IMessage: Is there anyway for me to imessage using my phone number from my Mac?

Whenever I imessage from my Mac, it shows up on the recipiant's device as my appleID, and when I contact the same person using my iPhone, the message shows up as my phone number. The ending result is two threads of the conversation on the recipeiant's end. I am wondering, with the new update, is it possible to use only my phone number for an imessage on my Mac and not my email address?

Nope I've been wondering that myself, but I'm afraid messages sent from your Mac will only show up as your apple ID email, while messages sent from your iPhone use a SIM card therefore will show up as digits. Think it just works that way, sorry!

Open the Messages app on your Mac. Choose Preferences from under Messages in the menu bar. Then choose the "Accounts" tab. All the settings are there.

Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but it is using the phone number fine.

I recently had to delete my yahoo email,which also serves as my apple id,is there anyway for me to transfer all the purchased data from my old account to a new account?

I recently had to delete my yahoo e-mail account ,which is also my apple ID ,is there anyway that i can transfer all my purchased songs,pictures,and apps to a new apple account?

You do not need to create a new Apple ID, you just need to change the email address (which is your username) for your Apple ID. People change email providers all the time and they just change the ID. In fact, you do not want to create a new ID because you cannot transfer everything to a new ID. All purchases are tied to the ID that was used to make the purchases.

IMessage sending from email not phone number from my Mac?

So I bought a macbook pro and i at the time had an iphone 4. When i started the messages app on the macbook, it prompted me to sign in and everything and then i could send imessages as if they were from my phone number. Then, i got an iphone 5 and all of a sudden the messages from the macbook were being sent from my email, not my phone number, and I have no idea how to get it back to sending from my phone number. HELP?!

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
From the Messages menu bar, select

Hi, i purchased and downloaded the lr6 desktop app (update), and used my serial number from the email from adobe but it said it was only eligible for lr5. thanks, rich

hi, i purchased and downloaded the lr6 desktop app (updating from lr5, paid 80. for the update), and used my serial number from the email from adobe sentbut it said it was only eligible for lr5. thanks, rich

If you purchased an upgrade from LR5 to LR6 then after you enter your LR6 serial number, you will need to enter your LR5 serial number, unless LR6 finds LR5 on the computer. This also assumes that you've purchased the perpetual license of both LR5 and LR6, not a cloud license for LR5 which doesn't use a serial number for licensing. If entering a LR6 then LR5 serial number into LR6's serial-number area isn't working, then is there something special about the LR5 that would make it ineligible for an upgrade?

Is there anyway to recover my iMessage history from my iPhone to my Mac? Thank you!

HI,
Sorry I should have been clearer.
The only way to move any iMessages from and iPhone to a Mac is at the point when they are using the same Apple ID.
Older items are not included in this "Sync".
Messages on a Mac will read older .ichat files (Saved Chats).
It seems that the iMessages on the iPhone do get stored in any iPhone Backup and that can be used to Restore Messages from one iPhone to another.
People state that there are utilities for extracting the iMessages (either from the current display or the Backups) but I have not read that any will then enable the result to be imported in to Messages.

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

There are two methods to recover deleted imessages.
1. Restore them from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup.

Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client t

Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client to edit and update text and to a lesser extent images on the website?
I don't care if the client text/image editing and updating doesn't update in my Adobe Muse, as long as my client can update the text online.
Please help me answer this question, I have used adobe for decades (2) and am a print designer. I want to use Muse for websites but if my clients can't update text and images, I don't see how I can make it work.
If I have to use Business Catalist too; I don't care. I just want to be able to use this great software.
Sorry if I soud desperate but I'm holding on starting a website for a new client and need to get this answered first.

At the moment you can't using Muse's widgets, though you can insert html! So, you could have photo galleries linked to flickr that the client can update to, for example. I'm sure there are other options for slicker slideshows that can be updated client side!
For text, I'm too much of a novice, unless you were wanting a blog style: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/7257782-creating-a-blog-in-adobe-muse-powered-by-nab ble
Basically, I think you need to find the right html to embed for your purposes

I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
Thank you!

TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

I am a teacher that uses the iPad in the classroom. I have an itunes account setup for my classroom without a credit card listed. Is there anyway for me to purchase apps to use in the classroom with a Purchase Order?

(Being sarcastic - its because only the US is big or important enough to warrant volume licensing....)
At this time, until Apple decides to release volume licensing structures outside of the US the only solution would be to use your purchase orders with a company that sells the iTunes Vouchers and redeem those.
However - even then its hard to stay on the right side of the EULA when the terms are all couched in reference to "Personal Use"
I have spoken to some developers in the past about educational discounts, or even support for proxies, and wasn't really impressed with their answers. But hey - even Adobe has trouble with proxies and consistent approaches - we can't expect independent developers to be able to match the same capabilities...
