Phone number not listed in Messages accounts post OS Mavericks updated

I updated to OS X Mavericks, and now my phone number is no longer listed in the Messages accounts.
So when I send messages from my phone, it creates a new thread using my email and those messages do not show up on my phone.
Likewise, messages that are from my phone are no longer updating from my computer.
Any suggestions on how to reconcile this?
Messaging back and forth from my phone and my comp were working simlessly prior to me updating to OS X Mavericks.
Is this a known issue? and is there a solution because it's annoying.
Thank you,
K

iCloud and Messages (or FaceTime) are not linked.
You can have any Apple ID and "register" it for use with Messages for the iMessages side.
Same for FaceTime
In fact the Apple IDs for iMessages and FaceTime and iCloud can be three different IDs

Very true, howevere if you use the same apple id for all 3 of them then it should work as it did for me.  Its worth a try.
good luck

  • Phone number not listed in Imessage Caller Id

    Okay i'm having a problem with my texts being sent as my email address using Imessage instead of my phone number.   The problem is when I go into settings, messages, received at ect....  My phone number isn't listed there.  It only has my email!  It also doesn't allow me to select the email to delete it.  My phone number is listed under phone in the phone settings, and will also show up as my number if I turn the imessage off.   The country seems to be set up correctly and I have verizon so I can't take out a sim card.  Any ideas on how to fix this? 

    Just thought I'd let everybody know how it finally got resolved 1 week later!
    After trying absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Apple support, apple forums etc told me to do, the only thing that worked was turning iMessage off, waiting for at least 24 hours at then turning iMessage back on.
    It activated itself within a few minutes, no dramas at all!
    Hope this helps!

  • IMessage waiting for activation. Phone number not listed in Send and Receive at?

    I'm going to try to be as descriptive as possible, as I'm not too sure what else I can possibly do to resolve this issue.
    3 or 4 days ago I requested a number change through my provider. Not knowing that I had to turn off iMessage whilst waiting for the change to occur, I left it on.
    Later that day my friends were complaining that I was sending them texts from two different numbers, one being my new number, one being my old number. The thing is, I'm using the exact same SIM card and it's a little unusual to have two numbers for one SIM. I then realised that iMessage is ONLY registering my iTunes e-mail address and OLD phone number as an option to 'Send and Receive at'. I have spoken to Optus (my provider in Aust.) and Apple, I have gone into an Apple store, had the phone replaced, restored newtwork settings, restored phone altogether, turned on/off iMessage and Facetime, checked date and time, made sure my correct number is listed in Settings > Phone, etc etc etc I've done EVERYTHING listed in all forums that I've read from people experiencing this same issue.
    I can choose to select my old phone number in iMessage, and can then send messages to others using iMessage from the old number, and if I switch it off, I'm then using SMS to send messages, and it's from my new number again! It's very frustrating not having all features on my phone working correctly.
    If I switch iMessages and Facetime on, not using my Apple ID to sign in, it simply says 'waiting for activation' and after a few hours, tells me it was unsucessful and to try again. I'm all out of options now, Optus don't know what to do, Apple don't know what to do and I don't know what else to do! It's been 4 days! Someone please help!?

  • Lightroom 5.7 just installed, asking for serial number, not listed in online account info

    My online account info shows serial numbers for versions 2,3, and 4 of Lightroom, but not 5.  I've been using 5.2 for about a year, since I signed up for the cc photography bundle.  My cc desktop app shows only PS cc and PS 2014 installed.  How can I get a valid serial number to activate the LR 5.7 I just installed as an update?

    I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
    I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
    Please, anyone have any ideas?

  • HT1918 How do i change the phone number on my apple ID account so i can use messaging with my Ipod Touch 4th gen?

    How do I change my phone number on my Apple ID account? Not the number for billing. I got a new Ipod touch and when I was setting it up my emails where correct but the phone number was wrong. The gentlemen at the Apple Store told me just to go on my account on my computer and change it but i cant find where. Only part i know how to change is the billing number. Thanks.

    If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
    If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

  • IPhone 4S: SMS Messages labelled by phone number not by name

    When I send an SMS message from my iPhone 4S it shows up labelled by my contact's name but when I receive a reply, it shows up as a new message labelled by their phone number. How can I fix this?

    TheDave, That's correct, I'm sending it to their phone numbers.
    I've figured something out:
    When I imported all of my 3G info in the the 4GS, all of my past text messages were labelled by phone number. I read on another post that you could fix the name/number issue by placing a 1 before the phone number. It worked. However, now when any of my contacts call or text message me their names don't display.
    I'm going to go back and take all the +1s off to see if that fixes the issue for new calls and messages. Is there anyway to get me old texts to display by name?

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

  • How do I delete a phone number (not mine) from iMessage

    Hi,
    We live in the US. Somehow an international phone number got into our iMessage account. And to top things off, somehow our personal information got replaced with name that is Chinese. I have since changed my Apple ID and password and reset it on all of our Mac hardware.
    I cannot get rid of this internaltional number from iMessage. I can delete email addresses, but not a phone number. I've tried reinstalling OS X, turing iMessage and iCould on and off. Nothing works.
    How do I delete the phone number?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    hi,
    Open a Finder window.
    Use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter (cpy and paste) ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
    Find the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and the com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and drag both to the Trash
    Restart Messages.app.
    You may find you have to reset the iMessages account but the "Aliases" should have gone.

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

    How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
    But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
    If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
    When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
    If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

    You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
    But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
    To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

    I had the same question and problems. I tried the on and off thing, didn't work. I have an iphone 4 and it too doesn't show caller ID option in the Messages settings.
    CallerID options are not in Settings> Messages. and that has nothing to do with how your messages are sent.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive at and tick your phone number.
    If you cannot see Send & Receive at, then you do not have iMessage set to On and you will only send/receive at your phone number.

  • TS3899 I am unable to access my mail account. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

    I am unable to access my mail account on my iphone, which I have been able to do previously. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

    Close the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
