Pregunta sobre un Guest User

a mi latop le aparesio un Guest User sin q nadie lo pusiera ahi, y cuando le hago click para abrirlo me dice que la loptop se reinisiara, n entiendo q sucede y como aparecio ahi y por que me dice q loptop se reinisiara al querer entrar a ese Guest User, espero puedan solucionarme esta pregunta Gracias por su tiempo..

Guest User viene preconfigurado por default en todas las versiones de MacOS X que recuerdo. Es un usuario "default" que no tiene privilegio alguno, ni derecho de guardar informacion en la computadora, pero que permite usar (o probar) el equipo sin riesgo. Por ejemplo, para dejar que el hermanito menor juegue algun jueguito sin que destruya los archivos valiosos.
Si no se requiere esta funcionalidad, se puede deshabilitar al Guest User en el panel de Usuarios y Grupos dentro de Preferencias del Sistema. Se necesita haberse autentificado como usuario con privilegios de administrador para hacer ese tipo de cambios.

  • Hi! i have a question. When I start macbook, the guest user request me password, how the off? (Sorry for my english, i speak spanish, la pregunta en españo: al encender el macbook, el usuario invitado me solicita contraseña, como la quito?)

    El usuario invitado sirve para habilitar acceso anonimo a ciertas partes del sistema.
    Si no se usa, deshabilitalo. Entra a Preferencias del Sistema / Usuarios y Grupos con una cuenta con privilegios de administrador. Haz click en el candado de la esquina inferior, pedira el password de la cuenta. Selecciona al usuario invitado y asegurate que todas las opciones esten des-seleccionadas (sin paloma).

  • Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

    Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
    About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
    This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
    After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account?  Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
    I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

    If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
    But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
    Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband
    Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
    You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
    Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside:  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband  .

  • I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account, I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account

    I can no longer see my account name so I can gain access to my information, but now all I get is a Guest user account and it won't let me log into that account. All it lests me do is re-start the computer and use it in restricted mode. Can someone please help me!

    Recommendation for your consideration
    Hopefully your original user account was an "administrator". I have two admin accts in case one admin. acct gets "trashed.
    Lets see what other forum members offer: my solution requires use of terminal and works. CLI (Command Line Interface) might be intimidating for you but we'll see what others possibly offer.
    As I say the solution I have works well and will allow you to create new user(s) replacing your former users whatever type they were. I promise to check back today if no solution to you is offered...
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

  • How do i get rid of the guest user account on my mac?

    The guest user account keeps appearing on my login screen and i want to get rid of it, i do not want others to be able to access my account. How am i able to do this? I have tried to go on through the user section and nothing i seem to do in there helps. Please help!

    You don't want to get rid of, it's a security feature. If someone steals your Mac, all that account permits is Safari access, no other access to the computer. This enables you to locate your Mac.

  • Some programs crash but not in safe mode or for guest user

    Hoping that some talented and kind Mac wizard will help me solve a bizarre problem: Some but not all of my programs have started crashing immediately upon launch, but not in safe mode, nor when I log in as a guest user.
    The problem began on February 5th, right after I installed an update to my OS (bringing it up to version 10.7.3), which included an update to the firmware for my computer, a Mac mini from mid-2010. The programs that began crashing upon launch *may* be those that were open at that time, but I can’t be sure. They include Adobe Reader, Picasa, Word for Mac, and a sweet little utility called uCalendarX.
    Specifically what happens with, say, uCalendarX, is this:  After I launch it, nothing appears on screen for a few seconds, and then comes a message that it is trying restore its windows, with a choice of whether to attempt restoring them or not. After a few more seconds comes the news that it has quit unexpectedly. The first several dozen lines of the crash log appear at the end of this posting.
    So far my troubleshooting has revealed the following:
    (a) When I reboot in safe mode, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (b) When I boot the usual way but log on a guest user, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (c) Fully emptying the trash made no difference.
    (d) The problem was not solved by restoring my hard drive (via Time Machine) to its state the day before I downloaded that update to the OS and the firmware. (This was a drastic step, the intervention of last resort, and I was sure it would work. But no. Perhaps I did not go back far enough for the restoration.)
    (e) Deleting the plist files and plist.lockfiles made no difference.
    (f) Deleting the files for the app under Saved Application States made no difference.
    (g) Disabing the user’s font cache (as happens in safe mode) made no difference.
    (h) Uninstalling Adobe Reader, emptying the trash, downloading the latest version, and installing that made no difference – this latest version newly installed continues to crash (but not for a guest user, nor for me, the administrator, in safe mode).
    (i  ) Repairing permissions on the hard drive made no difference.
    I will be mighty grateful for a solution to this perplexing, vexing problem!
    B.t.w., I don’t know Unix but was able to do all those (fruitless) interventions listed above.

    Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
    So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

  • Iphoto opens as guest user but not primary user

    Iphoto will not open on the primary user account but does open as a guest user. It states that iphoto does not work with this type mac. It worked fine until yesterday. I have macbook air, OS10, iphoto 11

    If iPhoto only opens in the Guest account, then some setting in your main account are faulty. Perhaps preferences files are not readable.
    Remove the user preferences from your user library:
    Delete the iPhoto preference file: com.apple.iPhoto.plist from your     ~/Library/Preferences folder.
    In Lion or later also the cached file in
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
    The library is hidden in Lion or later: To remove the files:
    Click somewhere on the empty Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option ⌥ key, until you see the "Library"  in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.
    Scroll down to the "Preferences" folder and open it.
    Remove com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Note: this will reset all  iPhoto preference settings to the default values, you may want to take a note of them, before you do that.

  • Having trouble setting up Guest users account email address

    Hi.I've been using my Macmail with my administrative account for some time now.I recently set up a guest user account for a visiting reletive.I wanted to get the "Macmail" e-mail program up and running as well so they could use the same e-mail address that I use with my administrative account.After clicking on the Macmail icon in the dock and going through the steps to set up the account......I was then able to successfully send out and recieve a test e-mail. However...........after logging out of the guest account and back to my administrative account and then logging back into the guest account again.........when I now click on the Macmail icon in the dock........the e-mail program starts asking me to go through the steps to set an email program up again.It seems to have "forgotten" or disregarded that I already did this the last time I was logged in.I'm wondering why its doing this and how do I permanently set up this email account so that it doesn't disappear every time I log out? Thanks for any assistance.

    Files created while using a guest account are deleted when the user logs out. A temporary home folder is created for the guest’s files. When the they log out, the home folder and it’s contents are deleted.
    Instead create a standard non-admin account...
    Create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+"

  • For some reason the guest user on my mac book pro has a password and did not set a password on it how do I remove it?

    For some reason there a password on the guest user on my mac book pro when I try to login in to for someone to use, I didn't set the password I try to remove it and try disable the guest user but didn't work so don't know what to do please help 

    Restart the computer (with Parental Controls off) and try again. If there's no change, see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • How can I create a custom environment for the guest user in Mavericks?

    Hello Mavericks insiders
    I need to setup several new MacBooks running Mavericks for school use. We want to use guest because everything is reset at each login. However, I first need to permanently customise the environment for the guest user:
    - doing program first runs
    - adjusting printer settings
    - dock settings
    - wallpper

  • I accidently logged off with Guest user and now I cant  get back into my computer it is threatening to loose all my documents

    As i am the sole user of my computer i dont use my password, therefore to be honest i have forgotten it. Now I dont know how to get my password back and i cant delete the guest user which seemed to have put itself there. if I try to delete. It I am told i will lose all my files.  I simply switched off last night as I was so frustrated by it.  technical terms are not much use to me, at 78 i feel I just need simply directions as to what to do.  i am sure there is nothing wrong with the desktop.  i would be grateful for any suggestions

    how to get my password back
    Your Mac encrypts your password as it is entered. It is never stored "in the clear". It cannot tell you what it is, or even how many characters are in it. All it can tell is, when you enter it again and it encrypts it again, "was that it?"
    So you will need to Reset your password, which changes it permanently, deleting the old one.
    These article is the starting place.  follow the Links in the articles for less-frequently-used procedures:

  • How can I find the IP address of guest users who log on to my Adobe Connect Meeting?

    We had an Adobe Connect meeting that was open for guest users to log in under generic user names. Does the Adobe Connect meeting log keep the IP address or other identifiable information for these guest users?

    Footprints will track and report the User IP's.
