How to change your displayed name

How do you change your displayed name in iCloud? I have tried changing the settings and I also update my Apple ID profile, but iCloud still displays my old name.
The name displays in the upper right hand corner and is always displayed, even if you select Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Notes, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Just had this problem myself. All you have to do is visit https://appleid.apple.com/ . Log in and you can edit your info. Best luck!

How to change your 'computer name' ?

I have just 'migrated' ( using the software install - by a firewire cable ) from my old PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro - Everything is fine except now my MacBook Pro is called PowerBook G4 15" on the start-up screen and system profiler title.
My question is how do you change this 'computer name' ?
Many thanks in advance.

You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

How to change 'captured' display name?

How can I view, and more importantly edit, a 'captured' display name?
I can view and change the display name I made for the contact entry in the address book, but cannot view, much less edit, the 'captured' display name (I looked at the address book using 'Notepad' and can see the entry of the 'captured' display name).
This causes problems when I start entering the person's name since the 'captured name' often shows up.
Scenario:
(1) Person's name = John Doe; Original email address = [email protected]; First message received from original email address had a 'captured'/'sent' display name of 'John Doe'; I created and edited the contact entry / address card and explicitly entered 'John Doe';
(2) Person now has a new primary email address = [email protected], but wants to keep original email address; With the new, primary email address, I edited the original contact entry / address card and change the display name to 'John Doexx' (keeping the original email address); I created a new contact entry / address card with a display name of 'John Doe' and entered the new primary email address.
(SITUATION) When I create an email message and start to enter the name 'John Doe', several names are listed. In sequence, the consists of the first (i.e. 'original') address card up with the display name of 'John Doe', then the second ('new') address card with the display name of 'John Doe', and then the 'original' address card (again) with the display name of 'John Doexx'.
Bottom line, I need to change the 'captured' display name for the first address card so it matches the display name I entered. Alternatively, TBird should ignore 'captured' display names if a display name is explicitly entered.
P.S. This questions/issue does not involve a concern about the name actually displayed in the message, although that too should be addressed.

Jim
In the '''address book''' click on the '''contat''' then right click choose '''properties''' that page where you in put the mane of the contact and email address there is a check box which when checked '''Always prefer display name over message header''' Try this and let me know if it works

HT3051 can you change your Change Your Displayed Name if you have multiple devices attached with the same apple id?

We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?

@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

How to change the display name for Gmail aliases?

I have a Gmail account with multiple aliases. They look like this:
Joe User <[email protected]> (Primary)
Support <[email protected]> (Alias)
Billing <[email protected]> (Alias)
Works great. I'm trying to set up Apple Mail on my new MacBook to support the aliases as well. I am able to input the e-mail aliases, but the display names for all are 'Joe User' which defeats the purpose of having the aliases.
I have to imagine I can do this. Can someone help me out?
Regards,
Dave

How to change your real name in gamecenter?

Alright so, I know how to change my nickname in gamecenter, but not my real name, my nickname and real name is shown to my friends, so I'd prefer instead of my mom's name, for mine, so people can find me and recognize me. I changed my name for my apple id, online at the manage your apple id page, but it hasn't seemed to update for gamecenter, does it? Or do I just have to wait?
-Thanks

You can't. If the person who receives your iMessage has your contact information in their iOS device, you will show up under your contact name. Otherwise, it will show your ID, which is your email address.

How to change the display name in the filter view

Hi,
I have one column "*Year*" and type in case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end.
I add a filter view for it. but when I select, like 2010, it will display"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end" is equal to 2010.
So how can I change it to "Year is equal to 2010"?
Any one have any idea about this?
Regards,
Anne

Hi David,
About your confuse about"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end".
You can try in your locale.
You will find they are different.
BASED ON THAT you have two table product_d and calendar_d AND they are related by one Fact table.
THEN When you type in
"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end"
AND
"calendar_d"."year",
IT WILL SHOW U TWO different RESULTS.
I need to show year which its related product is not null. but I cannot use SHOW->SQL RESULTS->TYPE SOME "WHERE..." because I also need to use "constrain"..
That why I choose to use a case when function..
So, do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
AnneWhy not use two filters in your request? Have something like this:
product_d.name IS NOT NULL
AND
calendar.year IS PROMPTED?
...instead of using a CASE statement? This way you can have both filters show the way they should in a meaningful way.

How do I change my display name?

Please walk me through changing my display name.

Glad to ... please note, I am a Win7 PC, so if you use any other operating system or device, what I am about to descrobe here could be very different as the Skype client software works and displays differently depending upon the platform.
At the top of the contacts list, click Skype -> Profile -> Edit your profile -> click your mouse over the name which appears beside your picture or at the top of this screen. Delete the text and type what you wish to appear - please note, this will appear both in your public profile and to your contacts. When you are finished editing the text, click the check mark beside the box.
Just above your name and above your picture or avatar, you may click on the Public profile or Contacts only buttons to review what will be seen either publicly or to your contacts only. Clicking the Edit button will take you back into the screen where you can make changes to your settings.
You will see at the end of several lines the words "private," "contacts only," or "public" in grey type. These are default settings where this information can be viewed and which said default setting can not be changed. If there is a drop-down box with a choice, you can decide where that information is displayed depending upon what the options are in that drop-down box.
Done!

How to chage the display name in SC browser for the custome fields?

Hi,
I created 2 custom fields for Shopping cart in SRM. How to chage the display name in SC browser for this custome fields?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
when you have defined your customer fields, you have created new fields in the CUF structures. The labels displayed on the SC screen come from the data element you have assigned to those cust fields in the include structure.
If you have used a std data element, then you can change its translation (attention, this will impact all structures, tables... abap objects using this data element).
If you have created a Z data element, then adapt its description accordingly.

Change email display name????

My display name for the exhange email set up on my iphone appears wrong. I have double checked with the email provider and they say this has to be changed with apple. How do i do that?

Log into your webmail, click on Preferences (tools icon) (upper right ish). Now on the left, you click on accounts click on the account at the top (I only have one - so the details show up on the lower right) and change your from name.
Now I did stop and re-start my mail app on the ipad and it did not (yet) update the name. I am not sure when this gets done but I will be phoning shaw when I get a chance and update this post at that time.
Wish me luck. You could also set it up as a pop account. Shaw does not have the imap option like the rest of the planet (in the year of 2013!)

How to change image display of my podcast page in iTunes?

As far as I understand you need to update the image's link in your RSS XML file. Be sure to change the link file name even if it links to a different image.
The XML files associated with podcasts are checked for changes every 24 hours so don't expect this to happen instantly.
