Phone number not showing up in imessage and FaceTime on ipad or mac mini

I have the ipad, Iphone, and a mac mini. I am confused as to why my phone number is not showing up in imessage and facetime  on my mac mini and ipad. I had it set up but for some reason it is not working now, it just shows my apple sign in email address. How can I fix this?

Hi, sarahr1987. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is a troubleshooting resources I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • Why is my phone number not showing up in iMessage?

    I have a MacBook running 10.8.2 and iMessage does not have my iPhone number as part of the account.  I'd like iMessages sent to my iPhone to also show up in iMessage on my MacBook.  How do I get my phone number to show up in my Apple account on my MacBook?
    I tried logging out of my Apple account on my MacBook, then logging out of the same account on iPhone, then disabling iMessage on iPhone, then enabling iMessage on iPhone and logging back into the Apple account, then logging back into the Apple account on my MacBook.  That didn't bring my phone number into iMessage on my MacBook.

    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.

  • Phone number not showing up in Imessage

    I use to be able to send receive messages with my Ipad using my phone number instead of my email. Now the phone number isn't even listed anymore. Everything on my Iphone is fine. All my id's are listed on that device. I have done a hard reset on both devices. When I go into setting-imessage-send receive. I only have 1 email listed. Any suggestions on what else to do? I have seen other discussions on this subjet. Many talk about caller Id but I don't see that in my options.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. I had to add one more step to your suggestion. First time around it didn't work. Second time I decided to turn off my wifi and run only on the cell network. That seems to have helped.
    Once again thanks for your help

  • I phone 4s not showing up in itunes  and not charging also

    i phone 4s not showing up in itunes and is not charging alson when u plug usb cable in computer

    it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.

  • HT204053 How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on.  If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out.  Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct.  Then sign in on your iPad.

  • MY phone number not showing above phone keypad

    When I was at the Apple Store tonight, buying my new phone, Mr. Orange Shirt did something so that MY phone number would show above the phone keypad. It's gone now and I'm not sure what I did. It's a new number, and I liked having it so accessible.
    Help! How do I get it back?

    The number that shows above the keypad is the number you dial. Your own number will show at the top of the contacts list. A quick way to get to the top of the list is to tap the top bar where the time is shown.

  • Apple id for kids not logging in to imessage and facetime

    I created a new apple id for my child and added it to my family sharing.
    I have used the apple id to successfully login to icloud and the itunes store on the ipod.
    But it keeps rejecting the same account for imessage and facetime - error message is to check my network connection.
    Has anyone got a solution for this?
    Marina

    I had similar problem, and tried everything mentioned in the forums to fix it.  Then, randomly, I tried to send an imessage from my iphone to my daughter (who ONLY has imessage through her email, and therefore NO cellular option to receive) and Bingo- a box popped up asking me to sign in to my Apple account. Then it worked fine for everyone.  I don't know why it didn't think I was signed in, because I had signed in everywhere-  but that was the fix.

  • New iPhone phone number not showing in iTunes

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 5s today and after syncing my iTunes content from iTunes to the new phone I've noticed that my new phone numer isn't showing like it did with the 3GS. The phone itself is showing up ok, as is my music content and apps,  but the phone number isn't. Its not a big deal but I thought I'd ask all the same as it might help someone in the future.
    Thanks.

    This happened to me also.. Got me concerned when I didn't see my number in iTunes.. After a couple days (could have been less, I didn't notice) it appeared again. It was working fine so I didn't really mind. I don't think though that it has anything to do with the VM seeing as my VM had been working fine when I noticed the number missing.
    Anyway, it works now so...

  • How to register the phone number of my friends to imessage,and i able to contact them or call them?

    I buy my ipad in qatar duty free i mean ipad4 wifi +cellular i thought i can use it for text or call by means of phone number only but im dissapoint when i used it and found out that i have to register all numbers to imessage and i cannot find how to register it.please help me to solve this matter.

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • My iphone 5 is not showing in my devices and wont sync with my mac

    I have a new iphone 5 it is up and working but when plugged into my mac doesn't show up in devices and will not sync

    The iPhone 5 with iOS 6.x requires iTunes 10.7 or higher. iTunes 11.0.1 is the current version of iTunes. If you have an earlier version of iTunes you'll need to update iTunes before you can sync.
    The latest versions of iTunes requires OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later on your Mac. If you are running a version of OSX prior to 10.6.8 you'll need to update the OSX first.

  • [SOLVED] iMessage and Facetime Authentication - iPad 2 Retina

    Just a quick note on how I got Imessage and Face time Authentication to work after the issues started in late January:
    Update to 8.1.3 that is supposed to fix issue, after update problem still exists.
    Reset password for account used with Imessage/Facetime
    Backup iPad via iTunes
    Wipe iPad to clean slate
    Sign into new iPad with same account settings and sign in to Imessage and Face time, should work with new password
    Restore iPad from backup
    Problem solved.
