How do I get my iPhone number to be the sender and receiver of the iMessages? It was until I created and logged in to my iCloud account, but after that it shows it as my email.

I need to know how to be able to set my iPhone number as my iMessage sender & receiver. It shows my number, but it's like blacked out where I can't choose it.. PLEASE HELP! It's about to drive my crazy!

Is there a tick mark beside your number?
What options you have under "Start new conversation from"?

  • How can i get my iphone on straight talk to send and receive mms?

    I have an iPhone 4 on straight talks network. I have never been able to send or receive mms messages to anyone other than a device with iMessage.  How can I get it to work?  I dont want to change to a Galaxy or any other kind of phone, but I will if this doesnt get figured out.  Straight talk says its an issue with Apple products. Please help!!

    Hey Jstugelmeyer,
    First, I would go through these three steps:
    Restart your device.
    Update to the latest iOS Software.
    If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
    Then, if you still can't send or receive MMS messages:
    To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
    Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
    If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

    How do I get my iphone 4 to display the name of an incoming caller?  It just stopped working all of a sudden.

    I suggest contacting your carrier, typically if there is an issue with caller id its an issue with the carrier.

    I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

    There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
    AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
    There is no workaround.
    Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
    AppleId you used to log into this forum?

  • Hi.iforgot to erase iphone 4s and removed it from my friends icloud account.now itunes says this account cannot be used to activate this iphone.i have his id and password,can log in to his icloud account but cant activate iphone.how to solve this problem?

    hi.i bought an iphone 4s from my friend.connected to itunes to restore it for a fresh install.after restoring to ios7 i realised that activation lock is enabled.i called my friend and get his id and pass.itunes said pass is wrong and cant activate the phone.then i logged in my friends icloud account (icloud.com said pass is ok) with same password and i removed the phone from 'find my iphone' list.but i forgot to erase the phone before removing it.now itunes says ''this apple id cannot be used to activate this iphone''.when i log in to icloud i cant see the phone in 'find my iphone' list so cant erase it now.can you please advise me step by step how to activate this phone?

    APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

  • How do I return my iPhone 4 back to the way it was after I accidentally backed it up with my old iPod's information, and now all my contacts, messages, and photos are all gone?

    So I went to plug my iPhone into my computer, automatically pulling up iTunes/iTunes Store. I notice that the computer isn't recognizing my iPhone, so I look at my phone and see that it is asking me if I want to trust this computer so I click yes. Then on the computer on iTunes it asks me if I want to save it as a new device (which I should've done) or save it as a previous device (and showed the names of other devices) and I picked the save as previous device under my old iPod, thinking that it would just save it and not mess with anything (mind you, I have never backed this iPhone up before)... So I wait for it to finish saving, and when it is I realize my phone looks nothing the same as it was when it was my iPhone a few minutes ago (except all the apps I hade downloaded unto the actual iPhone) and now looked like my old iPod. It deleted all of my contacts (except ones synced from Facebook), photos (but had all the photos from my old iPod), and deleted every message I had had with someone. I know I made a mistake, and I honestly don't know if this is something that can even be fixed... But I need to at least try.! So if someone could help, I would appreciate you a lot!

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
