My iMessage always shows up as my email never my phone number because it doesn't give me the option for that. PLEASE HELP!

I'm having troubles with my iMessage. Every I text people when I have iMessage (Internet) it always shows up as my email. Never my number, whenever people text me it goes to my text messages (green) please help. It doesn't even give me the option of "Start new conversation from" because it won't let me click on my number when it says "Address". I need to prevent this ASAP!

Using an email configuration provided by my service provider doesn't give me the option to delete after adding it. Suggestions?

So I've recently obtained a server domain name for a new email address for a new business. The service provider has an easy configuration step-by-step process for setup. I did this on my iPad, now I'm trying to delete the account and can't. Help? It doesn't give me the option when I go in through the settings.

Normally to delete an email account you use the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap on the email account you want to delete > scroll all the way to the bottom to find the Delete button.

If i got an email saying my phone is ready to be picked up at the store does that mean I dont have to pay a deposit?

One has nothing to do with the other.
You have to pay for the phone if you did not do so online.
Must show ID and if new service you may have to pay a security deposit. Go to the store find out.
Good Luck

HT201363 How can I reset my security questions even when it doesn't give me the option to send the answers to my email???

How can I reset my security questions even when it doesn't give me the option to send the answers to my email??? I honestly dont even remember doing any security questions. This has just now become an issue since it has stop letting me purchases music on my Mac or IPhone.

To Reset Your Security Questions, You will need to call Apple (0800 048 0408) and Reset them, you'll need for verification access to the apple id web page (myappleid.apple.com) and it will ask for a temporary pin and also a iDevice on hand to recieve a code from Apple in order to reset your security questions

Hello
Try restoring the device and setting up as new.
If it is still shows an iCloud activation lock, then it's on an iCloud account
The wrong device was removed from an iCloud account.
Check any other Apple IDs you might have at
iCloud.com
Get signed into them and remove that device.
I wish this was the first time I seen this.
Best of Luck

I can't imessage my other iphone4 it says not delivered and ask me to try again and gives me the option to send as a text

OK so I have two new 4S phones with the new imessage feature, one phone is mine and the other phone is my wife's. I have one itunes account that recognizes both phones as the same email account in the Apple ID in the imessage settings on both phones. We are having problems with the imessage working between us. When we are sitting next to each other it works, but when we are at our seperate places of employment and text each other we get imessage error's "Not delivered", it works fine as a regular text, so I'm guessing it has something to do with both phones having the same Apple ID. How do I get her phone to have her own seperate Apple ID, or is there another way to resolve this issue? Neither one of us has unlimited texting so the imessag feature is really great for us if it will work.

Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

My 1st gen iPad doesn't give me the option to add a tel. Number to iMessage! Why?

How do I fix this issue?

The normal way an iPad uses Messages is through an email address because iPad is not a phone and cannot use phone numbers.
However, if you also have an iPhone, you can associate the iPhone with the same Apple ID as the iPad, and you will get the option of adding the iPhone phone number to your receiving information. This way, if someone messages you using your iPhone phone number OR email address, you will receive that message on both your iPHone and iPad.

Imessage working fine, tried to add email as well as number then it stopped! Now just says waiting for activation!

I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!
HELPPPPPPP

The back button doesn' always work. Even right clicking on the page doesn't give me the option to go back and if i check the history, the page i was trying to go back to, is not listed.

I've noticed the problem yesterday and it has happened few times today again.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

How do I stop the google search remembering what places I have been when I type in a letter. I don't really want all the options for that letter showing up when I type the first letter of the search if I am using the computer with someone else

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
Wrong place to try.
I am sorry but Firefox 29 / Australis Development, and design policy decisions are again off topic on this forum. (We did initially temporarily suspend that forum policy so that people had a chance to say something)
I am sorry but we are only fellow users of Firefox there are no Developers here to see or answer these questions. It only diverts attention and effort from trying to help users with problems.
Please See for example a long recently closed thread.
* ''The I-do-not-like-Firefox-29-layout topic'' [/questions/998106]
That thread includes
*A quote of a developer's comment,
* Suggestions of where you may discuss this, or post feedback
*Helpful information for those with problems from the Firefox 29 changes
* An extract of current forum rules
If you need help and wish to continue using the current Release of Firefox please post another question making that clear and we will do our best to help
If you post again it would help to know the exact message you got and possibly a screenshot (Forum software does not permit screen shots on the first post but you could link to a site with the screenshot on)
I will close this thread as off topic.

My iMessage is showing up as my email. I tried to fix it by going to settings-messages-receive at-caller id but where my number was, it was gray and above my number it says error. What do I need to do to fix this?? Please help!

Do it in settings the same way, except do it under "start new conversation from" under send and recieve. Make sure there is a check mark beside yoru phone number.

On my Mac Pro, when I send emails, it always gives me the option of adding an attachment with a paper clip. Today, the paperclip has vanished. What do I do ?
