Q: Icloud & Imessage question.

Accidentally activated icloud, do not want it downloading pics to my Imac, and my imessage started showing my email address instead of my name how it use to be. How can I ensure Icloud is not downloading pics and how can my Imessage start showing my name instead of email?

 

I tried going General>message>idcaller. But only gives me the email option.

 

Thanks!!!

    If you don't have Photo Stream turned on in the Mac System Preferences, no photos will be downloaded to your Mac. Launch System Preferences on the Mac and click on iCloud. Turn off Photo Stream if it is turned on.

     

    Messages should either show your Apple ID email address or your iPhone number as your contact in "You can be reached by iMessages at". That's how the Messages App works.
