User registration uses first name/second name as username instead of using the email address

I am just building my website and noticed that when a user registers, the username is set to the first name/second name.
BUT... using a different temporary BC site, I noticed that this was using the email address as the username.
When the username is set to first name/second name (e.g. fredsmith), it is possible for 2 people with the name fred smith to register and have the same username
How can I set the username to be the user's email address?

How is your javascript skills?
It is a matter of pre-populating the username field with the email the person typed out.

We reset back to factory settings, we had to try a few email addresses before finding one we could use. Now it is asking to verify one of the email addresses we didn't use. How do we get out of that?

We reset back to factory settings. After a few attempts we found an email we could use to set up as Apple ID. Everything was working great. Now it has pulled up one of the email addresses we tried to use, and is trying to verify, and asking to continue to complete the set up. It gets to a certain page, and stays there, won't let us get out of the page. We shut down the iPad, but it came back to the same thing, when it restarted. What do we do to stop this?

You will need another iOS device or a computer in order to do this, but I assume that's not a problem since you are on this forum.
see if you can change the ID using the instructions here.

Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

TS3988 my user name (email address) is no longer a valid email address. How do I get around the verification stage or change my username to be my current email address?

How can I change my user-name for ITunes? My user name was my old work email address and is no longer valid. When I try to create an iCloud account, I am having trouble due to the fact that the username is not a good email address.

How are you trying to do it ? You can change the rescue email address on your account by, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You can then try using your current rescue email address as your primary email address - you may need to log out of that page and back in. Or you can then try changing the primary email address via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or iPod Touch you may then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log back in for the account to be 'refreshed' on it.

HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

I open a pdf file with club members names and emails. I used to be able to click on the members email and a outlook box would appear with the email address .

I have a list of names and email addresses (250) and in a previous version of firefox I would go on the web page and when I would place the curser over the members email address and click it would automatically bring up an Outlook email to send box with the members email address already listed and ready for me to enter any information. This new firefox version (19) just lets the curser go across the email address and nothing happens when I click. How do I get the previous feature back?

Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to completely disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. My aol account sends out my full name instead of using the email address. How can I correct this?

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. When I send mail from my aol account it sends my full name and not the email address acount. How can I change so my name does not appear and my user name appears?

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

I'm using AOL for email and Firefox 9.0.1. Problem started 2 days ago. Before that I put in the first two letters of an email address and it gave me a list of possibles. Now I get "undefined" for each possible instead of the email address.

After updating to Firefox 9.0.1 there were no problems. My contact list still shows as it did before this problem arose. When I type in the first letter or two of the email address, it used to give me a list of possibles. Now t is just showing the email address as "undefined" when it gives me suggestions for the email address I'm typing in the send line. This means that instead of being able to click on my choice in the possibles it gives me, I have to go to my contact list, find the name and then click on it if I'm sending the email to one person. If it goes to more than one, I either have to type in the full address or use copy and paste from the contact list. This is a huge hassle. Any help is appreciated.

I moved the file formhistory.sqlite to another file folder. I then started Firefox up again to see if it worked or if I needed to start it in Safe Mode. No need for Safe Mode. It now works exactly as it should. Thank you so much!!

When clicking on name in address book -the email address appears different in the email address bar and can't be sent -why?

I have been using thunderbird for some years - in last month when I have been trying to send some emails I have a problem with some of them in that part of the email address has changed when I insert it ino the address bar and has inverted commas around the first part of the address before the @. I have tried deleting the addresses and re-inserting them but the same thing happens. If I go into the address bar and delete the commas the email is sent - can I overcome this problem without having to go into each email? I send out emails to many people and changing each one that has the problem takes a long time. Not every email address has this problem. Many thanks -Tim

ok, I've spent some time doing various scenarios.
I have managed to replicate one scenario which does as you say.
If my contact in the address book:
With name details as Peter Foo
email address: [email protected]
where there is an inserted space before the name peter, of course this is not instantly noticeable, but it is as if you hit the space bar just before typing the email address.
Then when I use the Contacts Sidebar in a Write message, it will add the email address like this:
Peter Foo <" peter"@somewhere.com>
which of course in invalid.
but in the address book, if highlight the contact, in the section below the email address in blue -if I click this to send an email the email address is printed exacly with the space and it will send as if nothing is wrong.
So i'm asking you to check those email addresses which insert incorrectly via the Contacts sidebar. They only do this for me if there is a hidden inserted space at the start of the email address.

How to find the email address by display name

as title,
i can get the display name from the to, cc, bc edit box,
then i need to get the email address,
current i use object API to query: GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName
but i find it is really slow when there are many contacts, example 10000.
so is there any other effective method to get the email address?

First off, you are not really doing:
GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->
get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName()
are you?
If you enter the full line, it will read in all
of the entries each time it is called.
You should break each part into an object:
gwAccount
gwBook
gwEntries
I'm not sure what you are doing.
Are you trying to compose an email?
If so, why are you not using Recipients.Resolve()?
Are you trying to get the recipients from an email?

HI,
I would like to know the table name which contains the email addresses maintained in address area of SCOT.
I know how to see through SCOT, but I want to see as a list through SAP table.

The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my contacts. On my iMac, when I type the name of a group, the email addresses of everyone in the group appear in the "To" line of a new message. Not so with the iPad. Help?

The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my Contacts. When I type the name of a group in the "To:" line of a new message on my iMac, all the email addresses of the group automatically appear. Not so with my iPad. Help?

Apparently Groups are not supported in the Mail App on the iPad. Read this thread and see Michael Morgan's post for a workaround.

I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

I keep receiving Reset email password emails.

That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)

TS3988 The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences. If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.
