Changing App's name

Is there a way to change the name of an app, or remove the app name so that only the icon shows?
Some of the apps have names that are way too long, and they show up as something like "BBCNe...ional." I don't mind if it fits but it looks kinda annoying (I know, I'm being anal).

I always try to name my apps something short so it shows up right, but it isn't enforced or anything. Completely up to the developer.

  • Any app allow to change app's name?

    I have looking for it, some of the app name too long. How do i able to rename it?

    This means the apps are unofficial and requires hacking the iPhone to install and use them. There have been reports about malware being included with unofficial software downloaded and installed from unknown and untrusted sources with a hacked iPhone. You are certainly accustomed to constant virus, adware, and malware concerns with Windows, but not worth it to me to change the name of an iPhone app which may render an official app unusable.

  • Changing app names

    Any way to change apps names?

    No.  You can put them in folders and name the folders as you like, but the app's developer names the app.

  • Change app names

    I was looking at my apps and discovered some games with names in
    oriental characters.  
    I found out that these apps are named "InvisMazeFree" and "GoldMiner",
    by finding them in the Finder.  (or by telling my device to delete
    them from the device).   I also found an app "Routes", that I can't find with Search - because Search (and the file name) finds "Rutas".
    I did a "get info" on them in iTunes, but the names are
    write-protected.   I'd like to change their names on the iPad, so
    people can search for them without knowing which folder they are in.
    A similar issue is having a book app "Best of Sherlock Holmes", being categorized as "business".   I'd like to correct that as well.
    I'll check to see if my grandchildren play with these, and if not,
    delete them.   But other than deleting them, am I stuck with these app
    names?

    You cannot change app names, so, like you said, you can either keep them as they are, or delete them.

  • Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

    I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
    Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
    I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
    Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
    Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

    I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Can't update apps after name change.

    I just recently changed my iTunes name. I made sure I logged in with it on my computer and did so with no problem. Now I also updated that info on my iPhone 4. I can buy apps with no problem whatsoever, however when I try to update my apps from the app store via iPhone, it keeps asking for the password to my old username and not my new one. Even of I did enter the password for it, it says that it is incorrect. How can I get my phone to recognize my new username for updates. Remember, there is no problem when buying the apps. It asks for the pass to the correct name.

    You will have to call 1-800-MY-APPLE for a resolution. Apple will be able to consolidate the two accounts, but it can only be done over the phone. It's under the [FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37] section for Apple ID's.

  • How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running )OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps

    How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps?

    Hi jprohask63,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article. 
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

    The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

    It is popping up because you have apps installed that you bought with the old AppleID, you can either delete those apps or buy the apps again using your new Apple ID, if they were free apps then not a big deal, paid apps obviously means you would have to buy them twice.

  • Does installation of Server.app 3.1.1 on Mavericks change the OS Name?

    Does installation of Server.app 3.1.1 on Mavericks change the OS Name as seen in sw_vers?

    Suggestion, if somebody hasn't already tested this: Might want to follow the removal instructions for Server.app (see Help > Removing Serfver) and confirm whether that .ServerSetupDone file does or does not continue to exist, before you bet on that as the detection path.

    Larry's right, You can still use your credit card, you just need to change the "billing address" to the recievers address. It gets billed to your CC and delivered to the US

  • Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

    I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

    Hi CaliWingsFan,
    If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I change a State name in iphoto map?

    A few months ago, changing a location of a group of photos, I really changed a state name.
    The image shows the name State "Casa David i Mireia" where should say "Catalunya" that is the real name.
    How can I change that name. I have opened a case in Apple Support, but the solution to reinstal the app have not worked for me.
    Thank you for your help
    Jordi

    Thanks for your help!
    The problem is that I think that I changed the "default" name for the state where the photos were taken. I have 50 differents locations, that are all correct, and photo per photo, I can modify the original location, but only at "local" level.
    How can I change the name displayed in State section as "Casa David i Mireia" for "Catalunya" that is the real name for the State where the photos where taken?
    I don't if this post is comprehensive. I'm not sure.
    Thanks for your time!

  • How can I change the file name of an mp3 file to it's ID3 name?

    I prefer to alter the ID3 names of my music files to include: ARTIST - Track number - Tune Name. I do this in iTunes, by individually selecting each file, and Apple+I, then change the INFO/NAME tag.
    But the same file has a file name and an ID3 name then.
    Is there any script or APP that will allow me to BATCH convert all music file names to the ID3 name?

    > Do you have iTunes prefs > Advanced - Copy files to iTunes

    > (With above checked, when you add to iTunes, it makes a copy

    Yes, how do you think they get there if I double click them in finder and list themselves and start playing in iTunes?
    > You are looking at the file in iTunes not the original file
    > (which is not in iTunes) correct?
    I have talked about both if you will read the thread.
    > In iTunes, right click Show in Finder
    Read the thread carefully, you are missing something.
    > Uncheck Keep iTunes media folder organized,
    > then click OK. Then go back and recheck it.
    Has no effect whatsoever.

  • How to change data source name and context root during deployment

    Hi,
    Env:
    WLS 10.1.3
    JDev 11.1.1.6
    Hudson
    I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
    Kuba

    I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
    Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
    Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

  • How do I change the document name on my iPad after editing it?

    I have forms to fill multiple time for different projects!  On the iPad, I can not tell if they are different because I can't see the changes when saved to iBook or emailed. Do I have to wait until I'm at me PC, if yes the iPad and your app are useless!

    You can change the document name before editing it, using the Duplicate feature.  You can do this in the File Manager by going into ‘Edit’ mode, selecting the file, and choosing Duplicate option.
    Adobe Reader currently does not support saving a copy of a file after changes are made to it (and not yet saved in the original).  This is a feature we would consider for a future update.
    Thanks for your feedback.
