User name in iCloud Account Details is incorrect.

I migrated to OS5 this weekend. After installing iCloud, I went into System Preferences/iCloud. I noted that under Account Details, the user name is someone from my contact list. When I change the name and exit and re-enter, the name appears again. Email/Calendar and contacts are all syncing fine, but this is annoying. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you ever had a reply on this? My system started doing this a week or so back.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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)

I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

Check your email settings (on your iPad) for that account and make sure the username and/or password are correct.

ICloud account details setting question

Under Users & Groups > Current User > Passwords > Apple ID = is populated with my iTune ID email address (ie. @me.com).
Under iCloud > Account Details > Apple ID = is populated with my iCloud email address.
Is this correct or should it be the Apple ID that I use to log into iTunes? I am confused about this part of the setup.

Either will work as your ID.

Can multiple users access 1 iCloud account for file sharing?

I work in a team where everyone has an ios or mac device. Is it possible, if i were to create a new @me.com account, for all team members to use this as their iCloud ID and therefore be able to share documents?
Would there be a limit as to how many users could do this?

Ok have just spoken with Apple Support and the guy didn't fill me with confidence in terms of his knowledge.
He stated that the max users sharing a iCloud account would be 11 (random number IMO). Also that we could only share/edit docs if we were on the same network which kind of defeats the point.
Can anyone verify or correct me on the above?

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

TS2621 when I tried to access my mailbox I get the message "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect" I don't see an error.
