  • Is it possible to change the name of my MacBook Air?

    I purchased my first Apple laptop yesterday and while setting it up, I made a typo for the name of my computer (meant to type BloodGrin but typed BloodGrib instead).  Sorry for the n00b question, but is there any way possible I can change that?
    I know how to change the name for iCloud, but the name of the computer itself if that makes any sense.

  • How do I change the name of my macbook pro?

    How do I change the name of my macbook pro.  My full name is listed on it and I want to change that.  In the upper right hand corner it is correct but all that lists is my login name.

    Mr. Pat, there are some people who still try to do that, but you are risking losing all your music, photos, email, etc. It is not for the faint of heart.  This page, albeit published in 2003 by Dr. Smoke, is still pretty valid, IMHO:

    Here's the opening copy:
    Recover from renaming your Home folder
    It is a grave mistake to rename your Home folder -- changing its file name from johnsmith toJohn, for example -- in an attempt to change the short name for your account when using Mac® OS X.
    Here's a newer, last scary article from the Apple Knowledge Base:

  • How do I Change the Name of My MacBook and Why was it Changed after the Upgrade to Yosemite?

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my MacBook Air (2012) to Yosemite a few months back and it changed the name of my Mac from "Alan's MacBook" to "Alan MacBook Air (2)." I simply want to know how to change it back to the original name. Also, why was it changed in the first place after my upgrade to Yosemite?
    Thank you so much!!!
    Alan

    This was a common bug in Yosemite. Follow dwb's instructions but also restart your router. Make sure you're running OS X 10.10.2 since it was supposed to have been addressed with that update.
    I have heard allegations regarding simultaneous use of both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (or equivalent adapter, considering it's a MBA) but can find no justification for them, and I never personally observed any correlation to it. It's perfectly acceptable to use both.

    How do I change the name of my Mac book?

    Ahh I see what you mean now. I don't have the computer box ticked in my finder preferences and so the name doesn't show up. If this annoys you so much just go to preferences/sidebar and deselect computer. Then it's not there anymore.
    I'll have a look at the name change option for you.

    Julien,
    The system normally picks up the settings from the browser and presents the page in the local language if found - we have 16 translations if I recall correctly. Default is English. This allows the user to get started without having to go into the bcentral pages and customise the interface - they may not understand the default language and therefore be stuck.

    Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini found an astonishingly simple way to accomplish what you seek. etresoft distilled that information into the following User Tip:
    Changing user account short name
    It is far simpler than the outdated and cumbersome Apple Support document you linked.
    Note that he writes it has been tested on Mountain Lion but the procedure appears sound and should work equally well with Mavericks.
