Obsolete User Names appearing

I cannot seem to get rid of some account names: when I view activity manager I see mdworker with user names that I have deleted (accounts deleted) One was a non-admin account and one was an old admin account. The non-admin account shows up on other things too. Can anyone explain to me why and what it means, and also if there is a safe way to remove the name (old flame no longer flaming) Please note that I reformatted my entire disk (actually replaced it with a much bigger one with 1TG) when I upgraded to Snow and restored preferences from Time Machine. In doing so, I lost the ability to access the prior Time Machine back-ups even though everything transferred okay.
Thanks for the help in advance. Cheers.

How did you delete those old users? Note that if you just deleted the user folders, that doesn't actually delete the user, which would have to be done from System Preferences -> Accounts. If you already did it the right way, then I'll leave you in the hands of anyone else with a better idea.

Every time I update some games on my iPad, a different user name appear instead of my username, how do I change it

Why is it that every time I want to update some games or application on my iPad, a different username appear on it, how do I change it to my username

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
You have to delete them and re-download them with your Apple ID.

Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
*"Remove the Cookies" from that site: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

TS1367 Hey. My iMac screen comes on but it won't let me type my user name in. I first thought the batteries were done on the keyboard or Magic Mouse but they are both flashing. Cam anyone help

Can someone help. My iMac screen comes on but won't let me key in my details. I first thought my batteries were done but the light on the keyboard and Magic Mouse are flashing. My user name appears but I can't insert my password

Paul_31 is correct. The problem is almost certainly a Bluetooth connection issue. The flashing green lights mean that a connection cannot be established. You want steady burning green lights. Using a wired keyboard and mouse will allow you to troubleshoot that issue. A quick check would be to see if your "problem" keyboard and mouse can connect to another-different Mac. If they can then the issue is in you computer but if they can't (and I suspect that will be the case) then the problem is with the keyboard and mouse.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC. In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED. Cannot create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets." So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch. What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

The problem was solved today. Here's the full story. I'm a Mac user. At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop). I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" . After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time. Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it. Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem." I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air). She said probably not.
But I did. The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop. I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care. I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name. The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder. The folder is actually there, but they hide it. I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer. Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder. For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed. The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar. Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name. Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted. I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one.
I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense. I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond!

I just switched to Charter. When going to Mozilla Firefox a box appears saying, Authentication Required and asks for a User name and Password. What do I do?

I switched from CenturyTel to Charter. I can't use Firefox because a box appears asking me for Authentication Required, User Name and Password. When I hit cancel, this message appears:
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Authorization is required to access the configuration server.
You must enter the correct username and/or password.
When I called Charter, they told me they recommended using Internet Explorer. I told them I didn't want IE, I preferred Firefox. They recommended I go to your support page, so here I am. :o)

Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

My name appears with numbers in another user

Hi I connected my Spotify account to Facebook and I have problem now with an user. My name appears with numbers in his account. I think that problem is because i had blocked this user in my Facebook :(Can you solve this please? I can´t speak with this user but I share my music in real time with this user.

From what I can understand, you see music from a different user.As far as I can tell, that could be because you 'follow' a playlist, or specific music from a user. If you right click that playlist/song, can you 'unfollow' it or 'stop following' just depending on how it's called (got a different language).It should then dissapear. Regards,

Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

A screen appears to enter a user and pass word.
There are both supposed to be "router"
Defaults want to enter ROUter as user name and pass word and I cAN NOT OVER RIDE THEM. HELP

Yes, but the method is to simply connect the TC to the computer by ethernet and use it on a separate network. That is the best way to do it.. but you can also do the same thing better and easier with an external hard disk plugged in. For a desktop computer this is a better solution in a way. You will only be using the TC for Time Machine backups anyway.
If you want to continue to use the TC.. then the actual network settings I put in this thread with a whole series of pictures.

If you cannot follow any of that just ask.

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

My DigitalPersona Personal is no longer working. It does not appear so I can use my fingerprint to fill in user names and passwords.

The DigitalPersona Personal icon does not come up now that I've installed Firefox 4.0 beta.

I found a reference to workaround on an HP forum that has solved the problem for me. DP does not support FF 4 and the company does not plan to do so in the future. However, there is a Firefox AddOn called FingerFoxSE that bridges the incompatibility of DP and FF 4. I have installed it and it works fine. You will have to manually register all of your user names and passwords again but FingerFox handles the web pages and then calls DP to verify the password instead of having FF call DP directly. I am running Windows 7 with FF 4 final ad DigitalPersona 4.10.3790.

When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh

How do I change the user name that appears next to the House icon on the Finder Window?

I've edited my Account info and changed it to his, but this does not seem to change the name in the finder window.
Many thanks.
