The Guy Named Bob Mac OS

Tim Conner recently noted the release of a new AppleScript called BlogScript. The script takes advantage of the new XML-RPC feature in Apple's recently released Mac OS X 10.1 update. Mac OS X has several amazing features that are hidden from the user. If you have been using Mac for a couple of years then, we are sure you would have stumbled across a few Mac hidden features. Many users are unaware of these secret Mac functions even after several years of using the Mac OS X.

The name of your macOS user account and the name of your home folder must both be the same. Changing these names does not change or reset the password of your user account.

Because doing this incorrectly could damage your account and prevent you from logging in, you should back up your important data before proceeding.

First rename the home folder

1. Log out of the account you're renaming, then log in to a different administrator account. (If you don't have another administrator account, you can create one in Users & Groups preferences.)
   
2. Open the Users folder on the startup disk. It contains the home folder for each user. To get there, you can choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar, then enter /Users.
3. Rename the user's home folder without using any spaces in the new name. You'll be prompted to enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in. If you're using file sharing to share the home folder, you won't be able to rename it until you stop sharing the folder.

Then rename the account

While still logged out of the account you're renaming, follow these additional steps:

1. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
2. Click , then enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in.
3. From the list of users on the left, Control-click the user you're renaming, then choose Advanced Options.
4. Change the 'Account name' field to match the new name of the home folder. It should have no spaces.
   
5. The account name also appears in the 'Home directory' field, after /Users/. Change that account name to match the new name of the home folder.
6. If you want to change the full name associated with your account, update the 'Full name' field as well. It can be any name, and you can use either the full name or the account name to log in to your Mac or make changes that require your name and password.
7. Click OK, then restart your Mac.
8. Log in to the renamed account, then verify that your old files and folders are visible and the account is working as expected.
