  • Why is my text being sent as an email after iOS 7

    Ever since we upgraded to the iOS 7, all texts from our iPhone 4 are being sent as an email attachment?? Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I'm having this problem also.
    Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4 running iOS5, we were texting using iMessage, and it was working but then for some strange reason, the last 3 or so messages we sent got sent as text, but it didn't show them being sent as a text, until you left iMessage, and returned to it.
    The problem was, I had sent 2 pictures through iMessage, they got sent as MMS, and I got charged for them.
    Apple need to split iMessage from sms, instead of rolling them in the same app, that way you know your in iMessage, and you know when your in sms.
    Why apple have decided to leave them in the same app is a mystery.
    Sort it out Apple.

  • My imessage texts are being sent from my email address and not my phone number.

    How do I change so imessages are sent from my phone number again and not my email?

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • My notes are being stored on my outlook account and not icloud

    Hello,
    one of the email accounts on my iphone is linked with a work msoutlook account. A problem is that the notes that i enter into my iphone end up on my outlook account and not my icloud account. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

    Go to Settings>Notes>Default Account and set it to iCloud.  Then open the Notes app, tap Accounts at the top, tap your iCloud account on the Accounts list, then try creating a new note and confirm that it appears on icloud.com now.  If it does, leave things this way and your notes will sync properly with iCloud.

    Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

    Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
    When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

  • Why are my iMessages being sent to my father's iPhone as well as mine?

    I updated my iPhone to the newest software last night, and now all of my iMessages are being sent to my father's phone. My messages are only linked to my number, iCloud account and email. His is nowhere on it. What is going on?

    You visually verified that on both phones?  If so, I'm not sure what the problem is... don't know how that could happen unless your emails matched.
    Try turning iMessage off on one or both and then back on.

  • There are unauthorised emails being sent from my emails accounts. This started recently following my iOS update to 5.0.1. Is this an iCloud hacking issue?

    There appears to be emails being sent out to random contacts from my shared address book with dubious content none of which were sent by me. I believe this was sent by unauthorised hacker from iCloud as the contacts are not even in my personal contact list, but came from my wife's contact list which have been shared via iCloud. Is there security breach issue with iCloud?

    I have the same situation (there seems to be lots of emails sent through my Icloud account. I don't see those emails in my "sent" folder, but I can see plenty of email (Chinese spam emails) bounced back into my account stating that I have exceded the sending limits. I cannot send anything either from my account (of course, the sending limit is alwasy exceeded). I have also changed twice my password, but the issue remains.
    Any clues?
    I am really surprised at this. I was from the begining with .Mac, and never had any issue during all these years. This is now with Icloud, which should be safer and better  :-(

    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?
