Why are my sent iMessages coming up under my email?

Hello!
So, anytime I send a message to another iMessage user, they're saying it comes up under my email and not my name saved in their phone. Any idea why? and how could I change that back?

Hi.
On the Mac open Messages > Preferences> Accounts > iMessages account and change the Start Conversation From drop down.
On the iPhone > Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and change the ID is question.

  • Why are my exported files not going to me email?  I have used 3 different ones.

    Why are my exported files not going to my email (receipts & business card)?  I have used 3 different ones...2 yahoo and 1 hotmail.  I have checked spam box also.

    For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send.  For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send.  I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

    You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free.  It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

  • Why are names in iMessages on mac highlighted in red

    Why are the contact names highlighted in RED on my mac iMessage

    The names on iMessage are highlighted in red because that phone number is not registered with iMessage. Either they don't have an iPhone, or they haven't set up iMessage.

  • Why are people telling me I'm sending Blank emails?

    Lately I've been getting lots of replies to my emails that say: Did you intend to communicate something? The message you sent was blank.
    Sometimes I've forwarded, sometimes I replied to something I was sent, sometimes it's an original email.. and it doesn't ALWAYS happen. Any ideas why?
    Any assistance appreciated..
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I have a similar problem:
    I have two e-mail account providers, one of which is dotmac. In addition to my own dotmac account I have purchased an additional email account for a friend of mine who has an Apple laptop but is not too computer savvy.
    I run OSX 10.4.4, he runs 10.3.9
    As part of iChat and dotmac in Tiger, I get the facility of generating a Public Key encryption 'thing' which enables two Tiger users to iChat securely. The generation of this key also appears to enable a 'Security' option, in that all my emails sent from the dotmac account have the option of being 'Digitally Signed' i.e. verifiably sent from my computer and not spoofed. If the receiving person to whom I send an email also has a Public Key then our email communications can be encrypted so that no one can read the communication if it is intercepted.
    The long and short of it is that when I send a digitally signed email to other people, all is fine EXCEPT my friend who has a dotmac email account subsidiary to mine. The content of the email is blank.
    The workaround is to make sure I do NOT digitally sign emails to this friend. Whether it is because he uses an account subsidiary to mine, or doesn't use Tiger, I don't know.
    If anyone can elucidate further I'd be most happy.

  • 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.

  • Why are my sent texts and imessages disappearing from my feed once i hit the send button?

    This happens when I send the text or iMessage!

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    5. If you've created subfolders of any Exchange mailbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. For best results, a mailbox should have no subfolders.
    6. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    7. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

  • Inserting photos into emails. Why are they sent vertical instead of horizontal?

    Please tell me why photos inserted into emails as hrorizontal are sent/received by recipient as vertical?  How can this be sent/received as constructed?

    Sending photos as a PDF defeats the purpose of inserting viewable photos in the body of a mail message.  Any suggestions to make it look as created when sent/received?  Thank you for the discussion.
    There is absolutely nothing you can do to in an email that will positively ensure the recipient sees it as you wish.
    Since it is an auto-rotation issue, you might try exporting the photos first. That may eliminate the rotation metadata.

  • Why are my sent items not stored when sending from Apple Mail?

    Hello Apple Support Communities,
    I am Using an iMac at my place of employment. It is running OSX Yosemite v10.10.2 . I am also using Apple Mail to connect to our Exchange 2010 Server. I do the same with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop using Outlook 2013. For a while now, several months in fact, It turns out that any emails sent from my iMac using Apple mail will not store a copy of it in my sent items on the server. They are not stored in the iMac account, the iPhone, the iPad, or Outlook on my Windows Laptop. However, any email sent from the other devices will have a copy stored in the sent items folder and it will propagate to all of my devices.
    Upon investigating, I found myself looking through the tracking logs of my Exchange Server and found that Apple Mail and the iPhone send messages completely differently. I think this might be the source of my problem, but I have no clue whether I can fix it, or even where to start. Here is an image depicting the logs. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

  • Why are my photos in events and under 'recent' in the named folder I've created?

    I've imported a load of pics, and they automatically put themselves by date in 'events'. But I want them all in one folder, which I've created and appears under 'recent'. I put them all in the folder I've made but when I deleted them from 'Events' it deleted everything, including those in the folder. Please help! Thanks.

    iPhoto is broadly similar to iTunes in this way: In iTunes, every track is in the Library, each playlist is a subset of the Library.
    In iPhoto, all the images are in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library.
    Events is one view of the Library. Photos is another view of the same material.
    BTW: Photos will give you the view you want.

  • Why are these SQL Exceptions coming?

    I have developed a web based application in which I am experiencing two exceptions coming after a periodic time.
    1)Exception : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
    2)Exception : java.sql.SQLException: The url cannot be null
    The applications works fine when the webserver is restarted. What can be the probable reasons for these exceptions?

    Wrong forum... JDBC Forum: http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=48
    1)Exception : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceededYou are not closing ur statments / prepared statments / callable statments after use.

  • Why are MobileMe Sent messages not showing in Mail?

    On one Intel iMac, messages sent do not show up on the other Intel iMac, both running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  This just started happening recently.  Also, although there are a few thousand messages in the Sent Mailbox in MobileMe,, only 300+ appear in the Sent Mailbox on that first iMac.  Rebuilding the mailbox has no effect.  Any ideas?

    What type of email accounts are they? IMAP or POP.
    IMAP leaves messages on the server so you can get them from everywhere.
    With POP, messages are downloaded to your client and then removed from the server, depending on your settings.
    The iDevice setup for POP doesn't remove them from the server.
    I think Mail's default setup for POP is to remove immediately.
    If they are POP accounts, you can set Mail's preferences to leave messages on the server for a period of time so that you can retrieve them on multiple clients.
