How can i change my mac's home folder name and my mac's name?

I just got my macbook yesterday, and i was in a rush in setting it up coz i was in the office, I accidentally put my whole name. I just want my nickname in my home folder and to be my mac's name. How can I do that? Do i need to create another admin account? Can I remove the old one in case? Thank you!

  • How can I change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text

    I am using Yosemite.  Is there any way to change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text?

    You can't. You can't individually set the properties of just one array element.

    HOw can I change me iCloud email without losing pictures and data

    If you sign out it will be removed from the phone (but not from the icloud account)
    What are you trying to achieve here, why change your email address?

    Jill, you should start your own thread.

  • How can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

  • How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?

    How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?
    It seems to be going to one default folder every time I open that I didn't suggest.
    I'm using Bridge CS4
    Thanks ahead
    Line

    If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to autoload Bridge on Startup.  Either disable that option  in PS or shut Bridge down before you shut off the computer.
    Message was edited by: curt y
    If you always want it to start on a specific folder you can leave it on autoload, go to folder you want it to start on then exit Bridge.  It should load this each time in future.  Many of us discourage the autoload option as it can lead to other problems as well.

  • Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

    I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

    You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.

  • How can I change the view of Download Folder in Dock

    I used to have my Download Folder in my Dock show up as a vertical string of icons with the latest at the bottom, when I clicked on the Folder. I recently had to drag the Downloads Folder back into the Dock after it had disappeared from there.  After doing that I now notice when I click on the Downloads icon in the Dock, it now shows up as a page full of icons.  I prefer the original vertical listing.  How can I change it back?
    Hope someone can help on this one.  Thanks.

    That's not an option. Under Display As, you have the view options for Downloads

    You cannot.  Customizations such as those are not available in iOS.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud ID? I moved and the email I used to set it up no longer exists.

    I want to correct my iCloud ID as the email address I used to set it up will no longer exist when I move.
    If I delete the account it says will delete all my contact, calendar, etc. data from my device and I could not deal with that.
    How can I change it and save my data on my devices?

    I have already changed my Apple ID, but now I need to change my ICLOUD ID.
    I can delete the iCloud ID, but then it tells me that it will delete all the data from my device - calendars, contacts etc. which would be totally unacceptable. One of the other threads says you can select save my data, but unless that option is buried it does not appear on the deletion screen.
    So the question remains - how do I change my iCloud ID to a valid email address.  The one I used to set it up will go away in a week when I move and cancel my present Internet service.  Comcast doesn't provide service where we're moving so the email address will go away.

  • How can I get my iTunes on my Windows machine and my Mac in Sync

    I use both a Window's machine and a Mac. I first had my iPhone4 in sync with my iTunes on my Window's machine. Now I want to also have the iTunes on my Mac in sync with what is on my Window's machine, but when I plug in my iPhone none of the apps that are on my Window's machine are there.
    And when I click sync apps on my Mac it warns that all the existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. How do I get them to be the same?

    Hi
    did you try home sharing in iTunes? Turn it on on both machines and enter your Apple Account Information. This schould do the job.

  • How can I change to location of pictures folder? I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. How can I do this.

    I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. In windows i would just change the properties of the given library folder. How can I do this in Lion?

    Move "~/Pictures", or if just iPhoto pictures, "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library", to the new location.
    If you moved iPhoto, open iPhoto with the option key held, like Tony T1 writes. Select "Other Library" and navigate to the new location.
    To add the new location to the sidebar in Finder, just drag it onto the sidebar.
    Same process for iTunes, or whole music folder.
