User Names how to delete one

I am using a IMAC with OS10.4.10. I transfered my files, etc. from my G4 to the IMAC using a the firewire ports. Had some minor problems but got it all transfered. My problem is that I now have two user names, "Fred" and "Fred Holmes". The Holmes user opens the IMAC files, with some of the transfered files has to be access using "Fred". I have tried to set up the shared files under "Fred Holmes", sometimes works, sometimes not. On the screen I have MACINTOSH HD in the upper right hand position. When I shut down and log on, I have to select either "Fred" or "Fred Holmes", the "Fred" takes me to the OS9 system from the G4. Must I keep the "Fred" user or is there a way to put those files with "Fred Holmes" and delete the "Fred" user? Any information no matter how basic it is, would be helpful, as I am not one of the best computer knowledgeable person.

Kappy
Would it be the other way around? I want to keep the "Fred Holmes" files as they are the ones associated with the new IMAC, the "Fred" files appears to be the files that were moved from the G4. If I delete one of the files, do I still need the shared files?
Also, Kappy what should be in the applications file? And where should the files be such as Quicken, Family Reunion, etc. At the present time I find them all over the place. Thanks

  • New dupes but with different names, how to delete one set

    I imported a set of CR2, converted them to dng and removed the cr2 from the catalog.  Yes, there are better ways to do this.  I failed to notice that I had checked the rename box with original name, which I left blank.  So every photo begins "untitled".  But no two have the same file name, so "untitled-2-92" and "untitled-2-93" are the same shot.  Any way to filter for odd or even numbered file names?  Take delete and try again?  Any idea what happened?  I only did the one import. 

    There are a couple of options for handling this. By far the easiest is to delete the LR catalog file, restart Lightroom and allow it to create a new catalog. Then you can just start over with a fresh import. This is dependent upon you having your original CR2 files available. If not or you have other photos you have already stored in Lightroom, this is not the the option for you. If you do, use the Copy As DNG option. This would also be a really good time to create a file renaming template. This is done using the File Renaming panel which is located in the right-hand panel during import. Set up your options and then save it as a new template. You will then have it whenever you do an import. It is really very flexible and I am sure you can configure it to give you what will work for you.
    Okay, so what to do if you can't just start over? You will have to work within Lightroom to remove the photos you do not want. In Library mode, you have a filter bar available. If you don't see it, use the slash (\) key to toggle it back on. Select the Text option. Right below the filter bar will be two drop down boxes and a search text box. Select Filename from the Text drop down and leave Contains all in the second drop down. In the search field, enter something common to what you want to delete such as "untitled-2-". This will show only files that contain the text "untitled-2-" anywhere in the filename. Next, select each of the files you want to delete. Once everything you want is selected, use the Photo/Remove Photo... menu option to delete them (or you can also just hit the <DELETE> key). Lightroom will prompt you to delete them from just the catalog or from both the catalog and delete the actual file from the disk. If you want the dups to be gone for good, select the option to delete them from the disk as well.
    A variation on the above is to use the <x> key to flag the photo as a reject. What this will do is dim the photo in both the film strip at the bottom of the screen as well as in the grid. This gives you a chance to change your mind before removing them. To use this approach, simply select the photos in either the grid or the film strip and press the <x> key or use the flag keys from the toolbar which are between the sort parameter and the color labels. The one with the 'x' on the flag will set the rejected flag (you can also use the menu item Photo/Set Flag). A photo will stay flagged as rejected until you unflag it. What this does for you is uncouples the selection of the photos and the actual removal of them from your system. When you reach the point where only photos not dimmed are the ones you want to keep, you can proceed with the removal of the rejected photos. For this, use the Photos/Delete Rejected Photos menu option.As above, Lightroom will ask whether to also remove the files from the disk as well.
    One last comment on how the filters work. Filters are applied only to the photos being displayed in the grid. For example, if you allowed Lightroom to import photos into dated folders, Lightroom will create a folder for each date it finds during the import. So, if you went on a three day trip and took photos on each of the three days, Lightroom would create three folder, one for each day, and populate them with only the photos you took on that day. In Library mode, the left hand side of the screen will show you your folders. If you are at the top level, Lightroom will show you all of your photos and that is what the filter will be applied to, However, if you are positioned on a sub-folder, the filter will be applied only to the photos that live within that sub-folder and any sub-folders contained within it. This can be an advantage if you want to clean up in smaller chunks but it means you need to keep track of what has been cleaned up so you don't miss anything.
    Finally, Lightroom has an option which can be found on the right hand side of the Import screen that is used to tell Lightroom what to do with duplicate files. You can import them which will give you a -x (where x is a number) appended to the name if the same name already exists or you can tell Lightroom to Not Import Suspected Duplicates. If this is checked, Lightroom will not import an photo it thinks is already imported. Lightroom really doesn't know if the file is a duplicate of not. It looks at file attributes such as file name, capture date, file size and such to make that determination. It is still possible to get duplicate files imported so you will get the occasional photo with the -x suffix but many fewer than if you re-import a stream of photos a second or third time.
    Lightroom does have the ability to delete the original file when you do a conversion from RAW to DNG. As each photo is validated and converted to DNG, the old RAW file is removed but you have to set the option as part of the conversion. This is useful if you do your RAW photo import and then convert to DNG later.

  • Thunderbird on Ubuntu; receives duplicate imap & pop3 for same user name- how to delete imap? (says 'in use', will not allow entry into Settings)

    Frontier is a telco that has changed to Yahoo mail recently.
    Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14 LTS behaves somewhat differently than on a Windows machine; I can open Account Settings and will see 2 duplicate account entries in the left panel, but when I clcik on either accounts Server Settings, I only get a blocking message that says "Account Name in Use. Please enter a different account name." I'm unable to determine which is imap or pop, or delete anything...
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Update to my original discussion:
    If the problem persists, rinse & repeat steps from the original post.
    Alternate Solution: If problem still persists and your imap email is not syncing correctly, call customer support of your email provider (in my case it was GoDaddy). Tell them the problem and ask them to do a "ReSync". Make sure your imap email account is set up on your iPhone before they perform the resync. I tried this and its been a week since I had any problems. If you're lucky this could fix other problems that are not listed in this discussion thread.
    Good luck & Cheers.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • Two users on my MBA. How to delete one?

    Sytem Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Click little lock next to "Click the lock to make changes".
    Now you can click user you would like to delete, and click "-". You will be asked what would you like to do with that users profile (data)
    Just make sure that the remaining user is an Administrator (it should say "Admin" below the username).

  • Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

    I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

    You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
    * https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
    You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
    If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

  • How to delete one apple id account when you have two

    How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone
    and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices.
    When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook
    but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.
    The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPone required a more complicated password.
    So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone
    and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.

    There's no way to delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it.

  • How to delete one number in the dial pad dropdown ...

    When calling a phone number from Skype, I mistyped the phone number.  Now whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list includes the mistyped phone number.  I want to delete that single number from the dial pad's dropdown list.
    Unfortunately I obeyed some people's suggestions in other topics.  Now the contents of all chat histories with all ordinary Skype contacts are gone.  I used to save logs of those forever, but the attempt to delete one phone call history actually deleted all chat histories with everyone.  That was not what I wanted. ... And then, to add insult to injury, whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list still includes the mistyped phone number that I want to delete.
    Is there any way to do it?
    Even though I make more typos than everyone else, even though my keyboard's Backspace button gets a pounding, surely I'm not the only one?

    NOT My day - just typed out a message and clicked Preview. The message is gone. Short reply - this is suppose, at heart, to be a telephone system. BASICS like keyboard entry error correction should be available (in an intuitive way). Backspace doesn't erase last entry and you cannot even delete ALL the entry. Would you fix this or explain why it cannot be done - and then find out how it can.

    In PFCG, it may be that you have added some objects manually. To remove them you will have to go to pfcg.
    Even if you first remove the objects from su24, you will have to go to all the roles through pfcg to generate them in expert mode by selecting the third option (edit old status and merge with new data)

  • Kuler user name - How to change?

    I'm sorry if this question comes across as impertinent. Given
    the great tools that the kuler team has given us, why would someone
    agonize over a user name?
    Well, I do have a desire to change my kuler username and I
    can't seem to figure out how (my reasons are for pure vanity sake).
    I've updated my Adobe ID account, I've searched for a profile tab
    kuler and still haven't found a way to do it.
    Does anyone know how, or if, this can be done?
    Sincerely yours,
    Un-kule No Direction (is) Obvious

    I'll second this request. For some reason the kuler site is
    taking the first part of my email address as my username instead of
    my name from my Adobe ID. My email address starts with macromedia,
    so, apparently, I am macromedia on kuler :)
    Not sure if that's how it behaves for everyone, but if so I'm
    sure this will mean duplicates at some point.
    Also, the kuler icon that displays next to the username seems
    to be the first theme you save. It would be much better if we could
    choose this.
    There is also no way of duplicating a theme, which would be
    great when you want to have similar colours to do comparisons,
    etc.
