Trying to rename a user's folder (the short name of the account), using Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Suppport page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
iMac OS X 10.6.8. previously migrated account -- need to rename the account at the destination.
Step 6 in the support page does not occur. I never get a chance to hit OK to this:
6. Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
A red flag appears in the field that conflicts (either the short name or the full name). The name(s) cannot be changed! must cancel out.
What am I doing wrong?
