Icloud Restore Wrong acct associated with my username

So I just restored my iphone since it has been having multiple issues. And during the setup of restore when I logged into my icloud with my username and password it pulled my ex husband's acct log in and asked me for his password. I of course do not have it. And the weirdest part is that I purchased this phone after being divorced for almost 3 years, so it should have absolutely NO association with his acct. Now I am being forced to skip restoring from my icloud acct with the iTunes. Is there some way to fix the log in info it is asking me for?

No, this means that Activation Lock was activated using your ex-husbands account and unfortunately this means that you have to ask your ex-husband for the password in order to get your phone working again.

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem.

How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com). Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account. If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID, it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address.
How do I:
1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one.

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.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
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.

Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

HT204053 I have reset my apple ID and the password, but I am still getting an error message saying: wrong account associated with the current ID and password! Any thoughts as to why?

I have reset my apple id and password, but I am still getting an error message indicating, "wrong account associated with this id/password" !!!
Any thoughts as to why?

What exactly do you mean by the statement that you have reset your Apple ID and password. I am not familiar with being able to reset and Apple ID.

If i restore a user folder from time machine. is it just restoring all files associated with the user or programs also?

If i restore a user folder from time machine, is it just restoring the files associated with the user or programs as well? Im asking because Apple Store just reset my system and said to restore files i needed and not to do a full restore. to try and determine if it was a software issue causing the problems.

Just the user's folder. Nothing else. See Pondini's TM FAQs, for details.

Are multiple email accounts backed up to iCloud or just one associated with my AppleID?

Are multiple email accounts backed up to iCloud or just one associated with my AppleID?

The iCloud backup will include the settings for all your Mail accounts (but not the email itself) if that's what your asking. The iCloud mail server only includes your iCloud mail. The mail from other accounts is stored on the servers with these other accounts.

Wrong Name Associated With iPhone

Hey guys,
I just recently used the new Maps app on my iPhone 4S (iOS 7) to text somebody my location when I noticed the name that came up on the link/picture is wrong. My name is Ryan and my last name begins with an S, and since I also have a friend on my contacts list with the same first name (Ryan) and last letter of last name (S) the phone somehow thinks that that individual is me. I also noticed that next to my friends name in the contacts list it says "me". I have no idea how to fix this! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tip! I would have done that right now but i deleted him off my contact list since i thought it might have somehow fixed the problem but its still registering as my friend.

Need to change icloud account - wrong acct on iPhone 4S

On my new iPhone 4S, my APPLE account id & password were used to setup my iCloud account (thank you Sprint Store!). All of my information was in my MobileMe account which is now the ID & Password that must be on the iPhone to access that information. I see no way to change the iCloud ID & Password on the iPhone. HELP!
Thank you.

Check your contacts on icloud.com. If your contacts are gone from icloud.com all you can do is restore them from a backup, if you have one.
If you backed up either of the other devices to iCloud while the contacts were still on them, you may be able to recover them by restoring that device to its last backup. Follow the steps in this user tip to do this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Wrong preview associated with an image

I just imported my iPhoto library as referenced files. Ir, they are still stored in iPhoto
There is a weird random error in the Browser for the thumbnail images. Some images correctly show in the Viewer, but show incorrectly in the browser.
How can this happen?
The incorrect image in the Browser is not even from the same event.
Any thoughts?

Technically yes there are.
I have photos with a lower-case dsc_ and the same uppercase DSC_
This seems to be the main problem - a solution I am trying to work out how to resolve now.. so
A question: How does Aperture normally handle "same name" photos like when a camera restarts it's numbering after downloading the photos ?
Are there any recommendations to resolving it (there are in excess of 5,000 clashes).

Wrong name associated with my account

Running iChat 4.0, OS X 10.5.1 with my gmail account. I attempted to add a buddy (my aunt) and apparently did so incorrectly. Her name never showed up on my buddy list, and now when I set my account to "View as Name", HER name shows up instead of mine. I've tried deleting the account and starting over, but it must be cached somewhere because it keeps doing this. I've found several plist files related to iChat, but none of them have her name in them, so I don't think that's where it's getting this information.
Anyone have any ideas?

I hate when this happens.... I no sooner finished typing the initial post, when I decided to try one more thing, changing the "Description" field in the preferences. This worked. Oddly, the previous data in that field was NOT my aunt's name, but was my gmail account. Nevertheless, when I changed it to my name, it fixed the issue.
Just wanted to update this in case anyone else ran into this issue.

How do I change the names associated with numbers on my bill

I have multiple numbers on my bill that have the wrong names associated with them. I have tried calling *611 only to wait and then be disconnected. I am the account owner and am unable to locate where to correct the information.

Online, in My Verizon / View Usage / Minutes / Breakdown of Recent Activity / Current Call Log for Line / Select a Line, a log of calls incoming and outgoing since the last billing date are shown. For years, I would be able to click on the blue telephone number and a popup box would show up to Add/Update Nick Name. I would type in a name, for example, Mom and then click on Add/Update and the name would then replace the number in the listing. As of two months ago, I can still do this EXCEPT the name will NOT replace the number! This is so irritating as I have been assning names to the numbers for years for ease of search and identifying the calls. I have call ed Customer Servcie at least htree times on this issue. I have tried to Add/Edit Nick Name in two odfferent browsers (Internet Explorer as well as Firefox) and I have tried it on two dofferent laptops in two diofferent wireless networks. So I know it is NOT an issue with my hardware or networks. The issue is on Verizon's end. I am puzzled that others have not complained. Maybe I am the only doofud that likes to assign names to the numbers? But I would be most grateful if someone within the Community or Verizon's Customer Servcie can resolve this issue once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
