Why does my Mac share settings with other computers?

My macbook Pro shares settings like my google chrome settings and saved passwords on google chrome with my grandmothers computer. I feel bad because every time she goes to facebook or something I am signed in. We share her network at her house but only sometimes my main network is my house. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?

What is the exact problem? Is it that your current network does not support providing Internet access to more than one computer at a time? Regardless, what is the make & model of your network's router and modem? If your network has more than one router, what is the make & models of each of them and how are they configured?

  • Why does the GPS not work with other programs?

    It works ok with Blackberry maps. But there are about 5 or 6 programs that I use that will not lock GPS. The one that really florred me was the camera. I sit there and sit there waiting for the gps to lock on (turn from red to white) and nothing happens. We all know that google maps doesnt work (it only will use cell towers. After the STORM disater you would have thought RIM would have been a bit more careful with thier OS's. Hope they get a fix out soon.

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to Mavericks (10.9.3) and the organizer now appears to work.
    However, it is extremely slow in previewing photos that were already on
    the Mac and does not appear to be able to download photos from a Canon
    5DIII. It appears to start but then spins and spins. It ran overnight
    and was unresponsive this morning.
    Do you have any ideas as to what to do to make this work?
    Will

    Help my computor says the card is full!! checking it says that OTHERS is 194 .
    I am not familiar with the term "card".  Is this a flash drive? What is the exact message?  What is the path to the folder?
    Take a picture of message & post here. see below for how.
    Best to have greater than 2gig of free space.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things.
    Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

    Empty the trash.  Space isn't reclaimed until you empty the trash in three places!

  • Why does my Mac keep freezing with shortcuts in CS6?

    Currently here's the situation
    I'm on an OSX Lion machine (10.7.4) with 7GB of memory.
    I have the following shortcuts in Illustrator:
    Cmd +Shift + = : To export a file
    Cmd +3 : Select the same fill color
    Cmd + 4: Select the same stroke color
    Cmd + . : Rotate
    Cmd + , : Reflect an object
    It doesn't matter which shortcut it is what will happen is that Illustrator and my Mac will freeze up not allowing me to force quit the program. This will happen randomly and the only way around it is to restart the mac and restore default preferences via Cmd + Option + Shift when opening the program.
    I have tried re-installing the suite and it still happens, so I'm wondering is it the specific shortcuts I am using or is it the computer? I only ask because Illustrator has no issues when everything is defaulted, however when I add the shortcuts this issue will happen.
    Thank you in advance.

    Is it just these custom shortcuts that are crashing the machine, or any shortcut?
    What did you do the the exisitng shorcuts, did you disabel them. (eg: CMD 3 is hide).
    You may want to try using Fkeys instead for your custom shortcuts, you just want to check the :Usea ALL F1, F2, etc.

  • Why does my mac have issues with flash player videos

    I was trying to watch a couple different videos last night for work and they wanted to use flash player.. however every time i tried to click on them to open them my macbook pro popped a message up saying that the flash player crashed that it would send a report to apple. how can i get pass this and fix it? i already tried downloading another flash player

    Install Flash from here an try again
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Also download and run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    OnyX won't hurt anything, it will clean out all the cache and other files that might be corrupted and causing your problems, they will get rebuilt and your problem may disappear.
    Also if there is something else wrong, OnyX's checkers may catch a larger issue which you tell us here so we can recommend further actions based upon that information.
    Always backup your data to a external drive, cd/dvd's, (in addiiton to TimeMachine if your using that) so whatever happens at least that's safe.

    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.

  • Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Usually means you don't have a bootable system installed so the OS is looking for a bootable system on the network.
    Does the computer eventually start up shortly after the globe appears? If so then open Startup Disk preferences, select your boot volume and click on the Restart button. If this is not the case then you need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's).  You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display
