I'm sure I had this option before, but now I dont see it anymore. I rightclick on any file or folder and there is no "rename" option in the popup menu. Can someone help me?
Got a tip for us?

You can either right click and chose "get info" or click once on an icon then click again on the name.

Yeah, using the Return key is easiest and it even leaves the extension alone so you can just type in the name of the file. So if it's a PDF, when you hit Return it will leave the .pdf extension alone.
The Windows to Mac transition will be a lot easier than you think as you can see so far.🙂
