How/where do I change the AppleID associated with my computer?

What do you mean by "change the Apple ID"? Are you trying to get a new ID from the one you currently have or just add a new ID to the computer?

How do I change the AppleID associated with my iPhone4?

My iPhone4 is associated with AppleID me@work I also use AppleID me@home The email account me@work no longer exists. I want to reassign my iPhone4 to AppleID me@home. How do I do this?

iOS5 installed? If so, try the following:
Under Settings --> Store, sign out. Then sign in again using your preferred Apple ID
In Settings --> Messages --> Recieve At --> Click Apple ID, then sign out and sign in with another ID
In Settings --> iCloud, click "Delete Account" to unlink the phone from current Apple ID. Sign in with the new preferred ID.
If at any point it asks if you want to delete locally stored data, tell it no.
If that doesn't work for you, then open iTunes, plug in the phone, and reset it to factory defaults. Then set it up again as a NEW phone with the preferred Apple ID rather than restoring from backup.
Caveat: If you install apps that were purchased with me@work, there is no way to transfer them to me@home. You can install them if the computer used to set up the phone is authorized for the me@work account. BUT this means every time you need to update apps, you will have to sign out of me@home in Store, then sign in again as me@work... it will only update apps purchased on currently signed-in Apple ID. Only SIMPLE solution to this that I know is to re-purchase all the apps.

HT204053 How do I change the appleID associated with my icloud on my phone. It has an old appleid and I can't change it?

How do you change an old apple ID that is being used in Icloud on your Iphone?

Hi,
First Call customer service, or go to an apple store, they have a process to determine you actually own the account and are not someone trying to steal it. Do you still have access to your email address? If not, you need to talk with them and hopefully you set up a security question. If you did great! They will ask you that, as well as a few basic q's they have. If you are the owner, they can and will be glad to help.
Best of luck

How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

OK I am sure that this is a common issue. Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch. She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age. A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone. All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality. She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address. My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her." That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with. She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased. And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place. As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!

How to change the username associated with "Home"?

My wife got a new mac (from her job) and I've taken over her previous machine, a Macbook Pro (2008). I've upgraded the system several times already, and now using OS Lion. My problem is that I want — but haven't figured out how (or it it's possible) — to change the name of "Home" — from (a form of) her name to something else. I'm the only user with administrative privileges, and I thought that would (somehow) change the name associated with "Home" — but no, it has not.
Is this something that can ( or must) be done via Terminal?

You can't, the original name is squirelled away all over the machine.
The only way to get it to be all yours, is to backup all data files off the machine, hold command option r down on a wired keyboard at boot time connected to a fast Internet connection and use Disk Utility to erase the ENTIRE drive, then reinstall OS X with your AppleID and password into the Macintosh HD partition.
When you reboot, you are greated to the intial install, where you can place your name all over the machine.
When you erase the drive this way all programs are gone, and only those associated with AppleID can be downloaded from AppStore as they are copy protected.

How do i change the name associated with my icloud

how do i change the name associated with my icloud

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

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/where can you change the delimiters within the output file -Urgent Pls!

Hello Experts,
When Exporting data through EAS, how/where can you change the delimiters within the output file (ie. space delimited vs tab delimited vs custom)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonu

This is where I will be shot down in flames but at least in 7.x I am unaware of any configuration option that allows you to export in anything other than space delimited.
I guess you could write a shell/perl script that could change this outside of Essbase

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

How to find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program

Hi All,
In 4.6B we have a transaction code SE49, where we can see all the tables associated with particular Transaction code or Program.
But in ECC 5.0 or in ECC 6.0 this transaction code is not available.So is there any alternative where i can find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program.
Thanks
Shubham

Hi,
you are right, Transaction SE49 as well as SE48 do not exist anymore I'm afraid, they
are discontinued.
You might try to create a transaction variant:
1) Start SE93 to create a transaction variant
2) Specify a name, eg. ZSE49, and choose the first option:
   "program and screen (dialog transaction)
3) Here specify SAPMSEUZ as program, and 200 as screen number
4) Choose a suitable development class (package) if you want it to be
   transportable or Local (=$TMP) if non-transportable
5) press Save
Same applies for SE48, same program but dynpro 100.
Sorry for not being able the reasons behind the decision to discontinue
these transactions. I suppose at least part of the functionality was
integrated in SE38.
Best regards
Erika

How do I change the bank associated with receiving my ebill?

I'm trying to setup my bank account to receive ebills from Verizon, but whenever I try I receive the following message, "This account number is already active for e-bills. E-bills can only be associated with one user name." I've looked all over my account but cannot find where to change this information.

JLoope Let's figure out how to update your banking information for ebilling. Since the message is indicating that you already have an account active for ebills, is there a section where you delete the current information?
