Make sure the receipient(s) have you in their Contact app with that email address and your name.

Why does my iPad send photos from my old email address when I changed my email address on my iPad apple ID?
Emails are normally sent through your regular email account. You'll need to change the preferred account used by Mail on your iPad.

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.

I have just updated my iphone to iso 7.0.2 on my wifes i tunes on her computer,now when i send a message to people they get my email address come up and when i need to update apps it asks for her apple id... any help please????
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.
iPadI could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck! -
I recently had to erase my IPhone 5S, and now it's been restored, and when I text, it shows my messages coming from my email address rather than from my phone # or my name, like they used to be shown. How can I change this setting back to the way it was? Thanks

It doesn't offer me "start new conversations from".
I presume you can see "You can be reached at ...", so do you only see your email there? (i.e. no phone number?) If so, then the "send from" may not be an option since your iPhone only has one point of contact, your email.
If you don't see your phone number under "You can be reached at ..." then sign out of iMessage and FaceTime, then send a text message to any non-iOS friend you know, then sign back into iMessage and FaceTime. That may re-establish your phone number with Apple's servers. -
If I send an imessage from my phone on my email address, will it come up on my phone bill?
if i send an imessage from my email adress instead of my phone number on my iphone, will the text come up on the phone bill ?
Not if it is truly an iMessage - to/from another Apple device using the iMessage technology.
If it is an SMS or MMS message, that is a cellular text message, and yes, it would show up as part of your cellular carrier's service. -

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?My wife's phone has been having this problem for a while - both on her iPhone 5, and on her new iPhone 6.

When I send an imessage with wifi it sends it from the original number I got with the phone before I ported my number over. When I send an imessage on the network it comes from my own ported number. How do I change the imessage so that it comes from my own ported number?
Yeah send it from your phone.
Your computer has no knowledge of your phones phone number, it is not a phone. -
when i send a imessage it sends it from the number that was on the sim before i transfered my number how do i change it to my number?
ive tried to change it in message settings but the number is grey so im unable to de-select it ?
any ideas?
cheers DanHello joinerdan,
It sounds like you are unable to change the phone number that Messages is sending messages from because it is grayed out. I recommend the steps outlined in the following article named:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

When i send a imessage the reciever see's it as sent from my email adress why and how do i change
when i send a imessage the reciever see's it as it was sent from my email adress rather than my phone number, why, and how do i stop this?
settings -> messages-> receive at-> caller ID -> [choose your phone number]
The advantage of using your email address is so that imessages sync across your icloud devices. But if the only apple device you have is an iphone, then your phone number would be the obvious choice to pick here.
Once ios6 comes out, this situation won't matter (they're fixing the sync of imessages across devices) -
Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At
