Hi! I've just purchased a new iPhone 5s but whenever I text people with iPhones it's always sent from my iCloud account. This means that my email show instead of my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

Hi! I've just purchased an iPhone 5S but whenever I text people with iPhones it sends from my iCloud account. This means that my email comes up for other people not my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive> Is your phone number checked there? If you do not want your email used, then tap on them and remove the checkmark. If there is no checkmark by your phone number, then turn iMessage off, perform a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn iMessage on. When it activates, check your settings again under Send and Receive and make sure the number is checked and the emails are not.

  • Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
    Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
    Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

    From the Safari menu bar, select

    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I'm having a problem accessing Bupers Online using my CAC reader. I get an error that says safari can't establish a secure connection to the website. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having a problem accessing Bupers Online on OS X Mountain Lion. I get an error that says Safari cant establish a secure connection with Bupers Online. Does anyone have any tips to access Bupers?

    I don't use CAC certificates, but since updating to 10.9.3, I too am getting the same error, BUT only with some HTTPS sites (e.g., https://webmail.pairlite.com), not all. Meanwhile, Firefox (was 12.0, now 29.0.1) connects with no issue.
    I too have verified date/time is set automatically, checked for (and fixed) disk integrity errors and permissions, and rebooted, all to no avail.
    Update:
    Well...heck. Tried accessing the problematic site via the Guest account, and that WORKED. So...back to the drawing board.

  • When I download photos from my camera in preview, I get duplicates on my desktop. Does anyone know how to stop this?

    I have been downloading (Importing) some photos from my camera, using Preview. As I select them to import and hit the button "Import", they are immediately saved on my desktop, rather than just appearing in Preview, wher I normally choose which ones I wish to save. Is there a way I can stop this happening? I am using a iMac intel with OS 10.6.8 and Preview version 5.0.3.
    Normally, when I Import, I get a preview window with the images I chose. I dont get a secnt set on my desktop.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Desmond

    Thank you for your response.
    I am sorry I should have said Image Capture not Previews. The files end up as duplicates on my desktop or in Pictures. I was told by someone that the same thing happens in iPhoto as well as not being able to select which photos to save and that using Image Capture should be better.
    My iPhoto is version 8.1.2 and Image Capture is 6.0.1.
    Thanks

  • Iphone 4 voice Dial used to work great, but now, I can't get it to recognize voice commands. When i give it a command to call someone, it ends up repeating someone elses name and starts the call. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    I have an I phone 4 with 32g.  The voice dial used to work just fine, but now it doesn't recognize the words and ends up saying someone elses name and starts calling the wrong person.  It even won't recognize a number when spoken to it and speaks back and calls the wrong numbers.
    Lately, the phone has really slowed down.  I am not sure if this is the problem.. I have closed all the open apps and deleted any extra picture off the card and extra songs that I have downloaded and the slow problem still exists. 
    Would a reset work to restore the phone to factory settings and if I then resync the phone, would all contacts pictures and songs be restored?

    What is wrong with your Mac?  You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
    the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine
    What do you mean by "wasn't fine".  We can't see your computer so you'll have to describe what your're experiencing in detail without the editorializing.
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.

  • Editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    iTunes 12.1.0.50
    late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.10.2
    I can no longer edit or add the track information for tv shows and movies.  If, for example, there are 26 episodes of a tv show in a season and I want to edit their entries in iTunes to reflect 1 of 26, 2 of 26, 3 of 26, and so on, how do I do that?  With the 12.1 update, they took away the old info box.  Very irritating.

    The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.
    So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).
    Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Subler to edit movies/TV shows.

  • Everytime I open my laptop, Lightroom tries to import photos from my hard drive. Does anyone know how to stop this?Is there a default I need to change?

    Everytime I open my laptop, Lightroom opens and tries to import photos from my external drive. Is there a default I need to change?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Error -36 is, as X423424X says, a generic I/O error. It doesn't say anything about what caused the error, or indeed where it occurred (source or target).
    You have to describe exactly your action when the error occurs. Is the ext'l drive you mentioned formatted as NTFS (Win default file system)? Without additional software, Mac OS X cannot write to NTFS, it can only read from it.

  • Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages saying "Move to iCloud." Does anyone know why this happens? Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages telling me to switch to iCloud. Why? How do I fix this?

    Get messages where? Have you signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe? - if you haven't, you should first go to the iDisk pane and stop iDisk sycing if it's running, then go to the Sync pane and stop any syncing, then go to Account and sign out.
    if you still get problems, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

  • My new iphone 4 does not have any sound when recording a video with the camera app.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I just got a new white iphone 4.  When I try to take a video using the camera app, there is only a muffled sound.  I never had this problem with my old iphone.  I tried to restore it and that didn't help.  I checked over all of the settings.  Does anyone know how to fix this??  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    There is a good possibility that your trimming of the SIM card could have damaged it some way. If the SIM was working in the old phone, then you cut it and the first new phone didn't work and now this phone doesn't work, it leads me to believe it has to do with the SIM card or the account. You are sure there is no problem with the account. Did you check with the provider when you got the iPhone 4 to make sure there was no problem with the account when you could not send or receive SMS? Why can't you just get a micro-sim? The iPhone should have come with one when you purchased it.The iPhone 4 is designed for a micro-sim. I don't believe this is a hardware problem unless the phone has been hacked or modified in some manner.

    I added a new email account and now Im getting over 2000 emails. Does anyone know how to stop this?!

    Wait until it finishes. It's just downloading the headers of the emails in your account and caching them offline for quick access. Once it has finished it will go back to just downloading new emails as normal.

Thank you.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close

    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    If you Google ipod nano 6th generation manual, you can download the PDF manual. Here's a quote from page 19:
    Transfer purchased content to another computer:
    1 Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    2 Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer.
    3 In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod.
    Songs that are not from the iTunes store can be copied to the new computer, and you just have to do File>Add to Library to get them into iTunes. And if you don't plan to continue using your old computer, you should deauthorize it because you only get 5 authorizations for iTunes store purchases, and this will cancel out the authorization on the old computer.
