Change the last user logon name
I often need to logon to a users computer as the administrator, mostly it happens when the user goes to lunch or at night. The user returns, tries to login forgets to change their username or forgets wht it is.
A word of warning when editing the registry! be careful or you could end-up with a computer that won’t boot if you accidently change or delete the wrong information.
To avoid this you can use the registry editor to set the user name before you logoff . To get into the registry in Windows 7 or Windows XP press Windows logo key+R and type regedit. Once you find the key right click and select modify and change the username.
Windows XP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/DefaultUserName
Windows 7
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Authentication/LogonUI/LastLoggedOnUser

iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPad – error 0xE800eFFE
I received this error 0xE8003FFE while updating the iPad IOS to 5.11, the update when along smoothly until a message appeared “An update to the carrier settings for your iPad is available. Would you like to install it now?” I said yes and received this error.
How to fix
A profile we installed to stop users from installing and updating apps caused the error, all we needed to was remove the profile, click the update button in iTunes and apply the profile again.
Business users
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Go to Profiles remove the one that has “Installing Apps” restriction (you may need to speak with your IT department)
Personal users
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Go to Restrictions (your passcode will be needed)
4. Turn on “Installing Apps”
5. Resync your iPad
