May I change my name on my iCloud account?

May I change my name on my iCloud account so that the name on my outgoing email is different than it is?
Currently in Mail Preferences the FULL NAME option is greyed out so I can't change it in Mail...

Are you asking about the full name associated with the email address?
For your iCloud Mail you can change the full name for your mail account at https://www.icloud.com/
Click the Mail.app icon, and in the Mail panel click the "Gears" icon in the lower left corner of the panel to open the Preferences. In the "accounts" panel select your account and change the "full Name" for your Mail account.

  • How can i change de name of my icloud account?

    Here's the problem.  I've been using the same itunes account for years.  It's on my girlfriends name.
    Since I've been using my macbook pro for my company, everythime I send an ical invitation to someone they see her name instead of my name.
    So my question is:
    How can I change the name of the icloud account?  or How can I change the config of ical so it will only invite people from my email adress and not the icloud adress?
    thanks

    You could set up a new account in "Settings > iCloud" and use that for email and calendar (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

  • TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My iPhone is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?

    My iPhone 4S (iOS8) is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?
    My phone shows my name plus iCloud old iCloud account. My kids' new iPads show my name plus my new iCloud account. But both accounts show my children as "family" associated with them.
    Basically, I need to change the iCloud account on my phone to my new one. But I'm not given that option.
    Help and thanks.

    Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.

  • I can't change the email on my iCloud account on my iPhone because I can't remember the password, and I can't remember one of the security questions. What do I do?

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

  • Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

    can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

    Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I need to change in my iPhone the iCloud account, if I delete it does it erase all my contacts?  What else will it affect?

    If you are having cellular data issues, then you will need to contact your cell phone provider, that is a carrier feature.

  • How to change my name on my iCloud email address

    Hi! I need some help
    I am trying to figure out why whenever I send an email, it has someone else's name on it. So other people think that it is someone else emailing them, I can't find the option to change your name in mail prefrences, it was greyed out... please help

    If you mean the sending name that appears on the "From:" line, to change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap iCloud under Accounts, tap your iCloud account at the top of the next screen, tap Mail at the bottom of the next screen, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • 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.

  • How do i change my user name on my icloud account

    How can i change my icloud account user name on my iphone 4s

    Hello MsTrisha60,
    It sounds like you are wanting to change the signed in iCloud account on your phone in settings. The following article should help you do that named:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

    Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
    It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
    If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

  • HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

    How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

    Hello RousePryor
    If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.
