Invitee email addresses come up wrong when typed in
When I am trying to add invitees to a meeting on iCal, I type in the first few letters of their name or email and something entirely different comes up, as if
it does not recognize I am typing an "a", it comes begins to list email addresses in the "t's", for example. Happens when any combination of letter
Oh yes we always have options.
Before we go any further, does this behavior only occur with specific names / email addresses? If so you may have more than one addressbook card in addresssbook with a similar name / email address and one of them may have a misspelling. Try typing in the misspelling that keeps showing up in the iCal Invitee field into the Addressbook search field to see if maybe there is a card with a misspelling (in which case correct it or delete the card in question if it is a duplicate).
If that isn't it then:
Reset sync services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 and restart the computer.
If that isn't it then:
1.) Go into Addressbook
2.) If you have groups created click on each group 1 at a time and go to File > Export > Group vCard for each group saving them to a logical location. Do this for the "All Contacts" group as well.
3.) Make an addition backup of Addressbook by going to File > Export > Addressbook Archive
4.) Click on "All contacts" and then click on one of the contacts listed to the right (doesn't matter which one)
5.) Go to Edit > Select All to highlight all contacts
6.) Go to Edit > Delete Cards (which deletes all your addressbook entries which is why we made a backup)
7.) Restart the computer
8.) Launch Addressbook and ensure it is still blank and Add a new card with an email address and name
9.) Go to iCal and add an event with an invitee and try typing in the name / email address as you would do normally and see if it correctly recognizes the 1 addressbook card you have in addressbook.
--- If this works then we know that you have an issue with 1 or more of the addressbook cards that were formerly in the Addressbook program. Try re-importing the vCards created in step #2 and see if the issue re-occurs (hopefully it won't as sometimes exporting / importing fixes odd issues with databases).

I have just updated my iphone to iso 7.0.2 on my wifes i tunes on her computer,now when i send a message to people they get my email address come up and when i need to update apps it asks for her apple id... any help please????
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to do an email, most of them have an exclamation mark and won't let me send! Where am I going wrong ? It is really sapping my confidence!
Did you set up your email account info in Settings?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts > your account should be listed in there with the appropriate incoming and outgoing mail servers and correct user names and passwords. -

All apps are tied to the apple ID used to buy them.

I have recently changed my email address and cosequent apple ID when I went to buy Lion download the old email address comes up?
By default, the email address that you last used will be automatically displayed in the Apple ID box, leaving you just the password to enter. Just change the email address and enter your password an you should be fine. Note that you may see that old email address pop up a few times more - here, in the iTunes store, etc. - but if you've changed both all of your purchases, etc., should be linked to your 'new' Apple ID.

How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?
You must be talking about email aliases. Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right. Go to preferences>accounts. YOu can define aliases there. Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address. How do I play the music that I have purchased? My account is current with the new email address.
You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?
Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch. When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.
Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify. -
I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.
How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone. The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
Please help. Thanks.Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.
