How do I get phone #'s to come up instead of email addresses when trying to send a MMS?

I just got my Galaxy S4 2 days ago and was trying to send a picture from my gallery as a text message to a friend.  I know I can start from messaging, and then attach the picture, but I was already in the picture, so clicked on the messaging icon from the picture, and when I started typing my friend's name, it only brought up her email address, not her phone #.  I didn't want to email her, I wanted to send it to her phone as a text message.  The only way I could do this was to start typing her phone #, instead of her name.  I don't know a lot of people's phone #'s by heart, so I don't understand why it isn't bringing up phone #'s when I start to type the person's name?  I had the Droid Razr before, and that's how I always sent pictures.  When I started typing a name it would bring up phone #'s and email addresses to choose from.  If anyone knows how to change this, I would love to know how!

Try this:
Click on the Contacts icon
Select the Menu key
Select Settings
If the Only contacts with phones is checked, uncheck it

  • When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !

    When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !!!!!!

    It is OK to use the same apple id on multiple devices. That is how it was intended to be used. The phone number used must be a number registered on an iPhone. I receive imessages and face time calls on my iPad, iPhone and imac. Sometimes the email addresses and iPhone numbers don't properly register on all device. Logging out and back in on all devices can fix the issue.
    Now with the release of ios 8 other compatible Apple devices can use the iPhone over a WiFi network to send and receive vioce calls as well.

  • I am trying to delete my icloud account on my phone. Its wanting me to sign in with an old apple id that is an old email that is no longer active. How do I get it to let me use my new email address?

    I just got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to clear my old phone and delete the icloud account. BUT on my old phone in the icloud settings it is still wanting to use an old email account that is no longer active, therefor it wont allow me to sign in and delete the icloud account. and it wont let me change my email address to my apple id that is current. suggestions?

    Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off.  If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud.  Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password.

  • How do I get rid of "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open pdf in the Reader

    Hi
    How do I get rid of the "Your Free Trial Period has ended"  Screen when trying to open a pdf in Adobe Reader?
    I had a trial of Dreamweaver but it was too complicated for me.
    There was no where to cancell the free trail so I let it run its course and expire.  It then deleted the programs which is fine (I didn't want to buy them) but it also deleted my Acrobat Reader.
    I have re-installed that but when I try to open a pdf, all I get is the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" screen which only allows you to buy or exit and them exits all together.
    Needless to say I am very UNIPRESEED with Adobe for messing up my programs and now they want to charge me $29 dollars to sort out a problem they created.
    Can anyone help me to sort out this very anoying problem?
    Regards
    David

    Hi
    Thank you for the reply.
    No I have not deleted anything, this all happened automatically when the trial period ended.
    Other than an old version of Photoshop (version 7, for which I do have a serial number, I don't have any other Adobe software - just the reader which is now not working)
    I was trialling Dreamwever but couldn't get started with it so am paying someone else to set up the website using Wordpress.

  • I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?, I lost my saved email file when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. How can I get it back?

    I lost my saved email file when I ugraded to Mountain Lion today.  How can I get it back?? It has email messages dating back several years.

    do you have a time machine backup or any other device that contains the emails you are now missing?
    if so you can get them back that way. otherwise there isn't a way to retrieve them from the mac if they are nowhere on the HD.
    also check on the email website to see if the messages are still there as well.

  • Getting rid of an old email address when trying to sign into iCloud and iTunes

    I have recently had to change my email address because of hacking. Now I can't get rid of the old address from sign in boxes for iTunes. And iCloud. I have changed my apple sign in and password and I'd but it doesn't seem to affect the rest and they still show the old email address but won't let me in even with the bold password.

    Okay this is what you have to do because I had the same exact problem:
    First thing is to remember just because you don't use your e-mail address anymore doesn't mean it stops becoming an account with Apple.
    Theres a couple of ways this could have got started. It be best if he told me A little more about what you know and that way we can figure it out precisely together.
    But I was say to make sure that you're connected to the Internet.
    try to reset your apple id (email address that you use with apple as an account) password by going to AppleID.apple.com.
    Apple provides two ways the reset your password
    1) correctly answer your birthday and answer security questions
    2) send a reset password e-mail through a process called e-mail authentication
    If you are unable to do either one of these you will need to stop and call Apple and speak with a special department called account security. They will need to verify your identity against records you might have on your account but do not see at this moment. They could then send an reset e-mail to whatever e-mail address you desire as a workaround. ( If they can verify you are the account holder)
    The other method is only if you have  on made an "edit "  to your primary Apple ID, but forgot to sign out of settings iCloud first.
    To clarify, you would have changed the  pre-existing E-mail address to a new different e-mail address that you would rather use now.
    in order to fix this problem,  you need to go back to AppleID.apple.com and revert the new e-mail address back to the old e-mail address temporarily.
    You do this by clicking on the word "edit" to the right of the primary Apple ID.
    You're switching it back to the old e-mail address so that way it matches what is on your settings >ICloud section on your phone.
    Once it matches again, then you want to click on the words sign out or delete account at the bottom.
    Once you have done this ....then you can change (EDIT) your e-mail address back to the one you want to use on the website (appleid.apple.com)
    This should resolve your issue. THis is still leaving me to assume alot so if theres more you can share i can give you a more precise answer if this doesnt resolve your issue.

  • I have bought a second hand ipod 4, but it has the previous owners details all over it, for example it has her email address when trying to update facebook.  How do I update it with my email address?

    I have just purchased a second hand ipod touch 4.  The previous owners details are still in it, so for example when I try to update the facebook app it asks me for the previous owners password, and shows the previous owners email address.  How do I change it all to my details?  I have already synced it with itunes and all of my music is now in it, and it's also renamed on the itunes page when I attach the ipod to my PC.  I've also been in to the 'info' page, 'Advanced' and then 'Replace information on this ipod with mail accounts from this computer' then finally 'apply', but it still has the other persons ID.

    I've answered my own question!  I now understand that you can't use apps as they are always going to be linked to the original owner.  I've since deleted the app and downloaded it again, and all is now well!

  • How do I get my homepage to come up instead of "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page?

    I updated to Firefox 8 and ever since that, when I open it, a box pops up saying it's checking for add on compatibility or something like that and my homepage comes up in a tab but the "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page comes up as the first page you see. I would rather not see that every time as I've already gone through all the things on the page. In the options for homepage, it is set correctly for my usual page, but that is not what comes up.

    Try this:
    Click on the Contacts icon
    Select the Menu key
    Select Settings
    If the Only contacts with phones is checked, uncheck it

  • Why does my phone come up as my email address when texting or calling

    When I call or text anyone from my iPhone my email address is displayed not my number. It happens with whoever I'm texting or calling.
    Any ideas??
    Todd

    All iPhone apps are digitally signed using the Apple ID they were purchased with.  You CANNOT change this.  You either enter the password for the original Apple ID, or you delete the App and download a new copy using the new Apple ID.  Free apps that do not have lots of in-app content (like your Solitare High Score) are not a problem.  Paid apps and free apps with lots of built-up/earned content can be very annoying as you have to re-pay for the app and/or build-up/earn that content again.

  • I get "there are non ASCII characters in the local part of the recipient's address" when trying to send emails as BCC. email addresses are all good!

    I used to send out christmas greetings from my biz to groups of 20 customers, in BCC format. all addresses are good, but the emails don't get sent now because of the supposed ASCII problem.
