HT1349 My apple ID is different than the name that appears on my emails.

Can someone please help?  I cannot figure out how to change my email name (not the address but the name that appears when my email is received).  Can anyone guide me on how to change the profile name for my email?
The basic issue is:
     Apple ID:                     JohnDoe
     Email Address:            [email protected]
     Name in From Field:     SusanDoe
When I draft an email there is a box to pick the "from" address and my options are:
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
People who receive my emails think they are coming from my wife...yes, Susan Doe is my wife.  I am positng this in iPhone but, it happens no matter where I send an email from.

It sounds like it has to do with how you set up your email account, since it happens with other devices than your phone. Check your email account settings on your computer.

  • How can I change the name that goes with my email

    When I set up my Apple account, I used my first name (John) and middle initial, so my email shows that is from John. However, everyone calls me by my middle name (Dave), so I would like to change my email to appear to come from 'Dave' rather than 'John'. Even though I sign emails, Dave, people who don't know me reply to 'John.'
    I changed my account information (Apple ID Summary) to J. David, but the email was not effected. Within Mail preferences my full name is shown as John D. and is greyed out so that I can't change it.
    Not the end of the world, but it's one of those things ...

    Very clever, that worked! Thanks for your persistance.
    I don't want to take advantage of your kindness, but I have another annoying problem involving a Thunderbolt Firware Update for my MacBook Pro,

    It's another one that's not a big deal, but annoying.
    Thanks again.

  • TS4268 Trying to send a message but the name that appears in the destination box is 'emergency' not the contact but the message goes to the contact. How can I rectify this?

    I was sending messages to family but noticed that the names in the contact box were 'emergency' and not the contacts I was writing to.  Can anyone explain this and how to amend it back to contact names, please?

    First just try logging out and back in.  Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
    You might also try Trash It!
    Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

  • How do I change the name that appears on my comments on the photo streaming?

    When I first bought and configured my iphone 4, my husband used his name to create an apple account. I was able to change it most everywhere, but when I post a comment on a photo streaming it appears his name instead of mine. How do I fix it? When I log in, my name appears (at first it was his). The problem only seems to persist on the photostreaming. Thank you.

  • How do u change the name  that my email is sent in

    How do I change the name that appears on the emails I send?

    My full name is in my Contacts, and includes all my e-mail accounts.  I have a Yahoo account that I use for online purchases, and I've set my Yahoo account on my iPhone to only include my initials.  When I send a message from my Yahoo account to another account (even my own, which is in my Contacts) it comes in with just my initials.
    My main e-mail is a GMail account set up as Exchnage, but I have another GMail account set up as a "regular" GMail account on my iPhone.  That behaves just as my Yahoo account does, though I don't know how other account types behave.

    What is special about the connector for the 4s charger cable? Mine is a normal USB connector. The question was about the wall charger, not the connector to the phone.

  • How can my wife access all of our itunes music if she signs up for iTunes match, but her apple id is different than mine?

    How can my wife access all of our iTunes music, even if she subscribes to iTunes Match, if her Apple ID is different than mine?

    I do subscribe to iTunes Match.....and the music i am referring to is all of our downloaded albums and songs that are currently in iTunes and in the "cloud" on my iPhone and my iPad.
    So if she uses my Apple ID for her iPhone, she can sign up for iTunes Match on my account?  Will any of my apps then transfer to her phone?  Or just the iTunes "data"?

  • Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

    Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

    Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads.  I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this.  So that begs the question, where is that folder located?  When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

  • How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

    I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
    The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
    Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

    Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
    It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.

  • Why is the font Garamond Premier Pro bought through Adobe different than the website?

    Hello,
    I really liked the font from Adobe, Garamond Premier Pro and I purchased it, hoping to get great documents but unfortunately, it does not look crisp even if I put the size at 14, put it in bold... It looks completely different than the demo and I don't know why it looks the way it does.
    I've attached a Word document which represent the way it looks. Hopefully you will see what I mean.
    Thank you,

  • Why is the INVOICE date different than the ORDER date?

    Something odd is happening... I'm receiving workflow notifications from Business Catalyst for Invoices, but sometimes the date of the order is the day before I receive the invoice. This is causing havoc on the shipping side because when I print out the invoice packing slips and export the order files, they don't match up and sometimes customers get missed.
    Any idea why the invoice date would be different than the order date and how do I fix it to make them the same?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey there,
    An invoice is not an order. That is an important thing to know.
    An order is generated through a few means but mainly as soon as one product is added to a cart - that order exists and the date marked. An invoice is a purchase and comes from an order.
    Create an order in the admin yourself and save it but add no invoice number. You can see you just made an order and you will see the button to generate invoice.
    API can make an order and no invoice, a person can add items to cart and finish it the next day if they have their session open that long... Lots of reasons why these dates may differ.

    Do you capture in RAW or JPEG? What software do you use to view your image? Is your monitor calibrated? What is the brightness level on your camera LCD? All of these information can affect your image. And keep in mind that image on the back of the camera is often brighter and more saturated.

  • Is this LPC different than the Custom correction in CS5?

    Sorry, I'm having trouble discerning if this Lens Profile Creator is different than the Custom lens correction tab I already have in Photoshop CS5?
    Also, my intial reason for looking was I'm trying to find a lens correction for the iPhone 4's front-facing camera. I have definitions for the 3G, 3GS, and the 4 back-facing - but not the front.
    Thank you.

    LPC creates profiles for the Auto Correction tab not the Custom Correction tab of the Lens Correction filter.
