When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
Thanks in advance.

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

    Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
    This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
    You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
    Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
    Hope this helped

    When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
    There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen.  There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

  • When I send messages people are receiving them from my email account not my phone number

    When I send an iMessage, people are receiving the message from my email that is attached to my apple account, not my phone number like usual. It will occasionally not allow me to send an iMessage either and will force me to send as SMS. Any ideas on how this can be fixed? In my settings it says all new conversations are started with my phone number, but it still doesn't change any ongoing conversations.

    Hi ATrunner,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!   Just so that I can understand your question .... Are you saying that new messages that you send are working correctly with your phone number?  It is just the ongoing conversations that are displaying the email?   If so, I would suggest starting fresh conversations to those contacts. The article below provides troubleshooting steps for the most common issues with Messages:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2755
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    Learn how to resolve issues with the Messages app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You'll learn what you need to send messages using SMS, MMS, and iMessage as well as how to resolve issues with each method.
    Before you start troubleshooting, learn the difference between SMS, MMS, and iMessage. The first step to resolving an issue with iMessage is to update your iOS software and your carrier settings to the latest versions. If iMessage still has an issue, follow the steps below for your issue.
    If you can't activate iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID
    See how to troubleshoot iMessage activation. If you're using a China Telecom or au (KDDI) iPhone, you can activate iMessage only on your home network. While traveling internationally, you can't activate iMessage.
    If you can't send and receive iMessages
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
    Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
    Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
    If you want to transfer your SIM card or phone number to a device that doesn't support iMessage
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage if you plan to transfer your SIM card or phone number from an iPhone to a device that doesn't support iMessage. If you don't, other iOS devices might continue to try to send you messages using iMessage, instead of using SMS or MMS, for up to 45 days.
    If you can't send and receive SMS
    You will need these to send and receive SMS:
    An iPhone
    A strong cellular network connection through a cellular network provider
    A domestic SMS plan from your cellular provider (You might need an international messaging plan to send SMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information)
    A roaming SMS plan when you use a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
    To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
    Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
    If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    If you can't send and receive MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    An iPhone 3G or later
    iOS 3.1 or later

    A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)

    Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
    Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
    Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.

  • When I open an old pages doc in new pages 5.0 objects in table cells are removed. how can I stop this?

    When I open an old pages doc with new pages 5.0 - objects, specifically pictures, in table cells are removed. Is there a way I can stop this?

    nigel32,
    Gavin is right.  You are bound to lose images in tables of docs made in previous versions.  If you wish to continue using Pages 5.0 to edit docs from previous versions, you can try re-inserting your images using the following method:
    1.  Click on the cell you want to insert to.
    2.  Select CELL on the right contextual menu.
    4.  Click on FILL and select IMAGE FILL.
    5.  Click CHOOSE then select the image you need from Finder.
    6.  Tweak the appearance using the SCALE slider or drop down menu.

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

    When I send a text to someone, it also sends the text to me.  What is wrong?

    "Text" - you mean iMessage?  If you receive a copy it means your phone is using the same Apple ID address as the one you're sending to:
    On both phones:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at > set different addresses for each phone.
