How to change my user name?
I want to change the user name in "Users and Groups"
I changed it so that in the upper right hand corner of the desktop it reflects the new name, but when I open the Users folder, it still has the old name. I want to change the name of the main users folder. However, I would rather not change my Apple ID (which is my old user name).

How to change apple user name on iPhone?
I've changed my Apple user name online but can't figure out how to change it on my iphone to sync.
Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

How to change admin user name?
I have seen directions in this community related to earlier editons of OSX, but not to OS 10.8. I just set up a new iMac. In booting I established the user admin name "Bob", which is the name I wanted to use permanently. However, when I subsequently ran Migration Assistant to transfer all of our data from my wife's old iMac to the new iMac, I received a message that the user "Bob" on the old iMac would have to be renamed (e.g. Bob1), since you can not have two users with the same name. What I want to end up with is to delete the Bob account that I used only to boot up the new iMac and check Software Updarte, and use my "Bob" user migrated from the old iMac. But, I want the migrated account to be "Bob", not "Bob1". Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi, I followed your instructions but when I get to step 5, I don't get what is described in step 6. I only get a left-pointing red arrow and a text below that says "Name is already used by another user". So I cannot proceed further. Did I miss something?
The user newuserfolder was created with the terminal and the files were moved there. -
Hi all,
I just bought a Macbook pro. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the user name of the computer. The one associated to the little house icon.
I have been trying unsuccessfully to do it!
A part that I'm really enjoying my new computer!
thanks a lot!
tIf it is new and you haven't added anything to it, just create a new account with the name you want. Make it able to administer the computer and then log in to it. Delete the other one, or keep it for testing and troubleshooting.

How do I change my user name in syn? I typed in the wrong email address. And I cancelled syn thinking this may work but no luck.
You have to clear saved password for this page:
# Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
# Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one. -

How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps?
Hi jprohask63,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

I changed my user name on Yahoo, now all my folders are gone. How to fix?
I use ipad mail for 4 email accounts. In Yahoo, I created personal folders with things I cannot afford to lose. I changed mu user name & password with Yahoo, so now all those folders don't show up with new user name. I contacted Yahoo, they said they were able to restore this data. When I checked on ipad, nothing. But my iMac showed all my mail accounts correctly, and under Yahoo, my folders were all there. Now somehow, I've messed it up again. Can't see those folders on iMac or ipad. How can I fix this? I'm not familiar with iMac as much as ipad. Any step by step instructions would be so appreciated!

How do you handle change in user names if folks get married or divorced
If an application is using the apex authentication scheme, how do you handle change in user names if folks get married or divorced. The reason I ask the question is that all of apex uses v('app_user'), which is the user_name. If I have transactions done by this user and then their name changes, which means so does their id, how do I get all of their transactions, before and after the name change. Traditionally I would expect to use user_id, not sure if this feature is still available. I can always create a custom auth scheme, but that is a lot of additional work. Any ideas?
Thanks,Appreciate your help and time Jari, below is my game plan, unless someone has a better idea,
I plan on doing the following to use user_id for auditing of transaction records:
1. Get the user_id to use in the tables audit trail fields
user_id := apex_util.get_user_id(v('app_user'));
OR
user_id := apex_util.get_current_user_id;
2. If a user changes their name then use
apex_util.set_last_name(p_user_id, p_new_lastname);
apex_util.set_username(p_userid, p_new_username);
Thanks,
