Why can't I change my "from" name when sending email in iCloud

I can't change my name as it appears in the 'from" when sending from icloud,
Thanks,

if I try to add a calendar it won't let me change the name of it.
Not sure what you mean. Do you add a new calendar? Then you don't "change" but give it a new name. Or do you want to change an existing one. Then you're back to my first response here, if nothing else.

  • Mail is not giving from information when sending emails

    Having issues when sending email to recipients, it does notgive my info. in the from section.

    Nope, i can send individual emails ; however, my information(from:) is not being shown. So individuals recieve email from me without my information, and could be considered as spam.

  • How can I conceal my personal name when sending email out from my iCloud email account?

    I prefer to keep my first and last name private when I send e-mail about for my iCloud account. In the body of an e-mail, if it's a personal correspondence and appropriate, I will THEN elect to provide my full name. But I don't want my first and last name appearing involuntarily in the header of my e-mail as it arrives in the recipients inbox.
    I called tech support and spent 90 minutes on the phone on Sept. 23 and we did not manage to arrive at a solution. Revealing the first and last name connected to the account should always be an "elective" item. Privacy is paramount these days and not every e-mail you send out is solely for trusted friends and relatives. In age of Internet privacy woes, discretion should be the default and exposure of personal information the exception.
    Might anyone be able to help? Thanks!

    Hi allinforapple,
    If you are concerned about your full name being associated with emails your send from iCloud, you may find the following articles helpful. If the concern is about the address itself (i.e. [email protected], if you happen to have an address like that), you are able to create an Alias address tied to your account. If that is not a concern, you can also change the Full Name associated with your current address from the same Preferences > Accounts menu:
    iCloud: About email aliases
    iCloud: Create or change email aliases
    Regards,

  • Changing the font size when sending email out from the iPad with MobileMe

    Is there a way from the iPad, or from my MacBook to the iPad, that I can increase the size of the font when typing outgoing mail? I use MobileMe on both my iPad and MacBook. My sister has cataracts and she needs the type size larger than what is already set on the iPad outgoing mail. I can make the type size larger for my incoming mail - I guess I did it through iPad settings -but I can't seem to figure out how to make it larger for my outgoing mail. I would prefer to be able to answer her on my iPad than having to switch back to my Mac each time she writes. Thank you.

    I guess what I am looking for is a toolbar when I am sending email so that I can change the font size, change the typeface, make words bold, underline them
    I don't think you will find any app that does that, it's the kind of feature only Apple can add. You can tell them here:

  • HT201356 Why can't I change my "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" to an email address using an Apple domain?

    I am trying to use an Apple EMail address as my primary email address and I am unable to change it. I previously had another "nonapple" address identified as my Apple ID and Primary Email address. Now I apparantly can only change it to another "non Apple" related email address. It seems stupid to have to go to Google and use thier email address to make a change.
    What gives.

    Thanks Roger! I understand that it is an Apple ID already that makes sense. That "non Apple " address however, is compromised and I do not wish to use it anymore and will be shutting it down. I find it strange that I must only identify a "Non Apple" address as my "primary email address". I have an alias address on the account and I can sign in using it as my Apple ID. i don't see the Logic in forcing someone to use another email provider as your primary mail service. (I know I can set up alias's and use them under an Apple domain, but the primary email will still be there and I understand used for any account communications from Apple.) Any further comments on this situations?

  • Why can't Lightroom open files from OneDrive when I try to add them to the catalogue?

    It finds the files, says that they aren't available for preview, and if I try to import them anyway, it says that it can't open the files. They are jpeg from IOS and are only available online.

    Yes, it turned out to be a version issue. The current version number at the time was 2014.8.2.something. My version was one version older. Pays to update right away!

  • Why can't I upload photos from iPhoto to an email in gmail?

    The folder where the file is located will not show in finder when trying to choose photos to upload to a gmail email.

    Upload directly from iPhoto. Select your photos and then select Share. iPhoto questions are best handled in the iPhoto forum of all places.

  • Remove name when sending email

    Sometimes when I send out an email I don't like my name to be included in the "from" field.
    I know I can change my name in the preferences of the mail app. but isn't there an easier way to do it on the fly?

    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap on your email account. You can change the Name in the settings for that particular account. Where it is in settings is going to depend on what kind of email account you have. For example, for iCloud, I tap on my account name under Advanced.

  • 'From' field when sending eMail...

    I'm using Mail, Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
    When I send an eMail... the FROM: field always shows my name, ie - From: My Name <[email protected]>
    How can I set it up to NOT display My Name?
    I would much rather have it say - From: Alias <[email protected]>
    Is there a way to do this?

    I have Gmail set up on my G5, at home, but not this iBook I am using from my daughter's house. Gmail does not lend itself to use from more that one computer and/or email client. However, I use it, primarily to test to help others.
    I think the Gmail SMTP is identifying you, and not the entry you place in Mail's preferences. When you send with the Gmail SMTP, your sent message is archived not only on your Mac's HD, but also on the Gmail server, for you to see using web access. This is different from more typical POP accounts. If you use the Cox SMTP (might require you to have at least set a POP account with them) as the Outgoing Server for the Gmail account, then I think what you place in the Mail Preferences Full Name entry will be included, and not your actual name.
    However, I will have to get home to test this. You probably will have a chance to test it, before I do.

  • I have a problem with mail autofilling info email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States email address . I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is...How can I fix/change to my name?

    I have an irritating problem with mail autofilling info in email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States <my email address>. I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is or how it got to be there...How can I fix/change to my name?
    I fixed the To: autofilling incorrectly by deleting my email address from the Previous Recipients List, but is there a way to stop that from coming up on emails that I receive?

    Have you checked your Mac address book? If your email is saved somewhere in your address book with the name "Holidays in the United States" it might be adding the name automatically in Mac Mail.
    Alternatively, try this:
    Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail
    To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:
    Start typing the recipient's address or name in a new message.
    Select the desired address from the auto-complete list as if you'd compose an email to them.
    Click the small down arrow in the recipient.
    Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.
    You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:
    Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
    Highlight the address you want to remove.You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Command key.
    Click Remove from List.
