Hello photoman157,

You will need to go on system preferences>accounts>login options & there you shouod have something about fast user switching. You just need to tick the checkbox.

MacBook changes my full name to ALL CAPS In the past few weeks, every time I type my full name, my MacBook automatically suggests and changes it to ALL CAPS when I press the spacebar. I have checked my LocalDictionary file (which is empty). There's no way to add a shortcut because it requires a space between my first and last name. Why is this happening and why can't I find where this substitution/predictive text is located so I can correct/delete it?
