Can I set an alarm to tell me I have a text message waiting to be read?

Got Iphone 3G recently. Had an old Motorola phone before. When a text message came, it gave a little 'bip' every minute or so to let me know it was there?
Is there such a function in the Iphone 3g?

Hi amybrooklyn,

If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.

I hope this information helps ....

Can't set an alarm

I can't set an alarm in ical. When I go to the 'Alarm' option it is light grey and the drop down says either add alarm or remove alarm. There is no email address or other alarm option. My home card in address book is fillled out correctly.

No you are required to do so.

On each device, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that each device is using separate addresses and phone numbers. If your email address is checked on both devices, Your husband will recieve everything he intends to send to you.
Do the same for FaceTime.

Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info. That will show me the contacts I sent the message to. It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids. The status shows:
Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group. So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone. If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something. Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it.

How can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.

You can activate iMessage on the old one so it can get your iMessages. The old phone will NOT recieve SMS/MMS messages sent to your number.

Can't set an alarm on Reminders.

I recently got the iPhone 5s, and have been having trouble with setting an alarm on the reminders app. When I set the date and time for the alarm, I hit done and I can see when the alarm is set for under the task. After about 5 seconds, the date disappears, and the alarm will no longer go off. Is there any way to fix this?

I think the problem is that reminders just doesn't work! Life's too short - The best thing is to stop wasting time trying to figure out a completely dysfunctional app until you hear that apple have reverted to the old one, or bought out a new one that does work.
There - I've saved you loads of time and angst!

Nokia E51 - Can't set clock alarm tone

Hey there people!
My device is Nokia E51, and for some, bizarre reason, I can't set the clock alarm tone.
When I choose the sub-menu "Clock alarm tone" a list of songs/audio files on the phone is supposed to load.... but nothing there. The phone doesn't even give me any options to choose from. I actually find this quite frustrating and annoying because I'm trying to do something very basic here.
I've attached a capture.
Thanks for helpers.
Solved!

Well the reason I asked about the large number of audio files is because it appears to be a common bug across many of nokias phones. When you have a large number of audio files (either on the card or on the phone itself) the phone apparently gets 'confused' and is unable to load up the selection of ringtones or music files to use as a ringtone.
The only solutions would be to either:
1) Delete songs until the ringtone menu goes back to normal
2) Do what you have done with copying it to the phone then removing the memory card to be able to select the file.. then reinsert the memory card
Nokia just needs to get their act together. They should seperate ringtones from the music files. This way when you go to select a ringtone.. it will ask to either choose a ringtone from a list.. or to select one of your mp3s from a list. This way keeping it seperate. But that would be extra menus to navigate and people probably wouldnt like it.
But if they did it that way then they could use the mp3 listings by album, artist, song title, etc to allow people to choose the music files they want as a ringtone. It would be easier to do that then continually scroll through huge lists

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini? Someone else is reading my emails. I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password. Is that possible? How?

So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.
