    Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • My imessages are only sending from my email address?

    When I send iMessages they always send from my email addess attached to my apple id rather than my phone number.
    When I go to Settings>Messages>Send & Recieve my phone number is in grey and I can't select i!
    Please help!

    Hello gomoll,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to start a new conversation from a phone number and not an email address. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    The greyed out phone number is under how you can be reached.
    When you start a conversation is another option you can change. 
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    The telephone number will be dimmed when you view these settings on an iPhone.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • When I try to print an address from Address Book on an envelope, the printer menu shows the menu from IPhoto.  All other print requests show the normal pinter menu. How do get the normal menu?

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?

    How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?
    I have even been able to pair to the other device, but I don't see the option to send/copy/move files through Bluetooth.
    I can only send my Address book via bluetooth.
    Please help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the receiving device. Be aware that RIM only supports BT file transfer between BBs...with other devices is technically unsupported. But, it usually works, as long as the two devices are paired, trusted to each other, and each have all of the correct BT services enabled for the configuration of the other device.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I recently had to erase my Iphone 5s. Now, when I send texts, it shows them coming from my email address.  I'd rather it just showed them coming from my phone

    I recently had to erase my IPhone 5S, and now it's been restored, and when I text, it shows my messages coming from my email address rather than from my phone # or my name, like they used to be shown.   How can I change this setting back to the way it was?   Thanks

    It doesn't offer me "start new conversations from".
    I presume you can see "You can be reached at ...", so do you only see your email there? (i.e. no phone number?)  If so, then the "send from" may not be an option since your iPhone only has one point of contact, your email.
    If you don't see your phone number under "You can be reached at ..." then sign out of iMessage and FaceTime, then send a text message to any non-iOS friend you know, then sign back into iMessage and FaceTime.  That may re-establish your phone number with Apple's servers.

  • Why does my iMessage randomly send from my email instead of phone number on my iPhone?

    Hi,
    I have iMessage set up on my iPhone 5s (fully updated) and regularly use it since most of my contacts also have imessage. I mainly use it on my iPhone, but sometimes use the messaging app on my Mac.
    I have an email linked to my iMessage, it is my apple ID. I have it set as "can be reached at" my phone number and email and "start new conversations from" ONLY my phone number.
    However, sometimes when I'm in the middle of a text conversation with someone, they will end up getting an imessage from my email and not my phone number, which confuses people and puts the conversation in two different places.
    Is this a common issue? Do I just remove the email from where I can be reached at? Does doing that disable me from using the messenger app on my mac?

    Unfortunately yes - if you have both phone number and email checked as available then sometimes the choice from where to send appears to be random.
    However you may want to disable the email as a potential contact point on the phone and leave it on in the pad and see what happens - given the cloud based nature of the system it may synchronize at some point but at least you will know .

  • Mail showing attached pictures from previous email after upgrade to Mavericks

    My Apple Mail app is configured to show the email body in the bottom pane when I select an email in the email list in the top pane.
    I receive emails on a scheduled basis from a security camera.  The email contains attached pictures.
    THE BUG: After upgrading to Mavericks, when I am in Mail and am going from one email to the other, the image does not refresh to the image from the newly selected email.  It continues to display the images from the first email that was selected.
    Is this a known issue.  Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks,
    Al.

    re index
    search not working so well: Try this: Quit Mail > then > Move ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index to the desktop > Re-open mail and see if that fixed it
    some are recommending above

  • Imessages are being sent from my email instead of my phone

    When I send iMessages from my iPhone 5S or my Macbook Pro, the recipients say they're coming from my email address and not my phone. How do I rectify this so the messages all come from the iMessage and not email?

    If you have no intention of using iMessage, but have used it in the past, you will have to deregister your number. Then you will have to make sure you have a texting plan on your account. If others have messaged you with iMessage, they will have to remove your contact and any messages from their devices so you are no longer registered on their devices as using iMessage. See this link from Apple. https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

  • How do I keep my iPod from deleting emails on other devices?

    My wife and I share the same POP and iCloud account. When I delete email from my iTouch it deletes emails on all of our Macs. How do I keep this from happening?
    I have my iPod set to delete on iPod only. Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> my POP account or IMAP> Out going Mail Server, Advanced> Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox> and I have selected the setting: On My iPod.
    I've been trying to find a way to change this behaiveour with out any luck. I have some friends with the same problem.
    Thanks!

    A POP account does not syncronize the account among messages.
    Could it be that your are deleting the messages from the server when you get the mail on your iPo
    in Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> my POP account or IMAP> Out going Mail Server, Advanced> Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox> set it to nerver remove messages from the server.
