With my list of user profiles an extra one is always provided called "other", how do I turn that off?

On my start up page or home page my list of user profiles include my authorized users as well as Guest, even when guest is turned off, as well as "other". Who is other, where did it come from, how do I get rid of it?

"Other" is root user. Root user is enabled. Disable it.
Follow the instruction given here.

When you click the Edit menu, select "Disable Root User".

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password.  How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

    Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password.  Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on.  Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again.  Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request.  How can I turn this off and still have protection?

    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
    I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

    My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

    All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
    the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

    Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.
    If that doesn't work : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Аdding department export data from a survey list from user profile services in Sharepoint 2013.

    When voting, survey Sharepoint 2013, there is a field created by whom. But the name is not enough. Necessary to add the department name of the profile data in the exported list excel.

    Hi,
    The OOTB feature “Export to Spreadsheet” won’t contain the department in the exported report, we will need to create a custom one programmatically.
    We can use SharePoint Object Model to retrieve the data from the Survey and the User Profile Service, then generate an Excel Spreadsheet with the data we need.

  • Sharepoint 2010: user information list Vs user profile

    I wrote code for getting user details based on username. I am fetching data from user profile using user profile service. But recently I came to know about "user information list" which stores same data as that of user profile.
    So, My question is which will be better choice : user profile service OR user information list to get user information ?

    User Information list has limitation, firstly its hidden, it can be viewed only administrators.
    Also you will face issue when you migrate your application to SharePoint 2013.
    If you want quick way of know who has permissions you can use this list, but sometime you may end up with outdated user profile(properties) information. 
    Better try to use User profile service wherever possible.

  • How to update "Encrypt with UserKey" after Windows User Profile replacement?

    A problem with my User Profile required that the files be backed up, the profile deleted, a new profile created and my files restored. I have several SSIS projects built in Visual Studio 2012 that use "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey". I assume the
    "UserKey" is based on the SID or GUID of my User Profile. Now when I open these projects I get the Warning:
    Warning 2 Warning loading SSISProject.dtproj: Warning: Failed to decrypt sensitive data in project with a user key. You may not be the user who encrypted this project, or you are not using the same machine that was used to save the project. If the sensitive data is a parameter value, the value may be required to run the package on the Integration Services server. SSISProject.dtproj 0 0
    Is there a way to reset the UserKey in an existing project to the key for my new Profile? Is the value derived and used for encryption stored in the .dtproj file? If so can I copy that value from a new SSIS project into the .dtproj file for my old projects?
    There has to be some way to "transfer ownership" of an SSIS project.
     

    There has to be some way to transfer "ownership" of SSIS projects between developers. Forget about my specific case of my profile being recreated. Let's say I built this SSIS project and was required to use Encrypt with UserKey. I leave
    the company. They ask another developer to make changes to the project. My old "ownership" of the project should be somehow transferable to the new developer. It shouldn't be tied to my ID (which no longer exists at the company) in perpetuity. Microsoft
    has to have some way to transfer "ownership" of SSIS Projects with "Encrypt with UserKey". It's such a common use case I can't believe they wouldn't provide for it.
    No, there is no way . This option is the default and it is actually the worst option precisely because it is useless in team development environment. Use
    EncryptSensitiveWithPassword option just like Arthur suggested and you should be fine.
