How do I make people see my number, not my Apple ID?

Hello everyone. I just got iOS7 and after drivers training tonight I texted my sister asking if she got is aswell. She responded asking who I was because instead of my number or my name like she had me, it displayed my Apple ID or icloud email instead. I was wondering if there was a way to change this back to my number. Thanks!

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > and choose from the 'You can be reached by iMessage at:'
and select the ones you would like and also choose the correct selector in 'Start New Conversation From:'

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Java class uses another class in a Jar file (How do I make Java see it)?

I am trying to figure out how do I make Javac see the thinlet.class in the thinlet.jar.
I have developed an XUL xml interface and a java program that calls the interface shown below:
//package thinlet.demo;
import thinlet.*;
public class UI extends Thinlet
{ public UI () throws Exception {add(parse("UI.xml"));}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ new FrameLauncher("UI", new UI(), 600, 600); }}
when I do the normal compile, I get an error:
UI.java:4: cannot find symbol
symbol: class Thinlet
public class UI extends Thinlet {
^
UI.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol : method parse(java.lang.String)
location: class thinlet.demo.UI
add(parse("UI.xml"));
^
UI.java:12: cannot find symbol
symbol : class FrameLauncher
location: class thinlet.demo.UI
new FrameLauncher("UI", new UI(), 600, 600);
^

This thinlet class should be in the thinlet.jar that I have added the directory to the path, the directory and jarfile name to the System CLASSPATH and it couldn't see it. So finally I tried putting the thinlet.jar in the same directory to no avail. I've searched the web for some time an cannot find anything that specifically speaks to compiling a program that has parent classes in a Jar.
Any help is definitely appreciated.

Any help is definitely appreciated.You just still haven't provided the jar in the classpath, or you're not using the right class name. Is the class really named thinlet.Thinlet? Or are you thinking "import thinlet.*" means to import all classes in a jar named thinlet.jar? Because the latter is not true. You need to import classes, not jar file names.

How do I make Logic See New Path to Logic Library?

I have moved my logic loop library to a different drive from the one I originally installed it to. How can I make logic "see" the new location?
Thanks

Drag the loop folders from the finder onto the loop browse window to reindex your content - it will ask whether you want to move the loops to your library, or index them where they are.

With Adobe Muse when I make a change I have a second Admin user how do we make sure these changes are not overridden

With Adobe Muse when I make a change I have a second Admin user how do we make sure these changes are not overridden

If you're both using Muse then it's no different than if you were both using PS, AI, Word, etc. You need to use a mechanism to enable you to both have access to the latest version of the .muse file (i.e. Creative Cloud Files folder, Dropbox, file server location, etc.).
Changes made in the browser will sync back to the .muse file. Changes made in Muse are saved in the .muse file and if you're going to work on the site in Muse on two different machines then you need to have the up-to-date .muse file on the other machine.

How can I make a filter in number app

How can I make a filter in a row in number apps? Sometimes i need to filter my name in a list from an excel sheet. What I need is to know if I van use data filtering in number app.

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth not discoverable

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth feature "not" discoverable so that my phone is secure from hacking while i am in public and the bluetooth feature is turned on.

The iPhone can only be discovered when you are in the Bluetooth menu at Settings > Bluetooth. You'll see under Devices it shows Now Discoverable.
If you are not at this menu, it is not discoverable anmd it will not show up on other devices.
Simply having BlueTooth on does not make it discoverable.

How do I make iPhone passive in iPhoto - not once but always

I use Aperture and iPhoto. I import all my photostreams and photos to Aperture. It is my main photo application.
But I also use iPhoto for special fotos and events.
I never syncronize my iPhone with iPhoto or iTunes, but I often connect it to my MacBook just to charge the phone.
Every time I work in iPhoto and connect my iPhone, iPhoto will open my photo roll and make my photo roll ready for import.
Then I can right-click on the iPhone in the iPhoto device list and make the phone "passive". But I have to do that EVERY TIME I connect the phone.
How do I make the iPhone passive??
I don't want the phone to be "married" to iPhoto. It should be "married" to Aperture ONLY.
Frank

You can't. If iPhoto is open when you connect the phone then it will offer itself from importing.

TD

How do I make the "demon face warp" effect in Apple Motion?

I have a project where the well-known "demon face warp" effect would be ideal. I understand that it's quite doable with After Effects. But since I don't own After Effects, I thought I might see how to do it with Apple Motion.
My footage is from a Sony PMW EX-1. It's footage of a blonde actress in the woods. I'd like to demonize her pretty face.
(I have FCP 6 and Motion 3.)
Do any of you know of a good tutorial on this subject? Or can any of you suggest how I can explore this endeavor on my own using Apple Motion?
thanks,
shanked

Dr. PieArson,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can provide you with a picture of this effect. If you click on this link, you'll see a picture and then a video tutorial on how to accomplish the "demon face" in After Effects.

I've heard it's possible in Motion; I just need to know an efficient method for it.

How can I make a drawing stable and not disappear?

When I draw some shapes in a panel, if another window goes over the panel, then the drawing disappears and I have to draw it again.
How can I make the drawing stable?

Encephalopathic wrote:
Of course you've read the graphics tutorials, and you are doing all of your drawing in a paintComponent(Graphics g) method override, correct?Encephalopathic is correct. If you want the stuff you draw to persist, you should override paintComponent() and redraw everything there. Just because you've drawn something on a component once (say, a line or an Image) does not mean it'll be redrawn the next time the component needs to be painted. You have to re-draw your custom stuff every time a repaint event is sent to the component, and that means overriding paintComponent().
If your component will have lots of custom painting done to it (such as if you're making a MS Paint-style program), you might want to consider drawing to a BufferedImage, then in your component's paintComponent() override, just rendering the BufferedImage. Check the documentation for more details.
