Personalizing Your Macintosh Computer

You will need to personalize your computer when you first set up the computer. Be sure to use a name that is unique to you. This allows us to easily track and resolve any network problems you may have.

From the Apple menu or dock, select System Preferences, then Sharing. In the Computer Name field, enter the name of your computer (e.g., JADoe). Close the Sharing window.
