Switching off imessage for my number (no longer have an iphone but kept the same number)

Hello
I have recently transferred my number from an iphone4 to a Samsung phone.
I am unable to recieve text messages from anybody using an iphone
I have looked on the internet and found plenty of info on how to do this before the number transfers but no idea how to do it after the transfer.
I rang apple support and they are requesting a £25 charge before I can even get through to an advisor.
Is there anywhere I can email/call to get my number de-registered with apple?
Thank You
Natalie

ask for account security and tell them you need your # disassociated from iMessage.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

HT201328 Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

I got approval to unlock my 3GS from AT&T and in the process of updating the operating system. I am now using a iPhone 4 on my computer. I just want to know the following:
When I backup and restore the 3GS in order to unlock it, will it mess up my existing data backed up from my iPhone 4?
Can I upload data from my newer iPhone 4 onto my 3GS?

Trying to send file to someone who has cs3 but error occurs

Hi I have illustrator cs5 and I am trying to send a file to someone who has cs3, I saved it in a cs3 format but when they try to open it an error occurs saying, "could not find The linked file, choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to open another file, or ignore to leave file unchanged". Please help thank you.

This means that Illustrator cannot find the related files (external resources that you have used for the project, like photos etc...), because the path is changed.
Do you have to pass to your customers not only the illustrator file but also all the files used in that project. Then they have to choose the "repair" option and relink all the missed resources ( simply they have to go to the folders on their hard drive where these files are located and then relink them).
I hope this help

IMESSAGE PROBLEM. Switching from android to iphone

I'm having problems with my iPhone 4s . my carrier is tmobile. I can't receive messages from other iPhones and I'm looking for any suggestions out there to fix this problem for me. I tried resetting the network settings. I switched from android gs3 to this iPhone 4s. I just took out my sim card from the gs3 to the iPhone 4s. I shut off my imessage. I went to verify my account to the macbook t. See if I can plug it into to that imessage and it will start connecting but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

How do I stop sending iMessages to someone who no longer has an iPhone?

My friend and I both had iPhones, but she recently upgraded. Now when I text her, I have to turn iMessage off or the message would go to her old phone and not her new one. I want to be able to iMessage everyone else without having to switch it on and off. What can I do to change this?

If your friend no longer uses her old iPhone have her:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "edit products"
Click on the "x" to the right of the product.
Click "unregister"
This shoule deactivate her old iPhone with iMessage.

My iPhone is sending iMessages to someone who doesn't have an iPhone.

My friend's iPhone 4 was stolen two days ago. We're on the same plan. He activated his old non-iPhone to use in the meantime but my iPhone 4 keeps sending iMessages to him... which he's not receiving. I can turn off iMessages from the settings menu but then all my other iPhone pals will be getting texts from me instead of iMessages. I tried deleting him as a contact and then making a new one under his nickname thinking I could trick the phone into resetting it but it doesn't work... it still tries to send iMessages to him. Is there any way around this or am I just stuck until he gets another iPhone?

I just had this problem. I found this solution on a discussion board and it seems to have fixed the issue:
"So I finally realized (by accident) that you can tap on the text message you just sent, (the blue bubble imessage) and it'll ask "copy" or "send as sms"...and I chose send as sms.
After doing this about 5-6 times, it stopped automatically sending him imessages and started automatically sending him SMS messages instead!"

HT6378 Can I share my iCloud-Photo-Library with my wife, so that photos from my iPhone and all photos from my wifes iPhone are in the same Photo-Library?

I have a Apple-ID and my wife has her own Apple-ID, but I want to use only one iCloud-Photo-Library. Is that possible?
I have created a Family-Sharing, but when I now set Foto-Library to on at both of our iPhones, I have one Library for my wife and another one for me.
Is there a trick?

Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

Problem in sending emails to someone who has thesame domain

Hi Everybody,
First of all this is my first post and it is really impressing me seeing this great community for BB users.
Well, my colleagues in the company have some issue in sending internal emails "Same domain", we are not using BES, and we are on BIS.
After investigations I found out that they don't store their emails on Exchange Server, so I thought it would be the problem so I enabled the Exchange to keep a copy of their emails in the server and still not working. Rather than that they are able to send emails to anybody except their colleagues in the company. In addition, I'm able to do so myself and I have no issues in sending internal emails!
Really appreciate your help.
Tarek

More details, please.
Please read the JavaMail FAQ. Post the protocol trace if you can't figure it
out yourself.

Can I Video Chat with someone who has Gchat?

I have set up my gmail account in iChat, and am fully able to video chat with people who are also using ichat, but when I try to video chat with people who are using gchat (on PCs) and have video capability. Is there anyway to video chat with them besides opening up my gmail account and chatting through the web browser? I should be able to do it in one program right?

With Gtalk in iChat its Mac to Mac only for video.
