Change computer name under Mac OS X - Here's how
In this practical tip we explain how you can change the computer name under Mac OS X.
Change the computer name under Mac OS X via shares
By default, your computer name is based on the "s" scheme. If you'd rather name your Mac yourself, you can do it in Settings:
- Open the "System Settings" via the apple icon in the top left.
- Select the "Shares" option here.
- Under "Device name" you will find the current name of your computer, e.g. B. "Peters MacBook Air".
- Click in the text field and enter your desired name. Mac OS X automatically saves the change.
