When I iMessage people from my iPod touch that don't have my email in my contacts, who does it say it comes from on the other persons iOS device? Is it my email or the name associated with my apple id?
If its my email, how can I change it to be my name?
Thanks in advance for great answers!!!
Hi,
In iMessages both from an iOS device or from the Mac Messages beta the name your "send" is the Apple ID
iPhones obviously do have to option of "sending" from the phone number (and in fact do if no Apple ID is used)
The person at the other end sees is whatever they have for you set up in their Contact list.
In this sense it works the same way iChat does.
If you have your Buddies Screen name in the Address Card then ichat will display their Full Name (If you have iChat set up to do so as it can be the Short Name (nickname) or even Handle (Screen Names) )
What is sent between Buddies is the Handle or Screen Name it is the iChat or Message Software reading the Address Book that changes it to the "Names" of your Buddy.
The same is true of the Contacts List (Address Book entries) for anyone you are iMessaging.

Hello, my name is Ed. I'm with all my Ipod, I have (4) they all keep freezing up on me when I play my devices. But my Ipod Touch I don't have this problem. On my classic I'll hold down menu botton on the wheel. But thing happen, I'm tired of letting battery go dead and recharge it, just to freeze up again. I made it work one time by holding down the menu button. That's about it. I need help.

PS I don't know operation system on my ipod classic, but on my mac book pro i am using (11.0.2) my mac os x (10.6.8). So, I try to take a quess at my os my classicHolding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
Good luck! -
How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??
I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want. If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>. Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association.
It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser. If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]> And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac. That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses. Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.Can I change the name associated with an ipod on my Mac?
Select the iPod in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name.
And can there be more than one iPod on one computer?
Yes.

How do i change the name associated with my icloud
how do i change the name associated with my icloud
If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID. -
I have an ipod touch that continues to have a black screen with the white apple on it. It won't shut off and is completely frozen. This happened when we tried to restore it last night. Help please!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i have an old ipod touch and use it everyday now i cant get on facebook and cant download apps which i want as it requires ios 4.3. what use is it to me anymore and are apple willing to do something about it
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

How can I change the name associated with an email address?
I assumed an existing account but would like to change the tag name associated with it. Right now it is still showing up as a colleague's name.
Hi Rossion,
Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation. There should be a settings menu that allows you to change your personal account information.
Hopefully this helps! -
How do I change the names associated with numbers on my bill
I have multiple numbers on my bill that have the wrong names associated with them. I have tried calling *611 only to wait and then be disconnected. I am the account owner and am unable to locate where to correct the information.
Online, in My Verizon / View Usage / Minutes / Breakdown of Recent Activity / Current Call Log for Line / Select a Line, a log of calls incoming and outgoing since the last billing date are shown. For years, I would be able to click on the blue telephone number and a popup box would show up to Add/Update Nick Name. I would type in a name, for example, Mom and then click on Add/Update and the name would then replace the number in the listing. As of two months ago, I can still do this EXCEPT the name will NOT replace the number! This is so irritating as I have been assning names to the numbers for years for ease of search and identifying the calls. I have call ed Customer Servcie at least htree times on this issue. I have tried to Add/Edit Nick Name in two odfferent browsers (Internet Explorer as well as Firefox) and I have tried it on two dofferent laptops in two diofferent wireless networks. So I know it is NOT an issue with my hardware or networks. The issue is on Verizon's end. I am puzzled that others have not complained. Maybe I am the only doofud that likes to assign names to the numbers? But I would be most grateful if someone within the Community or Verizon's Customer Servcie can resolve this issue once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I change the name associated with my email account on my PC?
My mothers name is what appears when I send emails instead of mine. I have found directions on how to change the name on a Mac but I have a PC. It is rather frustrating because I send out business emails and often times the receiver does not look at my signature block but instead replies to me addressing me by her name.

By that you mean you log into the iCloud.com website? Or are you using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
If you log into iCloud.com in your web browse, What name Appears at the top right corner when in Mail?
If you use an email client which one? -
How do I change the name associated with my @icloud email
Whenever I send an email the message sends with my wife's name....how can I change this? The account is in my name and Icloud displays my name.
Go to
Settings---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars---> scroll down to Contacts to make sure that "My Info" is really your's and not your wife's.
If that doesn't work, go onto a computer and...
icloud.com (sign in)---> Mail---> Little gear in lower left corner of the screen---> Preferences---> Accounts---> Full Name

Why is it not in itunes?
It should always be in itunes and included in your regular backup of your computer. -
I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation." It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.
