I want to change the name of my bluetooth device in iOS.

Attended a meeting yesterday. Several others in the room had the same Logitech Ultrathin BT keyboard. So, the connect list was a mile long. Each attempt to connect failed as others were connecting to each others keyboards......no way to tell who's keyboard belonged to whom. Everyone gave up on trying to use the Logitech keyboard. A bit frustrating to say the least. This should be a simple fix......but, doesn't look like it unless I'm willing to jailbreak my iPad?

Actually, while Chris is correct in that the device name is indeed supplied by the manufacturer, it is apple who needs to get off their butts and supply us with a solution. Can you imagine every hardware manufacturer trying to reinvent the wheel here and then getting it to work on each device? Android is capable of renaming devices and Apple already knows how to do it as well. Unfortunately, it is a function only available for Mac users. In Bluetooth settings on Mac OS, you can simply 2-finger click a device and then select the rename option. Please Apple, release this option along with IOS 9.

I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K airplay amp and I want to change the name of it when i am using AirPlay. Is there any way i can do this?

If it is showing off line, either the battery is dead, the SIM has been removed or the iPhone has been restored. Report it to you carrier. Some offer blacklisting. You can also send a remote wipe to the phone via iCloud. There was also the option to send you an email if the phone is located when you were in Find My iPhone. Report it to law enforcement, change the passwords on all accounts that were on the device. Did you have a passcode on it?

When you plug your ipod into the computer it's name comes up. ie bill's ipod. How do you edit the name. I've recently bought some new ipods and want to change the names of my old ones.

Double click the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window then type in a new name.

We can likely help, but we do not know what device that you are asking about....or....what version of AirPort Utility that you have on your computer.

Want to change the names of our computers, but how ?

over the last few months, we've renewed our set-up, and got things networked together - for the first time, so there was a learning curve ! Actually, it wasn't so bad ... the various ins & outs of permissions being now the main cause of occasional falterings. Anyway, being now got on top of it all (well, almost), we'd like to go back & change the names of our various devices - SWMBO's taken over my iPod Touch, for example, and the iMac seems to have renamed itself somehow along the way, so it now has the name we gave it but with the number 2 in parentheses at the end (goodness knows how that happened) ... only, for the life of me, I can't see / find-out how to do it ... it's probably very easy to do, it's probably that I can't see for looking ... but, any ideas, please ?

No worries.
For the iPhone/Touch, connect the device to your Mac. You should see it listed in the iTunes sidebar. Click on the name twice, and you should be able to rename it in exactly the same way as you can rename a file or folder in Finder.

Want to change the name of workbook folder in bex

hello gurus
i would like to change the name of the workbook folder and the sub-folder in bex, can anyone please tell me how to do?
please note its not name change of query but its a folder name change.
thanks in advance
zam

Hi Zammy,
In the Bex Open or Save dialog box you can see the folders. Click on the button to see the Technical names. This is the name of the role. Open it up in PFCG and make the changes. Take care that if you transport this to your production system, and the role is empty in Dev (no workbooks assigned) then the workbook assignment will be lost in BWP as well. So it is a good idea to have a copy of those workbooks on your local system so that you can replace them after the trasnport.
Hope this helps...

How to change the name of a group mms in iOS 8.1.2?

I have a group of friends and we made a group mms to keep track of things. There are more than 8 people in this group so I get nonstop messages from everybody and I would like to be more organized and make a name for it. I looked up how to and I did as it said: "Go to the details page and scroll downward and a 'Subject' area should appear and that is where you change the name". This was added back when iOS 8 just came out, I'm wondering if it has changed since then or maybe it's a hardware problem?

How do I change the name of my bluetooth keyboard on my iPad?

I recently was awarded a grant to buy a class set of wireless bluetooth keyboards for my classroom (26). Since I teach at a middle school, the idea of all my students pairing at the same time gives me nightmares. I took the set home and attempted various techniques I've come across to change the name of the bluetooth keyboards (preferences/bluetooth/gear icon/change name) and it seems to work, but whenever I pair it with an iphone or ipad it still just comes up as "Bluetooth Keyboard." Naming these would really help. Thanks!

Hello:
I looked as well, but cannot find a way to change the name (except on a Mac). Apparently, Apple uss the generic name on devices that are really personal ones.

My sister gave me her iPod and I want to change the name..is this possible?

Right now the title on my iPod is my sister's name (Erin's iPod) and I want to change it so it says my name. Is it possible to do this? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Superkix...easy......when the ipod is connected to iTunes in the left hand pane, click once on the ipod name, then click again (once) so that you can edit the name, highlight the text and change it to...say...."Erin's sisters iPod" or whatever you wish.
