Why does my email address display when I send a txt message to another iPhone user?

When I txt MSG another iPhone user, my email address displays on their screen as sender's name. Is this because I have my email address set as my apple ID? Can I change my Apple ID name to stop this?

Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Apple ID.
Sign out of your Apple ID followed by signing back in with your cell phone number selected as your iMessage Caller ID.

TS2755 When sending a txt message to another iphone user we both are getting message not delivered but it is, yet when i send txt to an adroid i dont get that message at all so its not a provider issue

When i txt to Nother iphone we both get message undelivered et when i txt to an adroid phone its fine

Erase any conversation you have with this person in your Messages, then start a new one and see if it does same thing. If it still doesn't go through right away, it's a problem with your friend's iMessage setup, not yours.

Why does my email signature disappear when i send pictures?

i am having issuer with sending pictutres via email.
if i use the insert image i can only select a single image at a time ... slow..
so to avoid this time waste i go to pictures, select the images i want and click share via mail option
and the images appear along with my signature line.
when the mail is recieved my signature has disappeared.
why?
kenny

This is the step that I took after inputting my signature.
On the right, after saving my document, I click "Get Others to Sign." I was confused because it says that it's powered by EchoSign. Like I stated before, my clients are able to sign this document when I send it to them, but it is returned to me with their signature (not in the signature field, but at the end of the document), and my signature is missing. I tested this on myself - my signature is missing when they receive it.

Is there an email address to use to send a text message to a Verizon user?

I would like to use my computer to send an email - but it show up as a text on a Verizon Iphone. Is this possible?

Address the e-mail to the person's phone number, followed by vtext.com unless the e-mail/text contains pictures or special characters that would convert it to a multimedia message. If that's the case, then send it to the phone number followed by vzwpix.com.
In other words:
[email protected]
[email protected]

I talked to our email provider and they say it has to do with the way thre recipients email address book has recorded the address. They say that they need to fix the address on their end.

Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

Hi Helen
I think (from the other forum you posted to previously) that you are asking how to send email to a group in your address book, or other group of email addresses? You will need a third party app to do this, a number of which are available from the App Store.
Our MailShot Pro app is unique, as it can turn addressbook groups into special contacts that you can use from any Mail-compatible app on your iPad (Such as Mail, Photos, Maps etc.) as though the ability to send to groups were built into your device.
You can find MailShot Pro here on the App Store

Receivers end where? In an email or a text message? Does this person have an iPhone?

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

When I send a text message from my iPhone response only comes back to my iPhone . If I send from iPad, response only comes back to iPad. Whichever I used last is where response comes. Responses are not coming to both anymore! Please help?

On both devices when you go to settings>messages>send and recieve how are poeple contacting you on each device?. e.g. email or mobile number.

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.

HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s. Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later. This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her. Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem. Can someone help? I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

Why does my email address show up as my contact name to people in iMessage?

Everyone says I show up as an email address. Is anyone else havin this problem or know how to fix it?

I did a reset due to poor battery life and have been informed that my email address instead of phone number is showing up.,,,,,,,,am on iphone 4s.
I have tried the above fix and it did not work. Messages show receive at 2 Addresses one of which is phone number and the other is email address. The phone number is grayed out and the address is highlighted. It does not provide me with the option to change it from email to phone.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Right now I am very frustrated. Had no issues with phone until upgrade. Now battery does not last a full day and even with reset am now having battery issues plus this one.
Thanks

When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

In mail, why does entire email address show up instead of just person's name

When I address most emails (to persons who are in my contacts), only their names show up in the "To:" window. But with certain people, their name plus their <full email address> all show up in the window.
I've tried re-entering their names in my contacts. I've tried deleting these names-with-full-email-addresses from the Previous Recipients list. No matter what I do, their name fills in as "First Name Last Name <full email address>" in the "To:" window. I also mail to other clients at the same company and their names just show up as names only -- normal.
Any idea why this is happening, and how I can make it stop?

It's fixed. Not sure why. Maybe one of the things I tried just needed time to take effect. Suddenly, it's working.
