Time Capsule shows with wrong name on Time Machine

I changed the name of my Time Capsule using airport. However, Time Machine still shows the old Time Capsule name, with the new name underneath. When I try to back up using this disk, it shows the following error message:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
I don't know how to fix this. I have looked everywhere. I deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, and even made sure to do a secure empty trash. I even did a soft reset of the Time Capsule to the factory configuration, and renamed the Time Capsule all over again. I restarted the computer several times during this process, and yet no luck, it still shows the old Time Capsule name.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

Ok, the MacBook is backing up now. Here is what I did:
After manually changing the name of the Time Capsule Disk as above, Time Machine was still not able to back up. I kept getting the error message
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
The problem is that "My laptop name" Time Machine was using is wrong. I had changed the laptop name in Network Perferences>Sharing before, but it still kept looking for the wrong .sparsebundle file in the Time Capsule. I don't know why, and I even deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file again with no success.
I entered the Time Capsule from the Finder menu, found the .sparsebundle file with the wrong name, and manually deleted it. Finally the MacBook was able to backup. However, although the MacBook name is the same as it used to be before, and even though there was already an old .sparsebundle file with the correct name, Time Machine created a new .sparesebundle with the same name, and began an entirely new backup. I am just letting it do this backup, and then I will manually delete the old backup, so it doesn't take space on the Time Capsule. I don't need the past backups (and hope I won't swallow my words), and I am tired of dealing with this, so this will be it.

AirDrop showing the wrong name and picture with iOS 7

AirDrop is showing the wrong name and picture on my wife's phone....It is showing my name and picture. She has an iPhone 5 and I just updated her to iOS7 about an hour ago, same time as I did mine. Is it because we are connected with the same Apple ID and if so, how do I fix it? She is annoyed by it and not seeing where I can change it in the settings is beginning to annoy me. Help!

I don't think that's the issue. I'm having the same problem. My wife, my son, and I all use the same Apple ID, but we have different email addresses and phone numbers for facetime and imessage (we've never had an issue with imessage or facetime). Today, I updated my phone and ipad to ios 7 and tried to experiment with airdrop. On both devices it showed my son's name. Then my son updated his ipad and we tested airdrop again. His ipad shows up on my phone and ipad with his name as well. The email address that I use for Apple ID is not associated with him on any device. His name is not listed on our Apple ID account. One of them shows his photo that he uses for his facebook profile, but the other's just have a gray circle with his first initial. I'm hoping it's just a bug that will get fixed soon, but if anyone knows a fix, please share.

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.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

You're gonna have to restore the iPhone from your last backup with iTunes. You did do a backup before you attempted to update the software didn't you?

Mac mail shows the wrong name in the inbox

Mac mail is showing the wrong name for one sender in the inbox. It is correct in the preview pane and when opened.
Is also correct on ipad and iphone. Only wrong in mac mail. This occurred when the person changed their name.
Have already deleted that user from the previous emailed contacts. Have started in Safe mode to clear caches.
System is a macbook air with Mavericks 10.9.4
Thanks in advanced for any help with this.

What next?
I'd check with the senders whom you receive mail from to be sure they have your name correctly entered in the address book for whatever mail client they're using; I'm guessing the problem is on their end, since we've eliminated the possibilites on your end: Address Book and the Previous Recipients list. Those are the only two places Mail could draw that information from, unless it's in the original message sent to you, which you can confirm by opening a message, then choosing View > Raw Source. Look for the To: field and if the name doesn't match yours, then you know the problem is on the sender's end, in which case you should tell them to correct your name in their email address book.
Can I clear out the email account completely and start again.
You could, but that won't solve the problem. That name is coming from somewhere external to Mail (since Mail doesn't keep any such information), so it's just a matter of finding the source correcting it.

ssstesoe,

IPhone shown in Windows with wrong name, then with no name at all

Hello there... i have recently upgraded to iOS 5; up until the upgrade my iPhone would be shown in Windows as "Graz's iPhone" , and it would have a DCIM folder with all my pictures and video inside. After the upgrade, the iPhone showed up in Windows Explorer as "David's iPhone" (David is a friend of mine who plugged his iPhone in my pc to recharge it weeks ago) and the DCIM folder had three other folders inside, with weird names, and the pictures and videos in them. To try and solve this, i uninstalled the apple driver from the Device manager, resulting in the iPhone shown as "Apple iPhone" with a generic camera icon, and it not being seen anymore in iTunes. (it would see it and sync it through wi-fi, but not as usb, so I couldn't restore or upgrade it). I browsed the Apple support, and managed to solve this. So now, iTunes works just fine, but Windows shows the iPhone with the right icon but as "Apple iPhone".. and still with the weird folders. Here's a screenshot:
Solutions? thanks a lot!!

Hello there... Hello Graz.
Glad to hear that I am not alone. I have the same problem but a bit a reverse than yours.
Recently I had also upgraded to iOS 5 as well. I have no problem using iOS 5 for a week or so connecting to my personal laptop (Windows 7) and also PC at work (Windows XP)
What happened now is that a few days ago my friend (Bob) connect my iPhone to his personal laptop to transfer some of the pictures we have taken on my iPhone. Bob never use iPhone and no iTunes were installed to his laptop. Bob transfered the pictures using this software called "Readiris 12 PRO" (www.irislink.com) instead of the normal "Windows Explorer". He used Windows XP by the way. The transfer went well.
Right the next day, I connected my iPhone to my laptop and started to experience the same DCIM folders problem Graz mentioned above except that my iPhone's name remain unchanged (Maybe the fact that Bob's don't use any iPhone - a bit contrary than "Graz-David" issues). I also noticed that all the pictures were grouped into several "alphanumeric" folders according to the month of the pictures taken. I could not delete some of the folders but I can delete the pictures or copy them onto my laptop.
I had tried many ways to get thing back to normal but NONE of it (refer below) solved the issue I am facing. This include:
Attempt 1: Reset my iPhone through the device itself via "Settings/General/Reset/Reset All Settings" - No data or media were deleted.
Attempt 2: Reset my iPhone throught the device itself again via "Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content & Settings"- All media & data were deleted and all settings were reset. But then I used iTunes as a back up when sync back all my data (mainly apps). All media in Camera Roll were gone, some non-online apps data were also gone. So sad my all 3 STARS achievement on Angry Birds were also gone.
Attempt 3: Reset my iPhone as in Attempt 2 but this time set as a New Phone without back up from iTunes. Quite happy when all those weird folder are gone. Took one snap and reconnect to my laptop. ****! The weird folder appeared again.
Attempt 4: Started to feel like something is wrong with my laptop. So i restore my Windows to an earlier date (before Bob connect my iPhone to his laptop)
Attempt 5: I installed iExplorer for iPhone (www.macroplant.com/iexplorer) so that I can browse my iPhone as an external disk and I couldn't find all the weird folders in DCIM. My intention were to delete them because I cannot delete those folders via Windows Explorer
Attempt 6: Trying to connect my iPhone to other display laptops at shopping mall. Just want to diagnose either my Iphone is a problem or my laptop is a problem. It turned out that those weird folders still exist in DCIM when I browse it through Windows Explorer. So I kind of made myself understand that my iPhone is a problem.
Attemp 6: Restore my iPhone via iTunes (USB Connected) and set it as a New Phone. Almost same like Attempt 3 except that restore process were done while my iPhone were connected to iTunes.
None of the above work. Quite frustrated the fact that datas are now gone and yet problem UNSOLVED.
I know it's quite a simple problem but quite annoying to find out that the DCIM folder is now not as perfectly as it used to be. Furthermore I hate those alphanumeric folders inside it where I can't either rename them or delete them. I attached below images as reference.
Please help me too! Thanks a million

Issue with certain email being received with wrong name

Hi- From time to time I've seen this happen where an email will come in and the 'from' name is different from the email address. Usually I find the problem with this is in the address book as the record with that email had a wrong name, but that's not the case.
Is it possible there's something odd with the cache in that a wrong name became associated with an email address? I checked with the email host and the sending email's account is setup correctly, so the issue is somewhere with the recipient.
Any idea what's going on?

New Ipods Engraved With Wrong Names

I recently bought ipods for my daughters, one black and one white. Unfortunatley, Apple reversed the names on said ipods and I'm lost as to what to do. Is there anyway that one can remove and switch the (back/front) plates with the names? Or do I send them back for new ones (I am unaware as to if the two-year warranty we bought with the ipods will cover this sort of situation).
Any help would be appreciated.

Certadmin is adding new SSL certificate with wrong name

I'm using certadmin to add a new certificate from Thawte. Did it successfully the past few years, but can't do it this year for some reason. It looks like everything is working, but when I go to look at the store after adding the cert it comes up with the same name as last year's certificate. For example,
portal.rhsmith.umd.edu u,u,u
portal_2003 u,u,u
portal_2003 u,u,u
server-cert u,u,u
...where portal_2003 is the name of last year's cert. Before running certadmin there was just one of 'em. The .nickname does change to the new name I entered in, but it doesn't get stored with that name and the gateway gets confused. Changing .nickname to portal_2003 lets the gateway start, but it's finding the old (about to expire) cert, not the new one I just bought. Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks for your help,
--Ernie

Solved my own problem... went in with ipscertutil directly and removed some old certificates. This seemed to uncorrupt the store and I was then able to add the certificate.

Skype logging me in with wrong name

Hi guys,
When I try to login to my Skype account with my user name it works fine on my computer (can't do this on XBOX one), but when I login with my Microsoft account email, it says that my name is Gabby Mobley and I have all of her friends on my friends list and mine arent'there.
I can't sign in on my xbox because of this and I've called Microsoft 3 times and none of them know how to fix this.
Again, when I login to Skype via my computer with my user name it works fine. When I log in with my Microsoft account, it logs me in as a person named Gabby Mobley.
Skype for Xbox One makes you login with your microsoft account so I can never actually get into my account with my friends and only have access to hers. Seems like a huge security issue.
Thanks and sorry for the confusion!
Mike

Liquidzero007,
This sounds strange.
From what I read, you ended up with two Skype accounts (Original and automatically created in Skype for Xbox One) linked to one MSA. If it is indeed so, then this is a bug.
Can you please tell me what exactly you see in upper right corner when you log into your Skype.com account using MSA credentials [email protected]? Is your original Skype username mentioned there or something like "live:xxxx"?
Thanks!

"xm list" command shows wrong name

Hi,
I have created a virtual machine called "testobi1" using VM Manager. And when I run "xm list" command then it shows the wrong name "50_testobi1"
[root@test01 ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
*50_testobi1* 1 1024 1 -b---- 0.8
Domain-0 0 543 8 r----- 87.1
Any suggestion on how to correct *50_testobi1* to *"testobi1"*?
I have changed the name line in /OVS/running_pool/50_testobi1/vm.cfg file, restarted whole VM server but no success.
Thank you for your help.

Actually I thought that I would connect to domain by given name in VM Manager. For example: * #xm console testobi1* But now I will have to remember prefix counter information which is auto set. what could be reason for such design?I suspect it's to ensure that all guests always have a unique name, but that's just a guess.
When I try to create domain manually on command line without VM Manager then it created domain name as given and did not prefix counter to it.Correct -- the prefix is created by Oracle VM Manager itself, as it adds the guest to the database. You'll notice that when you import a manually created guest, it will be given a prefix by Oracle VM Manager during the import process.

Ipod showing up with incorrect name

I just plugged in my iPod (after using it for months with no problem) and suddenly the iPod is showing the wrong name. It should show up with the name I gave it obviously, but suddenly it shows up as a network share name that my company has. It also shows the stats as being a network share, i.e. no songs, the available space on the network share. It's almost as if it is not truly reading the iPod. The iPod is functioning normally otherwise.
I haven't tried it unplugged from the network, because it used to work just fine when attached while I'm at work. Any ideas while iTunes would suddenly show the iPod as incorrect.
