[QUOTE="fdcampbell16, post: 1028147, member: 149540"] I see the name for my computer under the Devices section in the Sidebar, but I do not have an option to change the name. When I bought my MacBook, I just did a Time Machine backup from my iMac, and now my device name has the word iMac in it and it just looks stupid since this is a MacBook. How do I change that name? I have searched all throughout System Preferences and I cannot find it. :( It is driving me crazy. [/QUOTE]
