How can i share messages to all my devices?

I want to use my messages with my phone number, not my email address .... i dont know how to do that

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, you can only use iMessage with a phone number that is being used on an iPhone. If you meet this requirement, open Messages app, go to Messages menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Accounts, choose iMessage in the sidebar, and tick your phone number and untick the mail address.
With this, you will send and receive iMessages sent to your phone number

  • How can I share/view/edit all of my photos in iPhoto on iMac with iPhoto on MacBook Pro?

    I have all my photos stored on iPhoto '11 on my iMac.  I have a MacBook Pro Retnia with iPhoto that I would like to be able to view these same photos on. Is this possible?  If so, please let me know how?
    Also, if possible, can I edit and/or download photos to one computer's iPhoto and have them updated (sync) with the other computer?
    Finally, how do all of these photos with edits, etc relate to what I see on my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 5?
    Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

    To view your library on another computer on the same network, you could use "Sharing". Set the iPhoto Preferences to share your entire library or selected albums:
    Also, if possible, can I edit and/or download photos to one computer's iPhoto and have them updated (sync) with the other computer?
    iPhoto Libraries cannot be synched between computers. If you want to have the libraries on both computers identical, you need to use the same library on both machines. Store your iPhoto library on an external disk (formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled) and plug the disk into the mac you are currently working with. Don't put the library onto a network drive - that will be a very sow access and may corrupt your photo library.
    To add new photos/events to iPhoto your other mac you can use the Photo Stream.
    Finally, how do all of these photos with edits, etc relate to what I see on my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 5?
    You can only sync one iPhoto library with each OS device. If you sync a device alternately with each computer using iTunes Photo sync, the albums synced from the other photo library will be replaced by the new sync.

  • How can I share a printer with iOS devices?

    I'm using a Mini with Lion and would like to share my printer with my iOS devices.  They will only see AirPrint devices of which I have none.  Is there a way to configure my Mini to make it's shared printer available to my wireless iOS devices?

    You can install applications like Printopia or AirPrint Activator. These will share your printer on the Mac to your iOS devices.

  • How do i share itunes on all my devices?

    I have an ipod touch and I got some itunes credits loaded there and so is my ipad, now i got an iphone and i wanted to buy something using that itunes credits, what can i do to use that?

    As long as you are using the same Apple ID and Password for all of you devices your credits can be used on any of them. 
    Just open the App store app or iTunes app on your devices and you should see the same credit amount on each one.
    Or use iTunes on your computer to purchase new apps or content and then sync your device to iTunes.
    Make sure you have Manage music and videos manually checked for each device on the summary page for that device when you connect it to iTunes so you don't accidently delete all your content while trying to add new.
    Basically iTunes credits are tied to the ID they were redeemed with.

  • How can I share PDF documents in Ibooks

    How can I share PDF between my Apple devices with Ibooks? I have on my Ipad a lot of PDF manuals that I want to see on my other devices so I don´t need to download them to Ibooks on every device. Sync is on in the setup but it seems only to work with books and not PDF.

    No - it will not work with PDFs. You might consider another cloud service such as Box, DropBox, or Google Docs.

    I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

    You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's).  You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

    Hi pampachomski,
    I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration or the devices in question, but from your description it sounds like you may want to look into the new iCloud Photo Library feature:

    I just bought my 3 kids iPods.  How can we share music from my iTunes library without crossing over with texts, apps, etc? 

    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

  • How can I share MS Office products with all Users on my Macbook Pro?

    The other 3 user accounts on my Mac Pro do NOT have access to Word, Excel, etc. How can I "share" these Applications? They don't show up in my admin user's 'Applications'. I'm new to the Mac (love it so far) and I don't know how to do some basic things yet. Thanks in advance

    Duh. In Applications for the other Users I saw the folder 'MS Office 2004'.

  • Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests.  How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

    We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners.  How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time?  Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords?  Hepl!

    Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
    I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
    However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....

  • How can I share Pin variable between two packages?

    Hi every one,
    Is there any one who knows how can I share Pin variable that it is defined with OwnerPin between two packages in java card( with eclipse 3.1),I studied Sharing Interface subject and I knows it teorical but I can not do it practical .
    I can share primitive data type but I can not share Ownerpin.
    If anybody has some sample codes or knows any link ,please inform me.
    My code is same as below:
    //In Server Side
    package ginaPack;
    import javacard.framework.*;
    public class GinaApplet extends Applet implements GinaInterface{
    OwnerPIN pin;
    private GinaApplet (byte[] bArray,short bOffset,byte bLength) {
        pin =new OwnerPIN(PIN_TRY_LIMIT,MAX_PIN_SIZE);
              byte PinTemp[] = new byte[4];
              PinTemp[0] = (byte) 0x31;
              PinTemp[1] = (byte) 0x31;
              PinTemp[2] = (byte) 0x31;
              PinTemp[3] = (byte) 0x31;
              pin.update(PinTemp, (short) (0), (byte) PinTemp.length);       
        public Shareable getShareableInterfaceObject(AID clientAID,byte parameter)
              return  this;
        public OwnerPIN getPinShareable()
             return pin;         
         public void process(APDU apdu)
                      //there are some codes in this here
    }//Interface in Server side
    public interface GinaInterface extends Shareable
          public OwnerPIN getPinShareable();
    }//In Client side
    import ginaPack.*;
    public class UserCardApplet extends Applet {
    private UserCardApplet(byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength) {
         //there are some codes in this here
    public boolean select() {
              final byte[] Gina_AID={(byte)0x47,(byte)0x69,(byte)0x6e,(byte)0x61,(byte)0x41,(byte)0x70,(byte)0x70,(byte)0x6c,(byte)0x65,(byte)0x74};
              AID GinaAID = JCSystem.lookupAID( Gina_AID, ( short )0,( byte )Gina_AID.length );
              if ( GinaAID == null ) // probably not loaded on card
                        ISOException.throwIt( ISO7816.SW_FUNC_NOT_SUPPORTED );//6a 80
              GinaInterface ff = (GinaInterface) JCSystem.getAppletShareableInterfaceObject(GinaAID,(byte)0);
              if( ff == null )
                   ISOException.throwIt((short)0x0903);
    if ( ff.getPinShareable().getTriesRemaining()== 0 ) return false;
    }My problem is in this line :
    "if ( ff.getPinShareable().getTriesRemaining()== 0 ) return false; "when I select my applet this line throw an exception, ff.getPinshareable includes all of OwnerPin methods(such as getTriesRemaining ,check ,reset, update ,...)but all of them throw exception .
    I think firewal does not allow other packages uses this methods .If my guess is right then what should I do for sharing the variables that they are defined with non primitive data type such as (OwnerPin,Signature,...)
    I'd appriciated for any help.
    yours sincerely,
    Orchid.

  • HT3529 On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?

    On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?
    I have MacBook, and iPhone 4 as well

    Your're wrong on the overly sensitive part. I couldn't care less about android or some other stuff that you are comparing, what i do care about... enough to take the time to explain, is that your view on things colors the choices you make.
    You clearly state your decision making process and the marketing is doing their work on you.
    You think in terms of comparisons and competitors and that will always get you. The truth is, I'm glad Apple finally focused on how "something makes you feel" with iOS 7. There is so much truth in that one sentence!
    There is so much noise out there about screen size, n core processors and price comparisons you can never get a good feel of what the product really is. By the time you figure out you were taken on a marketing hike, a new model comes out and the story starts all over again. (think of the nokia 40 megapixel camera, or the quad core samsung, those are exagerations to impress the consumer) Imagine the size of the jpg's on that phone, all those megapixels with the quality of a phone camera, ridiculous. Soon we will have 12-core phones with 7 inch screens, and people being led into thinking you can do everything on it, "one thing to rule them all", buy now! I saw a woman on the metro the other day with a 6' phone, I swear the thing was almost half the size of her head.
    It's almost 2014 and you are complaining you can't send sms(which is a 25 year old technology by the way) with this new device. All your friends are using outdated tech and because you want to talk to them you want outdated tech too. Sms is insecure, easily snooped upon and recorded, the carrier charges for it and charges more for international sms, and so on... and on... internet chat has been free since the 1990s and it's about time it got free on our phones too.
    Just forget about it. Enjoy other people taking the decisions, you can't take yourself, for you. Trust them, see if it fits, care about life, act emotionally when you "feel" like it. You deserve that, you are human, take the feeling home with you, share it with others.
    Who cares if it's the 2014 edition or quad core... I gave my old iPad 3 to my grandmother so I could call her on Facetime. I bought the iPad Air on a whim, I just "felt" I wanted it. After a couple of weeks she thought about asking me if she could call my brother in the UK too, and how much it would cost. I said it was free, and she looked at me in disbelief. She is now calling my brother weekly by herself... she is 78. Can you imagine that... all I did is give her my "old" iPad.
    Buying the iPad Air was the single best decision of my life, not because of the size or the weight or even iOS 7 (i do enjoy them by the way) but because it made me give my old iPad to my grandmother.
    She doesn't even understand how it works, I figured it would be too much useless stuff to mention... it just does! Here put your finger here and here, then tap the name... wait for him to answer. Unbelievable!!!
    PS. I figured the best gift I can make is give my old Apple devices to people who would never in a million years buy one for themselves. You see them in shops, they are our mothers and friends... they look at the huge prices and they would never give that much to themselves, they feel they don't deserve it. They gave me money to buy all the useless cr@p I ever wanted in my youth, the least I could do is gift them my "old tech" to enrich their lives. Going to buy a 5S soon and give my 4S to someone for free, but it's going to be someone I care deeply about, deeply enough to change their lives.
