Need to delete unwanted shared user

Tonight I found a shared user who doesn't belong on my computer. When I select it, the option to delete it (drag it to the trash) is grayed out. How do I get rid of this?

What do you mean by "Shared User?"
Do you mean the folder called Shared in the /Users folder? If so, this it not a user...but nothing more than a folder that allows shared access between all other users on the computer.

Unwanted shared user

Today, and once before, I have another user showing up under SHARED when I open the Macintosh HD icon. I don't have any shared users with my mac, and don't know who's computer is showing up. I went to System Preferences and do not have anything turned on in the Sharing section. Is this happening because I access internet via wifi? How can I keep unwanted users off my mac?

you have it all backwards. it's not other computers accessing your mac. it's you accessing theirs. what you see in the sidebar are other computers on the same local network as you that have sharing enabled and advertise their presence via bonjour. if you don't have sharing enabled they won't see your computer or have access to it. but you can click on that computer in your sidebar and see what they are letting you access on their computer.

Ok. I need to delete this shared computer that is in my finder. I just need a way to delete it. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can?

This computer has been sitting on my finder for EVER. It's my friends computer, but I really need to delete it. Can you PLEASE help me?

If you right-click next to the "+" (new tab) button, or in a blank space after the address bar, you can choose:
Menu Bar (turn on)
Tabs on top (turn off)
Does that get you where you want to be? If not, please be more specific about what's missing.

Hi,
Use following code to delete the column from ALV.
Here we are using config. model of ALV to delete the column.
DATA lo_interfacecontroller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table .
lo_interfacecontroller =   wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
DATA lv_value TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
lv_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model(
CALL METHOD lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~delete_column
EXPORTING
    id     = 'CARRID'
Instead of carrid you can pass your cotext_attribute which needs to be deleted.
Thanks,
Rahul

Mozilla quits when I login to Yahoo Mail. I read on a forum that I need to delete npYstate.dll from Yahoo/Shared directory. This .dll is not available in that folder on my system. Strange???

I read in one of the forums that I need to delete the npYstate.dll file from the Yahoo/Shared directory but this file is not available in this directory on my system. Mozilla still continues to quit when I log in to Yahoo mail.......

Yup, it just copies all the information on that page to your Windows clipboard, for you to paste anywhere (email, text file, etc.).

But remember it is always up to the customer to insure what they are getting and what it costs. Don't trust the word of a sales person who makes their living on getting that sale. Lies, deceit or false promises will be and have been used by sales people for thousands of years.

HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers. I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore. Does anyone know how to do this?

The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage. They are only stored in the App store. The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again. If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

Tried to use home sharing to transfer itunes library from old pc to new -- however it only brings over the music, did not bring audiobooks- My question is do I need to delete itunes from my new pc when I redo using external hard drive

Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1. Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc - so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?

You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

User needs to delete a line item from old STO

Hi all,
User needs to delete a line item from old stock transfer order and would like to be advised what he needs to do to delete the line item from the STO.
On the STO, Goods Issue done and reversed also. Delivery completed indicator not checked. I aslo found that the payment has been made for the line item 40 for Freight. Carrier charges. It seems that the payment has been made/cleared to the vendor. I think Due to this reason they are unable to remove this line item from STO. They have attempted to delete or block an item that is not yet closed. All down (advance) payments made to date have been taken into account.
Can you please advice how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance..
Regards
Suresh

Hi,
Delivery completed tick is also there for STO PO. If you are not getting it then check settings. Also you can mark deletion indicator for that line item. Or minimise quantity to goods received quantity.
For STO if delivery is made from delivering plant but Goods receipt not done in receiving plant then that material remains in transit. Can viewed with ME5t. In this case that line item cannot be delted or delivery completed.
Still your client wants to complete these type also better to leave decision to business if they want to reverse delivery (Stock of issuing plant will increase) or make Gr ( Stock of receiving plant will increase) Although they can adjust later with physical inventry process and make stock in system to real physical stock

Need Script/Excel Macro for Deletion of Bulk users from Enterprise BO 3.1

Hello All,
I am planning to delete the Bulk Users (2500) from environment, I need a script or Excel Macro to perform it in my environment.
Please someone provide the JSP script or Excel Macro to perform the activity. Thank you so much in advance.

You should have the list of inactive users.Right?
It will always read the usernames from the txt file which will be entered by you and delete those user accounts.
You would need to save the attached sample as .jsp and can place it inside InfoViewApp application.
Also it would be best to test the code in a DEV/TEST environment before you actually try to touch your prod systems.
Try for few user accounts first and check the status.
Also it would be apt to take a back of your CMS DB before you run any script so that you can rollback to a save point.
Thanks,

I need to delete my user account

i need to delete my user account

If you mean your iTunes account then you can't currently delete them, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you downloaded or bought with it will remain tied to it, so if you ever want to re-download it or authorise it on a new computer then you will need to remember its id and password

I don't have a user acount password but need to delete it. How can I handle this?

You can't delete something that does not exist.

Damaged SSD, need to delete user folder - permission denied

Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I have installed SL onto my Kingston ssdnow v100 128GB solid-state drive (SSD) and used it as my primary OS drive along side of optibay in my first generation Macbook Pro Core Duo 2.0.
It has been funcioning perfectly until 2 months ago: my laptop would idel at the grey startup screen after a cold start with the progress indicator (circular) running indefinetly. The system files were being loaded but the process never completes. I reinstalled SL fresh a few times, all successfully, but the problem would return the next morning when switched on from cold. Traditional SATA drive was used and did not cause this problem.
I have decided that it was a SSD failure and have arranged it to be sent back to the seller.
SO here is the PROBLEM:
I wish to delete only the USER FOLDER while preserving system files on the SSD drive, so that when the seller tests it he is able to pick up the problem. If I format the entire drive, the seller may not pick up the fault as the drive would install OS fine and appear functional.
So I connected the SSD drive via USB to my other MBP, the Finder pops up and tells me that the SSD drive can not be repaired but can be READ to recover my files. I then try to drag my USER FOLDER to trash but a Finder message pops up and say: It can not be deleted. The info window showed that all listed users are greyed out and clicking on the permission (read & write & read and write) did not bring up any options, just as if you can not click it. I have unlocked the info window to allow changes using admin password.
Is there anyway (maybe via Terminal.app) that I can override file permission and allow me to delete this USER FOLDER that is on the SSD drive?
Thank you for answering.

Hi there! Welcome to the Apple comminity.
In Terminal, this is how you override something: Add "sudo " before your command. Here's an example:
sudo rm -Rf /Volumes/SSDdrive/Users/*
It will then prompt you for a password (if you are an administrator on your computer). Good luck!
Cheers.

Unwanted 'Shared Folders'

This is what I'm seeing inside /usr/bin/cyrus/admin/:
Other Users/imapUser1
Other Users/imapUser2
Other Users/imapUser##, etc
Shared Folders/._-akstcmydomainmnsdgs (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Deleted Messages (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Drafts (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Sent Messages (\HasNoChildren)
I found a thread from '06 where someone discovered that the problem happens when a group name is the same as a user name. When he changed the short group name, the problem went away. Sure enough, I realized I did have a group name with the same short name as an (admin) user. However when I changed the short group name and restarted mail service, these unwanted shared folders did not go away.
On a possibly related note, I have also found the same stuff inside /var/spool/imap:
/var/spool/imap/^_-akstcmydomainmnsdgs
/var/spool/imap/Deleted Messages
/var/spool/imap/Drafts
/var/spool/imap/Junk E-mail
/var/spool/imap/Sent Messages
/var/spool/imap/user/user1
/var/spool/imap/user/user2
/var/spool/imap/user/user3

My imap users are seeing these shared folders in their mailbox, and I don't want them to. I cannot delete these shared folders using an email client. What is the best way to delete them? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

ok pterobyte heres the log entries and the header part of messages causing the problem. At the moment the reason the 2 shared boxes are showing up repeatedly is cause there in my queue so qmgr is trying to send them, it creates the error in the log and bingo the shared box appears. The mail DID NOT come from in house as the header snippets will show. (i pulled both raw email files from the /var/spool/postfix/deferred/ to examine) It appears and I'm only guessing cause I'm no expert but someone from the outside is trying to relay a virus/spam through my smtp with some sort of back door in the coding of the from header. Both e-mails in the queue look like spam and have a MIME attach that looks virus like.
