Can I use symbols in imessages???

Is there any way that I can use SYMBOLS in imessages or regular text??

Depends on how they are created. Some symbols created in special apps will only be visible to other users if they use that particular app. Just like how emojis were only visible for a time for those on iOS and with that keyboard installed. You couldn't see them on non-iOS devices. That has changed somewhat, but not for app creation.

How can you use symbols in Windows 7 on a IMac 27

How can you use symbols @$€%£¥ in Windows 7 on a IMac 27 mid 2011? I tried what was normally done on Windows and got nothing. Alt plus numbers and nothing happens, what am I missing?

Frosted Flake,
Are you referring to an equivalent to the Windows Character Map Application (charmap.exe) that allowed you to see the various characters available in each font, and then give you an ALT-nnn number you could key to use the character you wanted ?
If so you can use the Special Characters from the Edit menu of most applications. Once you have located the character/symbol you want double click it and it will be entered wherever you cursor is located in your application.

The iBook will not install Mac OS X 10.6 or higher due to not having an Intel processor.
With this, you wont be able to sync and iPhone 4,4s or 5 running iOS 6 or higher

Can I use FaceTime or iMessages to correspond to my tutor with its Skype ?

Hello !
I would like to use FaceTime or iMessages to talk to my tutor online but he has Skype.
Is it possible to correspond with him ?
Kind Regards,

Alright, after trying stuff for some irritating hours, I think I've got something you can use. I haven't figured out how to get it to run all the time.
(I must be an idiot becuase I can't find where to upload this file)
Automator application
Run Shell Script (ignore this actions input)
ioreg -n AppleSmartBattery -r | awk '$1~/Capacity/{c[$1]=$3} END{OFMT="%.2f%"; max=c["\"MaxCapacity\""]; print (max>0? 100*c["\"CurrentCapacity\""]/max: "?")}'
Set Value of Variable
Variable: new variable... (I called it Battery Life)
Run AppleScript
on run {input, parameters}
if input is less than "3.00" then tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true and local volume is true)
return input
end run

Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date & time in the settings area. Why does tha button turn off?

I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

Can I use messages and iMessage of my iphone as one account?

I am using my apple ID for my messages, and it's separated from my iphone's iMessage,
Is there any way that I can merge the two account so that all chats could be appear together on both devices ?
THANKS !

If I am putting your post together properly, it sounds like you have two Apple ID's.
At this time, apple does not support "merging" the two Apple ID's. You will simply have to begin using one alone for all your devices.
I see that the Mac Messages Beta supports more than one account, but not more than one account of a particular type, either.

How do I delete or change my number in my old iPhone, so that I can still use it for iMessages without issue?

I have an iPhone 4S that was with Verizon. About a week ago I ported into Virgin Mobile and bought a new phone to use until the next iPhone comes out. I now still have my old iPhone, which I want to use for iMessages, as well as like an iPod, etc.
The issue I am seeing is that my phone number is still registered to my iPhone and I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or change it. The problem this is causing is it is making my iPhone sometimes intercept messages from those with iMessage who are texting my phone number. The messages should be going to my new phone, not my iPhone, since they are texting my phone number (not my iMessage email) and my iPhone has no service connected to it.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to say: the other day I texted a guy selling an item online. I used my new phone to text him, not my iPhone. He texted me right back, but the text went to my iPhone, not my new phone. We then texted each other via iMessage and no texts were making it to my new phone.
I think this is also causing some messages to not go through on my new phone either, where I'm just simply not getting texts from people sending me messages. My iPhone isn't getting the messages, nor is my new phone.
What I need to do is delete my number or put a random number in my phone so that I don't keep missing or losing texts. I saw the ways recommended to disconnect your number from iMessage, but that then kills my ability to use iMessage on my iPhone. There must be a way that the number in my iPhone can be changed or deleted. We are in 2013 I think, and this was something I always had the option of changing via manual programming on every phone I've had since 1902 or so.
How to do this?!

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

I can't use facetime or imessage after downloading ios 7.

After downloading IOS 7 on my Ipod Touch 5, I could no longer use Imessage or facetime. I go to my facetime app and it opens with asking for my apple ID et al and then comes up
"FaceTime Activation
Could not sign in. Please check your
network connection and try again."
When I go to my imessage app the SAME thing occurs.
There is NOTHING wrong with my internet connection. Safari is going online no problem. How can I fix this?

Change your iPod DNS to 8.8.8.8
That should work. Cheers

I'm wondering if ichat can be used to do imessages on the newer apple devices?

Hello, I was just wondering if ichat on the older computer would be compatible with imessages on the newer computers and other apple devices, like ipads and ipod touchs and the newer computers in the house. The older computer has os x version 10.4.11, it has ichat on it. I was wondering if ichat was not compatible with imessages on the newer devices, can someone tell me, thanks.

Hi,
iChat Is compatible with the Messages App on Mountain Lion and Above.
BUT... Only in the accounts it already has.
That is to say that if you have iChat 5 in Snow Leopard you have the ability to have AIM and Jabber Accounts (which include GoogleTalk and Facebook Chat IDs).
If you have iChat 6 in Lion then you also have the Yahoo option.
All have the LAN based Bonjour account.
If people with Messages are only using the iMessages accounts then iChat cannot join these conversations.
As you mention iPads and other iOS devices I presume you mean this option which will not work for you.
iChat 3 - 5
iChat 6
Messages (all Ver)

Can I use symbolic links to share abook.mab file for two users

If I delete any of the .mab files from one user profile and replace it with a symbolic link that points to the same file in the other profile will this synchronise my address books for the two profiles. I have win7.
The object is to have two Windows User accounts sharing all the same email data. I have already have them pointed at the same message store.
I also wish to know if deleting a .mab file will only cause it to be re-created.
I am hesitant to experiment.
Thanks

Deleting any of the two default mab files, abook.mab (Personal Address Book) or history.mab (Collected Addresses) will result in new, empty files with these names being recreated automatically when TB is restarted.
There are some ideas for sharing address books here:

How can I use a new mobile number under the same Apple--ID?

Hello there.
Since few days I habe an 5S with a new number. But I can't use FaceTime or iMessage with it. Im Setzlings is still my old number and I can't change it. When I logged in in my Apple-Account and changed my number and saved it, there is still my old number at the settings. Do you have an idea?
TA.

Log out of your Apple ID with iMessage at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID. Select your Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out. Follow this by turning iMessage off.
Turn iMessage back on and try to re-authorize your iPhone with your Apple ID with iMessage which should register your new cell phone number.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for iMessage/Facetime that is not the same as my iCloud ID?

I have one Apple ID for iCloud that is used on multiple devices. Each user has their own Apple ID for Store purchases. Can I use my Apple ID that is NOT my iCloud ID as a way to get my iMessages/FaceTime on multiple devices?

To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
Help?!?!

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Hi,
Right at this minute I am having a nightmare with this as well.
I have two.
One users the older original Apple ID I was talking about and the other uses the @me.com name I created
Yesterday I notice that the older ID iPhone was saying it was not doing iMessages and needed to be set to do so.
The "Waiting for Activation" spun for ages. My Mac Messages app had "lost" the iPhone Number.
It was late when I discovered this and today I left the phone at work.
With my Second phone it was also saying it was not Connected to the iMessages server.
It too said "waiting for Activation"
When it did send a Message to the Mac the iPhone Number here was Greyed out and I could not set it as the Send From ID.
I set it about 7.30PM here and it still says "Waiting for Activation" even thought it shows the no present iPhone number as an Option and the two Apple IDs and I can receive and Send iMessages.
I still can't use the iPhone's Own Number !!!
So it has been doing this for at least 2 and 1/2 hours.
Even tried resetting it with no Apple ID so it would "register" the iPhone Number.
Bizarrely it is showing the Absent iPhone's number as a Alias.
I am wondering if you can only register one iPhone Number.
I was trying to keep one iPhone out of the Sync process but it seems to have gained the other IDs whether I enter them or not.
At present I cannot work out if the apps on the iOS devices are failing, whether the Mac version is at fault or if it is a Server thing.
As it was set up and was working I am presuming the server is the issue as we also have not had Updates.
As for providing an Answer I am stuck myself right this minute.
