I try to rename in finder. Drive is listed as "no name"....in fact have same problem with card from my camera--also "no name."
I'm trying to name my USB "global inequality assessment task" to give to my teacher and my mac is saying "Try using a name with fewer characters, or with no punctuation marks."
It's only letting me give it one letter names.
What do I do?
Good morning
Are you getting any message? That would help us with your question.
In Finder, I right-click on the "no-name" and it offers me a menu, include rename. It doesn't usually accept long names or non aplanumeric characters so. try a very simple name when renaming.
Cheers
Thank you very much. As a new user, I just don't think for "right-clicking" w the trackpad.

Hi brucerx,
Right-click is Control+click on a trackpad.
Cheers,

Thanks for the help. I have had apple devices my whole life and I just switched from my old macbook original that just died to a macbook air and can't quite figure a few things out. This helped 🙂
