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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • How can I read the active (plugged in) DAQs and then send that to the device name input on DAQ assist?

    I have a system property node for daqmx but it does not let me change it to read when i right click on it. I am trying to have my program detect the name of the daq that is plugged in to the PC and then send that to daq assistant so that it will run properly wiithout me manually having to change the device name every time i switch hardware.
    Solved!

    You have do do programming.  That is what LabVIEW is.  MAX gives you all the tools to do everything you want and much more just program it to do what you want.
    Attached is a VI that I think does what you want.  I looks at all of your devices and returns the first non simulated one.  Apparently this list already excludes devices not connected to the system.

  • 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, 

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
    earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
    So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
    In case this helps:

  • It's possible to change the device address of a NI2503 board

    It would be nice to change the device address of a NI 2503 Switch board.
    I have several NI 2503 Switch Boards in my PXI 1006 Chassis. After installing the boards and performing a MAX Refresh the device addresses of the boards are listed in a random (?) order. So its troublesome to get the information which device is related to which slot.
    I have more than one 1006 Chassis with the same configuration of NI 2503 Boards and I may avoid to have different software versions with different device numbers for the chassis.

    The short answer is no you can't modify the device numbers for the switches.
    The long answer is that device numbers are set by the bios and you can't modify them. In your 1006 chasssis there are 3 buses and in each bus the devices start at some number like 15 or 20. As the slot number increases the device number decreases. The best way to view what device numbers are assigned to which slot you need to open the pxisys.ini file on your computer. The slot number and device numbers are total dependant upon your controller. The best place to verify that you have the correct ini file is to see the following webpage : PXI VXI/VME and PXI Controller Peripherals. The ini file is only an indicator of
    the settings in the bios. If you change any of the devices then you will lose functionality of that board.
    There is some hope though. One thing that you can do is use the IVI support for the switches. If you download the Class Drivers for switches, then you will be able to create an IVI devices and logical names in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). The IVI devices will hold the address of the module (i.e. PXI0::14::INSTR). Then create a logical name that points to the IVI virtual device. This logical name can then be referenced in LabVIEW instead of the module address. Then when you need to modify the slot number/device number of a device you simply need to modify the IVI device. There is a tutorial that will step you through this process found in the Developer Zone at : Using Measurement & Automation Explorer to Configure Your IVI System
    Good Luck

  • How to change the device template in GPIB 2.0

    I am not able to communicate with the device. I am using the function call ibfind. Previous versions of the GPIB enabled us to modify the device name from dev0. How do I do this in NI 488.2 2.0 version?
    Please help thanks
    Praveen.

    In the NI-488.2\bin\ directory within the installation directory, there is an executable gpibconf.exe that will allow you to modify the device templates. Just run the executable and you should be able to change dev0 to another name.

  • Help. I accidentally formatted by the device name not the volume name when trying fresh install osx Mountain lion.

    I was trying to do a fresh instal of Mountain Lion. By fresh I mean clean.
    Firstly, my iMac disc drive isn't really working to well, so I have Mountain Lion on a usb.
    I started up and held the option key.
    Entered into disc utility mode, and started doing everything correct.
    Then near at the end I when i'm required to select a start up disc it doesnt show anything... Help?
    I checked around online and saw this tutorially and notice I had done something different.
    http://macs.about.com/od/MountainLion/ss/How-To-Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Mountain-Lion-On-A-Startup-Drive.htm
    on page 2. where it says
    When Disk Utility opens, select your Mac's startup volume from the list of devices. If you never changed its name, the startup volume will be listed as Macintosh HD. Be sure to select the volume name and not the device name, which will usually be the name of the physical drive, for instance, "500 GB WDC WD5."
    I think I may have selected the device name. Is this the cause of my problem?
    Can I fix this ? Please help?

    Ok, I realized that won't work, I don't think, because you can't enable it on your Mac.
    However, if you have another Mac, you can use Firewire Target Disk Mode to install. Boot your Mac while holding down the T key. You will see a FireWire symbol on the screen. Then, connect the two with a Firewire cable. Your Mac hard drive will show up on the other. Try to install onto that.
    This may not work, depending on the other Mac. If it is similar to yours, it should.
    I'm not sure if you can do it the other way. If you put the DVD into the other Mac and boot it into Target Disk Mode, then boot yours holding down the option key, you may be able to select the DVD on the other Mac as the startup.
