How to rename 1st gen iPod touch?

I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch and can not find anywhere to rename it. The directions for renaming via iTunes are for older versions and can not be used. The directions available for changing names of itouches do not work either on this older generation. It is running 4.2.1 ( the newest iOS avail for it )


Help.

iMac, OS X Server, Yosemite/Server 10.0.4

Look further down that page (to which lllaass linked) at the section "Use your computer".


In my screenshots below, my iTunes is set up to show a slightly different view, but the principal is the same.


The instruction tells you to look at the iPod - on the Summary pane - and double-click your iPod's name.
