Hard reset rename problem

[Bully]

Can someone please put me out of my misery, whenever I have hard reset my device, sometimes deliberately, sometimes not, then resync I can't use the same device name. As I always end up renaming it the first expletive that comes to mind I'm running out of names :evil: My aim is to use sprite backup to maintain an image of the device on my pc so when the inevitable happens I can just restore everything, apps and all. Am I being unrealistic there? Thanks for your patience, I've been through the search options but no luck.

In active sync go to file, mobile device (these are the device names setup under active sync) choose which device name you want to delete then click on file \ delete partnership. Do this for each device name you would like to delete (it will also ask if you would like to delete the file folder it created for that device, your choice)

Hi!

I used to have your same problem, there is a easy work around: use Sprite back on SD card instead that on PC (or on SD card before than on PC) and you would never have to change name again!

Hope this helps.

Excellent! Thanks to both of you! Iggy, has that man ever made a crap record? No.
