Why does my Apple ID show up when sending messages instead of my phone number?

When I send a message from my iPad mini and my iPhone, it shows up under my Apple ID to the receiver, why does it do that?

My phone number and email address are both marked and its checked to start new conversations from my phone number.

Why does my internet password show up when I reply to an email from my cell?

Why does my internet password show up when I reply to an email from my cell?

this question is extremely broad. can you describe what you mean? where does the password show up? in the signature line? as the subject? in the body? and what internet password? your home provider? your cell provider? what's the password for? your email account? or is your phone password protected? details.

Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me. They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system. I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage. Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it. Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

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 apple id show up as my number

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.

Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

Why do people see my email when i send imessages instead of my phone number

I recently had to erase my phone due to me forgetting my passcode and every since I erased it, my imessages will not work properly. By this I mean, I cant sign in with my apple id. And when i did someone manage to get it up people were saying that my old phone number was showing up. Then I tried to reset again and then email keeps showing up. I've tried everything I can and nothing will make it work properly.

Go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and see if it is activated. If yes, then turn it off. Then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After the phone has restarted, go back into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it on. Make sure it activates, and then go to Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is listed there, is grayed out and has a checkmark by it. If you do not want to use your Apple ID for iMessage, you can tap on it to remove the checkmark.

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??

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.
