N95 Changing phone name

We have 2 x N95's and want to sync them independently in PC Suite how can we change each phones names as currently they both have the same name, Nokia N95.
We are syncing with USB cable and have changed the name in BT and wireless but still each phone is named Nokia N95 can we change the name if so how.
Many thanks, Tim.

Hi tare
In previous versions of PC Suite it would differentiate by calling one say Nokia 5100(1) and the other Nokia 5100(2).
Please be aware that your post will not elicit a response from Nokia. Use "Contact us" at top right of the screen to bring this issue to Nokia's attention. The more times an issue is reported the further up it moves in "possible action" table.

How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

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.

Find my iphone: how can the thief change the phone name?

Hello.
I have had 3 iphones stolen the last 5 months.
Finally I got a ping from one of the stolen iPhones. I could follow it for almost 2 months. Since I am in a country were the police wont do anything it does not help me that I have name/address of the thief.
But this strange thing happened last day/last ping I got from my stolen iPhone:
Somehow the device is removed from my "find my iphone" list and/or the device have changed name.
The device was locked with passcode/touch ID.
I have changed password AppleID 3 times since the phone was stolen (well: The police wanted my password/AppleID to track the phone. Somehow the thief got this information and I found out when my address book had 150 new entries from the thief).
I managed to change password and lock the phone remotely after that incident.
To bad I cant ask Apple any question.
How can a device be removed from my account? (I have not got any warnings that someone have logged into my iCloud account from a new device/location)
How can a thief change the name of a stolen iPhone that is locked with touchID/Password/passcode? (Iphone6). Is there still DFI attacks that can wipe the phones?
How can I check if my account is hacked?
Why cant I remotely detonate my iPhone? The battery would be a nice little bomb making the phone worthless?
(and F lazy Russian tourists police that just ask "what should we do" when I provide address/name/video of a person that have stolen stuff worth over 5000 dollars including iphones/Ipads)

Hi Brirendine,
Take a look at the instructions below for what to do when you sell your iPhone. If you have followed all of these steps, the new owner should contact his/her carrier to activate the phone.
iCloud: Activation Lock
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Sign out of iCloud on your device
Erase and reactivate your device
Important: Make sure to remember your Apple ID and password, and that your password is unique and secure—someone else shouldn’t be able to guess it. For more information, see the Apple Support article Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to give away or sell your device, be sure to erase your content and settings (in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When you erase your content, Find My iPhone and Activation Lock are also turned off.
If you no longer have the device, follow the instructions to remove a device you no longer have. For more information, see the Apple Support article What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you’re purchasing or selling a used device, you can check its Activation Lock status at icloud.com/activationlock from a Mac or PC.
For more information about Activation Lock, see the Apple Support article Find My iPhone Activation Lock.

How do i change the name of my phone in i tunes - inherited from my husband

I've inherited my husband's old phone and am on a sim only contract -I have set upmy apple id but when i synch tunes it shows the phone as my husbands ( albeit my number ) - how do i change the name of the phone ? - thanks

In iTunes, just click on the name on the sidebar or in the info panel and edit it. Or, on the iPhone itself,
Settings -> General -> About -> Name

Iphone 4s - how do I change the name in the contacts for the owner of the phone - it is coming up as the other person who uses the laptop - so when ringing or texting anyone 2 names are being used as the caller id on the screen

"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.

HT4137 I plugged our phone into our mac to charge it and it changed the name of the phone to my wife's phone. Attempt to backup from I cloud only gives backups since the name change. How do I reclaim my phone's name?

I plugged my i phone into our mac just to recharge it and somehow it recognized it as my wife's phone and changed the name of the phone to hers. I lost the carrier I was using, though it still can connect to internet. I tried to erase all settings and content, and then back up from I cloud, but it only offered backups since the name was changed. I can't make any calls at this point.

Just plugging it in doesn't change the name. If this was the first time you connected to this computer, you should have selected "Set up as New Device".
You will need to restore and since you no longer have a backup for this phone, you will lose your data.

How do you change the name of the phone?

How do you change the name of the phone. It picked up my husband's name when I attempted to activate it.

Thank you so much. We sometimes make things difficult When they are so very easy.

My iphone is recognized as my wife's iphone by my computer. I believe this is preventing my wife from making necessary changes to her phone. Any thoughts on how to change the name on the computer?

A few weeks back, I connected my wife's iphone to my computer to download an update. Since that time, wheneve I connect my phone, the computer recognizes it as hers. ITunes correctly identifies the phone, but the computer does not. Is there any way to change the name with the computer. I canot locate any way to do this.
Thanks.

i suspect that this problem is under windows, like mine, the solution was go to start/run/regedit and then look for the name that you want to change, for example, if your wife's name is susan, use the search option in regedit to look for every possible susan word you find and then chage susan for pete, if pete is your name. Only the Susans related to the iphone name, dont change everything with susan in it, is easy to know wich one is related to the iphone name, don't worry. This procedure worked for me. good luck

Phone name change

I have successfully set up my iPhone 3GS except that I did not realise that I could change my phone's name. Now i am sitting with the "ugly" name of "Administrator's iPhone". Is there a way I can change it?

Have your phone connected to itunes. On the left, underneath Store, where it says "Devices" it will show the name of your phone. Double click on the actual phone name and type your required name in there. Hit enter and sync, just to be sure.
Pick an name like Titanic, it almost reads "Sinking the Titanic"

How do I change the name on a cell phone?

I accidentally added my daughter's new iphone onto ITunes and it thought that it was my new phone. How do I get it to say her phone name when I plug into ITunes. Also, how come I cannot set up her voice mail (is it because it thinks it is my new phone)?

Voice Mail is a Carrier controlled feature.

How do you change your name of your phone? I am having the horrible problem that my phoone doesn't work with my Bluetooth and it was recommended that aI change the name, among others things (that still don't work!)

How do you change the name of your phone? I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...

Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it! I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma! thank you for your help though!

Skydiver. After using separate apple ID's our two iPad minis still get things mixed up like Siri changes our names and some phone

but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well.
I'm afraid that you can't sync content to an iOS device via Home Sharing (you can only stream it to an iOS device via Home Sharing).
