Changing Primary User
I bought my wife a new laptop and inhereited her iMac (intel Chip). How do I change who the computer setup identifies as the owner and primary user of the computer now?
iMac (Intel), Mac OS X (10.4.10)
PatGmac,
I am wondering a similar question. In a nutshell, I got our system up and running, and when I did, I was the "first user", consequently with the first one designated as ADMIN. I then added my wife as an account and provided her with ADMIN status as well. I want to basically delete myself off the system so it is essentially her computer. Can I do that and she will have all the main privileges? This all stems from a problem with one of my wife's favorite websites, Shutterfly. Their Upload Assistant for iPhoto only works for the first user of the system. Even after I have done the following in various orders and combinations: 1. Made her an ADMIN, 2. Reduced myself to STANDARD, 3. Given her ownership of iPhoto and of the Shutterfly Plugin, 4. Transferred the Shutterfly Plugins to her Library, etc. It just does not work and Shutterfly has said they know it and can't really fix it....whatever. And before you say it (as everyone else has the same idea...and believe me....I certainly agree with them), she is not willing to go to another type of site because she loves Shutterfly.....which just kills me. But anyways.....just thought I would pick your brain some. Thanks.
