    When you plug your iPhone into iTunes, it should recognize it on the left hand bar underneath all your music and such. All you do is double click on the name and retype what you want.

    Maybe by going to Settings|General|Reset.

    But you likely would lose all your data and might end up with an activation issue -- dunno. I'd call AT&T re activation loss before I did that.

    I know my stuff with Apple. Do what I said before you do anything else. There is no need to reset it nor call AT&T.

    Do report when you do this successfully. I would be a bit concerned about that first sync between the Mac and the iPhone.

    you can not sync songs from the phone, but you sync songs from itunes by clicking sync. if you only want to have the songs (lets say from a friend) make sure you are manually managing the song files. besides that i wouldn't imagine any other way to do so.
