Texts are coming in as icloud and not cell

When a friend receives a text from me, it comes across as (my e-mail) and not my cell #.. how do i change this setting? and the text icon is the green cloud icon correct? there isn't a separate icon for texts from your cell?

Settings > Messages > iMessage
Go to Send & Receive, and check your number is under "YOU CAN BE REACHED BY IMESSAGE AT". Also confirm "START NEW CONVERSATIONS FROM" has your phone number checked.
But, I think if people send you a text message to your iCloud adddress that's where it will go.

Sp L records are coming to the PSA and not updating in the data target

Special Ledger records are coming to the PSA and not updating in the data target in the month end and the info package is failing - because of that we are doing manual updating from PSA to the data target -
Can so one can tell the reasons why this is happening? And give the solutions to it?

Hi Sankar,
If your Infopackage uses Only PSA and Update subsequently in Data Target on the Processing tab, then you will need to add a process for Read PSA and Update Data Target in your process chain, after the Infopackage load process. Then it will take data from the PSA and load to the data target.
Hope this helps...

When I send a text to another phone, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not from phone number.

I just came over from Sprint 4 days ago and had my number ported over. When I send a text to another number, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not my phone number. For example, if the recipient of the text has me in the contacts as "Tom", the text comes to them displaying my email address instead of "Tom".

cfm007,
Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

I just bought a second iPhone for my business... I used my existing apple account and now all my texts are coming to both phones.. How do I get a secondary apple ID and change it on my business phone?

I used my existing apple ID when I purchased a second iPhone for my business.. Now all my texts are coming to both phones.. Is there a way to create a new apple account for my business phone and if so.. How do I delete one and add another?

Yes, you can have two separate Apple IDs, and it's pretty easy to set this up. Go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your business phone. You should see your current Apple ID. Tap on it, then tap on sign out. You can then create a new Apple ID, using a different email address and password than those associated with the Apple ID on your other phone. Log back in using this new information, and you shouldn't get the texts that come to your other phone.
Hope this helped!

Have you checked your sound prefs after you updated the OS? It's possible they got changed during the update.

make sure you're not signed into icloud on both devices - this is usually the cause of this issue

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

First day on iCloud and not a fan!

First day on iCloud and not a fan! ... Why isn't it working. I don't mind changes only when they are improovements, but make sure it works before you make us all switch over.

I don't have a problem here, but if you look at the latest posts here there seem quite a few who are, perhaps it's location specific, you might want to add your location to your profile and take a look at some of the other threads on this topic.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
