How can I change the name of the HD and Home Folder?

Recently, I had a problem with my computer in which a prohibition sign came up instead of apple logo at start up. I took it to an Apple Store, and they told me that the mistake was in the HD, that they needed to restart the system, so I told them OK, but then it turned out that it wasn't that, it was the cable which connected the HD to the motherboard which was damaged.
They obviously put the name of the HD to another one, and the home folder as well.
So my HD name is "Apple HD" and I want to change it to "Macintosh HD".
My home folder is named "eduardo" and I want to change it to "Eduardo".
I am currently running on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)
My MBP is a mid 2012, model 9,2.
Thanks! Hope u can help me!

Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo diskutil rename / "Macintosh HD"
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password as prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Diskutil is a disk utility.
Rename is a command.
/ is your main drive.
Note that there is a space before the slash mark and after it.

How can I change the Country and Credit card Apple ID without loose the app installed ?

Hi, I move from Brazil to Qatar and keep using my account at Brazil since I have a credit card there and the old address.
Today Ireceived a message when I was updating my app at my iPad that I should change my payment method that was rejected (???), I try to update and keep the same message... So now maybe better to use address and card from Qatar.
I could not understand how can I change the country and shop since everything at the address is linked to Brazil.
Also I'm afraid to lose the installed app...
Please, a step by step will help a lot, I have a very low computer experience ...

You won't lose apps that are installed.   You will lose the ability to update them
Business with the App stores is restricted to those stores in your formal country of residence (your billing address) and a bank supported credit card from that same country.   You can buy and update apps with those details only in that country.
If you have established residences and bank supported accounts in other countries you can also use those.   You can buy and update apps in those countries using those details.
You cannot interchange them.   You cannot merge IDs or purchase details.

Yes, you can add the following line to your formsweb.cfg section :
HTMLbodyAttrs=onLoad='javascript:self.moveTo(100,100)'
if you are in SEPERATEFRAME = FALSE
Or Set_Window_Property( FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, POSITION, X, Y ) ;

Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

Hi,
If you mean to customize the desktop, you can use themes, desktop backgrounds, window colors, and screen savers to personalize your desktop.
If you want some free themes and desktop backgrounds to use, there are lots to choose from in the

How can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the duration of the original audio clips?

This question is for Logic Express.
I have many very short audio clips that I recorded into my project.
I want to adjust the project tempo so that I can use the snap grid to make a beat out of my short audio clips. But when I change the project tempo, it automatically adjusts the lengths of my audio clips.
So how can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the original audio clips?

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?
It seems to be going to one default folder every time I open that I didn't suggest.
I'm using Bridge CS4
Thanks ahead
Line

If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to autoload Bridge on Startup. Either disable that option in PS or shut Bridge down before you shut off the computer.
Message was edited by: curt y
If you always want it to start on a specific folder you can leave it on autoload, go to folder you want it to start on then exit Bridge. It should load this each time in future. Many of us discourage the autoload option as it can lead to other problems as well.

Can anyone please help me to understand how can we change the name and description of the process chains in Production in SAP BI?

open the process chain and go to edit mode and then press Ctrl+F6 for a rename... you can only rename the description and not the technical name.
If you want to edit PC in production - esp one which has been transported - go to transport connection and change the object changeability for the same to everything changeable ( right click on the same to get this option )

How can I change the view of Download Folder in Dock

I used to have my Download Folder in my Dock show up as a vertical string of icons with the latest at the bottom, when I clicked on the Folder. I recently had to drag the Downloads Folder back into the Dock after it had disappeared from there. After doing that I now notice when I click on the Downloads icon in the Dock, it now shows up as a page full of icons. I prefer the original vertical listing. How can I change it back?
Hope someone can help on this one. Thanks.

That's not an option. Under Display As, you have the view options for Downloads
