Change Apple Support User Name

Does anyone know how to change my Apple Support user name in Apple Support Communities?

Hi,
Niel's answer may not be the one you want to hear or see but it does succinctly give you the answer you are looking for.
Users cannot change their own Posting name here at Apple Support Communities under the current software used to run the Boards.
In rare cases it has been know that the Hosts have intervened (this fall inside their criteria which we can only guess at, but seems to be linked to Privacy and Cyberstalking or harassment).

Hello oshalaby,
To get it to your new Apple ID, you would need to change it back to your old on so you can turn off Find My Device and turn it off. Once that is done, change it back to what you are currently using now. Take a look at the article below for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Regards,
-Norm G.

How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

It is possible he was incorrect.
> When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
> In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.
>
> You don't have to move to a new company to have new software or a new system.
>
> How many million participants does StackOverflow have? Size matters.
How many million participants have these forums?
At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
> Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

Changed my short user name, now getting endless "allow" requests

I have changed my short user name a while back and noticed a few expected issues, fixed some permissions, had added a group containing my old username and the new one, all is fine.
I noticed in the last couple of days ago after changing some sharing settings, that now I'm getting a flood of keychain requests. I have repaired the key chain, sync'd with me.com and still get requests, here and there. How can I get them all resolved?
My keychain is unlocking properly when I login. I have seen some flakiness, but on the whole, just annoying few remaining requests coming. Ideas?

I think you misunderstood. The operation of changing my short user name went fine. I used that note you refer to on apple support, but also found this article, which seems to cover all levels of the process, giving you an understanding of what the issues of each approach are: http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshort The author indicates that Apple has worked tirelessly on the issue of changing the short user name and this came off without a hitch.
What I'm experiencing is that I have a keychain access issue which I experience only on one of my snow leopard systems. It will likely go away if I completely replace my mobile me sync on that machine. I'll try that and see.

HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.

Can I have two Iphones connected to one icloud account and if so, how do I change the icloud user name on the phone

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

How can I change my login user name to my current new email

I need to change mu iCloud user name from my old email to me new one but it won't let me because it is the same as my rescue email address. How do I get around this if it is the only email address I have?

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

I change my AppleID user name but iCloud still has the old AppleID, how do I correct this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

Change my forum user name

Is it possible to change my forum user name?

It's not a big deal and I don't want to make it so. It's just that it would be nice if there were something in place to deal with situations like mine. I have a MobileMe account now that I have a Mac. There is no way to associate my MobileMe .ME email address with my current profile, and I would like to reconcile that email with my user ID. So, the logic goes, if I could change the user ID associated with my non-MobileMe email, then that would free up my current (and preferred) user ID to be usable with my MobileMe email address.
Like I say, I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it, but it would be nice if Apple would make some provision to link a MobileMe email with an existing user ID instead of throwing up a brick wall between the two, thus forcing a new MobileMe user (and presumably a new Mac users) from having to choose between continuing to use their established (and presumably preferred) user ID and having to create a new user ID in the forums simply to be able to use their new MobileMe email address.
That's all I'm trying to do.

HT4623 How can I chance Apple ID user name?

I deleted my old e-mail account and that was my Apple ID user name.
I created another Apple ID user name with the current e-mail account I have. Fine!
The thing is... I am trying to reset my IPhone 4 and it shows me my older user name and not the current one. Ok! I use the same password for both... BUT it says that my password or ID are incorrect. That means I am not able to reset it.
I already changed my Apple ID on my cellphone, but everytime I try to reset it, it still shows the old one.
Please... Somebody help me!

To change the iCloud ID 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. 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
I would suggest restoring as new.

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
