How can I use Messages app on non-Verizon phone?
Hi. I have two phones: A VZW personal phone and a T-Mobile phone from my employer. I wish to carry only one device when I'm at work (my T-Mobile work phone) but I wish to be able to get texts from my personal VZW number on that phone. I know I can't forward texts, so I installed the Verizon Messages Android app on my work phone, but I can't set it up with my VZW number (I figured it should work because I was able set it up on my tablet at home and it works fine there).
After I install the app on the non-Verizon phone, I open it and I get a screen asking me if I want to use the app for my default messaging app. If I click no, the app closes without giving me a chance to set it up with my personal account like it did when I installed it on my tablet.
I also noticed after I installed it, it's called Messages+ instead of Messages. Are they the same thing?
Hi, has this been resolved? I am in a very similar situation and need the app to work on my new Sprint LG G3 exactly the way it operated on my Sprint iPhone 5S. Here is how it worked on my Sprint iPhone: downloaded the VZ Messages app, followed the prompts to tie it into my work Verizon Galaxy S5 number, and started to receive texts sent to my S5 on my iPhone but in the separate VZ Messages app and not in the native iPhone messages app.
But when I install the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3, it only asks if I want to "Change default message app? Use Message+ instead of Messaging as your default message application?" That is not what I want so I tap "Cancel" and the app closes. I am not prompted with the opportunity to tie it to my Verizon S5 number like I was on the iPhone. The ability to have the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3 along side the native G3 messaging app, the exact same way it worked on my Sprint iPhone, is very important and the whole reason I switched from AT&T to Verizon for my work phone.

Vz Messages app on non verizon phone
I have a work phone with Staight talk which is a gsm phone. I have a verizon personal phone. I am trying to get my personal verizon texts on the Straight talk phone with the vz messages app. Can not get the straight talk phone to pair with my vz number. Not sure it is possible????
I did get it installed on my old Att tablet and it worked fine. I have the tablet unlocked and using a Tmobile sim and the app works just fine there. Do you think it is not working because it is on the phone because it is a gsm PHONE?

How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes
how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes
Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes. -

Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx
On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance
How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance
Hi Kaijinfromtx,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you make an In App Purchase, the iTunes Store should use any gift balance or account credit first. You may still be asked to verify the payment information on your account before completing the purchase.
You can find more information about iTunes Store billing in these articles:
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed

I changed the name of my apple id and now I can't use the app store on my phone correctly because it's using my apple id's old name. I signed out and in on itunes and synced my iphone. Still doesn't work. Help please?
Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with. -

How can i use whats app in iphone 3g
how can i use whatspp on i phone 3g?
Whatsapp requires iOS 4.3 or later which will not run on an iPhone 3G. If you want to run Whatsapp or any of the increasingly-more-common apps that also require iOS 4.3 at minimum, you'll need a newer iPhone.

How can I use multiple iTunes accounts on one phone?
I Have an iTunes account with iTunes match enabled. I've just moved in with my gf and want to be able to share music on our phones. I've enabled her computer and put my Apple ID in and I now have all her music on my phone (thanks to iTunes match) but when I try and **** her phone it ignores all my music. How can I get all my music on her phone? The only way I have managed it is to sign out of her account on the phone and sign in with my ID but that would mean all her purchases would be charged to me etc so this isn't a solution really
Put everything on the computer to which she syncs, and sync them to her iPhone.

How can I reset messages.app?
I'm going to be completely honest here, a while ago I spammed a friend to the point where I froze my own messages app on my mac and now when I try to re-open it the spinning colorful pinwheel just pops up and never stops. Yes I learned a lesson but I'd like to obviously use the app again so I was wondering how I can reset the app. Thanks for everyones support!
HI,
I have never come across a situation like this.
If you try to send a Super IM over the AIM service it normally will take a few minutes (literally) to come back with a response that it has messed up
I have not tried it with a Jabber service.
There are ways of deleting one or some of the .plists involved that can cause a reset of sorts but these are normally used for other things.
I have never had a Message "Stuck" in such a way that the App Hangs so that a .plist might have details of the IM it is sending.
With Messages shut down open the Console app (In Applications/Utilities)
In the System Diagnostic Reports do you have anything for Messages
It may look like this

This Hang was for only 3 and a bit secs (yours will probably list a longer period).
Now go to the All Messages section of Console and try starting Messages.
Do you get additional info (there may be a reveal triangle to open) ?
Things to try. (one at a time)
Use the Finder > Go Menu > Hold ALT key > Select Library method to open the Home Folder/Library (That is normally invisible)
Open Preferences.
In here find the following .plists
com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist
com.apple.imagent.plist
If it was an AIM Message try deleting (Drag to Trash) the AIM one.
If Jabber (GoogleTalk or Facebook or other) they try the Jabber one.
After the deletion restart Messages.
If deleting the service .plist did not work try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist
If it happens to be an iMessages IM then delete both of these
com.apple.imessage.bag.plist
com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist
You will need to restart Messages again. The second of these is likely to need you to re-enter your Apple ID.
To be clear.
Qith Messages shut down then Delete one .plist (AIM or Jabber)
Restart Messages.
If it does not work shut down (force Quit) Mesages
Remove the imagent .plist
Restart Messages.
If a iMessages conversation then delete both .plists and restart Messages (you may need to re-enter your Apple ID)
