Why do I see a guest on login

Single user system, with admin account only. No guests or other accounts. Startup formerly showed my name and asked for password. Now there is new first screen that asks me to choose me or the guest account to login. I don't want or need this. Any idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. Disabling guest at login in system pref does not change it.

John.
I had this same issue, only I could not see my account at all, only guest account, of which I had none. This resolution worked for me and is posted on another thread here.
I found a solution to this issue on the Macintouch website. An unknown reader had a couple of suggestions and his/her preferred method worked perfectly. I now have no "guest" login option on the startup screen, just a normal prompt for a user login and password. I hope this helps someone else. And to the unknown Macintouch reader, Take a Bow!

Re:
After upgrading to 10.7.2, I now have a persistent Guest User on the login screen, despite having disabled Guest User in the login preferences (and rebooted, for good measure). And it appears to allow guest login, despite clearly being disabled in the System Preferences. Anybody know how to get rid of this unwelcome guest? Thanks in advance.
Two methods:
My preferred: Click on the Apple, System Preferences, Security & Privacy, Click the Lock to Make Changes, enter your computer administrator username and password, click the checkbox On for "Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked." Then quit System Preferences.
Alternate: Click on the Apple, System Preferences, iCloud, Cancel (deleting documents in iCloud), click the checkbox Off for "Find My Mac". Then quit System Preferences. (The reason this is not my preferred is that it turns off the Find My Mac feature, and I like having this feature because it enables me to locate and remote lock/wipe my laptop if sometime steals it.)

Cant see the option to login as microsoft account on system after windows 8 was refreshed with 8.1

My system came with Windows8 installation. And I created my windows account on this.
Later it prompted for 8.1 update and I went with that.
After 8.1 got installed, I also created my local account.
I logged in as local account (also admin account) and then logged out. first issue came as system errored out once I tried to login as microsoft account now. I dont know why.. It was not wrong password error. It just said error logging into microsoft account
Now I do not see an option to login as microsoft account. PLease note, I do not even see this listed in user accounts.
There are other issues too, like for every folder, I need to specifically provide admin access even if I am logged in as local administrator account. But I am fine with these issues.Obviously, they irritate :).
But I would like to resolve the microsoft account issue first.. HOw do I get it back ..

Hi,
Please check your Microsoft Account status in User Account Manager：Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts
In addition, please access to the path of registry to check your Microsoft Account if it locate there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
If problem persists, the workaround method may be need you delete and readd your Microsoft Account on your computer.

Guest Access Login

I have the EA6500. Is there a way to make the guest access a regular sign in like the main SSID and not via a web interface? I have other routers that act as repeaters and the guest network wont work on those. I am guessing it is because of the different login type. Why does Linksys do the guest network like this? Thanks

Sorry no. Linksys is the only manufacturer to do this. All other manufacturers have normal logins with full wireless security. Given the SSID you do not know if you are on their 'regular' network or a guest network.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
Go To the Artwork tab
Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why dose not see the call waiting notification when other party in a call with some one ?

why dose not see the call waiting notification when other party in a call with some one ?

Because that is not a feature of the iPhone (or of most phones). If someone does not answer when you call, it means they do not want to or cannot talk to you at that time. They could be on another call or they could be simply busy doing something else. Why does it matter which?

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own?

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own? Opening organizer in Photoshop Elements for the first time, I see pictures of my husband, but pictures in my picture library are not there. I do not want to see my husband's pictures. And he did not give me sharing permission. What can I do?

Do you have two different catalogues (One for you and other one for your husband)
if yes,
In Elements organizer go to File>Manage Catalogs and check if you have any catalogue listed of your name.
if yes, double click on that catalogue and it will open the media on that catalogue.

Why did Adobe see fit to eliminate, "Print Without Color Mangement"?

Why did Adobe see fit to eliminate, "Print Without Color Mangement", and when are they going to restore it? None of their workarounds is really adequate when printing through a rip. Prior to CS5 it was all so simple. Now, I keep CS4 onboard just for printing. Is there actually a good rationale for the elimination of such a useful function?

Adobe was forced to remove the NCA mode because the current OS X Mac print pipeline and print drivers quit supporting it. Photoshop CS5 & 6 and LR 3 & 4 can't send unmanaged data to the Mac pipeline; it'es either application managed color or printer managed color and iehter case, the data gets modified by the pipeline–which means the current apps can't send data with NCM.
The printer utility can do a workaround to do so.
Note, this isn't yet an issue on Windows but for cross platform uniformity, it was removed there as well. So, if you want to yell at somebody, go yell at Apple...
And no, it ain't coming back...

Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT201317 why cant i see my photos

why cant i see my photos when i log onto my icloud account on my pc

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
