- Your Mac's Specs
- 2x MacBook 5,2 4GB 64GB SSD + PowerMac G5 Quad2.5 + iPhone 3GS 8GB + iPod nano 2+3 4GB + iPod 4 60GB
MacBook 5,2 OSX 10.8.1
Bought a used MacBook a couple of months ago, the seller reinstalled Lion but had to create a user account to add his copy of MS Office. He named it User, and I have wanted for a while to change that.
Enabled root user and logged in but can't change the name of my user account folder /User in the folder /Users. I have checked permissions etc. and should be fine to rename it (especially on root) but it just hasn't let me (tried right clicking it, highlighting and pressing enter, double tapping the name slowly)
This has been annoying me greatly for a while now - +1 internet for anyone who can help!
