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.

  • Changing the application name that appears on the web browser

    Hi All,
    Thanks in advance for taking your time to reply to this question.
    As a standard behavior, the WD application name in the project is displayed in the web browser the application is executed.  How can i show a more user friend name instead of the application name which typically is more cryptic.
    Eg: if my application name is TestWDApp, the title of the browser show TestWDApp when the application is run.
    Cheers

    Thanks a lot.

    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'

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

  • If I change the password for my icloud account will it also change my apple ID password?

    the two passwords are the same now - If I change my icloud password does that automatically change my apple ID password or do I have to change it seperately?

    If you change the password for your iCloud ID, you have to change it on any services you use the ID for on your device.  If you use the same ID for purchasing, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in using your new password.  If you use it for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.  If you use it for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    To change it for iCloud, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your new password.  When you delete the account it only deletes the account and your synced data from yor iPad, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your iPad when you sign back in.

  • Question about iCloud. How do I change my e-mail address, I have the wrong one and want to change it.

    question about iCloud.  How do I change my e-mail address, I got the wrong address.

    There are a variety of options available to you, including creating an email "alias" or changing the email address associated with your iCloud ID.
    For all practical purposes your iCloud email address and Apple ID are interchangeable. To change your Apple ID read Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.
    If you simply created an Apple ID in error, you might consider abandoning it altogether and creating a new one. On the other hand, if you already used that Apple ID to purchase iTunes or other digital content, don't create a new Apple ID, because any purchases you already made are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to make them.

  • How do you edit the template image that appears at the top only in portrait mode?

    I am using a customized version of the iBooks Author template which has the space image. I have replaced the images for the book cover, chapter and section. But I noticed that when you rotate the ipad to view the entire TOC, the original space image is still there. How can I edit the template image that appears at the top of the Table of Contents only when you rotate the ipad in portrait view?

    I just tried w/that template - switched to Portrait mode...tapped once to select that image....cut - gone. Switched to Landscape...not there. Back to portrait...still gone.
    What process did you use?
    Can you repeat your issue with a fresh book?

  • When I try to log into the app store to update apps or buy apps the user name that appears is an old one and it will not bring up the current user name/ email how do I stop that so that my current email show up ??

    When I try to log into the app store to update apps or buy apps the user name that appears is an old one and it will not bring up the current user name/ email how do I stop that so that my current email show up ??

    Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
    NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

  • How do I change the album artwork that appears on the front of a playlist?

    When I put playlists on my iPad the wrong album artwork appears on the front of them, sometimes not even containing the correct picture. is there any way to alter this?

    This needs to be fixed! The playlist artwork chosen seems random and doesn't relate to the contents of the playlist, and in my case is misleading (the same artwork for several playlists). I have a new iPad mini and the most recent version of iTunes. My ancient iPod nano is looking better all the time.

  • Can you turn off the location text that appears on the bottom left for links in Firefox 4?

    The text box that appears when you mouse over a link and it shows the location in the lower left. Can you turn that off? I find it annoying.

    it would even be nice if there were options to change the status text such as length of time of popup, on/off, similar to how an information bar is customized. what makes it so annoying is that is pops up and never goes away and if you hover over it then it goes to the other side of the browser

  • I forgot my password on icloud account. how can i change my icloud account if my e-mail account has been compromised?

    i forgot my icloud and e-mail account password. is there any possible way to change my icloud account?

    Hey there apolman,
    It sounds like you want to change your iCloud email address but cannot remember the password to do so. You should be able to reset the password for your account with this article:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Change your iCloud (Apple ID) password
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Open iCloud preferences.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode. If your device has iOS 5 or iOS 6, go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.)
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
