Connect the phone to the computer. Open iTunes and click on the name of the iPhone in the left pane. It will allow you to change the name. You may have to double click on the iPhone name.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

Hi,
How can I change the name of my phone?

Hi I know you did this a while ago.
Could you tell me - did you have to remove your Iphone in the manage devices section of itunes.
Then reload it? Is that difficult to do - could you talk me through it?

How do you change the name of your iPhone

Is that in a setting in the phone?
Here is my scenario. I just got a phone, it had a bad wifi antenna and a funny pixel, so Apple replaced it (thank you). Since I had only had it one day, I had only done one back up in itunes. So, I decided to start from scratch and delete the backup. When I plugged in my phone for the first time, it went through the process of first time "iphone meets itunes" set up. I notice now, I just have a name of "iphone." I thought before I actually had my name "my name's iphone." Is there any particular reason that didn't happen again? How do I modify the name of "iphone" to my name?

thanks. I starred it for you. I wonder why the first phone put my name in there and this one didn't. Everthing I did was the same.
Further:
I changed it in the itunes left column. Does that name not carry over to iTunes-Preferences-Devices??

HT3965 how do i change the name of my iphone

I plugged my iphone in and it automatically put my step-dad's name in. How do i change it?

Hi.
1) Click on 'Devices'.
2) Locate your iPhone.
3) Click once on the image - this will open up to show the contents of your iPhone (much the same as it used to)
4) Click once on the name of your iPhone. This will make the name editable.
5) Click 'Done' to finish and save.
Hope this helps.

How do I change the 'names' of my iPhones on my MacBook Pro's iTunes?

I just upgraded my iPhone 4S to a 5, and shifted my 4S to replace my wife's 3GS, which I'll sell.
The problem is that the names of the phones and telephone numbers on iTunes are the old names/numbers. I know that I could just live with it but if there's a simple way to rename them I'd like to do it.
Any suggestions?

If you mean the name that appears in the iTunes side bar - select the name of the device with the mouse - you shuld get a highlight and a text ][ and then you can change the name.
