Removing "Other" From Login

Hey,
Just recently it started adding "other" to my login screen when I start up.
I disabled the guest account and also tried the terminal command to remove accounts from the login menu. Does anyone know how else I can remove this?
It's really annoying having to click my account to login rather than simply being able to type in my password

according to macosxhints.com this terminal command should remove it
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWOTHERUSERS_MANAGED -bool FALSE
I'm trying it now. Will update
Ok, it worked. Cool deal. google and 20 minutes later

How do i remove blackberry from Login items in lion?

any idea? I'm trying to remove blackberry device manager from login item but the its checked and greyed out.

Backup your files to a external data drive and disconnect
Reboot the computer holding the Shift key down to enter Safe mode, the third party kernel extensions will be disabled.
Try the BB uninstaller again and/or
Look in your System/Library/Extensions folder for anything that has the "Blackberry" or "RIM" name in the extension (with .kext at the end of the file) and move it out of the folder.
You may have to consult their web site for a manual uninstall method. Kext stands for Kernel extension obviously.
the free Easy Find can help you locate the files in that folder.
You also can Command r boot into Lion Recovery and install Lion with the
Restoring OS X 10.5 10.6. 10.7 - simple overwrite OS method

That should kick anything out of OS X itself, then it's just a matter of removing anything in the Applicaitons folder.
If there are remnants still in your user, you can always create a new user and transfer your personal data via the root level/Users/ "shared" folder, once up, then remove the old user.

Unable to remove item from login items

how can I remove this wdquicklook the - sysmble is not grayed out any ideas?
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j291/dqboy87/loginitems_zps45db739c.jpg

Download and run Find Any File to search for a file named "WDQuickview".
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a WDQuickview file hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it. The symbol might be indicating that the file/item is missing. FAF will tell you if it is.
If you find the file with FAF you can drag it from the search window to the Trash bin in the Dock. Reboot and check the System/Accounts preferences again.

How to remove "Other" from my iPhone 5 memory to free up space?

I tried doing a rest and it didn't help my problem. Are there any other things I could try?

... Any suggestions other then the reset to "new Phone"
No.
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Removing other from iPhone 5

How do I get rid of or even figure out what is in "other" on my iPhone 5

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Voice recordings
Text messages
iMessages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
iOS Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog

Good news! Removing "other user" from login screen.

Here is the 100% successful solution.

How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart? "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups. I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5. Thank you!

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How do I uninstall Messages from OSx or remove from Login Items

After installing the OSx 10.9.2 update, I've been getting popups to sync my contacts to Messages. I do not use Messages and do not want to be bothered with the prompts every time I turn on my computer. I've tried seeing if it can be removed from Login Items under my Account, but it does not show up. I've tried uninstalling it, but have found it to be "required" for OSx. PLEASE, can anyone help me get rid of this?

Tap on the trash bin in the mail app
Tap edit at the top
Tap delete all at the bottom
What problems are you having as this is a very simple process?

I've had three laptops all connected to my itunes account, one was stolen, the other broke, how can I remove them from my itunes account?

So, in three years, after getting an iphone and an apple account I've had to replace a laptop twice due to theft or damage. When I link my phone to my new computer, it asks me if I want to connect the computer with the phone and I say yes, but you can only have 5 devices connected to one account, since one was stolen, and the other laptop broke, how do I remove them from my account??

De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?

How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
Cheers, SZ

You need to disable the root user. From what I understand you enabled it from the install DVD's password reset.
Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

How do I remove Bing from my toolbar at the top of the page. I have already tried both of the suggestions given in the help section; I could not find Bing in my control panel "add and remove programs," and there was one other suggestion which I also tried

''locking due the age of this thread - asked and answered''
I have tried all of the suggestions given by FF in order to remove Bing from my computer but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate some advise. For instance when I go to add and remove programs I can't even find Bing listed. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks.

Every time Firefox opened
