change the iphones name

All you do is click on the iPhone in the devices list on the left side bar. The name should highlight in blue. You can then edit the name to what ever you heart desires.

    I bought my wife a phone and it defaulted to the same name as my iPhone.

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.
