I would like my number (not my email) to show up when i use iMessage from my macbook air

HI- whenever I use the imessage app on my macbook and send messages to people, it shows my icloud email instead of my phone number, is there a way to change that?

If your number is not showing up, click on add email address and enter your phone number. Then make sure that you have that checks and set as the default. See pic below.

How do I get my email to not show up when I use iMessage?

After updating my software to iOS 7, every time I use iMessage my email shows up on others phones instead of my contact name and my phone number. I tried making sure my phone number was entered into my appleid settings, restarted my phone and signed in out of my appleid but nothing works. My phone number is greeted out and does not show up under "start new conversations with" like it says it should on the apple website. This is a really frustrating problem and am desperate for a solution. Please help!

Hello Remundy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage. It sounds like your phone number is not checked and greyed out in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. This usually occurs when the phone number is waiting to be activated with iMessage. It should take no longer than 24 hours, and may resolve on its own.
However, if you continue to have issues, the following article usually provides a resolution:

Why is it when I select my personal preferences/user/login items, that when i select the check box for items to NOT pop up on my dock when i restart and start my macbook air 11 inch that they still continue to?

why is it that every time i start up my macbook air and when i restart it, that the new office with word and those three other apps constantly pop up? even though i went to personal preferences/users/login items, and selected the box that clearly says "items to NOT be brought up when logging in" ?

Not all emails are showing up when using a contact group

Hi,
I haven't seen a similar question posted to the forum, so hopefully someone can help me.
I have a MBP running Mavericks 10.9.5 and I'm trying to create a contact group to expedite emails. I've created the group in my mac's contact app, however when I select the group to email (regardless of if I select "send email to..." in contacts or do a search for the group directly in the To: line of the email) only 2 of the 6 contacts in the group show up.
Some troubleshooting I've already tried: adding the same group to all the accounts in the contacts app (i.e. iCloud, On My Mac and my personal email account); verifying there's only one email address shown in each of the individual contact cards; switching all the email address labels from "email" to "home" in each contact person's card; and the classic restart.
It's always the same 2 contacts of the 6 that show up, so I'm assuming there must be something those two have the the others don't. I appreciate any ideas on what else to try.
Thanks!

Thanks. I had the first row colored as a header but it wasn't defined as a header. As soon as I did that within Numbers the table appeared.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?

The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

HT2623 I would like to change my iCloud email address.

I would like to change my iCloud email address but don't know how.

You can't change it. To get a different address you have two options:
1) Setup a whole new iCloud account under a different AppleID
2) Setup an email alias within your existing account: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

HT2623 I would like to change my "@me" email address and keep my apple id as is

would like to change my "@me" email address and keep my apple id as is

You can't change and @me.com email address. You can set up an @icloud.com alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox, but you can't get another @me.com address at this point (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). Just be aware that you can't later use an alias address to set up a new iCloud account, transfer it to another account or reactivate it should you ever delete it.

I would like my number (not my email) to show up when i use iMessage from my macbook air
