Imessage on iPhone 4 when updated software to ios7

Since I updated my software on my iPhone 4 to ios7 when i message people with iPhone's it shows my email instead of my phone number. I can't even choose my number it's greyed out and I can't click on it!!! Pleaseee help me!!!

Try these steps as needed:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

Itunes v 11.0.2.26 windows - iphone 5 - when updating software asked to transfer purchases - when i go to file - trnasfer purchases is longer an option in this? What am i doing wrong?

When attempting to update to iOS 6.1.3 i get the messge: "there are purchased items on the iPhone "" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should tnasfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you shure you want to continue?"
I cancel. Go to File to look for the Transfer Purchases item like I always used to, and it is not there - not even greyed out. What am i missing?

With the phone connected, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

IPhone Locks when updating software

I was prompted to download a newer version of the software for my iPhone. I got an error message in itunes when downloading the software and my iPhone is currently locked up as a result of this error. The iPhone will not stay on and the only way I can get it to turn on is to reset it. When I reset it, it stays on for a couple of seconds and only displays the graphic for the connection and the iTunes image...nothing works.

Sounds like a hardware issue. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.

If i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

It's a bad idea. It *ought* to recover OK, but there are too many cases where it hasn't to be safe assuming that it will.
If, as Changren Yong says, you have a good backup, you always have the safety net of a restore, but it's a silly thing to do,
My advice when doing software updates is to download separately then update (you're always offered an option to download only). You can do what you like during the download, which is always the ling part of the process for me. The update usually (for me) only takes about 5 minutes.
One further point - in case you didn't know, you can initiate a backup by right-clicking the phone in iTunes and choosing Backup from the drop-down. That should always be part of your update process

I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

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.

HT201210 how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?

how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?
please help..

Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

There is nothing you can do. That is the Activation Lock that Apple has implemented tout down on theft of their iPhones.
Most likely the iPhone is stolen.
It is totally worthless to you.

When updating software in app store automatically uses my partners apple ID

Hi,
Using a mini-Mac which has always been personalised to my apple ID, my girlfriend has a macbook air and iPhone. Somehow when I want to install software update it populates the apple ID with my girlfirends username, not mine?! The system appears to have my ID logged in and iTunes is using mine....it won't let m change it either.

Launch the App store application. On the right side of the Panel, you will find 'Quick Links.' The first line will read either 'Welcom xxxxx' or 'Sign In' Select that and Sign in to the correct App Store account.
You will now have to verify that the Software has been bought for your account or not. If not, you have to 'repurchase,' if you are not in a 'Family Share'. If you are in a 'Family Share' it will provide the option under 'Purchased' to update software from your 'Family'
Have fun
