Imessage on my computer not communicating with my phone.

Imessage on my computer not communicating with my phone. In my computer settings my phone number is no longer an option, just my email. How do I get it back?

HI,
I had this.
On checking the iPhone the iPhone Number was not ticked and the whole option to change it was greyed out.
I removed the Apple ID and waited to see if th Number got ticked (Settings > Messages > Send and Receive).
It did not.
I put the iPhone in Airplane Mode
After a few minutes I "restarted" the iPhone by turning off Airplane Mode
This time the Number was ticked.
I Added the Apple ID and then restarted Messages on the Mac.
I soon got the pop message about the iPhone using it's Number and the Apple ID and Accepted.

  • Computer not communicating with printer(s) scanner

    I recently hooked up an Officejet  J6480 wireless printer. I also have a J5780 hooked up via USB. After hours, and I mean hours,  of being on-line with Tech Support through Chat and uninstalling and reinstalling, several times, and trying numerous things, neither printer has communication with the computer for scanning. The J6480 will scan if you go through Paint so it is functioning. The J5780 I haven't tested. I have downloaded drivers and every other thing that was suggested and the computer is not communicating with the printer for scanning. I have a Dell computer Inspiron 530S and am running Windows Vista (32)  May I also say, that I disable the Firewall & Virus programs when downloading, etc. so it doesn't interfer. I have tried everything but dynamite to get the scanner to respond. I've downloaded the Patch suggested in the drivers listings and everything. Im beside myself because the J5780 scanned fine until I installed the J6480. Now the window on the printer says there are no scan settings available in the window on the printer. Chat Techs, I think, are beside themselves too. I uninstalled the J5780, installed the J6480 and then went into 'Add a Printer'. Everything went fine except the scanner. I get a message from Solution Center saying there is no communication between the computer and the scanner. I think something is missing here. If anyone knows a solution I would be more than grateful. HELP!!!!

    Did you do an L3 uninstall of all HP software and start from scratch?  The L3 uninstaller should be on the install CD's for each printer.  You may have to do a search of the CD to find it.
    Tell me what router, ISP and encryption type you are using?  Also, what kind of security software are you using?
    Have you done a WIndows Update and updated your security system?  Do that between the L3 uninstall and the re-install.
    There is a lot going on here.  I'll hang in there with you...

  • Computer not communicating with printer

    This morning my HP Pavallion downloaded some new updates and installed.  After that I consistently get messages of "No communications with printer".  It will not communicate with either my printer or pdf writer printer.
    I have rebooted computer 2-3 times, restarted printer 2-3 times and still have the issue. 
    In an earlier note I noticed a recommendation of going back to the original computer program before the updates.  I would I do that?
    Any recommendations for a fix?

    Hey @papamkoch  and @glendodom ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    If you're looking to do a system restore to before the issue started (which I agree is a great idea) you will want to check out this document: 
    System Restore - Windows 7
    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC - Windows 8
    These documents cover the steps to access the restore. If a restore doesn't work you can also try a recovery which will put the unit back to it's original factory condition.
    Let me know if the restore works!
    Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!

Please Help!!! I thnk i changed a seeting that is making it not connect. I tried turning off the firewall after i had realized but it still did not work.

  • Computer not communicating with keyboard

    Both my computer and I are old, but I was hoping my computer would outlast me. Its a iMac PowerPC G3, 450 MHz, Memory 576MB, System 10.2.8 (I updated it a long time ago).
    I can't get any keyboard to work with it. I've been using the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard with a wireless mouse and that was working fine for a long time. I do remember dumping OS 9. I've taken it to a Mac repair shop and they couldn't figure it out. The mouse will click so I can open something, but I can't type any words. I also can't zap the PRAM because holding down those keys doesn't communicate anything to the computer. We tried it with a new Ergonomic Keyboard with no results. At the repair shop, they tried it with several of their keyboards with no response. I also can't add anything new to the computer, like a printer installation disc or a program, because it requires the administrator password, and that won't record. Has anyone heard of this before or have any ideas, or should I take it in for a CT scan next time I go? I would greatly appreciate any help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    hmm Im not really a a tech export or no anything about the HP all in one models but with most computers you can buy a replacement keyboard that if the computer has the right ports such as a usb port you can plug in a new keyboard.

  • My  MacBook is not communicating with my desk top to enable printing from my MacBook. I need to find out how to make that happen. I have a static IP address on my desktop but don't know what to do on the Mac Book.

    My MacBook is not connecting to the host computer for the printer. The host computer has a static IP address which is different from the IP address that the laptop is looking for. How do I change the laptop so that it looks for the host computer's correct IP? The laptop is connected to the router. I know this because I can get on the internet with the laptop.

    The host computer is Dell and the operating system is Windows 7.  The printer is an Epson, and it is wired to the host computer with a USB cable. It does have host printing turned on.
    The three have been working harmoniously for a long time.  The router had to be reset; and after that, the MacBook documents would no longer print.
    We created a new static IP address on the Dell but the MacBook is not recognizing it.  We have researched the internet trying to figure out how to make the MacBook locate and recognize the correct IP address from the Dell so they can communicate with each other.  The laptop is not communicating with the host computer because is is looking for the wrong IP.  The host IP is 192.168.1.245 and the laptop is looking for 192.168.15.237.
    I hope everything is clear.  The person who originally set it up is no longer available to help me.  Thank you for any help you may give me.

  • My addressbook is not communicating with iTunes!!HELP!!

    I can't sync my IOS devices with my last version of the address book! I updated my address book in my Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 and then it is not communicating with iTunes. I tried the 28 step troubleshooting to this issue, my iTunes cache is clean but still not syncronizing...

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

  • My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my  computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

    I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • Help DSCC agent not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat?!

    Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution on system running Solaris10 11/08.
    Cannot get DSCC to work with either AppServer or Tomcat.
    Both AppServer & Tomcat deploy DSEE WAR file and I can look at things that I have manually registered via command line. Cacao agent is running it is just not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat so it cannot commit any actions such as starting and stopping directory instances or creating new directories instances within the web app.
    Is this a bug that occurs only when doing a new install using the Zip Distribution?
    The Error message I get regardless if Appserver or Tomcat is:
    "Could not contact the DSCC agent on <server>. Use the command cacaoadm to check that the DSCC agent is installed and running on port 11169."
    I changed to port 11169 because it had a conflict on default port 11162.

    I started over and installed Glassfish and everything just worked. After the fact I think the real problem was related to the server.policy file. I think this was the problem because using the default appserver 8.2 that comes with Solaris has a different path and I got this same error when tried using tomcat also. When installing glassfish it uses this default path as in the server.policy example as follows so it just worked.
    Add the following lines in the {install-dir}/domains/domain1/config/server.policy file
    // Permissions for Directory Service Control Center
    grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/DSCC/-"
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    Hope this helps some as I was really stuck and confused at the time and just started playing with the stuff. Growing pains. Thanks to those that replied.
    Thanks!

  • SAP BI Client tools are not communicating with BO server

    Hi Experts,
    We've recently installed BI 4.1 . We're having few issues:
    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    6. We can't see SAP Lumira and SAP Dashboard on Service market place to install. Where we can find these software on Service maket place?
    7. Could someone please send screenshot to install Dashboard, Lumira, Analysis office and Crystal report enterprise and crystal report 2013.
    8. Do we need to install all these on client machine?
    9. Could you please give me software list which should be installed on client machine?
    10. As i know there is life cycle management tool but it is not even available from server side not even on client side. Could you please recommend how it can be installed??
    Thanks in advance.

    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    Could you confirm that you are able to ping the BO server from Client machine. Also use telnet command from commandline of  CMD in client machine. It will help to confirm that port communication is successful. Use ipaddress:cmsport for the system while logging into the client software. Update the hosts file entries at client machine with BO server name and ip address. Create an exception for BO installation location at client machine and check the results
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    Check on the server side first where your web server is installed (I am assuming tomcat in your scenario). Use http://serverame:8080/BOE/BI and http://servername:8080/BOE/CMC (8080 is default port. If it has been changed use the correct port).
    If its working well. Perform the same activity using ipaddress:8080 at server. Next chek whether using the same URL you are able to get BILaunchPad and CMC pages and able to login from the same.
    6. We can't see SAP Lumira and SAP Dashboard on Service market place to install. Where we can find these software on Service maket place (https://service.sap.com)?

    Look into the admin guide for installation pre-requisites. These are available at Analytics Knowledge Center
    We have a drop down for all products. Look for the guide and proceed with the installation.
    8. Do we need to install all these on client machine?
    Dashboard,Lumira,analysis office, CRE and CR2013 are client tools and hence need to be installed on client machine.
    We also have CRS 2013 which is a server software and has to be downloaded from service market place. The li

    These vary according to user requirements. Check with developers for their softwares needed

    In BI4.1 LCM comes by default. It is a server application. You can find it in CMC named as Promotion management and version management.
    Use the admin guide and installation guide for all of the above. It will help you.

    It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
    If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.
