How to correct my Account name ?

Hi,
My account name has %20 between the first word and the second word of my last name.
Is there a way I can remove this %20 ?
I have looked in the Profiles region but don't see any way to change it.
Thanks for your help,
Peter

Thanks Phil.
My account name is 'Van%20Orden Peter'
Reg,
Peter

What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

How to change admin account name?

My parents started up my MacBook Pro and gave it a stupid admin account name. I though I knew how to change it, but I still see it in the User list and in the terminal.
I read about logging in as root user to change it, but just thought of doing a factory reset. I don't have anything important on it yet.
Any Advice?

I just found ChangeShortName software. Looks good. Any suggestions on 'cool' short names?

How to remove the account name from header when printing emails

In outlook 2007 using Exchange Server 2007 users wishing to print an email using memo style have a header consisting of the account user's full name and a bold line under it, then the friendly email headers and body. Is there a way to remove/configure
the memo style header?
Marc

Hi Marc,
Unfortunately, there is no way in Outlook to change or remove the name or message header which is being displayed at the top of a printed message. It is tied to the Display Name of your email account which you can’t modify yourself for an Exchange account.

How to remove itunes account name from imessages

Just activated a new phone and everyone I said an imessage too is receiving the text with my apple id name at the top. how do I have it show as from my contact name or phone number and not my apple email address.

Hi Stephen
If it were me I'd go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
This will wipe all of your info, apps, music, etc, from the phone and allow your sister to set it up "as new" with her own iTunes and AT&T accounts.
This procedure can take a while so I'd have the phone plugged in and allow a couple of hours for it to complete =0)

Howe how do i change the name of my home folder?

I was completing a form and i noticed that it was commenting in a name that i have never used on this computer. did a little digging and discovered that this name is the name of my "Home" folder. The name is my wife's late husband's name!!!! LoL I have absolutely no idea how that possibly could have become the name of my computer since I have never used that name!!!! Well for some reason I can find absolutely no way to change it. Geez folks, did I somehow stumble in the Microsoft world? I thought Macs were easy! LoL. The name of my computer is correct. Now how do I change the name of my "home" folder, whatever the f**** that is????
Thanks!

Search itunes library by account name

i have gathered many songs over the years. often i will get a message saying i can not play a song because i am not authorized.
i woud like to clean the library once and for all.
how can i search or sort by account name or purchased by?

It might be possible, but it's not a simple modification. The script extracts the purchaser's name via a shell script using grep, so to change it so that the playlist is named for the iTunes Store account name, someone would have to be able to figure out how to extract the account name via a grep. That's not something I have yet figured out. You could email Doug and ask if this is something he could consider for a future version:

I have changed the iTune store account name and want to update for App Store, so that I can updates applications. How to change the account name on the App Store? I changed in the Setting but it doesn't affect in the App Store. Thanks for your help.

I think you need to login to a different iTunes account from within iTunes, then sync your iPhone/iPod Touch. It should then have your other store account as the default.
