10.11.16 - guest account

Hi any idea why the last OS X updated activated even guest account if his tour of in the user account. It shows start up for access safari only. It happened a few updates ago then disappeared al by himself. Retina MB Pro 2012 model.

This guest account in Safari only is a security feature associated with find my Mac.

You should leave it there - it can help you recover your mac in case it was stolen.

Your other option is to disable find my Mac.

See a guest (very limited) account to the login window doesn't have to be much more of an annoyance.

  • Virus or Trojan or something else that will activate the guest account?

    My computer is very slow, and every time I wake it from sleep I notice that the guest account has been enabled.  So I go into Control Panel and then users and groups and disable the guest account unblocking of the user and groups with my password, remove the check mark beside guest account and lock user accounts.  However, even if I am away from my computer, the check mark next to guest account gets back and the guest account enabled.

    Nobody else uses my computer.  Does anyone know of a Virus, Trojan, Bot, or anything else that might be my computer hijacking.  I have ClamXav, but nothing was found after several scans.  Help please.

    It is not a virus. Viruses don't do that sort of thing.

    Earlier, I think I've found that putting on find my Mac would automatically allow the guest account. Not sure if this is still true today. You can check by turning off to find my Mac, disable the guest account and then verify.

    "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

    1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

    2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

    3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

    4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

    5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

    Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.

  • How to enable the guest account play the administrators WMP video

    When the guest account is used, they cannot play or access music on the drive of the windows media administrator. Wow can it be permitted so that they can play the files already stored?

    I guess that you have Windows 7, the principles are the same regardless of which version of Windows you use, but can be slightly different.

    The guest account is extremely limited on what it can do and what he has access to. The folder and files must be in a public place, such as the user Public folders.

    It is recommended that you create a new user account standard for better control. You can then give the new user account access to a folder.
