Thanks a lot! I don`t know if I have anybody who can do that. My best bet is probably just
to start over... We`ll just have to transfer all the music, I just can`t lose 35 Gigs of music...
One big thing just happened though... I am now typing on my new iBook... Got it set up in a flash... I didn`t get it to work because of a little, super silly mistake! That is how it often is, I think, I just assume that it is much more serious and difficult than it is... How super-neat to be on though!!! I am having some problems while typing though, even if I don`t touch the track pad properly, the cursor suddenly moves. The same thing happens at work when I have a fever, and actually I do have one now, so maybe the same thing is happening with this track pad. The one on the Pismo isn`t that sensitive...
Right now I really want to go and start downloading stuff, but I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow, after we have re-installed the OS...
I must say, even if it is odd with a smaller screen, I love the colors and all on this new one. It is really clear...
Thanks again! I am afraid that I will be bugging you guys a lot in the near future...
Aase :)

Actually, you can change user short names, but you have to let someone do it who really knows what they're doing. The tech guy at my school did it for me when I bought my used Pismo.

Hi Ben,
The Password field in the accounts preferences pane *always* displays the same number of dots, regardless of password length or whether there's one there or not. It's an added security measure.
Oooh... :) I just assumed it had to mean that some password had been entered, like it usually has been with other things... I guess that is what they want you to think...
You can't really change the account to your name, at least not fully -- short user names cannot be changed once set.
Too bad... It would make a lot of things easier. iTunes is set so that you have to enter his user name to access it. I guess it can be moved to my user account, but... The obvious easy solution would be to just change the account name and all would be OK, if it weren't for the other challenges, that is...
Language changes don't take full effect until you log out and back in again (or until you quit all open applications, including the Finder and some system services). If you've done that, and some applications still use the wrong language, they may not have Norwegian localisations. Since you speak English, you should drag "English" into second place in the Languages preference pane. This will force every app that doesn't support Norwegian to use English instead.
Changing to English as second, then Swedish and Danish (which I can read) as third and fourth, was the first thing I did. I thought I had logged out and back in, but to be sure, I first double checked the language preference panel, and logged out again and re-started. When it started up, it showed french during the start-up. Then when I tried to log out again, it still showed french. I really can't imagine that it wouldn't show these basic things in Norwegian, all other OS's has done in the past. I just don't get why I can't get rid of it... Maybe the only choice I have, is to start over again.
Hmmm... If I load iTunes and it's contents over to an external HD, re-install the system etc., and load it back, would I be able to access it? Then I won't have the account with the previous owner's name anymore, the one which I have to enter now to be able to access iTunes... Maybe I am forced to move the library first? I have no idea how I can do that, not being used to OS X (or different accounts in general), but I am sure it can't be all that difficult. Can you change the settings for iTunes, so that it becomes available from all accounts?
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Aase :)
