TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

TS4268 What does it mean 'This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time'?

I have iMessage to my friend successfully before. But yesterday when I tried to iMessage him again, these words appear 'This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time? What does it mean?

Thanks for this thread. I had the problem too. It was very frustrating because he's overseas and we iMessage a few times per week.
The reason it was broken: the specific contact had changed his AppleID password and had not updated it on his iPhone.
The solution that worked for us:
He reset his AppleID (c.f.: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624)
He updated the password at iPhone (iOS7) >> Settings >> Messages
He updated the password at iPhone >> Settings >> FaceTime
I reset my network settings: my iPhone (iOS7) >> Settings >> General >> Reset >> Reset Network Settings
He didn't have to reset his network settings, and neither of us powered our iPhones off/on.

What does it mean if you get a 150:30 error ... and who can I get help from? I have the photoshop and can't open

What does 150:30 message error mean? Where can I find a number to call for help

That might be me
I see this a lot in CS4 and Mac. It means something damaged the License verification. Usually a move from another Mac or from Time Machine.
Two choices: Reinstall using your discs and your serial number. The easiest choice.
Or try the 150:30 fix using Terminal and the License Recovery scripts. 150:30 Start with post 11.
I would not recommend it if you have never worked with Terminal scripts.
It would be the last resort if you lost your serial number.

What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it I plugged in to charge and tryed to turn on and all it shows is the Itunes icon a picture of the cord. What does this mean? Cant get it to do anything else

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it. I have been charging it for about 2 hours and when I try to turn it on it shows the Itune icon and the plug thats it wont do anything else. Any suggestions on what to do?

iPads are devices and not PCs, so it needs a functioning relationship with a PC to work.
Download iTunes onto your PC, then connect your iPad to that PC. That should get you started.

HT1386 I keep getting a message while downloading purchased music into Ipod that reads " U can download past purchases on this device with just 1 apple ID every 90 days. can b used with another apple ID in 42 days" what does that mean? cant get music on

I have purchased an album and its on my computer in library, plays there and on Ipod as downloaded but cant get it in to music. also havent been able to get my music that I download into hard drive to sync either, afraid to restore [reset] because with have to re-download all of my cd s again. HELP

It means exactly what it says. For redownloading via iCloud (which is what you are doing).
Computers and devices can be associated with a different Apple ID once every 90 days. Days remaining indicates the number of days before you can associate that specific computer or device with a different Apple ID.

What does this mean my computer gets that sign that your computer overheated or something

Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.
