When I send a text using iMessage from my mini iPad, it selects a photo that I deleted from my MacBookPro (in Users

When sending iMessages using iPad mini an old photo that I've deleted from my MacBookPro in 'System Preferences/User&Groups' pops up with each iMessage I send. Genius Bar said iMessage was pulling this from iCloud and they recommended I change the photo inmy iCloud account, which I did. This did not help. Where could iMessage be gathering an old photo that's been deleted? Has anyone experienced this? and if so, is there a solution/fix?

I don't follow where this picture is appearing.  You have to go to some trouble to add a picture to an iMessage.  Might it be popping up from a contact name you are using that happens to have a picture associated with it in your contacts list?

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.

    When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.
    Is there any resolution to this issue?

    Yes, they are registered for iMessage and IOS 5.0.1 update. A few days ago (10-12 days) the group messaging was working fine, but now the messages are being delivered to the email inox instead of iMessage app.

  • Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they?

    Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they? Cannot find on pc or iTunes.

    X2 on King_Penguin's reply, however, those files are hidden by default.   I'm on Windows 7.  You'd click on your "Start", click on "Computer", click on "Organize" up on the top of the window and click on "Folders and Search Options".  Check off the "Show all Folders" under Navigation pane.  That will show all the hidden files.  Then you can follow the directions King wrote above.    Sorry, if you have a Mac, I don't know how to help you navigate to where the "Folders and Search Options" is.  Google should be a good resource.
    It's pretty simple once you find it.  I was moving my back up file from my lap top to my desk top because I wanted to begin syncing my ipad and iphone to my desk top.   Once I unhid the files, I copied it to a thumb drive, uploaded it to my desk top and voila.    Just make sure when you are done you check the box to hide the files again.  You don't want to leave them vulnerable.
    Hope this helps.

    The Ipdas are using IOS 6 and can text to other iphones by phone number or apple id. I have tried hard resets and did a full restore and still no success. I am using IOS 6.0.1 and have had the phone checked at our local Apple dealer and I took it to the local ATT store to be sure my phone plan was not an issue.

  • Did the update yesterday on my 4S. Now when I send a text or Imessage, there is no message sent sound.

    I updated my 4S yesterday. Now there is no sound indicating that a text or Imessage was sent. Even when a new message come in. Not the message alert tone, but the sound it makes when you leave a conversation open and a message comes in under that conversation. Best way I can describe it. I have looked through all the setting and have been unable to fix it.

    I found the problem. If you set your text alert tone to none. The phone will not make a message sent sound. I set it to Tritone and it started make the sound again.

  • Recovering photos that iTunes deleted from iPad.

    I just got a new mac computer and recently tried syncing all of my pictures on my iPad with iTunes. I've never backed up the iPad on iCloud or anything like that. When I clicked sync I noticed that step 1 said "Deleting Photos". Once it was done I looked through my iPad and noticed that about 100 pictures were missing. Why it deleted only some and not all I have no idea. But I really want those pictures back! I've tried googling and reading all the forums but everything I see is about recovering pictures from iPhones that have been backed up on iCloud. I tried one of those sites that are supposed to be able to recover anything from iTunes but when I clicked on my device it only showed the pictures that were not deleted from the beginning. I don't know what to do and I'm really upset that I've lost all of those pictures. Please help if you can!!

    What pics?
    If they were pics synced from your old computer, then they would indeed be deleted.  Just copy them from the old computer to the new one.
    If thye were pics you took with the ipad then you should have been importing them toyour computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • How to retrieve photos that were deleted from trash

    I deleted important Jpeg photos from iphoto and then emptied the trash.I have used FileSalvage and Odin software but they have proved ineffective as i have 32,000 + Jpegs in the hard drive.Any recommedations for a program with the ability to preview and sort these Jpegs ?

    If you definitely have recovered all the files and just want to view them at a glance http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter has a function to browse folders at a glance.
    If not, Prosoft Data Rescue can rescue what you need, and so can other tools on my user tip.
    The key is knowing whether or not you have all the files or not.  The problem when you don't have all the files, every action you take while the hard drive that had the trash is spinning could make the file harder and harder to recover.  With Data Rescue and similar tools, you add an external hard drive and boot off a DVD with a data recovery tool, and don't do anything with the hard drive except recover all the most recently deleted files.
