No Phone Number for messages on Mountain Lion
I updated to 10.8 mountain lion today. when i message people from my mac it comes up with my email address on the recipents iphone? is it possible to change this so it uses my mobile number instead?
Thanks
Only when iOS 6 comes out and gives you the ability to officially use your phone number for iMessages (instead of just for iPhones, as it is now).
So when iOS 6 comes out, this issue will resolved.
So yes, they are working on it and a fix is coming out soon.

How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?
My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon. Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number. Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.
Are you trying to message another Apple device?

How do I find the phone number for messaging?
Where and how do I find out my phone number for messaging with my itouch?
There is no phone # associated with your iPod Touch for use with iMessage. It actually uses your Apple ID email address instead. To view this email address, head to Settings -> iMessage -> Receive At.

What should I do If I've already got serial number for update to Mountain Lion but I can't
I brought my Macbook Pro on 26 June 2012 so I can upgrade to OSx Mountain Lion for free.
After I tried to claim serail number but I was stuck in step three (my internet access down when I was moving to last step)
Now I'm try and try to do that again but it's said that I've already got serial number so what should I do?
How can I get Osx Mountain Lion?Your only option will be to contact iTunes Store support and see if they can help you. Click on this link and choose the Account Management option, and create a new case with iTunes Support.
Good luck! -

Help! I received a message on my iPhone that "phone Number Added to iPad4 [NAME of IPAD] is now using [PHONE NUMBER] for FaceTime and iMessage" and it is not my iPad!! What do I do, how do I shut them out??
Use a strong password and set up Two Step Verification on your account.

I have provided the information asked for but the message keeps popping up.
Doesn't sound like that message is coming from Firefox, Mozilla wouldn't need a phone number for anything. Firefox does use an email address for the Firefox Sync feature, but not a phone number - the Sync feature is automated.
Please provide a screenshot of that message, including the URL of the website where that happens. <br />

Why my phone number for showing up on iMessage
why my phone number for showing up on iMessage
Hi,
Actually that is not true
The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.

How do I change the phone number for iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account
Any suggestions?
Hi Lori284,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
First remove the existing phone number:
Additional Information
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
Cheers,
- Ari -
How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?
I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
Thank you!TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?
You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

What do I do if my phone wont connect to my phone number for imessage?
so my phone is acting up and wont let me use my phone number for iMessage! what do i do?!!?!?!??!?!???!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Try this:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New". -
Remove someone who is using my phone number for teir account also
Can a rep contact me to remove an ex employee of ours who is using our Corporate phone number for their Rewards Account? I saw this the other day when I entered my Account number, his name came up under mine.
Hi mrjames,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum. I should be able to remove the corporate phone number from the ex-employee's account information; however, I would need for the ex-employee to make that request. If they were to register for the forum and send me a private message requesting that the phone number be removed from their account, then I should be able to do it. A private message can be sent by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.
Warmest Regards,
