If I change the name of my app, will users still receive updates?

I want to update teh name of my iPhone application. However I heard that if I do, all current users will no longer receive automatic updates when I update the app.
Is this true and still the case?
Thanks

  • Can you change the name of an app on the 4S?

    Cannot find info in the manual but I thought that I read it somewhere. Is there a way to change the name of purchased apps? I know you can change folder names but what about app names?? Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    To the best of my knowledge you can't alter any app in any way, including the name. Not sure why you would want to do so, but you can always just delete the app and add it back without additional costs whenever you need to use it...not sure if that would address your reasoning for wanting to change the name of the app though.

  • After changing the email address to my appleid I still receive emails about purchases on the old email (as well as the new).

    I recently changed the email address that was my Appleid. I verified it and followed all the steps the web told me to do. I signed out of itunes on my laptop and back in. I signed out of everything and back in on my ipod touch.
    Today I made my first purchase since that change, it was on a new computer. I authorized that computer and went through the steps itunes asked me for, password, security questions and so forth. I received an email stating a purchase had been made on a new computer.
    The problem is that I also received the same email at my old email address as well as the new one.
    When I check my appleid on the internet it says that only the new email is associated with the appleid. Which is how I want it. Why did the old email address get the mail as well as the new? Is there any way to stop that from happening in the future?

    Erasing and resetting the network settings in the phone seems to have done the trick.  Facetime is now working again.
    Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
    I did not have to remove all data from the phone.

    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.

  • Change the name of an image file in Photos app

    Just wondering how you change the name of an image file in the new 2015 Photos app?

    The only way to change the filename of an image is to export the image with a new filename:  When exporting you can select the title a s a new filename.
    Then reimport the renamed file to Photos and delete the original version.

  • My husbands password was used to download Extreme 777 app. I would like to change the name and purchase point under my password, but it won't let me without purchasing new app. If I do this , I must delete current app and lose all my credits and start ove

    My husband's password was used to download app. ( Extreme 777) onto my ipad 2. I have now changed  the apple ID to my own, but I cannot use my $20.00 credit in itune on this app. It says app. was purchased under another ID and i must purchase app. in my ID. I tried going back to his ID to redemm $ 20.00, but gift cards were redeemed under my new ID, therefore leaving 0 balance under his ID. If I purchase app again, I will lose all current credits on this app. Anyway to change the name on original download or transfer credits to new app?. Thanks

    Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot use your AppleID to add credit to an app purchased
    under your husband's AppleID. You must either download the
    app under your AppleID (in effect starting over) or add credit to
    his account.

  • How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??

    I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want.  If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>.  Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association. 
    It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser.  If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]>  And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac.  That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses.  Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.

    Can I change the name associated with an ipod on my Mac?
    Select the iPod in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name.
    And can there be more than one iPod on one computer?
    Yes.

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I change the name of my IMAC

    I purchased a new IMAC i7, a little over a year ago.  Transfered the files/programs from my older IMAC to the new one using Migration.  Shortly after that the hard drive went out and I brought it in to be replaced.  The guy at Genius bar said they changed the name of my computer when they reloaded OSX onto the machine.   I then had to reload everything from the old hard drive which I had backed up prior to the failure.  Permission issues have been a problem but through some help from the Genius bar I was able to get past that.  Now, when I sign into my computer I have a User name and password that has never changed.  Works fine.  I tried to set up a VNC and used a program that told me what information I had to use, based on a scan of my Imac.  It gave me the UserName of the computer that the Genius Bar had changed it to, way back when.  That doesn't work and won't let me connect.   I typed "whoami" into the Terminal and it gives me my signin name and the computer name together.  Computer name is in ().  So after reading some entrees here I go to preferences>sharing and it gives a third name as my computer name.   So, how do I get this Imac to a single name?  I don't care which name, just a name that can be recognized by the VNC. 
    Thanks

    Ok, thanks.  I changed the name to the name that the Apple Store had assigned the computer when I had the internal drive replaced.   I then purchased a third app for VNC, and that worked, since the app I had would still not recognize the computer.  So I appear to be able to access my computer from anywhere on my IPAD.
    Thanks
