Do you have one of the older ipod nano's or is it the newer nano? Just curious but how much did it cost off of ebay? Also, did it come with songs on it already, or was it empty when you bought it? Sometimes buying a used ipod off ebay or craigslist can pay off big, as some of them are sold with all the songs on it, so you can probably get a few hundred songs or more with it! Sometimes a used ipod is worth it just to buy the music, even if you don't even need the ipod :)

If you want to change the ipod owners name, you won't find that option on the ipod settings or ipod about window, etc. Just follow these steps: First connect your ipod to itunes. When the itunes window opens, normally it will say "owners ipod" by default on the left, or in your case it may say joe's ipod, etc., whatever the name is. Click the name on itunes once to get the edit box, and just type over it. That automatically saves it, and you now have a new ipod name. :-)

when i pluged the ipod in the summary come up. just no way to get his name off. went to edit nothing there to remove. am i not in the right place ?

Jim Says:
I assume you mean the Itunes summary? If ITunes isn't opening automatically (it may not depending upon your setttings) when you connect the ipod, then connect your ipod on go to the programs menu and open Itunes manually. If you mean the summary tab on Itunes then thats fine, the ipod name is on the left hand side. If you are not sure what I'm talking about then paste this link in as it shows pictures, you will see Owners ipod in the screen shot http://www.justtext.com/messageboards/20060416065855.html Yours will be just like it except it will show a different name there.

How much did you buy your nano for? I'm going to sell mine on ebay and just wonder what to charge :-) I use the shuffle all the time when I workout, so I figure I might as well sell the nano if I'm not using that one.

when i open itunes on the left side it shows the library,play list and devices under devices show joe's ipod i click on that then the summary comes up. under that it has ipod that has all the info like name{joe} capacity, seril # and format. so from there can i delete the name....

Jim Says:
You are in the right place. Click the ipod name just once to highlight that name (you can ignore the summary screen, all you care about is that name). Try clicking or right clicking it once (you may have a different Itunes version), but you will see it highlight and get a box around it and you can then simply type over the ipod name. I just tried it again to make sure I was seeing it right, and I can change the name no problem.
