Trying to change the name of my home page

This is the first time I have published a website. I just got my first mac last week and I am trying iweb for the first time. I go the sites out there without a problem, but then I decided I wanted my home page to be called "Home" instead of "Welcome. I attempted to change the name of the page and now everything is all screwed up. I made the changes in iweb and am trying to publish and I keep getting error messages. HELP!!!!!

ldysnwbdr,
Just change the name in the Site Organizer to your left in iWeb, and from the file menu, choose File/Publish All to .Mac.
If you continue to get error messages post pack and tell us what they are. You may find a little help with error messages here.

How can I stop iWeb from changing the name of my home page?

I don't know if my title really makes sense, but I want to use Google Analytics to measure the traffic on my website. I know that 99% of my visitors enter through the main address (www.ozarkmtnescape.com), but are then immediately re-directed to the home page. iWeb changes the name of the main page from the above address to http://ozarkmtnescape.com/Site%203/Ozark%20Mountain%20Escape.html
The people at Google tell me that if I want to start tracking the traffic on the main page, then I have to figure out how to make iWeb stop changing the address of the main site.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

I am trying to change the name in my "from" box

I am trying to change the name in my "from" box. My name has changed and although I have changed the name on the account, I can't figure out how to make the default name in my "from" box change from my previous name to my new name.

You may need to know that (in Snow Leopard at least) you specify multiple possible "From" email addresses as a list separated by commas. Just type them into that little Email Address box*: they'll move over to make room. Then, on your new messages from that point on, a pop-up menu will appear for the From field. Neat, eh?
*-- Notice that you can lie in this box. Your ISP might not let you get away with it, but spammers use this loophole.

Howe how do i change the name of my home folder?

I was completing a form and i noticed that it was commenting in a name that i have never used on this computer. did a little digging and discovered that this name is the name of my "Home" folder. The name is my wife's late husband's name!!!! LoL I have absolutely no idea how that possibly could have become the name of my computer since I have never used that name!!!! Well for some reason I can find absolutely no way to change it. Geez folks, did I somehow stumble in the Microsoft world? I thought Macs were easy! LoL. The name of my computer is correct. Now how do I change the name of my "home" folder, whatever the f**** that is????
Thanks!

How do I change the name of my home directory?

Is it possible to change the name of my home directory once it has been set up?

Your user name and your home directory name are one and the same. I'm not sure whether it is technically impossible for them to be different, but I definitely would not advise that if it isn't. Note that any solution to the problem of changing your username is going to be either hairy and dangerous or incomplete. I would never advise anyone to try it.
Instead, just create a new user with the desired name, migrate your data over to the new user's home folder and delete the old user.

What is the simplest way to change the name of your home directory?

I am not ashamed to say that I am not the least bit intelligent when it comes to macs. I came from PC, I'm learning, here. But I need to change the name of my Home directory and everything I've found online so far has either not worked (double clicking, or clicking twice but not quite double-clicking... um...okay), or described using the root user, which sounds sort of terrifying. Is there an easier way, or should I try to go by some detailed intructions and go for it?

It is a far better method than Apple's support article on the subject, which I will not bother linking here because it's outdated and cumbersome.

How can I change the name of my home directory?

When I first set up my Macbook Pro a year ago, I put my first and last name. I didn't like this and later changed the login name to just my first name, but the "home" directory is still listed as my full name on the side panel in Finder windows. How can I change this, it won't let me rename that.

You should have experienced that same effect when you managed to change you login name. How did you change your login name?
I imagine that has something to do with why everything 'disappeared' when you changed the directory name.
It's actually pretty simple to change the login name, and it doesn't affect files at all.
All I did was change the field labeled "user name".

How to change the name of my Home Folder

I'm just wondering how I could change the name of my personal home folder which is associated with my username. I heard that there's a script I can download or something.

First, before you go messing around with your home folder, make SURE you have a backup. If you have to ask how to make one, this process is not for you-it's advanced, and can mess up your data if done wrong.
1. Open Accounts preferences (>System Preferences...>Accounts)
2. Unlock the lock at the bottom, if necessary.
3. Control (or right) click your account's name, and click "Advanced Options..."
4. (IMPORTANT) Change "Short Name" to what you want the new short name to be.
5. (IMPORTANT) Change "Home Directory" so that the path is right (I.E. if your new short name is "test1", change the path to "/Users/test1"-basically, DON'T CHANGE "/Users/"-just what comes after it-DON'T TYPE THE QUOTES)
6. (IMPORTANT) Click "OK", and restart.
Good luck! AND BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

Trying to change the name of 1 file

I have searched the topic and have not found a solution that works for me,
I am trying to write an AppleScript that will change the name of a single file from path:old.txt to path:new.txt
I have tried
tell application "Finder"
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
end tell
among others and always either receive an error message, access denied or unable to set old file name to new file name

You're missing the point.
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
When you set the name of the file, the Finder needs two things - the original file that you're trying to rename, and the new name you want it to take.
In your revised script you're specifying the existing name (not path) of the file you want to change, and specifying its path along with the new name. That's the wrong way around.
Think of this command in the following manner:
set name of (original file specification) to (new file name)
Now, in the case of the 'original file specification' you need to provide enough information for the Finder to identify the file. You're just saying 'work.txt', but that is not enough (and that's why it's complaining). There could be a hundred 'work.txt' files spread around in different directories on your disk. How is the Finder supposed to know which one you want to change?
A better format would be:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of path to desktop) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
In this way the Finder can absolutely identify which file you want to change (the file 'work.txt' that's on your desktop) and the new name you want it to take.
Now, if the file is not on your desktop you can amend the script to include the relevant path, e.g.:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of folder "blah" of disk "disk name") to "ABC.txt"
end tell
This tells the Finder to look in the folder 'blah' on the specified disk.
You can also do this by including the path to the file in the form:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "disk name:blah:work.txt) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
where you use : to delimit each folder in the path.
Hope that helps.

How can I change the name of my home folder?

Just got a new job. Yeah! Taken over former employees' iMac. I made myself Administrator, seem to be the only log in option. But, my home folder is still in the old guys name. How can I change the name on the Home folder without deleting it and loose all the files? CAN'T loose the files? Help...
Thanks

Changing the existing home folder name is complicated. I recommend you NOT do that.
Instead, create a new User with exactly the home folder name you want, and copy your files over to that new user. Once a few days have gone by trouble-free, and you are certain you have no issues, you can delete the old home folder.
While on the subject of users, Some users prefer the peace-of-mind of using an "ordinary" user account, rather than an Admin account for daily use. This makes it much harder for anything to "sneak" onto your Mac, as you need to authenticate anything to be installed in system directories.
To do this, create a new Admin user, log into it, and demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin user. When actively installing stuff, the Admin username and password will be requested.
