    one day i texted a friend of mine and instead of my number showing up my email did. does anyone know why it does that and how to fix it?

    You sent an iMessage, not a text message as in SMS/MMS.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at. If you don't want to be reached at your Apple ID email address with iMessage, deselect it there.
    Below Start new conversations from, make sure your cell phone number is selected.

  • Expert help needed: why does my apple id show in app store....

    when I never signed into the app store before... and... it's not even my system...
    OK...story...
    On my clients iMac who is running os 10.5.8 and wishes to uprgade to 10.8, I did the following:
    -installed 10.6 from my image of the 10.6 installer disc on my utility firewire hd
    -after upgrade, I ran software update and installed the 10.6.8 combo update
    -after reboot went to app store(1st time it has been used) and attempted to purchase & upgrade the OS to 10.8 and noticed in the Store menu that my apple Id was there???
    um….
    how did it get there??? So what I then did was:
    -have my client enter his apple id & paswd and sign in
    -when he attempted to purchase then download, a warning appeared - (not exact) 'downloads for the acct <myappleid> are waiting to be downloaded, please complete the downloads before…(wish I made a screen shot)
    The only way around this was to sign back into my apple id and allow mountain lion to download and install.
    Anyways…
    I had him sign into the app store on another mac and mountain liion was not in his list of purchases, but that didn't surprise me.
    What is completely a mystery is why my apple id made it's way into his app store when it was never there before, I mean the system was at 10.5. prior...I'm baffeled
    This is the second time this has happened, 1st time it was when bringing a a client of mine from 10.5.8 to 10.7 with the same steps as above….
    Does anyone have a clue??

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    I would guess that your Apple ID is in the pirated version of Snow Leopard 10.6 that you are installing on their computers to allow them to update to Mountain Lion.

  • Why does my phone say wrong security code (for my debt card) when i try to download a app?

    Why does my phone say that I have entered the wrong security code off of my debt card when i'm trying to download any app free or otherwise? I know all my info is correct and my debt card is good.

    Mine is doing the same. I've tried several different cards all with the same response.

  • Why does my phone say a call is from an email address

    When my sister calls or texts or face times me it shows up as coming from her email address instead of the phone number associated with her iPhone 4s. When I text her phone number it does not register as iMessage but when I text her email address it does show iMessage. Similarly, I can FaceTime with her via her email address but not her phone number. Lastly, when I factime or text her email address it shows up on both her iPad and iPhone when she is on wifi. What is going on? This seems really really strange to us.

    Is her caller ID set to her phone number in Settings/FaceTime/Caller ID ->her phone number instead of her mail address?

  • Why does Verizon Wireless ask to confirm my email address when I touch the Google Chrome app, but not respond when the correct info is entered?

    I touch the Chrome app icon on my Droid and a Verizon message comes up. It asks me to confirm my email address as shown on the screen, and has a field for entering my billing zip. When I do so, it flashes as if processing but comes right back to the same screen with the zip code field empty. I went on line and confirmed that all info in my profile was correct. Anyone out there with the same problem and/or help?

        Lets get to the bottom of this, Dwix! I personally use the Google Chrome application and love it. I am confident that we can figure it out together. Did you just start using the application? Have you had this message pop-up before? You mentioned that it is a Verizon Message, does it come in a form of a text message? Is it possible for you to send us a screenshot of this message?
    Please share the details needed so that we can better assist!
    Thank you,

  • Updated Apple ID username with new email address.  Now unable to update iPhone apps

    I updated the email address for my apple ID.  Now, when I go to update apps on my iphone it still tries the old username/email address and and authentication fails.  Therefore, how do I update the username on my MAC Mini, iTunes, and iPhone so that it defaults to using the correct username/email address to authenticate to my apple ID account?
    Thanks

    So basically, I cannot change the email I use as my login email for my apple ID?  That does not seem to make any sense?  What happens if someone does not have access to their old email?  I guess that is my real question, how can I change the email address I use for my apple ID and still use all my applications?

  • Why does my apple id show when i send text messages?

    Since I updated my iphone to ios 5.0.1, the person I'm texting sees that they've received a message from my apple id instead of my phone number. How do I change this so I show as the contact they have saved in their phone?

    This must be a new glitsch. Mine is doing this too and sending all messages to all of the devices on my icloud account. Very irritating. Is this recent? Mine just started two days ago.

  • Why does my iTunes library show up to be different sizes?

    I have about 2600 songs in my iTunes library. At the bottom of the iTunes library window, it says there are 2600 songs, 13.03gb. All of these songs fit on my 16gb iTouch.
    Now, when i go to finder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music the folder is 114gb!
    WHY IS THIS SOOOO MUCH LARGER?
    It's the same contents that are in my iTunes library!

    Selecting Music in iTunes will show only your music.
    Selecting Music>iTunes>iTunes Music in the Finder shows everything in iTunes including music, movies, audiobooks, podcasts,TV Shows, etc.
    Go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Music and this is only the music files.

  • Why does my TV only show the background image on my iMac when connected through the thunderbolt port?

    I connected my iMac to my LCD TV using an HDMI cable and then an adapter to connect to the iMac's thunderbolt port. However, I can only see the wallpaper of my iMac, but not any other application that is open. Could anyone help me resolve this issue?

    The TV is  seen as a second monitor, you need to drag content onto it. Just click this window and drag it to the left and it should appear on the TV. If you want the TV to mirror what you see on  your iMac then you have to tell got to System Preferences - Display - Arrangement tab and click Mirror Displays.
