How do I change an email "Account Name" on my iphone.

Hello everyone,
My question is how do I change an account name in my iPhone? I have just added another separate gmail account, which makes a total of 4 email accounts on my phone. On the first 3 accounts, the name of the account is the email address. The final account (gmail) I just added today, the name of it just says "gmail". How do I change this so it shows up in my iPhone as either the address the account is connected to, OR, give it a name I create?
When I set up the account it asked me for a name for it, and I gave it one, but it does not show up either under "inboxes" or "accounts" It just simply says "gmail" How can I change that?
Also, is there a way to give an account a name other than the email address for the other 3 existing accounts?
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
KPJ

THANK YOU!!! If it was a snake it would have bit me. Seems kind of counter intuitive to have the description be the name of the account that shows up on the phone. You'd think that it would be called "account name". Anyway, Thank you very much!

How can I change my email account name to my alias?

The Verizon email address all my friends, family, and business associates have used for more than 8 years (Jxx Sxxxx) turns out to be an alias. My primary account name seems to be JSxxxx. I recently changed to high speed enhanced and these things happened:
Outlook, where I receive my email, continues to receive all mail addressed to Jxx Sxxxx, just as it always has. If I compose a new email or hit the reply button, my outgoing emails SHOULD show up in the recipient's mailbox as Jxx Sxxxxx. Instead, they appear with the sender name Mxx Sxxxx (the name of my husband, the account owner). I need my own name back in order to get my emails read by business associates and others who don't know who Mxx Sxxxx is.
In addition, only email addressed to JSxxxx comes to my regular Verizon account (accessed at webmail.verizon.net). NO email addressed to Jxx Sxxxx comes to that account, which means that if I am away from my computer I cannot access my email at all.
How can I change my so-called account name to my alias without losing all the emails in my Outlook account? That is, how can I get rid of my primary account name, and substitute my alias?

How do I change my iCloud account name on my iPhone?

I recently changed my Apple ID while my phone was out being repaired. I've just got it back and restored it from the backup on my computer. Now it won't let me change my Apple ID. It's being ******** and won't let me change the iCloud Account to my new email address and just keeps the old one. Whenever I enter the password for this account it tells me it's wrong. Seriously how many more issues do Apple have to throw at me?

Thanks Chris, i'm trying to restore my new phone
Will that still work?
I backed up my phone this morning on icloud and updated my account name at the same time

How do I change the iCloud account name?

Do you mean the username? The part before the @ in your iCloud email address?
If so, you can't change it. You can setup a completely new iCloud account under a different AppleID, or you can setup an email alias to your current iCloud account.

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

How do I change an email account that is backed up to iCloud?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll normally be most likely to get help with general iTunes and iTunes Store issues if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Answering quickly, though, this is a question you probably should ask of Apple through your iTunes Connect account. These are user-to-user technical support forums, so not many content providers who might know the specifics of the process participate here.

HT3965 how do i change the iCloud account information on my iPhone?

How do i change the iCloud Account information for an iphone. I set up my wifes iPhone and my phone with the same iCloud Account name name. Later, i added another phone on my ATT account for my mother, but made an Apple iCloud Account in her name. Now, to use the find my iphone feature, i need to change her iCloud account user name to be the same as mine. How do I change that?

You dont need to change the iCloud account to use that feature, when you use find my iPhone all you would need to do is sign into her iCloud account to locate her iPhone.
If you want to change the account used on the iPhone for iCloud then go to settings>icloud and select the option at th bottom that says "delete account" then select "keep on my iphone". After that you then sign in with your iCloud account.

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

EA4500 - How do I change the email account the router is associated with in Cisco Connect Cloud?

I have an EA4500 runnign the latest firmware that supports the Cisco Connerct Cloud and I need to change the email account the router is associated with. How do I do this? (Online Help does not explain.)

We plan to deploy over 350 of these routers across the country. In our situation, it would not make sense to associate all these routers with one email account or even, at the other extreme, a separate email account for each router. In addition, you have created a management nightmare for us if we pursue this option, because anytime we need to make a change to the email account associated with the router, we would need to re-configure it manually. We need to manage these routers separately and outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud option. I understand that I can downgrade the firmware to the prior release, but this is a temporary fix (eventually security vulnerabilities will be discovered that will force a firmware upgrade - in fact, you have already had one) and I would like to request an option to manage the router outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud email associations. Will this be possible in the near future? Otherwise, we will need to consider another vendor for this project.
Hopefully this should be possible in the future.
I believe that I can make it
