Dear All,

Go to icloud.com >> mail >> gear in the upper right >> preferences >> accounts. You can change it there. In my testing, I had to close and reopen my mail.app for it to take affect.

How do I change the 'Full Name' on my iCloud Mail (and on my Apple ID as I think this is where it is getting my Full Name? Thanks

To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

Hello,
At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
Thanks,

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender. How do I change this to a nickname? Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there. Thanks for your help!

You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

I have iCloud on MY PC and when I try to download attachments it is changing the file name to messagepart. What can i do to change this?

I have iCloud on MY PC and when I try to download attachments it is changing the file name to messagepart. What can i do to change this?

I don't think this is an iCloud issue- it is the latest release of Safari. Firefox attachments are still correctly downloaded.
This needs some interest from Apple techs.

Can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

I suspect you can't, but just checking: can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

There is no way to change the default font in the mail app. You can make the type larger by using the accessibility feature of larger text. Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Text. There is an app that allows you to add fonts to the iPad, but I do not think this works with the built in iOS apps such as mail.
You can check it out.

Can you change the "Full Name" of a BO account

We have a user who has changed their surname. We can rename the Account Name but the Full Name is greyed out and I cna't see anyway I can change this.
How have you handled such name changes (it may even apply if you have setup an account name and made a spelling error).
With thanks
Gill

Gill,
Looks like your CMS is integrated with some sort of 3rd party security like LDAP, AD &/or SAP. If you want the option to change/update users FULL name then you must un-check that option.
See example for SAP Integration where the FULL Name, Email setting are NOT being imported over from SAP.

I want to use the same name for my icloud email address as my .mac name

My name for all of my yahoo, gmail, .mac email accounts are al the same. I'd like to use the same name for my icloud account. It tells me that the name is not available but I'm pretty sure no one else would have chosen it. Is the fact that I've used it for my .mac email address somehow blocking it's availability? Please help. Thanks.

There is some confusion in my mind about your post. Let me describe what I think you mean, let us know if I misunderstood...
I'm assuming you already have an Apple ID that you used to define an iCloud account (or an older dot mac account), and the iCloud account has "[email protected]" as its email address. But the Apple ID for this account is not the same as the email address I just listed, perhaps your apple ID is something like "xyz@???.com" and what you want is to use the ID, "mySpecialName@???.com". [the "???" could be mac, icloud, or something else]
If I've got it right so far, then when creating a **new** Apple ID, you must now use @icloud.com. If you are trying to define "[email protected]", then that is the problem - "mySpecialName" is already associated with @icloud.com, because your current @mac.com also has [email protected] as an alias, so that name is no longer available.
Also, you cannot change the current ID from "xyz" to "mySpecialName" on an existing account. So either way, you can't get the ID that you desire.
Let us know if this is not what you mean.

Certain characters not appearing in the "full name" when sending e-mail

I have certain characters in my full name of one of my e-mail aliases in iCloud. However, those characters are simply absent from the name shown as sender name when sending mail from Mail app in OS X. For me the problematic characters are C5 A1 and C4 8D (UTF-8 codes).

Yes, š and č are those. Sorry, I wasn't sure if they will work here. I have my full name containing the š and č in the "Full Name" field of the e-mail alias settings on web interface to the iCloud Mail. But in Mail on OS X my name in the "From" field appears without those two characters (other characters are OK) when I select this alias. Also, those two characters are invisible at the recipient's side. And yes, if I sent a copy of such a mail to myself the š and č are missing again in the "From" field.
However, I have the same full name with š and č for my main e-mail address (iCloud account name). Using this main e-mail address š and č appear everywhere!

How do I change the first name associated with a developer account?

How do I change the name on my developer account. I now have my discussion ID tied in with developer account, and I would like to change the name associated with my developer account. There is a field to change my first name on the discussion board, but there seems to be no option to change the first or last name associated with a developer account.

I ran into the same problem and was glad to find this post.
I started to register as a iOS developer but my daughters name shows up in the personal info field and can not be changed. When I go to the "manage my ID" page it has my name and the correct info. How do I fix this for my Developer ID registration?
I just sent an email to the link Dave supplied and am waiting for a response.

How to change the acounts name e.g. in mail?

Me and my wife are having 2 iCloud accounts. One for my wife. Obviously the creditcards name is used for the name of the account. This means my wife is sending mails with her account and my name is shown. How to change this?
Thanks!

Have your wife create a alias with her name and use that. This is how it's done online at the iCloud site:
She can setup her Mail client to use the alias as the default email address.

How can I change the from name on my outgoing mail?

How can I change my name in the "from" line on my out going mail..I've tried everything?

What if the Name in Mail preferences, account settings is greyed out? How/where can I change it? It is correct in System Prefernces, Mail contacts and calenders and in the iCloud setting in System Prefences.
The problem is in the mail account preferences!
Thanks for your help!

HT204053 I setup an apple id using my gmail email address from my iphone and then I decided to change my email to icloud. So I setup an icloud email account. Now I want to change my apple id to my icloud email account, but it wont let me. How can I merg

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks

You can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

HT4436 someone else has my ipad and has used my e-mail account but deleted my apple id

I have an iCloud account that is synced with my iPhone, and WAS also synced with my iPad. I no longer have my iPad (although I do have it registered under my apple id, serial number and all), but I was looking through my DRAFTS in my e-mail account and saw that the person that has my iPad had sent out an e-mail answering a Craigslist ad, and it clearly says at the bottom of the draft "SENT FROM MY iPAD." Since then, I have been unable to track my iPad through the Find My iPhone App, but I would like to find out if there's any way that I can have concrete proof that the e-mail was in fact sent from that iPad???? Please help! The iPad is still registered under my apple ID, so technically, I own it. I just don't want my personal information to be comrpomised, and if this person is using my e-mail address, I would like to take action. Thanks in advance for any input.

I doubt that there is any way to tell, and if there is, only Apple would be able to do this (but may require a court order to do so). You would have to contact Apple support to inquire further.
In the meantime, change your iCloud password here: https://iforgot.apple.com/iForgot/iForgot.html. After doing so, you will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new password. This will delete the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
Before deleting the account, if you have any photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. This is necessary because when you reconnect to your photo stream, only photos added in the last 30 days will be streamed back to your device.
