I'm trying to imessage from my macbook air and it's coming up as my email instead of my phone number/contact in people's phones. It changed suddenly and I can't figure out how to get it back to being my phone number. Please help!
Hi,
Actually that is Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and the "Start New Conversation From" Drop down
The Pic is from Mavericks but in the indicated item there is little change.
Mine is set to my Apple ID.
It can make a difference if your iPhone Contacts only know your iPhone Number or you don't want them to know your Apple ID.

I can't change my imessage so that it goes through my mobile number rather than my email
I can't change my imessage so that it goes through my mobile number rather than my email
For some unknown reason, my phone has decided to change my imessage reciever to my email rather than my actual mobile number and won't let me change it backHi, i have had this same problem a few times, but i think i found a solution.
Go into your setting to iMessage, disable it from your email, via logging out of it using your Apple iD
So now ita only your phone number on iMessage.
At first it wont work, but try turning it off and on, just give it abit of time until it registers that your number is able yo use iMessage.
Once you notice its working, just go back and log back into using your Apple iD
Hope it Helps

I can't sync my iPhone 5 with my macbook air.
I can't perform a wi-fi sync with my iphone and my macbook air. Itunes is still recognizing my old computer and says it will sync when my old computer is available.
Try plugging your iPhone into your new MacBook Air using the USB cable for the first sync.

I am having trouble syncing my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air. I thought all I had to do was connect my USB cable to the iPhone and to my lapatop and voila, it wound sync, but I guess not. Any ideas?
I didn't get any message, that was what surprised me. However I went to turn off my computer and I received a message saying it was syncing and that it would stop if I turned off my computer. I had lauched iTunes, shouldn't I have seen some messge? I thought I would see the iPhone on the desktop too. Thanks for your help.

I have always synced my iPhone with my PC, what will happen if I sync my iPhone with my new Macbook Air?
I am hoping to switch from being dependent solely on my PC to rarely using it and having freedom to use either more Mac/iPhone and less PC, but I have my MSOffice software on the PC .
I want to sync my iPhone and not lose anything and have a faster experience.Check out this user tip from TuringTest:

Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud. Is this a known bug? I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any. Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices. Any ideas?

I am trying to sync my iphone 4s with my new macbook pro and it says that i need to erase the content because i am connected to another itunes store, which i am but i dont know if i want to erase my content.... any sugustions???
"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

How can I sync my iPhone with my new macbook air that already has music on it?
I need help! I have an Iphone 4 that has all my music on it but I recently got a macbook air that already has all my songs. I want to sync my phone with my itunes but it says i may not want to. What do I do?
Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Make sure everything is on the new computer. -
Re the above problem now that I have more space to type. My purchased apps seem to be in one ID and the phone and ITunes is in another. I didn't have this problem before the recent update and it is very frustrating. Before, I was able to use the same password for both IDs but now it is being rejected. Any ideas please? Will the phone shop be able to sort it out for me?

I had to change my apple id email address.
Changed meaning created a new Apple ID or updated the existing Apple ID to use the new email address?
The first method is incorrect.
The second will allow the user to continue having access to the previously purchased content and app updates. -
