Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay.  This should do it:
Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

    You can only update via the ipod with ios 5 or later.
    You need to update via itunes on your computer as always.

  • Each time I connect my ipod to computer I am asked to register.

    I cannot get the entire registration screen to view in Itunes- think I'm missing a Submit button?

    I'm having a similar problem. I'm able to sync videos, podcasts and music, but each time I connect, I'm asked to register. When I select "submit" to download the free videos, I get an error message (something about the iTunes store not available). I also find that I get serious blue screen crashes when my Nano is connected and I try to use different features (for example, when I first attempted to check Apple support in the iTunes menu, my system crashed with a blue screen - my Nano was connected). I disconnected the device and now can access Apple support. Any suggestions?

  • HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

    Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

    Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
    When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
    I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

  • Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

    My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

    Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
    - and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
    - Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
    - do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
    Thx

  • Each time I connect my iPhone 4s in to iTunes as it keeps trying to set up the phone as a new one. How do I fix this?

    Each time I connect my iPhone 4s to iTunes, it tries to set up my phone as a new one/restore from back up. I have it all set up already, but it keeps appearing. What do I need to do to stop this?

    Hello there, deelish.
    A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    The pertinent section for you would be:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Itunes crashs each time I connect my IPHONE 3G

    Hi,
    I cannot synchronize my Iphone since 4 weeks ago. Each time I connect my Iphone to my computer Itunes crashes and freeze right away.
    I already uninstalled and installed Itunes following the steps from the apple website.
    Thanks for helping me,
    Jenny

    Jenny,
    Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, not plugged into a hub, monitor, or keyboard. Also make sure the iPhone is connected using the cable that came with it.
    Does iTunes quit unexpectedly when syncing the iPhone in another user account or on another computer? This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 will walk you through creating another user account.
    Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 Restoring the iPhone could cause some of the information to be lost if there is not a current backup. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 provides more information about iPhone backups.

  • ITunes crashes each time I connect/disconnect ANY USB device... OR even Ethernet

    Hi,
    I use the last version of both iTunes (11.1.5 64 bits, last version detected) and Windows 8.1 on an Asus G750J (64 bits) and for several weeks now iTunes crashes EACH TIME I connect or disconnect ANY USB device (not only my iPhone, but my external hard disk or my... mouse) and even my Ethernet port...
    None of my other softawares are impacted
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Reinstalling the 64 bit version in the x36 programm folder seems to solve the problem but it's not satisfactory. I'd prefer to keep the advantage of beeing under the 64 bits version.
