  • How do you change the name on your computer

    How do i change the name of my computer it was my friends now its mine how do i change there name to my name

    Here is the information I had found, however I have never had to try. You will have the passowrd too, so the above will help for that.
    For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
    Enable the root user.
    Log in as root.
    Navigate to the /Users folder.
    Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
    Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
    Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
    After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
    Disable the root user.
    Hope this helps you

  • How do you change the name of your iPhone

    Is that in a setting in the phone?
    Here is my scenario. I just got a phone, it had a bad wifi antenna and a funny pixel, so Apple replaced it (thank you). Since I had only had it one day, I had only done one back up in itunes. So, I decided to start from scratch and delete the backup. When I plugged in my phone for the first time, it went through the process of first time "iphone meets itunes" set up. I notice now, I just have a name of "iphone." I thought before I actually had my name "my name's iphone." Is there any particular reason that didn't happen again? How do I modify the name of "iphone" to my name?

    thanks. I starred it for you. I wonder why the first phone put my name in there and this one didn't. Everthing I did was the same.
    Further:
    I changed it in the itunes left column. Does that name not carry over to iTunes-Preferences-Devices??

  • How do you change the name of your iphone? Is that even possible?

    In the settings window, and the general tab, then about,  it has a string of random letters and numbers. Is it possible to personalize it a bit?

    Thx Allan,   my phone screen doesn't look like that. The name of my device in in the gray area at the top, it's not accessable. I tried for the first time last night to plug the phone into my laptop and in itunes it does not recognize my phone at all. the phone is running 4.2.6, and the laptop is a month old. I installed itunes on it, and authorized it, but on the left margin on the itunes screen, it doesnt show anything about any devices. And when i plug the phone into the laptop, the pop up box asks about pictures and videos, doesnt mention music or itunes at all. Ugggh!

  • How would you change the name of your mac? because i have a mac but its under my friends name because he set it up for me and i would like in under my name how would i change that?

    ?

    Hi D,
    That would do nothing as one needs to select an item at first in order to be able to select all, but I would like to know what is the information you would like to know about the OP's machine and, if possible, the reason.
    The correct procedure is the one that A posted before.

  • 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.

  • How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

    How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

    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.
    Regards.
