How do I get my email to stop showing on my imessages?

I am not sure why, but recently my email address started showing on messages that I was sending to friends,
I have tried going to settings and the only option I see is to turn off iMessage all together.
I want to use iMessage, but not have it appear with my email.
Please help.

  • TS3899 how do I get deleted emails to stop reapprearing as new emails

    Everytime I delete my email they pop back up as unread.  Even If I login to AOL and delete from mail there they still pop up.

    Verizon.net uses POP email. It's an older form of email protocol that wasn't designed to by synced across multiple devices. So, the people at Verizon Wireless were correct. You will have to delete on each device.
    I use my Gmail account to collect my email from a POP account for just this reason.

    That way, I don't have to give up either email account.

  • How do i get my email footer to show in the email

    I want to send emails and have my email footer appear at the bottom of the email.  What actually happens is my email footer appears as an attachment!  Its really annoying.  How do i make it so that my footer appears at the bottom of every email?

    By "footer" do you mean your signature? What's in it: plain text, styled text, graphics? What about the body of your messages (same options)?
    I stick with plain text, and almost all recipients see it at the bottom of my plain-text messages.

  • How do I get tumblr videos to stop showing the "video failed to load" screen, this only happens on firefox and not google chrome

    I have tried looking up multiple ways to solve this problem but none have worked

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.

  • How do I get my email to not show up when I use iMessage?

    After updating my software to iOS 7, every time I use iMessage my email shows up on others phones instead of my contact name and my phone number. I tried making sure my phone number was entered into my appleid settings, restarted my phone and signed in out of my appleid but nothing works. My phone number is greeted out and does not show up under "start new conversations with" like it says it should on the apple website. This is a really frustrating problem and am desperate for a solution. Please help!

    Hello Remundy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage.  It sounds like your phone number is not checked and greyed out in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. This usually occurs when the phone number is waiting to be activated with iMessage. It should take no longer than 24 hours, and may resolve on its own.
    However, if you continue to have issues, the following article usually provides a resolution:

  • How do I get my iPhone3 to stop showing 2 new messages in the inbox when they are none there?

    The mailbox icon on my iPhone has the little red bubble with a number 2 next to it, but when I go to my inbox, I don't see any unread messages. Is there something I did wrong? What do you suggest I do? Thanks!

    Hey jel177!
    It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:

    Then, you can use this link to find your purchases and download them to your phone:

  • TS3276 my email has stopped showing on my screen when I go into 'my mail'. I have to go via the internet to get my mail. How do I get back to 'my mail'?     to get my mail I have to

    My email has stopped showing up on my screen through 'my mail'. To get my mail I have to go via the internet. How can I restor,  receiving mail in 'my mail'?

    Did you recently make any changes? Change your ISP or upgrade the OS?
    Have you set up the Mail app with the settings from your ISP? And then configured it to fetch whatever online web email you have?

  • How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?

    I was trying to change the name of a folder in my OS 10.4 Tiger Mail application. It generated an error message, (I do not know the exact message) it said that I could not change the name of that folder. After the error message left the screen, ALL of the email in that folder disappeared. Including all of the email in the 24 sub-folders that I had created... Poof... Gone... My entire business email history for the past month.
    I was able to access my account info (through the Account Info panel) for all 4 of my POP accounts located on different POP servers. Thankfully, my email history has NOT been deleted off of those servers. So my question is:
    How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?
    I DO NOT want to delete ANY email from the servers, I just want to get my history back into Tiger Mail... Someone help me please...

    I spoke with Mac Tech Support. To get my messages from my server back into Mail, I was told to mark my email (on my webmail server) as unread. Mail will then know to pull these specific messages into my account.
    However, this is one of a handful of problems that I have been having with the Mail application. Just today I tried to create a new message by hitting NEW and the program crashed. This plus having all of my messages disappear and then having to reimport them isn't worth the effort. I've decided to stop using Mail completely.
    I was just told about Mozilla's Thunderbird email application. It's free and looks better than Mail. Do yourself a favor and go check out Thunderbird at:

    outlook closes and will not download a particular message.How can i get that message to stop coming to my inbox?

    Hi,
    May I ask your intention by doing this? Is the particular message harmful to your computer?
    Which type of email account are you using? If you want to prevent a particular message from being downloaded to Outlook, we can login to the web interface of your email account and then remove the particular email from your Inbox.
    If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

  • How to get an email online when showing offline for sending. Solutions on site don't solve the problem.

    How do you get an email account online when it is showing offline for sending. All settings are correct, previous solutions on the site don't help. One account works find the other one receives but doesn't send. No issues with ISP was found. This may have been happening since OS travel. Took a while to realise it was using the other account for sending.

    I just solve the problem. While OS we brought an internet USB and connected to a phone, one or both of these must have caused the problem. When both of the downloads associated with them were deleted the email issue was resolved. regards

  • TS3988 How do I get the email account that was in icloud?

    Hello, my manager handed me his phone off to resolve it and I restored and updated the iphone without knowing who was the account that was set up iCloud, and now I can not activate the phone. How do I get the email account that was in icloud that was configured on the phone? Starting email already know who is the account

    No one can give you that.  Ask your manager to contact the previous owner of the device.  They are the only one who can help you with this, either by providing the correct ID and password, or erasing the phone and removing it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

    I add my comcast email to the mail on a iMac running Maverick. It downloads all my emails from there. How do i get my email to delete of the the server

    Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

  • How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

    When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

    I really wish the Apple team would fix this.  It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
    Anyway, my workaround is this.  I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops. 
    Hey ipad/garageband team -  How about a new release of gargageband?
