Until your phone number is verified and activated you won't be able to select it in Caller ID. (You will probably notice that it says "waiting for activation'" under iMessage.)  This has been widely discussed in this forum and there is no one solution that works for everyone.  If you search the forum for "iMessage waiting for activation" you'll get a number of posts on this; you may find a solution that will work for you.  Some of these include:
Go to Settings>General>Date & Time, make sure Set Automatically is set to On.
Be sure you are able to send and receive messages.
Call your carrier to see if they are blocking premium texts or third party texts.
Also make sure in Settings>General>Date & Time that Set Automatically is turned to ON.  If not turn it on then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Change the DNS servers on their wireless router to  8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (these are Google's Public DNS servers)

    I have just updated my software to 10.8.2 and now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

  • HT201210 Just updates itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • HT4972 I have just updated to iOS 6 on my iPad, and when it came back on, I cannot find Utube.  It was on the main screen.  Where is it now?

    I have just updated my new iPad to Iso 6, and when the iPad came back on, I cannot find the Utube icon?
    Is it still on my iPad?
    If so where will it be, or how can I get it back on?
    Thanks.

    Apple removed the YouTube connection.  Google has an app you can use but it needs some work.

  • I have just updated my iPhone to iOS7.0.4 and when I connect it to my iTunes it says I have to restore my iPhone?

    I updated my phone to the latest software and when I went to check if it had finished updating it asked me to connect to iTunes. I updated iTunes to the newest software too and then connected my phone. My phone stayed on the connect to iTunes screen and then it said I had to restore my iPhone because it was in recovery mode and I can't use my phone at all and I don't really want to restore my phone as I will lose everything as I haven't synced my iPhone for a while so I wont be able to get all data back.

    i got corrupted file and it could not do update via iTunes for IOS 7.0.4.  I did update directly from my iphone.  It got through perfectly; however, ONLY apps that were on the first page could be seen. The rest of the apps was gone.  Also, everything such as icon is magnified so big like 1/4 of the iphone 5s screen.  omg a scary moment came !
    I could not do anything even I tried to shut down by power button.   so I had to hold the home button and power button toghether to force it shut down.  It did shut down and restore to it normal condition as before.   Good luck to all with new IOS 7.0.4 update.

  • I've just updated my IOS to 5.0.1 and when some of my contacts call me there name doesn't appear.

    I have all contacts with the indicative, but if I remove the indicative the name appears but disappear in the message. I'm not the only person with this problem.
    Is this an iPhone probleme or an operator problem?
    Before the update everithing was working.

    As Apple announced in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod touch
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Went to update my software for my ipad 2 and it has been stuck on the conncet to itunes screen for hours. Can anyone help?

    I went to update my software for my iPad 2 and my ipad has been frozen for hours on the connect to itunes screen. I unplugged it and tried to recover it but it doesn't work. When I connect it back to my computer it says ITunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes.
    Can anyone out there help?

    If this message appears - did you try to restore it with iTunes?

  • I have just updated my software on my iPhone 4S to IOS7.0.4 now I have lost many of my contacts.   Can anyone suggest an easy way to reinstate them.  (Without having to add them all again as I don't know what I have lost until I need it).

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • I just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod

    i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    Did you try more than once? If so:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.
