Is it possible to change the name of a computer in itunes? And if so, how?

I got a new computer and am giving the old one to my sister... but on our home sharing network it shows as the name I had for it.
So basically if my device (computer) is called pizza... how do I get it named hotdog? I was able to change all other device names like iphone, ipods etc and just want to do the same for the actual computer itself...

I don't think you can change the name of your computer but you can change the name of your itunes library.
iTunes Preference, General Overtype the Name in the Library Name Box,
Then your iTunes library will show the new name

Is it possible to change the name of a report thanks to the report painter

Hello,
Is it possible to change the name of a report thanks to the report painter GRR2?
Thanks!
SB

Hi,
First of all, it's possible to change a report description(title), if that what's you mean. If you want to change a code(name), then indeed you have to copy your report under a new name. To delete the report, first delete it from the report group (via GR52) and then you will be able to delete it.

Is it possible to change the name of the characteristic after the PA is act

Is it possible to change the name of the characteristic after the PA is activated?
If yes what should I do?

Hi,
yes its possible and it works in the same way as the creation of a new characteristic / assigment to an up- and running operating concern.
Thats because the "name" of a characteristic is not stored in a text table but it is the field label of the data element.
Search in the SDN forum if you are unsure how to do that.
Best regards, Christian

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

I changed the name on my computer from the Windows side and now it won't boot to Windows (bootcamped)

I changed the name on my computer on the Windows side and now I cannot boot to Windows 7 (bootcamped). Any suggetions?

Hello cmcnanna,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't starting up or responding at all, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If that does not resolve the issue, you will most likely need to have your iPhone evaluated and/or serviced. You may find the following page useful in that case:

Possible to change the name of shared folders?

I deleted the original shared public folder that looks like "User's Public Folder". When I went to add the Public Folder back it ends up being shared with the name "Public". Is it possible to change this name to something more descriptive? I have several Public folders being shared (several accounts on the computer) and having them all shared as Public makes it a bit hard to determine which account's Public folder you are looking at. Does anyone know how to change the name?

Okay, after some searching around, I figured it out. Primarily I got most of it from here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6266526 , but I added something else to make it work better. The linked post mentioned that they got it to work so you can see "username's Public Folder" when someone file shared from another Mac, but in the Sharing Preference, it would still read as "Public". Well I managed to figure out how to fix that too. Bare with me.
1) Make sure the Public folder in question is set up to be shared in the Sharing Preferences
2) Go to System Preferences > Accounts
3) Control Click the username in question and click Advance Options.
4) Copy the data (the bunch of numbers & letters) from the UUID field. (you'll need it for later, save it to a txt file temporarily, you'll be overwriting your clipboard later)
5) Close System Preferences
6) From the Finder Menu click "Go" > "Go to Folder..." and enter this /var/db/dslocal/nodes
7) Then do a "Get Info" on the "Default" folder and allow EVERYONE read+write access
8) Do the same for the the following two folders, CONFIG and SHAREPOINTS
9) "Get Info" on the "Public.plist" file and allow EVERYONE read+write access (BACKUP THIS FILE)
10) Rename the "Public.plist" to "Username's Public Folder.plist"
11) Open the file in a text editor and change every instance of "Public" with "username's Public Folder" (except for <string>/Users/USERNAME/Public</string>. Thats the actual folder location you don't want to change that.
12) Now what you need to enter this
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
It goes between <key>name</key> & <key>sharepointgroupid</key> sections. It should look like the following:
</array>
<key>name</key>
<array>
<string>Username's Public Folder</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointgroupid</key>
13) Now Paste the UUID number you got before where I have NUMBER written above. Make sure the line spaces and indents match the other entries on the file.
14) Save the file and change the permissions to your new "Username's Public Folder.plist" and the other folders you changed back to EVERYONE "no access".
15) Now the link said to restart File Sharing. I decided to reboot for good measure.
Once done you should see "Username's Public Folder" in the Sharing Preferences and when other Macs try to file share.
Works perfectly for me, and I hope that works for you too!

Is it possible to change the name of my podcast?

I want to change the name of my podcast. Is it possible? Please help.

This depends on the situation. If you were hand-writing the feed (which I assume you aren't) you could just change the 'title' tag. Some podcast creation programs or online service will let you change the podcast name, and doing that and re-publishing will get your name change onto the Store after a couple of days.
However, some programs or services create the feed with a file name which is drawn from the title. If you change the name you will change the feed URL and then iTunes won't know where to look for it and your podcast will cease to update.
So you need to take that into consideration before changing the title.

Click on it's its name again.

Is it possible to change the name of my MacBook Air?

I purchased my first Apple laptop yesterday and while setting it up, I made a typo for the name of my computer (meant to type BloodGrin but typed BloodGrib instead). Sorry for the n00b question, but is there any way possible I can change that?
I know how to change the name for iCloud, but the name of the computer itself if that makes any sense.

Is it possible to change the name of a photo in one album without changing the name in other albums?

I use the photos in events to create more than one album and I want to use a unique name in each album. When I change the name in one album, all instances of the photo also change.

Correct. Albums just reference the photos in an Event - it's why a pic can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space. So, change one and you change all. The alternative is to duplicate the pic in the Event.

Cant find a option to change it anywhere
greets

Sorry, I'm not sure what "account" you're referring to. If you mean the Apple ID you're using, it would be better to set up a new one rather than trying to change the name on your father's Apple ID. If you really need to, though, go here:

If that's not the account you're referring to, please clarify what it is you wish to change.
