How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

It is possible he was incorrect.
> When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
> In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.
>
> You don't have to move to a new company to have new software or a new system.
>
> How many million participants does StackOverflow have? Size matters.
How many million participants have these forums?
At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
> Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

How to turn off receiving apple support communities emails

how to turn off receiving apple support communities emails on imac and ipad?

In addition ,you can go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
Also check the tutorial for managing email subscriptions
You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake.
Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question. Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community. Probably the community where you asked your question. Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.

Cannot post on Apple Support Communities

I have been denied posting on ASC many times. After going to the trouble of writing a post explaining a problem, I hit the POST btton and get the message
[ You are not allowed to create of update this content]
There is not cause specified or any remedy. Every time I have had to call Apple Support directly. That is frequently a waste of time, since the probem could be handled here.
Let’s see if this one gets through.

Did you take more than 30 minutes to craft your reply? No, no that's not allowed and the word is mum.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Start an auto reloader.
Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) .
I use Firefox and ReloadEvery.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reloadevery/
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

10.8.5 how to stop emails from Apple Support Communities?

My spam folder is full.

You're welcome and it's ok - I'm not doing this for points.......
For future threads, you should have a note below all posts (but your initial post) that you can hit a solved or helpful. I just realized: you didn't have your topic marked as a question, but as a discussion, so that's why you can't award any points.

Please advise me on how to unsubscribe from the Apple Support Communities.

Click here and turn off the email notifications. If you don't want them all turned off, go to each of the areas you want to unfollow and click the Following button at the top right corner; if you're running ad-blocking software, you may need to temporarily disable it.

Older post from apple support community delivered on gmail show in Mail App when new notification received

Hi all,
I am using Mail as a client to my Gmail account.
I am registered with such account to receive notification about new posts from Apple Support Communities on which I took part.
However when I receive a new mail notifications, I get a huge list of post, it basically seems the whole conversation.
Even if the grouping done by Mail App shows 1 message only, I can see lot of posts attached to the mail.
Apparently by deleting the group or the very latest mail, it deletes the whole conversation, but everytime a new mail arrives, the conversation shows again.
By doing a search for sender and subject on notification arrival, only one mail shows from the results.
When deleting the mail, the whole conversation gone from Mail App, did the search again with same criteria, and got 0 result.
Why this behavior ? Am I missing something ?

*I figured it out!*
Simple fix, here is what you do - open Mail v4.2 > Preferences
Select your Gmail account with this weird problem (I say select, cause in my situation I have multiple Gmail account setup but was having trouble with 1).
Then goto > Advanced tab
and then just type "/" (forward slash) - and then wait for a minute, it should fix it and allow to receive all the ghosts messages again - which apparently were visible under my online (web based) gmail.com's account also on my iPhone. You might see double messages, don't freak out like I did - Quit Mail v4.2 and restart that should go away as well, like in my case. Strange? Definitely
Anyways, hope this helps!

How to edit a post in Apple Support Comunities?

If I just posted something and saw it had typos. Is there any way to edit the post or remove it? I have searched all over for an option to edit my post and see none. I saw someone say that it was possible to edit within 15 minutes of making the post, but no mention of how to do that.

Not sure how fair it would be to leave the initial authorship content
open for editing too long after the thread was up, since that could
make replies to original content irrelevant, or discordant over time.
And people would be more reluctant to offer advice if the first topic
were to change; since nobody else can go back very far to change
the replies. Also, we'd not want to subscribe to a thread if the name
of it changed several times a week.

how things are done, usually a workable path...

How do I uncheck "This solved my question" on the Apple Support Communities forum?

I checked an answer as "this solved my problem" when it actually did not, and I don't want anyone to be mislead.
How do I uncheck "This solved my question" on the Apple Support Communities forum?

You can't uncheck it. You'll need to post the question again.
You could also just add the comment that it was not actually answered.

Dear apple support communities, how can i fix this problem? /users/ocha/.bashrc/bin:??

dear apple support communities, how can i fix this problem?
/users/ocha/.bashrc/bin:??
i have change the directory after i install GMT 5
but i was wrong and that are the result,.
please help me

or could you please tell me how to see if i have a back up? and how i can restore it?
If you do not know whether you have a backup or not, then you DO NOT have a backup. I'm assuming you have not been running Time Machine, nor any other backup utility.
and then i dont know what to write to get me into the right directory
Shell initialization files (.bash_profile, .bashrc, etc...) go in your home folder. The environment variable $HOME contains the path to your home folder. The commands I gave you will edit the file in the correct directory.
but i'm still new
Everyone has to start somewhere.
To give any editing advice, we need to know what you "REALLY" want to accomplish, especially if you have little or no command line knowledge.
Why are you in the Terminal in the first place?
Why are you trying to edit .bash_profile and/or .bashrc?
What do you hope to accomplish when everything is done?
If you are following someone else's instructions, what are they? Post them here, or give a simple pointer (and by simple, I mean we are volunteers, so we do not want to spend hours digging in some web site to find the instructions, so make our job easy, so we can make it easy for you).

How to Prevent Apple Support Communities from Sending Me Emails?

Hi,
How I can I prevent the Apple Support Communities website / tool from sending me emails?
I have disabled all emails in my profile settings (since about six months):
Still, Apple Support Communities keep sending me emails in increasing frequency:
(It is the same account / username / email, I have triple checked that.)
What options other than marking Apple as as spammer do I have left?
Cheers

Hi,
Thank you – that (hopefully) resolves the issue!
Note, that I came to Edit Preferences not through my Profile, but through the link in the "update emails" itself.
The link in the emails (see screeshot) reads: You are receiving this email from Apple Support Communities. You can change your email preferences in your Apple Support Communities Profile.
And the link leads to the "Edit Preferences" page (the "Manage Email Notifications" page is not visible / linked from "Edit Preferences")
According to common "unsubscribe" practices in emails, I would expect that an "unsubscribe"-type of link leads me to a page where I can unsubscribe from the type of email I just received (and not unsusbcribe from 'additional potential future' emails or whatever you would call it in that case).
Hence, this "unsubscribe" link in the email should either go to the Profile page, or the Manage Email Notifications (where I can actualy unsusbcribe), NOT to Edit Preferences.
Hope, someone from Apple reads the above...
( Personally, I think the idea to split between past and future threads is a bad design in the first place )

How to reset your user name on apple support communities?

If your dont remember your user name in the Apple Support Communities, how can you reset it?

Do you mean the ID you use as a login, rather than the name which appears here ('nunski')? Do you know what you last used to log in here? If not, go to Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access and see if it is listed under 'discussions.apple.com'
Since it's difficult to stay logged in here for any length of time, you must presumably have logged in in the not too distant past?
If Keychain doesn't help, go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find Your Apple ID'.
