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 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 tag name in cursor statement?

    Hi
    I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
    <ROWSETA>
    <ROWA num="1">
    <A1></A1>
    <A2></A2>
    <A3>
    <A3_ROW num="1">
    <B1></B1>
    <B2></B2>
    </A3_ROW>
    <A3_ROW num="2">
    <B1></B1>
    <B2></B2>
    </A3_ROW>
    </A3>
    </ROWA>
    </ROWSETA>
    How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
    Thanks in advance!
    null

    In short, you can't.
    You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
    You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

  • How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID.  You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
    Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account.  Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    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.

  • How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out     Sign in with another Apple ID.
    However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
    So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box.

  • I just set up a wireless network using an airport express. How can you change the network name

    How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

    Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
    Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

  • How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

    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.
    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.
    (The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

  • How can i change the DNS Name of a 10.6 Server

    Hello when i installed the Server i made a mistake and put in a wrong dns name wich is not reachable from the clients. How can i Chane the DNS Name?

    The core command is changeip, and Google will find some details and discussions.
    $ man changeip
    $ changeip {-v} {-d path} directory-node old-ip new-ip {old-hostname new-hostname}
    It's not always successful; the host name tends to get embedded everywhere.
    For the official documentation on this, see the [Advanced Server Management Manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf] for a discussion of what (else) needs to happen when the IP settings change; see the +Understanding Changes to the Server IP Address or Network Identity+ section.

  • How can I change the administrator name?

    I'm getting ready to sell my old I-mac. How do I change the administrator name or delete it?

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. If this is not possible then simply erase the drive. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • 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 can i change the database name on MaxDB?

    Hello.  I need to do a homogeneous copy where the source system is the productive system and the target system is the quality system. Therefore after to restore the data backup i need to change the database name of quality system (from CLP to CLQ) but i'm not sure that it could be possible because in the MaxDB documentation i didn't found nothing about that. please can you tell me if it is possible and how i change it?
    I work with MaxDB 7.6.04.11.  Thanks for your help.

    > I will try to explain better: the SID of the source database is CLP and the SID of the target database is CLQ, when you say "once you restore the DB, it will use the new SID", i understand that the new SID in the target database would CLP or am i wrong? and i need that the SID in the target database remains CLQ after the restore.
    Hi Ivonne,
    what you've described as your requirement is exactly what will happen, when you just perform the procedure that Eric described to you.
    A recovery won't change the SID of the instance you perform the recovery to.
    All it does is: take the instance as is and load the data pages to the data area. Afterwards the log files may be recovered.
    Think of the instance as a kind of container for your database.
    The instance itself is not the database - so the SID does not change with the content of the database.
    Hmm... why not simply try it?
    Create a little test instance and back it up.
    Create another instance with a different name and recover the backup of the first instance.
    You will still have both instances, each with its original name.
    regards,
    Lars
