I want to know how change in computer thank you I had Windows 7

Hi John, here is the solution:

1 Open RegEdit - Click the Start Menu, go to Accessories and select Run. In the "Run" Dialogue box that opens type in "regedit"

2 Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows Portable Devices > Devices:

3 Find "USB#VID_05AC&PID_1297#CC642E1B9835D04E791694EAD74293EC398B1F36":

From inside there, double click the "FriendlyName" key to change "Apple iPhone" to "John's iPhone" or whatever your Name is and your Device is (iPhone, iPad, iPod).

4: Find ""USB#VID_05AC&PID_1297&MI_00#0" from Devices too and change that to "John's iPhone" too.

   Note

The USB Registry Keys may be different, just change whatever USB Registry Keys you have in that selected RegEdit area.

   Information

There may be other USB......... Registry Keys, if there are, change those too please.

Log off and log back on to Apply the changes, if that doesn't help, restart.

After.. -

Hope this helps, it worked for me.
Good Luck, Joe. :)

Hi Zepher, I did this on iTunes and from the iPhone itself. Nothing worked, however changing the Registry Keys did.

Zepher said:

just did the registry mod you posted and it worked for me, changed instantly.

does that mean every iPhone plugged into the computer will now say "Zepher's iPhone"?

No Idea, I only have one iPhone to test it with, I would assume so though.

Or maybe each different iPhone inserted adds another USB Registry Key and you have the option to change that one too.

I'll borrow my friends iPhone when I insert my iPhone and will test it out.

I dont have this key

USB#VID_05AC&PID_1297&MI_00#0

and when I do log off and disconnect the usb cable and insert again is comeback say apple iphone

I dont know what I do wrong

Try going back to regedit and go here again: Microsoft > Windows Portable Devices > Devices and select something there, change it to "John's iPhone" and do the same for the other keys too.

Change the ""Friendly Name" Current Device key but not the "Defsult Keys".

I don't think all the USB Keys are the same name, just change change whatever "Friendly Name" Keys you do have.
