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 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 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:

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:

Is it possible to fix the chassis, broken axle Macbook air

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to fix the shaft on my MacBook Air, or if it is completely impossible?
Believe that my warranty expired last year :/
I am enclosing pictures so you can see where the error is:

Hello Samir,
Apple has/had a program in place for the hinge issue on the 1st (and I believe 2nd) generation MacBook Air. Even if the machine is currently out of warranty. I'm a bit foggy on the specifics as it was never itemized with the normal repair extension programs - http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
Your best bet is to contact AppleCare and inquire for more specifics.

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.

Is It Possible To Change The Name Of My Ipod

Under the Summary tab when iTunes opens, it shows the name of my Ipod. Is it possible to change this name as it shows my name before I got married recently?

Connect your iPod to your computer, when it appears in the iTunes source list click on it's name once to highlight it.
Click on it's its name again.
The text box will open for editing.
Type a new name.

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.

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

currently my dad is listed but i want to have my name in it.
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.
