How to change the name in "Previous Recipients" list?

Hi all,
Wondering if some of you might have encountered similar problems in the past.
One cool feature of Mac Mail is that it'll autocomplete the recipients' email addresses and names when you start typing their names in the To field.
But most of the time their names are wrong when associated with their respective email addresses. For example,
The correct association should be shown as: John Doe <[email protected]>; instead, it is sometimes shown as "[email protected] Doe" <[email protected]>
How do you change the wrong name?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Barney.
What caused the problem? I recall the name being correct before but then after a while it got messed up.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Is there a more fundamental solution to the problem? Thanks.

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

Will someone please tell me how to change the name of a folder I created in Pages and saved to the cloud?

Will someone please tell me how to change the name of a folder I created in "Pages" and saved to the "Cloud"? Thanks.

Go to the open dialog in Pages and select iCloud.
Click on the folder that you created on iCloud to open the folder.
On the lower half of the window (the open folder) click on the name of the folder.
Once you click and select the folder's name it should be editable.

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.

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

Hi mkl1961,
Happy Holidays! The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
AirPort base station passwords are "public."
AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
*A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port. You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

Hi everybody,
I am a professional translator.
One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
Thanks for your help.

... book file ...
... each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) ...
I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.

How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??

I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want. If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>. Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association.
It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser. If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]> And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac. That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses. Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.

How to change the name of my Home Folder

I'm just wondering how I could change the name of my personal home folder which is associated with my username. I heard that there's a script I can download or something.

First, before you go messing around with your home folder, make SURE you have a backup. If you have to ask how to make one, this process is not for you-it's advanced, and can mess up your data if done wrong.
1. Open Accounts preferences (>System Preferences...>Accounts)
2. Unlock the lock at the bottom, if necessary.
3. Control (or right) click your account's name, and click "Advanced Options..."
4. (IMPORTANT) Change "Short Name" to what you want the new short name to be.
5. (IMPORTANT) Change "Home Directory" so that the path is right (I.E. if your new short name is "test1", change the path to "/Users/test1"-basically, DON'T CHANGE "/Users/"-just what comes after it-DON'T TYPE THE QUOTES)
6. (IMPORTANT) Click "OK", and restart.
Good luck! AND BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

How to change the name of the Mac I connect to in the drop-down window.

Using my brand new MacBook, in the drop down menu when I connect to my iMac, it shows up as my name ( which is Derek Walton's Computer) ...... How can I change the name that shows up here? I have tried all areas that iI can think of and altered my name on the iMac but to no avail - e.g. - Network Sharing, Account Name, and so on.... anything anywhere I have changed... but it always shows up with my full name. I have however managed to get the name in the sidebar of the Leopard window to read as I want ( Derek's iMac) but that is all.
Also, when I am using Airport on my MacBook, in the drop-down menu I see also other neighbours connections.... I am wondering therefore does it follow that they can see my wireless connection ( as Derel Waltons Computer)?
This has been vexing me all night and I am geting very frustrated, but I bet there is a simple answer..... for those that know!
Thanks in advance for any help you care to put my way.
Derek

It is not a simple issue. Not the same as changing a user account in Preferences. Ttry this link:

How to change the name of a group mms in iOS 8.1.2?

I have a group of friends and we made a group mms to keep track of things. There are more than 8 people in this group so I get nonstop messages from everybody and I would like to be more organized and make a name for it. I looked up how to and I did as it said: "Go to the details page and scroll downward and a 'Subject' area should appear and that is where you change the name". This was added back when iOS 8 just came out, I'm wondering if it has changed since then or maybe it's a hardware problem?

How to change the name of a clone?

I cloned in order to upgrade to Tiger.
How do I change the name of the clone?
I was told this: change the computer's name from the Sharing pane of System Preferences.
I went into the hard drive with the clone, opened system folder>library>preferencepane folder, clicked on sharingpref.pref pane and got a message saying "you cannot install the preferences pane folder because it already exists"
What stupid thing have I done?
Thanks!

What stupid thing have I done?Probably nothing, but what exactly do you want to rename? The "clone", which is a disk volume, or the "computer name"? And if the latter, why?
I have several volumes which are "clones" and they are named "OSX48", "OSX39" etc so I know which is which (my main system boot volume is just plain "OSX_4"). But at no time did I need to change my computer's name.
You change the volume name the same way you change a folder or file name: click on the name until it becomes an editable box, and type your new name.
