TS4268 Missing Phone Number at "Start new conversations from"

How come there is missing of the phone number at the "Start new conversations from:" inside Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive" and only have the e-mail address but both of the phone number and e-mail address under "You can be reached by iMessage at:", please advise how to add it back ?

Yes, I have solved it. You could try to go from Settings -> Messages, turn the iMessage from ON to OFF, then you switch off your iphone and turn it on; go back to Settings -> Messages, change the iMessage from OFF to ON, then switch off your iphone and turn it back on, go to check whether you could see or add back the phone number assoicated with the iMessage. Good Luck !

IMessage: "Start New Conversations From" setting is ignored

In my iMessage settings, I have the option set to start new conversations from my email address instead of my phone number. I don't want anyone having my phone number, so this is a VITAL feature for me.
The problem is that the setting is IGNORED! New conversations are in fact coming from my phone number. I have tried changing the setting back and forth, even wiped my phone and started from scratch, and still, new conversations come from my phone number instead of my email address.
How can I get iMessage to acknowledge the setting and start new conversations from my email address?
Thanks!

This worked for me. Turn off iMessage in Settings---> Messages. Then turn off iPhone. Restart iPhone then turn iMessage back on. The phone number should reappear.

HT5538 If there is no "start new conversations from", what's wrong then? What should I do?

I'm getting really tired of chat with my friends from my email, and I can't choose my number in "send and receive". There is no "start new conversations from"
please help me, i've tried everything

I would turn imessage off, then
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
After that I would turn imessage back on and try to set it like you want. Make sure you have yourself correctly entere in the contacts app, make sure you have your phone number entered in settings/phone/my number and in have your information entered in settings/general/siri under my info

Messages - missing 'Start New Conversations From'

Have an iPhone 4 that I am attempting to use without cellular service.
Am able to use Facetime but am having a problem with Messages.
In the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive the phone does not display the 'Start New Conversations From' section.
I am unable to send from Messages. I assume these two items are related.
I've tried resetting the phone, using a different apple id / icloud account, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
TIA

This worked for me. Turn off iMessage in Settings---> Messages. Then turn off iPhone. Restart iPhone then turn iMessage back on. The phone number should reappear.

Imessage sends messages from email despite selecting phone number for "start new conversations from"

On both my phone and my computer I have selected to start new conversations from my phone number, but just now I continued a conversation from my macbook and it sent it from my email address instead of my phone number! All the other answers I found for this question were outdated, I couldn't find "Caller ID" in settings for iOS 8 or Yosemite.

If this is a continuing conversation, I don't believe the device looks at it as a new conversation, which is what that setting is for, from what I understand. If there is a checkmark by the phone number on all devices, then it should start there, but if the conversation was originally started from the email, I believe it will continue until you start a new conversation.

IMessage randomly starts new conversation from email address

My wife's phone has been having this problem for a while - both on her iPhone 5, and on her new iPhone 6.
In the settings for iMessage, it says she can be reached by iMessage at ___, and then lists her Verizon cellular number, and her iCloud email address. Under "start new conversations from" it lists her Verizon cellular number, and her iCloud email address, with the phone numbering having a check mark.
The issue: some iMessages she sends me will be from her phone number, and some from her email address. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to where the iMessage originates. The only clue I can decipher is it appears that when she sends photos, it might be coming through her email address, but I can say that's for certain.
Any idea what the cause is?

How can I add a phone number to my iPod touch to start new conversation from another number

How can I add a phone number to my start new conversation

Hello brentfrommt. washington
To add a phone number to your iMessage account, you need to have an iPhone with your phone number on it. Once you sign into iMessage the iPhone it will link to all your devices with that Apple ID. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My iMessage won't send from my phone number. My number isn't listen under "send and receive at", only my email. There also is no "start new conversations from" option.

Ive tried everything I've read but they all are either not up to date or don't help my situation

How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

I bought a new, faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer. It has only found 4,000 pix. I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my pix with it. PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not separate family from friends etc. I can't even find my projects.
I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
Help. I am so frustrated. I am pretty sure before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files. When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and 12. I tried to go back and edit,
but couldn't figure out how. Sorry, typing errorC.

IMessage - "new conversations from" ios 7 iMessage backups

Hi, So I'm having two issues at the moment but I'll start with the "new conversations" issue. I just upgraded to the 5S and did a iTunes restore on the phone, restored using my backup and then activated iMessage which took a few hours before it actually happened. Any time I try and start a new conversation from my mobile (cell) number, iMessage automatically sends it as a standard SMS message (green) and not as a blue iMessage but when I start the conversation from an email address, iMessage works as normal but from "Messages" on my Macbook, I can send from my mobile number just fine so I'm not sure what's wrong.
The second issue I'm having is that on my Mac, I have way more messages from one of my contacts, they go back quite a while but on my iphone they only go back as far as start of September. Any way how I can get iMessage on my Mac to force sync to my iphone and reload all my messages?
Regards,
Michael

bump. first issue resolved, second I'm still experiencing issues with.
