Apple unveiled the new name of its MacOS Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference held at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. According to Craig Federighi, senior. 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'). VPN Deals: Lifetime license for $16, monthly plans at $1 & more. The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system originally named Mac OS X until 2012 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its 'classic' Mac OS.That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Macintosh computers since their introduction in 1984.

I should think the other, more important, downside is that now I have no idea who in my address book are companies and who are not.
While being an interesting approach to the problem, this really isn't a viable solution at all for anyone with genuine company contacts.

And what if I want to know what company my contacts work for? Or if they actually are a company? This is hardly a hint. This is how to ruin something that works okay. Why not just stick their nickname in one of the name fields if it's so important? In brackets after the surname?

A better idea is to add the nickname in with the firstname, so for example:
firstname: Tony Anthony
Lastname: Bloggs
That way both names will be searchable. You'll need to decide weather to list nickname first or second, depending what you want to sort by.

Or swap First and NickName fields completely aka First: Khai'l NickName: Khai to First: Khai Nickname: Khai'l
Though I agree that it would be nice to see a preference for colloquial name usage especially for the phone.

I just create a duplicate card in Address Book and change the name to the nickname. Then I place those entries in their own Group.

The iPhone can't search the company field if the entry is considered an individual. And it can't search the name fields if the entry is considered a company.
Is that brain-damaged, or what? I love my iPhone, but this is just crazy. I need to search all my fields, incl. 'Note' -- but it should go without saying to AT LEAST search all names & companies.
It's ironic that Apple has the industry-leading Spotlight on the desktop -- but search on the iPhone is in the stone age.

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.
