How do you lock the name of a hard drive?

I have looked quite a bit through the forums and cannot find an exact answer concerning locking the HD name not the entire drive, just its name. Over the years I have several times, I quess parked the cursor over the name of the hard drive and some how highlighted it and started entering text only to find that I have been typing in the drivename box. Not always a problem, when you catch it right away. I'v come back and found my Macintosh HD named -T, Q or whatever key strokes might have been entered. I have lost drive partitions because I couldn't remember the name I had given it.

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

  • How do I change the name of my hard drive which the photos and libraries are located on without having to relink and recreate folders for photos?

    When I have tried to change the name of my hard drive which my photos and catalog are stored on, when I try and access the new catalog in the new destination yet still same physical hard drive it unlinks all the photos and the folder structure.
    Any way to keep the photos or at least the year folders so as to more easily relink?

    In the Library module, in the Folders tab on the left, do a right-click "show parent" until you can see the root of the drive.
    From there, if you cannot rename the drive from there, then rename it in the OS finder/explorer. Then you just need to reconnect that one root directory or drive entry and Lightroom will do all the work for you.

  • How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

    How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

    It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
    If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
    If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
    If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name.  My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it.  Why is that?  I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

    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.

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • How Do You Change The Name Of A Folder?

    I have a very simple, almost ashamed to ask, question. How do you change the name of a folder? As always, thanks in advance.

    Howard,
    Click (select ) the folder, hit the return key and start typing...
    Before you start typing, you can go to the beginning, or the end of the title without deleting the title by using the back/forward arrow keys.
