You can pick an address or a phone number to use whenever you write a new message or reply. The iMessage system is designed to let you receive messages at any Apple ID-associated email address and now also any iPhone phone number. I also received an alert from Messages containing the email addresses that were associated with my Apple ID on my iPhone. Click Yes on the alert to check that box, or you can later select the checkbox in Messages’ Accounts preference pane. On my Mac, as soon as I did that, I received an alert that my phone number was available to use in Messages, and the iMessage account in Messages showed a checkbox next to my phone number. Tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage, and log back in, then tap Next. Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and then tap Apple ID. Some people have not had to do that, but based on Twitter commentary, others are in the same boat. The trick is to log out and back in on your iPhone instead. I logged out and back in using the same Apple ID on my Mac, and still no luck. My iPhone’s number did not show up, however. If you have iOS 6 installed on your iPhone, the phone number should appear as well this doesn’t work in iOS 5, even with 10.8.2 installed. That’s a nice change: the iMessage account now shows all associated email addresses, instead of requiring you to enter them. When your Mac starts up after upgrading to 10.8.2, you may receive a series of messages (as I did) alerting you to all the addresses associated with the Apple ID with which you use iMessage in the Messages program. But I found it puzzling that when I went to my updated Mac’s Messages preferences, clicked Accounts, and selected iMessage, I didn’t see a phone number. With the combination of iOS 6 and the OS X 10.8.2 update, Mountain Lion’s Messages app can now send and receive iMessages using an iPhone’s number as the identifier. #1604: Universal Control how-to, show proxy icons in Monterey, Eat Your Books cookbook index.#1605: OS updates with security and bug fixes, April Fools article retrospective, Audio Hijack 4, 5G home Internet.#1606: Apple's self-sabotaging App Store policies, edit Slack messages easily, WWDC 2022 dates.#1607: TidBITS 32nd anniversary, moving from 1Password to KeePass, pasting plain text, Mail fixes anchor links, RIP Eolake.#1608: How to test Internet responsiveness, Wordle takeoffs, understand cryptocurrency.
