I found the following on apple's support website, which says the same thing basically: Each user in Mac OS X has a full 'Name' and a 'Short Name' as defined in the Users pane of System Preferences. The short name can contain up to 255 lowercase characters with no spaces (or up to 8 character in Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier). This is the name used to create a user's home directory (also known as the user's Home or Home folder) in the Users folder. If you try to change your Short Name in the Accounts (or Users) pane of System Preferences, it may be dimmed and you cannot change it. But on mine, I only have an 'Accounts' pane (not Users) under system preferences, and the short name doesn't even appear at all. Is there an easy way to change the short name? I haven't even migrated any files over yet.theres nothing on my computer.

If you want to reclaim the space immediately, you can run Compact manually. However, if you deleted a large message (many MB in size), it could take hours or days to recover all of the file space no longer used by the message. Microsoft outlook for mac.

Would it be easier just to start over from scratch? Click to expand.You will find that account information in your Users & Groups pref pane. Click on the padlock to unlock that pane, then right-click on the name under Current User (which is the account that you are, well, currently using). Right-clicking that account name will show Advanced Options. Opening THAT will show you some internal information about your account, such as the Full Name for your account. The Short Name is the name of your home folder, and (I think) is used interchangeably with the Full Name when you would need to authenticate using your account name and password. You normally would not need to enter the user name, as that would normally be provided, so that you know which account you would need for authentication.

So, just to make this short - your account short name is the name of your home folder. The Full Name is listed in your Users & Groups pref pane. My final thought --- If you don't like your short name (or your Account full name), I suggest that you don't attempt changing it to something else, either while in the Advanced Options window, or any other method.

It's really easy to make a mistake (or edit the wrong data), and it can really cause problems. Even something that sounds safe, like renaming your user folder, can leave your system in an apparent shambles. (Did I say that? Don't rename your own home folder, and don't make ANY changes to the Advanced Options, unless you understand the risks, and you know how to back out of that if it causes problems).

Mac is a short form for many words. A McDonald's hamburger. A rain coat - short for MacIntosh. Macaroni (e.g. Mac and cheese). PDCP layer does not perform integrity protection and ciphering for ‘RRC Connection Re-establishment Request’ message sent over SRB0.,Hence the eNB uses the short MAC-I to verify the credibility of the 'RRC Connection Re-establishment Request' message.

MUCH SAFER to create a new user account in the Users & Groups pref pane, named as you like it. It will be a new account, where you will be asked to create a password. Log out of your present account, then log in to your newly created account.

You will find that account information in your Users & Groups pref pane. Click on the padlock to unlock that pane, then right-click on the name under Current User (which is the account that you are, well, currently using).

Right-clicking that account name will show Advanced Options. Opening THAT will show you some internal information about your account, such as the Full Name for your account.

The Short Name is the name of your home folder, and (I think) is used interchangeably with the Full Name when you would need to authenticate using your account name and password. You normally would not need to enter the user name, as that would normally be provided, so that you know which account you would need for authentication.
