Mail changes my name to some odd contact or calendar group

For some strange reason Mail is showing my name as "Holidays in the United States" over the last week or so - prior to that it was "Gateway Tenants Action."  The "Holidays ..." name is one of my calendar groups and the "Gateway ..." name is one of my Contract groups.  I don't have the slightest idea why this is happening and I cannot find any relation between these names and myself in any part of the Contacts program.  I had thought this was a bug in Mavericks but it is happening in Yosemite too.  Any suggestions????????
[iOS 10.10, Mail 9.0, Contacts 9.0 on a Mac Mini [late 2012].

This was driving me nuts too! Mine has been saying "Holiday In The United States" for several weeks.
Here's what I did and seems to be solved for now:
In Mail, click on the "Holiday In The United States" label (should have a little down arrow), so you get the dropdown menu.
Select "Remove from Previous Recipients List"
Close and re-open Mail
After doing this, I'm now just seeing my email address. Hope this helps!

  • Mail Changing Attachment Names

    Does anyone find that their Mac Mail changes attachment names into something like ??Q?documentname?=? so you are unable to open them unless you rename and save?
    I think I have narrowed it down to only happening with attachments that have a long(ish!) filename.  It only happens when a Mac computer recieves.  Doesn't matter if a Mac or Windows machine sends the mail.
    Any help appreciated as 50% of my attachments are coming through in this format.  V frustrating!

    Are you sure your RECEIVING email client isn't doing the conversion?
    Thank you for the help.
    It wasn't actually the email client at the other end, but rather a third-party photo app on my iPad - Photogene.
    I had been sending the screenshot as an email attachment from within Photogene. It seems that this app was converting it to the JPEG format. When I simply chose the image from the Camera Roll - directly in the Mail app - the PNG format was kept.
    Thanks again.

    but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well.
    I'm afraid that you can't sync content to an iOS device via Home Sharing (you can only stream it to an iOS device via Home Sharing).

  • Recently my iPhone 4 has started to delete the content of messages as soon as I open them and also is changing the names of some of my contacts from the name that I give them to their email addresses and all of this is without any input from me help!

    My iPhone 4 has started to delete the content of messages automatically as soon as I open them and is also changing some of my contact names from their names to their email addresses. Help!

    I've had the same problem with the names being changed to email addresses.Did you ever find out how to stop this ?

  • I'm in several linkedin groups, all which send mail using the same email address. How can I change the Name of the sender to reflect individual groups?

    The email address used to send emails is "[email protected]" But I'm in at least five different groups. How can I set up Thunderbird to differentiate between them?

    you can't really, but you might be able to filter them by message content into folders for each, or color them with tags

  • Address Book/Mail: sending to two addresses from one contact in a group

    I would like to send an e-mail to two addresses from address book, but it is only one contact/family name. It seems it only lets you pick one for a group. Does anyone know how to pick multiple e-mail address for one contact name/family in a group so I don't have to manually look up each name?
    Thank you!

    Rather than dragging the card in from the Address Book, start typing the person's name. Mail will give you a pop-up menu on choices. Pick one. Then repeat and pick the other. This is less convenient if you want to put someone in a group and send to both addresses in the group... in that case, V.K.'s solution is the best you'll do.

  • Mail change address book!

    hello, excuse me for my BAD english...
    I have big problem with my address book:
    i have a imac 27" and macbook air with snow leopard and 1 iphone 3gs.
    i have, also mobile me and I sync with mobile me address book, calendar and more...!
    It is very very good for me BUT I have a problem.
    Sometimes some contact CHANGE name!
    I have do many tests and I have see THAT IT'S MAIL program that CHANGE some contact name when I send an e-mail at this contact!!
    for example: I have 200 contact. 5 of this have an e-mail. the other only number...
    I send an e-mail with Mail program from my imac to one of this contact...for example John Mcdonald...
    immediatly MAIL change the name of John Mcdonald in my address book. (and mobileme change the name on my iphone and on my macbook air...!) the name often change to John mc donald john mcdonald (repeat two times...) or john john mcdonald...or, for other contact change to CAPITAL (JOHN MCDONALD).
    so, in my test on this BUG I have connected this problem to adressees precedence on MAIl program...If I empty this "adressees precedence" I don't have the problem...but I need to empty every day...2-3 times a day...!
    I hope You can help me...!
    I hope apple can resolve this BUG: WHY MAIL program CAN modify MY ADDRESS BOOK??! MY ADDRESS BOOK is MINE!
    do you have this problem?

    how do you manage a business contact in order to overide the problems before said related to the union mail/address book?
    There is no problem with Mail and Address book regarding this except the fact that the OP is trying to conflate a perfectly normal behavior into something abnormal. This is not a bug, no matter what anyone else may think. It may be inconvenient to the thinking of some people, but it's not a bug.
    Address Book is meant for keeping contact information of individuals, with their given first and last names. It is not for keeping information in any fashion you like. Failing to adhere to the design of the program will yield unexpected or unwanted results. It's not a free-form database, nor was it ever intended to be, so people need to stop trying to use it as such.
    I seem to manage my contacts quite well without problems by simply entering their given names, along with their company name (where applicable) in the Company field, and their email address(es). I've never had a problem yet.
    There is a way to completely disable this behavior, but it would also have the effect of forcing you to completely type the full email address(es) of your recipients each time you send an email.

  • Export from SP list to Excel: Excel doesn't show changed colum name. It shows only the original column names, which would be done by the column creation.

    Hello,
    I have an excel list with some columns. I changed the name of some of the column. When I export this list to excel, I always get the first column name, which was created by the creation of the column, and not the new one.
    Is there some possibility to export a SP list to export with the new column names?
    I'm waiting for your help,
    BR
    Damian

    Hi Damian,
    I tested in my environment, change the column name and export to excel list, the exported field name is the correct one.
    Please check the column name from somewhere else from site UI, you could check from SharePoint designer or powershell script.
    [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
    $site= New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite ("http://siteurl")
    $web=$site.OpenWeb()
    $list=$web.Lists["CustomList"]
    $list.Fields |select ID, title, internalname| more
    In addition, I wonder if the issue occurs to all lists or one specific list. If the issue only occurs to one list, please try to save this list as template and create a new list based on this list and test the issue again.

  • Mail makes new name for attachment

    When I send an word (or pdf) attachement to somebody, Mail changes the name. When it is a word document the name changes from "xxxx.doc" into "xxxx.dococ" and a pdf-file from "yyyy.pdf" into "yyyy.pdfdf". The recipient can not read the document. Does anybody knows what to do?

    Same problem... make me feel really unprofessional for my custommer...
    Here is what is written in the help file of the Mail Attachments Iconizer :
    File name extensions are corrupted.
    This is a bug in certain versions of Mac OS X unrelated to Mail Attachments Iconizer. When there are non-ASCII characters (e.g. ä, é or ®)™ in the file name Mail often corrupts the file name extension (e.g. .pdf, .jpg or .doc) which is often necessary to determine the file type.
    Workaround: The bug seems to be fixed in the recent Mac OS X updates (as of version 10.5.4). Additionaly it is more safe in general to only use ASCII characters in attachment file names. (ASCII characters include unaccented letters of the Latin alphabet, digits, basic punctuation and spaces.)
    I removed the "é" in the file name and it has worked... hope I don't get the problem again... and hopefully the bug will be corrected in further version... (I have Mac OS X 10.5.5 and still have the bug...)

  • Changing a name of attributes

    When I use bean ViewCurrentRecord (from JDeveloper), how can I change a name of some attributes (eg. I dont want to see Emp, I want to see Employee)
    null

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by APC ([email protected]):
    this is what the properties in the ViewObject are for. You can type in textt for the label e.g. EMP_LABEL Employee
    Note that there is a bug in previous versions of JD whereby this only works for columns without underscores e.g. EMPNO but not EMP_NO. This is because the attribute names are rendered without underscores i.e. EMP_NO becomes EmpNo; the labels are formatted using column name e.g. EMP_NO by the field renderer uses attribute name i.e. EmpNo.
    You can fix this bug yourself but I'm hoping it's fixed in JD3.2.3

  • Transport change of names using a program

    I am running an SAP defined routine ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES on the table RSZCOMPDIR and will change the name of some of the duplicated query names.  How can I ensure that this change is transported? Thanks

    Hi Niten,
    Normally the transports would overwrite the existing changes. However you can also specify that the already existing changes needs to be overwitten. After you release the request and use your transport mechanism you would find the options and one of the options is "overwrite". But different clients use different transport mechanism so you may not be using it. Anycase just transport and check in the Target system.
    Bye

  • ITunes does not recognize Outlook 2007 contacts or calendar

    I have a PC running Vista and Outlook 2007. I have Microsoft Exchange Server, and local Oulook with a Personal folder with contact and calendar groups. I do not have a business account on my new iPhone 3G. I just want to bring over my personal contacts and calendar. When I connect the phone (without being connected to MS Exchange Server), iTunes does not give me a choice of any of my personal contacts or calendar groups. It only shows me the Exchange Server "calendar" and "contacts". I went ahead and did a sunch of the calendar, and got the Exchange Server calendar. This is not what I wanted.
    I would imagine other people have the same configuration and want to do the same thing, hoping someone solved this. iPhone tech support has not been able to solve it yet. It seems like iTunes can't recognize my personal folders.
    I hope someone might have an answer. Thanks for reading my issue.

  • My e-mail has changed, but I purchashed some songs in iTunes using my old e-mail address as my account name... so when I try to play the sonngs I bought and paid for - it keeps asking me to authorize my PC first, but I don't remember the password!

    My e-mail has changed, but I purchashed some songs in iTunes using my old e-mail address as my account name... so when I try to play the sonngs I bought and paid for - it keeps asking me to authorize my PC first, but I don't remember the password! And since the old e-mail address is no longer active, I can't even chenge the password- becasue it's sends the link to do so via e-mail!  Even when I use the "ask personal questions" option to verify and it asks me for my date of birth, I put it in and it still won't acccept.
