My full name for my e-mail address has changed

I'm not sure if this has happened after updated to Yosemite, but then I noticed a change of my full name for my gmail.com e-mail address. I attached a pic for better understanding what I mean. I already checked my full name in my gmail account in the "Mail->Preferences->Accounts" but there was nothing wrong, my full name was shown correctly. Has anyone an idea what has happened? Do I need to contact gmail for this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

HT204053 My e-mail address has changed. How do I update the Apple ID that is showing for my iCloud?

My e-mail address that was used for my Apple ID has changed. I have changed my Apple ID to my new e-mail address, but how do I go about changing my iCloud to my new Apple ID?

My e-mail address has changed and i-tunes still recognizes me by the old one. I can't get authorization to move songs from one computer to the next.

When I first got started with Mac, I had a different e-mail address. I have a new e-dress and new passwords, but much of what I bought was with that old e-dress. Now, I'm trying to migrate my i-tunes library to a new computer, and I can't get authorized to move or play songs on the new computer.
Does anyone know what to do? (A once and for all reset of Apple username and password).....
Thnx

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

Change full name in iCloud mac mail

How do I change a Full Name in iCloud mac mail?

If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account. You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)? If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

Failure sending mail: the specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.mail will not be resent. Email Notification Component Properties works fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
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.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I want to have all the facilities of my Ipad obtained for my e mail address, available for another e mail address belonging to my wife. Anyone know how I set this up please? I am a new user and long in the tooth so any help would be much appreciated.

What do you mean by "facilities of my Ipad obtained for my e mail address"?
Do you mean you want to setup your wife's email account on your iPad? Or something else?

HT201342 How do I change the 'Full Name' on my iCloud Mail (and on my Apple ID as I think this is where it gets the name)? Thanks

How do I change the 'Full Name' on my iCloud Mail (and on my Apple ID as I think this is where it is getting my Full Name? Thanks

To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, 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 top right 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.

Reminders brings up message: Reminders can't connect to the account "Exchange". This is not my account; it then requests a password for an e-mail address which is not mine. Can anyone help?

Every time I open Reminders it brings up a reference to an account that is not mine and asks for a password for an e-mail address which is not mine. I have to cancel to proceed.

Does anyone else ever have physical access to your computer? Does the address belong to one of your friends/family/contacts? Have you recently had to take in your computer for repair, or given remote access to anyone?
It's very unlikely that you have been hacked - a hacker does not normally add their own email address to your system.

I just changed my user name to my e-mail address on my iMac. It works fine there but when I try to use my iPhone it still shows my old user name and will not let me enter??

There is no user name needed to "enter" or use iPhones...
Assuming you mean your iTunes Store account ID:

Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
Why is it being reset all the time?
I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
A Mac (Lion latest)
iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
Apple TV 1 (latest)
Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)
check out this article:
support.apple.com/kb/TS1646

I reset my apple ID password and realized my e-mail address has been changed. I cannot retrieve my password because I cannot get the email. So I am stuck in a loop with the apple support page. I cannot change my forgotten password or my email address?

I lost my passwrod and my e-mail address has now changed. On the support page I cannot reset my password without my old e-mail and I cannot change my e-mail address without my password. Any thoughts?

You apparently did not migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? In this case your MobileMe account has been permanently deleted and all its contents lost, as was announced over a year ago.
Your signature says your Mac has 10.6.8; you cannot set up an iCloud account on that. However you can reactivate your @me.com address (though not retrieve its contents including any aliases) by going to Settings>iCloud on your iPhone (iOS5 required), signing in with your @me.com address and password, and enabling Mail in the list there.
That done, you can set up Mail manually on Snow Leopard to access your iCloud email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
