Change Name of IPhone

When I first configured my IPhone 4 I gave it a name, can I change this retrospectively? I can not find any files or floders in my mac with the name in it??

On the iTunes screen:
* Plug in the iPhone
* On the left pane, find the iPhone
* Single click the name once
* Single click it again
* The highlighter should show to change the name

Changed name of iPhone, now will not sync with iPad.

I rebuilt my iMac. And changed name of iPhone. Now my iPad does not sync with iPhone. I purchased app on iPhone but does not appear on iPad. How do you set up iPad to sync with new iPhone.
Furthermore my iPad is not showing up in iTunes when I initiate a wi-fi sync from iPad. I see the sync icon spinning on iPad but do not see it in iTunes.
All this may be stemming from fact I just rebuilt my iMac. Prior to the rebuild he iPhone and iPads both synced with each other and the iPad would show up in iTunes when initiated sync from iPad.
I look forward to your replies on this.

Change name of iPhone 3GS

I Am trying to rename an old iPhone 3GS and have followed all suggestions without success. I have a Mac Probook and iTunes does not show up the device when it is plugged hence I cannot change the name???!!!.

What you should do is erase the 3GS. That way, you can plug it into iTunes, name it what you want & your wife can sync whatever content she wants to the phone. You have two choices to erase: 1. On the phone itself, Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or 2. Plug it into iTunes & restore as a "new" device. I'd suggest making sure your wife has an Apple ID that is a verifiable email address first. You'll need that to take advantage of iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can share iTunes content, but you both need separate ID's for the rest.

If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

Folders in iphone / windows randomly changing name

A couple of updates ago the folders in my iphone4s suddenly changed names and now keep changing names - this makes it really difficult for me to locate the last images I took as the folder name has changed and using view by date / modified makes no difference. I have to plough through each randomly named, randomly ordered folder to find what I want.
This is connecting to PC running windows 7 professional via usb, no itunes, I do not want itunes.

OK, I've got it figured out.
Somehow, the permissions of the invisible .DS_Store file in my Applications folder was changed so that nothing I did as an Administrator was taking effect on a permanent basis. That is, only the System could effect a positional or size change in any given folder--but not me, the Administrator.
This is very easy to fix, thankfully. Launch "TinkerTool" (or some similar app) and check the "Show hidden and system files" box. Relaunch the finder to behold all the new files showing almost everywhere.
Open the offending folder "(Applications" in my case), and Get Info on the newly-revealed ".DS_Store" file therein. You will notice, most likely, that in the "Sharing and Permissions" area only the System can "Read & Write" to this folder. In my case the Administrator (ME!) was given only "Read" permissions . . . which I quickly changed to "Read & Write"!
I checked this setting with other non-problematic folders, and my suspicions were confirmed. They revealed that the Administrator could "Read & Write" to them--as intended.
All is well now. (Use TinkerTool to reset the hidden files, of course.) I have no idea how or why the invisible .DS_Store file was altered, but it is working as intended once again.
Hope this helps, brimd!

I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

ITunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read

It's about time i posted something about my problem because i've searched everywhere and I did not get the answer i wanted.
When i try to put a song (Drag and Drop) from my Library to my Iphone, the message "iTunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read" shows up. I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't seen apple answer to a single one of these threads either.
I've only seen users try to answer this question.
Anyways, when i put the songs on my Iphone, it is also grayed out. There is also a dotted circle (symbol) beside the checkmark of the song.
I've tried creating a AAC version of all the songs already. No luck
Please help

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

What devices are you trying to connect to, and are they in pairing mode? Is the phone in pairing mode? The iPhone only connects to audio devices and to computers for tethering. You cannot use BlueTooth on an iPhone for file transfers to other phones or computers.

Brgds Federico (iPhone11611)

What you want to do is this:
1. First sync each phone to create a current iPhone backup. Make sure each phone has a different name.
2. Then, on each phone turn off iMessage, FaceTime, Find My Phone & delete the iCloud accounts if setup.
3. Then, on each phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
4. Turn each phone off & swap sims.
5. Turn each phone back on, connect to iTunes, restore from the correct backup, sync content back to each phone, turn iMessage, etc. back on.
6. Call your carrier & make sure they have the correct IMEI number associated with the correct sim.

TS3899 I changed from an Iphone to a Android. I can't get my email from other Iphones

I changed from an Iphone to a Android. Now I can't recieve emails from other Iphones.

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4
