Set up mac as a guest

I have an iMac that I want to sell.  I have erased the hard drive and set it up with 10.7 -
Now the computer wants my name, log in password, adddress, etc. to start up.
I want to set it up as a "guest" so that I can demonstrate the computer - and have the new owner become the administrator after they purchase it.
How should I do that?

Load bonjour for windows.. at least .. the full airport utility can help.
When you say guest.. do you mean on wireless guest.. or hard disk access guest?
The problem windows might have is the names you are using are Apple type not windows (SMB) type, which need to be short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Reset the TC and use correct names.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

    I am pretty sure that this is not an option within Apple Mail.

  • When attempting to set up Mac OS to open a specific app (version), and selecting 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest app version of the same.  Any clues?

    When attempting to set up Mac OS to open files with a specific app (version), through 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest version of the same app.  Any reason why it does not allow my other version of same app to be the default one?

    I have Acrobat Pro 10.1.13 and Adobe Reader 10.1.13.
    If I use the Finder to get all PDFS to open with Reader instead of Pro, they do.  And vice versa, using the Change All.

  • Set up MAC Address Filtering on WRT54G - now nothing connects

    I set up MAC address filtering on the wireless router.  Added 5 MAC addresses to the PERMITTED list, by selecting them from the available devices.   Saved the changes.  Now, none of the machines can connect to the access point.  That includes the PC I use to log in and administer the access point.  I connected the network cable directly to my PC to manage the router/access point.  Still not able to connect.  What happened?  How do I get back in and turn that nonsense off.  I know MAC Filtering is questionable wrt effectiveness, but I decide to try it.
    Solved!

    Reset the router back to defaults. Reconfigure it from scratch.

  • How to set my Mac to wake automatically when invited to join a video chat?

    Is it possible to set my Mac to wake automatically from Sleep when invited to join a video chat?
    Also, is it possible to show that I am still available when my Mac is sleeping?
    It seems that if these settings are not possible, there can be no spontaneity with iChat. You have to pre-arrange a video chat by email or whatever, in which case you are not adding much once you have arranged the call--you may as well carry on with the email or whatever other contact method you use.
    Or is there some other way to arrange video chat?

    Is it possible to set my Mac to wake automatically
    from Sleep when invited to join a video chat?
    Also, is it possible to show that I am still
    available when my Mac is sleeping?
    No, neither of these are possible. When your Mac is asleep it does not remain connected to anything on the 'net.
    It seems that if these settings are not possible,
    there can be no spontaneity with iChat. You have to
    pre-arrange a video chat by email or whatever, in

    Or is there some other way to arrange video chat?
    The only way you could do it is to leave your Mac on and iChat connected at all times. You could then set your display to switch off after a certain amount of time.
    That way your Mac will remain connected via iChat and you'll be able to receive video chats at any time. In fact i believe an incoming call via iChat will even switch the display back on (though i haven't tested this myself).

  • I am set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection    refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

    I set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection    refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

    Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our  mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

  • Default Setting for .Mac?

    I want to set my .mac calender's default view for anyone who visits it to monthly, is there a way to do this so people don't have to visit the preferences themselves?

    VictoriaSueno,
    To the best of my knowledge, the view which is presented to your visitors will be computer specific, and is controlled by a cookie.
    The individual user will have to select the desired "Calendar View" after clicking on "Preferences"

  • Setting up mac addresses

    airport utillity setting up access with mac addresses
    first line shows default ............... unlimited
    do i use no access in edit to keep out unwanted mac addresses ? and then proceed to list the ones i want ?

    You are supposed to be able to select "Local" in addition to "Not Enabled", "Timed Access" and "RADIUS". Using Local will enable you to set which MAC addresses have access to your Time Capsule, but for the life of me I couldn't find the Local option...

    This is likely because you have the AirPort Extreme connected to a modem/router, or gateway device.....and not a simple modem. Can you provide the make and model number of your "modem", as we previously asked?

  • Setting up Mac for BT and old Talktalk mail

    We changed from talktalk to BT today and I want to set up Mac mail to receive both my mail from my old provider talktalk and also a new bt email address which I set up this morning (and hasn't yet worked....)  
    As I need to receive mail from my old talktalk.net address until everyone has the new BT mail, I need both accounts on my mac mail.  I am able to receive mail on my talktalk address but cannot send using this address/server, it says "cannot send mail using the server talktalk".  It won't connect using the bt server either?
    Can anyone let me know how I receive emails from both, but send using BT and why this isn't working for me (unable to send mail).
    I'm aware I may sound like a complete techno idiot here, but hoping its a simple fix!
    Many thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Presumably as you are no longer with Talk Talk, you no longer have an account on their outgoing mail server. You need to send via the BT SMTP mail server but you need a BTinternet address to authenticate with. I am not familiar with Mac Mail so don't know the details of how to accomplish that but you need to configure the outgoing server with the following details.
    Server mail.btinternet.com
    Port 465
    SSL Yes
    User name your full [email protected] email address
    Password your Btinternet.com password
    Authenticate plain password
    The BT account will be the same details as above for outgoing, for incoming use port 993 and SSL for IMAP or 995 and SSL for POP3.
