She's arrived.... and... how do you change ur short name?

Upon waking up this morning I did my daily routine of tracking my shipment to my wonderful surprise it had been delivered. I live on the apartment side of campus so if you aren't there they take it to the housing office.
I guess nobody heard the bell because it said they tried at 9 o clock.Anyways, I just came back from there and I'm setting it up now. I love it.
But yea the question is.....
is there a way to change my short name in my account settings. I typed the wrong thing the first time.

What is aspect ratio and how can you change it?

Please refer to my other post for more information on these photos. The photos I am referring to are the ones that appear blank in the edit screen.
When I try to export these photos to facebook using the exporter, it says that IPhoto can only deal with photos with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or lower, and that the photos selected have a greater aspect ratio. What is aspect ratio and if possible, how do you change it? This may be directly linked to my other problem with the same pics.

I'm having the same trouble. Zapplications will upload only 1920x1920 photos. With iPhoto I can't get past the automatic ratio of 1920x1440!!! There MUST be some way to customize photo size on iPhoto!! Please help!! I've tried cropping the photo to a square and still can't get past this ratio thing.

Hello how do you change the account name

Hello I've bought a second hand Mac mini.
Under system preferences...users and groups...user admin...advanced options
How do you change the user ID, Group, Account name and home directory name?
When I go to do this there is a warning sigh that the user won't be able to log in. As I'm the new owner of the Mac mini I'd like to put my own name there but not share if I'm doing it right.
Thanks Edd

Hello Eddie,
Good thing you asked, not that easy, & can be dangerous...

If it were me, I'd just make a new admin account, leave the old one for emergency use.

I just set up a wireless network using an airport express. How can you change the network name

How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

How can I change the "short name" of my account?

I want to change the short name of my account because when my dad bought this computer for me he set up the account with his name as the short name and it has been bothering me ever since.
When I go to system preferences and then accounts my account is listed and when I click on it under password I am able to change my name, but not my short name because it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Is there any way to change the short name on my account? I can't even delete my account and make a new one because the account delete button is greyed out when I click on my account.
Also, I went to my home folder and changed that from my dad's name to my name. This has reset every program on my computer to default settings! For example when I open my Safari browser a message pops up saying a keychain cannot be found to store Safari and asks me if I want to restore default settings.
So pretty much I've tried to change the short name on my administrative account, I reset everything to default settings and my short name is still my father's name. Can anyone help me out here?

Try this.
Or you could just create a new account and delete the old one.

How does Outlook 365 prioritize photos? And how do you change the behavior? Running Exchange

Hello all..first time poster.
So I have Office 365 installed. Running the owa Outlook and the desktop verison at the same time. Outlook 2013 servers from Microsoft. What I noticed is that changes to some don't affect others:
On the owa version, I had to activate both Linkedin and Facebook connectors, even though they were already loaded and operational in the Outlook desktop version..which I thought was strange. I am also running Exchange off the Microsoft servers.
So to the question... On the desktop Outlook version, when I click on a contact, View Source:
1)
Outlook (Contacts, *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
Facebook
Linkedin
(this scenario is pulling the Facebook photo although I have a different photo assign in Outlook)
2)
Outlook
Linkedin
(this scenario pulls the Linedkin photo although I have a different picture assigned to it thru Contacts)
3)
Facebook
Linkedin
(this is pulling the facebook photo and not the linkedin photo)
Now if I go out to OWA:
1) Above is actually showing the LinkedIn photo (I also notice I have 3 linked profiles to this.. all 3 are LinkedIn profiles)
2) I show a Linkedin photo (I also have linked: Contacts, LinkedIn, LinkedIn)
3) I show a LinkedIn photo (I also have 2 other linkedin contacts linked to this contact)
So I'm guessing that the contacts that have multiple LinkedIn profiles linked to them were because of some duplicate recordes that occurred or it could be because I have my regular work profile for a contact and they had a different e-mail address they are
using for Facebook and LinkedIn possibly?
How can I change each contact so I can select their photo for 1) Contacts, *** Email address is removed for privacy *** (where I loaded a local picture of them) vs. using their LinkedIn photo vs. their Facebook photo?
Also, is there any 3rd party app or different way to increase the quality of LinkedIn and Facebook photos?

Hello,
Have you tried the following KB article to manually update the photo, what’s the result?

How do you change your review name from anonymous?

I don't want to submit my review on a podcast as anonymous. After clicking on "submit a review" for the first time, I was asked to create a name that would be used to identify myself as the reviewer, or I could pick anonymous. I chose a name and then was forwarded to the next step to write the review. I decided to wait to write the review at a later time so I canceled and logged out until I had more time later to write the review. When I logged back in and finished the review, I was listed as anonymous on the preview page, so I didn't submit the review yet. How do I change from "anonymous" to the tag that I would like to use?

If you go into your account within iTunes, you can set up a "nickname" which will be used for your review name.
Hope this helps.

How do you change the library name?

Hi all,
Recently i downloaded the trial version of aperture 3. I liked it so i went ahead and bought the boxed version from the apple store. I authorized the trial version with the my new serial number. My main library name is named "Aperture 3 Trial Library". How can I change the name to a more appropriate name being it is no longer a trial.
Many thanks.

Just change the name in Finder.
Close Aperture. In Finder, select the "Aperture 3 Trial Library" file. Rename it. Double-click the newly named file to launch it. (This last step ensures that when you launch Aperture, it will launch your newly-renamed Library.)

How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone?

I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them. I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory. I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods. [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

How do I change my short name on Yosemite OS X? I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.

I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.
There was a text box after I clicked on the lock after I went to Users and Groups in System Preferences, but now it's gone.
By short name, I mean the name that appears on your lock screen when you log in.
P.S. I use a MacBook Air Early 2014 version, 13-inch.
I upgraded to Yosemite 2 days ago.

I found how to do it.
Go to SystemPreferences - Users&Groups - Right-click on your account at the left hand side bar- change your FULL NAME ONLY
If you change anything else the system might break but changing the full name causes no damage.
So I changed my name and am working fine with my Mac.
Cheers!

Mail - how do you add folders simply and how do you change the name of folders - simply.

I'm new to Mac - have OS X 10.9.4 - love the machine. But . . . as a long time PC user, I'm trying to learn to use Mail, Calendar and Contacts. Mail and Calendars are so HARD to use when you are used to the power and elegance of Outlook. Mail is just a downright pain compared to Outlook. Calendar is really a plain jane. That said, I love the Mac but could really use information about customizing mail appearance, setting up folders in mail, etc. Also want to know how to customize calendar. Where can I get good information. I'm a fairly sophisticated user - want more than making font sizes different - I need to add some pizzazz.
Thank you

Thank you Barney. Your info was helpful. I purchased Outlook for Mac; I use it for Word and for Excel. I like Keynote better than PP. The Outlook software version is slightly different for a MAC than for a PC. It would be fine but there seems to be compatibility issues - at least 2 x's a day I get knocked out of my msn or my outlook accounts and have to sign in again when I use Outlook on the MAC. That's why I'm trying to switch over to Mail and Calendar. I do like contacts on the MAC.
I'm used to dressing up my mail and calendar on Outlook. All mail messages I send are in a customized color, font, etc. Mac has templates for stationary but they are a little hokey. I just want a professional look with some color - possibly a simple border. In Outlook calendar, I am used to a color coding system for various types of appointments (face to face vs. phone, in the office, vs. outside, with staff vs. external folks). There does not seem to be any way to change the appearance of appointments in MAC - except for work or personal. That just doesn't meet the use I've been accustomed to.
Thanks for the help!
