How can I get my email address off of iMessage?

Yesterday I decided to try Messages Beta but it obviously required that I use an email for sending messages.
I wanted to see it working between my iPhone and MacBook, so also entered my email on my iPhone.
Now though I want to revert it. I don't want my email address used for iMessages.
How do I remove it? I go to Messages and it says there are two places to recieve at, so I click on my email, but the "Remove" button is faded.
I thought that some messages were lagging to arrive, so I thought I'd turn iMessage off until I get rid of my email. Now if I turn iMessage back on, it doesn't do anything, it sits there saying "Waiting for activation".
The kind of things Apple are forcing us to do...I can't wait to see how little I can do in Mountain Lion...

you can try this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3735390 I posted that thread with no feedback so far. So what happens is that if you want iMessage with no email associated, strangely, if iMessage has been turned off for a while, when attempting to turn it back on, if you're prompted to enter your Apple ID password and you don't (cancel), iMessage will still activate with just your phone number as reachable contact. That's a bug I think, but well here's the trick for now

I recently bought an IPhone 4s and activated it through my husbands ITunes account. Now my husbands email address is on my phone when I attempt to access Apple. How can I get his email address off my IPhone so I can replace it with mine?

I recently bought an IPhone 4S. My husband activated it for me through his ITunes account. Subsequently, I created my own Apple account. Here is the problem. When I attempt to access ITunes or Apple apps my phone still shows my husbands email address and requests his password. I want to get that changed so it reflects my email address and password but can't seem to do so through the settings mode.

I changed email address, i updated in the manage apple id page, saved info but I cannot get into my iphone because the old email address keep showing up. How can I get the old address off my iphone??

help me please to remove my old email address on my iphone. I already changed the address on the apple id page, but it hasn't tranferred to the phone and I cannot use my iphone. My head is about to explode!

Welcome to the Apple community JB.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT201269 How do I get my email addresses off my iPad to my iPhone contacts?

How do you transfer email addresses from a iPad to a iPhone?

One way is to sync bot your iPad and iPhone to the same iCloud account with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On (if prompted choose Merge). Another is to sync both devices to a supported program such as Outlook or Mac Address Book/Contacts using iTunes. Another is to email them to your phone using an app like My Contacts Backup.

How can I get my email address by my iCloud accountant with the name is now an own icloud account without the possibility to get iCloud storage

I have a email address . It is not possible to buy icloud storage for it or to add to my first account where i have plenty of icloud storage available.
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
If you have a (name)@me.com address which actually works then you have a (name)@icloud.com address as well, and and iCloud account. There should be no problem adding storage to it as long as you are signed into it as the primary account in System Preferences>iCloud on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, and iOS5/6 device or Windows 7/8 with the iCloud Control Panel.
If this is an ex_MobileMe address which you never migrated to iCloud you cannot reactivate it, so the question is have you checked it actually receives messages?
You cannot move such addresses from one account to another.

How can I get one email address in an address group to sort first in mail?

I have a group with about 100 contacts. Mail sorts these contacts in a way I can not fathom. I would like one of the contacts to appear "first" in the list of Mail addressees. I've tried starting the contact name an "A" and a "1". I've tried starting the email name and isp name the same way. Each time, the contact appears in a different place in the Mail address list but never first. Thanks

Sorry, I just found a similar question which was answered by VK as:
"I'm not sure what Mail uses to determine the order the emails are listed when you do this. It may be related to the internal UIDs address book assigns to all contacts. those are assigned in the order the contacts were added to Address Book. this is not terribly useful."
VK proceeded to offer a software technique for resorting addressees which I could not understand.
It looks like I'm stuck.
There's another question I ask every time I'm in an Apple store, "why not list the groups associated with each contact in the lower right box of each contact; next to the latest revision date. So easy and so useful. I never get a good answer.
Generally, I find Apple programmers the best in the world for making things intuitive. Not so with Mail... :-(

Hello All,
In order to update your email address you'll need to private message me the following information.
Your Screen Name
The new email address that you would like to use.
I'll then have to put in a request to have your email address changed for each individual account.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
(to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!! My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files. It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.
