HT3529 when i send a text/imessge why does the person recieving it see my email address instead of my name?

when i send a text/imessage why does the person receiving it see my email address instead of my name??

iMessage requires both parties be using iOS 5. The iPhone 3 can not be upgraded to iOS 5, thus messages would be sent as an SMS (Text message)

  • Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?

    Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?  When signing up for iCloud I'm asked to choose an email address [email protected]  I am already using an @me address via moblileme.  When i input that address it states that that address is already taken.  Try picking a new one.  I don't want a new one I want to use my mobileme address.  How can that be done?

    It appears you set up a new iCloud account rather than migrating your MobileMe account over to iCloud.  I migrated everything over this morning and am still using my old MobileMe email address.
    Check to see if you can migrate rather than open a new account.

    Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

  • 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.

  • Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

    WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name.  This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas?  I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

    Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
    If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.

  • Contacts are seeing my email address and not my name when texting.

    Two to three days ago my 4s has started sending out text messages with my email instead of my phone number.  It is confusing when your friends do not have your email address under their contacts and they have no idea who it is.  Also, I am receiving text messages under emails instead of the contact name.  Yesterday it deleted all my contacts then put them back on.  We upgraded my Mac to Lion a couple of days ago and I do not know if their is any correlation.  I am starting to get really aggravated.
    Oh and this is what I have done:
    I went to messages and it is forcing me to start new messages from my email and not my phone number. 

    You also may have to look at your iPhone 5s too...
    Settings---> Messages---> Send & Receive---> (make sure your phone number is selected) as well as the (start new convo from)
    If for some reason you can't select your phone number on your phone. Follow these instructions...
    Turn off iMessages.
    Click Home key Sleep/Wake key at the same time until the phone reboots. About 20 seconds or so.
    Return to the iMessages and turn it back on.
    After that, you should be able to select your phone number.

  • Why does Verizon Wireless ask to confirm my email address when I touch the Google Chrome app, but not respond when the correct info is entered?

    I touch the Chrome app icon on my Droid and a Verizon message comes up. It asks me to confirm my email address as shown on the screen, and has a field for entering my billing zip. When I do so, it flashes as if processing but comes right back to the same screen with the zip code field empty. I went on line and confirmed that all info in my profile was correct. Anyone out there with the same problem and/or help?

        Lets get to the bottom of this, Dwix! I personally use the Google Chrome application and love it. I am confident that we can figure it out together. Did you just start using the application? Have you had this message pop-up before? You mentioned that it is a Verizon Message, does it come in a form of a text message? Is it possible for you to send us a screenshot of this message?
    Please share the details needed so that we can better assist!
    Thank you,

  • Why does it say More. . . in email address line when there is only one email address?

    When receiving an email, why does it say 'More. . .' in the To email address line when there is only one email address? It looks like there is more than one recipient when there is actually just one. 

    Have you rebooted since the deletions.  That will empty a number of caches and may restore the freed up space. Also open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete its contents.  Make no other changes to the contents of the iPHoto LIbrary Package.

  • When there are several tabs open, why does the search always take place on the 2nd tab (the first tab seems never to change from the home page) despite my selecting a different tab in which to do a google search?

    I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I open it, it correctly opens on the homepage in the first tab. Once I have another, or several, tabs open, no matter which tab is active, any google search I do immediately takes place in tab No 2. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I go to e.g. tab 4 to do a search (because I wish to compare with the webpage open in tab 2), yet it always now does the search in tab 2. This is very irritating. There must be some setting that has gone pear-shaped, but where/which? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why does my mail get returned from some email addresses

    When I send email to one particular email address, even though I have not been blocked, the email gets bounced back to me. Why is that and how can I solve it?

    The mail server returns the mail as not able to be delivered and tells me it is a permanent error. The email address is correct. I have been given another company email address to send to and that has the same end result. I am not blocked by them and all my other emails are being sent to their destinations. What else can I say?

  • When I open a pages doc why does the text not show but the preview in Finder shows the text?

    Doc shows a blank page but shows the number of pages at the bottom and flickers the text when I click on Outline icon.

    In most cases it is because you have not updated Pages to the current version.
