an embarrassing question
Hi, I haven’t been a mac user for too long, and when I started out I really didn’t know the commands well at all, so ended up pressing wrong keys very often. Anyway, during all that nonsense I managed to screw up the word Macintosh in the finder. Problem is I can’t figure out how to correct the problem. It now says acintosh and I can’t figure out how to put the m back in there. Could someone please help out a dumb user?

Don, I think if you press the Return key, you can edit the name.

Re: an embarrassing question
It actually says Macintosh HD, right? And it's on your desktop? Okay, vokeys-arrow over to it and press return. It will say acintosh HD contents selected. Don't start typing or you'll have to type the whole thing because you will be replacing the name instead of adding to it. Left arrow and make sure you are at the beginning of acintosh and type the capital m (it's okay to then left and right arrow through the word to make sure it's right but don't use vo-keys, just arrows) and then press return again. Don't panic if you then get finder has no windows just command-tab away and back again and everything should look fine. Nothing dumb about this. I accidentally did this and ended up searching on google to make sure I hadn't messed up my path to all my files; the panic wasn't necessary but it scared me! I was NOT a new Mac user when I did it plus I had run linux and windows but it still made my heart miss a beat or two! -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.
