Changing user name

2010-11-27 Thread Severin Crisp
I recently installed a larger boot disk in my G5/Leopard and  
successfully Installed an uptodate 10.5.8 and migrated everything from  
the old one.  However, for a variety of reasons I have finished up  
with a user name I would  like to change back to what I want.

How to do this is well documented as for example at
http://www.ehow.com/how_6834318_do-leopard-there-new-owner_.html
I follow the various steps, logged in as root user, and all goes fine  
until creating the new account.  Name is OK, so is shortname and  
setting password.  Create Account flags the short name as already in  
use, as is correct but it does not get to ask if I wish to use this  
Home Folder for the new account.   What am I missing here?

Re: Changing user name

2010-11-27 Thread Neil Houghton
Hi Severin,

I¹m working from memory here ­ so regard it as ideas rather than gospel ;o)

If I understand you correctly you are wanting to change the User Name (ie
the long name) but not the short name. In that case, I think you would not
want to create a new user ­ you would just change the Account name in the
System prefs ³accounts² pane.

The short name is what OSX uses for, for example, to name your home folder
and is what identifies the user.

The procedure you linked to is for when you want to change the short name
(and presumably the long name as well) ­ you rename the user folder to the
new short name, create a new user with the new short name and then tell it
to use the existing (renamed) folder for the new account.

Please forgive if I have missed the point or misunderstood you.


Cheers



Neil

For sale: Macbook Air C2D 1.6Ghz/2GB/80GB HD

Hi everyone,

I have a Macbook Air for sale - 
13 LCD
1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
80GB HD
illuminated keyboard, 
web camera
recently (last month!) upgraded battery
mint condition - wrist and topcase clear matte protectors installed
balance of applecare warranty (to Feb 2011)
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and iLife '09 installed
Toffee Leather slip case included
Original box and DVDs
no longer needed as the wife wanted a smaller computer (!!)

Asking price $800 local pickup/delivery after hours in perth metro area. Local 
(WA) buyers preferred due to auspost rules over lithium ion batteries


I also have a macbook air DVD drive available for $50 for purchase with 
computer only. The plastic over the cord is frayed but works fine.  It was 
purchased with the computer so applecare applies (if purchaser doesn't mind 
waiting till I get to the Apple store I can get it replaced once stock is 
available, or the purchaser has until feb 2011 to take it in to the apple store 
for a free replacement)



Please email me off list if interested c...@mac.com


Thanks!

Dave Choy

We register quite a few domains on behalf of clients, and over the years have 
used a dozen or so registrars. With quite few we have had minor problems, but 
almost never significant enough to result in the domain not being set up 
correctly. Our current favoured registrar is Webcity - they are cheaper than 
most, they use Enetica (a long-established company) to do the actual 
registration, and their domain management interface is OK. Netregistry is a 
very well-established company but they can be VERY expensive, particularly for 
any related services.

Hosting is a much more complex decision, and depends greatly on what you plan 
to do. Some of the USA based hosting companies give you enormous amounts of 
resources (lots of storage space, multiple sites, many email addresses, endless 
sub-domains, lots of applications, etc.) for a similar price to many local 
companies which offer very limited features (for example one web site, few 
email addresses and subdomains charged extra, etc.). However if you do not want 
multiple sites and the other stuff, a local company might be suitable.

It seems to me that your first task is to ensure that GlassFish or whatever you 
need is available from any prospective hosting service - I am not familiar with 
it but many hosting services may not support it. Lots of hosting services offer 
a choice of Unix or Windows, Mac is much less common.

Regards

Geoff

Unless you know the meaning of double-digit numbers?
The meaning of my double-digits is Generous to a fault, this number brings

Hi Kevin,

I think that 1 GB will be ample. I have a 1 GB Vodafone plan. I am a frequent

I have disabled wireless to get more use of my phone data plan quota and to get 
a longer battery life.

Hi Severin,

Wow … 77 Sunset Strip … now you have me reminiscing ;-)
Aaahh,  Stu Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist jr)  Kookie (Edd Byrnes) in the TV Series.

I also had matching double digits this year, but I'm not about to let all WAMUG 
know which one :o)
Unless you know the meaning of double-digit numbers?
The meaning of my double-digits is Generous to a fault, this number brings 
financial ups and downs. It is extremely loyal and loving. Often successful in spite of 
itself.

he he hee

Happy 77 on Tuesday!

Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks for those kind thoughts, Ronni!   I have now really recovered my self esteem and 
composure and will continue to enjoy the privilege of advancing years from 
now on - reinforced by getting to the nice sounding double seven on Tuesday.

Got it in one, thanks Neil, now why did I not see it that way!   I plead

Kind regards

Hey Severin,

Don't be hard on yourself.
Advancing years is a 'privilege' not an 'excuse'  ;-) … especially for a man 
who graduated with BSc (Hons) in Physics and went on to complete a PhD.
Plus numerous achievements throughout the years.

Cheers,
Ronni
