Iphone 5 with ios 8 text message issue
My iphone 5 just got back from being at the Apple store for a week for them to fix the lock button issue that was under recall. It now has IOS 8 and when I send texts, they show up with my email address instead of my phone number. I have already checked Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversation from: My phone number - and the problem still persists. Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into a Bluetooth connection issue since upgrading your iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1. The interoperability of devices manufactured by different companies can sometimes be frustrating. Try taking a look at the two articles below, they will resolve most issues like the one you described.

I hope this helps,

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I am receiving text messages from a changing, partial number. how to I stop them? I have an iphone 5 with ios 8.3 and use AT&T. I tried to forward them to AT&T but there is no way I could find to put the [email protected] into the To: field
Sign out of iMessage on the iPad. If you are using the same AppleID on both devices for iMessage, that is expected behavior.

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4. I just tried to sync my phone to my itunes acct to load new music onto my phone and it gave me a message saying that it was unable to sync b/c "the sync session failed to start". It let me download all pictures, but would not let me do anything else and just kept repeating the same message. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.
Photostream transfers photos taken on your iOS devices to other devices and your computer. For troubleshooting Photostream see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 -
Calendar sync issue on iPhone 4 with iOS 8.1.2
Hi,
Just updated my iPhone 4 with iOS 8.1.2, some of my calendar entries like birthday entries which I marked as an all day event for so many years are not getting updated on my iPhone 4 where my iPad mini with iOS 8.1.2 is showing the missing data. Can anyone help on this issue?
ThanksHi s.linus,
I see that you may be having an issue with the birthday calendars on your iPhone. First, make sure that your birthday calendar is activated on all of the devices that you wish to see it on:
Use multiple calendars - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph3d1110d4
View the Birthdays calendar. Tap Calendars, then tap Birthdays to include birthdays from Contacts with your events. If you’ve set up a Facebook account, you can also include your Facebook friends’ birthdays.
You may also need to make sure that your calendars and contacts are both being updated via iCloud in order to ensure that changes come through on all devices. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now I cannot retreive or send my e-mails. We have an Exchange server at work. I still receive the e-mails on all my devices just fine and I can see the subject headings & a small portion of the body of the e-mail, but when I open the e-mails there is no body and it reads, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Very aggrevating and is not helping my business at ALL!! Same has happened with both iPads we own now.
Delete then add back the exchange acct on each device.

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?
I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution. -
What is going on??? Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user also get sent to my daughters iPhone 4. And she can receive my text but cannot reply to me.

Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!
You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G. -
Help me please... Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?
Since Straight Talk, using a GSM iPhone is not "officially" supported, you're gonna have to configure the APN settings manually. Go here:

This site is a collection of APN setting for unsupported GSM carriers. This is a good place to get the correct settings for your phone. -
My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?
If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:
