When I text one person, It goes to another person...however, the name that I'm trying to text shows the number i'm trying to text. Also, my texts are sent through my email...why? The text preview shows up as the person I did NOT want to text, but when I open it, it shows the person I DID want to text.

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

I just got a new iPhone 5s and iMessage is still set up through my email- why?

I previously had an iPod touch with iMessage set up through my email.
Just today, I got an iPhone 5s. I realized that I was still receiving group messages that I was previously in on my iPod.
I told my friends that I had gotten a phone and they pointed out that the messages I was sending still said that it was my email.
I went into Settings, but I couln't find anything about my iPhone being set up through email... is that even possible?
Please help! Thanks

How do I change the name that shows up for my email account . I don't want to change the email address, just my personal name that shows who the email is from.

Hi There
My apple account was in my partners name , I have now changed it to my name .
The problem is my icloud email still shows up his name at the beginning of my email address. eg Jo Blogg ( [email protected] ) .
When I open up Icloud in browser it shows in the top right my correct name , but when I go into Account settings on Mac in the Mail it shows up my
partners name as the Full Name associated with the account . It doesn't give you the option of changing that name though.
I hope I have explained this properly and someone can help ?
Cheers
Lizzeee

Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. P.S. iCloud is off.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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.

iPhone 3G has received its last iOS update. If wallpapers behind the homescreen icons is such an important feature for you, you'll need a newer model iPhone.

AirDrop works fine, but the name that comes up on both my mini ipad and iPhone 5 is Selena Gomez. Why? Idk... I checked my phone name in settings and it comes up as MY name. What's going on?

All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.

I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then the screen goes black, and "sleep" light pulses.

I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then goes black. The sleep light pulses. From there, I can't turn it off normally. I have tried restarting the PMU. And I have tried unplugging the ac adaptor and removing the battery. From there I have plugged only the ac adaptor in, and it will begin to start but do the same thing once it shows the blue screen.
I tried only using the battery (without plugging in the ac adaptor) and the same thing happens. I tried starting the computer while holding down CTRL, Option, P, and R, waiting to hear the start up chimes 3 times, and then holding Shift as it starts up. But I still get the black screen once I see the blue one, and the computer's sleep light pulses.
I need something very important from this computer. And was able to start it last night. I did not shut down the computer, and was going to take it to a friends to use his printer today. The computer was in sleep mode in the morning.
Thanks for any help!
Gina

What your describing could be a logic board or memory issue.
You did or did not hear 3 startup chimes? If you hear 3 chimes when you start it, that would indicate a memory problem. Try reseating the memory to see if that makes a difference. If you have 2 RAM cards, try one then the other in each slot. If you have 1 RAM card, move it to the other slot. Powerbooks can develop one bad slot.
You may need to pull the hard drive out of the Powerbook, put it into an external case, then read it from another mac.

How do I change the name that is displayed as one of the main folders on finder?

I cannot figure out how to change the name that is displayed as one of the folders (in the red circles in the picture). It currently has my dad's name because he set up the computer but he does not use it and I wanted to try and change the name to my own. I have tried system-preferences/users-&-groups and made changed the admin to my own name but that did not change the folder name. And when I clicked the "unlock to make changes" on the folder menu (left window in the picture) it did not allow me to change the name. Any ideas?

That is your admin account on the computer. Simple solution:
Create a new admin user account to your liking. Log into that new account then delete the old account.

How do u change the name that my email is sent in

How do I change the name that appears on the emails I send?

My full name is in my Contacts, and includes all my e-mail accounts. I have a Yahoo account that I use for online purchases, and I've set my Yahoo account on my iPhone to only include my initials. When I send a message from my Yahoo account to another account (even my own, which is in my Contacts) it comes in with just my initials.
My main e-mail is a GMail account set up as Exchnage, but I have another GMail account set up as a "regular" GMail account on my iPhone. That behaves just as my Yahoo account does, though I don't know how other account types behave.

HT1349 My apple ID is different than the name that appears on my emails.

Can someone please help? I cannot figure out how to change my email name (not the address but the name that appears when my email is received). Can anyone guide me on how to change the profile name for my email?
The basic issue is:
     Apple ID:                     JohnDoe
     Email Address:            [email protected]
     Name in From Field:     SusanDoe
When I draft an email there is a box to pick the "from" address and my options are:
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
     Susan Doe <[email protected]>
People who receive my emails think they are coming from my wife...yes, Susan Doe is my wife. I am positng this in iPhone but, it happens no matter where I send an email from.

It sounds like it has to do with how you set up your email account, since it happens with other devices than your phone. Check your email account settings on your computer.

How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.
