Change name on icloud account

How do you change the name on an iCloud Account after it is set up?

If you mean you want to change the name of your iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID, then tap Edit next to the ID name and enter the name you wish to use (must be in the form of an email address). After changing the name, youi will then need to go to Settings>iCloud on your iOS device(s), delete the existing account, then sign back in with the renamed account. (On a computer, go to System Preferences>iCloud on Mac or the iCloud control panel for Windows on a PC, sign out, then sign back in with the renamed ID.)
Or did you mean you wanted to change the name of your iCloud email account?

Change name of iCloud

I have 3 different icloud accounts.
How can I recognize them in my contacts.
They are all called "all icloud" and I would like to rename them to the different account names.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanx

I had the same issue but think I have a work around. It isn't pretty but it seemed to work for me.
Go to your <user>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources folder
In this folder you will see folder names consisting of numbers and letters: One for each of the accounts you have in your Address Book
Open each folder and edit the 'Configuration.plist' file with a text editor (suggest you don't use your Mac 'TextEdit' app since it risks saving it as a Rich Text file which can cause issues. Try something like TextWrangler or TextMate which are designed for this job. I suggest you duplicate the file before you do so you have something to go back to.
In the file, you will see the iCloud account name helping to identify which account this is dealing with. Search this string '<key>name</key>' then in the line below you will find '<string>iCloud</string>'. Replace the name between the 'strings' with your preferred name. All standard text is supported. eg '<string>Family's Contacts</string>'
Save the file and repeat for each account you want changed.
Restart Address Book then bingo, all good.

I created an icloud account on my ipod but the apple ID I use had my dads name. So my icloud account got linked to my dad's apple account. I got a solution that I can unlink that email from the apple id buteven when i log in into icloud it shows my dads name. I tried to change it but every time I log in using my icloud account in apple it takes me to my dads account and my icloud email is not even in the email list there. it is not really unlinking my icloud account from my dads apple ID. Need help as I really like that email and I can't make any more icloud accounts from my ipod because it says I am not allowed to.

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.

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

Change full name in iCloud mac mail

How do I change a Full Name in iCloud mac mail?

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.)

HT4897 Can I change my primary @icloud or @me account name yet?

Hi all,
I have done some digging but cant see if there has been a change to this option yet... but can we change out primary @icloud or @me email address yet.
I set my original one and wasn't going to use it, and only use alias addresses so if my account got too much spam I could just change alias name. but it looks like some spam list now has my primary @me account.
Cheers
Jay

It's not a separate account. You @me.com and [email protected] are the same thing and you can't delete one or the other.
However what you could do is to set up a Rule (click on the cogwheel icon at top right on the iCloud mail web page) and set up a Rule which move all messages addressed to [email protected] to the Trash.
