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".
cfm007,
Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? 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.

My imessage texts are being sent from my email address and not my phone number.
How do I change so imessages are sent from my phone number again and not my email?
To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address. Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage. If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

When I open my email app on my iPhone, I see a message that tells me it couldn't connect to the Server, but I can send and receive emails with out any trouble.
WHy is that?Hey longboard123,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are having two separate issues:
First, regarding your phone number in iMessage for OS X, see this article:

Second, regarding your question about email on your iPhone:

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.

When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names
When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names from my contact list.
What gives?
Thanksok well I think I can confirm your theory by the fact that the few names that do show up are from PCs (where people's names are always entered in).
Generally, most people enter their name in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer, but not always. This is entirely up to the sender and is not required.
90% of everyone else on my contact list is using mobile phones where names are not used like they are on PCs or smart phones.
The very same applies to the email client used on a cell phone. I can remove my first and last name from the Name field for my email account settings, or I can enter Allan or ALLAN only and if I use ALL CAPS for my first name or for my first and last name, the name I've entered in the Name field will appear in ALL CAPS when the email is received. If I remove my name from the name field, my email address will appear only with all sent messages.
This must mean that you too must have a lot of no name emails coming in right?
Nope, because the overwhelming majority of people that send me email have their name entered in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer for accessing the account and with the email client on their smart phone. -
my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?
First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone? -
since i updated my Apple ID with correct email address I can now only send imessages to email addresses and not iphone numbers - any idea how to fix this problem ?
You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

Contacts are seeing my email address and not my name when texting.
Two to three days ago my 4s has started sending out text messages with my email instead of my phone number. It is confusing when your friends do not have your email address under their contacts and they have no idea who it is. Also, I am receiving text messages under emails instead of the contact name. Yesterday it deleted all my contacts then put them back on. We upgraded my Mac to Lion a couple of days ago and I do not know if their is any correlation. I am starting to get really aggravated.
Oh and this is what I have done:
I went to messages and it is forcing me to start new messages from my email and not my phone number.You also may have to look at your iPhone 5s too...
Settings---> Messages---> Send & Receive---> (make sure your phone number is selected) as well as the (start new convo from)
If for some reason you can't select your phone number on your phone. Follow these instructions...
Turn off iMessages.
Click Home key Sleep/Wake key at the same time until the phone reboots. About 20 seconds or so.
Return to the iMessages and turn it back on.
After that, you should be able to select your phone number.
