Why are people recieving my messages from my e-mail instead of just my name in their contact book?

When I send someone a message on iMessage, on their phone the name comes up as my email address instead of my name in their contact list, and it is seperate from the message that they sent me via imessage. How can I fix this?

Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
What is selected as your iMessage Caller ID?
Is the email address selected for your Caller ID available as an email address for your contact info in the recipient's Contacts?

  • Why are people asking for certain model numbers

    why are people asking question such as this ? Hi I was wondering if you could send me the model number of this item I am looking for a specific Model and want to make sure before I bid. The model I'm looking for is G3 the model number will start like this CGN5

    Go to this link and you will see that WRT54G/GS models from version 1 to version 5 are diferent if you look at the amount of RAM and Flash they contain.
    More RAM and Flash is better of course.

    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.

    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.

  • Why are people so crazy about XML publisher?

    Why are people so crazy about XML publisher? Maybe there are things I am not aware of, but with the exception of adding the ability to export to Excel from EBS, or having a template for a letter in which a few things will change from copy to copy, I don't see a huge advantage to using it.
    Reports is such a powerful tool and creates so much flexibility in creating graphical documents. Things that are so easy to do in reports, from my experience, is extremely difficult to impossible in XML publisher. In publisher, you have to do a lot of logic yourself that reports would do for you just by saying Yes or No to a property.
    When I first learned about XML publisher, I was really excited about learning to use it. But when I saw how difficult it is to do simple tasks, and how much you have to reinvent the wheel, I became really disappointed. There are lots of examples on the web about how to do this or how to do that with it, but honestly they seem to show you how to go to a lot of trouble to accomplish something that is easy in reports.
    People seem to want to avoid bitmapped reports like the plague, but I think they are extremely underrated.
    What do you guys think? Am I missing something? I would like to hear other opinions and perspectives.
    Thanks,
    Kurz

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • Why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.
