Changing my full name

Hello,
Several years ago I registered for an Apple ID with the name "XYZ". Since then, I have changed it to be "ABC" in my Apple ID configuration page, and it's indeed been updated.
Currently I'm trying to register for an iOS dev program, but it appears that in the "Full Name" box there is "XYZ" again, without any option to change it.
I tried to contact the iTunes Store Support, but this issue falls outside their specialty.
How can I change my "Full Name" to be "ABC"?
Thanks!

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • How to change my 'full name' in Mail on iPhone?

    I use a me.com address and iCloud. I successfully changed my full name in Mail on my Mac, but won't show up on mail sent from phone.

    Ah, after endless searching, this popped up in "More like this" right after I posted:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar> Select the email account with the issue and go into the Account Info area. In the Name field enter your full name.
    Looks like it has to be changed locally on the phone. Thanks!

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

    How do I change my Full Name on my mail account? I want to change from John Francis Woods to Francis Woods on all my .mac, .me and .iCloud mails.

    I have asked the hosts to consider editing out your name details for your own security.   I'm not sure what you should now do.    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'

    Go to icloud.com >> mail >> gear in the upper right >> preferences >> accounts.  You can change it there.  In my testing, I had to close and reopen my mail.app for it to take affect.

  • Can't Change Account Full Name

    In System Prefs > Users & Groups,
    The text entry field to change the User's Full Name is no longer there.  Does anyone know how to change the User's Full Name? in OS 10.10?
    At the moment, my user full name is "Philip's MacPro".  Before the upgrade it was just my first and last name.  Don't know how I managed to change it but I want to change it back.  Any ideas?

    Many thanks!  That did the trick

  • Can you change the "Full Name" of a BO account

    We have a user who has changed their surname. We can rename the Account Name but the Full Name is greyed out and I cna't see anyway I can change this.
    How have you handled such name changes (it may even apply if you have setup an account name and made a spelling error).
    With thanks
    Gill

    Gill,
          Looks like your CMS is integrated with some sort of 3rd party security like LDAP, AD &/or SAP.  If you want the option to change/update users FULL name then you must un-check that option.
    See example for SAP Integration where the FULL Name, Email setting are NOT being imported over from SAP.

    Ajay

  • Smtp - change my full name when i send an email

    How do i get to change my name (my full name): When i send now an email the people who get my email see the adres of my email, but also my Full Name.
    I understand that this i sthe name that i have typed in when i activted the icloud account and this is the name that people see when they get an email from me. But how can i change this?
    I logged in on my profile, and changed my name, but still my earlier name is there to see. And i don't want that. (no, i have nothing to hide )

    This might work.  I had the same problem in Mail on my iMac.
    FIrst, login to www.icloud.com.  If your name is right on iCloud, open Mail in the iCloud window and click on the gear icon (prefeences)  You can fix your name there.  On the iMac, I had to wait a few minutes, quit and restart Mail, and check preferences.  Then on starting a new message, there was a pulldown under "From", that I used to select the one with my correct name and correct email address.  I just deleted that blank email, and others since then default to the correct name.
    Don't know if this will work for mail sent from the iPhone, but once the Cloud Mail is corrected, hopefully it will do the trick.

  • Disable changing accounts 'Full Name' field

    Just wondering how to disable users from changing their AD accounts 'Full name' field in the Users & Groups preferences.
    We need there mac account name it to be their actual Active Directory name but right now they can change it to anything they want, including Emoji characters which can't be read on anything else.
    /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/username.plist
    This has the key of RealName which is the name they can change from System Preferences.
    Is there a way to stop them changing the name?

  • I changed the full name for a user even though there was a warning that said it might cause problems logging in. This prompted a restart, and now when I login, the progress bar loads ¼ of the way, and then my macbook pro shuts down. He

    I have also tried disk verification and repair as well as attempting to re-install Yosemite 10.10 on OS X Utilites.

    I can't actually re-install Yosemite. An error message pops up after I sign into the app store.

  • 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.)

  • Change FULL NAME in account information section?

    How do I change my full name under the account information section

    I had the same question, and found the answer here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57509815-263/how-to-change-your-icloud-mail -full-name/
    Basically,
    Log into icloud.com
    Click on the Mail icon
    Click on the Settings gear (top right), and pick "Preferences..."
    Click on Accounts
    Edit the Full Name
    Click Done
    The change should automatically propagate to your OS X machines and iOS devices.
