Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's the iCloud email address that is incorrect, you cannot change it. If it's a non iCloud address, you can change it at My Apple ID

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

How do u change the name that my email is sent in

How do I change the name that appears on the emails I send?

My full name is in my Contacts, and includes all my e-mail accounts. I have a Yahoo account that I use for online purchases, and I've set my Yahoo account on my iPhone to only include my initials. When I send a message from my Yahoo account to another account (even my own, which is in my Contacts) it comes in with just my initials.
My main e-mail is a GMail account set up as Exchnage, but I have another GMail account set up as a "regular" GMail account on my iPhone. That behaves just as my Yahoo account does, though I don't know how other account types behave.

Yes. Select one or more tracks (use ctrl or shift clicks to add/remove or extend a selection) then right-click or press CTRL-I to Get Info. Use the different tabs of the dialog to make changes.
For general advice on getting things neat & tidy see my article on Grouping tracks into albums.

How do i change the name associated with my icloud

how do i change the name associated with my icloud

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

How can I change the name that my computer/iTunes assigned to my device?

When I hooked up my new 4s to my desktop, it asked if I wanted to start with a new device. I answered yes and the device was assigned a default name based on the name of the computer (which wasn't originally mine) so now iTunes recognizes the device as belonging to some dead guy I never met. Also the same first name as an ex-bf. Call me weird but this bothers me. How can I change the name of the device?

Select the device when it is connected to iTunes. Click in the device name on the summary tab. Enter what you want.

"Your options are:
Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
"Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

Howe how do i change the name of my home folder?

I was completing a form and i noticed that it was commenting in a name that i have never used on this computer. did a little digging and discovered that this name is the name of my "Home" folder. The name is my wife's late husband's name!!!! LoL I have absolutely no idea how that possibly could have become the name of my computer since I have never used that name!!!! Well for some reason I can find absolutely no way to change it. Geez folks, did I somehow stumble in the Microsoft world? I thought Macs were easy! LoL. The name of my computer is correct. Now how do I change the name of my "home" folder, whatever the f**** that is????
Thanks!

How do I change the name of my macbook pro?

How do I change the name of my macbook pro. My full name is listed on it and I want to change that. In the upper right hand corner it is correct but all that lists is my login name.

Mr. Pat, there are some people who still try to do that, but you are risking losing all your music, photos, email, etc. It is not for the faint of heart. This page, albeit published in 2003 by Dr. Smoke, is still pretty valid, IMHO:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html
Here's the opening copy:
Recover from renaming your Home folder
It is a grave mistake to rename your Home folder -- changing its file name from johnsmith toJohn, for example -- in an attempt to change the short name for your account when using Mac® OS X.
Here's a newer, last scary article from the Apple Knowledge Base:

How do you change the name on your computer

How do i change the name of my computer it was my friends now its mine how do i change there name to my name

Here is the information I had found, however I have never had to try. You will have the passowrd too, so the above will help for that.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Hope this helps you

How can I change the name of my home folder?

Just got a new job. Yeah! Taken over former employees' iMac. I made myself Administrator, seem to be the only log in option. But, my home folder is still in the old guys name. How can I change the name on the Home folder without deleting it and loose all the files? CAN'T loose the files? Help...
Thanks

Changing the existing home folder name is complicated. I recommend you NOT do that.
Instead, create a new User with exactly the home folder name you want, and copy your files over to that new user. Once a few days have gone by trouble-free, and you are certain you have no issues, you can delete the old home folder.
While on the subject of users, Some users prefer the peace-of-mind of using an "ordinary" user account, rather than an Admin account for daily use. This makes it much harder for anything to "sneak" onto your Mac, as you need to authenticate anything to be installed in system directories.
To do this, create a new Admin user, log into it, and demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin user. When actively installing stuff, the Admin username and password will be requested.
