IMessage texts displaying as email- can't select my phone #

Hello,
I recently went into the Apple store as my iPhone 5 was having some issues. One thing we did was restore my phone from the iCloud. Ever since, all my iMessages are showing to other users as from my email address.
I have seen prior suggestions to go to "Settings" - Messages "Send and Receive." However, when I go here my phone # is greyed out. I can't delete the email address.

I was able to find an answer from Apple- I needed to go to "Settings" - iCloud- Delete Account and then re-login into the account.

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

How can I stop my iPhone from texting to an email address instead of a phone number? It is not an iMessage account.

My phone will select an email (not an iMessage account) to send a text to instead of sending it to the phone number. At times it lets me select one of the two but often does not. Especially in group messages. Any suggestions? It is getting really annoying.

I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

I can't select my phone number for iMessage (-sigh- Yeah, this problem again)

Let me explain the whole scenario:
My iMessage and FaceTime worked perfectly fine this morning.
I turned off my iMessage to check if I would be able to get messages from other iPhones.
My observation is that when an iPhone has their iMessage turned off and someone else who sends an imessage to that phone, their message would automatically turn to "text" messages instead of imessages. (Whoa, that sounds a bit confusing).
Anyway, I turned my iMessage back on and what do you know, I can't click my phone number because it's grey
I'm only able to select my emails. So for "send and recieve" it says "No address" (Because i didn't select anything, I'm waiting for my phone number to 'magically' get selected)
I have tried so many things and it's irritating.
My Facetime worked well, I would turn it off and back on and my number would get selected instantly. And I messed around with it, turning it off and back on to see if it'll automatically choose my number and it did. But I turned it off and on again and now It doesn't choose anything, it just says "Waiting for Activation"
But now after so many attempts of trying to turn it off and back on just to fix this iMessage crap, I can't even sign in to my apple id anymore. It says that I can't sign in and that I need to check my network connection. (I'm using wi-fi. And it's working perfectly fine; My network connection is fine)
So now, I'm really screwed. my iMessage and Facetime don't work anymore.
I'm really looking for a solution to this annoying problem.
By the way, it's an iPhone 4s and my carrier is T-Mobile.

I had the same issue. I cannot tell you why it happend although it may be tied to me changing my Apple ID passowrd.
Regardless, this was the solution for me:
Go to "Settings" on your device (I used my iPhone 5s).
Scroll down and select "Messages".
Select "Send & Receive".
Touch your "Apple ID: [email protected]" (top line in blue text).
Touch "Sign Out".
From the Messages window turn iMessage back on and sign back into your Apple ID account.
Your phone number should now be selected by default. Select the email addresses you also want assoaciated with your iMessages account and click "Next". It will verify your info and your DONE!

My texts are sendin from my email not my phone number and I can't select my phone number only the email button

It will not allow to select my mobile number to send an revive message only lets me select the email

Go to Settings/Messages and log out. Do the same for Settings/FaceTime. Then go here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and deregister the old number. Finally, log back in to Settings/Messages and FaceTime.

IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

How do I stop sending my texts thru my email and go thru my phone?

Can you help me. I just recieved the Iphone 4s and all my texts are sent thru my email. Names only appear on my texts if they are on my email contacts not my phone contacts. How can I go thru my phone to text instead of my email?

I do not see the Caller ID any where. Recieved only brings up my Apple ID for iMessage and then my phone number plus a place to add an e-mail.
Scroll down? If not there, it might be because you don't have an email assigned to iMessage, thus you don't have a Caller ID choice, i.e. only your phone number.

MacBook Pro iMessage sending from my email account and not my phone number... how do i change this?

Hi i've had my phone and MacBook Pro connected for ages and recently my iMessage on my computer is now sending messages via my email address - how can i stop this? or rather change it back? i've just done the upgrade to Yosemite
thank you

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

After lollipop update can't select dialer (phone or skype)

How to reset the option of calling either via the phone or skype or other app?
Since the update calling numbers go directly to the phone, no choice is possible. I searched many forums for the right answer but no luck yet. Resetting to standard settings is not possible as not active. In the phone account for SIP changing to "for all calls" doesn't help (I don't have SIP account). I tried several other suggestions but nothing worked. Has anybody the same issue or the real answer?
Thanks a lot

Hi and welcome to the community!
I know there was a change regarding this in the update to Android 5.0. With previous versions of the firmware you would get a question which app to use when you used our dialer and there could be issues using the "Always" option (it kept asking even though you selected "Always"). This was fixed in Android 5.0 so i suspect that you need to open Skype now if you want to call using Skype but i'll try to find more information about this.

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!

Can't select text in header

Man... Just found out after build several web sites that, if you want a browser to show a title other than the explicit name of the page in the left column, you need to edit the text in the header.
Easy enough. So now, in an existing web site I've built, I turn "show navigation menu" back on so I can see the header text. problem is, I can't select it. All the names up there are the names of my pages. If I click on the box, I can resize it, but I can't select the text at all to change it. If I click on one of the page names, it takes me to that page, so the links are working.
To calrify... I don't want to show this header nav bar. I just want to be able to control the name that comes up in the browser frame, without actually changing the name of the page.
Am I missing something? probably.
Thanks.
B

When you first create a page there is a text box at the top just under the navbar with the name of the theme in it. Whatever is in that text box will be the text that shows in the top of the browser's window, i.e. Welcome, About Me, My Photos, etc. (that is if you don't change that text).
If you don't want to change what you currently have you can use the following code in an HTML snippet to set the title of the page to be displayed by the browser:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.
