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 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.

  • "The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open.  Please try again".  How do I fix this?

    Digital editions is set-up and accepting books.  Everything seems fine except when I try to open the books, it asks for authorisation.  I enter the Adobe ID which works when I go into the Adobe site, but gives me the error "The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open.  Please try again".  How do I fix this?

  • 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" !!!

    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.

  • How can I change the name associated with an email address?

    I assumed an existing account but would like to change the tag name associated with it. Right now it is still showing up as a colleague's name.

    Hi Rossion,
    Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation. There should be a settings menu that allows you to change your personal account information.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My "from" address shows up wrong when people receive my emails

    I have looked at how my emails show up on friends systems -- the @mac.com is on there twice. my [email protected]@mac.com.
    Under mail preferences>accounts my user name is entered correctly. Is there anywhere else that could be typed incorrectly that could be causing this problem? I do eventually get replies -- but no one thinks I do because it bounces back to them and they get an error message.
    Please help -- no one wants to reply to my messages anymore

    Hi CassC
    In Mail 1.3.11 Preferences>Accounts
    description
    email address e.g. [email protected]
    full name
    incoming mail server
    user name e.g cass
    password
    In the user name box, just enter your email account name as shown in the above example, ie without the @mac.com.
    In the full name box put in your real name, like Bill Smith, or just Bill for better privacy. This name will appear in the 'from' field of the email when the recipient gets it.
    Check that your incoming mail server and outgoing mail server's addresses are correct/
    Click on Server Settings. Normally those extra boxes for username and password should be left blank.
    Now if you are a .mac member, goto System Preferences and click on the .Mac icon.
    There you will see your .Mac Member Name and Password
    Check to see that your .Mac Member Name has just your user name, ie without the @mac.com.
    Post back to let me know your progress.
    regards roam

  • How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

    I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
    Thanks.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • How do I change the name associated with my email account on my PC?

    My mothers name is what appears when I send emails instead of mine.  I have found directions on how to change the name on a Mac but I have a PC. It is rather frustrating because I send out business emails and often times the receiver does not look at my signature block but instead replies to me addressing me by her name.

    By that you mean you log into the iCloud.com website?    Or are you using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
    If you log into iCloud.com in your web browse, What name Appears at the top right corner when in Mail?
    If you use an email client which one?

  • 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.

  • 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 to get username from audible account if one is associated with the store account

    So, I noticed, while de-authorizing a previous computer of an itunes store account, that an audible account was available for deauthorization as well.  I never authorized an audible account, and I'm not getting any help from apple about retaining a username if you never created one.  shady

    Have you ever had an account with audible.com ? If not then you won't have one to deauthorise - the option to deauthorise one shows in the Advanced menu on my iTunes, even though I haven't currently got one authorised on it. If you have got an audible account and you have authorised it on that computer then Apple won't know what it is, as the account would be with audible.com, not Apple.
