Right now I'm looking for any other piece of network/device monitoring software that can verify the Buffy"s iPhone name for me. I've even gone the drastic route and wiped my iPhone clean, deleted the iStat.ipa application file from my computer's hard drive, had my iPhone redownload the app (so as to make sure there aren't any settings hanging around), reinstalled iStat Server (after cleaning all prefs and kexts), re-entered the security code, and the same thing still happens.

Even when connecting to a new Mac that has never seen the light of iStat in its history produces the same result: it is recognizing my phone as Buffy"s iPhone. The name that appears is not a name I have ever chosen, for any kind of electrical device, during my entire time on Earth - that's why it's so weird.Ģ) Deleted every known preference, kext, or config file that iStat Server uses.ħ) Reset authorizations from within iStat Serverĩ) Installed iStat Server clean and fresh on another Mac that has never had iStat Server installed on it It leads me to believe that 'Buffy"s iPhone' is somehow deeply-rooted in the hardware somewhere now, and that the double-quotes are preventing a rename operation from successfully completing on some level. I'm thinking that the double-quote in the name is somehow interfering with renaming the device on some ultra-low level of the hardware or something.ĭoes there exist a more deeply-reaching "restore" or "reformat" or "start over" function that I can perform to rid my phone of this name? Mind you, the phone shows up properly as "Icabod" in iTunes and such, but the fact that iStat Server shows the previous owner's phone name just bugs me. I can't seem to make it "forget" this name. I make another connection to iStat Server, and again, the iPhone shows up as Buffy"s iPhone. I named the phone, again, "Icabod," and spent the next hour reloading and rearranging all my apps to my liking.

So I restored the iPhone in iTunes and chose to set it up as a new phone (NOT restoring from a backup). This, however, is not the problem, and doesn't bother me at all because the phone works 100%. Obviously, I had gotten a refurb as a replacement when my ringer switch fell off. I noticed that everywhere (iTunes, Finder, etc.), the iPhone is properly named "Icabod." However, in the iStat Server software, when I make a connection from the iPhone, the iPhone's name is reported as "Buffy"s iPhone" - that's Buffy"s iPhone, complete with the double-quote before the 's' character.

I manage several servers, and so Bjango's iStat and iStat Server for Mac OS X were installed on the phone. I named it "Icabod." I thought it was cute. I took the new phone home and restored from a backup.

All was well for a few months, then the ringer switch fell off - not a problem, the phone was replaced on-the-spot at the Apple Store here in San Antonio (La Cantera). So I signed my life away for 2 years in December 2008 and got an iPhone 3G.
