IMessage app sends messages to my email and not my iPod touch???

I have the new iPod touch and a friend of mine has the iPhone. We tried talking through the iMessage app and when I try to send her a message it says "number not registered with iMessage" and when she sends one to me it goes to my email and not my iPod touch. What are we doing wrong????

  • Why is my iphone sending messages from my email and not my number?

    My phone will send messages from my email rather than my number. I have gone to the settings to switch it to send just from my number. When i do that, it does not send. What do i do to fix this problem!?

    Hello therealdeal333,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're only able to send iMessages using your Apple ID (email address) on your iPhone. If you're not able to send iMessages using your phone number, first try signing out of iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    If you send iMessages from other devices (such as a Mac or iPad), sign out of those as well.
    Then sign back in on your iPhone:
    On your iPhone first, sign back in to iMessage and Facetime.
    Sign back in to iMessage and Facetime on your other devices (if necessary.)
    You can find the steps I quoted above, as well as more troubleshooting help, at this link:

  • My iMessage send messeges from my email and not my number

    My iMessage only lets me send messages from my email and not number .... I just updated to iOS 7. Any suggestions

    Try turning iMessage off and back on again. That usually fixes it. Note, however, that heavy server loads my delay the reactivation.

  • My imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.  I delete my phone number and are unable to click on my phone number because its greyed out.  PLEASE HELP ME

    my imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.   i deleted my email and am unable to click on my number because its blacked out.  WHAT DO I DO?

    But my whole issue is that I can't get on my moms phone to turn it off. I'm asking even if I make a new Apple ID and under send and receive click on these two options,
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-25x-xxxx(my number)
    [email protected](new Apple ID I made)
    will my messages still be sent to my moms phone even though I'm using a different Apple ID.  because on hers, it has her number, my number and her Apple ID  all turned on. If I'm not making sense I'll try and explain better. But currently her send and receive looks like this:
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-79x-xxxx(her number)
    -248-25x-xxxx
    [email protected]

  • My messages use my email and not my phone number on my mac. How do I change this?

    I use the messages app on my computer quite frequently and whenever I send out a message to a friend's phone, they receive it as my email and not my phone number. I know there is a way to change this because my friend does it all the time on her computer but we see it as her number. Please someone help me fix this. Thank you.

    Hey jumnalailaa,
    Great question. This can be accomplished if you have an iPhone that is registered with the same Apple ID in iMessage.
    The following article outlines how to link your phone number for use in OS X.

  • My contacts receive my text messages from my email and not my phone number

    Hi all
    When I send a text message to another iMessage recipient my text message address comes through as my email address and not my phone number. Why is this and how do I fix it?
    Thanks

    I tried that. My phone number shows up in black and won't let me select it. I tried to delete me email and it won't allow me to do that either. Suggestions?

  • I can only access the itunes store from my pc and not my ipod touch.  It says incorrect password, but I know it is correct.  I have changed my password more than 3 times in the past few months to resolve this issue but to no avail.  Someone please help!

    I have had the same account for over 4 years.  I have had my ipod touch for 2 years and have always been able to access the itunes store and download content from my pc and my ipod touch.  A few months ago, I started to receive the message that I've entered the wrong password but I know that it is correct.  I can download all I want from my pc without any problems at all.  How do I get my device to accept my itunes password so that I can get back to downloading content directly to my device?

    I'm having the same issue.  Just hooked up a Mac Mini and running the internet just fine over wifi, but Facetime isn't working.  I'm going to try resetting my router in the morning.

  • Email and safari on ipod touch

    I can't open both, I need to know why i just bought it yesterday
    thanks

    You can restrict those apps in the restriction settings in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you will still be able to get your mail and buy apps. The icons will not be visible after you have set the restrictions. But don't forget the code, you'll have to do a factory reset of your device if you don't remember it anymore and you want to change the settings.
