Changing Name on iPod Mini [Solved]

[Option]

i recently bought my friends old iPod mini because he got a new one. when connected to iTunes it reads as "Zdzinas Goral" as its ID, designation, name, whatever it may be called. I was wondering if at all possible, how to change this so im not left with his dreaded name for my iPod. Thanks.

You can change it in the iPods property menu via iTunes.

Huh. You should be making up a name for the iPod, not putting your own name.

Mine says "Cauchy".

hmph.. i checked everywhere in iTunes the other day and found nothing of the sort. I guess I'll check again . Yoni, im not going to name my iPod after my own name.. why would i want an iPod named Andrew? but thanks for the tip anyways?

my iPod is named Matthew (maybe it has my last name, dunno) that way if I lose it and an honest person finds it, they know who it belongs to.

mount the ipod as a mass-storage device. do a search for "goral." Replace it with your name. Or go to apple.com and get the ipod reset/update software.

You "bought" it from your friend? Is it "used"?

If the name is something crazy like that, it has to be used

lol. yeah, its used, but im not seeing that to be a problem. so i figured out how to change the name of the iPod. when youre in iTunes, in the left table where it lists Library and all the playlists and such.. when the iPod is connected, its displayed there. click it twice (not double-click) and then type something different, and hit enter or click outside the name and it changes.
