When I send a text a icloud email address shows instead of my name?

When I send a text to people and icloud email address shows up instead of just my name.  Where in the settings do I go to stop that from happening?

Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.  Make sure you are signed in with your Apple ID and that you phone number appears under "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start new conversations from".  Then tap your phone number under "Start new conversations from" so it is checked.

    when i send a text via icloud my e-mail address is sent at the same time instead of the reciever getting my number or if i am in their phonebook they should get my name

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Check your settings> messages and see if iMessages is turned on and if so how many 'receive at' addresses you are using, it may well be that your email address is entered as one of these addresses.

    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
    (I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
    Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

  • 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".

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.

  • When I send a text to my email, my wifes phone recives it as an iMessage.

    After setting up all 3 of our iPhone 3GS phones on iCloud so we could us ehte find my phone feature an anoying thing happened.  When I send a text message to my email address my son's phone and my wifes phone recive that message as a text message.  Also when she texts me I recive it as if it is coming from my email address.  I went threw my contacts any my email is not associated with her contact.
    After a trip to the apple store we found out that suposedly it was because we all share the same iTunes account.  So I created an apple ID for my wife and my son and set the iCloud to use thier respective accounts.  It appears that my sons phone does have the issue anymore but my wife and my phone still have the issue.
    A side note, my Son's phone when plugged into the computer (windows 7) pops up labled his phone.  When my phone or my wifes phone is plugged in it just says Apple iPhone.  It doesn't show our iPhones name.  iTunes does show the proper name though.
    This is a very anoying thing and I would love to get it resolved with out having to go back to the apple store.

  • When I send a picture to my email address, it doesn't appear on my email.

    I have the iPhone 4 (model# MD655LL/A). When I send a picture from my phone to my email address (which I have done before, successfully), the email doesn't get to me. Why is this happening?

    Use different Apple IDs on both phones under Settings > Messages, Settings > Facetime, and Settings > iCloud.  The only place you should use the same Apple ID, if at all, is under Settings > iTunes & App Stores.

  • How to get siri to send a text to an email address and not the iphone number?

    Better worded this time.  Siri sends texts using a contact iphone number if they have one.  I want it to send to the contacts email address (or apple id).  if no iphone is present for a contact siri asks me which address i want to use. if there is an iphone listed for the contact it defaults to that phone number.  I don't want it to do that.  I want siri to always use the email address.  Can that be done?

    If you wrote your database send mail package to support different MIME Types, then you need to change the MIME Type to HTML before you add the HTML tags to your email message body. Check out this article (Sending Email from the database with UTL_SMTP package) and look at the "maildemo.sql" package provided in the article. This package will show you how to set the MIME Type to support HTML message bodies.
    Hope this helps,

  • When I send a text with iMessage it now shows up on others devises as coming from my email, how do I change this?

    How can I resolve this issue?

  • I have changed email address and this new address is now my new apple id.When advised to update apps,my old email address shows and s when I insert my password the update is declined.How can I change this please.

    Please answer my question.Thanks

    You question is a little Confusing...
    Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
    If so...
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
    If not..
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

  • How to send ical invites from another email address than the iCloud address

    Hi everyone,
    I have set up my calendars in ical to work with icloud and everything is going great.
    The problem i have is that when i invite someone to a meeting or reply to a meeting invite the invitation is send from my iCloud email address. Instead i want the invitation or reply to be send my business email account.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to select which account the invtiations are sent from?
    Thanks

    1. I didn't replace my [email protected] login with my [email protected] email. I only changed my email information to my [email protected] email. I still login with [email protected]
    2. The me card in both my local address book and the addressbook on iCloud only contains my [email protected] email.
    From what I've read in other threads, changing the apple id email means deleting my iCloud account and starting over with a new login email. Apple officially says that it's not possible. But others seem to have succeed with it.
    Do you know of any other solution?

  • Already registered iCloud email address

    Hello,
    When I try to create an iCloud email address on my iPhone, it says it's already being used. But If I send an email to that address, I get a "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" with the message "The error that the other server returned was: 550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown". I think nobody is using that username and the thing is I registered a trial .mac address a few years ago with the same username. How do I take control of that username to use it with a new iCloud address?
    Thanks in advance.

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Cheers!

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.
