How to change phone number for a facetime contact

; the number i used to call (mobile) isn't chosen and i can't dial it in facetime
I used to click facetime and choose my friend's mobile phone number. Now it just dials a number it found in the contact's list, even though i changed it.

Well, the only way I found is to reset iCloud Keychain entirely. Go to System Preferences->iCloud->Keychain, put in your password to your Apple ID, and click "Forgot code?" on the next screen. You'll be prompted to reset Keychain entirely, which you will have to do in order to change your number, unless you have AppleCare, in which case you can call them and have them set it up for you.

  • How to change phone number in Imessage and "waiting for Activation"

    i use my iphone5 - factory unlocked  between two countries with two different sim card. When i am in the USA i can use both my both number and email address to send imessage.
    I notice when i am in jamaica i can use only my email address to send imessage.
    I tried just about everything i see in these forum.
    I signed out of my apple ID and started to reactive my imessage. I notice when i am setting up it displayed my local phone number and email address as method person can contact via imessage. however aster clicking ok, i noticed it is still displaying my att phone number. the phone number area is grayed out.
    I even update the local number to my apple id.
    added the local number also to my contact in the phone.
    I tried everything possible
    also it s saying "waiting for activation" some time now.

    Hello Spum,
    It sounds like you are not able to activate your phone number for iMessage usage when you are in Jamaica.  I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)" in the following article:

    My brother has an iPhone I've got an iPod 5 he used to use the same apple id as i do but now he has his own but his phone number keeps appearing as my phone number on FaceTime an on iMessage.
    How can I change that? It drives me crazy

    A phone number appears for Messages and FT on an iPod (and iPad) onoy if the some ID used for those services is also used on an iPhone. It use the iPhone's number.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    He, on his device should go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and Settings>FaceTime>You Can Be Reached At and sing out and then sign in with his ID

  • How to change phone number in facetime

    i have a new number and i cannot edit the phone number to enter the new one
    any ideas on how i can get this done?????

    You need to activate Facetime on your iPhone with your new number first. If you use the same Apple ID on all your devices, your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically ask you if you want to use your new number for Facetime.

  • How to change Phone Number used for activation

    Hi,
    just got myself an iPhone and when I activated it via iTunes, it took over my phone number I entered
    in my Mac account (which was my home phone number).
    This number shows now up on iTunes (when the iPhone is highlighted) as "My Number".
    I changed my number in my Mac account profile to the cellular phone number which I use, synched again (even restored the iPhone) but the old number is still shown.
    Is there any possibility to change this entry after activation of the iPhone?
    Thanks for all additional info on this (still an iPhone n00b I am)
    Cheers,
    S.

    You are right,
    it doesn't change anything on the functions itself, it's just hum, let's say "Not good looking:
    I thought that maybe there is an easy way of changing this, but it seems not...
    Anyway, if someone has an idea (maybe I have to call the local Apple Support in France on Monday for asking them though) I would be pleased if you share it with me.
    Cheers,
    S.

  • HT5622 change phone number associated with facetime appleid

    I am trying to change the phone number associated with the appleID for facetime.  How do I that?

    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

  • 10g express, how to change port number for the database home page

    10g express uses port 8080 for its http listener. However this number has been used by Tomcat on my computer. How can I chang the port number for the 10g home page?
    Regards
    jl

    Andy, thank you very much, I have been able to changed the port number following your advice.
    I hope you do not mind I ask a further questions along this line:
    I installed 10 express db on 2 computers. One with Tomcat and the other without. Following your advice, I successfully changed the port number on the one without Tomcat.
    On the one with Tomcat, I believe it was because I installed the 10g express while the Tomcat was running, I can neither go to the 10g's home page (page cannot be displyed), nor logon to the database from sqlplus (ora-12560: TNS:protocal error) even after I shut down the Tomcat. By checking with 'netstat -an', it is known that the http listerner is not listerning.
    Can I change some configuration file to solve this problem? Or do I have to reinstall 10 ex? I prefer the 1st aproach of changing config file, even it is not as easy as reinstallation.
    Thanks
    jl
