Question... Changing Name on iPod

Hi,
Quick question, Just brought my son a new iPod, so I can get his old Nano, I would like to change the name from my Sons to mine.
Any one got any ideas?
I have defaulted the nano, and re-installed the software, but it still has my sons name on it.
THx.

All you have to do is:
Connect the iPod to your comptuer.
In iTunes, right-click on the iPod's name in the Source List, then select "Rename".
Or, click on its name, wait about a second, then click on it again.

How do I change name of ipod touch on windows when it it says it is a different name?

When I connect my ipod touch to my computer it is recognized as another family members ipod but has my photos. How do I change name?

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

HT3965 Changing name on ipod touch 2nd gen

The name is grayed out on the ipod touch so I can't change it there. I don't see where to change it on the computer and I can't figure out how to put the new songs I bought onto the ipod. I liked the old itunes store better. This one is too confusing!

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

On a Mac you can highlite the name of the touch in the left hand side of the itunes window and enter another name. Not sure if that will work on itunes for windoz.

Converting Video to iPod, can you change name of file

When you convert Video to iPod format, can you change name of the new file or put some "marker" so one can tell which is the orginal and which is the new file?
Currently it is difficult to tell between the orignal and the new file.
thanks in advance
Rohit

You'd probably be better off doing this sort of editing in iTunes, and letting it move the files appropriately.
Go to the preferences, Advanced tab, and check the box to 'Keep iTune Music folder organized'. Then any changes you make to song names or other info (within iTunes) will automatically be applied.

Example: change artist name in itunes but doesn't change it on ipod touch 4g ios 5.0.1

Hello, (sorry for bad english)
So yesterday I updated itunes to 10.5 and updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 5.0.1.
I restored my ipod so everything was lost. Now I put al my music back on but there is a problem.
If for example change eminem to Eminem it changes the id3 tag. (example I select 10 songs with the names eminem Eminem e&m I change them all to Eminem)
It works on itunes and I have a playlist with only Eminem.
But on my ipod there are still the names of eminem Eminem e&m so why is that?
1. I synced my ipod
2. I didn't made the changes in libary but onder the ipod in the playlist (so really on the ipod, so you guys don't say you may made the changes in itunes libary. No I really made the changes on my ipod)
3. I restarted my ipod several times but it didn't help
ipod touch 4g IOS5.0.1 / windows 7 64bit
Could someone help me? because it's annoying that in itunes it looks like artist : Eminem and on my ipod all those wierd names.
I found a topic with the same problem but there was no sollution: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3409894?start=0&tstart=0
Thank you,
David

I have a completely untested & unconfirmed hypothesis that "something" changed in the last iOS update with the way iTunes keeps track of which items are on the device. My guess is that it has something to do with being able to identify the same item whether on the device, in your library or in the cloud. Whatever the cause I found I needed to manually delete a bunch of albums on my iPad that were showing as dupes or without artwork and which didn't get resolved by syncing. Since I deleted them and resynced it has all been fine. Remove any problem content from the device and resync.
In the list type views swipe from right to left over the right hand side of an item (but keep away from the alphabet if it is showing down at the edge of the window). A red delete button should appear, tap to remove the item. In grid mode on an iPad holding your finger down on an item for about a second will produce a black & white cross at the top left, touch this to delete.
If that still doesn't work, backup the device and then restore it.

How change the name of iPod?

When you plug the iPod into iTunes you should see it along the sidebar (the list Library, Store, Shared, Genius and Playlists). Just click on the iPod in that list and it should allow you to edit it

Wow! Give us a chance!
I live in the UK (about five minutes drive from the Olympic cycle race route. Didn't you notice me waving to the cameras? ). Not far from you , but far enough away that I might be doing something else, even if the cycle race has finished. The same applies to everyone else too. I'm eight hours ahead of you, so if it's 9pm now, where you are, it's five in the morning where I am and most of us here will still be inspecting the inside of our eyelids!
Now, about your problem.
If your iPod is 8GB, then it is not a 3rd generation Touch - no matter who they are and no matter who said it was! If it has model number A1288 etched into the casing on the back, then that identifies the 2nd gen Touch. (Yes, there is a 4th gen Touch in 8Gb capacity, but still no 8GB 3rd gen - ever). The third generation is model No. A1318.
Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless. I don't understand what that means, unless you mean "with the price difference". In which case, the answer is "no".
Even more confusing is; Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1 because -
a 2nd generation Touch (including the 8GB) can install iOS 4.2.1 But that's as high as it can go. So that's incorrect!
you can still use any App that doesn't require a higher iOS than you have. So still incorrect!
you can still use it as a music player, so guess what, wrong again!
... to store your photos - you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
... and play those videos!
So wrong, wrong and wrong!
