How will the Apple iMessage work?

Hello everyone!!!!!
I am just wondering how the imessage will work?  Will there be a user name/password? Do I need to have my iphone contacts mobile number listed under "iPhone" vs. "mobile" ?
I contacted Apple last night but they are very closed mouthed...... he said he couldn't tell me even if he knew, which makes me think he knew!!!!!
Any ideas would be great!!!!!!

Until Apple actually releases iOS 5.0, this is all the info there is. Anyone who did know would be under a NDA and risk losing their job if they said anything other that what has been published:

    You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

  • How will the Adobe Certified Expert program be managed with the shift to Creative Cloud?

    I am presently studying to certify as an Adobe Certified Expert/Adobe Certified Instructor in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My studying has been based upon the CS6 versions.
    How will the ACE program work once we switch to CC? Should I wait for more changes to the program before taking my exams?
    Thank you!

    Hi Dreia, denniR,
    We will offer CC exams and keep the existing CS6 exams available while Adobe continues to sell and support our Creative Suite 6 product line. Creative Suite 5 exams will be retired as the new CC offerings are released.
    I know there are a lot of questions that will come up as our ACEs begin to work with CC and prep for the new certifications. To coordinate with the CC certifications, the exams will now be based on time periods. Meaning your certification will be valid for a pre-specific length of time and  will be required to recertify to maintain the CC product certifications. We will begin posting the specifics around the timeframes, policies, etc. in advance of the CC exam launches. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with questions and comments.
    Thanks,
    Tiffany

    How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

    There is some instability in  iMessage.  It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use. 
    I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone. 
    ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
    On the iPad 2, same thing.  Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
    On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage.  That fixed it.   Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
    I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
    If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it. 
    Why?  (beware, some of this is guesswork)
    iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network).  It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi.  If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message.  If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line.  If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up. 
    In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses.  That is where the problem happenes.  zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem.  Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem.  I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'. 
    To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8    Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen.  Now go run iMessage.  After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank.  Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • How will the preorder work?

    how will the preorder work?

    Yes.
    You can use the 3G as an iPod Touch - there is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPhones, and iPads that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
    The iPhone 4 will use a micro-SIM card - just as with the iPad. Keep the no longer activated SIM card with your 3G inserted in the 3G even after the iPhone is no longer activated. In order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card needs to be inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated.
    You can enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access when internet access is required.

  • How does the time capsule work?

    I am unfamiliar with this device. Can anyone explain how this works? I have a Gateway NV79, an IPad 2 and an IPhone. Will the time capsule work with these devices and a printer(Officejet Pro 8600)? If so, how does it do this? I am also wondering how it works as a router? Does it provide the internet access itself or do you have to have a separate source of internet to link to the device?

    A Time Capsule is a wireless router and a hard drive in one package. It does not have a modem built in, so a modem and broadband service is required if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.
    As a wireless router, the Time Capsule can provide connections for up to 50 users and 3 wired Ethernet devices. If you need more Ethernet connections, a switch can be easily added to the Time Capsule for that purpose.
    Your printer could connect to the Time Capsule using either a wired Ethernet connection or wireless connection
    Apple's literature does a good job of describing the product. Be sure to click the links in the upper right hand corner of the main page to learn more about the Backup capabilities, Wireless performance, and detailed Specifications.

  • Will the Apple TV do these things?

    I presently use WD TV Live boxes. They work, but I'm dissatisfied with some of the non-critical functionality, and especially with the level of support from WD. I'm considering replacing my WD boxes with Apple TVs, but I'm not sure if they support some of the features I'm interested in. Since I don't want to buy one just to find out if it works, I was hoping to find some answers here!
    I keep all my video files on standard Windows network shares, with no media server software. I understand that I'll need to install iTunes to stream my video, which is no problem. I operate over a wired network. There are some of my criteria I understand Apple TV does meet, so I'm just going to state them in case there are any caveats that anyone wants to mention:
    Physically small, quiet, no fan.
    Streams HD video over a wired network to my TV via HDMI.
    Supports a wide variety of video and audio codecs.
    Youtube support
    Netflix support
    As for my actual questions:
    One problem with the WD TV boxes is that there is a long delay between turn-on and actual usability. How long does an Apple TV typically take from cold boot to playing video?
    Another problem is that video files on servers are buried in the menu structure, ten or more selections down. There's no way to create shortcuts at a higher level. And scrolling through lists of videos is a pain. How does the Apple TV interface for accessing locally streamed video compare?
    Does the Apple TV support playlists, with shuffle? I'd love to have a playlist of, say, all my sitcoms, and have the device pick one at random.
    If I have multiple Apple TVs on the same network, can I stop watching a video file on one box and pick it up where I left off on the other?
    I understand Apple AirPlay will allow me to stream the same audio, in sync, to be played by multiple Apple TVs and/or AirPort Express nodes simultaneously. Is this accurate?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV takes only a few seconds to start up and be ready to play video.
    You can add items to a favourites list, however content lists are fairly basic, although they may not be quite as deep as you've described on the WD.
    Yes the Apple TV supports playlists with shuffle.
    iTunes remembers where a video has been stopped and will give you the option on any other Apple TV to resume it at that point or start again.
    You can stream audio to multiple Apple TVs and airport expresses from your computer, note though you can only stream video to one device at a time.
    On the subject of audio and video codecs that are supported by the Apple TV you may find the following specifications of interest.
    Video formats supported
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Audio formats supported
    HE-AAC (V1), AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through
    Photo formats
    JPEG, GIF, TIFF.

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.

  • How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service

    How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service and it locked so if someone found it they would not be able to connect it to a wifi source.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    Great link giving you peace of mind that at least they will not be able to use it with out your AppleID and Password.
    According to the "Lost Mode" anytime the device is turned back on or able to receive a signal the phone will lock itself down and it's position will be updated to show its last known location.

  • How will Batman Arkham City work on my iMac 21.5 Late 2013?

    Hi everybody, I have just bought an iMac for Christmas and I wanna know how will Batman Arkham City work on my computer. The especifications are this: 21.5, 2.7 i5, 8GB RAM and Iris Pro Graphics 1024 MB Late 2013. How will the game look compared with a PS3? And I am also worried because the are some people who say that gaming in an iMac like mines can damage it, is it true?
    Thank You, and sorry for my English I am from Spain and I dont totally control the language.

    According to a review written in Oct 2013, they cover several aspects of this year's iMac and go into graphics performance, where they said they tried a few tests and a few games. The game inquiry appeared to be given a satisfactory nod or affirmative here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/08/apple-imac-review-2013/ or coverage of recent specs here: http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/reviews/?reviewid=3470461
    Since I didn't  look into Mactracker for Late 2013 specs to see when that version shipped, the numbers may have changed if 'Late' model was available after the October 2013 date of their review.
    There also are a few other incidents of that game in use on iMacs of later vintage, as per search results: https://www.google.com/#q=Batman+Arkham+City+in+iMac+2013+model
    Hopefully the game & the new iMac works out well for you.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What is the Apple iMessage server's criteria for sending to iMessage users an uncompressed, unmodified video?

    I would like to know what the Apple iMessage server uses as criteria for successfully sending a video from my iPhone 4s using iOS 6.1
    that is uncompressed and unmodified?

    You could try uploading them to a joint dropbox account that they could then download them from....but how fast it is will depend on the internet connection available.

  • How will my serial number work?

    Please, how will my serial number work?

    Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
    I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.
