When I iMessage on my iPad my email pops up, how do I change that?

How do I hide my email in my iMessages

Assuming you have an iPhone and you are signed in to Messages with your Apple ID:
Settings > Messages > Sed & Recieve > Start New Conversations From > set your number
Otherwise, there will be no phone number linked to your account and iPad will use your email.

  • All devices are getting my emails and texts, How do I change that?

    I have a few apple products. I updated to iO6 and all my devices are getting my emails.How do I change that?

    Jerry,
    Thanks for the info, but I did not see a circle in the upper left corner nor a paint brush to select format inspector.  I did open inspector by clicking on the blue circle with the "i" in it and then clicked on "T" for text but I did not see any font settings.  What is happening is that when I type text or numbers in a cell I see a random set of symbols in the cell, but in the bar above the table I see the correct text or numbers.  I looked at some other solutions for default fonts and the response was that there is no way to change the default font.  Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • Change Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID email to a new one but iCloud continues to prompt me for a password with my old email address. How do I change that? It won't let me even delete or access iCloud without a password for the old Apple ID.

    When I got the iPhone about 4 weeks ago, I used an email for the apple ID and set it all up. Then I changed my Apple ID but now iCloud constantly prompts me with my old apple ID. How do I change this? I cannot make any changes to all the things I downloaded with the old Apple ID. I just updated my software to iOS7. I'm not sure if that changes anything (I am very new to the iPhone)

    I had this problem for a while but i finally found a way that worked for me.
    My old icloud account asked me for the password that i didnt have. And my old email was not registered as a valid appleid.
    So i created a new apple id with my old email and a new password. Signed in no problems and then i could finally delete the old icloud account and sign in with my real one.
    Hope this works for you

  • Email Body Message - How do you change that?

    The form I am creating is being submitted via email. The email address the form is going to is determined by a drop downlist. To do this I am using the fake email button option (based on Pauls "Email Options" directions). I would like to change the email body message to say something different from the subject line and the standard Adobe message "The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data."
    if (DropDownList1.rawValue != null){
              RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue + "?subject=Mobile Device Request" + "?body=Testing";
              //app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
              RealEmail.execEvent("click");
    } else {
              app.alert("Please select a Director from the dropdown!");
    When ever I add the " ?body=Testing" to the scrip, it just adds it to the suject line and then the body changes to this:
    Mobile Device Request?body=Testing
    The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
    What do I need to do to separate the subject line from the body of the message and change the message?

    Hi,
    The file does not appear to be there, but I thought the mailto syntax was a starting '?' and then in was '&' for each parameter.
    Using your example
              RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue + "?subject=Mobile Device Request" + "?body=Testing";
    I think this should work if it is changed to
      RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue + "?subject=Mobile Device Request" + "&body=Testing";
    (please note I haven't checked this, just a from the top of the head idea)
    Hope this helps

  • My Contacts are already synced with my email accounts. How do I change that?

    Every time I added a contact my phone synced it with one of the email accounts on my Torch 9800. I want this to stop and I want to set my old contacts apart from my emails. How do I do this?
    The problem actually increased when my gmail stopped working and when I deleted it and reinstalled it, I lost all the contacts saved on it. I don't want this to happen again.

    Hi mhindawy,
    You can disable the wireless synchronization between your email account and the contacts on your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 smartphone by opening the Contacts folder on your BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone, pressing the Menu key, selecting the contact list with the name of your email account, and unchecking the Wireless Synchronization checkbox. After doing this, any changes you make in your BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone Contacts will not be synchronized to your email account and vice versa.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I open calendar, it shows 1am and on.  How do I change that?

    I have set my preferences in calendar to have my day be 8am to 6pm and show 10 hours, and the week run Sun through Sat.
    Each time I open calendar, while those perimeters area present (the 8am to 6pm time frame shows by the grid lines being very faint before and after those 10 hours) the calendar opens with 1am as the time at the top of the page.  There is a red line, lower down, across the page indicating the current time.  However, I have to scroll down to see the day.  What setting do I use, or how do I adjust it so it opens at either the 8am start of my day or the current time if that is the only other choice?  This is a setting I'm used to in my gmail calendar which I use in conjunction with Calendar and I miss the ease of use this gives me, especially when I  am multitasking.
    Thanks for your help,
    Michelle

    Thank you for your advise. While your remedy does work to that end, i usually have my browser set to partial window rather than full screen, so I'd have to make an adjustment that way too. It used to come up into the partial screen, but now drops to the task bar upon opening. Or it opens full screen, if i set it to full screen before closing out my browser. I'm looking to have it open to partial screen like it used to. Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time, i appreciate it.

  • When I print on Adobe, it prints in another language, how can I change that to print in English?

    How can I print everything to English?

    If the pdf is in a given language, then Reader cannot change the language. If the pdf is in one language and appears changed when you print it, then there could be an issue with your Printer driver, your OS, or your pdf. You can try to print as an image as a temporary work around.

    Pick the entire drive>Get Info>Make sure you have read&write privledges and, of course, have added yourself. Either that, or pick all the files, and, once again, "Get info." You should be able to do this for a large group, not just file by file.

  • I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. 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.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. 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.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

    I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

    When I attempt to download an app my email address isn't there, the other ipad users is there.  How do I change the email address so I can enter my password?

    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores
    At the top of the window you will see the Apple ID that the iPad is using. To change that tap on the ID and then tap on Sign Out. Then sign in with the correct ID.
    Not really a good idea to be using two different Apple IDs on a single iPad.
