Thread: Help again...please (MAC)

Guess who....

I recently brought the missus a bacbook (bloody awesome little machine too) and while setting it up noticed they hadn't upgraded the hdd like I had asked. The shop sent me out a new one to pop in piece of pie and then through some wrangling I managed to score the original at a nice price for my MBP (as it was a 120gb running on Tiger).

After a quick youtube tutorial on replacing the hdd in mine I had it up and running in no time, but.... I can't seem to change the "home" name from my wife's name to mine so has anyone got any suggestions on what I need to do? I did go into system>accounts and changed it so I am now the admin etc but that still hasn't changed the hdd. So if I go Mac HD>users I see see the house icon with my wife's name (hope that makes sense).



Cheers for any thoughts.

So when you boot up your puter is says Mrs cimboc is that right? Is that all that is wrong with it?

well actually since I have swapped over the internet keeps crashing on mine although they are assigned different IP addresses I still wonder if its to do with the name - when I turned it on the first time it noticed B*** was already being used and said it needed to use B***-1


I also need to try to find oujt how to change the autofill as it tries to use B's details....

Can't you just f2 the HD and change the name like you can on a proper computer?

Should have bought a windows machine
