How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps?

Hi jprohask63,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article. 
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe

    You have to clear saved password for this page:
    # Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
    # Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
    # On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
    # Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one.

  • How do i change my user name on my icloud account

    How can i change my icloud account user name on my iphone 4s

    Hello MsTrisha60,
    It sounds like you are wanting to change the signed in iCloud account on your phone in settings. The following article should help you do that named:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How can I change suggested user names?

    When I sign in to one of my frequently used web pages I get a suggested user name that is not relevant to that page. How do I change or remove the suggested user name?

    hello, go to firefox > options > privacy & chose "Use custom settings for history", then you can disable the storage of form data. Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information
    in case firefox is filling in the password automatically too, you can change that in the security tab (also in the options panel). Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox

  • Can't change default user name on Authentication dialogs

    Due to a corrupt user account, I had to create a new user account. I specified a "2" at the end of my full name i.e. "Full Name 2" because I couldn't use the same full name as the corrupt account.
    I still haven't deleted the old corrupt one yet just in case I need something, however, now that I am using the new account I renamed the new account to "Full Name" without the "2" at the end of it, but for some strange reason OS X still uses "Full Name 2" on the authentication dialog boxes.
    Just to summarise, I do not have an account called "Full Name 2" anymore - I've even updated the contact record - and when I get asked to authenticate via a dialog box, the name defaults to "Full Name 2".
    Not sure why it's still doing this and how do I get rid of it - I just it to default to "Full Name".
    At the moment I can login with both "Full Name" and "Full Name 2".
    I tried deleting some preferences and re-log back in - but this didn't do the trick, but admittedly I may not have trashed the right ones.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    First, I create a new user account via System Preferences -> Accounts. I gave it a different account name and I entered the same full name. It rejected it saying the full name was already in use, so I renamed the full name to "Full Name 2" just to I can create the account.
    Then, I logged in to the new account. Tested it, set it up how I wanted it.
    Then I logged back in to the old faulty account, and renamed the full name from "Full Name" to "Full Name OLD". I did this via Accounts. I simply double clicked the old account and the edit window showed up. I just renamed the full name field.
    I then edited the new account, and renamed the full name field from "Full Name 2" to "Full Name". Since the original account now had a different name, I was now able to rename the new account to the desired name, i.e. without a "2" in it.
    However - now it shows a 2 in the default account name whenever I need to authenticate something.

  • How do you change the User name?

    In Preferences you can change it, but in MacHD/Users you can't, and the two were slightly different (Preferences: John Smith; Users: johnsmith) to start with. I need to change the MacHD/Users (the one with the house icon) so that my online backup service can recognize it. If it can't be done I'll have to re-upload 500 GB of data which will take a month and slow my computer to a crawl. ... and I'll just chalk it up to another head-scratcher issue with Mountain Lion. This all started when I had to do a clean install of Mountain Lion.

    Start with a google search for change shortname site:apple.com and peruse the hits.

  • How can i change the user name that i have --lion.

    hi all,
    i was wondering how to change my username.  the one im referring to is the one that comes under the library icon. it is also the one that shows up under user when i launch my activity monitor application. 
    this is seemingly a different username that i use when i log onto my computer or verify changes.

    There should be something called "System Preferences" and then "accounts" go to that. There you can change it.

  • How can I change the user name on a macbook?

    I don't mean the accounts, but the actual name of the user of the macbook.
    ex. where it says "John Smith's Macbook".

    There should be something called "System Preferences" and then "accounts" go to that. There you can change it.

  • How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

    I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
    Thanks.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.
