Change username of Apple Support Communities

Same issue here. Somehow I got this weird random string of letters, I can only imagine that at some point I must have keysmashed in a hurry to look at a post. If someone could get me in touch with the mods, I would be very grateful 🙂

Anyone at level 2 (150 points) or higher can report a post for review. Most often this capability is used to report ToU violations, but there are options to just pass on requests.

This is what the report screen looks like:

Unfortunately you cannot have that name as it is already taken by Tai le, even though they don't seem to be active. I will ask the hosts to reach out to you. You might want so research alternatives by adding the name you want onto the URL https://discussions.apple.com/people/ use + instead of space. You'll either hit an active profile or a "Looking for something in Apple Support Communities?" message in which case that name is free.

I am guessing that you are receiving notices of activity on the topic

Bootcamp "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" error.

choose the link above > then choose the dark gray [Following] button near the top right of the page so that it changes to a transparent [Follow] button

This will UNsubscribe you from the thread

FWIW, you will NOW be "following" THIS thread as well, so you may want to do a similar action on it too 😉

My Email aren't coming thru at all. Have no idea what's wrong. can anyone help?

You start by starting your own thread as your problem is unrelated to this thread. Be sure to explain what devices you're using, what version of the system software, what, if any, error messages you're seeing.

And by the way, I understand protecting the hosts from being contacted by anyone about anything, but isn't this a slightly insane system for fixing username problems?

In the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use you will find the email address for the Hosts in § 1.13 along with language that would encompass someone having a problem with their username

😁

@ChitlinsCC: A-ha! Thanks for that pointer. I must confess, I would not think to look in Terms of Use for such info, but maybe I should.

13. For questions or problems regarding your Apple Support Communities account, please post a question in the Using Apple Support Communities site, or email communityaccounts@apple.com

Perhaps this will let folks who find this discussion act a little more directly.

This thread (and others like it) OR starting one of your own is still the actual preferred way to get username changed

It is NOT supposed to be EASY

If you think about it, folks being able to change their usernames willy nilly at will would cause great confusion regarding who is who

Some folks are notorious and need an eye kept upon them by we user volunteers on the front lines

ONWARD INTO THE BREACH!

You apparently had a reading comprehension problem with the Terms of Use before you agreed to it. You should have got someone to help you with it. It is clearly stated that this is a user-to-user technical support site. There are Community Specialists here that respond to questions that have not been answered for 12 - 24 hours. But no one here is Apple management staff that makes the decisions of what features to change, remove, include etc. in iOS and the various Apple apps. If you want to complain about some feature that you used that has been changed or removed go here -> Feedback - iPhone - Apple you will not receive a response.

You have actually hijacked this thread, which has nothing to do with your complaint and is considered rude. And no, that was not a joke, millions of people here have received help with their technical problem. As far as whether iOS and the iPhone meets your needs that is up to you to determine. I don't care what you have used or what you decide is the best fit for you.

Hi. I believe things work differently there. I don't know if changing your username is possible but contact Apple Developer Support. Select Membership and Account, and then probably Other Membership or Account Questions. That should get you an email form with which you can make a request.

Dear all,

Same here, I never remember having been asked to choose my username! At that time I was living in Japan and it now shows my name from area and a Japanese sign.....

Would be grateful if a host can help me to change it?

Hi, are you still able to alert the Hosts about username changes? I'd be super grateful if you could alert them about mine. I was never asked to pick one and it just chose it automatically I guess? Thanks.

Hi turingtest2,

I recently came to apple community and accidentally create the wrong user name.

Could you still pass on the request for changing my user name, please? Really appreciated!!

Thank you and have a nice day!

Hello turingtest2,

I also recently came to apple community and accidentally specified a wrong username.

Could you pass on a request to change my username, please? Much appreciated!!

Thank you so much in advance!

Can you please also change my user name? I created mine by mistake as default one and it has privacy implications (name and city). I also already have another one on German support community, so it should be the same (ivan.s). Thanks in advance.
