Changing Mac name and start-up sequence

I bought a new Mac Air to replace my work Mac Pro and transferred over my files using Thunderbolt. Unfortunately it has ported across the old work Mac Pro name, the NetBio and start up sequence which is looking for my old work network before fulling opening - how can I change it.

Change what? Your computer name? Do that in System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name

How do I change the name and cover of a ebook in ibooks for mac?

I have iBooks on my macbook pro and would like to change the name and cover of some epub books I dowloaded. How do I go about doing this, if there a get info like in itunes that I just can't find?

Try Calibre for Mac, available on macupdate.com. It's clunky to have to use 3rd party software, but until Apple fixes the abomination that is iBooks, that's what we'll have to do.

How do I change admin name and password on install for PS 7.0 for Mac

I have an old 7.0 full photoshop disc from a business that closed a couple of years ago. When I try and install it asks for a administrator name and password. The person who used to work for the company and install the programs on our computers is no longer around. Is there I way I can bypass this or change the name and password so I can install Photoshop on my new Mac laptop? Thank you.

Change the password with your OS X install disk. See
here for details.

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

Iphone 4 voice Dial used to work great, but now, I can't get it to recognize voice commands. When i give it a command to call someone, it ends up repeating someone elses name and starts the call. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I have an I phone 4 with 32g. The voice dial used to work just fine, but now it doesn't recognize the words and ends up saying someone elses name and starts calling the wrong person. It even won't recognize a number when spoken to it and speaks back and calls the wrong numbers.
Lately, the phone has really slowed down. I am not sure if this is the problem.. I have closed all the open apps and deleted any extra picture off the card and extra songs that I have downloaded and the slow problem still exists.
Would a reset work to restore the phone to factory settings and if I then resync the phone, would all contacts pictures and songs be restored?

What is wrong with your Mac? You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine
What do you mean by "wasn't fine". We can't see your computer so you'll have to describe what your're experiencing in detail without the editorializing.

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:

How to change DB name and SID in RAC environment?

I have 2 node RAC on Red Hat Linux, EL 4, upd. 4. It's using ASM
and it is working great. However, after 2 years of faithful service
I was asked to change DB name and SID. In non-RAC environment, that is
easy. Rename a few files, change init.ora and re-create control file.
I've done that many times. With 10g RAC, however, situation is different. There is also RAC registry which has the database under the certain name and, I believe, it also has SID registered. Can you, please, point me to a document describing how to do that? It's a production DB and I can't test it anywhere.

It's in the manual:

How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

Changing the name and path of Targets, Exec, Products, etc

I want to change the name and path of the Products, Targets, and Executables, but the text box in the 'info' window won't let me edit, and the choose buttom is grayed out.
Any ideas?

I just did this yesterday... and it's fairly confusing trying to figure out what all to change.
You can change the name of your target and executable by selecting them in the "Groups & Files" list and then selecting "File -> Rename" from the menubar.
It appears as if you can also select your Product and rename it in this way too... but (in my case) doing that didn't seem to actually rename the final app that's produced.
In order to rename the actual final application I believe you must select your target click the "Info" button... in the Info window select the "Build" tab. Scroll down until you find the "Product" entry. Double-click that and change it's name. Note that you may need to change the product name for each of your build configurations (ie Debug & Release).

I'm not really sure but I think yes. Blocking a contact will only prevent them from contacting you or sending you contact request. The visibility of your account information depends on how you set it, if you had them visible to public or to your contacts only.

Difficulty changing computer name and domain name

I have a working Xserve with the latest Snow Leopard Server and am having difficulty reconfiguring it from its keyboard.
I would like to edit the computer name and domain name and maintain all other server settings. I would prefer to do this off-line. However Server Admin appears not to work off-line and any attempt to change computer name or domain name removes all server settings from view including the serial number. I can recover everything by reinstating computer name etc and restarting on-line.
Is the serial number tied to the computer name and/or domain name?
Is there any way to retain my existing server settings for a different domain?
Is there any way to progress any of this off-line?

This has now been resolved. This note is to assist others who have the same problem.
1 - I had been changing the computer name in the place I had always done it - System Preferences/Sharing. This confused Server Admin. Reverting to the original name and changing computer name and location within Server Admin resolved the issue. That is System Preferences/Sharing is updated by Server Admin but not vice versa.
2 - Playing with these things can corrupt Server Admin plist resulting in a restarted Server Admin not seeing the edited server even with the server otherwise fully functioning. Trashing Server Admin plist resolved this for me without loss of server settings.
3 - Having set it up off-line I experienced difficulty as soon as I went on-line. This was resolved by changing the server from 'local' to its full domain name. I have no explanation for this as the same settings had previously worked with 'local'.
4 - Server Admin can take a long time to find settings and occasionally failed to do so until after a restart.
The result can be seen here: http://links.open.ac.uk/ - Since Apache refuse to provide hit counter support (there are several public posts of mine on the subject) I use JavaScript to retrieve the count from an old QPQ server running on a G3 with OS 9.
