HT5622 changing name linked to apple ID
I use an old email for my apple ID which is fine but the last name that is linked to it is no longer my last name.How can I keep my same apple ID but change my name in it?
AirWatch can't take a backup of an iPad and redeploy that image such as you'd use in Symantec Ghost. It can deploy apps based on a specific configuration that you define, but it's not as seemless as Apple Configurator where you can force any app to one or many ipads at the same time with the click of a single button.
There's a downside to deploying apps via Apple Configurator though and that is the binding of the Apple ID to the app which also affects how that app is updated. Back to gyrhead's response to my question, "You could use a generic organizational Apple id for the Configurator piece just for this purpose and provide everyone with the log in credentials for it" but even this isn't fool proof.
If sharing a single Apple ID works for you, then you have your answer. As a workaround to avoid sharing Apple ID's, I've had to delete the app that was loaded by Apple Configurator and ask the user to re-install the app from AirWatch's App Catalog or push it OTA from AirWatch's console.

Hi All
In CUP 5.3, in End user Personalization, there should be a field as "Change Name Link". To my surprise, this field is available in DEV server but only this particular field is not available in our GRC PRD server (both the servers have identical configuration).
Could somebody share some possible reason/resolution for this discrepancy?
Thanks
AbhijeetHi Abhijeet,
I surprise why the 'CHANGE NAME LINK filed not showing.
But If you can login to oracle database and insert the following enrty then your problem will be resolved.
insert into sapsr3db.VT_AE_EU_PRSNL values ('CHANGE NAME LINK',1,'',0,1,0);
But SAP will not recommend this procedure. By inserting one row in the table will not harmful, You can go with it.

Changed name of my Apple ID - now my songs aren't activated anymore-
Hi there
I recently changed the name of my Apple ID (to my new MobileMe address). Now there are a ton of songs and applications in my library which are activated with my previous account name. So I can't play or use/sync them anymore.
But if I choose "Activate Computer" from the menu iTunes tells me that this computer has already been activated for this account.
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this issue?
BastianI got some songs (and apps) I purchased under the old account name. I see this old account name in the information dialogue of these songs.
If I double click them I get a warning saying that this song hasn't been activated on this computer. Then I fill in my new account name and password for activation. After that I get the message that this computer has already been activated. But the song still doesn't play… -
CHANGING IPOD LINK FROM APPLE COMPUTER TO PC
MY IPOD WAS LINKED TO MY DAUGHTER'S APPLE COMPUTER. I FINALLY PURCHASED A NEW LAPTOP WITH WINDOWS XP. HOW CAN I ADD SONGS TO MY IPOD WITH MY COMPUTER WITHOUT LOSING THE SONGS MY DAUGHTER PUT ON FOR ME WITH HER APPLE LAPTOP?
IPOD MINI Windows XPIf your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive: How to determine your iPod's disk format
There are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows. This is one for instance gets good reviews and has the functionality to let you copy the songs from the iPod to the computer. Once you recovered the songs you could restore the iPod on your PC and format it for Windows: XPlay 2
If the iPod is already formatted for Windows there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. -
At first I thought I had to change the user name on my apple id, but I guess that is not possible. If I want my apple id to be linked to my current email address which is a gmail, I guess I am basically creating a new apple id, with all the complications that brings, right?
I have the same issue with my iCloud.
Should I do anything about this?Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for. -
Dear Apple support team,
I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask my apple id confirmation from me about 6-8 emails. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.
The latest link (just be sent to my email 1 hr. ago) : http://www.smartpixeladv.com/proma/Login/index.html
Text is:
Dear Customer,
We recently noticed an unusual activity in your iTunes account. Please complete the process to confirm your
informations.
Confirm Now>
This link will expire three days after this email was sent.
If you don’t make this request, your account will be blocked for security reasons.
Apple Support
In my opinion, i think "http://" should be "https://" right? Or Apple should show the link on your website that we can find, re- check and click by ourselve. Or Apple should do "How to confirm apple id" on your main page. ( in fact i'm not sure you already done "How to" on your website yes or not, because I cannot find it)
The apple id is sensitive security, it's concerned personal security and any credit card payment so please understand me that's why i must to interrupt your team to help me to solve this problem. I'm scared my account will be blocked. Please advice me.
Wassa. (BKK)It is a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password.
You should forward it to Apple : [email protected] -
I changed the name of my apple id and now I can't use the app store on my phone correctly because it's using my apple id's old name. I signed out and in on itunes and synced my iphone. Still doesn't work. Help please?
Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with. -
What will happen if I change the name of my Apple Id?
I have only one Apple Id, which is my email address "[email protected]". My Apple Id and primary email are the same. I now have a new email address, and want to change my Apple Id to my new email address. I've been to the Apple Id support page, and have found out how to change the Apple Id on the Apple Id support webpage. I've been reluctant to go through with the process, because I'm unsure as to what the consequences will be if I change my Apple Id. I have an iPhone and an iPad as well as two Macs and an Apple TV hooked up to my Apple Id. My iMac is the main computer used for storing all files and syncing my iOS devices. In addition my contacts and calendar is in the iCloud. I hope someone with the know-how or experience can help me answer the following questions:
1. iPhone and iPad: Once I change my Apple Id, have I understood it correctly when the next thing I do is that I go to General settings -> Store, and sign out from my "old" Apple Id, and then sign in with the new name for my Apple Id? Will my previous purchases of music, ibooks and apps be connected to the new name of my Apple Id, and will I still be able to get previously purchased apps updated? As for iCloud, what must I do on my iPhone and iPad to make sure that contacts and calendars keep in sync?
2. iCloud: Will changing the name of the Apple Id on the Apple Id support webpage be the only thing I need to do, or are there more steps to follow?
3. iMac and MacBook Pro: Am I right in assuming that all I need to do is sign out from the old named account and then sign in with the new name in AppStore, iTunes, FaceTime and Messages app? Is the Apple Id in use by any other apps or functions?
4. Apple TV: Once my iMac is up and running with the new name of the account, I sign out from the old named account, then sign in with the new name, will streaming music and photos etc. work just as before the name change?
5. I still haven't activated Mail in iCloud. As I understand, once you do that you will be prompted to register a @me.com or @icloud.com email address. Will this address now be possible to use instead of my new email address as the name for my Apple Id?
A lot of questions, still I'd be grateful for some answers.Yinghai wrote:
Hi, everyone,
I just began to use TM to back up my mac. I already have a full backup. Now I want to exclude some folder from backup. I can do this in the option dialog of TM. But I wonder what will happen after I add a new exclude folder. Will TM begin to build a new full backup or just continue to back up incrementally from the older full copy? Thanks.
Time Machine will continue to do incremental backups.
It won't immediately delete previous backups of the items you exclude (but it will, eventually). You can do that yourself, if you want, per #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. -
Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace
[email protected]FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.

CHANGE SUPPORT COMMUNITY USERNAME APPLE!
DEAR APPLE,
THERE ARE OVER 20 threads complaining to change there usernames. Can you allow everyone to change there usernames one time, and we have to give a good reason why we want to change it. I have my old user name "Masterkiller247" but I changed my apple I'd to "iCore24". I really really want my username to be "iCore24" to match my apple Id. I don't want to make a fake apple Id and email to just make a new account. Please do something, we've been complaining for years.
Sincerely,
Loyal Apple CustomersThis (abandoning the Name) would be the normal suggested action.
I did wonder if the Hosts had in fact banned the Name but it remained as it had not been changed (An that I was keeping "Alive" by reporting).
As has been said the ID can be changed in some circumstances (Apple Issued IDs such a @mac.com and @me.com cannot along with some IDs linked to iCloud IDs).
However the "Nickname" as it is called on one page is accessible by the Hosts but not the Users
I can understand why Apple do not do this wholesale and basically wish the names were created once and once only.
The Software behind the Apple Support Communities is similar to that used by Facebook
Although Facebook does have a larger user base they do suffer from this problem
http://article.wn.com/view/2012/08/02/BBC_News_Facebook_has_more_than_83_million _fake_users/
I can understand that Apple would want to avoid similar percentages.
They have taken steps to make sure the "Reputation" system cannot be "gamed" to any great extent (people can create second and third (and more) accounts and respond to their own posts and the then award points)
At the same time I can see that people do not always see the notice to say it is permanent.
I also understand that a name that seems cool when you are 13 (youngest you can join) may not be as cool when you are fourteen or even 25
As regular posters we can only say what the current "Rules" are and what you can do the situation.
(mostly Abandon a lowly ranked name and create a new ID and Posting Alias)
And state that we or higher Ranked Poster can "report" the Post. (or the name itself).
20th July this happened

so everytime i try and link my apple id to my macbook (mid 07) it doesnt work and i get the yellow triangle. i recently reset my mac as i forgot my password. in the process i made another user to reset my password. doing this i went through the complete start up of a macbook (from when you buy from new). i dont know if this has anything to do with this problem. but i have now deleted that user.
any help is much appriciated.For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
