Unknown Name on My Account

I have had Verizon for about 4 years now, tried numerous times to get them to correct it but no luck. Every time I sign in to my account an unknown name shows as if it were me. Anyone know how to get them to correct this???

Tell me what website your are visiting that shows the wrong name as well as let me know if you are a Fios or copper subscriber and I will see if I can lend you a hand here

Unknown name in TO

In the last week almost all my mail has To Elma Trotter <my name @xxx.net>. Even my last news letter from Apple.com, and from people and companies I have received mail from before. Even a response from a company about a recent order came with that unknown name. The name does not show up if I go to the on line version of my .net account, only on my computer. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

One more thought. Sometimes spam email will use a random name and fake your email address; you might have used an "unsubscribe" reply-to. Go to the Window menu and choose "Previous Recipients". See if the name is in there, and delete it if so.

How can I change the "short name" of my account?

I want to change the short name of my account because when my dad bought this computer for me he set up the account with his name as the short name and it has been bothering me ever since.
When I go to system preferences and then accounts my account is listed and when I click on it under password I am able to change my name, but not my short name because it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Is there any way to change the short name on my account? I can't even delete my account and make a new one because the account delete button is greyed out when I click on my account.
Also, I went to my home folder and changed that from my dad's name to my name. This has reset every program on my computer to default settings! For example when I open my Safari browser a message pops up saying a keychain cannot be found to store Safari and asks me if I want to restore default settings.
So pretty much I've tried to change the short name on my administrative account, I reset everything to default settings and my short name is still my father's name. Can anyone help me out here?

Try this.
Or you could just create a new account and delete the old one.

Change NAME of User Account, Home Directory, Time Capsule and Network

Hi All.
I have a small home network and I would like to do this for all four of these.
I think I have instructions on doing this for User Account, Home Directory and Time Capsule.
Can anyone give me the "it is OK to do this" so I don't have to worry about something going wrong in the future?
Also, can I do this for my network and does anyone know where I find this?
Thanks.

So I gather I cannot rename the name of the "Macintosh HD" which I guess is the name of my Hard Drive?
Technically, it's the name of the OSX volume or partition, but is often just called your internal hard drive, since most folks only have one partition. But some have multiple partitions, usually for dual booting, such as OSX and Windows; or Lion and Snow Leopard.
Yes, you can rename it easily (but you might check whether that will cause a problem with DejaVu). It won't be a problem for Time Machine.
Just right-click it in a Finder sidebar or on your desktop. Do not use any slashes or colons, however -- you might want to avoid any punctuation or special characters.
And then - In Accounts I have "Full Name" as literally my first and last name.
Yes. Each user account has a full name and a short name. The full name isn't used for much.
the HOME FOLDER is showing a totally different name than the "Full Name".
Correct. It's the same as the short name.
So I set the HOME FOLDER name through some hocus pocus in the article and then what is the relationship between these things?
The short name and the home folder name should be the same. The article shows how to rename the home folder, create a new user account with a matching name, then delete the old account.
If you're not comfortable with the instructions in the article, I'd strongly advise not doing it. You may end up having to do a full system restore. I don't know, but perhaps your local Apple Store will do it for you.
Functionally I have a HARD DRIVE and a HOME FOLDER and then the Full Name (listed in Accounts) is just sort of what I get called by...?
The hard drive (OSX partition) is where your entire Snow Leopard installation is: OSX itself, your Apple and 3rd-party apps, and one or more home folders. (Many folks who share a Mac have separate home folders for each user.)
have I been smoking?

Id has "live:" name on my account. How can I get...

Hello, My id has "live:"<name> on my account. How can I get rid of "live:"? Btw, I am using Microsoft account. Also, since my name as live: I get unnecessary public invites. HOw can I block all these unnecessary invites?
Also, how do I make my id private and not public?
Thanks in Advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no way to make your ID private.
live: <name> is actually your Skype name which is automatically assigned to your account when you create this account using the Microsoft account option. If when creating this account you would have chosen the option "I have a Skype account" and linked Microsoft account with this existing Skype account, then your Skype name would have been this linked account name.

Cannot enter my full name in mail account preferences

iMac 24-inch, Early 2008, OS 10.8.2: When I send email from my icloud email account, some recipients report seeing only my email address in the from line at the top of the email without my real name. I opened Mail preferences and the Full Name: box is greyed out and reads "Your Name" instead of my name under the accounts tab. How can I unlock and access this box to enter my real name? BTW, I went to the iCloud website, logged in, and went to the account prefs under the web based iCloud mail prefs. This box was editable and already showed my name. I deleted it and re-entered my full name. When i returned to the Mail app on my iMac, the Your Name box still reads "Full Name" in grey, un-editable. I tried a test email sent to my husband's email and it still reads just my email address without my name at the top. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance.

Go into your icloud preferences and uncheck mail. Give it a minute or so, then check it out.
I tested that after changing my full name on the website. The name updated in my mail.app, but not until I unchecked/rechecked.

How to get the full name of the Account Owner?

Hi,
I would like to ask if there's a way to display the full name of the Account Owner in a report where the subject area is Opportunity? Currently, the Username (under Owned By User) which displays the full name is equal to the Opportunity Owner.
Thanks,
Teena

Hi Cameron,
Thanks again.
Currently, I have a report under Opportunity history where the following fields are being shown:
- Account's Country
- Opportunity Owner (Owned By User - gives me the full name)
- Account Name
- Opportunity Name
- Metrics field (Revenue, Volume. etc.)
- Close Date
- some custom fields
The users want to see the Account Owner so I added this field but it's showing the owner's alias. My question is, in using the "Combine with Similar Analysis", can I display all the values retrieved by the Opportunity report and get the value of 'Owned By User' in the Account report?
I have tried combining the two reports but the values are derived from the driving report which is Opportunity. How can I get the value/format of the field in the Account report?

Is it possible to change the name on an account?

Hi,
I live in a shared house and one of my housemates has just moved out. He was in charge of the Internet bill. This was with Virgin and they would not let him transfer the account over to somebody else. We are now looking for a new provider but we need this option. Many of us don't know how long we will be staying.
So, is it possible to take out a BT contract with the option to change the account holder?
Thanks.

Hi tdm,
Thats not possible if you take out a contract and someone else wants to takeover that line or be named as the account holder the service would have to be ceased in you name and the person wanting to be named/incharge would have to apply as a new customer,the only way to change a name on the account is bereavement this has to be immediate family.

Changing Last Name on Mail accounts

Recently remarried, and trying to change last name on Mail accounts. I have changed them in Contacts, however seem to have problems in sending mail.
Anyone have an idea of where I need to make all the changes?

Mail apparently can do this, but doesn’t provide support for it in the user interface:
Add unique names to .Mac email aliases
Add unique names to .Mac aliases via AppleScript
I believe the AppleScript in the second article is for .Mac accounts only. The first article was initially also meant for .Mac accounts only, but I believe that a similar procedure can be used with other account types as well — read the comments for additional info on this.
What I’d probably do is leave the Full Name field blank and the email address alone, though...

Displaying name from sub account

I have set up a subaccount successfully. When I send a new message the From box displays my email, plus my own name. I do not want my name to show since a number of people will be using the subaccount. I cannot find a way to edit it out.
Thanks

Hi.
I assume you are logging into webmail with the new account details - it's not entirely clear if you don't mind me saying.
When you were sending emails, were both your current name *and* main account email address being shown, or just the name and "subaccount" email address ?
In webmail - to alter the name, Go to Options (More Options/Mail Options)/Accounts/click the BTYahoo! item. From there you can change the "From" name.

How to avoid duplication of vendor name and vendor account group

Let me know the menu path for setting in SAP - controlling / avoid duplication vendor name and vendor account group in one purchasing organisation during creation of vendor / uploading mass data.
with regards

Hi,
See vendor code is unique no. But the name is not at all unique. so system allow to create duplicate record.
by giving authorization to single person only you can do it.
system discipline is actually required

My work computer (this mac) i use with my private icloud account so I have access to my private calendars etc. My husband's airbook is also connected to that icloud (since I only have 1 icloud account) and so is our shared ipad. Is that where the problem is? Do I need to change everything on those devises into my name too? Thanks again for you time and help!
So you are sharing the account. Very bad idea.
Get your husband his own account and stop sharing yours, they are free.

Name Change on Account

Another person used my email address to open an Acrobat.com account. I went in and changed the password, so it is my account, but the name on the account is still the other persons. How do I change the name? (Our email addresses are one letter off, so I think this was an accident).

You can change the name on the account by signing in to My Files, then from the "More" option on the upper right hand side, choose "Settings and Preferences". A window will pop with first and last name fields that you can edit.
I agree, it sounds like it was an accident... and this is why we verifiy email addresses for Acrobat.com accounts.
Hope this helps!
