How do I change the owner's name for all Apple/iTunes/iCloud applications?

The name for my iPhone device and all Apple related things I log into, the owner name is my father's name -- however, since it is my device and my phone and I use all relating applications, I would like for it to be underneath my name. How do I change the overall name for my entire Apple account?

Go to system preferences and the sharing tab, then change the "computer name".
That's not a problem for anything.
If you had links from the other computer in the name.local format, you'll just need to update them.

How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE OWNER'S NAME ON MY MACS?

After migrating a MacBook Pro system to a Mac Pro, I´ve the same name on both computers. That´s a problems for Mobile Me, sharing, etc. Is it possible to change both (I need just one, but I want to change both) computer´s names?

What are the implications of that change (if possible) for Mobile Me, Sharing, Printers, Scanner, External HDD, Applications, etc. Do I need to operate other changes in order to prevent problems?

How do I change the author's name for comments in Pages?

I am a long time Microsoft Word user and am currently testing out Pages for the first time.
Something that is extremely vital to me in my line of work is the ability to track changes and add comments to the documents.
I have found how to do this in Pages with ease, but when it initially asked me whether I wanted to allow Pages to access my comments I had the thought "why do you need to access that?" and denied it. I then clicked past the option to change the name by mistake.
Since then I have not been able to find any way to reverse what I have done, the best I can find is to change the colour that I am commenting with. I want my comments to have my name rather than "author".
If someone knows how to change this can you please let me know.
Thanks

Never mind, after spending ages seaching I finally found it.
For those that may be interested, it can be changed in the under Pages > Preferences
Thanks

How do i change the HTML file names for existing index

Hi,
How do i change my existing HTML file names for indexes. The Html file name is disabled when we click on properties.
Ex: Index Keywork : Architecture
Old HTML Page/URL =: Architecture.htm
I want to change Old HTML Page/URL =: Architecture.htm to architecture_new.htm
Please find the screenshot attached.

That's because you are looking at the Properties and that is not how you create index entries.
Highlight the Index keyword ("Paste" in this example). It shows below what is already linked. If you delete that, the keyword will be displayed in bold to show no keyword is attached. You can add further keywords by dragging them from the Topic List.

How can I change the email I use for my Apple ID

I deleted my email account because it got hacked and I want to change my Apple ID email

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

How do you change the email address associated with your apple id

how do you change the email address used for your apple Id I have tried going on managing apple Id and it isn't working

Just where are you going?
and what do you see? A screen shot with personal info redacted would be great.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
Click on Users & Groups
If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

How can I change the OWNER of a table?

How can I change the OWNER of a table entr2009mm ?
Resp. the OWNER of all TABLES whose tablename match the pattern *2009* ?
Peter

Hello,
There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
