How do i change my name in Leopard so that it changes it everywhere?

When first configuring my new MacBook Pro, it asked me for my name and i put in my First and Last name (so that it registers it correctly), but now every time i want to install something or it asks for a name, Leopard automatically places my first and last name into the fields (sometimes i can't even changed it).
I'm wondering how i am able to do so, i just want to use my first name, so that my last name is no longer on the system.
Thanks.
Saeid.
Ps. I have gone into account, and just set my first name, but still i see my whole name under networks (when selecting sharing)

After you changed your account name, all of the password boxes only show your first name, right? To fix the networking issue, open System Preferences and go to the Sharing Tab. Change the computer name at the top from John Doe's Computer to whatever you want. Hope this helps!

  • Tracking the name of the column that is changed

    hi
    How i can track the following information about a table
    say i hve the table name tab1 which is like this
    col1 col2
    1 2
    Now if i change the value of col1 by a trigger i can track the change value but how can i track the name of the column
    say in the table tab2 i am tracking the result
    changed_col_name changed_val prev_val
    now changed val and prevval can be tracked by trigger but in the column changed_col_name how i can track the name of the column which i changed?
    Thanx in advance

    You are being rather unclear here.
    If you change the name of a column your trigger will need to be amended. I don't think you're actually asking to track changing actual column names.
    What you require is to track value changes and want to know how to assign which value to which column.
    each value is associated with a column, therefore if you track that the 5th value in your value clause has changed that means that the column that is affected is the 5th column in your column list.
    A simple if block would do the trick.
    But probably a better suggestion is to store the rows in a history table.
    Each time theres a change insert into the history table (which has its key column based on a sequence or a timestamp)
    Then to see whats changed you can merely compare the current row to the previous row

    If you are using the JFileChooser to open the document, I would create another class with this included:
    //initiate class variables
    private File f;
    //create JFileChooser
    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
    fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
    fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY)
    //set the chooser to initialise File f with the file selected
    int status = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
    if (status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
         f = fc.getSelectedFile();
    public File getFile()
         return f;
    }

    How do you change the name of your phone?  I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...

    Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it!  I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma!  thank you for your help though!

  • Changing tab name in one component that used in different applications -FPM

    Hi gurus,
    I have an FPM component configuration, which have different tabs.
    This component i have used in different applications.
    I just want to know how can I dynamically change the name of one tab in different applicatins?
    I want to change only the tab name. content in the tab is same.
    For eg. If I open a Bid from Rfx, it should show "Rfx Information" as one tab name. But if i open a bid from Auction, it should show 'Auction Information'.
    Content in this tab is same.
    Is there any way to do that? Or shall I create different component config. for bid to use in Auction application  and another one for RFx application?
    Thanks,

  • How can I copy the name of a file, that I selected by a click?

    Hi,
    I have a device controled by a Excell (VBA) interface. Truogh this interface I control the motors and Diadem (for the report) and the data are save in a database. When I  use the load button from the excell, the VBA application call the script from Diadem  Load_DATA_BOF.VBS, (after I complete the new data for the report), and make the report.  Now to make it work, I copy the name of the filename that I want to load in a TextBox, and all the data are store in a txt file( protocol_for_load.txt) and Diadem takes from there the data for the report.
    What I want to do is to fill automatic the field of the filename in the  protocol_for_load.txt, when I select the file in  Diadem.
    Can this be done?
    Thank you for your time

    Hi Brad,
    I find out how to copy the name of a selected file ( with filedlgfile) and now I want to open the text file ( with the name the same like the file loaded)  so I can read the data from inside, but the command textfileopen from the script can't support a variable in the description, I thing.
    Fno = textfileopen ( filenametxt, tfread)
    Please look in to my script to understand better.
    I need to open the txt file with the name the same like the file loaded, to take the data and fill the report. This I need to do in Diadem Script, because I will call the script trough a VBA interface.
    Sorry for not being more clearly  first  time, but I am a beginner in working with VBS.

  • Example: change artist name in itunes but doesn't change it on ipod touch 4g ios 5.0.1

    Hello, (sorry for bad english)
    So yesterday I updated itunes to 10.5 and updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 5.0.1.
    I restored my ipod so everything was lost. Now I put al my music back on but there is a problem.
    If for example change eminem to Eminem it changes the id3 tag. (example I select 10 songs with the names eminem Eminem e&m I change them all to Eminem)
    It works on itunes and I have a playlist with only Eminem.
    But on my ipod there are still the names of eminem Eminem e&m so why is that?
    1. I synced my ipod
    2. I didn't made the changes in libary but onder the ipod in the playlist (so really on the ipod, so you guys don't say you may made the changes in itunes libary. No I really made the changes on my ipod)
    3. I restarted my ipod several times but it didn't help
    ipod touch 4g IOS5.0.1 / windows 7 64bit
    Could someone help me? because it's annoying that in itunes it looks like artist : Eminem and on my ipod all those wierd names.
    I found a topic with the same problem but there was no sollution: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3409894?start=0&tstart=0
    Thank you,

    I have a completely untested & unconfirmed hypothesis that "something" changed in the last iOS update with the way iTunes keeps track of which items are on the device. My guess is that it has something to do with being able to identify the same item whether on the device, in your library or in the cloud. Whatever the cause I found I needed to manually delete a bunch of albums on my iPad that were showing as dupes or without artwork and which didn't get resolved by syncing. Since I deleted them and resynced it has all been fine.  Remove any problem content from the device and resync.
    In the list type views swipe from right to left over the right hand side of an item (but keep away from the alphabet if it is showing down at the edge of the window). A red delete button should appear, tap to remove the item. In grid mode on an iPad holding your finger down on an item for about a second will produce a black & white cross at the top left, touch this to delete.
    If that still doesn't work, backup the device and then restore it.

  • How do I edit optimised artwork in Illustrator so that the changes apply to all its instances?

    Hi,
    I am working on a layout in Flash Catalyst CS5 that I exported from Illustrator that is made of many instances of various optimised graphics. I now changed my mind about one of my optimised graphics and would like to make a change to it in Illustrator however I need to break it apart first in order to do so. I am stuck because I would like those changes I made in Illustrator to apply to all the instances of that optimised graphic however when I optimise the artwork back to a vector graphic, its a different symbol and therefore is no longer related to those instances. Therefore, how can I edit optimised artwork so that the changes will always apply to its instances?
    Thanks

    When you have placed your Spry menu in a Template, you must set the links in the Template and preserve the menu in an ineditable region by not making an editable region surrounding it. Don't forget to make editable regions in the rest of your page, so you can put content on the pages!
    When you save a page as a Template, the Template is placed in a Templates folder, and DW keeps track of maintaining the accuracy of the links. You do not have to change the links in the Template for the child pages, DW does that for you.
    When you are using a Template to create child pages, you do File > New Document > Page from Template, choose the template, check the box labeled "Update page when template changes" and press "Create".
    Save the page in the appropriate place in your site files, and you should be good to go.
    You can use a Template for many many pages...there is no limit, as far as I know.
    You might find it useful to review the tutorials on Templates just to refresh your understanding. Here is a link to the Help documentation: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7acda .html

  • I know the name of an object - how do I get the name of the object that contains it?

    If I have a Movieclip, I can trace the name of the Movieclip
    that contains it using the _parent property.
    With a generic object, is there a way to trace the name of
    the object that contains it?
    Please, please tell me - this will be a huge help.
    Thanks

    Thanks for these comments - my problem isn't with MovieClips.
    I need to know if there is something which is the generic Objects
    equivalent to the MovieClips _parent property.
    Here's some code that hopefully will help explain further:
    class MyClass extends Object {
    var myObject:Object;
    function MyClass (){
    myFirstObject = new Object();
    myFirstObject.theParent = this;
    private function getNameOfParent(p_object:Object){
    // Some code to return the name of the object that contains
    p_object
    trace(p_object.__proto__); // Output: [object Object]
    trace(p_object._parent); // Output: undefined
    trace(p_object.theParent); // Output: [object Object]
    return ???
    public function doSomething(p_num:Number){
    var parentName = getNameOfParent(myObject);
    // do some more action...
    Timeline code:
    var myClass1 = new MyClass();
    myClass1.doSomething();

  • How can I change the name of the administrator that shows on Home Icon?

    Hello
    I've bought this laptop from a reliable source, went to the Apple Store (Regent St) with the box and they registered it in my name, address and so on. No problems, the mac works fine.
    However, the Home/Icon and administrator is in the name of the old owner. Obviously, he gave me the password. But, I really want to have my name on it.
    I've the box, the discs and all the books. Everything is in really good conditions.
    I read the manuals, the instructions are straight forward but on the net and forum related mac, I can see that are lots of people having problems when they reboot and are unable to login and so on...
    The genius bar at the Apple Store is okay, but the staff main objective is to sell and they are not very patient and neither have much time for you. Normally I end up leaving the store with software that I don't have a clue how to use and the problem unsolved. And it stresses me out.
    Can someone help me please.
    Thank you
    Best regards

    1. Yes, just the Shortname will be changed.
    2. Not easier, but you can do that if you wish.
    since I'm in the official Mac support forum should I expect to receive a reply from a Mac expert staff or it is unlikely to happen?
    Just other Users here like you, trying to help other users. For a real Apple answer I think you have to call AppleCare, but rarely an Apple Host pops in... wouldn't expect it in this case though.
    I do thank you for the info about your software and obviously will make a donation if everything works fine.
    Not mine, but a worhy piece of SW just the same.

  • How to define ACH file name in OBPM4 so that rundate is also displayed

    Hi All,
    I had done configuration in OBPM4 so that file is direclty sent to AL11 to the given path.  My server is of 4.6c
    I had assigned file name to it . What I had observed in AL11 that along with the filename 4 characters sequential no is also assigned .
    for eg: xyzfile.txt.0124 .
    My requirment is that I should be able to display rundate also along with the filename.If rundate is 09/15/2010 (mmddyyyy)
    like xyzfile.09152010.txt  .
    I think I had to do some setting in OBPM3 , if I am right please guide me what all I had to do or else suggest someother way.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vengal Rao.

    Hello,
    Try OBPM3 but use display.  Click on the Standard Settings for the format and review from there.  There is a field "Indicator: Payment Medium w/o Documents" the seems to be linked to a file.
