On your Mac open up message, then go to the prefs for the app.
in the accounts section click on iMessages and then you should see your email address and phone number listed. Uncheck your phone number.

Can someone please help me to remove an iphone telephone number from my imessage application. I no longer have a phone which I registered on my apple ID as a second phone. I have been on my apple ID and it does not seem to be there but cannot remove it from imessage, which still has it as an option to connect to. I am concerned that someone else who inherite this old phone will see my messages if I accidentally enable it again. I have read and re-read various postings and tried all options given but no luck, the **** thing stays there.....

How can I remove an old phone number from iMessage
I have an old iphone 3GS that has been upgraded to IOS5 and I am letting my son use. He is loving the iMessage, however there is one problem - the phone number that used to be associated with that 3GS is still associated with the iMessage settings and so whenever I iMessage my wife at that phone number (or anyone else for that matter), he also gets the message.
I have added in his email in the "You can be reached for messages at:" settings option, but I cannot delete the phone number. Any idea how I can get the phone number removed from the iMessage settings? I want him to be able to send / receive iMessages via his email address - not the phone number that belongs to my wife.
I did try removing the sim from the phone, but that didn't work.
Thankshttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

This will reset your iMesasge too.

How can I remove my old phone number from my iPhone?
I want to sell my old iPhone 5 (Sprint), and I want to get everything off of it. Obviously I'd restore it and remove everything first, but how do I get the 'My number' to change from my current phone number (which was ported to T Mobile and is with a newer phone now) to something else/removed? I remember I had the same problem a few years ago with an android phone, and I kept getting texts from my number on it (both phones at the same time), I obviously don't want something like this to happen again, especially if I sell it.
Thanks in advanceThe following may help: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I using a MacBook Pro - OSX Yosemite, Version 10.10. I appear to have web browser issues. I am experiencing constant Ad Pop Ups when I surf the web. In addition, when I open new tabs, my default page changes to "bing". I checke the url and it has a "trovi" address. An Apple tech referenced an Article "HT6435". I can not find it in my searches. My searches take me to pages that I am not looking for. It appears that I need to eliminate the unwanted files. Can anyone help.
It is a pain. The Apple Tech referenced Article "HT6435". He said that it may be available in this forum. I used Google Search to no avail.

TS4268 How can I remove an imessage phone number?
How can I remove a mobile phone number from Settings>Messages>Send & Receive?
Deactivate iMessage on both devices.
Sounds like iMessage for your ID was initially activated on her device.
Then sign in with the correct ID on your device and activate iMessage, it should like to your number. If it does, repeat with her ID on her device and confirm everything is as desired. -
How do I change my cell phone number on my iCloud account with my iPad? I have a new number and want to activate the iCloud
If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone. If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

how can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage
Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?
In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select the "replacement" face from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the face. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position the face from picture B to cover the face on A
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and face B on a separate layer -
