Hi, I have just bought a MacBookPro for my daughter and during the set up imported the data from my old PowerBookG4.
I have managed to change the hard drive name on the new MBP from PowerBookG4 HD to MBP HD. Now what I would like to do is change the Computer name to MBP. I checked on the web and followed most of the instructions, which indicated that I go to: System Preferences>Sharing>ComputerName and type in Edit, the new name MBP and away I go. But in the web examples it shows the result as having the new name and the afp://with a series of numbers, on my MBP is has "Other users can access shared foders on this computer, and administators all volumes, at aft://powerbookg4.bigpond/ or "MBP". So is it half changed ? Under the Finder window it shows up under Devices as MBP and MBP HD and Shared as powerbookg4. I don't really want the powerbookg4, how do I get rid of it? Now to make matters worse I still use the PBG4. And when I turn that on, it appear on the Finder's Shared window along with the MBP's "powerbookg4" as PowerBookG4 (3) and powerbookg4-3 So ideally I would like to remove all reference to the PowerBookG4 from the MBP both from its hard drive and its networking, does any one have any idea of how to make this happen?
