Why are my imessages showing up as my email adress to one of my contacts but not the others?

When I use imessage there is one contact in my phone that recieves my messages from my email address... everyone else recieves them from my number exept him. I want to be able to use my imessage without it going as my email to him.

The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
You should each have your own.
Check the settings here:
Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > remove the number that doesn't belong
This will fix the message problem but using the same Apple ID will also merge all iCloud items enabled on the device here:
Settings > iCloud
Such as:
Contacts, calendars , reminders, pjjotos, bookmarks, etc...
It can get quit messy. It is always best to use your own Apple iD if for nothing else but iCloud.

HT4539 Why I can download from iCloud on 1 iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

I can download from iCloud to one iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app? Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos. You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image. I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide). So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken. No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

I have 3 email accounts. My contacts show for the gmail but not the other two. How do I get those addresses?

I have three email accounts. My gmail contacts show on my new ipad , but not the other two. How can I get these contacts on my ipad?

The received emails should show in two locations:
1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
2. The Inbox for each mail account,
If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Why are my iMessages showing on my brothers iPad?

Why are all my iMessages that I send from my iPhone 4 to my boyfriends iPhone 4s showing on my brothers iPad? We do not share an apple ID! He can send a message from his iPad to my boyfriend and then it shows on both phones that I am the sender when I have not sent anything. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Abbey
Jon is correct, you have either signed into iCloud with the same ID on both devices or you have associated the same email address as an alias between them. Sign out of iCloud / iTunes / Appstore on both devices then sign-in seperately and that should resolve it. In the mean time, keep the messages as clean as possible.

Why are my imessages showing up on my daughter's iphone?

My daughter and I both have iphones and just updated to ios7. since the update, when either of us get a message from someone we both have on our contact list it will show up on both phones. When she sends me a text I get it and so does she. How do we change this?

The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
You should each have your own.

Why are my iMessages coming up as my email address?

So starting about 2-3 months ago, I have been sending iMessages to people from my phone whom I have sent them before and know I am an existing contact in their phone. Suddenly I started to get the same reply from most of them: "Who is this?" Of course, I identified myself and people responed "Why is it coming up as a strange email address?" I would ask if it was coming up with my apple ID, which is was.
So why is this happening? I did upgrade from a iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5, but I know that wasn't the cause, because one of them was a coworker who started long after I got my 5. I didn't do anything different that I know of, and it has happened before and after iOS 7.X. It has becoming very annoying, especially when it is to my boss, whom I usually don't text, and he hasn't added my personal email address to his contacts.
I do have an iPad Mini; however, I have messaging disabled on it.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks.

I have email on 2 pc's why is new emails showing on one but not the other

I have one email account, but have it set up on 2 computers, new ones are coming through on one computer, not not on the other one,

Are you using POP or IMAP?
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Type''' will tell you.
No menu? Press the <alt> key on your keyboard.
If POP, you must set it to leave a copy of the messages on the server, otherwise the first computer to see them gobbles them up leaving the server empty.
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Settings→Leave messages on server.
If it's IMAP, then bear in mind that if you delete a message on any one computer/phone/tablet, it vanishes on the other computers/phones/tablets.

Issues: new events show from google calendar but not the other way round

Hi,
I've just followed the instructions to the letter on these pages: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
& http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206 and looked at the known issues page, but I am still stuck.
Entries in my Google Calendar have now synced in iOS Calendar (and weekcal which I use instead of iOS Cal) - however, none of my existing entries in my iOS Cal have synced with Google Cal.
Here are the issues:
A recurring event created by someone else and me invited showed in iOS when I set this up
None of my events from iOS show in Google Calendar
New events I create in Google Calendar do not show in iOS
New events I create in iOS don't show in Google Calendar
To test, I deleted the recurring event which was the only one showing on iOS - immediately it was also deleted on iOS which indicates it is set-up to sync betweeb Google and iOS
Cannot find any information on help pages about this.

I'm not sure what else to suggest. As the Nokia 5800 is not natively supported by iSync you must be using an iSync Plugin, so I'd advise contacting the author of the plugin - it may be buggy and need fixing.

Why the error in one, but not the other

Why does this code Generate the error:
Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate
expression result
as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to
a simple
value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values,
and date/time
values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of
complex values.
The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to
use a complex
value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to
use a query
variable in a <CFIF> tag. This was possible in
ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an
error in later versions.

TS2972 Homesharing shows up on one computer but not the other one.

Homeshare shows up on my desktop but not my laptop. I can acces the laptop library from the desktop fine but the desktop does not even show up on the laptop. Both iTunes versions are the most current. I have tried turning Homeshare off and back on and closing and reopening iTunes. No luck. I have checked firewall settings. Desktop has windows vista and laptop windows 7. Any suggestions?

EDIT:
After turning homesharing on and off, closing and reopening iTunes, and waiting, it finally connected. Oddly there are two libraries showing up. Anyway, problem solved for me! If only I could delete this question now, haha.

Why are my imessages showing up as my email adress to one of my contacts but not the others?
