Why do I still have a macuser account after renaming it?

I'm a PC user helping my mom set up an iMac refurb ruining 10.6.3.
I wanted to change the default user account to the same name on her old iMac. I changed Macuser to Willard in Accounts, changed the password and logged out & back in again as Willard. The home folder on her old iMac was named Willard so I wanted it to be the same here but the new home folder was still named Macuser.
I followed the directions on the Apple Support page for enabling & logging in as Root and renamed the home folder to Willard. But when I logged back in as Willard there were now three folders in Users: Shared, Willard & Macuser! The Macuser folder had the house icon as if it was the home folder but any files created on the desktop appeared in the Desktop folder under Willard.
In addition to this there is this padlock that has to be unlocked at every step in System Preferences. When I click on that the username for authentication is Macuser! The password for Willard still works however. So now I'm not sure what the actual name of the account is though I think it is Willard.
I'd also like to know if there's a way to turn off this excessive authentication. This is my mom's computer, not NORAD.

Why do I still have all contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud?

Why do I still have all my contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud? I cannot access my contacts on icloud.com. Me.com contacts are also no longer available and redirect to icloud.com

Please always post your system when you have a query: the answer to many questions is different depending on system, and this is one of those questions.
Let me guess: you have Snow Leopard or Leopard (or even Tiger) and when you migrated from MobileMe and were warned that you needed Lion you ignored it.
You cannot sync contacts to iCloud on anything earlier than Lion. When you migrated your contacts were removed from MobileMe but because you don't have Lion the process could not place them on the iCloud server.
There is no workaround for this other than downgrading from Lion - not a process you want to undertake lightly. If you have an iPhone you can sync your contacts using iTunes.
If my guess is wrong, and you do have Lion, that's a whole different can of digital worms.

Why do we still have the starred playlist?

now that we have the new checkmarks instead of the stars, why do I still have a starred playlist? I cant get rid of it... I just "saved" all of my starred playlists, and now I've essentially got a "legacy" starred playlist and a "new" starred playlist (which is the new checkmark system) please get rid of legacy features, it only complicates software.

Hello!
When you click the plus sign, you are adding a song to Your Music.
When you add a song to Starred, you add the song to the playlist.
It's similar to liking a video on YouTube.
Hope this clears things up for you!

MobileMe to iCloud - Still have two Apple accounts...

So, finally was able to get MobileMe merged over, however on my iPhone 4, I still have MobileMe and iCloud logged into iCloud (mobile me says it's iCloud now). I was under the impression that this would merge the two disparate accounts (the Apple Store/Forums account vs. Mobile Me) into one, but apparently it doesnt. Also, now that I have successfully logged into iCloud on this device it wants to 'merge' my bookmarks (which were synced via MobileMe) on the phone to the iCloud. Is it smart enough not to duplicate? I've had several personal horror stories (although I've backed up everything) with iTools/MM/etc., over the years, so I'm curious.
Anyway, any ideas or something assuage my concern?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can do this. But it is easier on a computer, do you have access to a computer. If so what OS does it run.

Why do I still have 9006 error while trying to install i06 on my New iPad?

I have tried disabling all accelators on my browser, even adjusting to the lowest level of protection, but I still have this particular error.

That's what 'transfer' meant?
I really don't use another Apple ID for music, and I'm keeping the iPhone so I guess I'll be ok then, I can download music on the iPhone now without any problems after I hit Transfer, thank you

Why do I still have Pro 8 when I've upgraded to Pro 9?

Upgraded to Pro 9. Still showing Pro 8 in Applications folder. This is normal? Also, Pro 9 looks identical to pro 8. Zero difference in appearance. Again, normal? Pretty weak upgrade IMHO. Thanks

Suppose you are working collaboratively with someone that only has Logic 8. If they send you a Logic 8 file to work on and you open it in Logic 9 and save your version and send it back, they won't be able to open the file you sent. If you still have the option of working in Logic 8 that would solve that problem.
This has been the standard for a while now so that it's not so odd that it would leave the older version on your system. When you installed the upgrade from Logic 8, Logic 7 was left on your system.

Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow. I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day. There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
here are some of the things I'd love to see:
- support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
- an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
- industry compliant tagging
- robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
- robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
- global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
- integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
- integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
- an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out. Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
- integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac. I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.
Rob
