My message center in settings shows the wrong phone number, how do I change it

Under settings, messages, send and receive. The phone number listed is my husbands number.  How can I change it to mine?   It was originally listed under my number.

Go slightly deeper into the settings. You should be looking in Settings>FaceTime>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
If your phone number is no longer listed as one of the options in that setting, you may have to turn off messages on all of your iOS devices and start all over again in order to make both phone numbers available and accessible for FaceTime and Messages.

  • IMessage has wrong phone number how do I change it

    My iPhone 4S uses the correct # and so did my ipad up until about a month ago. That's when my daughter got her new 5C and it was set up. She's only 10, so they set it up under my appleID, now her phone # is showing up on my Ipad as the number to send messages to. She is receiving all my text and I hers.
    How do I change the number back to mine on the ipad?
    Thank you

    Try this on both you and your daughters iPhones:
    1. go to settings>messages>send and receive
    2. tap on the Apple ID and sign out
    3. turn iMessage off and wait 10 seconds
    4. turn iMessage on
    5. this should activate iMessage with the iPhones own numbers
    6. now only you sign into the Apple ID for iMessage
    This should revert back to only your number and email showing as the contact info for iMessage and you both should not receive eachothers messages. Your daughter will still be able to iMessage but only with her number unless she creates another Apple ID just for iMessage.
    Note: Only do steps 1-4 for the iPad

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

  • My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

  • I set iCloud up but I have given the wrong email address how do I change it to the correct one?

    I set up iCloud when I got my iPhone 4S but I have just realised I have given the wrong email address how can I change it I put .co.uk and it's .com

    Go to appleid.apple.com, click Manage Your Apple ID, sign into your iCloud account (using the wrong email address), it should prompt you to verify it and allow you to edit your email there. If not, then it will bring you to a screen that will show you your name, your email, and any alternate emails you have. Click the edit button next to "Primary Email Address and Apple ID" and change it to your email.

  • I asked firefox to remeber a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

    I asked Firefox to remember a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

    The left side of the address bar contains a button you can click to get information about that site. The button usually has a little mini-icon for the site and (if it's an encrypted site) the site's name. When you are on the site in question, click that button then click the "More Information" button on the dialog that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Tools menu and click "Page Info". Once you do that (either way) click the "Security" tab at the top and you will be able to click a button to view saved passwords for that site. Delete the incorrect password from that list. You can then log off the site and log back on to have Firefox offer to remember the new password.

  • HT1541 I put in the wrong email address how do I change it (it was fir a iTunes gift card)

    I purchased  2 $10.00 gift cards and I sent it to the wrong email addresses .How can I resent this .Itried to change it but it wouldn't let me .I am very frustrated ......

    The HT1541 page that you posted from has instructions for how to resend a gifts from your iTunes account - assuming that the address that you originally sent it to doesn't exist and it hasn't been redeemed.

  • My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

    I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
    Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
    I have tried-
    1. Turning it off and on again.
    2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
    3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
    4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
    None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
    I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

    I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

    UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
    These were the steps:
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
    Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
    -- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
    Then:
    Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
    -- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
    All done!
    Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

    You should be able to change the email address on the account by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging in

  • TS1387 I am importing CD's into iTunes.  There were 3 different selection for the CD I put in and I accidently selected the wrong one, Now how do I change it?  It seems to only recognize it as the wrong CD now.

    I am importing CD's into iTunes.  The CD that I put in had the option of 3 different CD's and I accidentally chose the wrong CD name.  Is there a way to change it?  It now seems to only recognize that CD as the wrong one.

    Trevor,
    When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
    I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
    I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

  • I accidentally put in the wrong phone number in to verify my iCloud Keychain... How can I go back and fix it?

    So I updated my iPhone5 this morning to iOS 7.03 right, then it asked me for my phone number to verify my iCloud Keychain. The problem with that is that I accidentally put in the wrong number. How am I suppose to fix that? How can I go back and put my actual number in?
