My house address shows up when I send an email to my daughters' G-mail account.

My house address shows up when I send an email to my daughters' G-mail account. How do I stop Mail from sending this information? I don't want this going out to every person I send an email message to - I'll add it when I want to.
Note: It doesn't show up when I send an email to myself. My daughter said that it shows up on the right side of screen in her G-mail account...apparently an area where she is used to seeing advertisements?!

This is Redvax1 again....I found the answer.
In the Apple Preferences under "Security" - There is a check box for "Location Services". I had it turned on.
It turns out that G-Mail will pick this up and show your current address in a sidebar of the recipients email.
I turned it off, and it appears to have solved the mystery.
BEWARE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CHERISH THEIR PRIVACY OR ARE HIDING FOR WHATEVER REASON - YOU MAY GIVE YOURSELF AWAY IF YOU SEND AN EMAIL WITH "LOCATION SERVICES" TURNED ON!

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps? It's Grey and won't let me change it. I've signed out and resigned in, but this very odd email address always shows up as my apple ID. Please help if you can, I just need to update some apps.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

I updated my iPhone 4S weeks ago and today it said I needed to update it again, so I did. Now when I send iMessage it comes up with my email address and not my number. How do I fix this?

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4.

My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4. It works fine on my iphone 4s but when I active it only my emails show up and no phone number. I tried turning iMessage on and off, rebooting, hard reboot, signing in and out of my Apple ID but nothing seems to work! Any suggestions?

You are doing all of the right things. Just keep trying. I never owned an iPhone until last week, and I was having fits getting my phone number to appear in my settings. I signed out of Messages and FaceTime on my iPhone and my iPad and just kept trying the whole cycle over and over until it worked. It took about 4 or 5 tries before it finally worked.
Sign out of both apps on the phone and the iPad, then start with the phone and sign in again on that device first, then try on the iPad again

How do I set up an alias email with Mac Mail, so that my alias shows up when I send email from my Mac Mail account?

I am have an email forwarding service, not an email account, which I want to set up as an alias for Mac Mail so that my email appears in the "from" address when I send messages from Mac Mail. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to set up this configuration. Thanks so much for your help!

There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

My attachments are not showing up when I send an email

When I send an email with an attachment, people tell me there is not an attachment, but I can see if on my end.

It happens with all different types of attchments and I have tried to resend. It usually only happens when I send am attachment from my work email address to another employee. Do you think that means its our work server removing the attachment?
I think that's a good possibility. Has it ever happened between home email addresses? To troubleshoot this, you need to keep track of one attachment, who it was sent to, and where, then try that same attachment from/to another location.

Go to Settings/General/Reset and choose Reset All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPhone and allow you to set it up again as new with the proper Apple ID.

When i send imessages they come from the wrong number, how do i change this to my number?

When I send an imessage the receiver see's the number that came with the phone before my number was transfered from old provider. This was also the number that was listed under contacts as "my number". how do I change this?

I had a similar problem when changing SIM cards during a journey to abroad. The new number was accepted, but after changing my SIM that number didn't disappear anymore. I wanted my number to be showed up in iMessage and FaceTime but no chance.
Just to make it clear I'm not talking about the number you are able to change in the settings, I'm talking about the number related within your iMessage and FaceTime settings. I found out that the phone number remains, even if you change your Apple ID or your SIM card.
Finally that worked for me:
1. disable SIM PIN and remove your SIM card
2. remove your Apple ID from the iMessage and FaceTime settings
3. restart your phone
4. insert your SIM card
5. activate iMessage without your Apple ID (wait a few minutes)
6. send an iMessage to an iMessage compatible Email account (the phone should now use your actual phone number)
7. activate your Apple ID within iMessage
That worked for me.

Why do people see my email when i send imessages instead of my phone number

I recently had to erase my phone due to me forgetting my passcode and every since I erased it, my imessages will not work properly. By this I mean, I cant sign in with my apple id. And when i did someone manage to get it up people were saying that my old phone number was showing up. Then I tried to reset again and then email keeps showing up. I've tried everything I can and nothing will make it work properly.

Go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and see if it is activated. If yes, then turn it off. Then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After the phone has restarted, go back into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it on. Make sure it activates, and then go to Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is listed there, is grayed out and has a checkmark by it. If you do not want to use your Apple ID for iMessage, you can tap on it to remove the checkmark.
