Removing old profile from the laptop?

When I first bought my imac I was uncreative and did liv### as my mac name. I then changed it to rocketliv when I signed up for the mac internet features. Is there a way to get rid of the liv### from showing up in my preferences?! I keep changing it to rocketliv but it keeps coming back to haunt me.

Are you referring to the Computer Name, your user short name, your user long name? Try to be specific since there are a lot of different "names."

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

  • HT201493 Is there any way to remove old locations from the 'Notify Me' list?

    I would like to remove old/unused locations from the 'Notify Me' list.... I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app, but the locations still exist on reinstall.

    Hi, Phnxbane, and welcome to the Community,
    You may certainly remove all profile data by leaving those settings as "blank" or "not specified."  I find the easiest way to do this is to open the profile settings from within the Skype "client" software.
    Removing/deleting an account name from the Skype search directory closes the account.  More details about this can be found here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?' 
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • How do you remove old scanners from the Photoshop CS5 import menu?

    I'm using Mac Photoshop CS5 running on Mountain Lion.
    In the Photoshop import menu I've built up quite a list of scanners -- equipment I no longer have.
    Any way to pare that list down to just the actual scanner I'm using now?
    Seems like something needs to happen at the system level but I can't locate the offending prefs/config file(s).
    Any advice is much appreciated!

    The scanner list comes from the drivers installed with the OS.
    Remove the old drivers, and the scanners won't appear in Photoshop anymore.

  • How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

    How do you remove an old conversation using  the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

    Hi,
    Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
    iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
    In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
    What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts  for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want  (I have  some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
    With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
    Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
    I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
    I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
    By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
    Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
    In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

  • Re: Removing Old messages from the queue.

    Hi:
    I am using BEA Tuxedo 6.5. We are having problem that our queue is getting 3 messages
    and it chokes our application. Is there any way to clean up the old messages.
    I did see a post in which Scott said set the timeout on Message. Where in message?
    I looked into TPQCTL structure and it takes time to deque but I could not able
    to find place to set Message expiration time. My message buffer type is STRING.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    /Q was enhanced in release 7.1. You can dequeue messages by A) writing a
    program to dequeue them and throw them away; B) using qmadmin
    (qdeletemsg).

  • Can't remove old episodes from iPod sine Update!

    I have a Shuffle & usually carry 3-5 episodes each of 8-10 different podcasts.  Sine installing the new iTunes for Windows, I can't remove old eps from the device, & it's a total crapshoot as to which NEW episodes the system will allow me to click on!!
    HELP!!!!!!

    There are several ways to add podcast episodes to the shuffle, so please correct my assumptions in a reply.  How you add podcasts determines how you remove them.  I can't tell how you do it from the info you provide.
    It sound like you may add podcast episodes manually (drag and drop to iPod).  If you do, and your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, you should consider doing it using automatic syncing, by putting podcast episodes on a playlist (in your iTunes library and syncing it to the shuffle).  Update the playlist at any time, by adding new podcast episodes and removing old ones (the shuffle does not need to be connected).  Put the podcast episodes in desired order.  iTunes automatically updates the shuffle the next time it is connected (or by clicking Sync if already connected).  On the shuffle, you can listen to podcasts from that playlist, and hear episodes from different podcasts consecutively, in the desired order.
    When you remove podcast episodes manually, is this the way you do it?  Again, this is for 3rd or 4th gen shuffle.  Select the shuffle in iTunes, so that you see its "management" screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Podcasts.  To the right, the podcast episodes currently on the shuffle are shown.  Select the one(s) you want to remove an press Delete on the keyboard.

  • Remove Old Bookmarks From Favorites

    Hi,
    Does any one know how to remove old bookmarks from the favorites list in the open file dialog from a web template?
    Im on BI7
    I have deleted the bookmarks using the transaction SA38 -> RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG
    When i try to open one of the deleted bookmarks in the dialog it errors and says they dont exist, but the link still stays.
    Any Ideas.
    Thanks
    Josh

    HI
    Ive noticed there are two different ways of saving bookmarks/favorites:
    If a bookmarks is saved in the bex portfolio you can delete it using SA38 -> RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG, however this only seems to delete the bookmark in the backend as the link still remains in the portal in the open window, the link just throws and error saying it does not exist, still not sure how this link is cleared
    The other is if they save it as a favorite, this can be deleted via the portal admin in the KM content under userhome and the specific user and favorites.
    If i find out any more ill post back here.

  • How do I remove an old file from the Finder Favorites list?

    Good Afternoon.
    I have a shiney new MBPro with 10.7.1.
    On my old machine running Snow Leopard, I had two .xls files I used often that I had dragged to the left side into the favorites. The truth is, I hadn't used them in months, but hadn't bothered to remove them. Then about ten days ago, the Bad Thing happened, and I had to replace my laptop rather suddenly. The nice folks at the Apple store transferred all the data and I was off an running in just a few hours.
    Now, I thought to myself, I should remove those two files since I don't use them any more. But how?
    If I click on them nothing happens. If I right-click on them, nothing happens. I can't drag them out because they don't drag and they aren't listed on the list of favorites that can be toggled on and off in preferences.
    I checked. The files did still exist but deleting them didn't remove their names from the favorites list.
    Any suggestions as to how to remove these two .xls files from the Finder's Favorites list?
    Thanks. A picture is below.

    The msot amazing person ,just posted an answer to my other question which worked here too.
    Three cheers for Kappy!
    Just hold down the CMD key and drag them off. How simple is that?? They didn't klnow this at the Genius bar when I asked this morning. I am amazed.

    Thank you Kappy.

  • I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

    I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

    Yes, gladly. I am trying to install on a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3. I insert the disk into the SuperDrive. The I work '09 window pops up with two icons: one Tim install and one that says "Read before you install iWork." I double-click on the "Install iWork '09" icon, and a window appears that says, "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." I click "continue" and see "Welcome to the iWork '09 installer." I click on "Continue." The "read me" bullet on the left lights up, and I see "Read before you install. . . ." I click "Continue," then see the software license agreement. When I click on "Continue" again, I am asked to agree, and I do. The window then says, "Standard Install on 'Mackintosh HD" and indicates how much space the program will take.
    I click "Install," enter my password, and the installation begins. It goes through a validating phase and begins "writing files." It indicates that installation will take about 30 minutes (although that number fluctuates). After about four minutes it goes to "cleaning up." Then after just a few seconds, the "Summary" bullet on the left lights up and this message appears: "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." There is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and a bold "The installation failed." Below that appears "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    At that point, a "Close" button is pulsating blue at the bottom of the window.
    Sorry for the tedious detail. Anything revealing there?
    Thanks!

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • I was upgrading to iOS5, backed up files on my iphone4, when relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create a new profile (and then copy all contacts from the old profile). The old profile then got erased, together with all contacts. No old profile in iTunes

    I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. The old files in my profile backed up. When relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create new profile on the iPhone, thinking I could copy my old contacts from the old profile (as iCloud seems to merge all contacts). When the ne profile was created on the iPhone, the old profile on iTunes disappared without a trace.  Please help restore my contacts.

    Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
    If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.
