rekr321 Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I was setting up my G4 tower to give my mom at her place, so when I installed OS X 10.2 I named the computer "Mom's Computer", well long story short I couldn' part with my G4 sporting the new OS so I gave her one of my old PC's (she likes it better anyway), my question is how do I change the computer name to soething else, I can't stand seein mom's Computer on the top bar when I open the computer window up.

Gator Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I think you are talking about the short name, right? I have no idea if you can change that, I have tried with no luck. What you could do is create a news user and delete your mom's account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekr321 Posted October 1, 2002 Author Share Posted October 1, 2002 No I already deleted her account and made mine, I'm talking about the actual computer name, the one you see when you click on Finder from the dock, its wriiten across the window heading bar(the one with the maximize,minimize, close buttons).
