My flickr contact name points to another account

When attempting to add my Flickr account to my Apple TV, it accesses another account. I enter my contact name, not my username. I tried a workaround by successfully adding one of my mutually contacts and searching their contact list for my account, and then adding that. Still points to another account. I have also tried changing my contact name at flickr.com, but attempting to add that on the Apple TV connects to exactly the same account, which is very strange. Entering the same string into the "People" search on flickr (while I am logged out) returns my account successfully.
If anyone reading this has an Apple TV and wants to try to replicate this, my Flickr contact name is "Tom & Viv". It returns an account with the contact name "Tom & Viv" but with the additional name "Tom Nguyen", and with a flickr stream that is not mine.
Can anyone here help? Or should I be referring to flickr for help?
Cheers,
Tom Ackroyd

Thanks. Not sure that can be right, as my username is "tom_ackroyd", not "Tom Ackroyd".
Also, the Apple TV specifically asks for "contact name" which is what it displays on contact lists too.
Flickr have responded with this:
+Regarding your problem with your account, please note that Apple TV+
+searches on the Flickr Screen name which has to be entered exactly+
+including any spaces and/or capitol letters. If an account has special characters that are not available to search by on their interface you will+
+not be able to search for the account.+
What they refer to as screen name is what Apple refer to as contact, isn't it?

    No problem, just "deauthorize all" and then authorize the four individually. You will lose nothing - except the ability to "deauthorize all" for another year.
    Don't change your Apple ID.

  • How to move my contacts & pictures from one icloud account to another?

    I need to create a new icloud account because Ive been using my husband sign in - he just got an i phone and now need to move my stuff to another account but I dont want to loose my contacts, pictures videos, etc?/
    Please help!!!1

    So far as your photos are concerned, just make sure that you move any photos that you have in photo stream that you wish to save, across to your camera roll for stop
    So far as contacts go, turn off contacts in your iCloud settings and you will be asked if you wish to keep the contacts on your device, you can then safely delete your account from your phone. When you add your own account to the phone and enable contacts, you should be asked if you then wish to merge your contacts.

  • Admin. name invalid on shutdown when another account is logged in

    I have no problem logging in or shutting down with my administrator name and password--unless another account (someone else in my family) is also logged in. When I try to shut down from my account my user name is flagged as "invalid"--even though it is correct. I need log out, then go to the other open account and shut down from there. What gives?

    I too was vexed with this exact problem. After hours of much hair-pulling and trial and error, I discovered that my other non-administrator user (who was logged in at the same time I was) had iChat set to automatically launch at his start-up. As soon as I turned off this option on his account, I was able to shut down without any password weirdness. So my advice is to see if you or any other user have applications set to launch at start-up, and then turn them all off.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

    I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

    Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
    It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
    Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
    Just turn it off.

  • Get ichat contacts to another account with mobileme expired

    hey everyone
    i had bought a mobileme account a year ago and they finally sent me a message saying that my account was closed. i was using ichat then it freezed. i try logging back in then it says that my password is wrong. i did a little research and found out that apple cancels the ichat account when mobile me ends. so i wanted to know if there is a way of getting my contacts off my mobileme ichat account and putting them on my new updated AIM account.

    No.
    The Buddy List itself is held on the AIM servers (Even for Apple IDs)
    The AIM servers check the Apple Servers to validate any ID
    Therefore you cannot access that Buddy List
    If on the other hand you added the Real names to the Buddies info they are stored in the Address Book.
    You can drag names from the Address Book to your New Buddy List.
    This way you will get all but the ones you had with Screen Names only.

  • I tried to make another account on my school Macbook Pro, made the Admin, account with the same name as the one I was using, deleted it and then all my desktop data is gone.

    So, the problem is,
    I used these school Macs right? They're school handed and stuff. Then one day I decided I want admin so I do this thing where I "reset" everything on the Macbook using this Video (at the bottom) http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-a-Lost-Admin-Password-on-Mac-OS-X
    Then I do it, it takes me to the new User. That's not what I want so I shut down, then made an account with the same name as my current account (let's call it Y). Then I delete Y on purpose. I deleted it because I didn't want my school to know I had this account. Realise I wanted it again so I made an account, let's call it X then when I have X I deleted Y. Then I realised my AirDrop name said X so then I made a new account, this time let's call it Z, with Z I delete X and then I deleted Z because I don't want my school to know I have Z but then Z is also the same name as my main/current account. Somehow or something I delete my current account leaving me with Z. Now I can see my account and stuff but don't know how to restore it.
    Picture will be provides later.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW AND I DON'T WANT MY PARENTS TO FIND OUT.

    It is a bad idea to hack computer passwords when you don't own the computer
    Good luck with the school and the parents.

    1. Get Sales Order header GUID from table CRMD_ORDERADM_H,  as you have OBJECT_ID.
    2. Get the Sales order details by passing Header GUID to FM CRM_ORDER_READ and the exporting parameter table ET_PARTNER will give the parnter details of the Sales order. Read this ET_PARTNER table with partner function 0000001 i.e. sold to party which  is customer number and check the  ET_SALES Table where in PO_NUMBER_SOLD field will be refering to customer ref may be item level or header level depends on business,
    3. regarding the Contact name..check what is business requirement whether end customer contact or contact person of the customer.
    Hope it will help,
    Regards,

  • Separating 1st name and last name in contact name in a component

    Hi,
    I have a requirement as follows:
    "while creating opportunity and after selecting the account, a pop up window prompted to choose the contact person.The form of the name has the Contactu2019s Lastname and Firstname concatenated into a field labeled u201CNameu201D.
    Now we need to
    --Separate the Name into First Name and Last Name"
    When I checked, the pop up is the componet BTPARTNER.Can any one suggest how to achieve the above?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: Ginger on Apr 20, 2011 4:02 PM

    Hi,
    you can have a look at Component BTPARTNER, View PartnerSelList, Context node BTQRSPARTDET, Attribute STRUCT.NAME1 -> GET_NAME1. Here you can see how the Name field is composed and you can change the coding, for example transfer the Last Name part to another field via set_property method and keep the First Name part in this field.
    Kind regards,

  • Contact names not showing on text or calls - uk iPhone on O2

    I know there are numerous threads on this already but all seem to be for US phones mostly on Verizon.
    My contacts names in SMS randomly started disappearing. First messages from two people only showed as numbers. Now within two days all texts on show numbers. Some are set with +44 some not. All are in my contacts. I have two contact lists (thanks to not being able to merge my existing MobileMe with existing apple account when upgraded to IOS5 - thanks apple) but this hasn't caused an issue until now. I have tried switching both iCloud and MobileMe contacts off and on - various combinations. Have tried international assist off and on. Have added each number to existing contact and tried setting up as a new contact. Have synced and rest phone. Nothing works.
    Any ideas anyone?

    After calling Verizon, here is a fix that worked for me.
    1.) Look at your contacts information on the iPhone. If your phone numbers are not formatted with the parentheses and dashes, and are just a string of numbers like this: 1234567890, it likely means something went afoul in the initial sync. This is a good indicator that the following will work.
    2. BACKUP YOUR IPHONE ON ITUNES before you go any farther. You may eject the iPhone at this point or leave it connected. I left mine connected to my desktop.
    3. Then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You will receive a prompt or two to make certain this is what you want. Proceed.
    4. Let the Reset process conclude. It may take a couple minutes or so.
    5. You will have to go through the re-activation process afterwards. Slug through it.
    6. When all that is finished, reconnect your iPhone (if you disconnected it after backup).
    7. When asked, select "Restore iPhone from a Backup". Let the process finish.
    8. Now, check your contacts. If instead of seeing a line of numbers for your phone entries, you see a number properly formatted like this: (123) 456-7890, then you have likely solved your problem.
    9. Try calling your iPhone from a phone that is in your contacts list and see what happens.
    10. If this doesn't work, you will likely have to call Verizon or Apple. The Verizon tech support agent said that the issue has been sent to Apple for resolution. It may be something amiss in the initial install of iOS to the Verizon phones. Who knows, but this is defnitely a software issue of some type.

  • Stop contact name from showing up when receiving sms

    i dont want to jailbreak.. is there a stock way to stop the contact from showing up when i get an sms?
    thank you
    Message was edited by: maxgraham

    that assumption does not take into account privacy from friends in close proximity... phone is screen up on the table at dinner, i get a text from someone, it lights up and others at the table instinctively look, seeing who is texting me. This is a problem. A jealous girlfriend/boyfriend could react simply to seeing another girl/boys name (could be completely innocent).
    it has led to changing the contact name in the phone since there is no way to stop it showing up, putting the phone face down defeats the purpose of notifications at all (especially in loud places where the sound or vibration cannot be heard)

  • Manage another account box blank

    Hi,
    Win7 Enterprise/SP1, logged in as Administrator: Control Panel, User Accounts, clicking on Manage Another Account results in a blank box. Clicking on Create a New Account brings up a dialog. I add a user name and click on Standard User, then click

    Hi,
    Have you tried to create another administrator account to confirm this problem? Is UAC enabled in your system? If not, open it and restart your system for test.
    On the other hand, based on my research, it seems like a bug about this phenomenon. Since system restore and repair install doesn't help with this problem. The only choice I think was clean install your system.
    Another workaround method to manage user account you can use is below:
    Open Run, Type netplwiz, Press Enter.
    Then the prompted Windows also could be used to manage user account.

  • PIN registered to another account

    I have just sold my 8800 to a friends, it was registered via my ISP for BIS in my name.
    I have now put my 9000 on there and assumed that my 8800 would have been overwritten as a result.
    Everytime i try and register his account it comes up that the PIN is registered on another account!!!
    any ideas 

    I just bought a 2790 from O2 (UK) with PIN registered account.
    How can I register again in PORTUGAL ?
    Should I contact old carrier (O2 - UK), or VODAFONE PT?
    I feel some difficults to explain to rhese carriers.
    Maybe BlackBerry support could delete that registered account so I can login again.
    Thank you
    Joao
