ICloud email. Why name does't change?

I changed my Apple ID. But when I send email with a help of iCloud I see that the previuos ID remains the same though I already started to use new Apple ID. For example - [email protected] this email I used as an Apple ID before. Than I changed email, for instance it looks like this [email protected] And inthe settings I deleted [email protected] and [email protected] I set up as a primary one. So the problem is that when I email, the old email address is shown - like this [email protected] Why the name did not change and how can I change it ? I want it to look like that [email protected] The name which changed and wish to be shown in the iCloud email

Changing your AppleID has no effect on the @me.com iCloud email address attached to it.
The username of your @hotmail.ru email account is not connected with your @me.com account username.
The only way to get a different @me.com iCloud email address is to setup a whole new iCloud account, or setup an email alias within your existing iCloud account.

TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

HT4623 icloud email account name change iphone 4s

Hello have been using iphone 4s and icloud email. I changed my email address and password how do i reset my icloud account email on my iphone 4s?

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

start new conversations is my cell phone number that is checked and the two emails but they are not checked.
Also- another note-When my husband puts me in his contacts and tries to put my email address in it changes It from email to work or home number
More than likely, your husband is trying to add your phone number to an email designated field in contacts.
What app are those recipients using to open the message that seems to be an email? The Mail app? or Messages?

HT204053 I was using my husbands iCloud email. How do I change iCloud email to my iTunes email

I was using my husbands email address and iCloud and want to change to my address. I've changed iTunes but can't change iCloud email. Any ideas on how to change it

It only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud. This won't effect his account of device(s). W
Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to Keep or Delete the iCloud data. If you need to migrate a copy of the data to your new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing back in with your new ID to upload the data to your new account.
Deleting the account will delete the photo stream photos from your device. If you want to keep them, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (square with up arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.

I just got my iCloud email address and wish to change it. Is this possible?

I just got my iCloud email address and would like to change it to something more meaningful to me. Is this possible?

No, except by signing up for a new account.

HT202667 I am ditching my non-Apple email address and want to stop using it. My husband's ID is his icloud email, why can't mine be?

I don't want to run two email addresses and want to use my icloud email address for all correspondence. Itunes keeps sending me emails to my old address and it won't let me change my Apple ID to my icloud address. My husband's is using his without any issues. Is there a way round this?

I'm afraid not. While people who started with iTools or MobileMe had their @mac.com/@me.com (and now @icloud.com) address as the ID from the start, and people who open a new Apple ID and iCloud account at the same time from the iCloud preference pane can choose to make the @icloud.com address the ID, if it's the case that your ID is a non-Apple email address you can change it to another non-Apple email address but you cannot change it to your @icloud.com address.
You can of course set up forwarding from the ID address to the @icloud.com address so that you only have to look in one place. However you should be aware that if the setup means that you can only be contacted by Apple at the @icloud.com address, then if you have a problem such as a forgotten password or a corrupted account, Apple can only contact you at an address you cannot access so it's essential to have a 'rescue address'.

ICloud emails showing name and email address

Is it possible to get the display to just show my name and not the address i.e. John Doe instead of John Doe <[email protected]>? My other emails only show names (Exchange and POP account).

Email account name how to change

When I send an email from my blackberry the recipient sees "Dear Account User" as the Sender instead of my name...how can I fix this?

Thank you. It is a personal phone, so yes I am using BIS. I have my email with sympatico (Canada) and its the same email address I use on my desktop. In settings (setup) it shows my email address and then user Name as my name..yet when I send an email it reads "Dear Account User" on the incoming mail "From" line. Very frustrating. I have reinstalled the OS.

Is it possible for an email Acc name to be changed by a virus ?

My wife's email account appears to have been hijacked. When she sends an email, it is received ok, the address of the sender is "Microsoft Forum Microsoft Account"

iphones do not tend to get viruses unless they have been jailbroken. I guess your wife's email account has been hacked. I would change passwords.

Why name does appear on forum although I asked to hide it ?

All is in the title : my name appears on all adobe forums although I asked my profile not to do it...
Thanks

I don't see what's the big deal about the Names. I don't care whether people see my screen name or my Real name. I have nothing to hide and don't have enough money to make it worthwhile to steal. I am not wanted by law enforcement, FBI, CIA, Interpol. I paranoid about putting in Junk in folders to be emptied that anything that looks fishy and if I come across any Phishing Attempts, I report them to the party being Phished. I've been getting less and less spam because I take a Proactive approach to Malware , Spam and Phishing. So if they are familiar with my name and know that I turn them every time they send me Junk, they will tend to steer clear.
The hiding behind screen names has always been silly. If someone wants to know about and has the smarts they can take your IP address and and find out everything about you down to the toilet paper you use. I use screen names on sites that require screen names. But only because it required.
