Change iPod's name itunes 11

Hello everyone,
I'm having troubles to change the name of my iPod Video in version , I restored it and the iTunes automatically gives the iPod my user's name, thing I want to change and can't find the way, if anybody could help me.

In iTunes, choose to show the sidebar from the View menu, select the iPod, click on its name, and type a new name.

"Unkown Error (-50)" when trying to change iPod settings via iTunes

Hello everyone.
I got an 5.5 iPod Video (30gb) for christmas and I can't update the name of the Ipod nor change the settings for music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, pictures or even reset it!
I can however sync music, tv shows, movies and pocasts (not pictures).
So I called Apple the other day and told them about my problem. The guy I was talking to told me that the only option avaible was to send the iPod to Apple and have them repair it. And so I did. It came back today with 1.2 update installed, instead of 1.2.1 which I used before I had the iPod sent for repair. The enclosed papers said that they (Apple) could not find any problems on the iPod itself and it's batterys and that "it met Apples specifications for acceptable performance, usablity and/or functionality."
Yeah well... It doesnt. I'm using a PC with Windows XP, Service Pack 2 and I have USB 2.0. I have the latest version of iTunes and I had the latest firmwire update for my Ipod (1.2.1) and it didn't work.
When I first plugged the iPod in today when it had version 1.2 installed it worked, but the next time I plugged it in.. well, it didnt work. So right now I'm using 1.2.
I've tried re-installing iTunes and restoring the iPod via both iTunes and on the iPod itself. Nothing works. Can someone here help me out?
Btw. I'm using an iPod dock.

Edit: I am able to change settings WHILE my library is beeing synced...

Changing iPod settings on iTunes when iPod is not connected

I got an iPod nano 2GB and would like to change the settings on iTunes without connecting my iPod to it. I don't want iTunes to open when I connect the iPod and want to be able to use it as a disc. When the iPod is not connected there is no option showing on the iTunes screen to make the changes. Can anyone help please?

You have to connect the iPod to change it's settings. If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

How to change ipod's name?

Hi,
I just bought an ipod 160gb and transfered my files. I noticed it gave the ipod my current username's name (the username I am logged on in Windows). I don't want this ugly hardcoded username. I want my name on it (my first name, for instance).
I haven't found where can I change this...
Thanks,
Leo

ok, i did exactly what u said. and i looked at other suggestions they said the same thing. i type my name in, and it changes. but when i disconnect it, the name on the iPod is STILL THE SAME. it didn't change. and when i connect it again, the name is the old one on iTunes. what am i doing wrong?

Changing IPOD's Name

Hi,
I have two questions. The first one is: I subscribed to a podcast and set it to download and keep all episodes.
So far it's downloaded three over a three week period
but only the latest one shows in Itunes. All three do reside in the Podcast folder though. Question Two is:
If I want to sell my ipod can I just erase the music and sell it or do I have to deauthorize it or something in order to erase the name I have given it. Thanks in advance
for the help......Eric

The name can be changed manually in the source list, however if you are going to sell it then it would be simpler just to restore it. Restoring your iPod will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

Changing ipod album name display

On itunes on my computer I can personalize how information is displayed. . If I'm clicked on a folder, I can click "View" and then "View Options" and display or hide any info that I want.
But I don't see these kinds of options for my ipod. . Specifically, I would like to see the album name before I begin playing a song and bring up the song playing screen. . I only see the album name on the current song playing screen. . If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
Can I change how my ipod displays the information that it has so that it displays the album name within the playlist BEFORE I select a song to play ?

If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
It all depends how you got to the song playing.
Go to Music -> Albums and it will do what you want.

Changing IPod's Name From "Default's" IPod

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. How to transfer from ipod back to itunes? I don't have the cds anymore.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.

How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

ITunes cannot read the contents of the iPod " my iPod's name ".

I'm having problems with syncing the 5th gen nano to iTunes 9 on my early 2008 MBP. I had one since September when they came out. It was fine for a while, but then I would get the error message: iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "<my iPod's name>". It got to where it was happening every other night or every night when I would try to sync. Of course it goes without saying that this makes the video camera unusable, since one can't count on retrieving the videos.
I talked with Apple Support on the phone. They were very good. Led me through a rescue-restore. This was described as more thorough than a normal restore. It involves a non-trivial button sequence. Also per suggestions I quit using a non-powered hub. I had been hooking both my iPod touch2 and my nano5 up to the hub to sync (not enough USB ports).
We tried the rescue-restore and things looked OK, but then a couple days later on the evening sync, the message came back. I should also mention that I use the pedometer feature in always-on mode, so of course that data gets lost as well.
I then went to the local apple store genius bar, and they saw the same error message I got when they plugged it in, so they decided to give me a new nano5.
I figured this was really it, but last night, on the second evening sync since the initial setup, the same error message is back with the new nano5. Feel bad because it now seems likely there was nothing wrong with my first nano5 (unless both are bad the same way - seems unlikely), but at the same time, I can't use any nano5 like things are now.
So now it's time for some detective work. I have both a nano5 and a touch2, and I use pedometer in always-on mode on the nano5. I wonder if those might be clues. Last night when the error occurred, iirc I had previously sync'ed the nano5 ok and ejected. Then I had sync'ed my touch2. I unplugged the touch2 and went to sync the nano5 again to update for some playlist changes, and that's when the error occurred. I wonder if iTunes is somehow getting messed up and thinking it is still dealing with a touch2, and it trounces the nano5?
It's probably a long shot, but I think I read someone else here with the same error message, and had a touch.
Any ideas, would love to hear. I'm planning to try only syncing the nano5 on a fresh start of iTunes for a while, and see if that prevents the problem.
Thanks,
Joe

OK. How do I uninstall iTunes to reinstall it? Is there an uninstaller? Do I have to chase down plist files or other hidden system things I don't know about? Kind of a dumb question maybe, I've been on a mac at home for like five years now, but uninstalling apps is not something I need to do (that's a good thing).
So, yes, the problem happened again, with the new nano, on the second or third nightly sync (not sure how many days have gone by) since the plane to sync the nano first before the touch. Been using the right usb port also, in case that matters. Used to always use the left. The left port has a non-powered hub that has my time machine disk and a super-duper disk on it, along with an iLoc key. Tonight the two usb disks were not plugged in due to being in the process of be traded out for my other pair (I keep a pair offsite as well - backup-paranoid - but that's another topic).
Do you think it could matter what's plugged into the opposite USB port? Not the nano and the touch only go into the right port straight away - no hub.
Kind of a bummer, this. I hope we can figure it out. Thanks for helping...
BTW, I alway keep all my software up to date.
Joe

Change wav file names on iPod - unreadable

Hi. I was asked to import some important imterviews made on an iPod mini and an ExtremeMac Micromemo onto a Mac, but, as requested, I change the file names first. Since changing the file names the files are completely unplayable, undownloadable and unrecoverable. Please, can anyone help.
Matthew Whiting

Hi Chris
What I did was to change the file names of the wav files in the Finder while they were still on the iPod Nano, before downloading them to iTunes. The iPod Nano uses a hybrid file system, and once the file names were changed iTunes refused to recognize the files. The Finder and Mac OS X flags them as wav files but cannot read them. All other software (players, audio apps and file recovery apps) that we have attempted to use, whether on Mac OS X, Windows XP and Vista, and Linux Red Hat has either crashed, failed to read the files or ignored them. Changing the file names back to an arbitrary time, similar to the original, still does not help.
It's hard to appreciate the problem, but two of us with many years of Mac (and other IT) experience spent three hours yesterday, on a total of 6 computers, trying to get something to read or recover these files, without any luck whatsoever.
Thanks for your interest.
I might be able to get my hands on some industrial strength recovery software, today, and then we'll see. The problem, however, is that the data of the files is intact, but absolutely nothing succeeds in reading them as wav files.
