Change name on iPad (iCloud account)

I'm trying to figure out how to change my name on the account on the iPad iCloud.  It is true, when I go into "manage Apple ID" online.  I got divorced 4 years ago.  On the iPad, it shows the old family name.  I changed the name to address email correctly, but the account itself still shows the old name.

On the iPad, I clicked on 'settings', then in iCloud.  I click on my name and see the options to change.  See the photo below.  When I click on "contact information", there is no option to change the name.  Where and how can I do this?

When you change the data on your Apple ID, you may need to log out and then log in again on each device. Last year, I changed the information on mine and it worked, but the process is annoying if you use several services (such as iCloud, iMessage, iTunes, etc.) because you need to disconnect from each of them individually.

  • Deletion and creation of a primary drive on iPad Icloud account

    My employer has provided me with an Ipad Air2 for work.  I put it to the top with my current Apple I.D. and iTunes account I have with my personal iPhone.  For simplicity and storage space, I would like to remove my existing account of the iCloud drive and create a new dedicated strictly for my iPad to work.  Is this possible without resetting everything on the iPad?

    I created a new I.D. Apple and I relaize you can use this secondary ID to access iCloud drive, what I want is a separte to iCloud drive dedicated for the iPad.

    Your help is appreciated,

    Settings/iCloud and existing sign of your Apple ID and then connect you with new Apple ID. This should give you a different drive than associated iCloud to your identifying existing.

  • My iCloud account has been hacked. Help!

    My son has just tried to pi me using my iCloud account.  Before that I could pick up on my iPad, the call is disconnected.  He called again a few seconds later and asked what just happened. He then explained that on his end, that first call FT has been picked up by a white man aged 12 to 16 years he had never seen before!  My son asked who he was and the kid responded with the part of the name of my iCloud account!  Son disconnected from the call.  This has happened again about 10 min. later when he tried to call me again.  Same kid!

    What should I do now? Is all my stuff at risk and how to change what should be changed in order to secure again? It's very... troubling and scary!

  • How can I change the name that is displayed for my iCloud account?

    When I connect to my iCloud account or view it in settings on my iPad, my husband name, rather than mine, is displayed next to my e-mail address.  I checked my address book to make sure that my iCloud email address is not listed under his name.  Probably we sometimes a place I use his name in conjunction with my e-mail, because there is no to all computers.  I connected thinking iCloud I would find a way to change the display name on my account and could not thin anything.  Is there a way?  It has not always done.  I noticed only recently.

    You should be able to change the name on your ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com/Apple. Sign in to your ID in the first section (account), click on the "Edit" button, and the name on the account should be included among the information that you can change.

  • Someone stole my phone and when I came back, their iCloud account was on him and the password has been changed. What can I do?

    My phone was stolen recently while I was at Walmart. Sprint located the phone 4 hours later (after saying earlier that they could not do it at all) and sent a message to inform him that had the phone that he had been located. The phone was found at Walmart soon after. When I got the phone back, I noticed that the phone has been restored to the factory settings and the password has been changed. I restored the phone myself using iTunes, but now I'm stuck on the activation screen because they put their iCloud account in my phone (I never put one up myself, not knowing that this would cause this kind of problems) and I do not know the password. I've lost all the photos of my son (he was two weeks previously and I had not copied to my computer yet) and voice messages, I have saved my father who died last year. And now I have a rental phone that costs me $60 / month, that I can't use. Sprint said there is nothing they can do. I called Apple and received no help from their part is there something I can do?

    It requires the Apple ID and password of the thief. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you.

    Check in the future first before you buy second hand: How to check for Activation lock before buying a second hand iPhone.

    You can take it to any Apple Store with the proof of it being stolen and that your are the original owner. They may be able to help. If not, then you will need get a new one or pay for a replacement by a similar remanufactured unit.

    I have an iPad with iOS 3 9, my problem is that iPad have the former owner iCloud account and can't get in touch with him and I don't know the password to remove his account, of course, I want to use my icloud account.

    Well, unfortunately, you can not. The phone you bought is locked with a lock Activation and only the person who put the lock on or someone who knows that people Apple ID and password can remove it. Return it for a refund if you can. You will never be able to sign with your iCloud ID, and if you ever restore the device, you won't be able to use it.

  • Someone logged into my icloud account also I changed my password else to do I do?

    Someone logged into my icloud account also I changed my password else to do I do? What other steps should I take? Should cancel my credit card?

    You probably don't need to cancel the cards, but you should keep a very close eye on them for unauthorized purchases that must be reported immediately to the issuing company. However if you have reason to believe that the person really knows the details of your card then you should discuss the cancellation of the card with their transmitters.

    Change the password to a strong should keep the offender out, but you should consider the creation of a two-step verification. With this, anyone (including you) your account needs both the password and a code sent by SMS to your mobile phone. This puts an end dead to anyone else is even if they guess the password.

    Please visit this page for more information: frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

    If you are going ahead with this, please note that you will receive a 'recovery code' that can be used if you lose the phone or forget the password. You need to keep it safe. Signing in requires two on the password, the phone or code recovery and if you lose both of them you will be permanently locked out and Apple cannot help you.

  • iCloud Photo Library Download stuck after changing icloud account

    This is FYI if someone of another encounter the same problem, I've had.

    My daughter Mac and iphone used a common icloud account that has been set up for the family some time ago.   She had a lot of photos stored in icloud, through Photos.  We decided to create account it with his own icloud and itunes recently.

    The first question icloud was in its disconnection from the old account.  The message that you will lose pictures and videos that are not fully downloaded to the Mac we fear for a few days because there is no easy way that we could find to determine in advance what photos and videos were not fully downloaded.  So, we tried for these days download all photos and videos but did not seem to make any progress.  After a few days, we have bet that we could continue with disconnection and risk losing the photos and videos they would be still in icloud under the old account.  Then we saw on the screen depending on who told us that we will lose only 3 photos and 1 video - too bad that the screen has not come earlier.  So we disconnected.

    The second question icloud came after connected to the new icloud account and tried to get his Mac photos to sync up to pictures of icloud.  We spent 2 or 3 days waiting for them to update and 2 separate calls with Apple support but no resolution.  There were two additional things, I noticed: 1) the iCloud library update bar (under preferences/Photos/account) remained empty (i.e., no green progress bar) for 2 or 3 days indicating no progress has been made and 2) next to the heading 'ICloud photo library' was the message in red that I had 29 (then 28 then 27) days to download my photos to icloud prior to their removal.  It made me suspicious that it was a reference to the photos under the old account and I was connected to the new account.  So, today, I bet and disconnected the new icloud account and once again had the same 3 photos and 1 video message would be deleted, that I accepted.  Then I signed in to the new account icloud, got informed that I had too little space on the new account to all the pictures and videos to download, I opted for more space (paying), end connection, then pictures/properties/account and viola, iCloud library update bar now give me 1) a number of pictures to download and green 2) in the progress bar.

    So, to summarize:

    1. If you're worried about losing your photos (or other files) If you disconnect your icloud account, note 1) you should be able to recover if you reconnect to the account and 2) that there is a window that will tell you how much you will lose (even if have never heard you those who), and
    2. If the synchronization ends up with no apparent progress made (especially no count of how many must be synchronized or no visible 'green' progress) then a possible solution is to disconnect, and then reconnect to your icloud account.

  • I changed my iCloud account and all my contacts are gone?

    Hello

    My husband and I shared the same iCloud account, which has recently caused problems. So tonight, I deleted his iCloud account and added my own.  Since that all my contacts disappeared!  I tried a sign-out and return in the original iCloud account but it then gives me all the contacts from my husband and not mine?

    I have a backup on my mac for a year, but if I restore this backup phone he will remove all new things, messages from photos, applications etc?

    don't know what to do?

    Have you and your husbands contacts mixed up at some point in all of this? If Yes, what you could do to iCloud.com login to your Mac with the original account and go to settings. In the lower left corner, click the option restore contacts. You can restore the State of the iCloud contacts on this account to the archived dates, as you see in this area. When you do this, it creates a backup of the contacts in their current state, if you find that you need to return the contacts to be what he had here before you went here. If you restore the contacts on a date that seems to recover your contacts as well, (you want to be logged on your iPhone with this account then what is happening and contacts switched on the account) then after the contacts seem to have stopped catering to go forward and turn in iCloud on your iPhone contacts and choose to keep on the iPhone when the ability to delete them from your iPhone. After having done that, open a session on this account, sign in with your account and merge contacts when you are prompted to. That will push your contacts in your own iCloud.

    Don't forget to go to the backup on iCloud.com after all this is done and go to settings to restore the Contacts in their archives when they were just appearing as contacts of husbands.

  • How to prevent file sharing automatic connection with the commune iCloud account?

    I have access to my Mac remotely and always assumed that if I did not check the box pw to remember when asking username/pw I would always need to enter pw to access a remote volume.  This, of course, is the case usually except that I noticed that I have three computers (home, office, mobile) with the same user name and I can connect to the remote volume by simply entering the IP address of the target computer. I receive no request for pw.  This occurs despite the Macs with different user pw. I went to keychain in public services and did ' t see the pw of file sharing, so I guess they are in iCloud keychain.  All 3 Macs have the same username and the same iCloud account, and I have iCloud Keychain selected on all 3 Macs.  Potential problems would be if someone stole my cell phone when I signed to or if someone at work was playing with my computer after hours - they can then access my home computer (or vice versa). If it is stored in iCloud Keychain, so I don't see an obvious way to change.  So I disabled the option of trousseau in iCloud in system preferences on my laptop, not saved in keychain to my Mac and restarted; When I tried to access my home Mac, it helped to connect without my pw but I have noticed that at the top of the window, text says 'connected as [email protected]'- real username omitted here.  Is anyway to avoid this short of having each Mac journal on an account different iCloud (then would lose Sync calendars etc.). Thank you
