You cannot change your own user name, it requires a forum host to do it. There is already someone with the username Tys0n. Open your profile and replace nkgkpsg in the URL with alternate names you might like to use. Use + instead of a space if needed. If the username already exists you'll see the profile, otherwise you get something like this:

Looking for something in Apple Support Communities?

Once you find a name you like that isn't in use pop back here and let me know, and I can put in a request on your behalf.

How come mine shows "pamelafromoak park" for the username, but when I open the profile page as you directed, it shows what I want, which is "Pamoola?" Can you request that my username be changed to match?

Thanks

This is all so confusing to me. Why all this hassle to do such basic things... 😕

Hmm, not so sure on that one. Change your Apple ID - Apple Support might cover it, although that might have other implications depending on where else you make use of the Apple ID.

tt2 has worked the magic

FWIW, you were not "assigned" the UserName - you were "Offered" it as a suggestion when the one you first entered as the one you desired was already taken - you forget that this is not our first rodeo 😉

Stuff like this happens when you get in a hurry and fail to pay close attention

You can find a direct email address regarding this very kind of thing in Apple Support Communities Use Agreement §1.13

Sometimes it pays to read these things

We cannot post at the top of the thread (unless it becomes a solved, helpful, or recommended answer which is then moved to the top by the hosts).

And, there is really no "solution" except that:

1. You cannot change it yourself, so you must ask here.

2. We cannot change it - only the hosts can; but someone with enough points can report your post to the hosts (you cannot report your own post).

3. Once one of the hosts sees the report, they will/may contact you. It is completely up to the hosts whether or not they will allow a change.

Personally, I thought about it for some time before I decided which username I wanted to use (rather than trying to be funny, silly, or whatever and shortly thereafter regretting my unfortunate choice).

All that I wanted to do was get some feedback on an Apple TV media question, after submitting I was assigned a forum user name listing my name, which is also my fathers name, and the city my father lives in. Why was I not asked to create a user name? Also how can I change it?

Why don't they show our appleid when we have to decide our username, which is unchangeable and linked to the appleid forever.

And why don't they tell us all these before we confirm our username?

This is not so user-friendly.

I don't know. I was surprised to learn that other venues actually let you change your username! In those places, I would never know if I was looking at a person that I knew or not! When I was born, I was given a name. It turns out you have to go to court to legally change your name! I can call myself Rumplestiltkin, but here, I will always be ChitlinsCC.

My point is not about the unchangeable name. My point is that they should tell us which appleid we are naming for.

There wouldn't be so many people having this problem now if they showed everything clearly.

I agree that when children are born, they are given names that are not so easy to be changed.

That's why you want to name the right child. You don't want to name someone else's child.

Here at the "Change Forum User Name Forum" we pride ourselves on helping people change their user name.

All a person has to is ask and possibly suggest a new name.

We'll politely ask the hosts and if they smile upon us the user name is changed in minutes.

Yes I agree it is simply hard to change Apple user id created nevertheless you can sign in your Apple account where you can go and make amendments.

Go to profile edit profile select privacy tab then select who can see your personal information or particular details about your account.

But you cannot change your forum username, which is what this thread is about.
