How do i change my name on icloud?

I need help changing the name that appears on my iCloud account. It has my husband's name because he set it up and stupidly typed his own name rather than mine. My icloud email has my name in the email address, but says it comes from him. It says MATTHEW SMITH (mary.smith @iCloud.com)
How can I change it? I just want my messages to show that they're coming from me!

Thank you Roger! I felt bad about that but couldn't delete the entire message.
I believe I finally found the answer - I logged into our apple ID on the computer and changed the name on the account from there. When I tried to do it from my iPhone or iPad, it reverted back to the name on the account. Hopefully this will help others with the same problem. People get married and divorced and change their names all the time, so I knew it had to be possible!

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.

Here's the problem. I've been using the same itunes account for years. It's on my girlfriends name.
Since I've been using my macbook pro for my company, everythime I send an ical invitation to someone they see her name instead of my name.
So my question is:

You could set up a new account in "Settings > iCloud" and use that for email and calendar (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's the iCloud email address that is incorrect, you cannot change it. If it's a non iCloud address, you can change it at My Apple ID

MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts. You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i correct my name on icloud

How can I Correct my name from icloud?

You can't change it there. You have to delete the account and set up a new one. When you delete you lose access to the data you saved there under that account. I think option appears to save data to the phone when you delete the icloud account

Can I change my name on iCloud email?

I have iCloud email address that is my name before getting married. How can I change my name to show my new name or can I create another email address to use that name?

Answer: You cannot change an iCloud.com email once it's created (there is a little warning that tells you this when you set it up initially).
What other options do you have?
1) Create a new Apple ID account (least recommended option). This will make a whole new account and any purchases or money you spent of have on your current account will not be on the new account. Therefore, you would have to continue to use two Apple IDs or give up the old account as they cannot be merged.
2) Create an email alias. (most recommended). Although you will still log into your iCloud with the same Apple ID you currently use, an alias will allow you to send and receive emails using the alias but will still come through your normal icloud email since you can't change it.
Create or change email aliases: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622
Good Luck!

How can I change the names of catagories that have been added to my music library? Is it possible to change names or artists or gendre and how to do it?

How do I change the names of artists or gendre in the itunes list after importing an album? Is it posssible to change that information?

Yes. Select one or more tracks (use ctrl or shift clicks to add/remove or extend a selection) then right-click or press CTRL-I to Get Info. Use the different tabs of the dialog to make changes.
For general advice on getting things neat & tidy see my article on Grouping tracks into albums.

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController? I want to be able to change the title of an item if I added one. Code:
// ViewController.m
// Movie List
// Created by Damian on 20/02/15.
// Copyright (c) 2015 Tika Software. All rights reserved.
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
These outlets to the buttons use a `strong` reference instead of `weak` because we want

Hey JB001,
Sounds like you have more going on than just a simple issue with Home Sharing and more dealing with Wi-Fi syncing. Start with the article below and see if that may resolve it.
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing

If it does not work out, then may I suggest contacting Apple for further assistance to walk you through it or just take that time that you were talking about to sort it out.

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

How do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID?

My kids and I have been sharing the same apple ID and icloud ID so updates mess up all our phones cause eveyones info gets put together then downloaded onto each phone. So I want to make a seperate account for each of us so our stuff stays on the right phone. So how do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID and any other ID's without losing anything?

you can make separate ids, however purchases only follow original ids. sounds like you need to turn off auto downloads in settings - itunes and app store. now you can create separate icloud accounts, but in itunes you will have to repurchase the things you want on those devices.
Peace, Clyde

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.
