New, Wrong User On Start Up. How to Change?

I recently did a clean install of Yosemite on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro.  I used migration assistant and a super duper clone of my pervious set up.
I created a new user in the Yosemite setup. This is now primary and is an automatic boot option on start up (with the new load bar).  I have to log out out of this user to log back in to my old name where all my stuff is.  I don't need this new user.
How do I make my old user the primary and sole admin for the machine and boot up?
Thanks

See migration assistant
I had the same problem, although I migrated from the original boot disk conected externally via USB
By disabling Filevault all accounts now show on the first startup. I Understand that the account created for installation could be deleted now and Filevault enabled again if desired, but I will leave everything 'as is' for a while until I'm totally sure everything is ok and I have a good new backup

    I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

    On my previous Mac (long, sad story) I had Office for Mac and liked it a lot.  I was collaberating on some fairly complex legal documents, and never noticed any compatibility problems with Windows Office.  That said, it is expensive.  For most documents, I simply open the Word document in Pages and export it to Word when I am finished.  I sometimes get the message that there is a missing font, but the computer uses a substitute that is quite acceptable.  I have never had someone say that they had difficulty with a document I exported to Word.
    Numbers and Excel aren't as compatible in my experience, and I have gotten some surprises when I hadn't tweaked the settings properly when exporting to Excel.
    The other component of iWork is Keynote, and I like it much better than Powerpoint; to me it is just easier to use. I have never tried converting back and forth between Keynote and Powerpoint.
    Depending on what grade your kids are in and what they are doing, I think I would start off with iWork and see what, if any, problems they encounter.  Of course, if they are going to use the computer for a class in Office or its components, your kids are going to need a Windows machine with Windows Office, because Office for Mac is enough different that when the teacher says, "Now, move your mouse here and click on....", your kids are going to be lost.
    Hope this is useful.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

    You won't be able to change it 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 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use.

    Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

  • New iMac user.... how do you delete a downloaded program

    I downloaded Firefox for my computer because i couldn't get my financial software from Ameritrade to work on safari. However, their tech support helped me get it working with Safari and so I want to delete FireFox.
    I don't know how. I'm not sure if it came with its own uninstaller... and if it did I don't know how to find it... (no start button to find the program).
    Also I have a downloads folder... it has some spreadsheets for excel in it I no longer need, how do I delete them? (I tried dragging them to the trash but that didn't work)
    Thanks!!
    Susan

    Historically I've used spotlight to find any related files(preferences, etc). They can be deleted from there.
    If you try it make sure to look at the search criteria and include system files.
    The new spotlight is quite a bit different and I'm not sure it's not very straight forward.
    There are a couple of third party apps that are supposed to monitor and "uninstall".
    Never used on though.

  • HT204074 Used the wrong account for iCloud. How to Change it

    I just got an ipad, and I used the wrong account for iCloud. When I try to change it in settings it is greyed out.  How do I change I cloud so I can use this for work? 
    Never mind, I fixed it. I deleted the account, and put the new one in. Just a new interface.

  • TS2621 I have an e-mail set up on mt desk top and I-pad. Recently I had to change the password on my desktop. The next time I tried to open my I-pad e-mail it said I had the wrong user name or password. I changed the password to match the one on my dt, sa

    I keep getting error message on my I-Pad e-mail, user name or password incorrect. I reset the password with a new one and it says same thing. I have same e-mail on desktop. Same password. Any ideas?

    If you can't send mail, but can receive it  - Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • ICloud and Outlook 2013 - Wrong calendar is being synced, how to change?

    Hi all,
    I have iCloud installed and running Outlook 2013 on my Windows 8 computer and I'm having an issue with syncing calendars.  I've looked all through the discussions and haven't seen an answer for my issue so hopefully someone can assist.
    iCloud is installed correctly and under the iCloud section in Outlook, there is a calendar and it does sync with my iPhone 5 but it's the wrong calendar.  It's not the main calendar that is up in my list of folders for my email account.  I can't find a place to tell iCloud which calendar to sync with so I'm not sure how to go about getting the correct calendar - or both if need be - syncing with my phone.
    Thanks in advance!

    iCloud was built to provide a synchronization option and is claimed to work with Outlook.  Unfortunately it has a basic flaw that makes it almost unuseable by anyone that receives invitations via email, therefore it doesn't do what is claimed.
    I'm sure it works great with the other Apple products. And maybe Apple doesn't care to worry about Microsoft, assuming that people will blame MS for this failing and buy a Mac.  That is a shame because, like it or not, Microsoft is still the 800lb gorilla in terms of office products.
    Unfortunately you have entirely misunderstood iCloud, it is NOT a sync service, it is a subscription account that you can subscribe to with Outlook (amongst others). It does not sync your local calendar, instead you use the iCloud calendar.
    It is Microsoft who chose this behaviour, not Apple (although this problem does not exist with Outlook for Mac), Microsoft chose to make that entirely incompatible with iCloud calendars and contacts, thus avoiding the issue

  • User Exit: AFAR0002. How to change value in field: ANLC - NAFAP?

    Hi,
    At the moment I am working on custom Depreciation Key for which the depreciation for period (and subperiods) will be recounted and taken into account for depreciation posting.
    I try to use exit AFAR0002 for this purpose.
    I am able to count and change the value of depreciation for each subperiods. The problem is, that I cannot change the value of "Ordinary depreciation that is planned for the asset in the current fiscal year" for the pierod '000'. Due to this, in the last period of the current fiscal year system tries to reverse the sum of planned depreciation in previous subperiods. It simply tries to meet the "planned depreciation for fiscal year' with the sum of planned depreciation for subperiods.
    example:
    ANLC-NAFAP = 100.
    Active Asset value = 1000
    Depreciation for periods:
    001     ->     -50
    002     ->     -50
    003     ->     -50
    004     ->     -50
    005     ->     -50
    006     ->     -50
    007     ->     -50
    008     ->     -50
    009     ->     -50
    010     ->     -50
    011     ->     -50
    *012     ->     450
    planned value -> -100
    The questions are:
    1. is it possible to change value in ANLC-NAFAP in this exit
    2. How it sould be done.
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Regards,
    Wojciech

    Dear Paul,
    I had run AFAR. The report changed to '0' the value of ANLC-NAFAP  field - sth changed - thanks.
    But I still have a problem to set this value to the sum of planned depreciation for each month. At the moment, in the last period the system tries to reverse all planned "sub"depreciation to '0' in total.
    Is it any additional condition that has to be fulfilled in order to change the value of "Ordinary depreciation that is planned for the asset in the current fiscal year" for the pierod '000'?
    Regards,
    Wojciech

  • HT4597 my mobile me mail won't start up, how to change it to iCloud and to keep it running?

    My MobileMe mail was perfect, it sended mails and received them. suddenly since yesterday it wont come up, the warning sign is on an it says that there is a problem with mobileMe! what can I do? I definitely need the mail, and I've another problem also. when i go to the iCloud settings, they say the mail is already checked and working! what can i do?
    Please Help!

    To change the ID for iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the new password.  This deletes the account and you synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
