Wrong Name Associated With iPhone

Hey guys,
I just recently used the new Maps app on my iPhone 4S (iOS 7) to text somebody my location when I noticed the name that came up on the link/picture is wrong. My name is Ryan and my last name begins with an S, and since I also have a friend on my contacts list with the same first name (Ryan) and last letter of last name (S) the phone somehow thinks that that individual is me. I also noticed that next to my friends name in the contacts list it says "me". I have no idea how to fix this! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tip! I would have done that right now but i deleted him off my contact list since i thought it might have somehow fixed the problem but its still registering as my friend.

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem.

Changing name associated with iphone user

I went through a name change last year and got an iphone in January. The bill, the name of the phone, my email, my apple ID - all have my correct and new last name. However, when I send out emails on the phone or when I download a new app - the name that gets used is my old last name. I have tried looking in all sorts of areas on the phone as to where this info is coming from - and I cant figure it out!
-Please help!

Wrong name associated with my account

Running iChat 4.0, OS X 10.5.1 with my gmail account. I attempted to add a buddy (my aunt) and apparently did so incorrectly. Her name never showed up on my buddy list, and now when I set my account to "View as Name", HER name shows up instead of mine. I've tried deleting the account and starting over, but it must be cached somewhere because it keeps doing this. I've found several plist files related to iChat, but none of them have her name in them, so I don't think that's where it's getting this information.
Anyone have any ideas?

I hate when this happens.... I no sooner finished typing the initial post, when I decided to try one more thing, changing the "Description" field in the preferences. This worked. Oddly, the previous data in that field was NOT my aunt's name, but was my gmail account. Nevertheless, when I changed it to my name, it fixed the issue.
Just wanted to update this in case anyone else ran into this issue.

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 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.

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.

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!

I updated to IOS 5 and In transferrig all my music to the ipad1, some of the albums no longer have the artist name associated with it..So when I search by artist name, it only shows they have one album when it should be two..
Also switching between songs, artist, album is very very painfully slow..seems like the music app hangs sometimes.
Tried many times resyncing and deleting but didn't work..Anybody experiencing these problems??

I have the same problem, and after hours of trying to figure out the problem i finally did!! Its going to be a pain in the BUTT, but its the only way. :/

- "Title" aka songs name
- "Album artist"
- "Album"
-The rest of the stuff can be filled in if you want
4. Click OK
5. Drag it into itunes
Hope this help. ;D

Need to know schema name and table name associated with a column-URGENT

Hi folks,
I need to know the schema name and the table name associated with a column. Though jdbc has the api to getTableName and getSchemaName, some database vendor like oracle does return empty upon call of mentioned methods. I found that oracle driver does not support that
Can any one give me the solution? It is urgent. Or do you suggest any third pary jdbc driver which can provide those?
Thanks
Angelina

Angelina,
Your question has been discussed several times previously in this forum. Search this forum's archives for "getTableName". Oracle JDBC driver does not implement this (because "it is not feasible" -- according to Oracle).
First of all, I would suggest that you could probably change your application's logic so that you would not need this functionality (but I guess that is not feasible either, right :-)
Alternatively, you could try querying the Oracle database data dictionary.
Good Luck,
Avi.
