My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

I have 5 computers authorized on my account and I would like to deauthorize all of them. When I try it tells me I cannot do so until January 2016. Is there a way around this? I no longer have access to the computers that are authorized.
Did you recently deauthorize a bunch of computers? You can only deauthorize all once year.

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary. I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

Is there a way to work with AutoCAD files in Illustrator without saving the autoCAD file back to a 2007 .dxf file format?
Different versions of Illustrator can import different versions of DXF.
Maybe there's a plugin by hotdoor that might enable you to import the latest version of the file format. -

Is there any way to completely wipe my hard drive clean without losing the basic operating system
is there any way to completely wipe my hard drive clean without losing my operating system
Stellar Wipe Mac is a wiping software that wiper a hard drive beyond the scope of recovery. You can select from the software which drive to wipe leaving the OS X intact. Else, if the drive is a single partition then no software will be able to wipe without wiping the OS X. So be careful.

I am in high school and I made my Apple ID account at least 3 years ago in middle school and I used my school email as the recovery email. I have forgotten the correct response to my security questions and I no longer have access to my old school email and I was wondering if there was a way to change that email now. I have changed the "Alternate Apple ID" email to one that I do have access to, but it didn't change the recovery email. I was wondering if there is a way to change that one so I can access iTunes on other devices.
The rescue email address and alternate email addresses are different settings/addresses on an account, you won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to update your rescue email address for potential future use -
I put music from my friends computer and my setting had already been to dont juat use one computer and when i con ected it to my computer it didnt let me it said it would have to delete the music i already have one there is there a way i can change that without deleting my music thats already on there
No. iTunes will first erase everything from another computer. It is designed to work that way.

We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
is this possible?Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I just have a procedure in which i do have a dynamic query.It has certain parameter on the basis of which different set of columns will be returned in the result set. Now I want a SSRS report which can automatically pick up the columns from the Procedure
result.without declaring column Names at Design Time(As i don't know which columns will come in the result set)
PS:- I can't make separate matrix/table with their respective column names and show/hide them as I don't know which columns will come from procedure.
Thanks
KanwarCan you please give a reference.I want a matrix or table to display the result set as is returned from the procedure.(Lets just say you keep the columns fixed).How without writing the column Names in table/matrix it automatically generates
the columns similar to resultset.
A bit of background for Understanding scenario:
We want to give users the column names, arithmetic operators,etc.(From UI) and then send the query to SSRS. This query will be sent to SQL procedure(which is being used in RDL).What after that ??? . SSRS is not changing the result set dynamically.So as the
result set is not definite i want table/matrix to populate the data returned from procedure automatically (without defining columns at design - time).
Thanks

Is there a way to get into my locked/disabled ipod without deleting the date on it?
My iPod has been locked for a couple of years, I didn't even know that could happen. I need to get the pictures off of the device, but I don't want to erase the data off of it since it hasn't been backed up. Is there a way I can do that?
No by you may be able to get some info off the restored iPod (since you do not have iOS 8) by:

I want to put movie on my ipod that I bought specifically with a digital copy but it says that they cannot be copied to my device. I don't know why.
"She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
She is wrong.
Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place. It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy. -
I also have trouble with a meter showing how close I am to opening. I notice the circle a the top but it doesn't do me much good when trying to analyze how close I am to opening the file.
You can check the startup setting:
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
If that didn't help then there may be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js to prevent Firefox from restoring a previous session.
