Migration assistant problem

Ran migration assistant on my new Air, after the Air was setup.

I used the timemachine backup from my MBP including the user info.

I kept the user from the backup and deleted the original user from the air.

Then I changed the old backup username to a new one.

My problem is my home folder and computer name are now the same as my MBP. Can I change these to reflect the new Air?

If you follow this procedure, then yes.

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872 -- for changing the home folder/account name SAFELY. Follow the instructions CAREFULLY, as your entire account is at risk if you screw it up.

Changing the network computer name is very simple: just go to sharing and change it there. It can be anything you want as long as the name is not in use by some other computer on the network.
