HT4897 iCloud alias still displaying my name

I created two e-mail alias accounts for my me.com account. However, when I send a test e-mail from them, they still display my actual name...which sort of defeats the whole purpose of having an alias e-mail. Is there anyway to simply show the e-mail alias and not have any other identifying information show up? Thanks!

Thanks much for the response, but I have different entry in the "Full Name" selection, but it is still pulling my actual name instead of what I have entered as the full name for the alias. I am going to try to change the "Full Name" for my main iCloud IMAP and see if that helps. Thanks again for the response.

ICloud alias not displaying correct name

I have a primary email address for my iCloud account Me ([email protected]) and an alias SomeoneElse ([email protected]). From the web or Apple mail, everything works fine. From iOS devices, my name (Me) show us instead of SomeoneElse when I send from the alias.
E.g. receiver sees.. Me <[email protected]> when I send from alias and Me <[email protected]> when I send form the primary. The name shows up wight in Preferences in iCloud. This only happens when I send from iPhone and iPad. I deleted iCloud and reconfigured on both and same issue.
Suggestions?

Configuring Receive Connectors for External Notifications while still displaying Site Name

This is closely related to the issue we 'resolved' in
this blog
Our SharePoint notifications would not display the Site Name in the Display Name. i.e. If an Expense Request was approved, we wanted the display name of the email to come from "Accounting"
To resolve, we went to the receive connector and made sure only "Anonymous Users" was checked under Permission groups. The workflows and notifications immediately started displaying the site they originated in the Display Name, but...
All notification emails going to external users (outside our primary domain) ceased. We has to check 'Exchange Servers' under permission groups and then we lost the display name but gained email to external users.
Does anyone know how to get both working at the same time?
Thanks!!

New icloud alias on old Macbook

My original me.com email was in my maiden name for professional purposes I set up an icloud alias with my married name. I have an 3rg generation ipad and iphone 4s and the alias has been no problem. I am having difficulty finding/setting up the icloud alias on my old macbook running OS X version 10.5.8. Is this possible?

Short answer is that you can't unfortunately, iCloud control panel is what you need and 10.6.8 is incompatible.

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

SmartView version 11.1 -- Display Member Name & Alias?

Is it possible to display member name and alias (description) within the same query. This is possible with the Essbase Addin, but I don't see the option in SmartView... its one or the other... ideas?

Hi JFo
This is by design unfortunately, although I wish they would change it as it is one of the most common things I get asked when trying to convert clients from Excel add-in to SmartView!!
There are only certain types of SmartView connection that support displaying both member name & alias together. I can't remember exactly what you can and cannot use but I pretty sure that Planning and Essbase do not support displaying both either in version 9 or 11.1
Fingers crossed it gets added soon!!

Call your local Apple store. Not sure how the phone system works in the UK, but here in the US there is a menu system that allows you to make an appointment. Or, you can go online to www.apple.com/retail, or you can use the Apple Store app and make an appointment there after selecting the particular store.

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.

Hi,
My name is Norbert. I am having some difficulties restoring my icloud back up. My ipad was doing an icloud back up and the alert message displayed on the ipad after my internet was interrupted "A wi-fi connection is required to download your apps and media".
I got the internet working, my ipad is receiving internet network but the alert message is still displayed on the ipad and won't go away, to make matters worse the ipad is frozen and i can't do anything.
Please can anyone with a similar experience tell me what to do in this situation?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried a hard restart. Press the on/off button and homescreen buttons together until the device shuts down.

Mac Mail displaying incorrect name to the "To" and "from" field of all of my Hotmail emails

When Hotmail is viewed via Mac Mail, the To: field displays the recipient’s name & Hotmail address. There is a serious problem with my incoming Hotmail … instead of displaying my name and Hotmail email address it displays my friend’s name (initials are RB) alongside my Hotmail email address ... for every Hotmail email that is sent to me no matter who emails me. My contact/address book entries for my name and my friend are correct in Mac Address Book and Hotmail Contacts. Very strange.
Mac Mail seems to be adding recipient name to the To: field of all of my Hotmail emails & putting in the wrong name next to my email address! I say this because the officialwww.hotmail.com site only displays a recipient email address in the To: field (no name appears). This error is only happening in Mac Mail with my Hotmail emails (not happening with my Gmail and Yahoo emails).
How/why is a wrong name/my friend's name displayed next to my email address in every Hotmail message I view in Mac Mail?
This error is only occurring in incoming Hotmail messages addressed to me. Emails that I send using my Hotmail show my name & email address correctly in the From field.
Thank you

Mail has Smart Addresses that will display the name and email address under Preferences > Viewing, but your issue sounds like a different issue.
Did you setup an outlook.com alias in Outlook.com when it made the transition? If not, add an alias and see if that helps. You can also test sending from the outlook.com alias to see if the results are as expected.
For example if your Hotmail email is [email protected] then setup an alias [email protected]
If that fails, test in a new User.
Create a new User in System Preferences.
Log into your new User.
You can skip the Apple ID setup unless you are testing iCloud.
Select Don't Sign in > Continue > Skip
Open Mail and enter your Hotmail account.
Does the problem go away?

Messages on Mac app not displaying contact name

On Messages on my Mac, despite being synced up with iCloud, the Messages app does not display the contact names of anyone. It shows their phone numbers or Apple email addresses. Is there any preference I can change to make it show the contact names? If it exists I haven't found it. I also used the app meant to scrub contacts to make the phone number format conform with Apple's standard (xxx) xxx-xxxx please help!

HI,
I take it you are no longer on OS X 10.7.2 ?
The display of Names (and/or Pics) in Buddy Lists and the main Messages window (when in a Chat) in Mountain Lion is controlled from the View Menu > Buddy Names.
To set this choice the window has to be the "Front" one.
So the Messages window (CMD + 0 in the window Menu) gets brought to the Front when any sort of Text Chat is going On.
the View Menu > Buddy Names items is selected and navigation to the choice you want.
Full names is the First name, Last name as seen in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
Short Names are Nicknames (normally set via Messages) or First name only if no Nickname exists.
Handle is the Screen Names (If AIM), Jabber ID (If Facebook, GoogleTalk or other Jabber ID) or in the case of iMessages the current contact ID or iPhone number.
You can do the same to any Buddy list that you also display.
It can be used in Conjunction with the View Menu > Messages which has options to display Pics, Names or Pics and Names.
(Names now refers to whatever is set in the "Buddy Names" option).

Hi Munsifuv,
Is this a question about Power Query? If not, I'd recommend directing your question to a Dynamics Ax forum.

The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

Email workflow showing domain and alias and not the name in the email

I created an email workflow for a specific user field value to receive an email on a trigger event.
However, the email received shows the DOMAIN/Alias and not the "Name" in the email content.
How to correct this error? Not sure where is the issue is.
Sample:
Hello [%Current Item: Reviewer%] is the greeting line.
If Reviewer is say Domain A/v-abcd and Name is Abcd.
The email reads
"Hello Domain A/v-abcd" and not "Hello Abcd"

Hi,
Just select "Display Name" instead of "Login Name" in the "Return field as" field of Lookup dialog.
It should help.
