After restoring ipod is simply called ipod. How do i change the name again

Since i got an error on my ipod (discussed elsewhere), i was adviced to do a reset. I did so, but now, after restoring it calls itself simply ipod. Itunes does start up with my pod, but simply states it as ipod too.
How can i make it ask for a name again ?

Can you please let us know which responses helped the most or solved your thread. The reason is so one can use this post as future reference. I noticed that you marked this thread as solved, can you let us know what helped. You can also award points to the users that helped (two) and the one that (solved). This is not that important, but it shows the quality of answers by the number of points one user has (when levels are put back. They are based on the number of points from being awarded helpful or solved). As I said, the points don't matter that much, it is know which post helped that does.

  • How Do I Change The Name Of My IPod

    I purchased a used Shuffle on E-Bay. Works great. Only problem is when I sync it, it say's Danny's IPod and I am not Danny!! How do I change the name??

    hi there
    give this a go:
    open a Finder window...control+click on the Shuffle...go to Get Info...go to Name & Extension...then type the new name.
    //or// if the shuffle appears on your desktop, just click twice on the "wording" of the shuffle - and type the new name.
    I change the name of my USB drives and I do it the same way. it should work the same for your shuffle.
    good luck danny - i mean, robert!!!!

  • How can i change the name of my ipod

    bought my son a new ipod so by default i get his old one (which is better than mine) how can i change the name on it - thanks

    Connect your iPod to the computer. Once it shows up in the source list of iTunes (the window on the left where you see "library", "playlists", "podcasts" etc), double click on it and this will highlight it and you can then type a name for it.

    My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer.  For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it.  I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud.  How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

    Hi....How do you change the name?  When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

    Unfortunately it is not doing it....
    Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
    Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.
