iMessage displays my email address instead of contact name on other peoples iPhone and everything I try does not fix it!!

whether your number or email address is desplayed depends on how you have Caller ID set.
Settings -> Messages ->Receive At ->Caller ID (chose what you want displayed)

  • Mac Mail displays full email addresses instead of contact name

    I use the Mail application on my MacBook for managing multiple email accounts and use the Contacts application to manage my address book (self explanatory).
    For example: I have saved PayPal's email address ([email protected]) into my address book as "PayPay" because of the high number of emails I receive from them. In Mail, each email I have received is displaying the full email address of the sender, rather than their address book name (whether it be a company or friend/relative) and this is making it to spot senders while scrolling.
    Is there a setting where if the email address is in the Contacts app, the name of that particular contact appears rather than the full address?

  • Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

    WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name.  This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas?  I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

    Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
    If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.

  • HT3529 when i send a text/imessge why does the person recieving it see my email address instead of my name?

    when i send a text/imessage why does the person receiving it see my email address instead of my name??

    iMessage requires both parties be using iOS 5. The iPhone 3 can not be upgraded to iOS 5, thus messages would be sent as an SMS (Text message)

  • Can I NOT display my email address next to my name in Mail?

    Right now, I have my Name and Company name in my "Full Name" window in my account settings so when I send mail, the "from" field shows my name and company. But it ALSO shows my email address in the same field, which (to me) is inelegant. Is there a way NOT to display my email address in this field?
    Example:
    the from field says:
    Michael Hope | H+H DesignComm <[email protected]>
    But I want it to say:
    Michael Hope | H+H DesignComm
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!!

    You can create an additional address in the form of an 'alias' which delivers into the main inbox. It's quite a good idea only to give out an alias address rather than the main account one, for security reasons.
    Otherwise you would have to open a completely new iCloud account (which is of course free.)

  • IMessage display my email address

    Hi, I am having problem with iMessage on iPhone 4. When I sent iMessage to someone, my email address appeared on their phone even when they have saved my mobile number in their phones.
    I had this problem on my 3GS as well but managed to solve it by going to 'Settings', 'Messages', 'Receive At', 'Caller ID' and then select my handphone number instead of my email address.
    The problem with iPhone 4 is that after I go to 'Settings', 'Messages', 'Receive At', there is no 'Caller ID' option on my phone. Under the 'You can be reached for messages at', only my email address is there but I can't see my mobile number.
    Is there any way to fix this?

    I've got it to work.. Got this solution from another thread;
    Go to Settings > Messages > Then turn iMessage OFF. Now turn it back on, and it should say "activating", then your phone number should be in the "Receive At" line. Worked for me- hope it helps!

  • IMail: How can I set mail preferences to display actual email address and not short names.

    Even though I have it correctly set in Preferences , i.e. "Use Smart Addresses" is unchecked, the addressee automatically changes to the person's name rather than the email address.   I am unable to find a way to display the actual email address option on iMail (Yosemite)  I do not want nicknames/short names but want the actual email address to display on my address line.   Can anyone advise please?

    Thanks, Ernie
    I wasted about 20 minutes looking for it and couldn't find it

  • Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

    Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

    Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
    I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
    That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
    I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
    Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
    Thank you!

  • How can I set the default in "Write" to display several email address instead of just one?

    Like to see more than one person on the Write screen at a time. The default seems to move the first one up.
    I would rather like to have at least four be able to be seen without any scrolling of addresses. Am familiar with config editor if necessary.

    On my system it was set to the default of 3 address fields. When I went into the config editor and modified the line quoted above to 5 and restarted Thunderbird, the next time I open a Write window I have 5 address fields.
    Only after I fill those 5 fields does the first field scroll up and out of view.
    Yes you can drag the bottom edge of the subject field down to show more fields but this is not permanent. The next time you open a write window it will show the number of fields set in the config editor.

  • How can I edit email address for a contact name

    befor the update, we had a command called Contacts through which I could edit names of contacts who changed their address. I cannot find such a command on the new page.

    That is a question related to whatever email system you use, not your browser. You may wish to ask the question at the support website for that particular system.

    Hi Sunny C,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
    Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
    In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
    Also, check the View command on the Menu bar.  View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
    Cheers,
    Judy

    I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my  contacts  instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account.  How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app.  I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity).  I wish I could start over!!!  thanks.

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts.  I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there.  When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies.  You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
    I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though.  Good luck!

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.
