How Do You Rename Your Mac? - TorBooster - 06-02-2024
Hey everyone!
I’m trying to figure out how do you rename your mac, but I’m not sure where to start. I want to change the name that shows up on my network and in Finder, but I can’t seem to find the right settings.
Is it something I can do in System Preferences?
If anyone has a step-by-step guide or tips on how do you rename your mac, I’d really appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot! 😊

I also found that after changing the name, it took a little while for the new name to show up in Finder and on the network, so be patient if it doesn’t update immediately.

Just go to System Preferences > Sharing, and at the top, you’ll see a field to change your computer name. It’s that easy!

If you’re connected to a network, remember to restart your Mac after the change just to make sure everything syncs up properly.

Hey everyone!
I just went through the process of renaming my Mac, and it’s pretty simple! You can definitely do it through System Preferences.

I had a similar question last week, and following the steps from here worked like a charm. Just make sure you’re using an admin account to make the changes.
