IPhone 5c Messages sent by me show an incorrect sent by address
The recipient of Messages sent by me by iPhone 5c sees the gmail address of my wife as the sender rather than my name.
However, when I send an email from my iPhone it correctly shows my gmail address as the sender.
I have only recently started using my new iPhone which was set up by synchronisation with my Mac OSX version 10 9 4
Please advise how I can show my name as the sender of Messages.
Are you and your wife sharing apple id or did you set up your imessage with your wife's apple id?
On your phone go to settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck your wife's apple id and add yours. Do the same for starting a new conversation.
If you can't edit the apple id, then turn off imessage and then reactivate it by using your apple id.

My Friend just got iPhone 5. His texts to me now show up as an email address not his phone number. Whats wrong? when I text to him via his # they sent as a text not iMessage. Help I dont like to have two contacts.
It has to do with his settings in iMessage. His iMessage has to be activated and it has to show his phone # as the "start conversation from".

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4, and activated it this morning. My prior phone is the iPhone 3GS, running iOS 6.0.1. Whenever someone using an iPhone sends me a message, it goes straight to iMessage and doesn't go to my Galaxy. I have no service on my iPhone, just wifi. Even when an iPhone owner sends it to my phone number it goes to iMessage. I disassociated my phone number from my Apple ID, and I removed my phone number from Settings and just put 0, since you have to put in something or else you can't save it. Please help! I want all my messages to go to my new phone, but still have the option to use iMessage in my old iPhone using my email, so I can use it like an iPod.
Thanks in advance :)Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

My message app is not showing the contact names
My Iphone 4 message app isn't showing the contact's names ! It came out of the blue, i didn't turn it off or anything, and the contacts are still in the phone, but all I can see in the Message app are the numbers ?
What can I do ? (did turn it off just but it didn't work)
Thanks !!!Check contacts, and then 'groups' in the upper left corner and make sure everything in there is check marked.
If they still don't appear, you can try to re sync the contacts from the source (iCloud, gmail, etc.) by going into your settings and toggling contacts off and back on.
Hope this helps! -
My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. Ever since the upgrade to ios6, text messages sent from my iPhone also appear on hers? All response to those text also show up on both devices. Likewise, text sent by her appear to others as having been sent from my iPhone. I have tried turning group messages off but nothing works. How can I correct this on both phones? Appreciate any help.

Please can someone tell me how I can change this so when I send a mail from my phone and from the IPad that it reads from me.
You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution. -
I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate message. 2 identical messages sent at the same time. What's up with this? Tried Apple Support by phone, and did a couple of troubleshoots, then my connection with Apple Support was cut off. Issue not resolved yet.
Did the mail get sent? Is the only issue the fact that it appears twice in the Sent folder?

Instant messages sent via ipad2 are showing up on my wifes iphone
Why are my instant messages sent via ipad2 showing up on my wifes iphone?
The two devices are on the same iCloud account. You can actually keep the same iTunes STORE account without having the same iCloud account. On your iOS device, go to settings, and then the iCloud tab. Here, you can choose to delete this account from your iOS device (Not delete the entire account, but just remove it from the phone.) or create a new account. I would recommend setting up one iCloud account for yourself, and one for your wife, while keeping te same iTunes store account so you two can share purchases and other things. Sorry for the delayed response.

Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?
In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.
HI,
The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
Some of this seems to be altering the way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.

How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, etc. I can see their reply on the device I was using at that moment but not on the other devices even iMessaging is turned on. Is there a way to refresh to incoming messages when one picks up one of their other Apple devices?

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?
I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything! I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message. So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number. Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places. The steps below worked and are very simple:
1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number. You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step. Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number. That's every single message...
3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way.
5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal. I used the keypad and dialed to confirm. If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps. Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
Several posts suggested that you should reset and turn off your phone. After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device.
is there a much faster way to achieve the same results? Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need. -
where I can find the code that is supposed to be shown on my Mac to allow iphone text messages to also be sent and received on iMac?
Hi,
Long Answer.
Enable the iPhone for Messages. Make sure it Verifies and that your can Send from the iPhone Number.
To do that you can Enable the iMessages account in Messages on the Mac using and Apple ID.
The iPhone can then send from the iPhone Number to the Apple ID (Mac).
Then add the Apple ID to the iPhone.
The Mac will then get a pop up saying that the iPhone is using the Apple ID and the iPhone number.
Accept this Pop up to enable the Mac to "sync" the iPhone Number iMessages.
(Sync in this case is only "Display on All Devices").
Now you can enable Text Forwarding on the iPhone.
IF the Apple ID and iPhone Number are already linked this will launch the app if it is Quit and display the Code number you need.
The number then need to be entered back on the iPhone to complete the process.
The Text Forwarding option on the iPhone should then show the device(s) that are linked this way.

How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.
Hello Hrd1977,
This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!
If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

My iPhone 4 has disappeared and I know its batttery had died, and i probably put it down in the house, but its weird bc i should have found it by now-it's been a week. When I go to 'findmyphone' from iPad it says 'location services disabled' but I know I did not disable it bc I intentially like to have the option to locatevit since my kids are sticky fingered and snag it when I'm not looking a lot. I've tried sending messages to it and dinging it but i can't hear it ( Im guessing bc it's off) but it does says messages sent. Does that mean it is on and connected to the network? ? I would have thought if it were off then, it would say phone is off; not connected to wifi etc message cannot be sent...trying to decide if someone (like cleaning lady) might have snagged it or if I keep sending messages to a dead phone that no one is getting? Help!
Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.
