Emoticons are not sending from mac to phone with iMessage?  They show up as symbols etc.    But they will send from the iPhone to the mac?   what am i missing here.    This used to work seamlessly.   Just started having issues?

for sometime i have been using the emoticons seamlessly between my iphone and imac through imessage but now it seems to be kaput.   it will send from my phone to the imac but from the imac to the phone is converting to symbols.   what am i doing wrong?

Thank-you for the response RJTUK.   I thought I was losing my mind.   I thought that I would add for those that are following this post.   I also noticed that the emoticons are showing up fine from iMac to MacBook.   It seems the only loss in info is with the my iPhone [iphone 5 os 6.1].   So it definitely must be on the phones end?  Hoping that someone will fix this shortly.   I know it is silly but I really enjoy the personality that emoticons can add to a imessage.

  • Hi All.  My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

    Hi All,
    I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
    My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
    I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
    It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
    I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
    Thanks Again,
    Scott P.

    Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
    Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
    Why would I buy yours?
    I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

  • Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

    Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

    So yu tried all of this:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

  • I have an iPhone 5c. Just started having trouble texting to certain numbers. I send a message, they receive it (most of the time) but it also comes back to me saying not delivered. Also, their texts to me are delayed, sometimes 4hours and sometimes more?!

    I have an iPhone 5c. Just started having trouble texting certain numbers. They receive them(most of them) but then it comes back to me saying not delivered. Also, their texts to me are delayed, anywhere from 4 to 12 hours.

    iMessages. I have gone into settings and turned off iMessages for one minute then reactivated it. Then I turned off network settings and then back on again. Today I'll try and restore the phone again to see if that works. Frustrating!

  • I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

    I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and  saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

    If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone.  If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes.  The process would look like this:
    Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
    Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
    Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup.  Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
    When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
    Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

  • I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

    I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

    You might want to consider "voting with your feet" and taking your business to another bank.  When they tell you the upgrade is the problem, it is really their problem and not yours.  If you don't want to do that, the suggestion that you try another browser is absolutely correct.

    Hello there, Srushevics.
    It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
    To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
    Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
    On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
    Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
    Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
    Sign in to iCloud.com.
    Select Find My iPhone.
    Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
    Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
    You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
    After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success.

    I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success. Do I have to use iCloud for 800 vacation photos or re-enter all the data after transfer? 

    There is no support for mirroring or syncing iPhoto libraries or Aperture libraries.  You can however export partial Aperture libraries on one mac and merge them into other libraries on a second Mac.
    To transfer your edited photos open your photolibrary in Aperture and and collect the edited photos in an album. Then select the album and use the command "File export > Album as new library". This will export all edited photos as a new Aperture library. Copy this library to your other Mac and import it with "File < Import > Library to your other photolibrary on that computer (assuming you are having the same Aperture version on both macs). When merging the new library into your Aperture library, opt to keep the newer versions from the imported library.  iPhoto 9.5.1 will be able to open these merged Aperture 3.5.1 libraries.

  • I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

  • Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I now have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing).

    Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?

    I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.
