Changed username on Mac. Wish it was a dream (nightmare)
Yes, I've read the warning - the word "might" made me take a chance and I changed the username admin with my name, nothing else.
When I rebooted, I was like a stranger. OK, so the Mac is new (for me) and I had a big thing for her and I found my stuff. But how can I go forward? Which user now become my default user? The minute seems to me to be an admin, but if I want my stuff I have to go through a bit of a session to find - as if I added a layer to the process just to get into my computer.
I realize account I can't go back or cancel or system restore. And I don't make that mistake of user name once again. But please can someone tell me how to go ahead? Thank you
How many user accounts you have now? You can use any account that you are interested in. Do you need to combine the 2 accounts? I'm not sure I understand the problem right, but here are some links that may help.
User account - copy files between accounts
The user account - data migration
Short name for the user account change

I was about to change username and typing of accident the "locked" button, how to unlock? Using Windows Vista. Thank you
Hello
- What do you see on the screen?
- It requires a username and password?
To "unlock" a computer, you simply press your ctrl + alt + delete simultaneously and enter the password of the user account.
If you are not able to enter a name (and a blank password), then press the power button on the computer. If it does not close on its own, you may need to hold the power for 10 seconds or more.

Hello.
My problem is another change to my mac address mac address! I mean when I click Device Manager > network adapters > then click on properties of my network card > then click on advance tab > then click on the property of network address...
We have two Options here for Network Address.One is missing and one is the value you should enter a Mac address custom.
But I wish to address not present for my connection.but I have a problem here.when I don't put not present and then click ok, you think that later, I use my own address.but of mac, it is not true!
When I open cmd and type ipconfig/all, there show me information as the physical address for my network card! So it shows me the wrong mac address.because I know my mac address is one another thing! I want to say is of me D8:5 D 00:16:E6:19:AB:C9.but ipconfig show: 4 c: B1:D9:13.
Now I want to know how can I change this wrong with my original Mac address mac address without I enter the default network address!.
tank you cherish!Hello.
Have you tried all of these steps? This is how to correctly allocate your own MAC address:
1.
Click on the "Start" button and click on 'run '. Type "cmd" and press "enter."
- 2
Type "net config rdr" and press "enter." Note the long string of numbers and letters in braces on the screen. Leave the command prompt window when you are finished.
- 3
Click on the "Start" button and click on 'run '. Type "regedt32" and press "enter."
- 4
Navigate to the registry subkey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" using the navigation on the left side of the window pane.
- 5
Click each subkey in the right pane (from the subkey is 0000 and passing by each in turn) and check the "NetCfgInstanceID" for each key until you find the one that matches the value that you noted in step 2.
- 6
Click twice on the "NetworkAddress" key, then enter the new MAC address you want the network card to have.
- 7
Click on 'OK '. Restart your computer to apply the change to the settings.

I was using my MacBook today and it crashed and the dock turned silver, I restarted the mac and it was always the same, then I loaded the disk utility and checked the disk and it says disk is fine. It flashes inconsistently gray and the dock has transformed money! I tried to restore Mac OS and then also the same!
OS El CapitanThis can help:
Reboot safe mode (it is a slow process):
-stop of the mac
-Start up the mac in shift, press and hold until you see appear it to progress bar, so you can let go
-When everything started, connect
-Once connected, stop the mac once again, nothing else is necessary.
-restart normally.

original title: Vista settings will not save. Why?
I have a problem. When you use this computer (and this computer has Windows Vista), I noticed from lately, when I change my settings on the 2 online games, I play, I can disconnect turn it back on and notice the changes eventually reversed to where it was before.
It's getting boring because it is not happened in the past and when I noticed it happened for the 2nd game after seeing this constantly on my 1st game, it came to me that it is not the games that does this: it is the computer itself.
What should I do so that the computer can actually record setting changes I made?
Hey, Andrew,.
Most likely a configuration of settings on your computer file is damaged. You can take a look at this article that Blizzard has published:You can also ask your question on the forums of World of Warcraft: -
What has changed on my computer? I was able to create folders and can no more do this... I have Windows 7 with Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010... before uninstalling some software yesterday, I could create a new folder. now I can create is no longer a new folder.
How can I solve this problem?Thank youHello Annette,.
It is a problem for a long time under Windows 7. To solve it I recommend that you only install the following program - FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .
After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.
Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards

Despite his uniform and fixed on my form of task settings, I get thickness variable and facing interiors of the curves. I really wish it was just smooth and uniform. Any ideas?
This question cannot be resolved when you use the brush with an effect.
It cannot be solved with the form of the task.
Try just drawing on larger scale, maybe then it won't happen.

I am charged monthly fees for Adobe photography Plan we had subscribed to a former employee. I need to change username, but received a number of defective phone to do. Please contact me to change username so I don't have to pay 50% cancellation fees. Thank you.

There is no option to change the plan of one Adobe ID on the other.

Then you can plan on the same subscription using the other Adobe ID.
