Weird name issue.... how do I change the name of my ipad in Windows

So I have my new ipad.... very good.
I have it nicely named in iTunes with my name. "Jim's iPad"
However, when I connect to my PC, the autoplay feature pops up... and it's called something different "Tom's iPad". When I go into Windows Explorer, sure enough the device is called Tom's iPad. It's definately not Tom's iPad, it's mine!!
Like I say, I've changed it in iTunes, and on the iPad itself in Settings it's named correctly.
Incidently I've never named or entered in "Jim's iPad" anywhere since I bought it.
So... 1. How do I fix the fact that Windows is calling it something different (it won't let me just right click, properties and chance it) and 2) why on earth has some random name been assigned to it by Windows??
Thanks for your help,

Go to start menu
Type REGEDIT into the search
Select find under the edit tab
Type the exact name you wish to correct
correct every entry by clicking on the entry> and then clicking edit>select modify>then correct only the portion of the name you wish to correct> then click ok> go back to edit and click find next> repeat the process for each entry in the registry until the screen says finished>restart windows and plug in your ipad. ENJOY

How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.

Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

how can i change the background colour of all old folder windows at once?

There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
Best of luck.

LineChart and -fx-text-fill issue: how do I change the color of the labels

Hello everyone,
I'm currently facing an issue when I'm trying to style my LineChart with some CSS. Indeed I would like to change the color of the labels of my xAxis (CategoryAxis) and yAxis (NumberAxis) but it's not working.
In my FXML file I tried to use the style attribute on my LineChart tag using: <LineChart style="-fx-text-fill: white"> with no result, the text remains black (even for the title of my chart). In order to know if the style attribute is well parsed I changed it to: style="-fx-background-color: red; -fx-text-fill: white;". The background is becoming red but the text still remains black.
Finally I tried to define a stylesheet in my controller class with the same properties (red background and white text). My stylesheet is this one:
.chart {
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-background-color: red;
}In my controller I do the following line in order to load my CSS file:
this.chart.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("statistics-style.css").toExternalForm());Even with this option the text remains white, while the background becomes red.
What I also tried is to put the -fx-text-file CSS property directly on my axises, but again it seems it is ignored.
I followed the steps described in Figure 8-2 of this site: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/charts/css-styles.htm
Does anybody have an idea or encountered this issue?
Thank you very much,
Thierry.
PS: I'm using JFX 2.1 on MacOS X

Hi,
I figured a solution out to solve my problem. Currently in the documentation it is said to redefine the .chart CSS class in order to change the color of the title and labels text. But this is not working. Strangely the following code changes the font-size of both title and labels but ignores the -fx-text-fill property:
.chart {
-fx-font-size: 20pt;
-fx-text-fill: white;
}In order to change the color of the title I override the .chart-title CSS class:
.chart-title {
-fx-text-fill: white;
}And for the labels:
.axis-label {
-fx-text-fill: white;
}Well I don't know if there still is a bug on the .chart CSS class or maybe that behavior is expected.

How do I change the settings on my ipad camera when taking pictures?

When I take pictures using my new iPad 4 Retina IOS 7 the pictures are HUGE! I have found I can send a max of only 5 pics. in an e mail and use the medium setting offered IN THE MAIL SETTING. But that is a lot of emails to have to send to yourself when you have lots of pictures.
So to just end this whole resize issue where is the SETTING to CHANGE the PHOTO SIZE WHEN or BEFORE you TAKE the pictures? I love the quality (would be nicer if it had flash or a telephoto lense but still nice pics).
I finally DID figure out how to transfer pics from my iPAD to my PC (Dell Laptop) NEVER COULD GET IT DONE USING iTunes. So got the app.
transfer pro" for $2.99 for this and am VERY happy with it. Makes it so easy to do. But again when they are huge at 13 inches X16 inches or something crazy all I do is end up with having to resize EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I took on my iPad in Photoshop on my Dell PC Laptop.
Would appreciate the answer to HOW TO GET TO THE SETTINGS TO change on my iPAD camera. Thank you,
Antoinette

Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific. Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
Thank you for the reply!

How do I change the boot order on a OSX/Windows 7 Macbook?

I installed Windows 7 following the Apple tutorial but now the default OS is Windows 7. How do I change it?
Many thanks in advance,

Thanks niel, you're the one. By the apple guide I thought that osx would remain the default one.

How do I change the default settings for opening new window?

Everytime I click on a link, new window would only open in new tab not new window. How would I change this default to open new windows instead of new tab?
Thanks.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences (or Command + comma on your keyboard).
Click Tabs. You can set your preferences there.
