How do I change the name of my Mac partition in the startup menu?
Hi,
So when I transferred my data to my new hard drive, I originally called my hard drive "changetitle" so I wouldn't confuse it with my other drive also named Macintosh HD.
Now that I have my new drive installed, I changed the name to "Macintosh HD" but when I hold Option to use bootcamp on startup, I notice that my HFS+ partition still has the name "changetitle".
Any way to change it? Thanks!
System Preferences->Sharing sets the network name of the computer. The issue here is the name of the startup volume as seen in Startup manager (the option key start up mode).
That should be changeable from the Finder: highlight the name of the volume, press return, & type in the new name. Is this what was done?

How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?
I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!Tom Gewecke wrote:
Language Switcher is for changing the language of the menus and dialogues displayed by an app and does not affect the keyboard being used.
i should have read the post more carefully
thanks for the clarification, Tom !

G4 How Can I Change the StartUp Hard drive?
I want change the OS StartUp from the factory 10GB hard drive to the 80GB hard drive (WD800BB) I added. I am using 10.4.11 Tiger and need to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard. However, 10.5 requires 9GB free space, the 10GB factory drive is really 9.5GB. This cuts it really close. I still have the original install disks for 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and willing to "clean" the 10GB hard drive as it only holds the OS. Any suggestions?
Go to System Preferences > Syatem > Startup Disk to make the change.
Suggestion - Get rid of the 10G HD. HDs are very cheap today. Get a larger HD, like 100-120GB.
Based on your profile listing that you have a G4 sawtooth, nbut 1.8GHz processor. I assume you have upgraded the processor speed.
The sawtooth can only use HDs up 128GB. Look at these links.

How can I change the startup location if sunstudio?
Hello all
when I start the sunstudio it creates me the .sunstudio directory in my $HOME dir ,
how can I change it so it will create me the .sunstudio directory in different place
the reason I have no space left in my $HOME dir and I have some space in different location
Thankswhen I start the sunstudio it creates me the .sunstudio directory in
my $HOME dir , how can I change it so it will create me the
.sunstudio directory in different placeYou can override the default user directory using --userdir (note there
are 2 '-' chars in this option). So you could start with:
$ sunstuido --userdir $MYSPACE/my-userdir
There is also 2 locations the startup script looks for configuration files
(a configuration file is just a file containing some options you want
used every time you start the IDE). One of these locations is in your
home (~/.sunstudio/ide.cfg). Do you have enough space in your
home to add a small text file? The file only needs to contain 1 line:
--userdir $MYSPACE/my-userdir
If you don't have enough space in your home directory for that,
you could use the 2nd config file if you have a private copy of
Sun Studio. If you're using a shared version then you probably
can't do that and would have to type the command line option each
time.
The 2nd config file is <install-dir>/netbeans/3.5V11/bin/ide.cfg
(where <install-dir> is /opt for a default install). If you are running
sunstudio from /opt/SUNWspro/bin then <install-dir> is /opt. If
its some other path then <install-dir> is whatever comes before
the SUNWspro part.
If you're running an older version of Sun Studio (ie, older than
Sun Studio 11) then the 3.5V11 would be 3.5V, 3.5M, or 3.5R,
depending on what version of Sun Studio you're using.

How do you change the startup volume when you turn on your mac?
Is there a control panel to change the chimes sound in system preferences or something? I'm not wanting to mute it completely but make it a little quieter. Resetting the PRAM only brings it to max volume. Thanks guys!

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS
How can I change the name of item in TableViewController? I want to be able to change the title of an item if I added one. Code:
// ViewController.m
// Movie List
// Created by Damian on 20/02/15.
// Copyright (c) 2015 Tika Software. All rights reserved.
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
These outlets to the buttons use a `strong` reference instead of `weak` because we want
to keep the buttons around even if they're not inside a view.

Sounds like you have more going on than just a simple issue with Home Sharing and more dealing with Wi-Fi syncing. Start with the article below and see if that may resolve it.

If it does not work out, then may I suggest contacting Apple for further assistance to walk you through it or just take that time that you were talking about to sort it out.

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?
Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update. -

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.
To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID. -
How can I change the default web form names?
I'm using the web forms in Business Catalyst, but our web site is in Norwegian, so I want the default FirstName and LastName values to be displayed in Norwegian in the error message when the field is not filled out.
At the moment the user will get an error saying "Skriv inn First Name". "Skriv inn" is correctly translated from English to Norwegian, but the value "First Name" has to be changed. The same applies for "Cell Phone Number".
Also, I don't really want two fields for the name, I want the form to have just one field that is called "Name" or "Navn" in Norwegian.
I have tried deleting the name fields and replacing them by custom fields, but then I get an error message when the form is sent saying "ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page."
Also, why does some of the "-" before the error have a space, and some not? I want all the errors to be displayed with a space between the dash and the error.
The e-mail error is automatically translated into Norwegian for some reason, but it should be a dash in there, so it says "e-postadresse" and not "epostadresse".
Is there anywhere I can customize these error messages? Or at least change the values of the English fields to Norwegian so the error messages display the Norwegian field names, and not the English?That is very helpful! Thank you!
But how can I change the dashes that are shown before the error? It really annoys me that they are shown inconsistently with different spaces like this:
- Error 1
-Error 2
- Error 3
-Error 4
And is there any way to change the automatic translation from English to Norwegian? -
My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here: -
