How can I change the name associated with an email address?

I assumed an existing account but would like to change the tag name associated with it. Right now it is still showing up as a colleague's name.

Hi Rossion,
Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation. There should be a settings menu that allows you to change your personal account information.
Hopefully this helps!

How do I change the name associated with my email account on my PC?

My mothers name is what appears when I send emails instead of mine. I have found directions on how to change the name on a Mac but I have a PC. It is rather frustrating because I send out business emails and often times the receiver does not look at my signature block but instead replies to me addressing me by her name.

By that you mean you log into the iCloud.com website? Or are you using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
If you log into iCloud.com in your web browse, What name Appears at the top right corner when in Mail?
If you use an email client which one?

How do i change the name associated with my icloud

how do i change the name associated with my icloud

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??

I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want. If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>. Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association.
It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser. If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]> And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac. That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses. Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.

How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

OK I am sure that this is a common issue. Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch. She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age. A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone. All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality. She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address. My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her." That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with. She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased. And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place. As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!

How do I change the names associated with numbers on my bill

I have multiple numbers on my bill that have the wrong names associated with them. I have tried calling *611 only to wait and then be disconnected. I am the account owner and am unable to locate where to correct the information.

Online, in My Verizon / View Usage / Minutes / Breakdown of Recent Activity / Current Call Log for Line / Select a Line, a log of calls incoming and outgoing since the last billing date are shown. For years, I would be able to click on the blue telephone number and a popup box would show up to Add/Update Nick Name. I would type in a name, for example, Mom and then click on Add/Update and the name would then replace the number in the listing. As of two months ago, I can still do this EXCEPT the name will NOT replace the number! This is so irritating as I have been assning names to the numbers for years for ease of search and identifying the calls. I have call ed Customer Servcie at least htree times on this issue. I have tried to Add/Edit Nick Name in two odfferent browsers (Internet Explorer as well as Firefox) and I have tried it on two dofferent laptops in two diofferent wireless networks. So I know it is NOT an issue with my hardware or networks. The issue is on Verizon's end. I am puzzled that others have not complained. Maybe I am the only doofud that likes to assign names to the numbers? But I would be most grateful if someone within the Community or Verizon's Customer Servcie can resolve this issue once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I change the iCloud associated with my iPhone when the email account no longer exists?

My mum had the iPhone that I'm now using for a couple of years, and the iCloud account attached to it uses an email address that was shut down by Virgin, so we can't access it any more to verify emails, etc.
Now that I'm using it, I want to assign it to my ID or even reset it, but the password my mum is certain she used won't be accepted. I looked around the community and tried to change her iCloud settings online to the old email address and then delete the iCloud on my iPhone using the new password for the new ID she now has, but it won't seem to accept any password.
Is there any way at all I can do this, or will I have to get a Genius appointment or something?
Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hi:
Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
This will drop down, and give you options.
Select User Settings.
This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

How can I change the iCloud setting to my email address. I can't log out of the previous owners email I'd without his password

I have my sons old iPhone. iCloud is still under his email address. I can't close it and re start without his password. If I put his password in I am worried it will delete all his backup. Any suggestions?

Not completely clear on what you are trying to do, but I will take a shot.
1. If you do not want to continue using your son's account on the old phone, factory reset it and set it up with your Apple ID. It will be like you have a new phone.
1. To prevent a problem with your son's backup, connect the newly-reset phone to the computer and cancel the sync immediately. Rename the old iPhone immediately and you will not have to worry about messing up your son's backup.
I hope this helps.

How can I change the action associated with the Retake Quiz button on the Results page?

The button takes you back to the first quiz slide, which would be good except my quiz is based on the scenario on the preceding screen. I want the retake to go back to the Scenario slide.

Which version do you use?
The solution by Firas101 was certainly necessary to extend the quiz scope in former versions, but has the disadvantage that the score of that button will be included in the total score and taken into account to calculate the system variables shown in the Score Slide.
