Change system folders name in mavericks

Hi all, there is a way to change the system folder name in Mavericks as described in this article? http://www.macworld.com/article/1046866/renamesystemfolders.html
Thank you

Hi,
Just in case someone search for this argument.
I wanted to change system folders name because some folders wasn't translated in my language in OSx (it's a long story the "why").
Now I just find a solutions in this article: http://www.cnet.com/news/home-and-system-directory-names-not-translating-in-os-x /
So I'm happy to say "thank you touch command"
Thanks again,

  • Changing home directory name in Mavericks

    I'm logged in as root and have navigated to the /Users directory. I'm instructed to change the name as I would any other Mac folder although it appears to be read-only. Any thoughts as to why?
    TIA,
    David

    There must be some corporate directive that Apple support is not allowed to use the command line. That makes this process 3 times harder than it should be. Follow these instructions instead: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872

  • Change System Form Name

    Hi,
       I am trying to chagne the name of the "Sales Quotation" to something else. Pl. note I am totally new to B1 SDK's and .NET also. Any help will be appriciated.
       Awaiting replies.

    Dear Premal Mistry,
    Please try following UI API sample code

  • Changing the display name of project file folders for TOC

    I'm interested in changing the display names of the project file folders for my TOC. For example, I want to name the folder "01-intro" so that it is short and lowercase. But I'd like the TOC to say "Introduction to the System." I know I can manually rename the folder in the TOC either through its properties or by right-clicking => Rename, but I auto-create the TOC occasionally and I don't want to have to rename every folder every single time.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to set a persistent property for the folder so that its display name in the TOC is different? I am using RoboHelp 9. I saw an option called "Detail" in the properties of the WebHelp layout in RoboHelp 8 that seems like it may have done that, but I no longer see this property in RoboHelp 9.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I think the lack of response confirms that if you are going to use Auto Create, you have to accept the way it is.

  • How do I change my short name on Yosemite OS X? I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.

    I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.
    There was a text box after I clicked on the lock after I went to Users and Groups in System Preferences, but now it's gone.
    By short name, I mean the name that appears on your lock screen when you log in.
    P.S. I use a MacBook Air Early 2014 version, 13-inch.
    I upgraded to Yosemite 2 days ago.

    I found how to do it.
    Go to SystemPreferences - Users&Groups - Right-click on your account at the left hand side bar- change your FULL NAME ONLY
    If you change anything else the system might break but changing the full name causes no damage.
    So I changed my name and am working fine with my Mac.
    Cheers!

  • Source System Logical Name change

    Hello,
    We are refreshing our R3Qas system with a copy of our R3Prd system.  As part of this task our R3Qas logical name is changing from QASC230 to QASC200.
    I am at the point in the refresh where I am beginning tasks on the existing BWQas system. 
    I Right Click on the source system representing the R3Qas system "QAS client 230" technical name: QASC230.  I choose 'Restore'  I then provide the logon information but the system it jumps to is the Old R3Qas not the new R3Qas.
    I know that it is jumping based on the RFC, So I assume I can change that RFC to jump to the new system, what do you think?  Also what about the Source System name an technical name, will it always be QAS Client 230 and QASC230 or can that be changed to reflect the new name of QASC200?
    Thanks for your advice and assistance!
    Nick

    Since the BWQ system was already an existing system that was attached to the previous R3Q system, this task was essentially busy work.
    The change that occured was that the existing R3Q system (Physical Name: QAS01 Logical Name: R3QASC230) was being replaced with a new R3Q system (A copy of Production was used) (Physical Name: QAS02 Logical Name: R3QASC200).
    The actions that I needed to take to connect BWQ to the new R3Q follow:
    1. On QAS02 visit TX SE37. and run RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT, Choose 'Single Test'.  For I_BIW_LOGSYS: I provided BWP001 which corresponds to the logical name of our Production BW system. For I_OLTP_LOGSYS: I provided R3PRDC200 which corresponds to the logical name of the QAS02 system (this system).  I then Click 'Execute' and 10 seconds later this step is done.
    2. On QAS02 visit TX: BDLS.  For the 'Old Logical System Name' provide BWP001.  For the 'New Logical System Name' provide BWQ001.  Ensure the 1st radio button is selected, and deselect all checkboxes.  From the Program menu choose to 'Execute' in background (it took about 45 minutes). Confirm the 'Mapping System Name'.
    3. Again on QAS02 visit TX: BDLS.  For the 'Old Logical System Name' provide R3PRDC200.  For the 'New Logical System Name' provide R3QASC200.  Ensure the 1st radio button is selected, and deselect all checkboxes.  From the Program menu choose to 'Execute' in background (BASIS already did this step so a message appeared to that effect)
    4. On the BWQ box visit TX: BDLS.  For the 'Old Logical System Name' provide R3QASC230.  For the 'New Logical System Name' provide R3QASC200.  Ensure the 1st radio button is selected, and deselect all checkboxes.  From the Program menu choose to 'Execute' in background (it took about 45 minutes). Confirm the at the prompt and run.
    5. On BWQ create new RFC's based on the old ones to point at the new QAS02 system.  Modify the old ones with an X in the 'Target Host' so they do not function.
    6. Open up the BWQ client in SCC4.  (or perhaps try SM30 to modify the table in the next step)
    7. On BWQ visit TX: SE16.  Tablename: RSLOGSYSDEST.  Change the 'Old' reference to the QAS box to the 'New' information.  (ie: R3QASC230 became R3QASC200).
    8. On BWQ visit TX: WE20.  Expand 'Partner Type LS', Select 'R3QASC200', click the classification tabe, change the 'Partn.Status' from I to 'A' and save.
    9. On BWQ right click on the R3 Source system and choose 'Restore' Provide the passwords that are required.  When prompted to logon to the remote system use an ADMIN (BASIS) level Account.  Click 'Continue' when you get the 'User exists...' prompt.  Click 'Only Activate' when prompted.  you will then get a termination message regarding the port description.
    10. On BWQ Back at WE20: Expand 'Partner Type LS', Select R3QASC200, double click on RSRQST.  Under 'Outbound Options' click the drop down for 'Reciever port'  Select the 'new' correct system and 'Save'.
    11. On BWQ right click on the R3 Source system and choose 'Restore' Provide the passwords that are required.  When prompted to logon to the remote system use an ADMIN (BASIS) level Account.  Click 'Continue' when you get the 'User exists...' prompt.  You will get a prompt to Use or Check, choose 'Use'.  When prompted about 'Connection cannot be used' click 'Delete'. Logon again as ADMIN account, Click 'Continue' when you get the 'User exists...' prompt. Click 'Replicate as well' when prompted.  you will then get a termination message regarding the port description.
    You should be all set now!

  • Change Long Admin Name in System Preferences.

    I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro and when setting up the computer, I made my long name Dave's MacBookPro. Now when I go to log in it calls itself "Dave's MacBookPro's Macbook Pro". I went to Preferences and changed my long name to just Dave and everything is now ok...except when I go to System Profiler. When I click, About This Mac, on the top it still says "Dave's MacBookPro's MacBook Pro". Where do I go to change that setting, so it reads correctly. I don't plan on changing my shortname, so it shouldn't affect anything...Or can changing the long name affect any programs? Thanks.

    no. the long login name is only used to set the computer name during the original computer set up. otherwise they have nothing to do with each other.

  • Change Source system Tech.Name

    Production :   PRE -
    >  PRB
    PRE-Production    :   PPE -
    > PRE
    We make a copy of our production BI to Preproduction BI (PPB) we follow note # 886102. We want to connect this system to our pre production ERP (PPE).We already run BDLS change the logical system name we created new RFC created which is pointed to new R3 system .Problem is when we are going to run Tcode RSA1 in source system it shows old Tech name PRE600. We are unable to activate the source system.
    We can create new source system (PPE),but All our BI objects mapped with old source System (PRE600). I am afraid to change thousands of BI objects ( change source system from PRE600 to PPE600).
    Is there any work around we can change the Logical Source system Tech.Name? or some batch job which change the source system name for all BI objects.
    Appreciate your earliest reply.

  • Changing system name...

    Sorry, but I'm VERY new to a mac's and my co. gave me a macbook pro to use but whomever had it before me, his name is attached at the 'base level' of my system. For example, i sign in under my own login and have my own home but when I print a calender page from Entourage it says the other guy's name at the bottom. And when I turn on the computer it says "john doe's macbook pro' Can anyone tell me how to change this? I could ask my IT dept. but I would like to try and do it myself. Thanks!

    It's in the Sharing system preference. Just change the Computer Name to whatever you want it to be.
    Regards.

  • I changed my user name on Yahoo, now all my folders are gone.  How to fix?

    I use ipad mail for 4 email accounts.  In Yahoo, I created personal folders with things I cannot afford to lose.  I changed mu user name & password with Yahoo, so now all those folders don't show up with new user name.  I contacted Yahoo, they said they were able to restore this data.  When I checked on ipad, nothing.  But my iMac showed all my mail accounts correctly, and under Yahoo, my folders were all there.  Now somehow, I've messed it up again.  Can't see those folders on iMac or ipad.  How can I fix this?  I'm not familiar with iMac as much as ipad.  Any step by step instructions would be so appreciated!

  • Does installation of Server.app 3.1.1 on Mavericks change the OS Name?

    Suggestion, if somebody hasn't already tested this: Might want to follow the removal instructions for Server.app (see Help > Removing Serfver) and confirm whether that .ServerSetupDone file does or does not continue to exist, before you bet on that as the detection path.

  • What to do with Previous System Folders?

    First of all, Happy New Year to all!
    I just spent two days doing an "Archive and Install" on my iMac at the advice of an Apple Genius who checked out my iMac at the Apple store. He said my iMac was running very slow but couldn't find any reason for it.
    The first "Archive and Install" took six hours on the 30th, and then it was several more hours to get the software back up to speed with all of the updates. But after all of that, my system ended up in the Kernal Panic screen on start up. So today I got on the phone with Apple Care and they had me boot up with the Leopard Install DVD in the drive, holding down the C key. That worked, but I was back to square one with my Archive and Install.
    The second try yesterday took another 6 hours, and then it took several hours to get my software back up to speed again. The Apple Care guy told me the Install should only take an hour, so that right there tells me something isn't right. Anyway, here I am after two very long days, with my iMac at least functioning again, albeit not faster as I had hoped. It's still running slow as molasses. This post has taken me forever to write due to only being able to type three or four letters, then wait for SBOD to stop spinning, then another two or three letters. It's so frustrating.
    But, my main reason for posting here is to ask two questions.
    1. The two "Archive and Installs" left me with two "Previous System Folders" on my hard drive that are almost 21 GB's!! I had 74 GB's free before and now have only 53. Can I dump those folders and get my space back? I sure hope so. If so, how do I safely do it?
    2. The three folders on my dock at the right end; Applications, Documents, and Downloads, used to be in nice neat folders with symbols on them indicating what they are, but now they're just plain folders with stuff sticking out of the top of them, and in the case of the Applications folder, the Address book app is sitting on top of the folder, rather than inside of it, and all I see is the Address book icon, not the folder. How do I get those folders back to normal? I hate the way they look now!
    I'm very frustrated that I'm having all of these problems with my iMac, but grateful at this point that I extended my warranty before the first year was up. I'm definitely going to have to take it back in for more help. I don't think it should take four minutes for iTunes to start up and shut down, four minutes for iPhoto to shut down, or two minutes for a photo to open up in iPhoto after clicking on it, etc., etc. I have the Spinning Beach Ball of Death spinning way more than it should! I'm tired of constantly having to wait for it to stop so I can continue.
    Ironically, I installed two more Gigs of RAM less than six months ago so that I would have a faster computer, but I never really noticed a difference. Although it wasn't this slow the first few months.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my two questions up above, and thanks for listening to me while I expressed my frustration.
    Deb

    Hi Deb,
    This may be ten days late, and way, way too long, but you might want to try some of these suggestions, especially if AppleCare, or someone else, hasn't fixed it for you. You'll probably need to print out all this stuff. It's all stuff I've found useful in similar situations. There is no particular order to check things, but you might want check the utility "Activity Monitor" first and then try setting up a new account. That has worked for me.
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (found in the utility folder inside the root Applications folder) and click on the CPU column to see if some background process or another application is running and using a large percentage of the processor's time. Also check the RAM columns to see if something is using a lot of the available RAM. If there is something that doesn't seem right, you can select it and double click the questionable item - a dialog box will appear that allows you to quit. That may solve the problem of spinning "pizza wheels" of death without a restart. At the least you'll have a good question to ask AppleCare (though they'll definitely suggest Activity Monitor.
    You may also want to set up a new account in Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts with a different name and password. Then within that account try launching some apps from the Root Applications folder. They may now work in the new account. You can also install some apps you use most within the new account. Those apps will be placed in the Applications folder within the new home folder of the new account - NOT in the root Applications folder (the one you see when you double click the hard drive icon).
    If you haven't set up a new account before it will seem strange when you first startup. Nothing is the same - the desktop, dock, etc will be like when the machine was new. But often, using the new account, and finding the sluggishness is now gone, tells you the problem was in the old account - even if you can't find what the problem was. The old account is still there. But setting up the new account will take some additional drive space if you reinstall applications.
    Whatever you do, *_don't just delete the old account_* as that will also delete all your documents, videos, photos, etc. You can copy or move between accounts with your administrator password. The Library folder in the old Home folder will contain a lot of stuff you may want to keep, but also can contain the corrupt file that caused the sluggishness problem. You may want to copy the contents of different User/New Acct Home folder/Library folders a little at a time and reboot after changes. If the sluggishness reappears, then pull out the last items you put in and try to narrow it down.
    If you don't want to set up a new account initially try some of these suggestions. Uninstall and reinstall the major applications that run slowly. Use the uninstaller that comes with the app. If there is none, then just reinstall and restart. That might solve the problem. Reinstall whatever apps you need. Can't hurt and may eliminate some file corruption.
    After you restart, and BEFORE you launch any application, press and hold the Cmd (Apple) Key and then hit tab. You will see which apps are running in addition to the Finder. If there is stuff you didn't launch, keep pressing Cmd-Tab which will highlight each application. When selected, you can quit the application [Cmd-Q ]. Or just release the Cmd-Tab keys with the app selected and it's name should appear at the top left of the menu bar. There, you can pull down the menu and quit it (or press Cmd-Q). If it doesn't quit try to Force Quit [Opt-Cmd-Escape]. Try not to quit the Finder. Then launch the apps you need and see if they are still sluggish.
    If there was stuff running and you don't know why, check your Account (Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts). Accounts is the first item on the System row (next to last row down). Click Accounts and when it opens, click the the account you're using (if there are more than one). Then click the Login Items tab near the top of the window. You'll see a list of apps that launch whenever you start up (sometimes in the background). If you don't recognize some of what's there you can remove them using the [-] icon. You'll have to unlock the account with your password and then re-lock it to prevent others from changing stuff.
    Restart or log-out and log-in and see if the machine is faster without one or more of the removed items. There are things that are best not touched, but you'll probably know by their names. Pretty much anything you'd add will be found in the Applications or Utility folders. Other stuff is added by applications when they are installed. Make a list of whatever you remove if you have to add it back. If an application needs something you removed, you may be asked to reinstall the app.
    That's it - hope it helps.

  • Changing a Domain Name

    Hi, I can't find it myself:
    I have a server connected to the internet with a static IP adress. My internetprovider registered a domainname that points to my IP-adress (mydomain.com) Unfortunately I made a typo. Bad luck.
    I keep finding the wrong domainname everywhere in the server settings: it is in the OpenDirectory server, the mailsettings, icalserversettings etc.
    I know I change this by hand. But sure there must be a more effective solution (not reinstalling the server)
    can I run the initial Server Setup Assistant again and correct it?
    Cheers

    Hi
    If its just the name you need to change then changeip should do this for you. Consult man changeip for usage. However as an example:
    sudo changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 192.168.0.254 192.168.0.254 xserver.mydomain.com server01.mydomain.com
    The above is for an OD Master. You'll be prompted to supply first the Directory Administrator name and password and then the System Administrator name and password. If a Standalone server then:
    sudo changeip - 192.168.0.254 192.168.0.254 xserver.mydomain.com server01.mydomain.com
    You should only be prompted for the System Administrator name and password.
    Depending on how your server and network environment is set up it may be advisable to re-configure the way your client's access the server. This largely depends on whether you are using networked homes, bound clients and MCX.
    If the above does not work then export Users and Groups that exist in the LDAP node, unshare the sharepoint used for home folder creation and automounting home directories. Demote to Standalone, sort out your DNS - either manually or by using changeip - and finally repromotion back to OD Master and re-importing Users and Groups. Passwords are not retained on export but networked home folders are.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Changing a folder name

    I need to change my folder name with the home icon.. this can be changed by the user icon..... but when i change it it says i might lose information.... could someone please help

    Here it is again but I didn't do anything different, and it works for Rudegar. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
    Here's a copy and paste in case you still can get to it:
    OS X: How to change user account name or home directory name
    Summary Learn how to change your user account name and home directory name (which should match) by using the advanced procedure described below.  
    Products Affected
    Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, OS X Lion, Mac OS X 10.0, Mac OS X 10.1, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.4
    About the account name
    Each user in Mac OS X has a "Full Name" (referred to as "Name" in Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) and an "Account name" (referred to as "Short Name" in Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) as defined in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences (referred to as Accounts pane or Users pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier). The account name can contain up to 255 lowercase characters with no spaces. This is the name used to create a user's home directory (also known as the user's Home or Home folder) in the Users folder. Once the user has been created, the account name (or short name) cannot be changed in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
    Changing the account name
    Though there are other methods by which an advanced user may change the short name and related information, the easier and safer workaround is described below.
    Before following these steps, you may wish to back up your important data.
    For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
    Enable the root user.
    Log in as root.
    Navigate to the /Users folder.
    Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be  all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
    Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
    Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid  permissions issues with the contents.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
    After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
    Disable the root user.
    For Mac OS X v10.4.11 and earlier
    Optional step: As a precaution, you may disable automatic login prior to performing this procedure.  You might want to back up important data, too. In the event that you restart the computer for any reason before completing the procedure, this would prevent complications from having displaced the user selected for automatic login. (For Mac OS X v10.1.5 or earlier, automatic login is found in the Login preference pane. For Mac OS X v10.2 and v10.3, it is found in the Accounts preference pane.)
    Mac OS X v10.3 or later: If FileVault is enabled, temporarily turn it off, which will log you out.
    Enable the root user and log in as root.
    For Mac OS X v10.2 or later: Open the Accounts pane of  System Preferences.
    For Mac OS X v10.1.5 or earlier: Open the Users pane of System Preferences.
    In the Name list, locate the user account with the short name that you want to replace. This will be referred to as the "original user".
    Note whether or not the original user is identified as an administrator, which appears in the Kind column to the right.
    Click New User. For Mac OS X v10.3 or later, this is the plus button.
    Complete the Name and Short Name fields as desired. Be sure that the Short Name is exactly as you want it to appear.
    For Mac OS X v10.2: Fill in the New Password and Verify fields.
    For Mac OS X v10.1.5. or earlier: Click the password tab, then fill in the Password and Verify fields.
    If the user you are replacing is an Admin user, then select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". For Mac OS X 10.3, click the Security tab to locate this setting.
    Note: This checkbox is dimmed and already selected if there is not another Admin user. Mac OS X requires at least one Admin user.
    Click Save. (Skip this step for Mac OS X v10.3.)
    Quit System Preferences.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Computer from the Go menu.
    Open the Users folder in the Mac OS X disk.
    Open the folder with the short name of the new user that you just created.
    Drag the contents of this folder to the Trash.
    Important: Do not empty the Trash yet. In the event that you accidentally move contents of the wrong folder, you may recover them from the Trash after discovering your mistake.
    Choose New Finder Window from the File menu. Be sure to position the new window so that you can see both Finder windows.
    In the new window, open the folder of the original user.
    Press the Option key as you drag the contents of the original user's folder into the new user's folder (that you emptied in Step 16). This makes a copy of the contents.
    Close one of the Finder windows.
    Open the Terminal application (located at /Applications/Utilities/).
    Type: chown -R <new_name> /Users/<new_name>
    Important: Replace "<new_name>" with the actual short name of the new user you just created. For example, if the new user had the short name "jacques", you would type:
    chown -R jacques /Users/jacques
    Press Return
    Quit Terminal.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the new user. You should be able to access all of your original files on the desktop and in the folders of the Home directory.
    Important: If you do not have access to your original items, log out and log back in as root, then repeat Step 22. Also, be sure that you did not place the wrong files in the Trash in Step 16.
    Choose Home from the Go menu.
    Open the Library folder, then the Keychains folder inside it.
    Select the keychain, which should still have the short name of the original user.
    Choose Show Info from the File menu.
    In the Info window that appears, choose Name & Extension from the pop-up menu.
    Change the name to match the new user's short name.
    Close the Info window.
    Open the Keychain Access application, located in the Utilities folder.
    From the Edit menu, choose "<new_name> Settings". For the user Jacques, this would appear as: "jacques Settings".
    Click Change Passphrase.
    Enter the desired password, then click OK. You may use the same password again or set it to match the login password of the new user.
    Note: This step prevents you from discovering later that the keychain had retained an older password.
    Quit Keychain Access.
    Disable the root user.
    If everything is working correctly, you do not need to log back in as root to empty the Trash. The folders you put there occupy a negligible amount of disk space.
    Depending on what software you have installed, you may wish to rename other files and folders that may have been created under the original user short name to match the new user short name.
    Once you are certain that everything is working properly, you may want to delete the Home directory (folder) of the original user, which should be empty. For instructions on how to do this, see this article.
    Additional Information Note: Although you can change your Home name in Mac OS X v10.3 or later, you  usually shouldn't.
