How can I edit author name in my podcast after publishing...now it shows "unknown"

How can I edit author name in my podcast after publishing...now it shows "unknown"...thanks a lot for help^^

The author's name is carried in the 'itunes:author' tag. You will need to enter it in the appropriate field in whatever program or online service you are using to make your podcast.

Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

How do you edit the names that come up when you compose a new message?

i open mail and hit 'new message'.
then i click in the 'To' row and start to type a name.
it autofills names for me as i type, but where does it get the names from? and how can i edit that list ?
- e.g. my wife has changed her e-mail address. i already changed it in my address book. but the old address still appears...?
i've tried scrolling down to it so it goes blue, then hitting the delete key (like on a pc). no joy.
any advice?!
thanks in advance

Hi it's probably appearing from your Previous Recipients List...
In Mail Click on Window... Select and Click on Previous Recipients...
Click on and Delete the Names and Addresses you no longer want...
Cheers,

How do I edit a name on Ichat?

When I added a name to Ichat it was the wrong name. I would like to edit the name, but I don't see a way to do that. I would appreciate anyone help.
Thank you in advance,
Walter

Hi,
I must admit I tend to run some Contacts and Buddies with multiple Cards (Various and variation on real names)
so that I keep some email separate for iChat or Screen Names separate.
We found early on you could add several Screen Names to one Address Book Card and iChat would show the person as On line if they were logged in. This could be AIM Express or similar with one of those names when in fact they could not chat.
Another point of confusion is that fact that some @mac.com names are not in fact Emails (And with the exception of Google and Facebook most Jabber IDs are not either).
Certianly for the Apple type names the Address Book will put them in the Email Section rather than the Screen Name/IM service name spot and can lead to the need to move them about. (If they are not going to be emails that Mail can use).
At present I am having issues syncing the template I am trying in the Address Book on my Mac with that in my Phone.
It has reverted all contacts back to the one on the phone.
I am expecting that when I have sorted this and then restarted it my be picked up by Messages so I can see the titles I have put in the Template (iMessage, Facetime as Custom for email Home and Work)
I do have one buddy at least at the moment how has several email they use only one of which I know to be a Valid ID they use in iMessage/FaceTime (And in fact not for mail)
But their plain email that is email only shows up as a possible iMessage contact in Contacts in Messages.
As this Buddy already has 3 cards to keep other test account separate I am reluctant to create more.
I expect we may have to create Groups within the Address Book for iMessage names as at present Messages does not give them a separate "Buddy list"
At present I can not see a way around this.

How do I edit the name of a Bookmarks Toolbar folder?

I want to change the name of a folder in my Bookmarks Toolbar. I tried opening the 'show all bookmarks', then clicking Bookmarks Toolbar, and then clicking once on the present name with hopes it would allow me to edit it. But it didn't work.

You need to open the Bookmarks Toolbar folder in the left pane in the Library.<br />
Then you can select (highlight) that folder in the right pane and edit the name in the Details pane at the bottom of the right pane.

Company is merging with another company. How do I add other company's Bonjour/Messenger buddy list to our company's Bonjour/Messenger buddy list?

So the company I work for is merging with another company. Our company already has an internal Bonjour/Messages set up so that we can all communicate to each other. The company that we're merging with has the same.
How do I merge their Bonjour/Messenger Buddy List with our Bonjour/Messenger Buddy List so it's all in one list?
Much thanks!!!

Hi,
It will depend how and where the other computers are.
Broadly speaking any Mac computer on the same LAN using iChat or Messages with the Bonjour account enabled will see all the other Macs (The app reads the computer User's Contacts App (Address Book) My Card and broadcasts the name)
This works up to the point you go beyond 255 computers or devices.
The router will have one IP allowing for 255 devices to be connected.
To state this another way.
The Bonjour account in Messages or iChat is a self connecting, self populating Buddy list.
Your Name is read from the Address Book on older systems or the Contacts app in Mountain Lion and above at the one called the My Card and this is broadcast as your "Screen Name".
You see the names in the Buddy list that correspond to other peoples My Card.
On this iMac I am using I am "Ralph Johns"
On my G4 tower I am "Ralph G4" and on my laptop I am "Ralph MacBook Pro"
This means if I hook up the three using Bonjour I know which is which.
(As an aside this also allows me to separate them out on AIM and Jabber lists as well as I have the My Card for this computer and Address Cards for each others)

New Mac -Mountain Lion - Messages- Empty buddy list

Hi Everyone,
Got a new Macbook air that I updated straigt to Mountain Lion before opening any software.
Everything is syncked happily under the Icloud, but with "Messages" replacing Ichat, I endup with an empty Buddy list.
Any reason why AIM and .Mac buddys are not imported ?
Thanks
Sophia

Hi,
IN the Window menu do you have an item for "Buddies" with the CMD + 1 keystrokes listed ?
IF so go to Messages > Preferences > General section and untick the item that Gathers the "Accounts" to one list.
Now from the Window Menu you should have individual CMD + # keystrokes listed fro as many Account (Screen Names and IDs) as are logged in.
Can you see them ?

How do I add a googlemail user onto my buddy list on my ichat?

I bought my macbook a few weeks ago and, while I adore it to bits so far, I seem to have a bit of a problem with ichat (version 4.0.6). I tried to add my friend who uses a googlemail account (with jabber) onto my buddy list in ichat but, according to ichat, it seems that it only accepts mac.com, aim and mobile me account holders. So that was no good so I tried it on adium and I got it ok but for some reason, I cant see him online nor can he see me online. I logged out of adium and logged back into ichat and there it was his username there with googlemail.com but still cant reach him even though I said a couple of lines to check. Im stuck! Any idea how to add googlemail users onto buddy list on ichat?

How do I edit my name/alias in profile??

My name contains the letters Æ (æ) and Ø (ø) [Norwegian], and after I registered my account these letters came out as ? and ? in my alias; ¨ and É in my profile name. My alias looks really stupid as " B?rre S?thre ", and my name looks no better: " B¨rre SÉthre "..
I have read everything about how and why Apple Discussion no longer allow users to edit name/alias, but as long as the discussion SW can´t deal with language differences, there has to be room for some exceptions.
Æ Ø Å works perfectly well on any Mac out there, and I see no reason why it shouldn´t be possible to make this work in Apple Discussion.
I know that Spanish natives in here had a similar problem.
If anyone from Apple is in here and reading this, can you P L E A S E work out a fix - or maybe at least tell me what to do or where to call/email to get my name/alias right..?
I know this is probably not on top of the priority list, but it is stupid and annoying, and seems like such an easy thing to fix. How would you guys like to be called J¨hn StÉphen$Én, Br?*n Sm´th or ScØtt McD¨nnÆll ?
Any input appreciated !
regards, Børre Sæthre - ( or BØRRE SÆTHRE, if you prefer capital letters

Hi mgguy!
You can make changes to your Discussions ID here My Info. But you can't change your Alias.
Although you can't change the Alias of the account you are using, you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing.
But your Level(0), Points(0), Total Posts(2), Total Posts Online(2) and Registered Date(11/12/06), will not be transferred.
In the new account, your Post Counts, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old Alias.
After you quit using the old account, those posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.
The Topics that you started using the old account, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:
Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias
all of your posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
But you only have two posts, so this shouldn't be a factor for you.
To create a new account,
Log out of Discussions. You also may have to delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences, but I'm not sure this is necessary. Then follow either of these instructions.
-How Do I Create My Account?
If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.
-To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.
Those instructions, and more info, can also be viewed by clicking on ?Help & Terms of Use, in the right column of Discussions pages.

Is there anyway to edit the names of the Variables/Tags listed in the .IAK file

I have an .IAK file that has several (about 130) different fieldpoint devices in it and each device has about 90 variables names listed. I have modified all the names in order to shorten them and standardize/nomalize the variable names. I would like to be able to just rename the variables in the IAK file, instead of going to each device, connect, 'find devices' in MAX, Save the IAK File (which takes about 10min each) and then drive to the next device and repeat the process 130 times. I've seen programs that let you view the IAK file, just wondering if the IAK can be edited programmatically.

The reason is the IAK file has ALL 130+ fieldpoint devices listed, with approx 85 tags per FP, and I have to get the tag information from each site, then I have to copy that file to the server and reload the server. If (like what happened yesterday) there is a problem saving the .IAK file or the .IAK file gets corrupted, I have to go back to ALL 130+ FP devices and get the information again. Also, with that many FP stations in the IAK file, it takes a considerable amount of time per save (approx 10min). On the server, I get the data from these FP devices through OPC that uses the .IAK file. It's really not an idea situation, but it's what I have to work with.
If it can't be done, it can't be done. I would think that the file has to be saved in some format, granted probably some proprietary NI format, but if I knew the format, I could write a program to edit it, unless it's also compressed in some propritary NI format.

How do you delete the name of a new reminder list, not the list items themselves

If you create a new reminder list, you can give the list a name. When all of the items on the list are completed or deleted, how do you them remove the name of the reminder list?

Thank you, but I guess the recommendations aren't quite good enough! I don't know if anything in this troubleshooting support article will help. But there is a section in it for iOS devices. It doesn't specifically talk about deleting reminder names, but perhaps if you try refreshing the reminders as described, that might eliminate this problem
Here is the support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000
There is one other thing that might work and that is to reset all settings on your iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You won't lose any data, but it does take a while to get all of your device settings back to where they were since this will return all of the device settings back to their out of the box condition ..default wallpaper, brightness, Siri, Privacy, Location Servces and so on.
