Would Like to Change "appleuser" to my name but don't know how. Help?

Hi,
For starters, I have a late 2009 Macbook (white) and am running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Anyway, I purchased this computer off of someone else and I would like to change what I assume is the home directory (little house logo) from "appleuser" to my name. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything online that is helpful to me. I saw one thing that talked about changing the root login or something like that, but I couldn't even find it when following the steps that were given.
Anyway, like I said I bought the computer off of someone else and seeing the "appleuser" drives me insane so I'd like to change it. Anybody know how?

Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, create a new user account, and log in with it; alternatively, after unlocking the pane, control-click that account, choose Advanced Options, and change it there.

I would like to change my icloud email address but do not know how

I can not open another account because linking email.
The lady in the shop created the email but its not one that I can remember or like, please help to how I can change this-thank you

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

Would like to change my security questions since i don't know the answers

i recently added a new gmail address, changed ITunes e-mail to new one, made a new password. have been getting prompts via the old address, but it will not accept the old password associated with that e-mail. can't get in. can't figure out how to explain this to ITunes. i think i have made progress, but when making changes on my account details, saw that the security questions do not instantly call up answers i know. want to change my security questions. HOW?

iCloud is insisting i sign in under my old id but i added that id to the new id under the new password: So irritating that it won't sync them between my macbook and my ipad!

I received an email from comcast that ai need to change my send email settings but don't know how

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

I have purchased my first smart phone. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5. I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appericated.

I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck.

I have just created my first form and saved it as a PDF. The editable boxes have a background colour of Blue and I would like to change this. Can it be done?

Hi guys i have just created my new form and it was very easy. however once i convert it to a PDF the editable boxes in the form are blue and i would like to change the colour. does any know if this can be done?

The blue background is the field highlighting that you have the option of turning off. If you don't see the purple bar on top with Highlight Fields toggle button, it should displayed by clicking the top icon (purplish) in the navigation pane on the left

I would like to change the project page layouts, but setup option in Project Superuser are not available. How can I change the selected page layouts?

Hi
I updated the page layouts for a project in Project Management. Now I woujld like to change those chosen page layouts, but the setup options for the project are no longer available for me to change. How can I update the original chosen page layouts (for performance management) to different layouts or change the chosen layouts to the default (blank) layouts?
Thanks

AppleMan,
It all began inside the settings of my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A when somehow the selection got switched from 1280 x 720 to that other setting with so-called 25fps. Also, I don't know whether the mishap occurred before or after I took my new footage.
I edited the clips last night and now they are on my blog and channel and they seem ok but slightly fuzzy.
I used a Sanyo VPC-HD2000A .7x wide angle lens with macro and I notice that when I zoomed in to the little sun conure, the picture blurred. I think that might be something that happens when one zooms the focus.
Also, I was born and raised to a teenager in Hawaii, but now Southern California has me in its grip.

We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen, but for some reason it's been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can buy songs etc individually by clicking on their price (not the downward pointing arrow next to the price)
