Changeip command? Trying to view or change the DNS name of a computer.

Hey guys, I did a time machine on computer but it is still remembering the old DNS name.
I looked it up and it looks like you can use the changeip command to change the DNS name but when i try and run the command it says changeip command not found.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi
Apple have changed (sic) the changeip command. In 10.6 Server it now does not have the same functionality it used to have in previous versions. Reason being it was not always successful in doing what it was supposed to do. To change the hostname use scutil:
sudo scutil --set HostName thenameyouwant
The changeip command does not exist on the client OS.

How can i change the DNS Name of a 10.6 Server

Hello when i installed the Server i made a mistake and put in a wrong dns name wich is not reachable from the clients. How can i Chane the DNS Name?

The core command is changeip, and Google will find some details and discussions.
$ man changeip
$ changeip {-v} {-d path} directory-node old-ip new-ip {old-hostname new-hostname}
It's not always successful; the host name tends to get embedded everywhere.
For the official documentation on this, see the [Advanced Server Management Manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf] for a discussion of what (else) needs to happen when the IP settings change; see the +Understanding Changes to the Server IP Address or Network Identity+ section.

How do I change the device name under "My Computer"?

When I first plugged my iphone in I recieved a text from a friend. My computer then automatically set that as the iphone's name under "My Computer - Portable Devices." Changing the name in itunes does not change the name under "My Computer."

How do I change the owners name on my computer?

I purchased this computer in 2010 and later sold it. The person stopped making payments and I had to take it back. Now I need to remove the name/ information and replace it with my name/information. Can it be done and how do I do this? The other name does not show in the user accounts but every time I save something the name pops up and it drives me crazy. I know, its a "old computer" ... Thanks

OracleVM Manager template 2.2.0 trying change the host name

Hi,
I have installed the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 template
into an OraclVM Server 2.2.1.
Reading the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 install
instructions "Readme_for_Media_Pack_B59146-01.txt" and doing
the installation in the interview area, I am asked
to provide the fully qualified domain name as the
name of the OracleVM Manager.
Therefore, I provided something like this.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
Later, when I was in the OracleMV Manager,
I noticed the following.
Correct information was written in my /etc/hosts file.
192.168.1.160 ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain ovmmanager
The case seems however, that unusual information
was written to the /etc/sysconfig/network file.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
When I type "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
I say, "unusual", because most people prefer a single
name "ovmmanger" to be the host name.
I have tried to permanently change the host name of the computer by
changing the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network file to the following.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager
Next, at the command line I would type the following.
hostname ovmmanger
When I type "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager
However, every time I do an 'xm shutdown' to the
OracleVM Manger (the ovmmanger), and then later do an
'xm create vm.cfg' to start the ovmmanger,
when I type a "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
When I look at the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network file
the contents are back to the original contents.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
instead of my preferred contents
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager
My first question is the following.
By design, does the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 template
supposed to have a host name to be a
fully qualified domain name?
ovmmanger.mydomain.mytopdomain.
My second question is the following.
If the situation is satisfactory to have just
ovmmanger
as my host name, then how do I prevent the host name renaming
process to reoccur every time I do an 'xm create vm.cfg' to start
the OracleMV Manager?
Thank you
AIM

First Question: No, it does not have to be a full qualified hostname. As long as the hostname is resolved in your network short qualified is fine.
Second Question: You don't have to do anything. In OVM Template design the configuration tool is just called the first time your template is started. All succeeding startups will not go through the configuration again. (There is however an option to reenable/reset the VM that the configuration is called again).

I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Changing the Instrument Name in Score View

I've modified the Orchestral Template to create my own desired orchestral set up and changed the track names of the instruments and also applied these new names to their corresponding regions but in score view the old names (provided by the template) are still the ones that show up. I've had this problem before when not starting from a Logic template. How do I change instrument names i score view?

Indeed CCT - I had a play around after your very useful post about Instrument names and the long and short of it is as you said:
CCT wrote:
Your only solution seems to be to use the Score set method of naming/labelling staffs, and then >working in Page view (ignoring the View:Instrument names)
I too could not rename the actual Midi Instruments in Score View - short of going to the Midi Unit/Environment and bringing up the page with their actual names and changing them ( which I dont want to do).
There is indeed an issue here if you want rename a Midi Instrument from say 'pop piano' to plain "Piano" in Score View and you do want the name on the *actual score* - it would be great if Score View could do this.
However, Logic gives lots of opportunities for different names on the actual score.
One thing that is not perhaps clear to the original Poster is that in order to do this, the best way is to Create a Score Set from Selection and then Double Click in the very top of the Inspector. This brings up all the actual name boxes. You can see the original Instrument name ( ie mid Pop Piano) and then you have the option for Full Name or Short Name which is selectable ... elsewhere in Score Settings> Names and Numbers> Instrument Names

How to change the package name of View or Window

Hi all,
i have created the Webdynpro Application.i have some Views and Windows in the WebDynpro Peoject.i want to change the package Names of Views.is it possible???
thanks in advance
regards
Naidu

Hi Naidu
Though you rename the package name, the view in that package refers to the old package and hence that view can be used in other views by including the old package name only. Renaming doesn't have significance that you expect. You can create a new package and views in it and copy the implementation of views from the old package to the views in the new package.

Can anybody please help me !.

Hi Abhilash
If I'm not wrong I saw something about this here (SDN), in a technical article about how to create a JDBC iView . I tried to get the link to the article but it seems there's a problem with the site, sorry...
By the way, I had the same problem, and according to the article this was not possible in the version EP6 SP2 but there was a plan to implement this in newer versions. I tried also to use a SQL command with the column names I wish to display but it didn't work either.
Try to find this article in the EP Technical Article to confirm this info, ok ?

How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

Hello,
At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
Thanks,
- Josh
<Email Edited By Host>

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)
