Impact of changing iPhone name.

Has anyone changed the name of their iPhone (clicking on the iPhone name in the left pane of iTunes). Is there any impact around already downloaded applications?

I have a few times.
There is no impact to any functionality at all. Its just a common name so if you have multiple devices you can tell them apart or when you hook up to a BT hands free kit you can identify what device is attached.

  • Changed iPhone name, now have two sets of iCloud bookmarks

    Hi,
    I recently restored my iPhone 5 and also decided to change the name from the default.  I now have two sets of icloud bookmarks, one from the old iPhone name and one under the new name.  This is present on both my iPhone and my Macbook Prp.  How do I get rid of the iCloud bookmarks under the old iPhone name? 
    Thanks,

    Well, I restored my iPhone again and used the first name, then deleted icloud from the phone.  Restored again with the second name and that got rid of the duplicate phone bookmarks.  I did the same with my Macbook Pro but I still have the bookmarks left from that one, even though it was the same name.  I'm trying to find a way to just wipe everything from iCloud and start fresh.

  • How do I change iPhone name?

    I got an assigned name as xxxx's Iphone and want to change it to yyyy's Iphone. It can't be that hard, but I am baffled.
    TIA

    While it is attached to your computer, just click the iPhone name once under Devices (left hand column in iTunes). It should then allow you to edit the name.

  • ITunes Changes iPhone Name

    In iTunes 12.0.1 when I connect my iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.1 named Thom's iPhone 4S, iTunes changes the name to iPhone without me touching it.  It doesn't do it all the time but more than 50% of the time the name for my iPhone comes up as a generic iPhone rather than the name I have set for it.
    Is this happening to others?  Or is it a glitch in my iTunes installation?

    if you go into the summary page in itunes you can just click on the name of the phone and change it there

  • How to change iPhone name as displayed in iTunes?

    I purchased an iPhone for my wife. After activation and getting up on iTunes, I see my name, Bob, as the Bob's iPhone in iTunes.
    I want to change to Sally's iPhone but I can see no way to do this. I am assuming that the name came from when I set up the account, but I do not remember ever getting a chance to name my phone.
    I have not seen anything in the documentation telling me how to change this.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks

    The opportunity to name your phone was in one of the activation steps.
    I haven't actually tried to rename my phone since activation, but I noticed that it appears to work the same as renaming playlists in iTunes ...
    After you dock your phone, click on its name in the iTunes list. Click on it again and it becomes editable.
    I'm assuming you can then type a new name and press Return to have it take effect, but as I said I didn't actually go through with it.

  • Does changing server names in an XI environment  have any impact?

    Hi experts,
    can anyone answer the query below ?
    what is the impact of changing server names in an XI environment ( what exchange profile parameters need to be changed if any ) what are the risks, what may or may not stop working - can you alias to the old name etc....
    regards
    madhu

    Hi,
    I think its possible to change the server names. But ya that would impact on the connected systems and you have to modify the RFC destinations of connected R/3 systems as well as have to update the sender and receiver systems with new XI server information
    Have a look at these help:

  • ITunes won't download to specific folder after iphone name change in iTunes

    I accidently changed the name of my iphone on iTunes. I have changed it back to what it used to be named. But, now when I download a song from iTunes on my phone. It will not download it to the specific folder it used to. Now it downloads it to a specific folder called "Purchased on iPad". Songs will stay there until I sync my phone to iTunes on my computer and I click "Transfer purchases". Then it takes them and places them on "Purchansed" tab. After I finish transfering perchases I disconnect my phone and I have to go back into itunes and go to purchased tab and have to redownload them again which go again into "purchased on iPad" folder on my phone and stay there until I sync my phone again to iTunes... its a vicious cycle and driving me nuts. Is there any way to have it downlaod again to my specific folder "purchased on iphone" and keep them there? Hope someone can help.

    I actually tried with two other iPod software cds, uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing is working.
    When I go into the library and look for an import button none is to be found!!!

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

        Hi there, ronyme! Thanks for reaching out about your iPhone 4s. It's a great device. I can see you bought it from your cousin. Have you already taken possession of it? If so, are you in the United States or have you taken the device to Jordan or another country?

  • TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT4437 I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K and i want to change the name of it on my iphone to something elce. Is there any way i can do this.

    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?
