I have an iPad and an iPhone, but want to be able to IMessage people on my iPad. Instead of sending my message from my phone number, it sends it from my email address. How do I add a phone number to my iCloud?

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?
The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.

Also, if you sync to the same computer/iTunes library use the manual method so only checked items sync to the device

I have a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone. When I contact someone using iMessage, for example using my iPad, the entire conversation also appears on my Mac and iPhone. How do I stop this duplication?
Hello ctb4408,
With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

i have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?
You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists. You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.

I have 50 iPads and 50 codes, but I am not able to install the app on the last ipad using Apple Configurator. One code in the spreadsheet says it's already been used but shows no serial number or device name.
Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.
There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Mail: when there is a list of email addresses how do i add to address book?
Hello, ... When i get an incoming email from a person and it is cc'ed to a whole list of people (separate email addresses) --> how do i put all those listed email addresses into my address book/ contact list?
For example, when i get an email from my kid's hockey coach and i want to contact every other parent that is listed on that cc list, ... how do i easily add all those on that list?
Thanks....ogopogodude,
Right-click on each desired (separate) contact, and select "Add to Address Book."
Then make a calendar Group, name it Hockey, and individually drag those new contacts to the Soccer Group. -
I live by my iCalendar and when I pulled it up on my PC this evening, I've noticed that only certain entries are syncing with my iCalendar (on my PC). For example, my work schedule is present on my PC, iPhone, and iPad, but my class schedule is only present on my iPad and iPhone. I have my settings adjusted so that every event/entry is to sync, and I just plugged my iPhone into my computer to sync it as well but to no avail.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!Welcome to the Apple Community.
1. First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
2. Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
3. If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings. -
Is it possible to play Clash of Clans on an IPad and an IPhone but have 2 seperate games?
I have been playing clash of clans on the iPad for a while and my boyfriend wants to start one too on his iPhone - but they have the same Game Centre .. He downloaded the app and when it loaded it asked If he wanted to load the game from the IPad he pressed cancel and it began the game from scratch but if he continues will it erase my game? Or will it be separate and have no effect?
I'm not aware of anything specifically for the screen, but there is a general reset which may or may not help : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't help then you could try restoring to your last backup or restoring back to factory defaults.
Do the parts of the screen where you having problems no work on any apps ? It may be a hardware issue with the iPad, in which case you may need to contact Apple. -
Do I need a working computer to move my purchased I tunes to my new iPad? I have the downloads on my iPhone 5 but I don't know if I can use that like a computer. Thanks
You can't sync music from an iPhone to an iPad. If they are iTunes purchases then, depending upon what country that you are in and whether they are still in the store, then you might be able to re download them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on your iPad. Otherwise you will need to use a computer.
-
Should I have one Apple ID for all my products?
Yes if you want to share your purchased Music, Apps etc between them.
-
Can I choose to only store my old private CDs in iCloud or do I have to still have them in ITunes on my PC or Mac?
You can store them in the cloud if you sign up for music match, a $25/year service that uploads you music (what it cannot match) to the cloud.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.
POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"
