How do I change my apple community name?

And it looks like it worked!

I passed it on.

Someone here with reporting privileges has to notify a moderator and, yes, they use email to contact you. As another end user, I have no way to know if there are alternate contact methods used, just that changing is not self-serve.

The current system exists because, at one time, people were changing names daily and causing a great deal fo confusion here, including using the ability to change to abuse other members. A handful of people made life difficult or everyone.

I will notify the mods of your questions and you can see if that works out.

I've reported your name-change request to the Hosts. However, I suspect that "Mike" may not be available.

You may be correct ..... There appear to be approximately 60,000 users with some version of Mike in their user profile.

Actually, I think someone already had and I didn't read the post carefully.... Need more coffee.

Hello ~ I have passed along your request to our hosts.

I am an end user and can only relay messages. I can't fix, but have sent a second note to the mods. If you do not want to set up email yet, I have no idea what options they have to work with you.

As there are an estimated 3 million English-speaking users of these forums world-wide, many short names are already taken.

That's all I can do here.

Hello~ I have contacted our hosts for you and you should expect an email. Take care!
