Can not use imessage/facetime on new iPhone 5 and can not get iPhone 4s and 5 to remember any wireless networks.

Two weeks ago I got an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 5 from a local carrier in central and eastern Kentucky called Appalachian Wireless. We had our numbers ported with AT&T. My iPhone 4s can use imessage/facetime but my wife's iPhone 5 can not. It just says waiting for activation and after several hours it will then say activation unsuccessful please turn imessage/facetime off and back on to activate. When we got the iPhones my carrier said it could take 30 days to activate due to our numbers being ported. My 4s took less than 3 hours to activate imessage/facetime but my wife's 5 still hasn't activated. A few days ago we went back to our carrier to get a problem fixed with our regular text messaging and we informed of our problem with imessage/facetime and they told us the most it has taken to activate was 2 days. I know I can use an apple id/e-mail to use imessage/facetime but I want her number to show up. Also neither iPhone will remember our wireless network. Every time we leave our house and come back we have to go to settings and choose our network. Is there a way I can fix these problems and have her imessage/facetime activated and use her phone number and have our iPhones remember our wireless network?

As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here. 
Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched?  Seems rather unintelligent.

  • Can I use iMessage/FaceTime without a serial number on my Mac?

    I have a iMac that hade work done on it years ago. It no longer has a serial # in theabout this mac window. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion in part to use iMessage and especially FaceTime. I cannot get either program to work. I read online that these applications need to see your serial number to work. Someone said that the Apple store could do it, but I do not live anywhere neer an Apple store, or a store that works on Macs.
    The computer was purchased directly from apple in 2007, it is not a stollen machine.
    How can I figure out what my serial number is and get the applications to recognize it. If not can I activate iMessage and FaceTime?
    Thank you for the help.

    HI,
    There was a thread that contained so called "Hackintosh" users who also had difficulty.
    There was a Post in this thread that suggested someone had posted a workaround on a "Hackintosh" site.
    Although not clear what the "fix" was for these users several people in the Apple thread said that it worked.
    This implies that there should be a fix.
    It is also claimed that there are two apps "out there" that can help you to "write" to the place the Serial Number is installed on a  one time only basis.
    It suggests that there are broader "fixes"  but that the Serial Number has to be there.

  • Can I use imessage with an apple ID which is not connected to any iphone / iPad ?

    Hay dude. I have just upgraded to Mavericks in my macbookpro. I have used an apple ID to log in to my imessage. That Apple ID is not connected to any iphone/iPad. Can I still use that apple ID to use my imessage feature and send free message to my friends for free?  If yes, Then how ?
    Your help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
    Waiting to hear from you.

    Thanks Dude
    I have done the set up already but still unable to send message. I just can send message to myself. So I am asking here.
    Can I still use that apple ID to use my imessage feature and send free message to my friends for free?

  • I bought photoshop for my laptop but it crashed. Can I use it on my new home computer?

    I bought photoshop for my laptop but it crashed. Can I use it on my new home computer?

    Not enough information.  What EXACT version of Photoshop?  Are both machines the same platform, i.e. both either Mac or Windows?
    Generally speaking you are allowed two installations on two different machines that are not used simultaneously. Up to CS6, the two installations have to be on same platform machines, either Mac or Win.  In CC and later, they can be one each on different platforms.
    It is very important for you to contact Adobe to deactivate the installation that "crashed" (please elaborate).
    You are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Can no longer see any wireless networks

    Hello,
    I've had my macbook for just under a year now and have never had a problem seeing/connecting to any wireless networks in the past. However, over the past few days I have had issues connecting to my router. It keeps kicking me off every 15 or 20 minutes and when I try to reconnect it often gives me a timeout error. I have reset the router countless times and have even reset it to factory settings and triple checked that the firmware is up-to-date. I felt it was a router issue until this morning; it kicked me off so I reset my router and turned my airport off&on but now I cannot even see the network nor the other 10 (or so) networks that are typically viable. Since I cannot even see the wireless networks across the block anymore I seems like this has to be a computer issue (or at least the computer has to be involved to some degree).
    I've tried to make an appointment at the genius bar but they are booked solid, as in they don't have any available appointments available at any time, even days in the future. Has anyone seen this problem before? Is my wireless card is on the fritz? Does anyone know of any potential software issues that could cause this?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can skip the Genius Bar and just call AppleCare directly.
    However, a couple of suggestions:
    • create a new location in your Network preferences; does the problem persist?
    • create a new user and log in to that account; does the problem persist?
    This one's more extreme: Do an Archive and Install, which will completely reinstall the system but preserve user accounts and data:

    If these don't help, then it may well be hardware.
    Good luck!

  • HT1689 can i use imessage if all 4 iphones on my itunes account all use the same email address

    can i use imessage if all 4 of my family's iphones use the same i tunes account?

    Hello, gio4360. 
    Thank you for the question.  It is common for people share an Apple ID for the iTunes and App Store.  However, it is recommended that you use a separate Apple ID specifically for iMessage, Facetime and iCloud.  The reason for this is because anyone that shares the same Apple ID for iMessage will receive all iMessages.
