IMessage and email address

I just updated my iPhone to the latest software and now when I iMessage someone they receive my email address at the top instead of my contact name...is there anyway to change this

settings - message - send & receive - make sure the cell number is the default.
start a new conversation - cell number is default.
IF the cell number is greyed out then it is the default.

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

Will iMessage deliver to recipients iMessage through email address if their phone off etc..?

Most discussions keep saying it will revert to SMS but that is only when iMessage is sent to cell #. With email method it just sits not showing delivered message.
Will it deliver once they turn on their phone or come into range or should I delete it and just try sending it later?
Also my friend has read receipts on and all along we were texting (iMessage ) by cell#. Then one day she sent by the email address instead. I get those read receipts but suddenly if I imessge to her cell# I never get the read receipt eventhough it shows delivered. I don't think she ever got the message to her. Cell#. That method of imessaging her used to work like a charm.
I find with the iMessages to email address , during instant chat it will take 10 min for me to get her message after seeing the three typing dots.
Any explanations for these issues?

correction... it is 'receive at'.. not 'receive from'..

1.) Click "Manage your account" on the right hand side of the page.
2.) Click edit next to your Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
3.) Edit your account name to the desired email address.
4.) Click Save Changes.
Hope this helps.

How do I change password and email address?

I cannot change my password and email address because I am based in the UK and not in the US. When I try to make a change and save it, it says I have made a mistake on the fields marked red and asks me to complete the parts in red including: the state I live in and because I am not in a state it doesn't allow me to change my details. It also has a problem with my country's telephone code. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

TS2755 My husband and I have iPhone 4S's. For some reason, my text messages show up on his phone. We share the Apple ID, and my settings are such that I send and receive from my phone number and email address. How do we correct this?

My husband and I both have iphone 4S's and for some reason he gets my text conversations w/ other people. We share the apple ID and I have my settings set to and from my phone # and email address. He is getting tired of being apart of text messages I am on. How do we remedy this?

Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
If it's another app, then whatever the rules of that app says is what works.
If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

How to email a list of names and email addresses?

I have a group of about 60 people with various amounts of data in each of their Address records.
I want to send an email to the group with a list of the names and email addresses of everyone on the list. I don't know how to do this neatly. Got any ideas?
If I put the group name in "to" in Mail, each person gets a messy non-alphabetical list with commas. If I send a group vCard, I send more data than I want to send. If I make a printed list, I have to convert to a pdf file and send that which is not nearly a simple as a text list.
Is there any way to export fields of my choice from Address into either text or spreadsheet format?
I want to send a list like this, but with tabbed columns.

Thanks,

Thanks, Thomas for the prompt response, but the pdf method has two problems.
First, it's got to be in landscape mode, or the email address word-wrap. That makes for a five-page list. I want to send a 60-line text list.
Secondly, there's no way to eliminate the label (work, home, other...) from the email address field.
I will use the pdf method if no one comes up with a better idea.

Why are url and email addresses not fully viewable in a PDF when generated from a Word file?

I have a question?
A colleague in our Copenhagen office wanted to generate a pdf from a Word file. She is working on a Windows 2007 operating system and is running Acrobat Pro 9. When she generated the PDF only part of a url and an email address was visible when the PDF was viewed. She was wofking from Standard settings. I am running the same software on the same Windows platform and using the same computer equipment with the same settings yet I was able to generate a PDF where the full url and email address was visible.
Can anyone out in Adobe Acrobat land provide me with an answer?
Patrick Lennon

That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

How to show users display name and email address in open social widget?

Hello experts,
Is it possible to retrieve users display name and email address with opensocial javascript e.g. Login widget seems to load user data (and userData.firstname) during the site init. Is this something that could be consumed or is there some opensocial data request that could/should be used. Any working sample widget spec would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ville

Hi Ville,
in the logon widget, we also use the data retrevied from siteInit.loadData.data.user. However, this widget is part of the out of the box openSocial widgets, it is being released with the product code, not as a separate OS widget deployed on HANA Cloud Platform.
If you'll do window.parent.siteInit you'll probably will get the data you are looking for, but this isn't the official public API, so you can use it but we cannot commit on keeping this structure.
Why do you need this information in the widget level? Does your widget require authentication or is it for personalization needs?
The best way is to retrieve this info on the java side using HAHA Cloud Platform APIs and send them back to the client.
Look at this - SAP HANA Cloud Platform SDK >
Package com.sap.security.um.user
Interface:
User
This interface provides read access to user data and is an extension of Principal.
UserAttribute
The interface represents abstraction over a user general attribute, such as an e-mail address.
UserProvider
This interface represents the service interface which provides read access to a user implementation.
