The user name on laptop is wrong. How do I fix this?

I gave my husband my Macbook Pro. I did a reformat, and wiped everything, I thought. Although under System Preferences/Users & Groups, it shows his name as Admin, and the only current user. But in Finder, under Users, it shows my name.
Would this cause any permissions problems? Is there a way to fix this?

whyitsbob, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Look at this link. What's my computer's name and address?

  • "SOME" devices can resolve the ALIAS (CNAME record) for a device, but not the REAL name (A record) - Why? How do I fix this?

    I'm running the DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2 on a physical machine on my home network.
    My AD is configured with a non-registered name - let's say it's "home.acme.ca" and the DNS server is configured to host that zone.  I also configured a 2nd zone in the DNS server called "myinf.acme.ca".  They both run on a physical
    server with an IP of 192.168.1.10
    The DHCP server on my Cable Modem is configured to hand out 192.168.1.10 as the only DNS server to every device on my network.  On my servers (with static IP addresses), 192.168.1.10 is configured as the only DNS server available for them. 
    I took the DNS servers from my Cable Provider and configured a Forwarder on my server to send name resolution requests to them only if my DNS server can not answer the request - basically for any name resolution request that does not end with ".home.acme.ca"
    or ".myinf.acme.ca"
    The "home.acme.ca" zone is populated with 'A' records for all of the physical and virtual servers and PC's on my network.
    The "myfin.acme.ca" zone is populated with 'CNAME' records that point directly to the 'A' record in "home.acme.ca" - for example, I have a serve named s000abc123ww.home.acme.ca with an 'A' record providing an IP address of 192.168.1.20 and
    I created a 'CNAME' (alias) record named 'webserver.myinf.acme.ca' which points to the 'A' record 's000abc123ww.home.acme.ca'
    2 of my 6 machines can resolve the alias but not the real name of the server!
    .10 is the Domain Controller.  All of the other machines (except .98) are members of the home.acme.ca domain.
    I attempted to ping 's000abc123ww.home.acme.ca' AND 'webserver.myinf.acme.ca' on the following 6 computers.  I used the fully qualified name in all cases.
    4 of the below machines are able to resolve BOTH names.  The other 2 can resolve the Alias but not the real name!
    I don't understand how this is possible, but I would like to fix it...!!!  Please help?
    .10 - Server 2012 R2 (Physical) -  Hosts Active Directory and DNS.
    .20 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)   -  Runs SQL Server
    .21 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)   -  Runs Apache
    .22 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)  -   Runs Apache.  This is the device I am trying to ping (s000abc123ww)
    .98 - Windows 7 (Physical)
    .99 - Windows 7  (Virtual)
    .21 (which is configured nearly identically to .20 and .22) can resolve and ping the Alias, but not the real name.
    .98 can also resolve and ping the Alias, but not the real name.
    The rest of the machines can resolve and ping both the alias and the real name.
    All of the Virtual Machines are running under Hyper-V on the .10 physical server.
    All the devices are on the same subnet.
    Thank in advance to anyone who can help me understand and correct this problem!

    Hi,
    CNAME resource records are recommended for use in the following scenarios:
    • When a host that is specified in an A resource record in the
    same zone needs to be renamed
    • When a generic name for a well-known server, such as www, must resolve to a group of individual computers (each with individual A resource records) that provide the same
    service, for example, a group of redundant Web servers
    Therefore please try to create your CNNAM record in the same zone and try again.

  • Itunes (latest) shuts down with certain artists after transfer music files to external HD. Songs play if I alter the artist name. What happened and how do I fix this?

    Happened after transferring all itune music files to new external HD. The desktop HD was full. The songs will play but only after altering the artist's name only. Most of the other artists songs work just fine. Would like to fix this just so I don't have different files for the same artist. Perhaps a glitch when transferrring? I use Windows Vista Home Premium. Any help would be most appreciated.

    If this topic has been posted before, could someone paste the link? Been checking out similar posts but no luck yet. Thanks!

    Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

  • My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Ok I forgot my Apple ID questions I went to try to change them but my rescue email is wrong how can I fix this

    Ok I forgot my Apple ID questions I went to try to change them but my rescue email is wrong how can I fix this???

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Hi SheilaStuhr,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get you connected to your iPhone's personal hostpot.
    Basic troubleshooting
    See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
    Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
    If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
    Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS.
    Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
    If you're still experiencing issues, try the steps below.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try these steps:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Turn on Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn on Personal Hotspot.
    If another device can't join your Wi-Fi network, make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
    If the device can't see your Wi-Fi network, check your device name. Windows may not correctly show a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    See how many devices are using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier, the number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three devices at once.
    If the other device still can't connect, turn Wi-Fi off and on for the device.
    Make sure that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see "Unable to Join" or a timeout error when you try to connect a device using Wi-Fi, remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After the device connects, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your iPhone normally. Your device will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi if you put it to sleep or if 90 seconds elapse and no connected devices use Wi-Fi. To share your Wi-Fi network again, tap Settings > Personal Hotspot.
