[QUOTE="WhitewaterDave, post: 1640571, member: 290758"] [b]FileVault[/b] Hi and thanks for the reply. I was looking elsewhere for the reason this is happening. I has to do with the encrypted filesystem on my Macbook. The installer for OS X Yosemite encrypts the filesystem for privacy and security. I couldn''t find the actual reason for the "update needed" user on the login screen. In order to get rid of it, I have to turn off File Vault by accessing system preferences ----> Security & Privacy ----> FileVault. FileVault must be turned off. Click the lock icon, enter the admin password, and turn off FileVault. The system has to restart and it will tell you it needs to restart. Ounce the desktop has reached, the FileVault will start decrypting the filesystem. This can take a lot of time if you have a lot of files. Hopefully this will help out someone else. [/QUOTE]
