How can I make iMessage on my MAC using my phone # instead of my e-mail address

The habit of using my phone number of my iMessage on my MAC and it syncs with my phone and I could reply to all messages on the computer.  Now, since I updated my apple ID, it will use only my email address.  (The last time this happened, he went back, but I don't know how) How can I change using my phone #?

You need to set up the continuity of linking your Mac and your iPhone for sharing messages - continuity of use to connect your iPhone, iPod touch and Mac - Apple Support

BUT, the two devices must be connected to the same iCloud account using the same AppleID for connection.  You can not link devices using different AppleIDs.

    2. under Family summary, click on Add a new child.
    3. log on to the account of the child

    After that, the child's account appears as a member of the family under the new parent account.

    To block the registration page:

    1. on any computer, connect on the parent account to the safety of the family home page
    2. click Edit settings under the name of your son, and then click Web filtering lists.

  • How can I make printer go online without using usb

    OK... the icon of the printer with the printer mx860.  how he do it online?  cause right now, he says and goes offline when I unplug the usb cable...

    Hi Linda,.

    Usually, when you use a printer connected via USB, it must be connected with the USB cable to view offline.

    When you unplug the USB cable, it will display offline.

    If the printer is able to take over a wireless or Bluetooth connection, and then you try using wireless or Bluetooth connection to see online it.

    If you use a Canon printer, you can also consult the Canon support website to check the specifications of the printer and get help.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • How can I make an external link and use it to open not only Dreamweaver but also to open to a specific line (say 100 line)?

    Hello!

    I am new to this site and I tried to find a solution to this problem for some time, but avast, I have not found anything.

    Here's what I want to do, I want to be able to send someone a link via my email, and when they click the link. It will open Dreamweaver and also bring to the line that I specify.
    The research I've done shows that other programs such as Notepad ++ can do this by typing something like this


    C:/Users/[username]/Desktop/Notepad/Notepad++.exe C:/Users/[username]/Desktop/Notepad/new.txt-n7

    and I guess I wonder if Dreamweaver has something similar. I've looked everywhere and if you don't understand what I'm trying to please let me know if I can explain it better.

    Any information will be helpful, just know that I am new in this area, so some jargon/lingo will be above my head.

    Thank you!

    I'm reasonably sure there is nothing in DW, which would allow you to do this. DW has 7 settings or interface as possible...

    Code

    Split (Code/Design)

    Split (Code/Live)

    Split (Code / Live + Live Code)

    Design

    Live

    Code Live + live

    Only 3 of them will allow you to change the code of a page. You would not only need to say which line you are looking for DW, but you also potentially set option to open a file in a display that allows to use line numbers. Some of them do not exist in some versions of the program or are made differently than a current or previous version.

    It's a Pandora's box much more than opening a text editor and specifying a line of text.

  • Firefox keeps displaying old site, ff mobile detects the new site. How can I make Office go to the new site?

    I moved my site from the old host of godaddy. updated the dns at register.com. On my phone android with firefox, I can see the new site, after I dropped the wifi and went to the data. On my desk and my husband two computers, we can only see the old site, even after clearing cache. How can I make Firefox displays the new site?

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • How can I make the biggest impression

    How can I make the biggest impression on all Web sites? where is the setting? Thank you!

    To temporarily make more big, click on 'view' in the menu, then choose 'Zoom' & then it will allow you to set the zoom to larger or smaller.

    If you want to definitely bigger, if you have a Mac, click on 'Firefox', then 'Préférences' / If you have Windoze choose 'Tools', then 'Options' (both look the same from here...), then click the "Content" icon and change the font size.

    That should do it...

  • The address window has been reduced. How can I make it any longer so I can see the address (or most of them at least)?

    I've updated to Firefox for Mac 3.6.23. I have OS 10.4.11. Immediately, I noticed that the address window has been reduced to about half an inch. The search engine is long, like the address used to be window. It's not good for me. I usually use the address window to make changes and move it to a new page. I can't do it now. How can I make long once again the address window? Can I return to 3.6.22? I need this long window.
    Sincerely,
    Gerald E. Strickland
    Bradenton, Florida

    You can place the mouse between the address bar and the search bar, and it will become an icon of resize.

    Press the left mouse button and drag it to the right to make the larger location toolbar.

    You can also reset the related wides by deleting localstore.rdf in the Firefox profiles folder

    My e-mail is important my emails when I turn it on but then offline. Need my password back on doctor connection and stay on the line until I turn it off. Process is repeated on the switching across. How can I make my email stay online?

    Hi jsteveh,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

    I understand that the mailbox of your Mac becomes offline at random times.  I suggest the mail connection doctor to see if there is any problem with your computer to communicate with the mail running server.

    Use Mail connection doctor

    Take care.

  • How can I make Pages capitalize the first word in a sentence?

    How can I make Pages capitalize the first word in a sentence? The I phone t - it, the iPad does, why not not iMac using Pages capitalize the first word on a new sentence?

    Pages of IOS and IOS itself remain different implementations of Pages v5.6.1 for Mac and OS X. In any version of Pages v5, if there was an option to preferences in Pages ' 09, there is no auto-capitalisation function.

    See my previous post is launching an OS X App Store free application, which can be applied to auto-capitalisation to your Pages v5 documents.

  • How can I make a T-Shirt on a HP Photosmart 7510 transfer?

    How can I make a T-Shirt on a HP Photosmart 7510 transfer? I have a MacBook Pro and I am trying to print from Word.

    IF the printing software will not spill the content and that you use MS Word, you can insert a text box into the page. A text box can be made to almost the entire page size by larger margins in the print options.

    To return the text box as a mirror image in Word (after content is added):

    1. Right-click the text box and choose Format shape.
    2. In the left pane, choose 3D Rotation.
    3. Set the X to 180, and click OK.

    Personally, I have better results/control using Photoshop.

    I do not know alternatives to use Mac because I'm not a Mac user.
