How can I change my Username?

Hi Eric. I was also hoping to hear from the hosts for a recommendation of what to change my username to. It looks like someone just changed my username to a random set of characters. I wanted to switch to my real name.

Thanks,

Tony

I'm heading in the opposite direction, in that I want to change my Log-in screen name from my real name to anything, a random string would be fine. I am uncomfortable than strangers can see my real name when I use this machine in a public space.

Hi Eric. My mistake. The hosts contacted me at the same time that they changed my username to the random string. In response to an email discussion they updated to my new handle, since my full name is already in use.

They also advised me that user name changes are an exception, so I am thankful to them for doing so, and to you, Eric, for initiating the conversation.

Thanks again! Cheers!

You can't change your username on here, only the hosts can potentially do so (which they generally only do for specific reasons e.g. privacy). If you would like it changed I could let the hosts know.

I've notified the hosts

Please notify the hosts for me too. Thanks!

I have notified the hosts for you.

I reported it to the hosts. If they are willing to change it, they should contact you by e-mail. It is up to them. You can send them an e-mail at applesupportcommunities@apple.com.

Thanks Eric. I sent them an email. I’ll see what they say. :-)

You are welcome.
