finder error -36. It says bad file or something, says the name, and cancels the data copying. So I delete that file, delete the home folder on the new hard drive, and start all over by dragging the folder again.
    Then, there is another file that is corrupted or whatever, same error, and it cancels transferring.
    What's the best way to back up my home folder? I don't have a .Mac account and the backup program's trial version limits it to 100 MBs.
    What should I do?? Thanks!

    I encounter no issues dragging and dropping my Home folder on an external disk? Never have. Just cpoied again for giggles & laughs.
    It completed fine but I was not fast enough to capture it

    I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Back from service, case doesn't seem right

    I just got my macbook pro back from service, maybe a week or two ago. Since its been back I've noticed the case really doesn't seem like its fitting together right. I've got gaps between various pieces of the case and have parts that don't really fit flush anymore. It wasn't like this when I sent it out
    If I call apple do you think they'll fix it? They could easily just ignore it and blame it on me, but it definitely wasn't like this when I sent it off, and the more I look at it the more it really seems put together wrong.

    I'm guessing that there is a gap on the front of the machine where the bottom case fits with the top case (the part with the keyboard & trackpad).
    Once the unit is popped open, it doesn't close quite like it did when it was first assembled. That's because there are 4 clips that are on the front inside lip that get slightly worn when the machine is popped open. I'm also guessing that there is a glue of somesort that is run lightly around the seams to ensure flush enclosure.
    There are stories that even without servicing that these gaps form after time.
    If you go and demand that apple fix it, they will. They will have to replace the top and bottom case. This fix could take quite a bit longer as it would need to be sent out to the depot. All of the innerds need to come out to replace the bottom case. But...they'll do it if you demand it.

  • Bad XML from external web service and would like to change the content

    I am getting a bad XML(not valid) from external web service and I would like to change the content of the body in OSB proxy service to make it valid.
    For example
    <g:Information xsi:schemaLocation="http:// bad schema" xmlns:g="http://abc.com/t.xsd">
    <test>Test Data</test>
    </g:Information>
    should become
    <g:Information xmlns:g="http://abc.com/t.xsd">
    <test>Test Data</test>
    </g:Information>
    Do you how can I do this?

    I don't think it would be the best solution but you may try -
    1. Conver the incoming XML to string using fn-bea:serialize() function
    2. Replace the not-required content with a blank
    3. Covert the string back to XML using fn-bea:inlinedXML
    If you find any other solution, please let us know.

  • I have moved from the UK to Canada and would like to pay for subscriptions in Canadian dollars rather than sterling pounds. Also I would like to take up the offer that I have purchase CS packages in my account. How do I go about this?

    I have moved from the UK to Canada and would like to pay for subscriptions in Canadian dollars rather than sterling pounds. Also I would like to take up Creative Cloud subscription offer because I qualified as a prior purchaser of CS packages.
    How do I go about this?

    I did that - nothing happen... I have changed my adobe ID and all address to my Canada home.
    Having log myself out and re-log back in to start the Creative Cloud subscription. The payment still shows in Sterling Pounds.
    This is difficult as I am no longer earning Sterling pounds as a wage and the subscription would automatically be doubled payment, because Canadian $ is less in currency exchange to the UK Sterling Pound.
    Thanks for your above suggestions, but what should I do now, to resolved this issue.
    Regards

    Is there anyway of creatiing a different name for this Folder rather than 2013?
    If you are using one of Lightroom's "date-based" folder templates, then the folders are created in accordance with the image capture date, not the date that you happen to import it. If you specifically want to use the import date for your folder names then you probably don't want to use the Lightroom date template, and instead you'll need to setup your folder names manually.
    The vast majority of users that use date-based folder naming schemes will use a standard Lightroom template, i.e. based on the much more meaningful image capture date.

    I recently purchased a used imac with os 10.6 The problem I am having the admin in accounts in system preferences I would like to change so I can download some items I have tried different things  to do this but I cannot figure it out. thanks in advance.

    Thats the problem I bought it from a very large thrift store. i went back asked the person where I bought the computer he said we can not give you the password. I thought buying it there was a good idea because not only was it a nice deal but it was like I was maknig a donation. I know that i messed up because i do not have the installation disk. I bought it without thinking. Until recently I was still using an old G4 9.0 os. I guess you can say I have been out of the loop for a while.
