Why the receiving party received iMessage from me but displayed as sent from email address

When sending SMS through iMessage, why is it that the receiving party received the SMS as being sent from my email address instead of my mobile number

I have iPhone 4 iOS 5.1; I've been trying figure out how to make it so iMessage sends from my phone number and this is what finally worked for me:
First, I went to Settings>>Messages>>Receive At
Then, from there I logged out of the apple id by tapping on my email address and selecting "Sign Out." Now, in the place of where my email address was is the text "Use your Apple ID for iMessage." From here, I returned to "Messages," and next to "Receive At" my phone number was displayed.
After following these steps I am able to send messages from my phone number, instead of from the email address associated with my apple id.
The following things did not work for me:
I have tried signing out from my apple ID via Settings>>Store but this did not work. I have tried setting my Caller ID as my number, but this didn't do anything (i.e. iMessages were still being sent via my email address). I have tried changing the aforementioned items and restarting my iPhone in various ways. The only thing that worked is what I mentioned above.

Using Wireless printer 4500 series and prints dark from laptop but light when sent from a phone?

I am using a wireless f4580 printer i believe and when I print from my laptop the item print dark but when I send items from my Iphone 4 to the print they print so light you can barely see them and I just replaced the ink so I know it isn't that. What am doing wrong or what do I need to do? thanks in advance.

Do you see any advanced options for managing print quality, like "Economode printing" or changing print speed (draft, normal, best etc.) while printing from Iphone4? If yes, then choose options to give best print output.
If there are no options available while printing document, then you might need to see if you have same document or same document properties & contents (font - size, color, etc.) while printing from different computers.

Not getting email on MAcBook Pro, but receiving on iPhone. Getting message "Warning Recent errors logged" It repeatedly states "The Header From: address postoffice is not authorised - please go to control add PHP" But I only have 1 email address.

I am suddenly not getting email on my MacBook Pro, but am receiving e-mail on my iPhone. I'm getting message "Warning Recent errors logged" It repeatedly states "The Header From: address <postoffice> is not authorised - please go to control add PHP" But I only have 1 email address. I'm afraid to add anything on since I don't even know what this other e-mail address is. What should I do? And would this definitely be the cause of my not receiving e-mail?

I pressed check again and here is what appeared:

I receive the parcel that apple sent today, but i found that Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, How about the warranty? is that warranty available in malaysia?? or singapore ?

Singapore is the AFE distribution centre for Apple , in the same way all online purchases from Apple in Europe ship from Ireland the European Distribution centre
As Templeton has indicated the location you buy from is the only relevant information for warranty

Hi...
Tap the Photos icon in the Dock at the bottom of of the screen.
If you don't see the photos there, tap Settings > iCloud
Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

Any ideas ?

I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

If you have a rescue email address on your account then you will see a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you only have alternate/secondary email addresses on your account then you won't get the reset link, an you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you're finding that iMessage & Facetime is showing your email as default & your number is greyed out so can't select it then try signing out of iMessage & Facetime & signing in again.
