[QUOTE="SteveOh, post: 1031022, member: 150129"] I had a 3rd party rebuild my computer after a hard disk failure. The company put in my name during the Snow Leopard install (for example Bob Jacobs which BTW isn't my real name). Somehow that info is embedded in the system and it reappears often enough to annoy me. I installed some software and the new client name is "Bob Jacobs's Mac Pro". This is really annoying! Where do I dig to change this to something more reasonable. It's not in the Sharing or Internet/Advance locations in System Preferences. I suspect that I'll have to dig deeper than that. Thanks for any help. Steve [/QUOTE]
