Geek Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/change-iphone-name1.jpg" alt="Change the iPhone Name through iTunes" title="change-iphone-name" width="195" height="170" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16593" /> Did you buy a used iPhone and you want to change its name? Maybe you just want to rename your iPhone to something more appealing? <strong>Changing the name of any iOS device takes just a minute</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Plug the iPhone into your computer</li> <li>Launch iTunes</li> <li>Click and hover on the iPhones name in the iTunes sidebar until the familiar renaming highlighter comes up</li> <li>Type in the new name of the iPhone and hit return</li> </ul> <p>The name change is instant and will be reflected on the iPhone, backups, iTunes, and elsewhere the devices name is used. </p> <p>These instructions are geared towards the iPhone, mostly because a friend of mine just bought a used iPhone to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/06/iphone-4-pay-go/">setup as a pay-go phone</a> and the phone still had the previous owners name on it. Not wanting to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/21/restore-iphone-from-backup/">restore the iPhone</a> because it came with a great music library and he didn’t have the original iOS backups, just renaming it was the best option. </p> <p>Regardless, renaming any other iOS device including iPods, iPod touches, iPads, Apple TV’s, or anything else that plugs and syncs to iTunes is exactly the same as this process.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IDBV5H0cWnXxjzQ4aU07js5NS3E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IDBV5H0cWnXxjzQ4aU07js5NS3E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IDBV5H0cWnXxjzQ4aU07js5NS3E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IDBV5H0cWnXxjzQ4aU07js5NS3E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FQZpdkMUzW8:BTao8OwTDfg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/FQZpdkMUzW8" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
