How can I change the name of devices associated with my Apple ID in iTunes?

We have 3 iPads and 4 iPhones in our family. All of the iPads show up on the list of devices associated with my Apple ID as simply "iPad". All of the iPhones show up simply as "iPhone", even though each device has a distinct name on the device itself (ie. Mark's iPhone). How can I get the distinct name to show up on the list of devices so I can keep the list updated as we add or remove devices from our collection?

Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account. Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

How can I change the name that my computer/iTunes assigned to my device?

When I hooked up my new 4s to my desktop, it asked if I wanted to start with a new device. I answered yes and the device was assigned a default name based on the name of the computer (which wasn't originally mine) so now iTunes recognizes the device as belonging to some dead guy I never met. Also the same first name as an ex-bf. Call me weird but this bothers me. How can I change the name of the device?

Select the device when it is connected to iTunes. Click in the device name on the summary tab. Enter what you want.

How can I change the name of a computer I'm getting rid of?

How can I change the name of the computer to my granddaughter's name? It's now called "My name" G5 iMac. I would also like to delete that computer icon in my Devices on my MacbookPro.

I guess my reply to these questions in your other topic did not help?
The name of the computer is in System Preferences Sharing pane.
If something appears under DEVICES in a Finder window sidebar, you can click hold on it and drag it off the sidebar. If it appears under SHARED, it should no longer appear there once if that iMac is no longer on your local network, or if you turn off its shared services in the Sharing pane.

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS

Hey JB001,
Sounds like you have more going on than just a simple issue with Home Sharing and more dealing with Wi-Fi syncing. Start with the article below and see if that may resolve it.
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062
If it does not work out, then may I suggest contacting Apple for further assistance to walk you through it or just take that time that you were talking about to sort it out.

How can I change the name of my home folder?

Just got a new job. Yeah! Taken over former employees' iMac. I made myself Administrator, seem to be the only log in option. But, my home folder is still in the old guys name. How can I change the name on the Home folder without deleting it and loose all the files? CAN'T loose the files? Help...
Thanks

Changing the existing home folder name is complicated. I recommend you NOT do that.
Instead, create a new User with exactly the home folder name you want, and copy your files over to that new user. Once a few days have gone by trouble-free, and you are certain you have no issues, you can delete the old home folder.
While on the subject of users, Some users prefer the peace-of-mind of using an "ordinary" user account, rather than an Admin account for daily use. This makes it much harder for anything to "sneak" onto your Mac, as you need to authenticate anything to be installed in system directories.
To do this, create a new Admin user, log into it, and demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin user. When actively installing stuff, the Admin username and password will be requested.
