Email and Messaging

If you use a Mac that you don't want your iMessages and texts showing up on, say at work for example, and you've already set everything up using your Apple ID, the Messages app may automatically start receiving your messages. Whatever the case may be, you can disable it by opening the Messages app and going to Preferences in the Messages menu found in the top left of your screen. In Preferences, click Accounts, then simply uncheck the box next to "Enable this account."

When you are in a text/iMessage conversation and you have missed a bunch of messages, it can be really annoying trying to read all the missed messages, only to have the thread jump back to the bottom every time a new message arrives. This is especially problematic in group texts when you've already missed a hundred and new ones are coming in every couple seconds.

Mail on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will use the default email address when composing a new message. To temporarily change the From address when sending mail from iOS, follow these steps:

1. Open the Mail app and compose a new message.
2. Tap the field labeled Cc/Bcc, From:
3. Then select the From: field
