Hello,
At 23 years of age and having spent around 18 of them using command prompt/Windows based OS's I have just inherited an iMac from my Father. It is, as far ask I know, maybe a year old, 2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1024Mb Ram, 160Gb Hd and did have OS X Tiger but was upgraded to Leopard.
Anyway it's very nice and all that but when I turn the thing on it still reads "Father names iMac" and the main folder is titled my fathers name as this is what he chose when he installed the OS. I have tried to change this name but get a message stating "this folder cannot be modified/deleted as MAC OS X needs it".
Is there anything I can do to change these details to my own or would I need to reinstall Leopard to change the default settings. I do not want to poke and play too much through fear of wrecking it.
Many thanks to anyone who can help
