Does anyone know how to change the computer's username that we originally set up when we first got the computer? I don't like what my husband picked! We have the Leopard OS. Thanks!!!

Need help with changing the product name for a HP LaserJet Pro 401n to use on a ePrint network.

I am in a school environment, naming printers is imortant.
Bonjour Service Name and Device Description name have been changed. IOS7 devices see the Bonjour name but ChromeBooks see the Product name. How can I change the Product name on the printer so that it is then recognized by HP Connected and shown to ChromeBook devices?

You should be able to change the product name in Google Cloud. The ChromeBook uses Google Cloud to print (Google Cloud uses HP ePrint). Log into your google account and change the printer name there.

WRTG42 v1 Need help with changing the Security Mode

I need to change my wireless security mode but for some reason whenever I try to change anything the website automatically puts what ever I changed back to normal. Basically, I try to change an option and the website changes the option back instantly. Has anyone else had this issue? And if so, can you please walk me through what you did? Thanks!

Try using a different browser and make sure you click on Save Settings after changing security settings. Here's a link for detailed instructions.

Need help with changing the name.

I got my palm pre from an uncle who lives in the states. The problem is I can't call tech support to ask them because I live in belize. The proble I have with my pre is that I have added my email account to the phone, but when I send an email, they receive it in my uncles name, my name is lanny and they receive an email form cesar, I think you can see where the problem lies. Is there anyway I can change it to my name? Please help!

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I would create a new Palm Profile. To do this you will need to go to the Device Info app, Reset Options, then select Full Erase. All pictures, videos, and anything else stored in the USB side of the device will be erased. I recommend that if you want to keep any of that to connect your device to a computer then click and drag everything you want to keep off of the device and onto your computer.
After you perform the Full Erase the device is going to reboot. It is going to come up with a screen to sign in to a Palm Profile or Create a New Palm Profile. NOTE*** You will need a data connection to do this. Select Create a New Palm Profile and fill in the blanks. Once you are back into the device you can set up your email accounts again and it should display the name you created the Palm Profile with.
I hope this helps,
-Pat

HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

Is there any way I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with?

My computer has recently decided to reject my iPod Touch completely from it's system, it has also deleted all the data from my iTunes library. It claims that my iPod has been synced with another computer and states that they can only be associated with a single computer. I was wondering whether there was any way of which I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with? Is it possible? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Your Device will only Sync to One iTunes at a time...

It sounds like a bit of a mess and what you may need is an onsite PC tech to do some maintenance on your PC.
Also, learning to properly use punctuation (particularly periods) might not be a bad idea. As it is, your post was very hard to read.
Good luck!

Changing the Computer name with ARD

Hello, I am new to mac but I am now in charge of running a mac network or machines for an art department. I see that with ARD you cna change the computer name. If you change the computer name does it just change anything on the client machine? I just want to change the name in my All computers name so its easier to identify each users machine.

There are four User-fields that you can enter information into with ARD. What I've done in the past is put the primary user of a computer into one of those fields. That way the user doesn't appear in the machine name, but I can still easily access this information.
Note that if these computers are also in a Workgroup Manager group, that WGM will just change the name back on you. You would need to rename the computer through Workgroup Manager for this name change to take affect.

I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor. I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE. Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Deleting the iTunes account is not the solution as you will very likely lose any and all purchases ever made with the account.
If you cannot find the option on the site, contact iTunes support.
