Changing The IPOD name

Ive erased my ipod and tried to reload Itunes, but I'm not at my computer so it keeps labeling it as the person who owns the computer. How do I change this?

This was answered by both lllaass and myself on your other post.

  • How to Change the iPod "name"

    Well friends,
    I posted a msg and got an answer that my wife claims doesn't work. Short story - I am new to iPod. Never touched one before. Bought one for wife in Iraq. Loaded music and shipped it in 24 hours. Well, somewhere in the process I "changed the iPod name" to her Name and Rank - go figure, she's in the Army. Well, I am the devil and she can't figure out the name change (to her first name only). I received the following steps that she claims to have followed. Can some one please look at their pod and help me?
    To change the name of the iPod, you must connect it to a computer with iTunes installed. If you have Windows, follow these instructions: Once connected, start iTunes and follow these instructions:
    1. Once the iPod appears in the Playlist tree to the left, Single-click on the name of the iPod.
    2. In a second or two, a text box will appear around the name.
    3. Enter the new name.
    4. Click anywhere else in the iTunes window.
    5. The iPod will be renamed. (this may take a few seconds)
    Sincerely,
    Suffering Husband
    aka The Devil for Naming her iPod
    60 GB iPod   Windows XP  

    You could also try selecting the iPod in iTunes (in the source pane on the left) and then click F2 on the keyboard. You should be able to rename it there.
    Also, if the iPod is updating new songs an all (and blinking red in iTunes) it might now work right away. You can try again later in the updating process.

  • I just started up with my IPod, I download music to my library and I accidently changed the artists name in an entire category.  I can't figure out how to undo it. I read the edit help stuff but I can't select the item I need to edit

    I just started using my IPod and I downloaded my library.  I accidently changed the artist names for an entire genre category and I can't undo it.  I read all the edit help stuff and I either can't select items to edit or I'm an idiot and I can't figure it out.  I keep trying and I get a pop up that asks me if I want to change multiple items.

    Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

  • 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.

  • OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

    Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
    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:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    iTunes version: 11.3.1.8
    Device: 5th generation iPod touch 16GB with ios 7

    Itunes could not copy (name of song) To the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-50)

    I had this problem with a new album I downloaded this week from Amazon. It looks like they changed their cloud player download functionality within the last few weeks.
    I previously tried the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    I had also tried Windows Updates and a few other suggestions I found on this topic and nothing had worked.
    In iTunes, when I right-click on the track to "Get Info," I noticed it lists WHERE at the bottom of the Summary tab to show where the file is located. It said the file was located in \\?\C:\mp3\... Amazon automatically downloads my mp3's to this directory and imports them to iTunes. I assumed there was something wrong with the mapping, due to the \\?\.
    If you notice your files are not mapped to a valid location:
    Highlight the affected tracks and press the <Delete> key on your keyboard.
    Select the Remove option when prompted to remove the files from your Library. Take care to Keep Files if prompted so you don't completely remove them from your computer.
    Locate the files on your computer and drag them to import back into iTunes. If you check the location mapping in Get Info, the directory should now be valid.
    I think the USB workaround above might resolve this issue, but this probably helps to explain that the files locations weren't referenced in iTunes correctly in the first place.

  • 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.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
    how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
    thank you,

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.

  • How can I change the "short name" of my account?

    I want to change the short name of my account because when my dad bought this computer for me he set up the account with his name as the short name and it has been bothering me ever since.
    When I go to system preferences and then accounts my account is listed and when I click on it under password I am able to change my name, but not my short name because it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Is there any way to change the short name on my account? I can't even delete my account and make a new one because the account delete button is greyed out when I click on my account.
    Also, I went to my home folder and changed that from my dad's name to my name. This has reset every program on my computer to default settings! For example when I open my Safari browser a message pops up saying a keychain cannot be found to store Safari and asks me if I want to restore default settings.
    So pretty much I've tried to change the short name on my administrative account, I reset everything to default settings and my short name is still my father's name. Can anyone help me out here?

    Try this.
    Or you could just create a new account and delete the old one.

  • How to change the default name of new adjustment layers? (and other Q's)

    Where can I find documentation on Photoshop's API? (I want o make tools for it - javascript)

    Forgive me for not looking into your Maya-specific links, but one can automate Photoshop using JavaScript indeed (on Windows also VB, on Mac also AppleScript).
    Not everything can be automated naturally, but a lot – and it can really speed up many tasks; and with the »small« repetitive ones like saving copies off of files etc. combining Scripts with Configurator Panels can be especially convenient.

  • Script : how to change the Field name in standard program(ZM_MEDRUCK)

    Hi Experts,
    I am working with SAP SCRIPT. i need to change the Field Name that is PO NO to Document No & PO DATE to Document Date.
    These are assigned in data declaration as gv_name and gv_date.
    Can anyone help me to change this Fields.
    Regards,
    Vijayan.R

    Hi,
    You can archive this by making change in SAP script only. You don't need to touch the standard prgm.
    Debug the script and find it out which fields (In script editor) are printing these text on layout... then just replace them by creating your own text...
    You can create a text in TTDTG table,, like ZZPO_NAME = ( Document Name),, and use this filed in the script editor.
    &ZZPO_NAME&
