Hi My wife has an intel based iMac running Snow Leopard. When I originally set the software up I used my name rather than hers for the home folder. Big mistake!
I have been trying to work out how to change the name and googled ‘Snow Leopard rename home folder’ which returned, among other things, a link to an Apple Support article at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428 This all looks straightforward once you have logged in as the root user. Another article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528 explains how to do this. Only problem is, Directory Utility doesn’t appear to exist the machine. It should be in Applications/Utilities, I believe. When I look on our other macs, which are still running 10.5.8, I can see Directory Utility at this location. Is it now invisible or is it just plain absent? Any advice anyone? If I copy this and ‘Directory’ into Snow Leopard from another machine and try to enable root user will it work or will the whole thing go egg-shaped? Kind regards John
