How to change my 'full name' in Mail on iPhone?

I use a me.com address and iCloud. I successfully changed my full name in Mail on my Mac, but won't show up on mail sent from phone.

Ah, after endless searching, this popped up in "More like this" right after I posted:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar> Select the email account with the issue and go into the Account Info area. In the Name field enter your full name.
Looks like it has to be changed locally on the phone. Thanks!

    Thank you for help! I was inattentive reading your answer. The thing which confused me was that I noted in blue. I had to just write in a red box and close the configuration window.

    To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    I have asked the hosts to consider editing out your name details for your own security.   I'm not sure what you should now do.    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    Go to icloud.com >> mail >> gear in the upper right >> preferences >> accounts.  You can change it there.  In my testing, I had to close and reopen my mail.app for it to take affect.

  • Cannot enter my full name in mail account preferences

    iMac 24-inch, Early 2008, OS 10.8.2:  When I send email from my icloud email account, some recipients report seeing only my email address in the from line at the top of the email without my real name.  I opened Mail preferences and the Full Name: box is greyed out and reads "Your Name" instead of my name under the accounts tab.  How can I unlock and access this box to enter my real name?  BTW, I went to the iCloud website, logged in, and went to the account prefs under the web based iCloud mail prefs.  This box was editable and already showed my name.  I deleted it and re-entered my full name.  When i returned to the Mail app on my iMac, the Your Name box still reads "Full Name" in grey, un-editable.  I tried a test email sent to my husband's email and it still reads just my email address without my name at the top.  How do I fix this?  Thank you in advance.

    Go into your icloud preferences and uncheck mail.  Give it a minute or so, then check it out.
    I tested that after changing my full name on the website.  The name updated in my mail.app, but not until I unchecked/rechecked.

  • Changing my full name

    Hello,
    Several years ago I registered for an Apple ID with the name "XYZ". Since then, I have changed it to be "ABC" in my Apple ID configuration page, and it's indeed been updated.
    Currently I'm trying to register for an iOS dev program, but it appears that in the "Full Name" box there is "XYZ" again, without any option to change it.
    I tried to contact the iTunes Store Support, but this issue falls outside their specialty.
    How can I change my "Full Name" to be "ABC"?
    Thanks!

  • Cannot enter my full name in mail preferences for iCloud

    Hey folks,
    Whenever I send an email from my mail app on my MacBook Pro, the person who gets it sees my full email address as opposed to my name. This leads to it being put in spam at times. When I go into Mail preferences to change this, the section that says full name is greyed out and I cannot put my name in. Any ideas? Would appreciate your help!

  • How to change data source name and context root during deployment

    Hi,
    Env:
    WLS 10.1.3
    JDev 11.1.1.6
    Hudson
    I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
    Kuba

    I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
    Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
    Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

  • How to change ASE server name in windows

    how to change the server name in Adaptive server enterprise running on windows

    Windows is going to require a few more steps if ASE is running as a service.
    Update all registry entries containing <servername> with <newservername>:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\SYBASE\Server
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SYBSQL_<servername>[ _BS | _XP ]
    NOTE: Doing a registry search on <servername> will bring up a ton of other locations, eg, legacy entries, ControlSet00X, etc ... not sure if all of these have to be changed, too ...
    NOTE: Haven't installed any of the latest ASE packages in windows so don't know if SAP's gone an changed the HKLM\SOFTWARE sub-branch name from SYBASE to SAP
    =========================
    In addition to Ryan's notes:
    - any other sysservers entries that refer to the old servername (eg, loopback)
    - any remote servers would need to update their external/remote logins, remote servers and/or proxy definitions ... as appropriate
    - if the ASE is involved in replication then you're looking at whole 'nother can of worms ... off the top of my head ... rs_databases, rs_idnames, rs_repdbs ... and of course any repdefs/subs that include the ASE name ?
    - obviously (?) any monitoring/maintenance/operational jobs ... documentation ...
