How do i rename my imac fully

i just got this imac yesterday and it wasent new i booted it up and it was logged in. no welcome video no set up. but i got the mouse and keyboard thats all i got but thats not the problem i was having i needed to rename my mac u see and i needed to restore my mac with that but i cloudent either but then again i just decided i just wanted fully to rename my mac but the only part that got renamed was the sharing center and i cant do anything with the mac cause the serial number is not in my mac so im trying this so is there any way to fix any of this?

The imac was used and sold to me i bought it from amazon when i turned it on it was already logged in no welcome video no nothing so i decided to restore it but when i tried to place the mac os x snow leopard dvd in it would take it for a few seconds and eject it automatically i bought the snow leopard disc from apple.com store a few months back hoping to have enough money to buy a mac that had snow leopard installed.
The disc of the snow leopard is Version: 10.6.3
And my mac is running snow leopard 10.6.8

  • How can you rename your iMac owner's name after migration to new iMac?

    I bought a new iMac and after the migration of old files etc to new one, it retained the owner name of the old one and I can't find out how to change it.
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Never mind, the solution came up after I submitted the question and all is fine.

  • How do I rename my mac mini server

    How do I rename my late 2012 Mac Mini Server?
    Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory    4     GB  1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics   Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Software    OS X 10.9.2
    I was told that using  the command line, type:
    sudo -s  enter password, next
    csutil --set HostName example.com
    scutil --set ComputerName whatever
    scutil --set  LocalHostName whatever
    I was also told that this may work well on new installations, but there may be a different procedure for renaming.
    Is anyone acquainted with these procedures?
    Thanks Everyone.

    See Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
    Boot the Mini into TDM. Boot the iMac normally. The Mini's startup volume should appear on the iMac's Desktop. You can then treat it as any other disk drive. You can use Disk Utility to erase the Mini's drive. If you boot the iMac from an installer DVD then the Mini's drive should become available in the installer as an available target for the installation.
    See:
    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • How do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    Hey rodskc10,
    Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
    Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
    For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
    For additional information, see this article:

    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

  • Recently I bought a mini DVI to HDMI converter  from eBay for my iMac 21.5 Mid 2011, but only later I realised that it does not have the mini DVI port in that. How can I connect my iMac to a LG smart TV through a HDMI cable?

    This is the picture of all the ports from my iMac
    This is the mini DVI to HDMI converter which I bought from ebay. And I have the HDMI cable to connect it to my TV
    Could anyone please suggest me a solution how I could connect my iMac to the LG smart TV? Also I need to know if this transmits the audio as well to the smart TV?
    Suggestions are welcomed. I really appreciate and thank you for your time

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
