You are getting iMessages, and they are going to your Apple ID email. Check the settings on your phone to see what you have checked for Send and Receive from, and then also check start conversation from. If you are sending from your Apple ID, this is what your friends are sending to.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Why do I get a message that my computer is "not authorized" to play some iTune files, but when I authorize it I'm told it's already authorized????

I get a message that my new computer is not "authorized" to play certain files - music, videos,- in iTunes, but when I go to the screen to authorize it, I'm told it's already authorized.

It's corrupt. Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Why do I get the message "Firebox already running but not responding"? I have to then restart the computer to get on the internet again.

I go on the internet, the web site works, but then maybe when I try to go to another web site I get a message saying that Firefox is already running, but not responding and I need to close it or restart my computer. I do not know where to go to close that site so have to restart the computer!

this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
did you move or delete files in the finder ?
I cannot locate the song.
if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have just purchased a new pc and when I try to play 2 separate albums that I bought from the itunes store I get a message that my computer is not authorized. I then follow the steps to authorize it and the same thing happens when I attempt to play this

Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
Thank you,
mike

Hi, ImTiffanyA.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

Why can i send text messages to one person, but cant get one back?

why can I send a text message to one person, but cant get one back?

Do you have that person blocked? Set to Do Not Disturb (Open the conversation thread, tap Details in the upper right, check that DND is set to Off)?

How do i get texts messages on my computer

I have an iPhone 5 and would like to be able to get my text messages on my computer. In this case I left the phone at home and need a way to check messages.
Thanks

To do that, you would have to have iMessage setup on both your iPhone and your Mac (no PC option), take a look at this Apple doc -> Messages (Mountain Lion): About iMessage and iOS devices

HT204053 can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

What exactly do you mean through another source?
Cause the only way I can think to answer this question is by stateing -
If you send them a text message on another device or to their email, yes. otherwise no well unless you like emailed those to yourself and "someone" has access to your email etc etc etc yes...

Why do I get text messages telling me I need to make a payment?

My prepaid $50 plan is set up to automatically debit my credit card for the full monthly amount when it's due.
I get a text message 3 days before the due date that I need to make a $50.00 payment by the due date.
I then get a text message ON the due date (at 2:07 IN THE MORNING) that $50.00 has been added to my account (because of autopay).
I then get another message later in the morning of the same day that my Auto Pay payment was processed.
This is so annoying that I am considering STRONGLY changing carriers:
Since my plan is on AUTOPAY, I DON'T NEED or have use for the first message.
The second message seems:
REDUNDANT - since I will also receive the confirmation message later that day.
INCONSIDERATE - since it is sent at 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
STUPID - since I am on AUTOPAY, I should only get a message if AUTOPAY FAILS, and then not at 2:00 IN THE MORNING!
The second message seems:
UNNECESSARY - since I am on AUTOPAY.
STUPID - since I am on AUTOPAY, I should only get a message if AUTOPAY FAILS!!!
I cannot find a support person in any part of Verizon who can fix this calling *611.
I cannot find a place on my userid where I CAN CHANGE IT MYSELF.
I like Verizon but I am sufficiently annoyed to change carriers if this simple software change can't or won't be made, or if I don't receive an acceptable response from Verizon in this forum, where it is accessable by other users.

Actually, the high level support lady has communicated with the Verizon Internet Technology department and it actually sounds like there may be a fix on the way for me. There is no direct number to call, but the suggestion that I was about to change providers seems to have gotten me escalated. It took almost two hours to get here, though.
They have call centers in places like Murfreesboro, TN. I don't know why they're still off-shored for first contact calls and why it's so difficult to get escalated to somebody who doesn't communicate by script in widely varying states of English communication ability. I ask for somebody who speaks English as a first language and I get a different Tagalog- or Spanish-speaker. It's hard enough to understand the occasional New Yorker I happen to get. And the scripts they use are VERY frustrating. "Hello, valued customer" is not a proper response to "My ****** phone isn't working right AGAIN!!!".
End result: They are going to "back out a change they made in October" that removed the reasonable-hour check for sending the messages. Since they do releases monthly and I don't know when they did the last one, I have no idea when this will happen. I'm not hopeful, since my initial complaint was in July, before they made the October change.
*611 or 888 294-6804 options 4-6-4 are what she gave me for tech support to get to a person. That's what I did 1 hour and 31 minutes ago, Before that I spent 8 minutes doing *611, asked for a English-as-a-first-language person and was transferred to another off-shore 4 times and hung up in frustration.
Magic Jack has better service.

Getting text messages from your computer

I left my phone at home today and I feel like its the end of the world. Is there a way I can set it up where I can get my text messages sent to my computer where I am at now until I get home? Kinda like call forwarding but text forwarding?

Hi Chuck-Stick,
I was recently without my phone and felt so lost. Let's see what we can do for you. I do apologize for the delay in responding. You can go to www.vtext.com and log in and send and receive messages via our site. We have also added a new feature that is awesome! It's called Verizon Messages, if you have an Android phone or even an iPad you can download the app and get your messages on multiple devices. Here is a link.http://vz.to/1aOnfRS Keep us posted if you need anything else.
