Computer name change and Network name

Recently I changed my computer name from "XY Z's Computer" to one without the dreaded apostrophe and the spaces.
I did this in Sharing under Computer Name:
However, after doing this and rebooting, the new name is there - good - but if in Sharing Preferences, I click Internet Sharing and then click Airport Options, my original name is there, under the title, Network name:
Is there a single location where these changes can be made simultaneously?
Are there any other places where one might find the original computer name?
Is this a bug or simply something not well-documented that I should have known about?

i'd like to know how to do this also

    OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

    Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
    Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
    earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
    So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
    In case this helps:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    iTunes version: 11.3.1.8

  • HT201577 I changed the network name on my time capsule and lost my airport express...how do I get it back?

    I changed the network name of my time capsule and lost my airport express in the process.... I have tried all of the resets (soft/hard/factory default) suggested in other answers to people but cannot locate the network of my airport express.  It just keeps flashing amber. I want to add it back to my time capsule to extend my network as it was before I reset the name.  HELP

    Which model of AirPort Express do you have?
    If you are not sure, the model number is on the side or bottom of the Express. Hard to see.....you may need a magnifying glass. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    Post back with that info.......if you want to get the Express set up again to work with the Time Capsule.
    You do have another option as well, although you will have to think in reverse on this one.
    Change the network name back to the original name on the Time Capsule, so the Express will work correctly on the network.
    Now, change the network name on the AirPort Express.  It will be blinking amber when you do this, so power it off.
    Then, change the network name on the Time Capsule and let it restart.
    Now, power up the AirPort Express and it will join up with the Time Capsule network since you have already programmed it with that information.

  • Changing my network name

    My network for Airport says my first name and last name Network.. I thought I changed it but it hasn't. Is there a way I can take that off?

    Hello TattedNerd. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The Network Name or SSID, can be changed within the AirPort Admin Utility.
    To change the Network Name on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Name: <enter the desired Network Name or SSID>
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

  • Changing the network name on my wireless router?

    I bought my linksys router a few months ago and did all the setup stuff that day, including changing the network name from the default. I want to change the name to something different, but when I went to the setup address, there was no box in which to put the new network name [I was on the Basic Wireless Settings Tab in the Wireless section]. Help please?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What is the model number of the router?  Access your admin pages again and select wireless tab and then select the MANUAL button.  There you will find what you seek (SSID).

  • 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.

  • Changing Wireless network name on Photosmart 5520

    I cannot print documents from my network and I think it it because of network confusion. The test page prints fine so I know I have connection to the printer.  I have two wireless networks in my home and the printer display shows network#2.  I want it to use network #1.  How do I change the network name on my printer display panel?

    Hi,
    Please follow steps in document below.

  • Will changing Airport network name affect clients?

    Will changing the network name of my Airport Extreme affect the login of wifi clients?
    In other words, my previous wifi network name was: John's Airport. I want to change it to John's wifi network.
    If the clients have their current login saved on their Macs, will they need to re-login again even though the password is not changing (just the identifying name)?

    Yes, if you change the network name (that is, the SSID), all clients will have to select the new network and if the network is protected by WEP or WPA, you will have to re-enter the passcode once for each client.

    This would indicate that the text is possibly part of a template file....so you would have to change the code in the template file.
    Does the page have any Dreamweaver template mark up in it?

  • How to change the network name and line name on iPad 4?

    Could anybody help me how to fix this problem?
    Previously I used qb (a mobile network in Cambodia) for my iPad 4 (iOS 7.0.4 non-jailbreak) the network name is qb.
    The problem is that after I changed to use SMART (another mobile network in Cambodia) for this iPad the network name is still in QB and the Line name changed to SMART.
    I don't know how to fix it now.
    I have tried many methods as in restore through iTunes, reset network setting, reset all setting... but I still could not get the solutions.
    I do hope to get it fix through all your experience.

  • A guest at our home used his ipad and changed the network name. How do I change it back to the apple network

    A guest at our house was using his ipad and changed the apple netwrok name to another and put a password on it.  How do I eliminate this netwrok and get back to the Apple Network?

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on resetting the password. Once that is done, you can access the base station to change its Wireless Name (or SSID) back to what you prefer. To discourage other "guests" from changing the AirPort settings, you should also change the default base station Administrator password.

  • Time machine setup - how to change 'wireless network name' and settings?

    I have moved laptop to Mountain Lion.
    This is the first time to backup to Timecapsule.
    I went to Settings then Select Disk and selected existing Time Machine.
    It took more than 30 minutes and seemed stuck on 'Preparing ....".
    I cancelled and tried to 'Setup Time Capsule not  listed"...
    The system recognised the Time Capsule but I see that the network settings is my old 'wireless network' name.
    How do I change this to the correct network name and ensure that the settings are correct? 
    I think if this is corrected, the backup will work.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Communicate with cRIO when IP Address and DNS Name changes over Network Variables

    I am developing a LabVIEW software for an European Project using cRIO-9074 and RT Application Reployment to update all cRIO devices with the last version.
    To communicate with the cRIO devices I have also developed some applications that are outside cRIO on LabVIEW Project that uses Network Variables to Read/Write to the devices.
    When I am developing the software, everything works just fine because the LabVIEW Project knows the IP Address on my cRIO device. However, when I use RTAD to install the software and then my applications outside the LabVIEW Project, the aplications are, not always able to find the device when the IP address changes.
    I have tried to replace the IP Address with the DNS Name but no success. When I change the router that is connected to the cRIO, the DNS Name also changes.
    With this, my question is how can I solve this sistematic problem? Should I change any configuration on MAX, in LabVIEW Project and/or in the applications to be able to always find the cRIO? Is it possible to have a field on the application to insert the IP Address of the device to connect? If yes, how can I do this?
    Best regards,

    Quintino,
    You can programatically open connecitons to Shared Variables.  This allows you to decide at runtime the IP address, lib name and SV name you wish to connect to.  I've attached a vi snippet the demonstrats an Action Engine to handle the connection to a SV named "Parameters".
    I normally store the cRIO_Settings in a .INI file that is easy to modify.

  • The Facebook app on my iPad will not let me access my account. I was recently married so my Facebook name changed and I updated my password. Now when I go into Facebook under settings and try to access my account it is still using the old name.

    I got married, changed my Facebook name and gave my account a new password. Now, under settings and Facebook they have my ITunes/Apple ID and under it says "please sign in using (my old Facebook name) and under that is password. Only that old Facebook name has changed but did not update on my iPad settings. Also it will not accept my new password. I cannot erase it. If Apple doesnt want us to use more than one account, what do we do in this situation? Or if our Facebook gets hacked and becomes compromised? This is not okay. I have to be able to access this and because it will accept only one and will not update changes I cannot longer access my account. I buy a lot of Apple products. I won't buy another if it's not corrected. This is horribly frustrating. Not to mention waiting on youtube videos to load is almost as bad as waiting on dial-up. But that's another matter. Is there a way around this or do I need to start looking for products somewhere else? Anyone know? Thanks.

    You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud.  Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
    You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
    If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
