I can't receive iMessges to my phone number only through my Apple ID.

On my new iPhone C, in messges>iMessage> send & recieve, under "you can be reached by imessage at" my apple ID is in black and my number is in a light gray color but both are checked. However, under "start new conversations from" both are black and checked. I do not understand why I cannot receive iMessages from my number. If I start a new conversation, it sends my apple ID not my number to whoever I am texting. This is very frustrating and I would love an answer to this problem.

In "start new conversations from", check you Apple ID off, so that only your phone number has a check mark next to it,

    If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

    Hello Feltongirl93,
    The troulbeshooting steps outlined below detail how to get your phone number linked to your Apple ID.
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • HT204053 How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on.  If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out.  Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct.  Then sign in on your iPad.

  • Can I play what is on my iPad 2 through my apple tv?

    Can I play what is on my iPad 2 through my apple tv?

    I'm struggling to. I can control the AppleTV (current gen) from my iPad 2, either using Remote to directly access it or to play the library on my MacBook, but when I go into the iPod app, select the AppleTV, and try and play my iPad's content via the AppleTV, nothing comes out. I did notice that when I tried, I was not ask for the password I has set on the AppleTV. I've since removed it and still no joy.
    Thoughts?
