How do I change the phone number for iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account

Any suggestions?

Hi Lori284,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
First remove the existing phone number:
Additional Information
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.

I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

Depends on whether you are using the same iCloud account on the device, or if you are syncing Contacts via iTunes, if you are syncing both devices to the same computer.
When you block someone, no matter which application you "launch" the block from (Messages, Phone, FaceTime) you are blocking the Contact. So, any app that uses that contact will see it as a blocked contact and will block any incoming activity to that app from that contact.

How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
Thank you!

TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

ICloud keychain: can't set up phone number

When setting up my keychain protection code i've chosen "generate random code", finished all steps and now option for setting up phone number in iCloud Keychain settings isn't available (not visible in iOS and disabled on Mac). If i change protection code any other ways (4-digit number or custom) then i can set up phone number.
So why is that happening - why i can't set up validation phone number when i use random-generated security code?

Turn off iMessage, Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home button, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons), turn iMessage back on and see if it now shows your number.
If you are using a non-supported cell provider you will have to try other remedies.

I can't select my phone number for iMessage (-sigh- Yeah, this problem again)

Let me explain the whole scenario:
My iMessage and FaceTime worked perfectly fine this morning.
I turned off my iMessage to check if I would be able to get messages from other iPhones.
My observation is that when an iPhone has their iMessage turned off and someone else who sends an imessage to that phone, their message would automatically turn to "text" messages instead of imessages. (Whoa, that sounds a bit confusing).
Anyway, I turned my iMessage back on and what do you know, I can't click my phone number because it's grey
I'm only able to select my emails. So for "send and recieve" it says "No address" (Because i didn't select anything, I'm waiting for my phone number to 'magically' get selected)
I have tried so many things and it's irritating.
My Facetime worked well, I would turn it off and back on and my number would get selected instantly. And I messed around with it, turning it off and back on to see if it'll automatically choose my number and it did. But I turned it off and on again and now It doesn't choose anything, it just says "Waiting for Activation"
But now after so many attempts of trying to turn it off and back on just to fix this iMessage crap, I can't even sign in to my apple id anymore. It says that I can't sign in and that I need to check my network connection. (I'm using wi-fi. And it's working perfectly fine; My network connection is fine)
So now, I'm really screwed. my iMessage and Facetime don't work anymore.
I'm really looking for a solution to this annoying problem.
By the way, it's an iPhone 4s and my carrier is T-Mobile.

I had the same issue. I cannot tell you why it happend although it may be tied to me changing my Apple ID passowrd.
Regardless, this was the solution for me:
Go to "Settings" on your device (I used my iPhone 5s).
Scroll down and select "Messages".
Select "Send & Receive".
Touch your "Apple ID: [email protected]" (top line in blue text).
Touch "Sign Out".
From the Messages window turn iMessage back on and sign back into your Apple ID account.
Your phone number should now be selected by default. Select the email addresses you also want assoaciated with your iMessages account and click "Next". It will verify your info and your DONE!

After iOS 6 update, iPad has wrong phone number for Facetime

I have my phone as well as my mom's on my iTunes account. She updated her phone today and signed into my account. When I updated my iPad this evening, it then associated my iPad with her number for Facetime and I've spent the last 2 hours searching for how to change it without success. It has my email--since it's the only one associated with the iTunes account, but I'd like to not have her phone on my iPad. Anyone have any ideas on how to get her number off of it?

Do you have the mute switch engaged? It's the little slider over the volume buttons on the side. If you can see orange, it's engaged. Slide it the other way.

I can't use my phone number for iMessage or FaceTime

I logged into my IPhone with a new Apple ID and then when I tried to select my phone number to use with iMessage and FaceTime yet it is faded out therefore I can not select it to use my with new Apple ID and can only use my email instead. This is very annoying as I have many friends with iPhones so it is a lot easier an more convenient to use iMessage or FaceTime through phone numbers not just emails.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi HollieHJR,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If your phone number has a checkmark next to it, even though it is grayed out, it is set up the way it is supposed to be. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
