change the name of macbook

Hello

I have a retina MacBook Pro running El Capitan and here, that's what I saw today when I opened the Terminal:

My user name is displayed correctly before the ' $', even if I hide, but I do not understand why he invites "pc30?

I'm pretty sure it was: «...» "of the Macbook Pro"

After some research, I checked the system preferences > sharing, and hence the name is actually '...'s MacBook Pro "so everything seems good!

But I found the name 'pc30' still in Active Directory: (System Preferences > users > options > join > directory utility > ActiveDirectory)

And there, I can not change the ID of the computer! When I try to write something else too much, the changes are not saved...

That's all I could not solve this problem after doing some research, do not hesitate if you drove everything!

Thank you!

(Sorry for my English code :/)

Finally, I fixed that with the command:

sudo scutil --set HostName "The new name"

Then type password and restart the Terminal and it must show:

The new name:~ username$

  • Change the name of the file of "Import.xls" selection in Applescript

    Hi, I'm a tiger, but I try to change the name of a file in a folder (which can be any name that is) a name known.  In the end, just trying to import a file known to filemaker and need the name to be a known name.  That's what I have so far, but I have simply not success.  This goes to the folder 2 window and selects the first file... no problem, but, I can't seem to change the name of 'import.xls '.  Only excel files will be present in this folder, so I'm not worried about it.

    The other thing I would do is if there is no file in this folder to jump above everything and do nothing.

    Thanks for your help!

    Tell application "Finder".

    activate

    the value target of Finder window 2 to folder "Orders_to_Enter" of folder "Documents" of the file 'MINIJOHN'from folder 'Users' of startup disk

    Select the first file of the window of Finder 2

    Try

    the value the name of the selection of "IMPORT.xls".

    end try

    end say

    Hello

    No need to manipulate the selection. You can just write something like this:

    set d to (path to documents folder as string) & "Orders_to_Enter:" as alias
    tell application "Finder"
        --open item d -- optional
        tell (item d's file 1 whose name extension = "xls")
            try
                set name to "IMPORT.xls"
            end try
        end tell
    end tell
    

    Tested under OS X 10.6.8.

  • How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport

    My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?

    Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.

    But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...

    Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Click on the image of the time Capsule

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click the disks at the top of the next window

    Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".

    Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player

    In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.

    Click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the changes you have made

  • TB is automatically changing the name of the sender

    Here's a strange. Whenever I get an alert message from Twitter to one of my email accounts, TB change the name of 'From' to 'James Smith (via Twitter)'. This includes anything sent from the address "[email protected]". I checked all my Message filters, and there is no rule, put in place to rename incoming emails from Twitter, so I'm stumped.

    For the record, I doubt that this has nothing to do with Twitter. It is a question of Thunderbird.

    What is in the source code headers?
    Select E-mail
    Click on "More" and select "view source".

    Y at - it any mention of "James Smith (via Twitter)"?

    Check address books, including ' collected addresses:
    Y at - it any mention of "James Smith", associated with an email address @twitter.com? It might be in a name section "display".

  • Changed the name of data

    SUMIFS (data: $C, data: $B, $A2, given: $A, "> =" & B$ 1, data: $A, "<" & (EOMONTH(A1,0) will GET ($1.0 B) + 1))

    It's the formula that I used until I changed the names of "data Plan". The original names were:

    A1

    A6

    A12

    B1

    B6

    etc...

    I changed the plan of names...  I want to start all over again... The original formula still works?

    The original formula should still work as long as the new plan names are spelled the same in both tables.
