Want to change the name of your
iPod? The first time you ran the iPod Setup
Assistant, you were asked to name your iPod. But many people are
so excited to use their new iPod that they blow right past this step.
So what should you do if you want to change the name of your iPod?
Renaming your iPod is actually
a very simple procedure (we get tons of emails every month
asking us how to do this). Here's a list of step-by-step
instructions on how to rename your iPod:
NERD
NOTE: Using
the same method in this article, you can rename your
iTunes Library from "Library" to anything you want.
Some suggestions: The Vault, My Jukebox, Music Machine...
HOW TO RENAME
YOUR iPOD
Turn on your computer
and open the iTunes application
Connect your
iPod to your computer. Wait until you see your iPod appear in the
iTunes Source list. In this example, my 60GB Video iPod is just
called "iPod". That's boring. Let's change it.
Double click on your
iPod's name. The iPod's name should now be highlighted and
editable.
Type a new name.
Press Enter. This name is still boring, but at least you
get the idea right?
NERD
NOTE: Don't feel like opening iTunes to rename
your iPod? You can actually rename it directly from the Finder
(Mac) or Windows (PC) unless your iPod is set to AutoSync with
iTunes. If you do have an AutoSyncing iPod, please use the
procedure detailed above.
