Change iPad name?

How do I change the name of my iPad?

Hi Eric,
My ipad name under Devices on the left doesn't become active and I can not change it.  If I try right click the pop up window contains "eject", "new playlist" etc, nothing like "rename".  I tried all the names appearing on the screen and nothing.
Thank you,
Gabriel

    You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
    If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.

    If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.

    You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.

  • How do I change the name of my iPad in iTunes??

    Hey guys,
    So recently I really really wanted to change my iPad name, and I did on my iPad settings. HOWEVER, when I checked my managed devices in iTunes on my Mac, it was still the previous name, and I am kinda confused.

    Thanks

  • How do I change the name of my bluetooth keyboard on my iPad?

    I recently was awarded a grant to buy a class set of wireless bluetooth keyboards for my classroom (26). Since I teach at a middle school, the idea of all my students pairing at the same time gives me nightmares. I took the set home and attempted various techniques I've come across to change the name of the bluetooth keyboards (preferences/bluetooth/gear icon/change name) and it seems to work, but whenever I pair it with an iphone or ipad it still just comes up as "Bluetooth Keyboard." Naming these would really help. Thanks!

    Hello:
    I looked as well, but cannot find a way to change the name (except on a Mac).  Apparently, Apple uss the generic name on devices that are really personal ones.

    how do i change the name on my ipad

    Connect your iPad to your computer with the sync cable and start iTunes if it doesn't automatically start. In the left column of iTunes you'll see your iPad's name. If your iPad is syncing, wait for it to complete or cancel the sync. Once the sync is complete, double-click on your iPad's name and the name will become editable. (The device name cannot be changed while a sync is in progress.)

  • How to change the name of a pdf file in iBooks on ipad

    I have a number of appliance and tool manuals  as pdf files uploaded to my iPad. In order to identify them easier I would like to change the names of the files. I changed them in iTunes on my computer but they do not change on the iPad2 when I sync. Is there a  way to do this?

    Greg,
    I had been working on this a while and found what worked.  Save the pdf to your desktop with the file name as you want it.  Open up itunes on half of your monitor.  Drag the file to the library section of itunes (music, videos, books, movies etc...).  When you drag to the library section, it will put it the book section of itunes.  Sync and you will see the file in ibooks on your ipad.  Give it shot.

  • Can I change the name of a MobileMe calendar on the iPad?

    I'm trying to figure out if I can change MobileMe settings from my iPad. Specifically I'm trying to change the name of one of my calendars, which I know I can do from my Mac Mini at work.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    No, you cannot change the name of a calendar on the iPad itself.

    How do u change the name of a folder on the iPad?

    Hold an icon until they start to wiggle (like when you put them in the folder), open the folder by tapping it, and just tap on the name of the folder. Alternatively, you can do this from iTunes too.

  • How to change application name i iPad 2?

    How can i change an application name in my ipad2?

    You can't change the name of any of the apps on the iPad - you can only change the names of app folders on the iPad or the name of the iPad as it appears on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, but you can't rename any of the apps.

    but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well.
    I'm afraid that you can't sync content to an iOS device via Home Sharing (you can only stream it to an iOS device via Home Sharing).

  • I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

    Mac Book Pro
    1TB Time Capsule.
    Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
    However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
    When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
    Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
    So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
    Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
    (And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

    Simply reset the Time Machine.
    See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
    You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
    Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
    Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.
