How do I add my iPhone number to facetime on the mac?
Hi,
I have an up to date iphone 5 and I was wondering how I can add my number to facetime on the mac.
i know how to get to preferences and all that but I just cant add my mobile to the mac facetime unlike all my other devices.
Thank!!
Bradley
Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

How do I add a phone number so I can use either my US or Canadian number (depending on where I am) with iMessage and Facetime on both my iPhones?

You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request. -

Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

How do I add a phone number to Favorites?
How do I add a phone number to Favorites?
Here's How: Tap the phone icon from the iPhone's the home screen. Tap the Favorites icon at the bottom left. Click the "plus" icon at the top right to add favorites. This will bring up your full contacts list. Scroll through it or jump to a letter to find the contact you want. When you've found the name, tap it. This will bring up the contact's information, including all their phone numbers. Tap the phone number you want to make a favorite. That name and phone number are now listed in your "Favorites" menu. Next to the person's name is a small note indicating whether the number is work, home, mobile, etc. To rearrange the order of your Favorites, go to the phone app and tap the "Edit" button in the top left. This will bring up a screen with red icons to the left of the favorites and an icon that looks like a small stack of three lines on the right. Tap the three-line icon and hold it. The Favorite you've selected will become active (when active, it appears to be slightly above the other Favorites). Drag the Favorite to the position in the list you want it to have and let it go. Click "done" in the top left and your favorites will be reordered.

How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad
How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.Use a free email address like gmail.com.

The iPod only has phone number (only for FaceTime and Messages) if the same Apple ID used for those services on the iPod is also used on an iPhone with iOS 6 and later

Hello brentfrommt. washington
To add a phone number to your iMessage account, you need to have an iPhone with your phone number on it. Once you sign into iMessage the iPhone it will link to all your devices with that Apple ID. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How do I add an Iphone to my iTunes account
How do I add an Iphone to my iTunes account
Hello Willart1,
It sounds like you would like to associate your iPhone to your iTunes Store account. This article should help you do that:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
Note: If no devices have been associated with the Apple ID, then the Manage Devices section will not be visible.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling -

How do i add my cellphone number to my messages on my macbook
I want to get my imessages on my laptop but so far it only allowes the ones thru my email how do i add my phone number as well
Messages->Preferences->Accounts
Choose your iMessage account (or add one), use your Apple ID, and then check your phone # under "You can be reached for iMessages at..."
Then every iOS device in your house will beep and buzz and notify you that you added the number to a new device
