Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini found an astonishingly simple way to accomplish what you seek. etresoft distilled that information into the following User Tip:
Changing user account short name
It is far simpler than the outdated and cumbersome Apple Support document you linked.
Note that he writes it has been tested on Mountain Lion but the procedure appears sound and should work equally well with Mavericks.

  • HT4437 I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K and i want to change the name of it on my iphone to something elce. Is there any way i can do this.

    I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K airplay amp and I want to change the name of it when i am using AirPlay. Is there any way i can do this?

    If it is showing off line, either the battery is dead, the SIM has been removed or the iPhone has been restored. Report it to you carrier. Some offer blacklisting. You can also send a remote wipe to the phone via iCloud. There was also the option to send you an email if the phone is located when you were in Find My iPhone. Report it to law enforcement, change the passwords on all accounts that were on the device. Did you have a passcode on it?

  • I've bought three new ipod products and want to change the name of my old ipod when i plug it into my laptop. how do i do this

    When you plug your ipod into the computer it's name comes up. ie bill's ipod. How do you edit the name. I've recently bought some new ipods and want to change the names of my old ones.

    Double click the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window then type in a new name.

    We can likely help, but we do not know what device that you are asking about....or....what version of AirPort Utility that you have on your computer.

  • How do I change the name of my macbook pro?

    How do I change the name of my macbook pro.  My full name is listed on it and I want to change that.  In the upper right hand corner it is correct but all that lists is my login name.

    Mr. Pat, there are some people who still try to do that, but you are risking losing all your music, photos, email, etc. It is not for the faint of heart.  This page, albeit published in 2003 by Dr. Smoke, is still pretty valid, IMHO:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html
    Here's the opening copy:
    Recover from renaming your Home folder
    It is a grave mistake to rename your Home folder -- changing its file name from johnsmith toJohn, for example -- in an attempt to change the short name for your account when using Mac® OS X.
    Here's a newer, last scary article from the Apple Knowledge Base:

    I want to change the location of my MacBook Pro. I live in Mexico but I want to have it located in the US so I can access certain sites.

    I have no idea if it's legal or not, but you could use a proxy software to "spoof" your location.

  • Want to change the name of workbook folder in bex

    hello gurus
    i would like to change the name of the workbook folder and the sub-folder in bex, can anyone please tell me how to do?
    please note its not name change of query but its a folder name change.
    thanks in advance
    zam

    Hi Zammy,
    In the Bex Open or Save dialog box you can see the folders. Click on the button to see the Technical names. This is the name of the role. Open it up in PFCG and make the changes. Take care that if you transport this to your production system, and the role is empty in Dev (no workbooks assigned) then the workbook assignment will be lost in BWP as well. So it is a good idea to have a copy of those workbooks on your local system so that you can replace them after the trasnport.
    Hope this helps...

  • Want to change the names of our computers, but how ?

    over the last few months, we've renewed our set-up, and got things networked together - for the first time, so there was a learning curve ! Actually, it wasn't so bad ... the various ins & outs of permissions being now the main cause of occasional falterings. Anyway, being now got on top of it all (well, almost), we'd like to go back & change the names of our various devices - SWMBO's taken over my iPod Touch, for example, and the iMac seems to have renamed itself somehow along the way, so it now has the name we gave it but with the number 2 in parentheses at the end (goodness knows how that happened) ... only, for the life of me, I can't see / find-out how to do it ... it's probably very easy to do, it's probably that I can't see for looking ... but, any ideas, please ?

    No worries.
    For the iPhone/Touch, connect the device to your Mac. You should see it listed in the iTunes sidebar. Click on the name twice, and you should be able to rename it in exactly the same way as you can rename a file or folder in Finder.

  • How do I Change the Name of My MacBook and Why was it Changed after the Upgrade to Yosemite?

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my MacBook Air (2012) to Yosemite a few months back and it changed the name of my Mac from "Alan's MacBook" to "Alan MacBook Air (2)." I simply want to know how to change it back to the original name. Also, why was it changed in the first place after my upgrade to Yosemite?
    Thank you so much!!!
    Alan

    This was a common bug in Yosemite. Follow dwb's instructions but also restart your router. Make sure you're running OS X 10.10.2 since it was supposed to have been addressed with that update.
    I have heard allegations regarding simultaneous use of both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (or equivalent adapter, considering it's a MBA) but can find no justification for them, and I never personally observed any correlation to it. It's perfectly acceptable to use both.
