ICloud email name not being changed

Every time I send an email from my computer or iCloud.com it goes out with my old name in the "from" box. I updated my name associated with my apple id a couple years ago but iCloud has never made the change and it is becoming a bother. Any suggestions?

Mail Preferences > Accounts, select the account then the Account Information tab and change the alias to whatever you want to use.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

My icloud email will not load

Hi!
My icloud email will not load.
     On any computer, Mac or PC at the icloud.com it will not load and sends an error message to apple.
     On my Mac it states that my password or email address is incorrect. This is not true as I have changed it and all other apple accounts work.
     On my iPhone it states my password is incorrect--it is not, again I have checked and re-entered it numerous times.
I have checked and done all the troubleshooting I can find.
I have checked all the communities and it seems some others are experiencing this same problem.
I have called apple support and (of course) they want me to pay for someone to help me--which I would do if this was an issue with my hardware or software.
I have an appointment today with the genius bar at my local store.
I believe this is an apple icloud server issue.
I would not be posting if this had not been happening since Christmas day. It has been over a week since I have been able to retrieve my email.
If anyone can help that would be wonderful, but please do not refer me to the troubleshooting pages as I have researched them extensively.
Thank you!

This same thing started for me today as well: None of my devices (iMac, MacBook 2 iPhones, iPad, 2 Apple TV's) which require Apple ID to work for mail, etc., would work this morning. I kept getting a message that my password or email address was incorrect. I was also notified my Apple ID password had "a security problem" and needed to be changed.
I was reluctant to change the password with my Apple ID, since I have been using it for nearly ten years, and will clearly never forget it. However, this old password only has six characters, all lower case. Apple now seems to want a password with at least eight characters, one of which is capitalized, etc. I went ahead and changed to a new 2012-model password, following Apple's guidelines, and voila, once I changed to that password on all of my devices they all work as they should!
What the heck? I guess I didn't have anything better to do between 10:00 and 11:00 am today anyway. While this seems like the right fix, I would have preferred it if Apple had sent out an advance notification that they are requiring more rigorous passwords, rather than just rejecting our old ones as a New Year's present. It would have saved some head scratching.

forgot apple id security question answers - reset email is not being sent to email addresses

Hi there,
Why dont you just change your Apple ID (your email)? Make a new Apple ID and do the security questions that you will remember. Also, make sure you write down all the info with your Apple ID for later refrence.
To create a new Apple ID, follow the easy steps below:
Settings > Itunes and App stores > Tap "Apple ID: (YOUR APPLE ID IS HERE!)" > Tap "Sign Out" > Tap "Create New Aple ID"

Changes in itunes not being changed on my iphone4s

Changes made on the iphone control feature in itunes, say add a song to a playlist or add an artist, are not being changed on the phone. Any ideas? thanks.

Hello there, imasummergirl.
Great job, troubleshooting your issue so far. You may want to try manually updating your iTunes Match using the steps found in this article to see if that helps correct your issue:
How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version for free.
Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu, choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
Once iTunes has completed processing the album artwork, you'll need to update iTunes Match.
From the iTunes menu, choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
In your instance you can skip steps 3 & 4, as your issue doesn't involve Album Artwork.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My icloud email is not working on any of my devices (pc, iphone, ipad). For 2 days now. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I called Apple this morning, they told me that they restored "half" of the people affected last night and the next update will be 11 am EST. Very frustrating to say the least!

Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?
Happy Holidays

ICloud email is not working in Safari

Consistently getting popup message:
"Cannot load Inbox". Messages cannot be dispalyed at thei time."
This is happening for a couple of hours.
APPLE, let's get this fixed. It is a problem with iCloud or Safari, not sure which. No longer able to reset cache in Safari so that can't work.
Anybody else having same problem?

Roger, I dont think its as simple as that. I migrated from MobileMe months ago when Lion first came out. I am on Lion 10.7.3 on a MacBook Pro, an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S with the latest version of iOS5, they are all setup for iCloud not MobileMe, and iCloud email has not been working for two days on any of these devices. All my other iCloud services work just fine. Mail settings show the iCloud incoming server as p01-imap.mail.me.com and is not editable. So it may be related to MobileMe migrators, but it still seems that the problem is server side?
I specifically aimed my last post at people who had migrated on a pre-Lion Mac. The fact that jeffreyfromwa was attempting to connect with the MobileMe server setting is a strong indication that he fell into this class and that this was a probable cause.
People like yourself with Lion are in a different boat (he may find himself in it when he amends his server settings): there have been numerous complaints along these lines, though it's not applicable globally. It may well be a server problem in which case there's not much you can do except wait.
People who don't post their system (that's everyone in this thread except you) make it difficult to answer since the behaviour on Lion is different from earlier systems, and the problem specific to earlier systems needs to be addressed first.

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

Emails are not being sent on Document sharing

Hi everyone,
I have a created a documnt library and made it available for users. The issue is that emails are not being sent when a user creates/Uploads a document and share it with other users. Please refer below screenshot.
Further, emails from approval workflows are being sent properly.
Do i have to look into exchange server or sharepoint needs to be configured?
Please suggest a workaround.
Thanks
-Ahmed Khan

Hi ,
Based on your description, my understanding is that emails are not being sent when a user share a document with other users.
I have done a test on my SharePoint 2013, I can’t reproduce the issue.
Did all users not receive the emails? You should check outgoing email for a SharePoint 2013 farm.
Here is a link about how to Configure outgoing email for a SharePoint 2010 farm, you can take a look at:

MacBook Pro name is being changed by adding ()

MacBook Pro name is being changed by adding () after the name and incrementally increasing the number in (). I am using Yosemite. I cannot determine what causes the number to be increased, but I am at 13 after resetting it this morning. This prevents my iOS devices from syncing wirelessly as they are looking for a different name. I have reset the name several times and this continues to occur.
I first noticed this issue during the Yosemite beta and reported it as an issue.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

I had this happen also. I reset my router and the problem stopped.
regards
