Finding the computer name on a University Owned Mac.

The computer name is found in the "System Information" menu.


1. Click on the Apple menu, hold the Option key and select System Information...


2. The computer name will be at the bottom of the System Report screen, next to a miniature icon of the computer being used. The computer name is on a light-blue background at the bottom of the window.
If your Mac does not boot, you can instead provide your IT support staff with the serial number of your Mac.
