Sometimes users want to rename the iPod itself or change the name of some applications. It is possible that you bought a used player that has already been renamed. To return its original name, just use iTunes.

Instructions
Step 1
Connect your device with a cable to your computer. Launch iTunes and wait until the connected player is detected.
Step 2
In the sidebar of the program, click on the name of your iPod to display a corresponding marker that will allow you to rename the device.
Step 3
Enter a new name for your phone and press the "Enter" button on your keyboard. Synchronize the application and the device using the "Synchronize" button in the lower right corner of the application window.
Step 4
You can rename iPod Shuffle only if you have access to a computer with Mac OSX 10.3.4 or later. When renaming, use only Latin characters, otherwise you will see a corresponding error message in the Finder application.
Step 5
If you want to change the name of a specific application in iTunes, you will need to edit the iTunesMetadata.plist file, which is located in the program folder. Unzip it using the WinRar archiver. Find the “Name” line in the file for the required program and change the line after it to “Name”. If you want to change the name of the program on the phone on the desktop, then edit the info.plist file. After the "CFBundleDisplayName" line, change the value in the "Name" line.
Step 6
To open a file with a.plist extension, use the plist Editor program, which is also available for Windows.
Step 7
On unlocked smartphones using Cydia, you can download the Rename 2.0 utility, which will help you rename all applications installed on your smartphone in just a couple of taps.
