  • Texts are coming through as email addresses

    twice when ive  texted a coworker from my cell phone and they show me the message it says that the sender of the text is my personal gmail account NOT my phone number like it should be why the **** is it doing this?

    If you go into Settings - Messages - send / receive
    Your phone number is usually in gray and cannot be changed \
    But you should be able to tap on the email and unselect it
    What happens if you try? Any error message?
    And have you tried to reset your phone and try again?
    Thanks

  • 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.

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

    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....

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

    another way to change it is :

    and then do what razmee209 said,
    after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
    I hope this could help you,

  • 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

    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.

  • My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone

    My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone number again?

    This forum is intended for questions about old Apple hardware that precedes the PowerMacs, i.e. hardware from the 1990s and earlier, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I've asked the Communities Hosts to move your post to the iPhone forum.  You'll be more likely to get assistance there.  Regards.

  • ICal Alerts Coming From Wrong Email Address

    I'm on OSX 10.8.2 on an iMac.
    I have about 10 different email accounts in Mail.
    I also have an Address Book card set to myself, designated properly as me, with two of these 10 emails listed in the card for me.
    In iCal, one of my calendars is a Google calendar synch ... I get invites that are imported into Google Calendar, and these in turn get synched with iCal.
    Problem I'm having is this... when a Google Calendar entry is set to alert me by email, the email GOES to the right place, but it shows as coming FROM one of my many other email addresses I have in Mail, and I don't understand why.
    So again, I receive the email alert at the right place -- the problem is who the email alert is coming FROM.
    As my Address Book entry is correct, I don't see how I can control this.  In Mail, when I compose new messages normally it's set to choose the email address automatically of the inbox I'm composing the message from.  So, I don't want to set the default here to any one specific email address.  Could this be causing the issue?

    I was having trouble setting the default email account in the mail app. Even moving it to the top didn't seem to work. Finally got it working by doing this:
    If an account mailbox is at the top, but the account is not the default, drag it down and then back up to the top. This will reset the order and establish the top one as the default.

  • Supposedly people are not receiving my texts. (says undeliverable) my daughter says they are coming from my email to her?? could i have possibly clicked something in error where i am sending via the wrong messages? is anyone able to assist?

    Ive been sending messages on my iphone 5s fine until about a week or two ago. now people are saying they are getting "message undeliverable" when sending me a message. (even when I send and go back to check, I don't even see the text I sent there) I may have accidently clicked something to change the way I send my messages. Any suggestions?

    I know that one does, but should the SMS be turned off or on? Something had to have accidently been changed when I was going through it. ??

  • My texts are sendin from my email not my phone number and I can't select my phone number only the email button

    It will not allow to select my mobile number to send an revive message only lets me select the email

    Go to Settings/Messages and log out. Do the same for Settings/FaceTime. Then go here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and deregister the old number. Finally, log back in to Settings/Messages and FaceTime.
