Where did Apple get my Alias? How can I change it?

I have no idea why Apple is using this name as my Alias on everything. It's not something I would have ever chosen, so it must have been taken from a form somewhere. Questions:
1) Where did it come from?
2) How can I change it?
3) If I can't change it, why not?
4) If I can't change it, how can I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Hi, Donnie (or unknown) -
#1 - Don't know. Perhaps if your machine is a used one, the previous owner has autofill set in the browser with that for the name field. Or, if it is your name, if you did not specify something else as an alias it probably grabbed your name.
#2 - You can't.
#3 - Because the forum software will not permit the change of an alias for anyone. Once an account has been created, the alias is locked for that account. You can change the associated email address and password, but not the alias.
#4 - You can't. Once an account has been created it exists, and can not be made to not-exist.
What you can do, though, is to no longer use that one. Create a new account, insert the alias you prefer, and let the old one age off into pages where no one looks.

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine. Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
How can I change this email address?
Thank you in advance

Yes, that is correct.
I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results. So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address. Not sure why or how to change it?
Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
Thanks again

How do I know where my account is registered and how can I change that?

Hi,
Whenever I try to pay Acrobat XI, I get the message that the country of my registration is wrong. How do I know, in which country my account is registered and how can I change that?
It seems, that my account is registered in Austria, but I work now in the Netherlands. What is there to do?
Thanks for your help

Hi Michael ,
You can log in to Adobe.com with your credentials and you can change your region or country from the option "Change Region" at the bottom left of the page .
From there you can change your region and select the preferred one and make the payments.
Hope this will work .

I have been purchasing songs on itunes for a year. I just got a new computer and I synched my iphone to it. I had over 100 songs, now I have only 10. Where did my music go and how can I get it back?

I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

HT203167 im missing a lot of music where did it go? and how can i get it back

im missing a lot of music where did it go and how do i bring it back on my library

No way for anyone here to know where it went, as you have provided no info about your issue.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

My photos has hundreds of garbage images. They are gfx and 'Resources'. How did they get there and how can I get rid of them?

After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

   After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases). I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing. When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad. Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first). I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.). This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content. Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
   I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does. It'll just take a little time to sort out. Thanks for any suggestions! -Bob-

Hi Jeremy,
    That is my understanding. Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account.
   But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only. I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
   That's correct--it will not delete your purchases. You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff. -Bob-

HT1918 I am in Australia but my Apple ID says US, how can I change this?

I need to change my country to add a credit card to my account and edit my shipping address

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

Where is the DDE Palette and how can I change the icons in the user vi-libraries?

I am using a german version of LV6.02. I can't find the DDE vi's in the function palette, even though the dde.llb exists alongside the other communication vi-libraries (HiQ, ActiveX). I tried copying dde.llb into user.lib, but the icon doesn't appear (yes, I did restart LV).
The second part of my question: is it possible to edit the icon (symbol) and the name of a user vi-library? The menu EDIT>EDIT FUNCTION AND CONTROL PALETTES does not appear in the LV version I am using.

In order to edit a palette in LabVIEW 6, click on the options button that is on the top row of either the Functions or Tools palette. You can use this to either edit the icon, name or add the DDE functions. I suspect that the DDE functions were removed from the palette because DDE is pretty much obsolete technology. Microsoft wants everyone to use ActiveX instead.

HT204053 i used wrong apple id at setup how can i change it now

I was restoring itouch and i used wrong apple id in icloud set up. is there a way i can change it now?

Settings>iCloud>Delete Account. Choose if you want to delete or keep the data from the wrong ID in your iPhone. If you choose "delete from iPhone" the data will not delete from iCloud server. The add a new iCloud account with the ID you want.
Maybe you want to change the Apple ID in iMessage and FaceTime to. Go to settings>messages/FaceTime to sign out and back in with the ID you want.

My ipad iCloud mail continually freezes ALL of my email when I get spam. How can I change that?

After the latest update, my ipad iCloud mail freezes when I get spam. It freezes all email. I have to go to PC, and erase the mail before I can use it again. So far I haven't found any settings on ipad or iCloud on the PC to limit what email I receive.
The spam messages cannot just be trashed from ipad.
There's got to be a way to stop the spam!
Thanks, Kathyellen
