Why did Apple assign the wrong name to my AppleID, and how do I change it? I'm setting up an iPad for Mom's birthday. In the process, I created her an AppleID, and typed in her name. Signing into iCloud using her ID shows my name instead.  How do I fix this?
If the name on the Apple ID or the billing address is incorrect, you can fix it at https://appleid.apple.com

You can edit the name on the account here...


And you can edit the billing name here...


(Look for the Edit buttons.)
