How to change the name of your iphone

when you use the iphone for a hotspot, how do you change that name when it shows up it in the list to choose? thanks

Yup, Settings > General > About > Name then name it what ever you want. Also, don't use the suggested hotspot passwords. Create your own.

  • How to Change the Name of an iPhone

    So I bought a new 3G phone and gave the old one to my wife who has expressed no desire to have one, and in the 24 she's had in is clearly smitten.
    I've transferred everything from the old phone to the new, set hers up and all is well except one thing.
    When I had the 1st gen phone its name was 'Steve's iPhone' and now my new one is called that as well. What I can't see how to do is to re-name the old one to her name.
    There's got to be something hidden in some menu on the phone or iTunes. How do I do it?

    When you plug in your iPhone, just click on where it says "Steve's iPhone". A text box should appear and you can change the name that way. It's the same as changing the info of a song in iTunes without bringing up a preferences menu.

  • 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??

  • How do you change the name of your iphone? Is that even possible?

    In the settings window, and the general tab, then about,  it has a string of random letters and numbers. Is it possible to personalize it a bit?

    Thx Allan,   my phone screen doesn't look like that. The name of my device in in the gray area at the top, it's not accessable. I tried for the first time last night to plug the phone into my laptop and in itunes it does not recognize my phone at all. the phone is running 4.2.6, and the laptop is a month old. I installed itunes on it, and authorized it, but on the left margin on the itunes screen, it doesnt show anything about any devices. And when i plug the phone into the laptop, the pop up box asks about pictures and videos, doesnt mention music or itunes at all. Ugggh!

  • How to change the apple ID your iphone was set up with?

    Yesterday, I wanted to put all my music (200) songs on my iphone. Yes, there is enough space and everything. but when i pulled it in, it said i had to restore my iphone. So i quickly downloaded all my photos to my laptop and restored it. Then my phone has the IOS 7 "Hello" page and i slid and picked my language and country and then it asked for my apple id and password...
    I don't remember either. I gave me a clue. ([email protected]) but i am pretty sure if i had an account at yahoo, i deleted it. (my yahoo answers account is my gmail account) I have tried every combination that i thought it could be for my password and apple id and i have no idea. I have searched my gmail for some answers but no, nothing.
    And now all my contacts are lost and i cant use my phone at all.
    So, How do I get it so i can change the Apple iD that was set up with my iphone?
    PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO SAVE MY PHONEEEEE.

    Well, you've got a huge problem on your hand if you can't remember the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone. This is called Activation Lock, & there is no way around it, & Apple will not help you. If you can't remember this info, you won't be able to reactivate the phone.

  • How to chang the name of your podcast

    ok I have just started makeing a podcast I finaly got it on Itunes but it has the wroge name it should say "Old Schhool Anime" by it says "Charles' podcast" what should I do?

    Is this your podcast?
    Anyway, whether that is your podcast or not, it looks like Podomatic is a somewhat cumbersome interface. The only helpful thing I could find on their forums was this: +go to the MY PODCAST TAB, staying on the tab... slide over and click PREFERENCES then EDIT+. I'm not sure if it will let you edit your title field or not. You will have to see -- and if you still can't figure it out, you could ask on the Podomatic forums.
    That said (and if that podcast that I found is indeed yours), it looks like you are just starting out with podcasting . . . and that Podomatic is not a very good service. It has a severe lack of customization options, lots of server downtime, and spotty (and snotty) tech support. If you are still getting started on your podcast, I would highly recommend that you investigate some other services, figure out what XML and RSS are, and really try to understand the technical side of podcasting before you go much further.
    Some helpful links to get you started:

    RSS
    XML

    It's a lot to learn, but if you start understanding it now, you will have a lot fewer problems in the future.
