Wrong name showing on my iCloud mail, even though the correct name is on my iCloud

Hi there,
My husband surprised me with an iPad the first year they came out. However, when he bought it, he used his name but my email address when he ordered it & had it set up. No matter how many times I have changed it, it still shows up in weird places, like now it shows his name when I send out emails from my new iCloud email account, even though when I look at my account, it shows my name not his, so I don't know where the problem is or how to fix it. It is the same whether I am on my iPhone, iPad, or PC. Thanks for any helpful suggestions you can give me! Julie  P.S. Now I see above it says "Welcome, leofromchaska" which I have never seen before (his name is Leo, but I haven't ever seen him use that ID), and I am on MY PC!

According to your profile (and activity list) this ID was created on the forum in 2011 and was last used to post a little over a year ago. This is not your Apple Id, however, nor should it have any impact on your email account..
Do you have an entry in your Contaacts app for the email in question? If so, what is on it? And what is set as your contact in settings? (Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > [scroll down to Contcats] > My Info   ?

  • HT204074 Our new iphone5 id name is the same as an existing still in use iphone4 in the family; if I remove the devise; change its name can I then immediately associate it with the correct name.

    I have read the HT4627 but I think my original question is more specific  Our new iphone5 id name is the same as an existing still in use iphone4 in the family; if I remove the devise; change its name can I then immediately associate it with the correct name.

    You can change the name of a device on it via Settings > General > About > Name - you shouldn't need to remove the association and then reassociate it.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • I cannot get ics calendar invites from Outlook to display the correct time in iCal even though the correct time is in the description. This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find an answer. Please help.

     

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • When I subscribe to a calendar it doesn't show events in my ical even though it is refreshed

    When I subscribe to a calendar it doesn't show events in my ical even though it is refreshed & is linked to iCloud - any ideas please?

    Is the calendar checked in the list of calendars in the popup menu in the upper left corner?

  • Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

    I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

    5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from 

    Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
    By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
    * Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
    * Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
    * General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
    I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

  • I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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 iPhone, 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 iPhone 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.

  • On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the Mail app on your iPad mini is showing that you have over 500 unread email messages, but your inbox is actually empty.
    There are several steps I'd use to troubleshoot this situation.
    First, restart your iPad to see if it clears up the symtom:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    If this doesn't correct the behavior, try removing and re-adding the affected email accounts next:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    If the same thing happens after re-adding the account, you may need to use the steps below to reinstall iOS. You may want to back up your iPad to iTunes before completing this step.
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    From:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • Clq status shows quorum server offline even though the clq service is runni

    Hi,
    In a 2 Node + 1 QS sun cluster 3.2 cluster, clq status is showing quorum sever offline even though the clq process is running on the quorum server. to make the quorum server online, i have to either remove and add the quorum server from cluster, or incase if there is a failure on any one of the node's both th nodes will reboot and once both joined to the cluster, I can see clq status showing quorum server online!!!
    Why is the quorum server going offline automatically?
    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Many thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I asssume you mean the scqsd process is running on the QS, right?
    A QS is shown as offline, it the monitor could not reach it when it last tried. This is usually due to a networking problem.
    If you issue a clq status, the monitor checks again and if it can reach the QS will change its status back to online.
    If this does not happen, check your logs, what kind of error message showed up.
    Does clqs show on the QS show the correct information?
    It is obvious, that if a node dies and the QS has been offline prior to the node death, that the other node will die as well due to lack of quorum, i.e. it has less votes than needed. You seem to have a basic networking problem or something is really wrong with your QS.

  • TS4003 Now have iCloud mail. But the 'Sent' folder messages (only) did not transfer from MobileMe Mail

    Now have iCloud mail. But the 'Sent' folder messages (only) did not transfer from MobileMe Mail.

    Your first theory may be correct.
    If you haven't already, change your password on your .mac account. That will stop any further action by the other fellow. Even if you can't tease out the detail of what happened exactly, you can at least fix the problem with the password change.
    Also if you left on good terms, contact the new owner of the workMac and ask if s/he used your .mac account.
