Changing Name Of External HD ?

[Robert4]

Hi,

Dumb question, but I just don't see how to do it.

Have a new WD external 1 TB hard drive.

Shows on the desktop when plugged in as "My Passport".

How do I go about changing the name of this external HD to something else ?
Can't seem to find an option on any pull-down menu to do it.

Thanks,
Bob

Click on the name, then it should become renameable. Note, I believe this won't work if you don't have write access to it due any specific filesystem that macOS can't write to, such as NTFS.
