Sorry......more questions....

Hello again Mac Folk,

A few questions,
How do i rename the computer......I can reset the password but the name of the mac stays the same..........?
I have a stereo speaker system with a sub woofer.....my powermac is going straight into this via the line out. I have taken the stereo out from my PC & put it into the line in on the powermac.....even though there is volume registering on the bar there is no output from the speakers. any ideas?
I think that i'm missing something really silly.....can't for the life of me see it.

This Mac is a truly wonderful thing....I just need to get used to it/& it to me.

I look forward to anyones nuggets of wisdom with regard to this prob..

Cheers again http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/mac_images/images/smilies/Wink.png

Try System Preferences -> Sharing -> At the top you can edit the computer name. I think that is where you can change the name.

I am a little confused about the audio setup. Why is the PC going into the powermac?
Anyway you can check System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and make sure the output is going where you expect.

From Mac Help (Finder > Help > Mac Help):

Renaming your hard disk
Your computer’s internal hard disk is named “Macintosh HD” by default. If you want, you can rename it.

To rename your hard disk:


Click the hard disk icon on your desktop and press Return.

If you don’t see the hard disk icon, choose Finder > Preferences, click General, and select “Hard disks.”


Type a name.

You can use numbers and most symbols. You cannot include a colon ) or start the name with a period (.).


Press Return.

Changing the name of your hard disk does not change the name of your computer when it appears on a network.
