IMessages from Message App received from Apple ID/Email address?

I downloaded Messages and my conversation with the same person shows up in the same thread whether I send it from my iPhone or through the Mac messages App. But for the RECEIVER of the message, it shows up as 2 different threads: one from my phone number and another from my email address. How do I get it to only show up as from my phone number for the receiver?

Hi,
At present you can't.
It is said this will come when iOS 6 is released.

HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

Trying to update "Pages" from App Store. An old email address shows up and am unable to delete.

I am able to purchase a new app from Apple App store using my current email address and password. I am not able to update a previously purchased app (for instance "Pages") that I purchased some time ago when I had a different email address. When I try to update Pages a "grey out" edition of my old email address is sitting in the id box and I am not able to delete it or get it out of the box and use my newer (2 years) email address. I have even tried to update my current email address with a new password which has absolutely no effect when I try to update Pages. Anyboday have an idea on how to get the old email address out of the id box?

Delete Pages and then download it from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing it.

HT1918 How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another? My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another? My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

OK, now I have another problem. I typed in my email address wrong. Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net. Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up. I know, real stupid. Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here? I appreciate your help!!! Carl

I changed my Apple ID/ email address. But iCloud won't let me change from my old one. I don't remember my password to my old one. How do I fix this?

Hello Brookeg189,

HT202667 I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID! H

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

Not receiving email from my work email address.

Hey Everyone,
Normally it would be a blessing but I cannot send emails to my icloud/me account from my work email address.
This was working last Thursday morning but then stopped working towards the afternoon. I have tried sending a test email with a send receipt but even the test email is not working. I have spoken to our technicians at work and they have confirmed that all mail have left our email server.
Emails from other sources that are being sent to my icloud/me account are working.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Perhaps your work's domain address is being incorrectly identified and filtered out as spam. If that were the case you would need to contact iCloud support for assistance. (See "Troubleshooting false positives here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4899.)

There is no way for anyone on this forum to assist you. Apple will also not assist you. If you purchased the device thru ebay, file a claim. If you purchased it some other way, I'm sorry. there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

Why am I able to receive an email from my own email address that I never sent?

I get email in my inbox that sends it to my junk email folder sent from my own email address that I never wrote or sent. It is junk mail and I want to stop it, I see no way to stop email with unwanted words like you could in windows xp.

Spammers can forge any "from" name and address they like on a message. Since most users don't block mail sent by themselves, they hope to slip past your spam filter this way.
Unless you see these items in your Sent Items folder, or they list multiple people from your address book, most likely they are not connected to your email account.
That said, it's a good idea to scan your computer for malware, because many users unknowingly get recruited into spamming rings (a bot program on your computer takes commands from the botnet coordinator and sends out the spam, usually without any visible indication).
