Why are deleted user accounts showing up in login window and fast user switching menu?

There are several old user accounts, just test accounts when I was studying for ACSA that I deleted, which continue to show up in the login window and the fast user switcher menu. I deleted them before upgrading to Lion (I think it was before). The accounts do not exsist in the /Users folder, nor even the /Users/Deleated Users folder. Additionally they do not show up in the list of users in System Preferences. Can anyone give some advice on how to remove these "ghost" accounts from the login window and drop down menu?
Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the link. Sorry it took me a while to get to this, the problem is not a show stopper, so to speak, so tried your advice when I had the time. Unfortunatly it did not work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

  • HT4798 Why did a guest account appear in my login window.  I normally only have two authorized users.

    My log in window today showed two authorized login choices and a guest choice.  When logged in yesterday,  it only showed the two authorized login choices.  The only changes I have made were done on iPhone and iPods setting up iCloud access and accounts.  Did this cause the guest user to appear on my MBP?

    If you set up Find My Mac in iCloud, then it creates a Guest account.

  • Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    << Discussion  moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
    Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log???  We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

    Thank you for your reply.
    However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone.  We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on  the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up. 
    If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

    Why are my contacts not showing up in my imessage on my macbook pro?

    open messages. go to messages>preferences>accounts. select your icloud account from the left sidebar, and uncheck 'enable this account' then recheck 'enable this account'
    you should also be using icloud to sync your contacts. sytem preferences>icloud. check the 'contacts' box

  • Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s.  I have the iPhone 4.  Two problems here
    iPhone users DO appear.  In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data.  HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK?  I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!!  and Thank you.

    If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data.  Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs.  The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.   

        Sparkyjames81,
    Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
    If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

  • How to make a User Account not show in the Login window

    I have set up a few accounts on my Powerbook for the sake of office colleagues who need to access some of my shares. They are not really users of my machine, though, so I was thinking what a pity that they have to be there in an endless list of 'phony' users in the Login window, making it necessary for me to scroll down to find my Account.
    So, is there a way, using NetInfo db or some other magic, to designate a few users as invisible to the Login window?
    As always, many thanks.

  • Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

    why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

    No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can.  The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
    Thanks

    "I have noticed that on my IPad Calendar, that on some of the scheduled appointments it is showing Phoenix as a time zone. On some it is showing Salt Lake City, and then on others it will show Denver. I can't quite see why or understand why that this is an issue since everything is set to Salt Lake City. On the ones that show up with Phoenix as the time zone the times change. Also I have had some of the times showing on the calendar at an hour different that when I open the Appointment. It will show the correct time, but on the Calendar it is sometimes different. "
    From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
    Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year.   When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not.   You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • User accounts missing after post install reboot and cannot login

    The 10.5 install process completed and my mac mini rebooted and came up with the login screen. None of my user accounts show - my admin user and my regular user account (also has admin privs) are not available and all I can chose is 'Other' - I have enter both my user accounts and passwords but they are not accepted.
    I then restarted from the Leopard disk, cancelled the install program and used the password utility to reset these passwords and all the accounts show up in the selections (including a guest one I have set up).
    I'm stuck here - can get no further. Only option seems to be restarting the install from scratch unless anyone else has a good suggestion?

    Ok now restarted the install process (by selecting back from the login screen and then selecting restart from the login screen that showed the 'Other' user account only. I held down the c on the keyboard until the restart took the Leopard disc which was in the drive.
    Then I went thru the install steps (language, license agree etc) and when it asked for what disk to install on I selected the mac mini HDD ad then clicked the options button to select the Archiv and Install option (rather than the Update only option I had been doing).
    The install process purred through ok and I am up and running.
    Now on to my MacBook Pro .....Thanks for the help and suggestions all
