I am trying to change the name in my "from" box

I am trying to change the name in my "from" box. My name has changed and although I have changed the name on the account, I can't figure out how to make the default name in my "from" box change from my previous name to my new name.

You may need to know that (in Snow Leopard at least) you specify multiple possible "From" email addresses as a list separated by commas.  Just type them into that little Email Address box*: they'll move over to make room.  Then, on your new messages from that point on, a pop-up menu will appear for the From field.  Neat, eh?
*-- Notice that you can lie in this box.  Your ISP might not let you get away with it, but spammers use this loophole.

  • Trying to change the name of my home page

    This is the first time I have published a website. I just got my first mac last week and I am trying iweb for the first time. I go the sites out there without a problem, but then I decided I wanted my home page to be called "Home" instead of "Welcome. I attempted to change the name of the page and now everything is all screwed up. I made the changes in iweb and am trying to publish and I keep getting error messages. HELP!!!!!

    ldysnwbdr,
    Just change the name in the Site Organizer to your left in iWeb, and from the file menu, choose File/Publish All to .Mac.
    If you continue to get error messages post pack and tell us what they are. You may find a little help with error messages here.

  • Trying to change the name of 1 file

    I have searched the topic and have not found a solution that works for me,
    I am trying to write an AppleScript that will change the name of a single file from path:old.txt to path:new.txt
    I have tried
    tell application "Finder"
    set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
    end tell
    among others and always either receive an error message, access denied or unable to set old file name to new file name

    You're missing the point.
    set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
    When you set the name of the file, the Finder needs two things - the original file that you're trying to rename, and the new name you want it to take.
    In your revised script you're specifying the existing name (not path) of the file you want to change, and specifying its path along with the new name. That's the wrong way around.
    Think of this command in the following manner:
    set name of (original file specification) to (new file name)
    Now, in the case of the 'original file specification' you need to provide enough information for the Finder to identify the file. You're just saying 'work.txt', but that is not enough (and that's why it's complaining). There could be a hundred 'work.txt' files spread around in different directories on your disk. How is the Finder supposed to know which one you want to change?
    A better format would be:
    tell application "Finder"
      set name of (file "work.txt" of path to desktop) to "ABC.txt"
    end tell
    In this way the Finder can absolutely identify which file you want to change (the file 'work.txt' that's on your desktop) and the new name you want it to take.
    Now, if the file is not on your desktop you can amend the script to include the relevant path, e.g.:
    tell application "Finder"
      set name of (file "work.txt" of folder "blah" of disk "disk name") to "ABC.txt"
    end tell
    This tells the Finder to look in the folder 'blah' on the specified disk.
    You can also do this by including the path to the file in the form:
    tell application "Finder"
      set name of (file "disk name:blah:work.txt) to "ABC.txt"
    end tell
    where you use : to delimit each folder in the path.
    Hope that helps.

  • I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

    And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

    There is a backup plan after doing the Restore.  Read this.

  • Trying to change the name to the itunes account and made one myself because my sister use to use my computer and updating my apps where under her email now that i made my own i cant update anything on my phone its still showing my sisters email.

    basically my sister used my computer and everytime we had to update our apps it would be her email thats showing and thats when i knew that pw. since shes doesnt use it anymore i made my own and now it wont let me update it its still showing hers.

    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 your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password.  To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address.  You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID.  After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
    Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device.  If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete.  If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

  • How do I change the name of file from save in web receipts folder?

    I use safari to do online banking and when I have paid a bill or transferred money and when it is complete I use save to web receipts folder to keep a record of the transaction.
    The problem is that the page always has the same name so there is only the record of the last transaction for that service. Does anyone know a way to change the same of the file that is saved?

    Hi DPertovt,
    After you download/save the file to your destination folder where you keep your records, only select the file ones an rename/chance the file name, date anything you like.
    Good luck ...

    Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
    And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?
    Diane

    Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick".  If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
    As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

  • 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 of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention.  This is so some program functionality will work for the new box.  I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
    Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Joanne

    Hi Joanne,
    Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
    Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

  • How do I change the name of my hard drive which the photos and libraries are located on without having to relink and recreate folders for photos?

    When I have tried to change the name of my hard drive which my photos and catalog are stored on, when I try and access the new catalog in the new destination yet still same physical hard drive it unlinks all the photos and the folder structure.
    Any way to keep the photos or at least the year folders so as to more easily relink?

    In the Library module, in the Folders tab on the left, do a right-click "show parent" until you can see the root of the drive.
    From there, if you cannot rename the drive from there, then rename it in the OS finder/explorer. Then you just need to reconnect that one root directory or drive entry and Lightroom will do all the work for you.

  • How do I change the name of the Home folder OSX 10.9

    Hi there,
    I am trying to change the name of the Home folder on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9  I had a clean install of 10.9, and used migration assistant to restore my settings from a Time Machine Backup. 
    The problem is that the Home folder for my user is now named "Cody 1" when it used to be "Cody".  This seems like a minor issue, but all the programs that reference data in the old location, are forcing me to go and find the data manually.  Everything from iPhoto to VirtualBox, all files have to be found manually. 
    I have tried the instructions set forth in this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428, but the dialog that should, according to the article, allow me to redirect the account to the existing folder, returns an error saying that the user name is already in use.  There is no option to use the existing folder.  I have tried re-naming the folder to something different, to no avail. 
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance. 
    -Cody

    The Apple Support document you referenced is cumbersome, outdated, buggy, and too likely to result in the sort of problems you described.
    It may be too late now but see the following:
    Niel's post here: How to change name of home folder
    and:
    Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini found an astonishingly simple way to accomplish what you seek. etresoft distilled that information into the following User Tip:
    Changing user account short name
    Note that he writes it has been tested on Mountain Lion but the procedure appears sound and should work equally well with Mavericks.
    Back up your system before doing either one.
    To fix what happened might be possible in Single user mode. I don't have specific instructions but you should be able to find and delete user accounts in the /Users directory.
    Type carefully and don't proceed without knowing the risks.

    Sorry, I'm not sure what "account" you're referring to. If you mean the Apple ID you're using, it would be better to set up a new one rather than trying to change the name on your father's Apple ID. If you really need to, though, go here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If that's not the account you're referring to, please clarify what it is you wish to change.
