  • How can I change my username at game center and at apple support

    How can I change my username at game enter and here at apple support??????  

    Tracy, see this article:  iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
    Before you change it, read that article carefully and make sure you really want to do it. 
    Also, note that if you are using Auto Downloading, the Terms and Conditions state that "You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days." 

  • My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

    My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

    iCloud from an account perspective is associated with the AppleID. Unless you have the password, there's nothing you can do to modify it.
    As suggested, you just want to create your own and reassocited the iPad with your new one. You will lose data and purchased apps, however. Basically, you will be starting from scratch.

  • How can I change my username or delete my profile on Apple Support Communities

    I no longer use it, and it is causing my name to appear in Google search results even though I have my name set to "private" under my settings.
    Also, how can I change my username?

    Your profile will always be there; you cannot delete it, but you can delete all entries or set them so nothing will show but your user name. Just go to your page and click on "edit profile and privacy".
    As for your username: unfortunately, that cannot be changed. You can read many other discussions regarding this subject if you check "more like this" in the right column.

  • HT204268 I logged in to my account and it did not cue me to change my username.  I have the latest version of itunes.  How can I change my username?

    I logged into my itunes account and I cannot find out how to change my username.  No cue is showing up when I log on.  How can I do this?

    HI Patricia,
    Now to make sure that we are on the same page, as long as you have followed the steps from the original article that you came from then you should be good. Those steps were to sign out of iTunes with the AOL account and then sign back in to walk you through converting it to an email address as the username. As long as when looking at your Apple ID that is signed into iTunes, you see an email address then you have made the change. If you are still stuck then I would recommend that you contact Apple before the deadline of March 31st so you will not have any issues.

  • How can I change my username in the Gamecenter ?

    Does somebody know how to change the username in the gamecenter? My name appears on it and I would like to put something else as a username. Tks

    You must add the itunes redirect tag within the <channel> element of your feed. Its doubtful that a 3rd party app would support this tag, but its possible. If you have access to the actual xml file, you can add the redirect feed manually using any text editor.
    <itunes:new-feed-url>http://yournewdomain.com/podcast.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
    The itunes redirect tag simply tells iTunes users where your podcast has been moved to, and updates their local settings accordingly. The next time they visit your podcast, they will go directly to your new feed specified in the redirect tag.
    For non-iTunes users, the itunes redirect tag doesn't help. Thats where the 301 redirect comes in, however it is a bit complicated depending on the type of host your podcast is on. If you don't want to tackle the 301 redirect, keep reading.
    One method of updating non-iTunes users...if you can still post an episode to your old feed, then one option is to post a text file that directs people to your new feed. You could also post a brief audio clip stating the same thing. Leave this episode up for a couple of weeks and then kill your old feed.

  • Just created a Firefox support account using my e-mail address as the username. Did not know that this would show up when I asked questions. Can I change my username? If not can I delete my account and start again.

    Basically, without thinking, I used my e-mail address as my username, and I don't want to get spammed because of my thoughtlessness. Anyway, I'd like to change my username. I picked a display name "TonyG" and thought only that would display, but both my username and my display name show when I post. If I cannot change my username, I would like to start over by deleting this account and starting a new account. Any advice out there? Many thanks, in advance.

    Since you have used your old Display name, it'll always show your email address in the forum for this question. When you post another question in the future, it should show your Display name instead.
    As I said, User Name is to be used to log into your forum account, the Display Name is what it'll be shown when you post in this forum. You can try to post a test in the forum to see if your Display Name is being shown or not.

  • Can't change my username to my email address

    I am experiencing a problem that looks fairly unique. I've searched all around and haven't found any similar cases.
    I have an iTunes account with username albedoa associated with a verified email address which I will refer to as email. I know that iCloud will require a username in email format, so I wanted to switch my username to email. In my account settings, I saw this option:
    Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
    Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
    Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
    email
    I clicked the Submit button, and nothing happened. I tried it in both Chrome and Safari, but each time the page would reload and my username would still be shown as albedoa. If I tried to edit the username directly to reflect email, I received the following error:
    This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.
    So I made a new account with the username email and associated it to the email address email (the same as the other account). However, I cannot install my purchased apps using that account because they were purchased using my other account. What is going on here? How am I to retain my purchases when iCloud is activated? I don't have a MobileMe account.
    Thanks!

    OK I figured out a workaround. Here are the steps:
    1. Go to iforgot.apple.com and retrieve/reset the password for the 'email address' account that you want ([email protected] let's say).
    2. Once you have the password for the 'email address' account login to appleid.apple.com using the email address login.
    3. Change the username/primary email to another email address that you have access too that is different from the email you want your primary AppleID to be.
    4. Verify the change from step 3 by clicking on the link in the confirmation email.
    5. Login to appleid.apple.com using your primary, non-email address account and click 'edit' next to the Apple ID field and change it to match the email you want.
    6. Click Save Changes at the bottom.

  • Can I change my username on Apple Support Communities?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could make a change in my username. I really don't like the numbers on the end and I would like it to just be my first and last name with a capital at the beginning of each name(ie John Smith). If an admin could change it for me, it would mean a great deal. I know you're not supposed be able to change your name unless you are an admin or operator but I just wanted to make a minor change.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    The con would be if you have made any purchases in the iTunes Store or Mac App Store or use iCloud using your existing Apple ID, you'll have to keep track of two Apple IDs and their relevant passwords and remember which you use where. If you forget and start making purchases with the second ID, it can become rather cumbersome and confusion when it comes time to update apps or re-download content.
    As to which of your proposed options is better, I don't have any strong opinion. Any difference is rather arbitrary and so your personal preference.
    Regards.

  • How can I change my username or delete an apple id?

    Its an older id, not this one, where I mistakenly used my full name as the username.
    Thanks.

    Click on my name and you will see how much of your profile is viewable. It is really up to you how much is there, delete as much from the profile as you can. I've yet to have my data "misused" here by Apple.
    But it won't do any good to delete your old alias as it has already been indexed by Google, as you've discovered. Even if they deleted your old alias from here it woud still be visible in a Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. search. You would have to ask every search engine to also delete all of your information, which they probably won't do short of a court order.

  • I had to change my iCloud/iTunes user name and when I go into my iPhone to change it on the iCloud, it only allows me to change the password. How can I change the username?

    Do I just need to delete the account and start over? Will I lose info?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • How to change the username in SCN ?

    Hello SAP,
    how can I change my username, to no longer consists german "Umlauts" ?
    Currently, it looks everywhere (even here in the forum) like this:
    "Volker Güldenpfennig"
    As you can imagine, I would prefer the following:
    "Volker Gueldenpfennig"
    This seems to be caused by a wrong conversion between your databases from UTF-8 to ASCII Latin-1 ...
    But, I was not able to change my username ...
    Could you please help me with the trick ?
    thanks a lot,
