Why do ppl keep reciving my text from my email not my number

WHy do people keep receiving my text from my email not my number ?

It's normal for your phone number to be grayed out under "You can be reached by iMessage at" because your can't edit it or remove it.  To ensure your messages are sent from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and check it under "Start new conversations from"

  • Iphone 4 sending messages from my email not phone number

    Yesterday when texting some of my friends they did not know who I was , I then found out my email address was showing up not my phone number. What is going on with this? My phone is up to date and this seems to only happen when I message people with Iphones. Is there a setting a need to change or is this just another issue Iphone is having.

    I would also like to say my phone does not let me switch this from the settings>messages>send and receive in settings.

    Can I Copy and Paste text from one Contact to Another on iPhone 3G?
    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

    Why do I keeping  "unable to purchase from iTunes Store now try later"

    Hi Nanas12,
    When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
              Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    - Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
              Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    - Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    - Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    - If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Pasting text from other apps not always work

    Is this a known problem or any way to avoid it? I usually receive emails with copy of text that was already checked for spelling errors, and when I try to copy the text from the email to AE and paste it into the text tool, it does not work 90% of the time, and if it works, it works only once, the next time I copy paste something it keeps always pasting the same old text. I noticed this on all the computers where I have AE installed.
    Thanks
    Victor

    Just a quick update.
    This problem has resurfaced AE CS6 (mac OS 10.8.x) this time.
    The copy/paste into the search bar doesn't seem to work anymore.
    I sent Aobde a note via their Bug/reports page - - (I'd suggest everyone do that.)
    So far, my only working solution is to quit/restart AE. --
    A shame for any 21st century software not to copy/paste formatted, or unformatted text.
    (BTW - the copy/paste text from within AE comps/layers works fine, just not clipboard content from outside .  .  . I'm going to poke around at a few likely culprits and attempt to troubleshoot a solution for my needs, but I can say it's a different problem than my Oct. 2010 post above.)
    Cheers

  • Copy text from an email

    I just purchased my first iPad, although I have been an Apple user for years. My question is this...I would like to copy and paste text from an email into a document for saving, or just save a whole email as a .pdf. Is there any way to do this easily? I can't seem to copy and paste from an email on my iPhone and am a bit cofused. I would also like to copy and paste certain passages from books, or web sites. Any suggestions as to the best apps to do this type of thing? Thanks

    I've noticed that as well.
    We are way OT now, (gee we never do that .... ) but the most recent upgrades to iCab Mobile have caused some issues for me. I constantly have to sign in again here the ASC if I go longer than 30 minutes or so without posting. That never used to happen before the latest update to iCab. Could be something I'm doing wrong, but if it is, I haven't figured it out yet.
    Have you explored iCab's settings (of which there are about 5000 ) could be something added there on the last update.

  • IMessage sending from email not phone number from my Mac?

    So I bought a macbook pro and i at the time had an iphone 4. When i started the messages app on the macbook, it prompted me to sign in and everything and then i could send imessages as if they were from my phone number. Then, i got an iphone 5 and all of a sudden the messages from the macbook were being sent from my email, not my phone number, and I have no idea how to get it back to sending from my phone number. HELP?!
