Change profile name on support form

Can anyone tell me how do I change my profile name on this support forum?

Hello,
You cannot...once created, it is permanent. To change would require admin access...if really necessary, click the "Report Inappropriate Content" link on the left side of any of your posts and ask for the change you desire.
Good luck!

Changing profile name and picture.

I recently changed my Facebook accounts and after connectin to my new FB account, my Spotify account still shows the FB profile picture from my old account, and name from my old account. I tried to change those in the Spotify account profile page, but there's no way to do so. (I am sign in with a spotify account, not the facebook account). Is there anyway to change the display name (not username) and profile picture on your spotify account?

Hi Zarchanalin, here are a few things I would try:
1) Log out of Spotify, and log back in using your Facebook details. This should refresh the information that Spotify pulls from Facebook.
2) If that doesn't work, unlink Spotify from Facebook, and on Facebook de-authorize Spotify from using your details. Then re-link Facebook, and re-authorize Spotify.
3) Shout at the computer because I'm out of ideas.
Let me know if any of those work for you (especially if number three works, because that'd be pretty remarkable), and if they don't I'll do some more digging to see if I can come up with anything else. Cheers!

I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings?

How to change file names for .icc profiles in CS4?

I recently downloaded several photo paper profiles to my Mac (OS 10.5.8) and installed them in the Library > ColorSync > Profiles folder. I edited the rather cryptic file names slightly so I could better determine which paper each profile was for.
But when I check the drop-down list of profiles available in the Print dialogue for CS4, the file names are still the original ones that were initially downloaded. I rebooted my OS and relaunched PS, but no change.
Are these .icc files being kept somewhere else on my System HD by PS? Is this not a good thing to even try doing, or can I just change the .icc file names in the location that PS is accessing them? Thanks.

Thanks Chris and c. Under Description I'm presented with three Names for the profile: ASCII, UniCode and Mac Script. ASCII and Mac Script are the same name for the profile, with nothing being in the UniCode Name box. Which do I change -- both?
Am I going to screw things up in Photoshop if I change these names to something I can comprehend? Looks like I may just have to make a sticky-note list of the cryptic profile names with my own descriptive name as a reference. Thanks.

Change of Profile name

I encountered a new problem that I hope you can help me with. Everything was going along ok. I created 3 new courses in the Course Manager and as part of it I changed the name in my profile (might have been a mistake). Now even though I am using the same itunes account as a contributor, I can no longer access my courses or course manager. This is my personal itunes account. Has this become a problem? I am getting the message below... Can you help or do I need to create yet another account?

My guess is as good as yours, all it tells you it is not connected.

Profile name change

Hi folks,
i want to change my profile name with the same account.i checked control panel but there is no edit option.
can you let me know how can edit my profile name..
Thanks,
Neelu.

Hello Neelu,
You change this using the link at the top of this page "MyProfile". From that menu select "Update Profile". On the update profile page you will see a box to enter a display name. Change what is there and use the save buttons located at either the top or bottom of the page.
It may take up to 24 hours before your change becomes visible.
Regards,
David
Just received an update from our QA team that a new change was introduced that blocks the ability to change a display name entirely. Sorry for this earlier misleading reply.

When i change my name and profile picture, can the blocked people see my name and my profile?
Help me please

I'm not really sure but I think yes. Blocking a contact will only prevent them from contacting you or sending you contact request. The visibility of your account information depends on how you set it, if you had them visible to public or to your contacts only.

I received a refurbished MBA today. I have my original files on Time Machine from my first computer with 2 accounts/profiles/users. I want to make migration of those files easy, but change the name of one of the profiles on the MBA.Things I should know?

I have not set up the New-to-me MBA yet.

Thanks so much for that article, however, I think that article is more confusing, since it says that there are 2 names, and then throughout the article refers to at least 4, and I am not 100% sure that was what I am after... So, maybe I am not asking correctly.... let me give more details here..
I had a late 2008 Macbook with 2 "profiles" (work/home) (not sure which 'names' these would be) that was consistently backed up to an external HDD via Time Machine through my wifi network at home. I had upgraded the OS to Mavericks and the "Latest" backup was backed up in Mavericks. This computer was stolen a couple weeks back. I have now purchaed an Apple refurbished macbook air and received it recently and have not even taken it out of the packaging. I assume that it is running Mavericks, but don't know that for sure. Thus, I have not created any new accounts on the new device yet. I want to migrate my backed up files from the external HDD and re-establish 2 'profiles', however, one of the "names" I'd like to change for the new machine. So part of my issue is not knowing what the differences are between, "short names", "display names", "user account names", "profile names", and "home directory names". I know that some of these refer to the same thing, but I am unsure which is which.
What I remember about my old machine was this... When I looked at the Users folder, there were three folders listed within it, "Shared", "work-name", "home-name". I assume these are what's refered to as "home directory names" since they were all lowercase, all one word. When I turned on the computer, the "profiles" that showed up for login had different words than these listed, let's say, "work" and "home".
What I want is for the "work" profile and "work-name" directory to stay the same, and the "home" profile name to stay the same while the "home-name" directory name changes to something else.
I've read many posts now, and haven't found the clear cut example of what I am attempting to do. Some say to create a dummy admin account on the new machine, use Migration Assistance to bring the backed-up files over to the new-to-me MBA, with the two profile names as they existed. In the dummy admin account somehow make changes to the one account I want to change, and then after restart, remove the dummy admin account. I found numerous posts indicating that this may result in permissions problems, which I do not want to have to debug. I'm a decent computer geek, but not a full on superuser.
Other options I've read indicate to plug the external HDD directly into the new machine at first start up and use the Setup Assistant and transfer the info that way. Again however, I then have the issue of one of the names, I'd like changed.
While typing this I found.....
Each user in Mac OS X has a full "Name" and a "Short Name" as defined in the Users pane of System Preferences. The short name can contain up to 255 lowercase characters with no spaces. This is the name used to create a user's home directory (also known as the user's Home or Home folder) in the Users folder.
This is from ealier versions of the OS, so I am not even sure if this is Mavericks friendly or not.

Re: I changed my name, do I can change it in my profile?

No, I mean real name. Now Im Michael Volkov, can you change it?

I think you have to make any changes by editing your Apple ID. You could try this How to change the name you use for your Apple Id. I think this will explain what you need to do.
