How to change display name in iMessage?

My son has an iPod that's using iMessage to text. When he text to my phone, it has my name as the display name and not his. How can I change this so it can display his name instead of mine?
I am using my iCloud account on this iPod, not sure if it has anything to do with it.

Very easy
Do you mean you want their name to display when you ipad imessages your iphone?
2 ways to do it
You can either add another contact and call it iPad Message for instance and just add your iMessage email in there.
Or
If its another persons phone they simply need to add the same email address into your contact on their phone.
I dont think its possible to not display your email address mind you if you are not already added at all in their contacts, i.e if you're imessaging an aquantaince and not a close friend via iMessage.
iMessage i designed for more personal use between friends and family unless you dont mind sharing your email address.
Why not just add another email address in iMessage to use if you're worried?

How to change "jabber"name from iMessage on Mac?

I am using only 2 account . One Gmail Account Id and other is Apple ID . I am not using any Jabber ID.
Still My iMessage is showing a Jabber name in left Pane downside.
My description of Apple Id is Gaurav Dubey and for Gmail ID is Google . Still Not able to change the name . Any Help would be appericated
Is There anyway to change that "jabber" name without removing any account

Hi,
In the Messages app you can use your Apple Id with the iMessages account
You can remove the Apple ID from the set up but you cannot actually delete the iMessage account.
The same is true of the Bonjour account (it can be Enabled or not but not deleted)
You can also Add accounts using the Plus icon below the list.
This now list a generic "AIM" line used for Apple IDs that are also Valid AIM Screen Names as well as names registered at AIM.
Then at the bottom is the Yahoo option.
In between are the Jabber options of which Googletalk is one.
So at this point if you have added a Google ID you will list in the Account preferences:-
iMessages
Bonjour
Google
The Google one will have a description field.
This is the account ID by default.
Howerver as it is the only Jabber account the Window Menu is likely to list it as "Jabber" and this is also likely to appear at the bottom left of the Main Messages window and in the text field when chatting to Buddies.
Changing this Description (deleting it) defaults to the ID itself.
Although in some places it automatically shows as Google Talk
In iChat 3 though 5 if you had one AIM account and one Jabber Account logged in and had not changed the default Description then the Window Menu would list "AIM" Buddy List and "Jabber" Buddy List even if it was Google.
As I have had descriptions for some time it appears the app is remembering some of these for accounts where I delete the Description and then log the account in.
I am sure that is a fresh set up with less accounts my Google one would get listed as Jabber in some places.

Azmathulla,
It is not possible to change the name of the server, but you can add a label to it (see attached screenshot). And yes, it can be done during production hours, this doesn't affect the production data.
Please let me know if this answers your question.

Change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010

Hi
How I can change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010. I want to configure display name (from address)of email
for each site collection separately.for example I want to change "software unit"
in below pic to another name for my software unit site collection.
How I can do this?
Thanx.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010.
In my environment, if I assign a task to a user, the email is as below:
The “test” is the site name, the [email protected] is the “From” user.
Do you want to change the “From” field in the workflow?
If so, you can have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
) which allow you to specify the sender.
Here are some similar threads for your reference:

Change DISPLAY NAME

I install this messaging :
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)
libimta.so 6.2-8.04 (built 19:20:35, Feb 28 2007)
SunOS sunmail 5.10 Generic_125101-01 i86pc i386 i86pc
My problem is:
When user send email to internet user ( ex: yahoo.com or gmail.com etc. ) the messaging. must change the DISPLAY NAME with other DISPLAY.
ex: from: Giovanni <[email protected]>
on
from: External Mail <[email protected]>
I try with CONVERSION channel but it's change only body of mail.
### mappings
CONVERSION
IN-CHAN=tcp_*;OUT-CHAN=tcp_*;CONVERT Yes
### Conversion
! Append disclaimer to single part messages if the body part
! is text.
in-channel=tcp_*; out-channel=tcp_*;

message-header-file=2; original-header-file=1;
override-header-file=0;
command="/opt/iplanet/sitescripts/change.sh footer.txt"
! Append disclaimer only to the first part of a multipart message
! if that part is a text message part. (part-number=1.1 is the
! first part of a multipart message).

in-type=text; in-subtype=*; part-number=1.1;

command="/opt/iplanet/sitescripts/change.sh footer.txt"
### Script Change.sh
Change $MESSAGE_HEADERS
cat NEW_MESSAGE_HEADERS > $MESSAGE_HEADERS
But don't work.....
I try with reverse mapping but change only email address don't change display name
#### mappings
REVERSE
*|tcp_local|[email protected] $D$Y"NEW DISPLAY"[email protected]
I try with sieve filter but I don't know how change FROM.
### imta.cnf
tcp_local destinationfilter file:///opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/invia.filter
What is the correct way ? There are other way ?
It's possible change the Display Name ?
Thank's

Hi,
My problem is:
When user send email to internet user ( ex: yahoo.com
or gmail.com etc. ) the messaging. must change the
DISPLAY NAME with other DISPLAY.
ex: from: Giovanni <[email protected]>
on
: External Mail <[email protected]>
I try with CONVERSION channel but it's change only
body of mail. Correct, the conversion channel only deals with MIME body parts and not the email headers themselves.
I try with reverse mapping but change only email
address don't change display name
#### mappings
REVERSE
*|tcp_local|[email protected] $D$Y"NEW
DISPLAY"[email protected]
Haven't tried this myself but will take your word for it.
I try with sieve filter but I don't know how change
FROM.
### imta.cnf
tcp_local destinationfilter
file:///opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/invia.filterWith 6.3 you could use the deleteheader/addheader to remove the From: and replace it with something else - this ability doesn't exist in 6.2.
What is the correct way ? There are other way ?
It's possible change the Display Name ? Yes.
You can change the display name by using the PERSONAL_NAMES mapping table.
For example to change the following on outgoing email (via tcp_local):
From: Shane Hjorth <[email protected]>
to
From: What The <[email protected]>
1) Add the personalmap keyword to the tcp_local channel
2) Add the following mapping table to the mappings file:
PERSONAL_NAMES
*|[email protected] $YWhat$ The3) Rebuild config
./imsimta cnbuild; ./imsimta restart
This is all explained in the messaging server admin guide "Handling Personal Names in Address Header Lines".

Shane.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

Once you click and select the folder's name it should be editable.

If you want to change template based on parameter. you have to use below syntax
v_layout boolean
V_LAYOUT:= FND_SUBMIT.add_layout(template_appl_name => 'SQLAP' -- application short name
,template_code => 'HUBAPAPN' -- template name
,template_language => 'en'
,template_territory => '00'
,output_format => 'PDF');
Above can be used in plsql stored procedure before submitting Concurrent Program (Bi Publisher report) or may be you can try to add this code in Oracle reports after report or before report trigger

Our Apple ID is ok and functioning. However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.

Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.

Why can't we change display name?

Its very funny that we cant change display name and also we must have earlier feature which shows all the logged on members
Think about it
Thank you

In the past you had to wait a while for the caches to refresh anyway, now you need to wait an eternity or contact SAP.
The "display name" is no longer editable.
So if you are going to choose a pseudonym which is well known, make sure the guy is already dead and cannot get up to any more mischief or new scandals...
Cheers,
Julius
