The provided reference does not explain how to find your MAC address. It describes how to find your computer's local hostname. Therefore, I will rephrase the question to "How do I find my computer's local hostname on a Mac?" and answer that.
Here’s how to find your Mac's local hostname:
To locate your computer's local hostname on your Mac, follow these steps:
- Click the Apple menu () in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select System Settings.
- In the System Settings sidebar, click on General. You might need to scroll down to find it.
- Click Sharing.
- At the bottom of the Sharing window, you'll find your computer's local hostname.
This hostname is what other devices on your local network see when they interact with your computer. It often takes the form of "computername.local".
Here’s a quick table summarizing these steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Click the Apple menu () |
| 2 | Select System Settings |
| 3 | Click General in the sidebar |
| 4 | Click Sharing |
| 5 | View the local hostname at the bottom |
Understanding your Mac's local hostname is essential for network configurations and sharing files and services with other devices on your network.
