In the terminal it shows MBP I want it to be shown as MacbookPro, how can I?

You can change it to anything you want...

From the Terminal.app

return the default prompt (note the trailing empty space) copy&paste:

export PS1="%n@%m %1~ %# " 

ex. USER NAME@MacBook-Pro ~ %

changed this with:

export PS1="%m %1~ %# " 

New prompt ex: MacBook-Pro ~ %

Edit the command line to suit your needs.

if in doubt google search for more examples

Alternatively if it is just the machine name see >System Setting>Sharing >edit

CAUTION: one solution is to change the name of the Home Folder.

It is DANGEROUS to change the name of the Home folder. We see far too many users who attempted to change the name of the Home Folder, and instead ended up no longer able to log in, and unable to access their data again, ever.

If you feel compelled to have a different name on your home folder, create a NEW Admin Account with the name you like, log in with the new name and copy your files over from the old Account. I recommend you leave both for at least a week to see if you are missing anything before removing the old account.

Its probably based on your home folder name which you change in system preferences-users then right click your user
