[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1841885, member: 38864"] Apple's instructions for how to rename it are found [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205348#mac"]here[/URL], but it looks like you are doing it correctly. They do have a note that the device will reset to its default name if it is paired to more than one Mac, so perhaps that is what's going on here? [B]EDIT: [/B]The only other thing to try if that doesn't help is to delete the Bluetooth preference file, which can be found here: [I]yourhomefolder[/I] » Library » Preferences » com.apple.Bluetooth.plist macOS will rebuild that file from scratch and you will need to re-pair all your devices, but that should fix it if nothing else will.
