The iPhone practically does whatever the iPad could.  The only differences are :
1. iPhone could send/receive any call to/from any mobile devices including SMS.  However, iPad could use the iMessage only with another iDevice excluding SMS.

While it is true the iPad does not natively support SMS (Text) messaging, there are several apps available in the App Store which would allow the iPad to send/receive SMS messages.  All of my friends/relatives moved to iPhones long ago so I don't have any recent experience with any of those apps but I do know they are available.

  • I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password. Please help.

    I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
    All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
    I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
    I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
    I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
    Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank you

    My iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
    It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
    I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem.

  • I erase my mac book pro to factory setting and cannot re-install the software. I received a message saying my Apple ID has not yet used with the App store. Please review your account information. Could anyone help please. I need to re-install my os.

    Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
    Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

  • I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

    Your sister can go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and see if she can recover her password.
    There is nothing anybody else can do.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps?  If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

  • Help please with FaceTime. The built in app seems to have disappeared from my iPad2. Bought it in Australia

    If K Penguin's suggestion doesnt work, you will have to go to you iTunes and do a reset, that is if you do not have it in your back up library.

    Create a new Apple ID using a new valid e-mail address

    In iPhone's Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out and sign in the new.

  • I am working through a tutorial based on Illustrator CS6, but I am using CS5.  The tutorial requests that I open "Image Trace" but I don't see this function on CS5... please could you advise what the equivalent tool would be?  Thank you!

    I think in CS5, it was called "Live-Trace." Whatever it's called, it should become available on the options panel (the context-sensitive control panel at the top) when you select a trace-eligible raster image on your artboard.

    Activation requires a SIM card.
    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • How can You create a rescue email if you already have an Apple ID/account?

    I didn't think about it, thought I didn't need it, but now I know. I forgot my security answers, and I keep getting locked. I need a way to create a rescue account if I already have an Apple ID/account. I won't click on any links unless it directs me to the exact location on creating a rescue email while you already have an Apple ID/account. I went through enough threads, links and everything, I've tried every single way to answer, but still keep getting locked out. Please help me, I need it.

    There is no way to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. You need to ask Apple to reset them; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Video conferencing if you already have VoIP running

    Hi, imagine on a large organization you already have a voip system up and running.
    Then you decide to deploy a video conferencing system.
    In general, how much configuration do you expect to perform in order to deploy the video over IP successfully? Should I expect to do mainly client configuration in order to watch the video conferencing, or that is going to require router/switch configuration as well to accomodate the video traffic?

    It depends on the type and volume of video conferencing you're talking about. If you're referring to point to point conferencing using VT advantage, the configuration will be minimal. If you're referring to multipoint conferencing using a conference controller(s), the configuration becomes more complex. With any video, it's necessary to configure QoS throughout the network. This will certainly involve router/switch configuration in order to classify, mark, and honor the markings of video traffic.
    Hope this helps. If so, please rate the post.

  • Can you get a free download of the new Pages through the appstore if you already have an earlier version of iworks from a disk?

    I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine.  It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store.  Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk?  Thanks.

    No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
    iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here.
