From 2001 to 2012, OS X was code-named internally (for development purposes) after big cats. Becuase Apple marketing was also using those code-names to promote OS X publicly, however, the company's development crew switched their internal naming structure to wines beginning with OS X 10.3 — publicly known as Panther, privately as 'Pinot.' (Apple did make one exception for OS X 10.6, which never had a code-name beyond Snow Leopard.)
This is the name usable on the local network, for example myMac.local. Sudo scutil -set LocalHostName name If you also want to change the computer name, type the following command: This is the user-friendly computer name you see in Finder, for example myMac. Sudo scutil -set ComputerName name Flush the DNS cache by typing.
Though Apple's external code-names for OS X switched to California places in 2013, the internal code-names remained wine-based until 2014. In 2015, the development team switched to types of apples, with OS X 10.11 El Capitan (AKA 'Gala').
In 2016, OS X officially became macOS, though Apple continued using California places as the external code names, and apple types as the internal code names. So far, this has remained the internal code name across the board.

Name For Macos 1 10 3
Hello there! I am currently new to this site. Thank you for checking out my question.
A bit of background information. From what I know, my friend attempted to use Migration Assistant from a Macbook onto the Mac mini I am writing about. For whatever reason, probably because of the background of the Macbook (Looked like a school computer), several things are now locked on the computer. I am going to ask, firstly, the thing that personally bothers me most.
The problem is its name. The name is stuck as, exactly, STE3M19-02$. The pane where it is located is grayed out, and I attempted to use a Terminal command to change the name, which did work for a time, only to find it changed back the next time I booted it up. I attempted this Terminal method twice.
As noted in the title, this Mac mini (Model A1176) is primarily running OS X 10.6.8, with a separate partition for 10.5.0. In addition, if needed, it includes a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, an upgraded 2 GB of ram, and 120 GB of storage.
Feel free to ask any other questions that may help to the solving of this problem.
