ICloud email appears when I IMessage

As soon as I updated to iOS7 my ICloud email now appears when IMessaging to another Iphone. Why? How do I adjust this setting so my phone number will appear instead of my ICloud email.

I had this issue too. I checked the settings as described above and it did not fix the issue.
My other problem was that I was not getting any iMessages on my iPad Mini or laptop with Mtn Lion. I went into my own contact card on all my devices and made sure that my iCloud username (which is one of my emails, and not the icloud email) is labeled as "home". (the other options are work, other, etc.) I am now getting my texts (iMessages) on those 2 devices.
For some reason, one person I text to now has it coming from my phone number again, but others don't and that is really odd. So what is going on? It would be great for Apple to have some instructions of how this all should be set up so that we could fix it ourselves.

I'm so confused! Is there a way to combined these all into one?

I had to restore my iPad to factory settings and now I can't reconnect my icloud email to FaceTime or iMessages as the verification email never comes through what should I do

Yesterday I had to make a trip to the local Apple store as my iPad needed to be restored to factory settings. I came home trying to set up my iMessages and FaceTime but I can't reconnect it with my icloud email as I send a verification email each time and it never arrives. What should I do?

Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases.

Why does my email occur when I imessage them and not my number?

Friends are asking why my email keeps coming up when I imessage them. It's very annoying. Also on Settings > Messages then imessage says it's waiting on activation. Please help

Just Quit mail before you shut down your computer.
Check your log-in items to see if Mail got added to the list. If so Delete it from the list.

My iCloud's nearly at its 5GB capacity, what happens to my iCloud email account when it is?

I have two handheld devices synced to my iCloud account and my iCloud email address.
Between the three of them they are nearly 5GB.
So my query is, what's the scenario when the combined total goes over 5GB and I can't afford to give apple more money on a monthly basis for more storage space?
Obviously I can easily create another account for to sync my handhelds too, but I don't want to get to the point where apple stops me from receiving / sending any more email because I'm over my storage cap! If this is going to happen it makes sense for me to switch email accounts asap!
(I should explain my work means I get sent > 200 emails a day most of which have hi res emails and some of which have mp3s attached so it wont be too long to hammering on the 5GB door max door!)
Thanks.

The only way I can free a few GB is by deleting emails which...
a) I don't want to do as I'm forever needing to refer back to old emails and ...
b) would take ages and...
c) would only be a temporary measure anyway as I have new mail coming in at such a galloping rate!
So I guess my options are to go back to Gmail or throw some ££s in Apple's direction.
Never thought of Apple equivalent to a drug dealer, but here they are having got you dependent on something by giving you years of free access to it, then they suddenly withdraw said service once you're well and truly addicted and tell you you can only have more if you pay them!
Apple have well and truly caught me hook line and sinker with this one! Cant believe I didn't see this coming! Gaaah!

Why does my email appear when i send an imessage?

When I send an iMessage to someone else with an iPhone, it comes up as my email instead of my cell phone number. I haved looked all over the internet and I have also been on the phone with Tech Support for over an hour. But then he was gone all of the sudden? Does anyone know how to make my number show up instead of my email?

Yeah send it from your phone.
Your computer has no knowledge of your phones phone number, it is not a phone.

How can I change my iCloud email address when the account that is attached to my iCloud right now does not exist. I tried to delete the account attached to my iCloud on my iPhone but it requires a password. The password I type in does not work because I h

help please

If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

ICloud email address when I have existing Apple ID

I'm sure this has been solved but could not narrow down this scenario in the support community. My current Apple ID is my current email address, but I'm not renewing my domain and need a new email address. An icloud.com account seems an obvious choice, though I'm wondering what that means to my existing ID and associated iTunes purchases.
https://appleid.apple.com gives me the change to change my Apple ID and I'm assuming once I create my icloud.com email address I change it to that - simple enough.
Do all my iTunes purchases automatically get associated with this new Apple ID?
Is is that simple?
Is there a KB article that documents this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't think you read the post, Mende.
No, I think he's referring to the spam e-mails coming in this morning. I'm assuming that someone set something up to send out billions of emails to everyone with an "@icloud.com" extension. Either that or there was a massive security breach at Apple/iCloud that leaked millions of email addresses. (God forbid.)

Using Imessage only with icloud email on ipad???

I only have an icloud email, and when i set up my ipad to use imessage , it´s not working?? Works great in my iphone, guess it´s because it´s also using my phone number? Mistake in the set up

Also i can receive messages but not send?

TS4002 email appears in inbox, but text of email cannot be viewed in the pane or once opened?

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, some icloud emails appear in my inbox but the text of the email is not visible in the pane or when i open the email. I can view the text on my devices and when i forward to email to another provider, but not on icloud.

I'm also experiencing this. It started only a few days ago. It happens with both Firefox and Safari on both my iMac and Macbook Air. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). My iPhone 5 is not having this problem - I can see all email bodies completely on it. Very frustrating. I really don't want to use Mail as I prefer the iCloud Mail GUI.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

ICloud email multiply replied emails.

Hi,
i have problem with my iCloud email. When I receive some reply on my email, iCloud multiply it in inbox folder. I don't thing it's caused by some my rule.
Thanks for answered

I have this problem also. Actually, I have a problem of mail disappearing from my inbox. For some reason (perhaps the size of my mailbox) mail does not always appear in searches, and sometimes disappears altogether.
I turned Junk Mail off some time ago after noticing that good mail was ending up in Junk, even if the sender was in my address book. (Its all Apple here - Mail, Contacts, Calendar - all on iCloud).
However, good mail is still going into my junk folder and I guess this is happening on the cloud server, since Junk Mail is completely turned off on both my Macs (both running Lion).
I am quite worried about the missing mail - however I need to do some more checking to make sure its not something silly I am doing...
But I agree - Apple should allow Junk Mail to be turned off. Its hopeless!!

Can I use an iCloud email address that's been deleted from another account?

There was one house account, mine, which is an old @mac.com address from way back in the iTools days.
I made a couple email aliases for my daughter when she was younger to use for school.
Now, she has her own iPhone. I gave her another email address (hername @ att . net) so we could register her own Apple ID, and get the confirmation/activation email.
With me so far?
So now, in order to use the Apple bells & whistles, you need an iCloud email. When I try to create one, it says that both the @icloud.com addresses I tried are already in use. (Trust me, they're unique to us.)
I made sure to delete the aliases from my main account, but I still can't use them.
My question is: How long will it take to release those deleted aliases for use again? If at all.
Off topic: What happened to our old Support Communities login ID? I had to use my Apple ID and now I look like a first-timer. Is there a way to merge the old account into this one?

I don't think that's possible. As mentioned here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a, "Aliases are not transferable. Only the iCloud account that created the alias can use it. Once you create an alias it cannot be made into its own account."
Not sure about your second question. You might want to post it over in the Using Apple Support Communities forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/using_apple_support_communities?view=dis cussions.
