switched to galaxy 3 and cant' get texts from people that used to imessage me. I have tried everything but swtiching my phone number.
If you no longer have access to your iPhone, you will need to contact Apple for help deactivating your phone number from their iMessage system so those with iPhones will send normal text messages to your phone number instead of iMessages.

iOS: Deactivating iMessage
Symptoms
If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to deactivate iMessage:
You can't receive SMS on your non-Apple device when another person sends them using an iPhone.
You can't send SMS to a non-Apple device because they send as an iMessage.
Resolution
If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.
Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)? Could be an issue at their end.

If both you and the person you are texting have iMessage, and that person's phone is dead... Will it/Can it still be sent as an imessage? I am getting different answers from people. I want to know if this person was being untruthful about there phone being truthful.
IF that is the only iDevice activated for that recipient, then no. It should not successfully send as an iMessage if the phone is powered off or has no data connection. If you have Send as SMS turned on, it should automatically fallback to SMS after a few minutes. Of course, they won't get this until they power on their phone, assuming they have a text messaging plan with their carrier.

I have a 15 inch mac book pro running osx 10.5.8. I recently moved to Florida and switched to Comcast (the only option). Now when I access my bank website, I can get past the login to my account page but the data is permanently unavailable. The bank says no one else has this problem. Everything is up to date as far as software is concerned. . .I just update anything that comes up. I have not had this problem with this computer anywhere else and I am not having a problem with any other website. I have the problem with both Safari and Google Chrome.

I turned off MMS today and suddenly all my text messages dissapeared from SMS 'inbox'. switched the iphone 4s on and off many times, nothing. If I search for an old text message by text I can see it, but it's not in the box of SMS

I have an android and all of a sudden all my contact are gone. How can I get them back?
If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.
