Hey samsept3,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to change the display name of your Mail account in OS X. This can be configured in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > [Account Name] > Full Name
For more information, see the following:

And for a visual instruction, see this video:

Thanks,

  • When I send an email with a photoshop file attached, the recipient receives it "flattened". How do I change this?

    when I send an email with a photoshop file attached, the recipient receives it "flattened". How do I change this?

    I've sent psd files to various people without issues, however you might want to try something like www.filedropper.com to make sure it's not that they can't open your version of psd file.
    You may also want to zip the file using the built in archiving software, simply right click (or control click) the file and choose Compress ....,  then you can email it to the person as a compressed archive.  That should preserve all the aspects of the file properly without any modifications.

  • HT204053 i changed my email address (apple id) on my pc, but now my ipad is asking me for my password with the old email address...and not accepting the old or new password.how do i change it/sync it?

    I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my  icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Yeah send it from your phone.
    Your computer has no knowledge of your phones phone number, it is not a phone.

  • When I'm texting somebody it shows their number not their name how do I change that?

    Whenever I'm texting somebody their number shows up and I wanna see their name when I'm messaging them. How do I change it using the IPod 5th generation?

    On the recipient's device, the "name" displayed for the sender is based on the information for the email address (or email address)  you used to send the Message in the recipients Contact app.

  • ICHAT shows an IM name that is the sender that is not the name on the account. How do I change the name of the sender? Make sense?

    On my IChat accountn when I send a message to someone it shows a name, for example.
    John Doe (IM):
    Hello
    John doe is not my name. Mine for the sake of discussion will be
    Jim Nabors
    Why is John Doe showing up on my sent ICHAT texts when its not associated with my account?

    Hi,
    Can I check I have Understood this correctly ?
    You are saying if You send the IM the Buddy sees the name "John Doe" instead of "Jim Nabors" ?
    If this is an AIM login name there can be several reasons for this.
    1) AIM allow Display names to be used.
    Most people will remember setting this and tend to add Capitals and Spaces to their "Name"
    If you Visit AIM Settings you can check your Display Name (if there is one)
    Mine look like this when I have signed in
    I have it set to display iChat Guru
    2) iChat takes the naes in the Buddy List you have and combines that with the Address Book entries (an entry has to list a person's Screen Name)
    That causes the iChat Buddy List to display their "Real Name" (or whatever you added as their "First Name, Last Name")
    It could be that your Buddy calls you "John Doe" in their Address Book.
    The only way you can be sure is to have them take a Screen Shot  of the chat and send it to you.
    (best to use some phrase or pic so you are certain is going to be you only)
    Example Bonjour Chat with me at both ends.
    I have the View Menu > Messages set to to display Names and Buddy Pics  so the left hand "Buddy" shows my name as in the Address Book on the other computer (even though I use the same pic)
    This leads on to what iChat shows you at your end.
    In the header it can show your your "Handle" (Screen Name) or your Real Name as it appears in the address Book at the My Card entry.
    The Address Book tends to have the name in the My Card of the person that created the Mac User Account.
    This can mean that if your are logged on to the Mac as someone else that this will display at your End.
    Only your Screen Name is sent to the other end.
