Can't change Mac's name...

A few month ago I set up a new Mac with Leopard. Now I changed its name in the Preferences. The machine has the new name, but when I start Terminal the "old" name still exists...
What can I do to set the Mac's name in the Terminal too?

If you change the name using System Preferences->Sharing->Computer Name then it should show up in the Terminal. I have no idea why it isn't working (it is here), but I will suggest that you post Unix and Terminal issues to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    Try the fix for yourself.  It's harmless. Just follow TD's directions explicitly.

  • How can I change a column name in table (JDeveloper 10.1.3.3)?

    I'd like to change a table column name, for example instead of "FirstName" I'd like "Name".
    Here is the preview: http://img208.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=86575_firstname_122_578lo.JPG
    Thank You in advance!

    Now I have following problem: When I change "Label text" to column which has "Combo box" (Department insted of DepartmentId) I do not have my combo box anymore, just DepartmentId (Number). I have created binding... (DepartmentId -> Department Name) Why is this happening?

    how can i change a contact name pronunciation on siri

    under contacts, there's a field for "phonetic first/last name." Just spell it how it sounds and Siri will get it.
    If you don't find the field, go into edit mode and choose "add field".

    My contacts are listed by telephone numbers instead of names in my messages since I upgraded to OS8? How can I change it to names?l,

    Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
    1) is your Apple ID listed there?
    2)  Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
    3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

  • Can I change the network name?

    Can I change the network name on a newly set up Airport wireless network? I have just set up a new 3Gb Time Capsule and got so involved with trying to make it work that I just accepted the suggested name.

    I have a 2Tb in process.
    If this means that you are currently backing up data to the Time Capsule, let that process complete before you make any other changes.
    I think I can see how to change the network password in 'Keychain'. Is that ok?
    No, you change the wireless network password the same way that you would change the wireless network name....using the same window in AirPort Utility that is pictured above.
    Simply Edit / backspace out the current password and enter the new password that you want to use. Do the same to Verify and then click Update to save the changes.

    I believe the Tab is just named according to the name of the folder you are in. I don't think there's any way to change that.
