How do I change the name that shows up for my email account . I don't want to change the email address, just my personal name that shows who the email is from.

Hi There
My apple account was in my partners name , I have now changed it to my name .
The problem is my icloud email still shows up his name at the beginning of my email address. eg Jo Blogg ( [email protected] ) .
When I open up Icloud in browser it shows in the top right my correct name , but when I go into Account settings on Mac in the Mail it shows up my
partners name as the Full Name associated with the account . It doesn't give you the option of changing that name though.
I hope I have explained this properly and someone can help ?
Cheers
Lizzeee

Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

  • HT4759 How does one request a refund for an iCloud account you don't want. There seems to be no easy way of doing so unless I pay 20 bucks to speak with someon

    I am a relatively new Apple user and I purchased an iCloud account in November and then another one in December, thinking that I needed an account for each of my devices (3).  When I found out this was the case I tried to reply to the email confirmation address for a refund and it came back as undeliverable. Tried to contact support but in order to talk to anybody I had to pay 20 dollars!! Why is it so hard to buy into it but oh so hard to get a refund?

    Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
    '''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

  • How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

    I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
    library for test purposes.
    How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
    This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
    and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
    By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
    is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
    I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
    Labview Version: 7.1 Base
    TestStand: 3.1
    It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
    Thanks a lot.
    Andre

    I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
    The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
    I hope that this helps,

  • How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
    It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

    You asked...
    quote:
    Is there a way to shrink the application you're capturing so it
    fits within a given capture window rather than requiring scrolling,
    or would I have to go back to the application developers for that?
    (I realize that would shrink the size of everything on the screen,
    but in some cases, that would be worth it to be able to show a
    window without scrolling.
    If, by "shrink" ... you mean by using the AppSizer, the
    answer is "not really". You can configure AppSizer to a defined
    size, then with the mouse pointer double-arrowed on the "edge" of a
    window, right-click and your window-size selections will appear in
    the AppSizer "list" (that you set up) and can be selected there.
    But there is no re-scaling of the window contents, if that is
    what you mean, so the smaller window may now require scrolling.
    But keep in mind that if you use the recording option for
    "Software Simulation" > "Custom Size", you can then snap the
    application window to that size...

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.
