  • IMessage sending from my email?

    I recently switched to an iPhone 6 (from a 4s) and ever since, if I text someone else with an iPhone it generally pops up on their phone as my email address, not my cell phone number. Anyone know why and how to change it?

    It has always been this way.  The iPhone can use its phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. But other idevices have to use their Apple ID. 
    You can change to just your phone number in settings, iMessage, send and recieive.

  • Why won't iMessage send from my iPad to a contact who has an iPhone and uses iMessage on her iPhone?

    Sometimes when I'm using my iPad and I want to send a message via iMessage it won't let me. This happens even when I know that the recipient has an iPhone and uses the iMessage app on her iPhone. Why is that? I can use iMessage from my iPhone and it will go to her iPhone. Why can't it work from my iPad.?

  • Why is my iMessage going from its email not the mobile number any more?

    MMy imessage you to be sent from my mobile number on both my ipad and my iPhone although for some reason I'm getting losds of people texting me back asking who it is texting them as it's now being sent from my email address which is very very annoying! Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can change it back to the mobile number?
    i Have gone on settings and the. Messages gone down to Imessage and it says (start a new convocation from) and my mobile number is there greyed out but still tick and none of my email address are ticked so I'm very confused to why it's doing this.

    thanks. i tried that and my number was already selected, ive signed out of apple ID for now. i just dont understand as ive always been signed in to my apple ID lol

  • IMessage sends from different email addresses

    iMessage sends messages from different email addresses when it used to just say my name associated with my cell number. How can I change it back?

    Try this:
    Sign out of iMessage on all devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until it is completely activated. Then, sign back in on the other devices using the same Apple ID.

  • Why are my iMessages sent from iOS (6.0) and OSX (10.8.2) being received in two different dialog boxes?

    I'm trying to unify my iMessages sent from my iPhone 4S and my rMBP. iMessages I send from my iPhone to my friend's iPhone is in one window, and if I send another from messages on my rMBP it is sent to a different contact box on my friend's phone.
    Is there any way to fix this, I've been trying different combinations of caller id settings on both and I'm so confused.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Tubby

    ..I just find it strange that Oracle doesn't cache these blocks for me by replacing some of the aged blocks in the cache.
    Flushing the buffer_cache seems to have the desired effect, as it does then get cached.

  • Why are Images ocassionally stripped from outgoing emails?

    Ocassionally, images in outgoing emails are stripped, leaving only an empty box with a small red 'x' in the corner. How do I fix this?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

    No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it.  Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot?  Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

  • Why are my iMessage timestamps from the future?

    Like this:
    Notice how the timestamp is the same for two messages that were not sent at the same time. This is clear by looking at sent message time stamps.

    I'm very intrigued about this as well. Especially since I'm in Cupertino's time zone.

  • Imessage sending from email not phone number, why!?

    I use imessage from my macbook, ipad and iphone and have selected my phone number to start new messages, through this Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive but still my messages send from my email.
    Any thoughts on what I can do?

    When I turn back on all devices, where it says "you can be reached by imessage at" both my phone number and apple id email are checked, but only phone number for "start conversations from"
    If I uncheck my email from  the "you can be reached by imessage" section it sends only from my phone number via iphone and ipad (yay!) but I can not log back in to my messaging on my computer now...
    Does my email need to be selected in order for me to do this?

    Because you have it set that way.

    Change to your phone number.

  • My imessages are only sending from my email address?

    When I send iMessages they always send from my email addess attached to my apple id rather than my phone number.
    When I go to Settings>Messages>Send & Recieve my phone number is in grey and I can't select i!
    Please help!

    Hello gomoll,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to start a new conversation from a phone number and not an email address. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    The greyed out phone number is under how you can be reached.
    When you start a conversation is another option you can change.

    The telephone number will be dimmed when you view these settings on an iPhone.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
