Does iMessages only work when writing to people who have i05, or can you write to people using other systems ?

I have an iPad 2, but have never yet been able to send a iMessage....does this only work when writing to people who also have i05, or can you also write to people who use other systems ?
iMessages is turned on on my system, but even when writing to people who I know have iPads or iPhones , I just get the red exclamation mark....
Sending messages on my iPhone seems to work okay when sending to non iPhone users, so I don't understand what's wrong here .

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 :
iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or 3G* from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to other iOS 5 users.
Note: On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can turn this on or off in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage will appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS will appear in a green bubble.

Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi? Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

It works over WiFi or cellular.
If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

Does Lightroom only work when online?

Does Lightroom only work when I am online? Do I have to be online to process or work on files? If I cannot be online, eg, when in a remote area with no service, how do I process my photo's?

You can easily test this by cutting off all network access to your computer (turn off wi-fi or disconnect the network cable). You'll find that you can still get stuff done if there is no Internet. Especially if you are using the non-subscription version of Lightroom, which doesn't need to check in at all after it's first licensed.
If you do use Lightroom through a subscription to Creative Cloud, the annual plan has an offline mode limit of 99 days (over 3 months); the limit is 30 days offline for the monthly plan. And if you stop your subscription, you still have access to your images and some Lightroom features.

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation?

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation or does it work with older ones as well?

Any iPod Touch device that can be upgraded to iOS 5 will have iMessage. This means if you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod Touch it will support iMessage.
See this article on what features your iPod Touch supports

EVDRE: Sumparent. Does this only work when expanding down AND accross

Dear Forum,
I am trying to put together an input schedule that uses SUMPARENT to calculate all the parent values in the reportin grid. This seems to work ok when I expand on row and columns but stops working when I expand on Rows only. Does anyone know why this may be happening or experienced this before and found a workaround
best regards
Azim

Hey Azim
This thread is a bit old so not sure if you have worked this out as if you have it'd be awesome.
I'm having this same issue and the only thing I can get to work is if I have a dynamic dimension in both my rows and my columns, then I can get sumparent to put in the formulas.
If however I don't meet that criteria or I refer to SELF in a dimensino it doesn't work.
So for the time being I have a work around that after the refresh button is pressed (I imbedded one in the worksheet) then it runs a piece of code that finds all the calculated members and places a formula in there. But I'm sure there is a better way to do this, if you have come across one that'd be much appreciated
Thanks
Jason

Why does adobe only works when 1st installed

Every time I want to use Adobe on my Mac I have to reinstall. It works when first installed. The next time I try to open a file I get a message same I am blocked.

1. Uninstall Flash.

    Reinstall Adobe Flash.

2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Why does iMessage only work for some of my contacts?

Having problems with iMessage. It will work for some of my contacts but not others. And those people arre having the same problem, works with other people but not me.. Anyone dealt with this?

1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection. If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly. If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.

Please explain in more detail what you updated and what isn't working now. You might also add anything you have already done to correct the problem.

Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

IMessage in my iPhone 4 stopped working over 3G and now its only working when i connect my iPhone to Wifi!!! please help

as mentioned in the subject. i was enjoying sending msgs using iMessage using 3G internet connection but since yesterday my iMessage stopped working and now its only working when i connect my iPhone to Wifi !!!
without WiFi it show my Message Not Delivered in Red !!
and this issue not only with me.. even with my freind. so please help to find a solution

I know why. It happened to me before. Try typing random stuff, eg aaasjddjfndirinfekdnkedindor , into the text box, then delete everything using the x-arrow on the keyboard. It should work now. If not, repeat the process again and again. It's because it needs to send the signal to the other recipient(without him really knowing it, this is to check that he can see when you are typing, you know, the "…" bubble), then check that you have 3G at good speed, then enables iMessage. It works for me this way...hope it does for you too (:

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

Why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09?

why does fix capitalization work when there is only one space after the period in pages 09? For example: "Turn on 3rd St. After the traffic light." There is only one space after the period in "St." shouldn't it only auto correct after TWO spaces..?? the word After, should be after..

You may also use a noBreak space after the period at the end of the abbreviation.
If I remember well, in such case the capitalization will not apply.
