Why does my email on I message come up on someone else's phone?

I have the iPod touch 5G and when I send A iMessage, it shows my email. I want to know how to change it so people don't get my email

Go to the Contacts app and add yourself as a contact. Make sure you add the email address that you associated with Messages. It is by default the Apple ID email address

    Why do my e mails not back up from my i phone to icloud as it's set up to do so on my phone

    Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
    Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

    Hello Samlyoness
    Check to see what is enabled by default in Start New Conversations From in Settings > FaceTime and Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. You also could have had some start a conversation under your email as the Apple ID and so the conversation could be based on that.

    Hello bqster,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I would recommend going here:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, and then select the ... account.
    From: Mail (Mountain Lion): If a Mail account becomes inactive
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11804?viewlocale=en_US
    When you click the account there will be a Full Name field, and that is where you would change the name that gets sent with your emails.

    why does my email account keep telling me my username or password is incorrect when it isn't?

    Sky email is provided by Google now. Have you tried logging in via webmail on a desktop computer? Occasionally Google asks you to verify your account by entering a CAPTCHA which can't be done in a dedicated email client.
    If that doesn't help, try removing and then re-setting up the account, following the directions here:

  • Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

    Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

    It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP.  You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer.  That's one possiblility.  Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
    Hope this helps

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.
