TS4268 I am on friends account and somehow when set up an iPad our messaging became intertwined. If I message someone else he gets it as well and if he messages himself I get it to? Worked on this all day and we can't figure it out . Any ideas?

I am part of a friends AT&T package for iPhone. 4s and we started having a problem when a message I sent to another friend ended up on his iPad and this other friend messages me and the person whose phone package I am on also got this message. The friend whose phone I am linked to has sent messages to himself that have come to me. Seems like something is mixed up here and it is out of the blue because I have been on his phone plan for years without any mix ups? Any idea as we worked on this all day and can't get it fixed?

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasn't low and it has been like this all day. What can I do to fix it??

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasnt low when it happened. It has been like this all day. What can I do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Range extension works but not for wireless.  I can't figure it out.

    I have a problem I have not seen elsewhere:  I have dsl hooked up to an Airport Extreme, which works great in our house.  However, we have a studio / office that is about 100 feet away.  I have no problem extending the range (wirelessly) with an Airport Express so that my husband can get the internet on his computer, which is a desktop and attached by an ethernet cable to the Express.  The problem is that THERE IS NO WIRELESS signal available in the studio.  I have tried adding another Extreme to a different socket and even moved the Express with no luck.  Am I weakening the signal by somehow channeling it all into the desktop?  I just don't get it.  I would love to be able to use the intenet capabilities that are on the 50" HD tv in there, as well as use my laptop / wireless capabilities on my cellphone, but nada.  Not to mention that I have one expensive Extreme sitting unused (and out of the returnable time window.)
    I would certainly appreciate any ideas - But please make them simple because I don't always understand technological lingo.  Thanks!

    I am assuming that the SNR reading of 27 was taken at the location of the Express with the Express powered-off so that we are only reading the signal quality of the Extreme ... correct?
    If so, in general the Extreme has a "better" antenna design over the Express. I would second your suggestion to using a second Extreme to extend the first to see if this improves the Wi-Fi situation at the office location. Another option is to move the Express a bit closer to the Extreme.

  • Some emails are coming in on my iPhone, but all of them are on my MacBook.  Can't figure it out.

    some emails are coming in on my iPhone, but all of them are on my MacBook.  Can't figure it out.
    any idea why this might be happening?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you do need iPhoto, or at least for the following: Plug it into the computer with the USB plug you get with it, and iTunes will automatically open. It doesn't matter if you keep it open or not, because you'll import them to iPhoto. When you open iPhoto, it will automatically go to your iPhone's inventory of photos. Choose a photo that you wish to import (or click import all), type in the titile, and click import. A pop-up message will come up that asks if yu want to keep originals. Click yes, and viola. Your photos are on your computer! Hope this helps.

  • Please need help, working on this for days..

    Hi, I currently have two laptops trying to connect to the internet through a router (obviously)..One of my laptops has an external linksys card, and can connect to the internet just fine. The other laptop...which is the one I REALLY want to connect to the internet is unable to, and has an internal card. But even though the internet does not show up..it will say that the network is connected after I run a program called WinsockFix. The network is using WEP 64-bit encryption, and the type of connection is PPoE. My question is...how come I can get the network to say connected, but not be able to access the internet? Also the laptop is able to get internet and connect to other linksys routers if I try. Please, I've been working on this for days, and have been successful with everything I have done, and help is greatly appreciated.!

    But how can that be if its connecting to the right network? Even if it was how would I correct this problem...I mean even if I wire the laptop to the modem and router still nothing shows up...how can this be? All I get is that the page cannot be displayed.

  • I have been using itunes all day and then it wanted me to install a newer version.  When I did it said I can't because it's missing mdsvr80 or something so i downloaded that now it has another error.  How do I get itunes back the way it was or to work?

  • I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone?

    I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem?  tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."  Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed.  Any suggestions?  Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck.

    When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."  Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed.  Any suggestions?  Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck.  I think I may have hit Upgrade the first time.  I really need this to be fixed ASAP.  Thanks for your help.

    Assuming iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone.  No record of it at all.  Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there.  Any way to restore it?  Thanks.

    My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone.  No record of it at all.  Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there.  Other projects are still there.  Any way to restore it?  Thanks.

    I figured it out!!!
    Hey guys! Here's what I did that saved my project.
    -SHORT VERSION-
    Use the Finder window on your Mac to copy and paste your old project (the one not showing up in imovie) to a new folder so that iMovie will see it.
    -LONG VERSION-
    CONDITIONS:
    The project has to exist on your hard drive. To see if it's hiding around somewhere go to:
    Home (your name)>Movies>iMovie Library (right click and select Show Package Contents)
    In the iMovie Library folder (the default is usually the date) open it to see if your Project is inside. If it is, you are in luck!
    RESTORING PROJECT:
    Open iMovie
    start a new folder under the iMovie Library (again, the default is usually todays date)
    Close iMovie
    In the finder window (as explained above in the CONDITIONS section) select the files and folders of your project and copy them (in my case these consist of folders called Analysis Files, Original Media, "MYPROJECT", Render Files, Shared Items)
    There should now be a folder with today's date in that Show Package Contents folder.
    Paste a copy of your project;s files into this folder.
    When it is done copying, open up the "Original Media" folder and all of your images and clips should be present.
    reopen iMovie. Your project should show up in the Libraries list.
    *If your full project isn't showing in the iMovie timeline (mine just had empty bubbles where all my clips and audio should be) try dragging and dropping the clips and images from the project's "Original Media" folder into the import section of your project. Once the files were reimported, iMovie recognized them all and put them back in the correct place for me.
    Hope this helps someone!
