Some questions.

[Mac07]

I tried to search for this but not sure if I was using the right terminology.

So when I setup my mac, I was really excited to get in hooked up to the tv...I just kept pressing continue....

-I got to the part where it asks to name your home computer/icon....as I press continue I catch a glimpse of this cannont be changed...and I didn't see a back arrow, so like a total noob I just turned off the power....

Turn back on boots right up but no more setup screen, so two questions did I miss out on some setup options? Also how do I change the name? Do I have to flatline and start from scratch, which is fine since I just got it yesterday.

Other things, I accidentaly dragged the hard disk icon to the trash, and it went poof where is it?

Is there a simple way to delete duplicates/triplicates from itunes? What folder should I drop my music into that I'm bringing over from a pc.

Thanks in advance!

You can change the name of the computer in System Preferences > Sharing.
To change the name of your account (but not the Home Folder) go to System Preferences > Accounts.

To get back your Macintosh HD icon on the Desktop go to Finder > Preferences > General and select what item do you want to be shown on the Desktop.
To get it back into the Finder's Sidebar, move the hierarchy up via CMD+UpArrow and from there drag the Macintosh HD into your Sidebar or go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar.

And in regards to your PM, yes you can change the home folder name by reinstalling everything.

If you use MRoogle, you might find another way though.
