Change Scanner Device Names

I have a client who has a few HP MFP printers that he wants to scan from. I installed the printers and I can scan from the MFP's fine. My issue is that scanners are installed with the same name (HP MFP Series Scan). I'm wondering if there is an easy way
of changing the names of the devices. This is for a terminal server and right now when I go to Devices and printers, I can right click on the server name, go to start scan and it gives me two scanners with the same name. And before I go playing in the registry
I wanted to check if anyone knew of an easier way of changing the names of these devices.

  • How can I change the device name on my iPad?

    Is it possible to change the device name? I can find nothing in iTunes or Settings. My iPad was given to me with a name already assigned and I'd really like to have my name attached to it.

    When attached to your computer, click the device name in iTunes and type the name you like.

  • How do I change the device name in my iPod Nano?

    Hello,
    I need someone to help me change the device name showing in my iPod Nano. Right now, I guess, it is taking the user name of the computer where I registered my iPod and where my iTune is running. I would like to change this to the name of the real owner of the iPod. Thank you.

    Plug the iPod in. When it shows up in the source list of your iTunes (the bit to the left of the screen), put your cursor over the name of the iPod in the source list and click it once. After a second or so, you should be able to edit the name.

  • Changing Bluetooth device name

    Hi
    I'm not that familiar with WTK, and I'm looking for a way to change the device name that is sent as ID over Bluetooth. I think I understand that the getFriendlyName() method returns the device name, but is there a way to change it ?
    Thank you for any help you can provide !

    If you put in 0000 as passcode, does it pair?
    So a follow up to this (and using the question you asked). Taking the question about can I connect I did connect to the device again and then turned "Handsfree Calling" off in the Device Details. This seems to leave the device present, but unconnected. It is no longer bugging me, which is something. I'd rather not have it present at all of course, but that seems to be hard! 
    I'd appreciate your thoughts on this as a long term solution? 
    Many Thanks, 

  • Changed (renamed) device name in Intune app on iOS device. This change is not showing up in the admin portal, even after 24 hours

    Hi,
    I am trying to update a mobile devices names.  Initially, I changed the iOS device name (Settings->General->About->Name) and then I also renamed the device in the Intune app on the device.  Neither of these changes are propagating through
    to the admin portal, even after 24 hours.  Is there anything else I should be doing for this to work?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Simon.

    I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine.  Is there some other place
    that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
    Thanks!

  • Change Android Device Name Using RD client - Is it possible?

    Hello guys, i am having a problem.
    I configured my RDC on windows server just fine, i can acess it through ddns.net without any problems.
    However, i have some software installed on my windows server that only works with pre-authorized PC-NAME ... so my question is, where or how can i change my android device name whenever i use the RDC app?
    Whenever i try to start that software i get the message "unable to open program ... D5803_4.4.4 not authorized to open it"
    (D5803_4.4.4 is my android device name) ... how can i change this?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    It seems there is no such way to change the RDP client name. 
    Thanks for your understanding!

  • How to change logical device names

    Hi, I would like to change the logical device names for an external StorEdge. Booting into single user mode from a CD and deleting everything in /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ as well as the path_to_inst file and then reconfigure booting doesn't work. Solaris remembers which physical device name was allocated to which logical device name. Haven't been able to find any info on how Solaris remembers this. I've thought of booting into init S from CD and renaming the logical device names but I would like to rename them to the next available controller which is c3 and which is probably already "reserved" for the unused onboard SCSI controller. Does anybody have any info on this ?

    somewhere there is a page..

  • How do I change the device name under "My Computer"?

    When I first plugged my iphone in I recieved a text from a friend. My computer then automatically set that as the iphone's name under "My Computer - Portable Devices." Changing the name in itunes does not change the name under "My Computer."

    There has to be a designated User account.  What program is an example of the problem during a "save".
    Options:
    Simply do a complete Recovery and turn the system back to new out of the box.
    Create a new user (you). The delete the previous user account.

  • How do you change your device name on the latest version of Itunes?

    I can't figure it out...

    Connect your device to iTunes. Select it in the device section (left) then click on its name (center of screen) and edit it. Or you do it on your device in Settings -> General -> About -> Name

  • Changing the Device Name

    My daughter gave me her old nano. When I plug it in to my computer, it says the device is "Karens ipod". It has her songs on the ipod. How do I get this Ipod to say "Puhs idpod" and to get rid of her name?

    Double click the iPod name in iTunes then type a new name.

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Set or Change Device Name in Profile Manager

    Hello,
    Is it possible to set or change the device name of an enrolled device using profile manager?
    I notice WGMs old 'Set computer name to computer record name' is still there under Login Window options, but I couldn't find away to actually change the record name.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    The only way I have found to change the device name in Profile Manager is to change it on the device itself, then wait for the updated info to reach PM.
    The option to "set the computer name to computer record name" will set the computer name to the name of a computer record that matches in Open Directory (based on MAC). This option would allow you to change the device name in Profile Manager in a round about way... change the computer record name in OD, wait for the change to make it's way to the computer, then back up to the Profile Manager. In my experience, this doesn't take too long.

  • How to change device names?

    This questions revolves around three V490s.
    - All are connected to the same raid.
    - All have cards in the same slots.
    - One box had only 1 internal drive, two came with 2 internal drives.
    - All have stmsboot enabled.
    - When doing a format, 2 boxes show the paths to be the same (ie, c6txxxxx), 1 box shows the path to be different (ie, c4txxxx).
    How do I go about changing the device name so that the c4txxx on the one box matches the c6txxxx devices name on the other two boxes?
    - I have inserted a secondary drive into the 1 box, rebooted with -r. No difference.
    - I removed the path_to_inst, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, and rebooted with -ras options. No difference.
    - I manually edited the path_to_inst to use same device numbers (entry in 2nd column) as is used in the other 2 boxes' path_to_inst files, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, rebooted -r. Still no difference.
    - I tried using a path_to_inst direct from one of the 2 boxes that have the matching device names. No difference.
    I'm quickly running out of options. The device names are supposed to be the same for the Oracle ASM application. Anyone have any ideas or experiences they can share concerning this matter? Thanks.

    In single user mode, edit /etc/path_to_inst and renumber the device.
    You probably want to halt and do a boot -r after this.
    The best way to figure out which lines to change.
    Run format and note the device path for the controller in question.
    Then search for that line in the file.
    This is all completely unsupported and at your own risk. You might want to experiment on a test server before doing it to a machine you care about....
