Default Can a Macintosh person tell us how to change the name of a file?

The Windows users had no problem changing the name but all the Macintosh
users complained they can't change the name and I can't tell them HOW to
change the name. It's really important that I get these Macintosh users to
hear the file!


Use Get Info from Finder. In the Name and Extension panel, type in the name.
Unclick Hide extension if shows up.


Alternative 1: Open Terminal and use the mv command.

Alternative 2: Unmount the filesystem, and mount the volume as a block special
device. Seek the sector with the directory, read it, alter it, write out. Close
the file and remount the filesystem.
