The iPhone comes up with an email address rather than the name after the update

Just updated my iPhone and when I now send a message it shows as my email address rather than name. What's the quick fix for this problem?

You're not being clear...
when you send a Message (iMessage/SMS) ?
or email?
Where does it show your email address?

Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
Thank you!

My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
Thank you.

Thank you!
I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

I updated my iPhone 4S weeks ago and today it said I needed to update it again, so I did. Now when I send iMessage it comes up with my email address and not my number. How do I fix this?

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Delete app and download app with your new Apple ID.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

IMessage sent from email address rather than phone number...

I'm having similar problems with my iMessage update under iOS 5. When I send text messages to other iPhone users, it appears as iMessage and from my email address rather than my phone number. I went into Settings > Messages > Receive At, but there's no option to add my phone number. It keeps showing my Apple Account, which I registered under for iMessage and iCloud with my email address. It only allows me to add another email address. From what I can tell, non-iPhone users are still receiving my text messages from my number like regular. If I turn iMessage OFF, I'm sending regular text messages to all users. Anyone have a fix yet? I'm wondering if this was an Apple goof that won't be resolved until the next iPhone update.

What I am curious about is, how do I know if what I'm sending is coming from my number as a text message or as an iMessage with my Apple ID. I'm really asking this specifically because, I have friends overseas who I have been texting..now we have iMessenger.. but how do I know it's not being sent as a text instead (therefore costing me money)? Just because it's being sent using their email?
I've used a Blackberry before, and they have their texting & BBM as two seperate applications with two seperate icons...kinda hoping Apple had done the same here :/
Any help would be great thanks

Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

Hello gmille1,
It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Answer your security questions
Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
Select your birth date, then select Next.
Answer your security questions.
Set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use email authentication
Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
Open the email and select the link to change your password.
When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Setting up iPhone 6 plus with ntlworld email address, uk

i am having trouble setting up ntlworld email address in UK, on new iPhone 6 plus for my wife.

What kind of trouble? What happens when you try? Any error messages? We need more information in order to help you.

When I try to log into iCloud the login page offers me my old email address rather than my newer one - and for which I have created a new password. I am unable to activate iCloud. Suggestions welcome.

Earlier, I changed my Apple account details to reflect my new email address. I also changed the password. iCloud seems not to 'know' this. It's service is disabled until I login in. But the default email address shown on the login page is the old email address. I can find no way of telling I cloud that I have new account details.

To change the account, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your revised credentials. If they aren't accepted, recreate the old ID at https://appleid.apple.com/ and changing the primary email address back to the old one (no need to verify the email account). Then sign out of the old ID on your Mac, providing your current password if prompted. Once you have signed out, change your ID back again, then go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in with your updated credentials.

I have iCloud setup within outlook. If I change a calendar event in oulook it is sending updates to invitees using my iCloud email address rather than my outlook work email address.

My outlook on my windows PC has mail setup already using my work email address. I have added iCloud now so my outlook calendar is always synced with my iphone. My iCloud username is my personal email address not my work email address. Problem is I just updated a meeting time in my calendar on outlook and it sent an update to my invitees using my personal email address regisetered with iCloud rather than my outlook work email address. I dont understand this as if I check my outlook sent items, I can clearly see that my updated meeting request was sent from my work email in outlook. Does iCloud automatically send updates to invitees using your iCloud username?

Same here.. My girlfriend imported her calendar in iCloud from work and iCloud has send everyone in her appointments an email. Not funny....
I'm afraid that if she is deleting her iCloud calendar everyone will get a mail that the meeting is canceled. By the way she exported her work calendar to an .ICS file which she imported in Outlook at home. Then she copied the calender (no other way) to iCloud.
Apple I love your stuff but please do not mess around with this stuff or warn people better.. You can not send everyone in someone's calendar an email without let the user decide wether she wants that or not....
Will Google further for solutions...

IMessage suddenly sending messages from email address rather than phone number

Recipients of my iMessages have reported that it has switched from being from my name/number to being from my email account. I have not changed any settings and the iphone 5 is up to date with all updates and has been restarted several times. I also went into iMessage settings and send&receive settings and tried a few things (including turning iMessage on and off, signing in and out of my account, etc), to no avail. Why is it suddenly doing this and how can it be corrected?

Hey Elfinator,
There are a few steps you can try to resolve this. First, turn iMessage off completely in Settings>Messages, and restart your device by fully powering it down, then power it back up. Once complete, turn iMessaging back on and see what happens. Again turn iMessage off, restart device, and turn iMessage back on. You'd be surprised what that can fix.
Also, if you have both your phone number AND the apple ID selected in send/receive in settings>messages, and you aren't connected to data at that moment, the iMessage from whoever is messaging you will be sent to the Apple ID only, hence why the conversation will begin using the email. This is something that is pretty common, and if you don't have a data plan, or if you turn your data off often, this will continue to happen.
Hopefully my first step will refresh the issue, resolving it!
Have a good day!

SPD Current Item URL to include web address rather than host name

Hi,
When I dcreate an SPD list workflow and include a link to the current item URL the web address gets replaced with the hostname. For example:
I expect to see:
http://mycompany.com.au/sites/corp/xxx/Lists/MyRegister/DispForm.aspx?ID=12
but we get
http://perspxxx99/sites/corp/xxx/Lists/MyRegister/DispForm.aspx?ID=12 (perspxx99
is the hostname)
If requierd I can craft the URL however wondering if there's a way to make the default point to the machine name.
Many thanks,
Marco
