Does imessage use the normal sms part of the iphone?
Does imessage use the normal sms part of the iphone? I am asking since when using imessage I get pictures properly displayed but on normal sms service my service provider sends me a text to say I have received a MMS log into their site to view which cannot be right?
No, iMessages are sent over the Internet via Apple's servers. It is nothing to do with your service providers SMS service.
Check with your service provider that MMS is configured correctly on your account.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage and then attach a photo or take a photo... the app does not show the camera fully or even to attach a photo does not work. I have about 8-9000 phones and like 10 short videos in there but it is incredibly slow and almost unable. I have the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus with 46 gb still available. I think this should not be so slow with so much memory still available. Please help. I am using 8.1.2. Yes I have set up the phone as a new phone. Apple store even reformatted this iphone 6 plus 2 months ago but it is still terribly slow Thanks
Hey Bender1031,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,

Does imessage use data when not in a wifi conection?
how does imessage send a message? does it use the phone signal and send like a normal text message, or does it use the #g network and wifi conection? if it uses the 3g network how much data does it use?
It uses your data/wifi
Your phone knows when to switch from imessage to sms message because it knows when your texting whether or not the recipient has iOS5 or not if it does the bubbles will be blue(Data/WIFI) if is a regular text it will be green(TXT) hope this helps -
Hi folks
Had iPhone for a while and generally happy, but it seems I still need to keep my old nokia E72 because I cannot seem to use the iPhone as a modem, nor does it support rSAP.
Also, while I like the threaded sms view, I'd also like the option to create sms folders to stash away my banking sms info, all of which comes from different numbers, and filled the sms inbox with hundreds of messages.
Lastly, having the meeting for the day diplayed somewhere on the home screen would be great if there were a way to do it. Yes, I can go into calender easy enough, but unless I develop the habit of checking it all the time, I often forget about a meeting whereas on the old nokia, it was always displayed.
What gives with the lack of flash support? Maybe ol Steve dislikes adobe, but it seems like a serious lack to me. Even the old nokia has some flash support.
Given that, I must say I love the seperate calenders and contacts. It's great to be able to keep home contacts seperate from work ones, but still have them on the same phone. Email is great two - full html support seems like a given but it works really well.rSAP has largely been supplanted by ABAP, which the iPhone supports. Most modern smartphones, including the iPhone do NOT store any information on the SIM.
SMS inboxes. Not much to say. I've never had a desire to do this. I understand it could be useful, but it's unlikely to change.
As for meetings on the home screen... Wait for iOS 5
Flash: it's not JUST that Steve doesn't like flash. Adobe has failed to produce a workable version of Flash for iOS. Blame has to go to both sides. I say good riddance to it. -
how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!
You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph. -

Only if the game or app requires an internet connection and when not connected to the internet via an available wi-fi network your iPad has access to.
To test if a game or an app requires internet access to function, turn on Airplane Mode before using the game or app. If internet access is required, you will be provided a warning message that internet access is required. -

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
Can you please suggest anything.
Thanks and regards

is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x. -
PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.
All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself. -
I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple. The pc also does not recognise the iPhone. The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old. Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks
You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone. You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.
What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.

It got me thinking about how an app with modules would be different from an app that does not use modules. Solution: I moved the dummy reference of PersonPhotoView out to the main application file (as opposed to being inside the module) and it worked. I've probably been lucky not to have experienced this problem earlier, because for most other entities I have an instance attached to my model which is linked / compiled with the main application.

Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to make a call
Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to place a call
Depends on what the receiver has set up on his or her device.
Also depends on the device. iPhone uses the number, iPad, iPod touch uses Email. But can be set up for phone number too if the person has an iPhone.
Hope this helps.
