I know receiving your text messages are important, airboss98. From wehat you've described, the people sending the messages are not sending as text but as iMessages. Are those certain messages being send from other Apple devices? If you have the same Apple ID logged into your iPad as what was active on your iPhone 4s, the iMessages will still be delivered to the remaining device. Did you change to a non-Apple device? If so, you can de-enroll your phone number from Apple's servers by texting the word STOP to 48369. It may take up to 48 hours for them to remove the number, but then you should begin receiving the messages again.

Is there anyway to manage my contacts or an app so that I can temporarily block text messages at certain times of the day?

Hi,
I am wanting to block text messaging that I sometimes receive from clients after hours, and I want to know is there an app like there is for android phones that has lists that you can create so certain people can be sent an auto reply when they send you a message?
I don't want to block the numbers completely just at weekends and/or after hours and I still want to be able to receive phone calls from those numbers as an option.
I am on the Vodafone NZ network
Thanks

You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.

Hi there! Question; recently (2 days ago), I began receiving text messages on my phone that says urgent and is from 6250. The only other text that it lists is VZWNMN:1 I don't know how to block this from my phone and have no idea what the heck it is!

Okay, so a couple of days ago I began getting these weird texts to my phone from 6250. The text reads VZWNMN:1
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT THIS IS? I've RECEIVED AT LEAST 50 OR MORE AND THEY KEEP COMING! Anyone out there have any idea how to stop them or block them?

2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?

2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?
I was always able to go into the particular text that I wanted to save. Press on the text and it would give the option of either copy, more or speak. I would click more and on the far left side the text would be checked and I was able to click and check multiple texts within. Once I had selected what I wanted to send to my email account. I would click on the arrow on the bottom right side and a new screen would come up I would tap within and all the text messages that I checked would appear and I would then enter my email address and hit the send and it would appear in my email send box. NOW I CAN”T DO THIS.. I have been on the phone with Apple 3 times with no reason… Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,

Without knowing what settings you are currently using, its impossible to say what has gone wrong.

4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

First, I would avoid listening to NBC as a source for tech news. They've proven that they are not a responsible source for that kind of thing. See:
NBC severely overhypes Sochi hacking story
Second, the SSL issue is solved by upgrading to iOS 7.0.6, as Allan points out. Plug in your phone, open the Settings app and go to General, then Software Update. Download and install the update from there. You can also download it on your computer, in iTunes, and install through sync, but that download will be larger, since it's not specific to your device.
Finally, note that you still cannot trust e-mail... anything you put in an e-mail might as well be put on a postcard. SSL encryption only protects the transmission of username and password, when it comes to e-mail... the contents of the messages sent and received are not encrypted, and can be read (or even modified) by anyone between you and the sender/recipient. The only way to protect your e-mail is through some kind of signing and encryption, such as S/MIME.

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASA

julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

Re: Can I request to get the content of old text messages

Can I recover text messages from an old Iphone that has now been wiped? Some of my messages got lost in between the process of turning my old phone in for a new one-which I have since restored from a backup a few days old

In the process of exchanging my defunct Iphone for a new one, some important text messages were lost. The messages obviously did not transfer over to my new phone as I had to restore my new phone from a backup performed a few days ago. Is there a special trick that will allow me to somehow enter my cell number, since it is still the same, in order to recover texts that were received in between wiping my old phone and getting a new one?

You can use an iPhone file explorer such as TouchCopy to get the messages off the old phone. But you can't put them on the new phone as messages. You could put them in a pdf file that you could read on the new phone.
Normally when you get a new phone the first thing you should do is transfer the contents of the old phone to it (Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support)). Then the problem does not arise. You are even prompted to do this when you activate the new phone. Once you have started using the new phone without doing this it is too late.
To tell Apple your concern go to http://apple.com/feedback. This is a user to user forum; Apple does not read or participate in it.

I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

HT5047 I have downloaded Mr. Fone, my question is there anyway I can retrieve deleted text messages from months ago? I have the phone almost two years.

I would just like to know if I can retrieve any of my old text messages? I have downloaded that Mr. Fone, but not really too computer savvy and just looking for direction.

I have no real faith in these alleged data recovery tools. If the text messages were deleted months ago and you were still using the device, the chances are slim, even if that program works.

How can we get Apple to do a better job on iCal? Now we can't even specify snooze times. Please give us the flexibility we need--minute, hour, day, week, month, year alerts that we can set for each event we add to our calendar.

I'm liking Mountain Lion a lot so far, except for the new iCal performance. iCal has never been as good as the MS Office calendar, not even as good looking much less flexible and, for me at least, a lot less intuitive. And that points to another big problem Apple's increasing totalitarianism has created: I would change back to the MS Office calendar in a micro-second if it weren't for the fact that Apple has never created a way for us to coordinate our iPhones with the Office calendar. My life with Apple goes back to the birth of the Mac and it at once gives me chuckles and fits of righteous indignation that for decades Apple criticized (and sued) Microsoft for its attempts to channel users of its products to other MS products by making 'third party' products not work well with MS software. There's a lot of truth to the idea that Apple is becoming a bully in its steady insistence on giving us fewer and fewer ways of putting together software and hardware sets that we think are the best for us. Whatever happened to Apple's free spirit!?!?!?!?
I can do all the whinging above because Apple has always built exceptional products and because even now its service performance is fifty times as good as any other company I do business with. If you doubt that, just try to get any kind of support from Microsoft.

No point in whinging here, we are all just users. Use Apple feedback.

HT4528 About 30 minutes ago, my iphone 4 screen just went white. It still shows the time, signal and battery at the top, but everything else is white. I can't receive calls/text messages. My phone will not lock or turnoff, but it will charge. HELP!!

I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!

Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

After deleting some unnecessary Apps in my Macbook Pro, I plugged my thumb drive to discover that I can't open my files, which I normally can, because they've turned into ".lnk" files. Please help.

I have files in my thumb drive that I cant open. Inside my thumb drive, I've organized files in folders but I have files I havent put in folders yet. Those files turned into .lnk files.
My theory is, my thumb drive caught a virus from another laptop because I copied files from my colleagues laptop.

There are no viruses for a Mac, new theory required. .lnk files are aliases to a file, what did you delete?

5 or 6 days I ago I discovered that I can't receive text messages frfom certain phones which I could do previously on my iPhone 4s, why?
