Wrong name during developer program signupp.

Hi Mattivc
& welcome to the forums...

This is one of those parameters that can't be as easily changed as some others, I believe. You may need to establish contact directly with Apple for this one.

Start here for example to check on the latest contact options, etc.:

https://developer.apple.com/iphone/news/

As i turned 18 not to long ago i suspect it comes from my account being connected to his credit card in the iTunes store,

Yep, I agree that his name on the iTunes account is in use during your dev registration attempts. You apparently need to try change the basic iTunes account information, either by getting rid of that one and establishing another one with your name, or by changing the billing information on the account as it exists now.

If you go into the iTunes application and click on the user name, top right and log in, you can see a summary of active account information.

Is the name in use when you try to register as a dev, the same name that is on that account?

Can you update the account with your valid name and c'card info, etc.?

Have to ask if you carefully reviewed the dev signup requirements to confirm you can satisfy them going forward etc.

iTunes customer service is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

...perhaps they can help you determine the shortest route, etc.

The registered/authorized account owner will have the access logon/password to the contact pages and Apple may only deal with someone that is authorized on that account.

If you aren't working on your own paid account (or you haven't been added), you may not have any control.

i havent signed upp for the feveloper program yet

Sorry, but I don't understand how you can have an incorrect name on an account if you haven't signed up yet....

ah, wait...I think I understand now, sorry. You may be using a computer where someone else has created an Apple account for iTunes/Forums, etc. (not an existing dev account). This name shows up when you try to sign up as a dev I guess. Right? Any existing developer accounts nearby?

Are you using your own logon on the computer or just sharing his account? Do you have your own existing Apple/iTunes/Store account? If so, use a different browser, say Firefox vs. Safari and/or restart to be sure the other account is logged out.

If this is the case, and there is no pre-existing developer account, you shouldn't need to contact Apple...you just need to convince the form that you are a different/unique user and go from there. The wrong name that is shown perhaps needs to be logged out from iTunes, Safari, etc.

If you expect to share a computer going forward, you may want to go as far as creating your own logon on that computer if you haven't done so already.
