Can't change Google Talk name in Messages

I'm having trouble changing my displayed name in Messages in Google Chat. In "Internet Accounts", I only have my iCloud account and my Google account, both of which say my name. Additionally, in Messages, all of my accounts say my name. However, my buddy list window for my Google Talk/Jabber account says a different name (its the primary account name used by my family for App Store/iTunes).
What steps can I take to fix this?

Hi Katie,
If you are using a Microsoft Exchange account, you cannot change the display name. Only your Exchange administrator can make this change. For more information, you can click
here.
Therefore, if you want to change your display name, please contact your Exchange administrator for more help. For your reference, here is a blog about changing Alias and Display Name in Exchange server(For Exchange 2013, change it in EAC):

    My contacts are listed by telephone numbers instead of names in my messages since I upgraded to OS8? How can I change it to names?l,

    Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
    1) is your Apple ID listed there?
    2)  Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
    3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

  • How to initiate a conversation on google talk using the messages app? (I have already added my account and enabled it in the preferences menu of the messages app)

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion recently, iMessage (through the messages app) works even better. But because the messages app has now completely replaced the former iChat app, it also has the ability to add google (google talk), yahoo and AIM accounts for instant messaging. I have added my gmail account through the prefernces menu in the messages app and have also enabled it. However I'm unable to start a chat with any of my contacts on gtalk. Once I start a new message and type in the concerned person's google email id (which is on my friends list, added through google talk earlier), I get a message saying the person isn't available on iMessage. I don't see any other option to open a new chat window for my google talk contact who are not on iMessage. Is there anything else that can be done or is it only possible to receive messages on google talk via the messages app on Mountain Lion?

    Try to do this:
    - be sure you have added your GMAIL / GTALK account on Sys pref. Mail Contacts and Calendars
    - Open Messages, preferences, Account. Now you should see iMessage, Gtalk and Bonjour. Try to disable iMessage and Bonjour and see if anything changes.
    Let me know,

  • IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  How can I change it in mail and messages?

    HI,
    iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization.  This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

    yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
    I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off  "invert color" mode just to switch between
    the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
    I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
    What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
    one LIGHT color scheme,
    and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
    See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
    the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
    then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
    you want to play a game.
    and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so  many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again.   I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option. 
    I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen..  VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
    so I agree completely...
    but ya know, they don't listen to us...  cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about....  What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues,  from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
    I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
    kind regards,
    Tom

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    under contacts, there's a field for "phonetic first/last name." Just spell it how it sounds and Siri will get it.

  • Can I change the network name?

    Can I change the network name on a newly set up Airport wireless network? I have just set up a new 3Gb Time Capsule and got so involved with trying to make it work that I just accepted the suggested name.

    I have a 2Tb in process.
    If this means that you are currently backing up data to the Time Capsule, let that process complete before you make any other changes.
    I think I can see how to change the network password in 'Keychain'. Is that ok?
    No, you change the wireless network password the same way that you would change the wireless network name....using the same window in AirPort Utility that is pictured above.
    Simply Edit / backspace out the current password and enter the new password that you want to use. Do the same to Verify and then click Update to save the changes.
