Can I change my name on iCloud email?

I have iCloud email address that is my name before getting married. How can I change my name to show my new name or can I create another email address to use that name?

Answer: You cannot change an iCloud.com email once it's created (there is a little warning that tells you this when you set it up initially).
What other options do you have?
1) Create a new Apple ID account (least recommended option).  This will make a whole new account and any purchases or money you spent of have on your current account will not be on the new account. Therefore, you would have to continue to use two Apple IDs or give up the old account as they cannot be merged.
2) Create an email alias.  (most recommended).  Although you will still log into your iCloud with the same Apple ID you currently use, an alias will allow you to send and receive emails using the alias but will still come through your normal icloud email since you can't change it.

  • Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

    Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Change "Full Name" in iCloud Email Preferences

    I must have entered a wrong "Full Name" in my iCloud email preferences in the beginning and would like to change that. Unfortunately it always tells me: "The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty". How can I access that field? I've tried it, but it would not let me.

    If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account.  You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
    Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)?  If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely.  To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again.  (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Can't change account name in icloud after updating my email account

    Hi -
    I changed my Apple ID to a new e-mail account.  When accessing iCloud from my iphone 4s, I am unable to change my account name to match my new Apple ID & email account.
    Any ideas?
    ESM

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account then sign back in with the changed ID.  This will delete the account and your synced data from from device but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can i change de name of my icloud account?

    Here's the problem.  I've been using the same itunes account for years.  It's on my girlfriends name.
    Since I've been using my macbook pro for my company, everythime I send an ical invitation to someone they see her name instead of my name.
    So my question is:
    How can I change the name of the icloud account?  or How can I change the config of ical so it will only invite people from my email adress and not the icloud adress?
    thanks

    You could set up a new account in "Settings > iCloud" and use that for email and calendar (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

  • HT5621 Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything.

    Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything. I've updated my Apple ID through my PC, and iTunes Store, but it will not populate and I am losing my mind. This is ridiculously frustrating

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts.    You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved.    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

    Dear support team, my security is not avalable now ! how can i change it similar to my email accout?

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010

    Hi
    How I can change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010. I want to configure display name (from address)of email
     for each site collection separately.for example I want to change "software unit"
     in below pic to another name for my software unit site collection.
    How I can do this?
    Thanx.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010.
    In my environment, if I assign a task to a user, the email is as below:
    The “test” is the site name, the [email protected] is the “From” user.
    Do you want to change the “From” field in the workflow?
    If so, you can have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
    ) which allow you to specify the sender.
    Here are some similar threads for your reference:

  • How can i correct my name on icloud

    How can I Correct my name from icloud?

    You can't change it there.  You have to delete the account and set up a new one.  When you delete you lose access to the data you saved there under that account.  I think option appears to save data to the phone when you delete the icloud account

    The attachment will take the name of the form that that is being attached. If you rename the file to what you want then it will take that name.
