Hello,
I did a factory reinstall on my macbook pro 2015 13 retina display.
I deleted the hard disk and the partition then I installed yosemite.
When everything was done i went to disk utility and found out that the hard disk and partition was named untitled. I was able to change the partition to Macintosh HD.
How can I change the hard disk name ?
Someone told me to reinstall again. Will that help ?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 8.4.1
Go to Finder and right click on the disk in question and select Get Info. In lower left click o nthe padlock and enter your admin password. Then change the name
Hello Thanks for replying.
But can't find the disk untitled in the finder.. What to do?
What is the format of the HD? A HD//storage only shows if OSX can access/mount the disk
Hello,
i don't know which format I bought my MacBook Pro retina 13(early 2015 edition) yesterday.
i just reinstalled Yosemite to the hard drive through command r in the boot up. Now the hard disk says untitled. I was able to change the name of partition. I am new to Mac.
Is this the only disk you have?
What shows under Devices in the left hand side of Finder?
Does it show on your Desktop? (Finder>Preferences>General the box marked Hard drives is checked)
Thanks for taking time to helping me out.
This is out of the box Retina Macbook Pro 13. I haven't done anything else to it. I purchased the laptop yesterday.
On the below photo you can see all the devices after I marked everything in Finder>Preferences>General the box.

Just be very careful with using Terminal since an error in entering the text can prevent booting and do other bad things
Ok. I will do this. First time for me. But do you know what the original name of the hard disk is that came with the laptop
Also How come it says remote disc in devices. I tried to eject it does not work. I don't know what it is. I don't have anything connected to the laptop
Finally worked on first try
IN command (Simple as that)

diskutil cs rename "Untitled" "Macintosh HD"
The Apple name seems to be not standard. On my 2013 Mac Pro it is 500.28 GB APPLE SSD...
This is what Remote disk is:

To remove, I would not, see:
OK. Thanks again Illaass.
I have the 2015 early retina macbook pro with around 250 Gb SSD. Can you find out what the original name of it was ?
I can't find put.
I would start a new discussion asking that specific question.

diskutil cs rename "Untitled" "Macintosh HD"
Is the "cs" supposed to be in there? Looking at the man page for diskutil, it appears to me that it should be:
diskutil rename "Untitled" "Macintosh HD"
or equivalently (?)
diskutil renameVolume "Untitled" "Macintosh HD"
I have a blank external drive that I will try it on sometime in the next few days. I will report back after that.
(I am on Mountain Lion; the man page is dated 19 February 2013; I get the man page by running the following in terminal:
man diskutil
Yesterday I was running the GUI disk utility under Lion. Difficult to believe changing disk name can't be done with the GUI. I had two drives that had the same name but I didn't notice until I was I was in the middle of formatting and then I got real nervous about which one was I modifying! After that I decided no more fiddling until I could the new one a unique name.)

Very late answer, but this is also one of the few postings that discusses CoreStorage and Fusion drives.... So....
It's correct.
The "diskutil cs" is shorthand for "diskutil coreStorage", and it's part of the command that's necessary for Fusion drives and various sorts of encrypted volumes; for volumes that are using CoreStorage.
The diskutil cs (or diskutil coreStorage) syntax is not used for various other types of disk volumes; for non-cs volumes.
change name of hard disk not partition
