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 back

Hi, 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
Ryan.

  • Can i change imported RGB colours to specified CMYK colours quickly in Indesign rather than doing ea

    Can i change imported RGB colours from a word doc to specified CMYK (already in the swatch panel) colours quickly in Indesign rather than doing each one manually?
    Is there a script so you can allocate rgb colours to cmyk colours?

    oh yeah, I see... You definitely need a script, so you better post this request in script forum. Since it quite scriptable (I believe), you need to know exactly (tell to the script) what colors to find and change to what. So it would work only on the specific pre-defined list of colors. I'm using something very similar regarding the fonts (I get regularly files where I need to change bunch of fonts to their alternatives). Not sure if it's possible to modify it for colors - I see some essential differences here. I'm not a scripter...

  • HT5395 How do I get my iMessage from my computer to show up as my phone number rather than my email?

    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.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

    If the song is indicating a "Kind" of "Protected AAC," that is not a setting.  It is an indication that the file contains Digital Rights Management (DRM).  DRM cannot be removed through normal conversion processes.

  • My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

    Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
    I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
    I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg  The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
    Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
    Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
    This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.

  • How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

    How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your id. But if there is any content on the iPad from his account then you are probably better off resetting back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings and starting 'as new' with it - content is tied to the id that bought/downloaded it so your account won't be able to download updates to any of his apps, and unless his account is authorised on your computer's iTunes and his content is on there then it will be deleted when you sync to it.

  • How can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact itis not my apple ID in the first place?

    how can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact it is not my apple ID in the first place?

    The automatic ID DaintyDaisy is talking about is when you go to your app store and it shows you as logged in under a certain Apple ID, and asks you for the password to log in.  If this is not the correct Apple ID, then we (including me!!!) need to know where to go to re set it.  I followed some other discussions and one link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796  shows you how to sign out, but when the Apple ID is greyed out, it doesn't help!!! Typical Apple world... get tangled and suffer for endless hours trying to fix one problem... but there is a million more to fix (like getting the righ App to download pictures from one's iPhone).
