I've been having trouble with in getting iMessage to send messages. I decided to connect to my VPN (along with wifi) and it worked. Why won't it work via my wifi connection alone?

Because you have it set that way.

Change to your phone number.

IMessage issue: Changed password for my Apple ID this morning and now my iMessage is sending through my email?

iMessage issue: Changed password for my Apple ID this morning and now my iMessage is sending through my email instead of my number and I haven't been receiving any texts through iMessage! I read the article, followed the steps, and it did not fix the problem. Help?

Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage

<form action="path-to-script-on-server/form-to-email-script.php">
If your host doesn't provide scripts, ask them which server-side languages you can use (php, asp, asp.net, perl, coldfusion, etc...). This will narrow your search for form-to-email processing scripts.
Also, your form SUBMIT button is not properly coded. It should look something like this.
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit">
RESET buttons aren't used much anymore because they lead to more form submission failures than successes. You don't need it.

How do I get imessage to send SMS texts to non iphone users?

I have read that I can use imessage to send and receive regulr SMS text messages to non iphone users; but, I can't seem to make it work. When I try to enter a mobile number of a non iphone user in the new text address bar and send anSMS text the adressee turns red and I get the following message:
Your message could not be sent.
4342496xxx is not registered with iMessage.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I've checked my preferences and any articles I could find but so far I can't find anything that helps. Thanks.

Hi,
As I said the Menu Item has disappeared in Messages but you can still get it to send SMS Messages via an AIM Account to a "Buddy" that is the phone number with a leading + 1 for the country code (although it was never rolled out world wide).
Uploaded with Skitch!
The Menu items in the Buddies menu (This is from iChat 5) do not appear unless the computer ius set to be in the United States.
They don't appear at All in Messages (whether the computer is set or not.)

I see you have eventually got there with willar's post.

How do i get imessage to go to an email address?

How do I get an imessage to go to an email address on an iphone 4s?

There are two things you can try:
1. If you registered the 3GS under your support profile, you can login & remove the iPhone. This will stop your iMessage problem. Do so here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
2. If you didn't setup a support profile, you can "try" inserting the sim back into the 3GS & turning iMessage off there.

Why does my iMessage randomly send from my email instead of phone number on my iPhone?

Hi,
I have iMessage set up on my iPhone 5s (fully updated) and regularly use it since most of my contacts also have imessage. I mainly use it on my iPhone, but sometimes use the messaging app on my Mac.
I have an email linked to my iMessage, it is my apple ID. I have it set as "can be reached at" my phone number and email and "start new conversations from" ONLY my phone number.
However, sometimes when I'm in the middle of a text conversation with someone, they will end up getting an imessage from my email and not my phone number, which confuses people and puts the conversation in two different places.
Is this a common issue? Do I just remove the email from where I can be reached at? Does doing that disable me from using the messenger app on my mac?

Unfortunately yes - if you have both phone number and email checked as available then sometimes the choice from where to send appears to be random.
However you may want to disable the email as a potential contact point on the phone and leave it on in the pad and see what happens - given the cloud based nature of the system it may synchronize at some point but at least you will know .

I cant get messages to send messages to people in my contacts that I know have ios devices. Why not?

I am fairly new to all the Apple stuff and computers in general. I cannot get my mas to send messages to people in my contact list and I have no idea how to fix this or where to start. Can anyone help me, please?

They need to have their apple id tied to their ios device in the recieve at area.
you need to also be sending messages to the apple id account instead of their phone number.
This requires you to have your contact cards in order. For every one you know who has an ios device and imessages setup with their apple id email, you need to also include their apple id in their card.
once you do that, simply type their name and choose their apple id email to send to and then you should be golden joe.

My iMessage won't let me change/add my phone number to send iMessages, only sends from iCloud email??

my imessage shows my old phone # and my iCloud email to send messages but my old # is blocked out so I can't delete or choose it , only lets me use my icloud for iMessages and it's driving me nuts!!

Hi Tyeisha1,
This article has some information about using your phone number with iMessage:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
Cheers,
- Ari

IMessage suddenly sending messages from email address rather than phone number

Recipients of my iMessages have reported that it has switched from being from my name/number to being from my email account. I have not changed any settings and the iphone 5 is up to date with all updates and has been restarted several times. I also went into iMessage settings and send&receive settings and tried a few things (including turning iMessage on and off, signing in and out of my account, etc), to no avail. Why is it suddenly doing this and how can it be corrected?

Hey Elfinator,
There are a few steps you can try to resolve this. First, turn iMessage off completely in Settings>Messages, and restart your device by fully powering it down, then power it back up. Once complete, turn iMessaging back on and see what happens. Again turn iMessage off, restart device, and turn iMessage back on. You'd be surprised what that can fix.
Also, if you have both your phone number AND the apple ID selected in send/receive in settings>messages, and you aren't connected to data at that moment, the iMessage from whoever is messaging you will be sent to the Apple ID only, hence why the conversation will begin using the email. This is something that is pretty common, and if you don't have a data plan, or if you turn your data off often, this will continue to happen.
Hopefully my first step will refresh the issue, resolving it!
Have a good day!
(If the issue is not resolved, give us a call at 1800 - apl - care )

I keep trying to set up my icloud on my iphone 3gs and I go to settings it says verify account with email, it sends me to my email account but there is no email to verify. How do I get icloud to send my another email?

Please help with this. I cannot get an email to verify my icloud so i can set it up, please someone help me.

Welcome to the Apple community.
First, you may wish to check that your filtering and mail rules are not placing Apples email in your junk folder or even deleting it completely. If you have verified that this is not the case:
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
