How can I send an imessage from my email account?

The imessage settings allow you to set an email address to "start new conversations" but I can't see how that works.

You use your apple id, (primary email address) to set up your messages and FaceTime account, but you communicate thru those apps not the email app.

  • How can I send/receive iMessages from my iPhone 5 on my MacBook Air?

    When I first got my MacBook Air (January 2015), iMessages updated automatically upon sign in to display all of my text conversations from my iPhone 5. I also used to see incoming and missed phone calls by default. As of the beginning of March 2015 when I sign in, my MacBook Air does not sync messages from my iPhone at all and I have stopped receiving phone related notifications. Also my MacBook Air is sending all messages from my email address as opposed to my phone number.
    I've looked at the Messages help guides for send and receive SMS and activated text forwarding for my MacBook using my iPhone but this still hasn't helped with me being able to see my phone call/text activity on my MacBook as I was able to prior to early March. The iOS is up to date on my MacBook and my iPhone. I've also checked my iCloud and Apple ID and both display my phone number as an eligible send/receive address.
    Was there an update that changed a setting? I didn't have this trouble syncing messaging and phone when I set up my MacBook Air for the first time so I'm not sure what else to try. Someone help!

    Greetings jennamarie416,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to use the Apple Continuity features such as phone calls and text messages on your Mac. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for more information on these features and to ensure that they are set up correctly.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • How do I send a design from an email account to a flash drive?

    I have a design on my email account.  I have been unable to send it to a flash drive.  Can someone help me, please?
    patriciaa

    For detailed instructions we would have to know what operating system(Mac or Windows) and email program.
    In general you need to select or right click the image to save the file to your hard drive. Even though you could save directly to the flash drive it is best to save to your hard drive then use explorer or finder to copy to the flash drive.

  • How can I send "new" iMessages to apple users?

    I am unable to send new iMessages but I can send iMessages from previous threads. How can I send new iMessages to other apple users?

    Just click the button in the top right corner that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper make sure you are at the main I message screen were all the threads are listed.
    If that's not the issue you can try:
    1.hold the home and power button for 10-11 seconds
    2. When the slide to power off comes up ignore that and keep holding home and power
    3. The screen will go black and you will see an apple logo that's when you can let go of the home and power button
    4. The. iPhone will come back on and you can try sending a message
    If it still does not work
    1. Go to settings> General> Reset> select "Reset All Settings" this will not erase any data on the device it will only reset the settings
    2. After that try to send a message again
    If that does not work you can try this
    1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and click your iPhone in iTunes
    2. Then press backup iPhone
    3. Then restore your iPhone this will erase everything and reinstall the operating system
    4. Try to send a message and see if it sends
    5. Then go back into iTunes and select restore from backup and select the backup you made earlier this will put all the data back on the device all apps will need to be re downloaded but app data will still be on the device. Pictures and messages. Will also be their.
    If that did not solve your issue I would then go into the apple retail store

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

  • How can I completely remove iMessage from a iPad (generation 2)?

    How can I completely remove iMessage from a iPad (generation 2)?  I know how to turn off iMessage on the iPad but I don't want this iPad to know my iPhone number at all.  Thanks.

    You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

  • How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

    How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
    If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
    Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
    Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BAM_AQ_Configuration.pdf
    This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
    In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
    an alternative idea.
    you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.

  • HT2736 How can I send a playlist from my library to my friend?

    How can I send a playlist from my Library to my friends phone.  She uses itunes on her phone. I thought that itunes used to do that, I remember it being somewhere on the program. Now when I would like to do it I can't find it.

    First get iTunes on your PC. Then plug your iPod in and go to the music, yo. You Cannot sync playlist if you select to sync your entire library. But you can sync playlists of you choose to sync selected songs.
    You can also create a playlist on your iPod just by holding the center button on a song and select add to "on the go". This " on the go" is a playlist and will be transfers to your PC if you plug your iPod in again.

    how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

  • How can i send the data from WD to SMARTFROMS to fill it?

    Hi All,
    how can i send the data from WD to SMARTFROMS to fill it?
    Best Regards

    Hello
    After conferring with a colleague, the following response may help:
    The Smart Form doesn't have any special integration in WebDynpro.
    Therefore the application should implement it especially.
    Steps:
    1) Call of Smart Forms in mode GET_OTF
    2) Convert OTF to PDF
         3) Show the PDF in WD Context Node
    Similar topic was discussed here:
