How do I change my number for iMessenger

I first started using my mothers ID when i got this computer, but i seen that her contacts were up and I didnt want to use it, so i made my own, but her contacts are still in the system, how do i change it so i can use the iMessenger from My phone?

What do you mean by number?
You can go to Messages>Preferences>Accounts and change the Apple ID used for Messages.
You can go to System Preferences>iCloud and sing out of old ID and sing into yours. They you can add you own Contacts to the iCloud Contacrts for that ID.
In Contcts>Prefernces>Accounts make sure that your iCloud account is enabled.

  • How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements. 
    I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
    aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers.  We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
    the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried  creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue.  The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
    the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?  
    If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
    Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
    Option 1:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Display the ruler.
    - Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
    - Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
    Option 2:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
    - Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
    - Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
    - Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
    - Click Set.
    - Click OK.
    You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

  • How do i change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from three columns to one.

    How do I change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from 3 columns to 1.  The insert column is highlighted and column break does not work for this.

    Pages '09 does not seem to allow layout breaks in Textboxes.
    Pages 5.2 has the same limitation.
    Use multiple linked Textboxes in Pages '09 to get the layout you want or create your layout in a Word Processing template in the document layer.

    I found this in the user guide for HP Officejet E710n-z available here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf
    Could you try:
    1. On the printer control panel, touch > Setup, then touch Fax Setup then Basic Fax Setup
    2. Turn on Auto Answer
    3. Set Rings to Answer to the number of rings.
    I hope this helps.
    I work for HP.

  • How do you change the number of rings before FIOS goes to voice mail?

    Currently my FIOS residential service picks up voicemail after 4 rings, thereby negating my answering machine on my phone. It is then hit or miss for the system telling me if we have a voice mail. I would prefer to use my phone answering machine
    How can I change the number of rings on FIOS to 6-8 more rings, in order for my phone answering machine to pick up?
    Thanks

    Call your voicemail access phone number and go to settings. There is an option for that.
