Can't Change Account Full Name

In System Prefs > Users & Groups,
The text entry field to change the User's Full Name is no longer there.  Does anyone know how to change the User's Full Name? in OS 10.10?
At the moment, my user full name is "Philip's MacPro".  Before the upgrade it was just my first and last name.  Don't know how I managed to change it but I want to change it back.  Any ideas?

Many thanks!  That did the trick

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Disable changing accounts 'Full Name' field

    Just wondering how to disable users from changing their AD accounts 'Full name' field in the Users & Groups preferences.
    We need there mac account name it to be their actual Active Directory name but right now they can change it to anything they want, including Emoji characters which can't be read on anything else.
    /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/username.plist
    This has the key of RealName which is the name they can change from System Preferences.
    Is there a way to stop them changing the name?

  • Can you change the "Full Name" of a BO account

    We have a user who has changed their surname. We can rename the Account Name but the Full Name is greyed out and I cna't see anyway I can change this.
    How have you handled such name changes (it may even apply if you have setup an account name and made a spelling error).
    With thanks

    Gill,
          Looks like your CMS is integrated with some sort of 3rd party security like LDAP, AD &/or SAP.  If you want the option to change/update users FULL name then you must un-check that option.
    See example for SAP Integration where the FULL Name, Email setting are NOT being imported over from SAP.

  • Changing my full name

    Hello,
    Several years ago I registered for an Apple ID with the name "XYZ". Since then, I have changed it to be "ABC" in my Apple ID configuration page, and it's indeed been updated.
    Currently I'm trying to register for an iOS dev program, but it appears that in the "Full Name" box there is "XYZ" again, without any option to change it.
    I tried to contact the iTunes Store Support, but this issue falls outside their specialty.
    How can I change my "Full Name" to be "ABC"?
    Thanks!

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

    Go to icloud.com >> mail >> gear in the upper right >> preferences >> accounts.  You can change it there.  In my testing, I had to close and reopen my mail.app for it to take affect.

    I have asked the hosts to consider editing out your name details for your own security.   I'm not sure what you should now do.    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'

  • How to change my 'full name' in Mail on iPhone?

    I use a me.com address and iCloud. I successfully changed my full name in Mail on my Mac, but won't show up on mail sent from phone.

    Ah, after endless searching, this popped up in "More like this" right after I posted:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar> Select the email account with the issue and go into the Account Info area. In the Name field enter your full name.
    Looks like it has to be changed locally on the phone. Thanks!

  • 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.

    To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    how can i change a contact name pronunciation on siri

    under contacts, there's a field for "phonetic first/last name." Just spell it how it sounds and Siri will get it.
    If you don't find the field, go into edit mode and choose "add field".
