Renaming eMac

[iShane]

Hello All,

I just bought an eMac from someone and its named to they're name
(ie: Jane Doe's Computer) and I was wondering if there was any way to rename it to "Shane Eliason's Computer"

Thanks

System Preferences > Sharing

It's in Computer Name.

Open System Preferences, click on Sharing, and you should be able to change your computer's name on the top.

EDIT: Eidorian beat me to it.

Thanks. It worked. That was really bugging me.

That would bug me too. Kinda like having a ex girlfriend come visit you at work everyday

If it were me, I'd run through the restore CDs that come with the system, they'll clean everything out and make it pristine

Good suggestion - who knows what else may be lurking on that machine...

you got it right. my friend tried manually changing it in finder, acidentally wiped his whole machine, big mess

you can also make a new user and then delete the old one right? or thats not a good way? cause it didnt work when i tried changing it before so i just made a new user and deleted my main one

He's trying to change the computer name, not the user name.
