HT201401 how do I disable my phone so that people can text message me on a new non-iphone

I have followed the steps recommended by you you guys in the troubleshooting, but I am still not able to received texts from certain people that are using iphones

Okay....had success following wjosten's advice.
Call Apple: 1-800-275-2273
Press the options to speak with someone as if you are going to paythe $19.95
When you get a rep on the phone tell them you want to disassociate your phone number from iMessage
They will do a series of things on their side including sending you texts with codes to your phone
They say it will take 24hrs to work
Get a case number so you can call back if it doesn't work.

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

I bought an i phone and it tells me that i need to input an icloud account, I do not have a way to get the information from the person that it was purchased from. How do I reset this phone so that i can use it?

I have an iphone that is icloud blocked because i cought it second hand. I am trying to figure out how to use it. What should i do? How can i get rid of the icloud account without being able to access the phone?

You cannot use it until the previous owner disables Find My Phone and erases it. Until then it is useless. Return it to the seller and get a refund, if you can.

How do I fix my phone saying that I can't download paid apps? Every time it just says that I need to go itunes support and I done know how to fix it.

Please help me fix this

There is nothing that you can do if you didn't have a backup. You have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it. If you have never backed up or synced with iTunes you are pretty much sunk.
But If you have a backup in iTunes, you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes (or download from iCloud) and recover everything up to the point/date of the last backup.
You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You may need have to restore the iPad that way.
You may need this. Recovery mode.

How do I secure a PDF that has been signed so that it can't be opened in the new Word

Hi all
Hoping someone can help. As the title suggests I need some advice in securely locking a PDF after it has been signed.
I know how to secure a PDF document so that it can't be opened in the new version of the Word 2013.
File > properties > Security and pick password protect
Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
This then attempts to open the PDF and if secure it will fail to open if unsecured it will open making the content fully editable
However when you sign a document you can't secure it by going file > properties > Security and pick password protect.
Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
This then opens the PDF and makes the content fully editable but removes the signature
The content is fully editable - how can I lock this????????????????????????????
Thanks in advance

Hi Garetch,
You could encrypt the file first, but set the permissions to allow for signing. After that you can sign the encrypted file (you just can't encrypt a signed file). As long as you get the order of operations correct (encrypt first, sign second) you will end up at the same place you are trying to get to.

Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set!

Nope, that doesn't actually do the trick. It might keep i messages from going to your i phone but still won't allow them to go to your new device.

How do i change the phone number that my Keychain is associated with?

Hello Boogie3339,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see below on how to change your phone number for iCloud Keychain:
Change how new devices can be approved
After setting up iCloud Keychain on your Mac, you can change whether your iCloud Security Code can be used to approve iCloud Keychain on new devices. You can also change the iCloud Security Code or the phone number used to verify your identity after you use the iCloud Security Code.
In iCloud Preferences, make sure Keychain is on, click Account Details, then change your iCloud Security Code settings.

You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.

Restore your phone using the last backup that you made. That should put everything back the way it was.

My iPod touch keeps telling me that my Apple ID has been disabled - I have changed my password twice. Is there a phone number that I can call to actually talk with someone about it?

My iPod touch (3rd gen - 64 gig)
keeps advising me that my Apple ID has been disabled - it doesn't say for security reasons
I have reset the device, changed my password twice, and left it overnight but it still will not allow me to update OR install any new apps (that have been paid for).
Does anyone have a phone number that I can call that will reach a person who can get it sorted out???

Unfortunately, I don't have a number, but if you go the apple.com/support/itunes, it'll give you the pathway to connect with iTunes support. You can also just go straight to Express Lane. Hope this helps!

I recently switched from an iPhone to an Android phone. I cannot receive text messages because Apple will not "release" my number from iMessage. I see others have had the same issue. How did you solve the problem, if you did?

How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?

To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

On an i Phone 4, how do you reply only to the sender of a text message which is sent to a group of people?

On an I phone 4, how do you respond only to the sender of a text message which has been sent to several people> Our replies always go to all the recipients of the original text. Thanks

Start a new text message only to that person, not in the group text.
