HT3965 Rename an ipod

With the new itunes format I can not figure out how to rename my ipod. Please help.

If you'd like to return to the old iTunes format, you can follow these steps:
1. Look for the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help)
2. If you see it, great! Head to step 4.
3. Press Ctrl + B on the keyboard
4. Go to View > Show Sidebar
And voila! You should now be seeing a familiar interface.
You can also rename the iPod without a computer.
Navigate to Settings > General > About > Name and proceed to change the name directly from the iPod itself.

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

  • HT1789 how to rename my ipod in the latest version of iTunes as this support answer is about an old version of iTunes!?

    How can I rename my iPod in the most recent versionof iTunes 11.0.2??  This support answer is with regard to an old version of iTunes.  I'd really like to rename it.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Thank you.  I don't understand why Apple insists on leaving the old support info up there and every query seems to point to it.  Yours was the only useful answer I've found.

    I would like to rename my ipod touch on my computer.  How do I do this?

    Connect to your computer and open iTunes. Look for your iPod under the Devices heading in iTunes sidebar. Select the name field and rename it as you would any file.
    If you don't have a sidebar showing then select Show Sidebar from iTunes View menu.

  • Renaming an iPod

    Hoping someone can clear this up for me. When you rename your iPod i.e. select the iPod in iTunes under the devices section on the right and change it's name, and resync the iPod. Should the new name show up on the title area of the iPod?
    I can see it's new name obviously in iTunes, windows explorer, and on the iPod itself under Settings -> About. However, the name isn't being shown in the title area at all, is it supposed to? Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. I have no trouble at all giving the iPod a new name.
    As I said, the new name I give it does show up on the iPod when going into the About screen from the Settings menu. It also does display the new name properly in iTunes, but it doesn't show the new name at the top of the iPod screen. It only shows the time and the original name "iPod".
    Shouldn't the new name also be displayed at the very top of the screen on my iPod?

    hi
    how do i rename an ipod that i just bought for my daughter. i clicked too fast and it named it for me
    thanks!!

    When the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the sourcelist in iTunes (under devices), click once on the name in the sourcelist, and pause with the cursor hovering over the name for about a second. The name should become editable for you.

  • Can I rename my iPod?

    I have an iPod nano and an iPod touch that are both called "Ernie's iPod" in iTunes.  Since the iPod touch is wireless, it's usually in the Devices list, and when I plug in the iPos nano to sync it, both appear -- and at can be confusing.  Can I rename either or both of them?

    Yes.  When connected to the computer/iTunes, just click on the name under Devices and change the name like yu change a file name.  If you have iOS 5, Yu can also go to Settings>General>About>Name and change the name.
