  • How do you register your mobile number with imessaging?

    When I want to send something to my phone from my ipod.. it won't regiser my mobile number? Why? Like I've tried, and it will only allow my e-mail to go threw.

    Turn off iMessage then turn it back on.
    You do have an iPhone and you are in the wrong place?
    If not, you can't send from your mobile number on your Touch.

  • How can I change the email associated with my forum account?

    How can I change the email associated with my forum account?  I didn't provide my work email to you, but you put it in my account.  My forum postings have nothing to do with my personal PC at home.  There isn't an option to update it.

    Hi:
    Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
    Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
    This will drop down, and give you options.
    Select User Settings.
    This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

  • How can you close an email after reading without either deleting it or saving it somewhere?  I use AOL and it just goes to "old mail" after you have read the email.

    How can you close an email in Apple iPad after reading it without deleting it.  I use AOL and in their application it just goes to "old mail" after you have read it.  In Apple's email it stays open. Very annoying.

    You cannot actually close an email in the mail app on the iPad. You can tap on the drafts folder or any empty folder that you migh have when you are done reading the email and then the blank white window will appear in the mail app.
    The mail app will always show emails otherwise. That is just the way that it works currently on the iPad.

  • How can i use an email address with an apostrophe as my apple ID

    I need use a school email address for a new Apple ID but it has an apostrophe, and Apple does not see it as a valid address. How can I use that email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Juduth.
    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • How can I change my email address in iMessages so that I can receive messages. My apple seems to have two different email identities and I cannot figure out how to change the wrong one.

    My email address in the imessage part of my ipad is incorrect. How can I change the email address to conform with the email address on the rest of my apple products? I can get messages on my iphone, mac but not on my ipad because of the incorrect address.

    Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
    this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
    Hope it helps.

  • Old issue...How can you delete multiple emails?

    You would have thought that Apple would have given us an easy way to delete multiple emails by now.
    I'm trying to clean up my wife's 16GB iPad with thousands of old emails and tried every old trick. ( Holding down the move after selecting one etc. it crashes now in iOS 8 )
    I read that you can go to Messages preferences and select how long you want to keep messages, Never, (1 month etc...)
    but is that text Messages or Mail also? But how do you get rid of the old ones.  I've cleaned out the server, thinking that the Cloud would pick that move up, but that didn't work either.
    The old iOS version allowed in Preferences to select the Maximum amount of emails you want on your iPad ( ala 100 etc ) iO7 killed that move.
    Is this a simple but stupid oversight on Apples part OR is it intentional to get me to buy a Larger GB iPad for my wife next time!
    Common, lets rally around this one... it's way overdue!

    Instead of using the iOS Mail app to do this massive cleanup, you might go to Yahoo or GMail or other services, and do it on the web. For the clean up process for large amounts of mail, that might work better. Once it's under control though, then it's pretty easy to maintain from the iOS Mail app. It's just a matter of checking it once every few days or so and keeping your "housekeeping" done ... :-) ...

  • How can you send an email out to more than 65 persons at a time?

    I have an email notification list of 175 persons who regularly get communications from me. I have recently discovered that only 65 of them are getting these emails. How can I send to my entire list?
    Thanks!

    Is the list stored on a server or in Thunderbird?
    I'm not aware of a limit to the number of recipients of a message in Thunderbird when you use a list. A limit may be imposed by your service provider as an anti-spam measure. You may want to search around to learn more about any limits there.

  • Can you use any email account with iChat?

    It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?

    Hi,
    The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
    The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
    AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
    They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
    More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
    Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
    As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
    NOTES:
    Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

  • How can you interface IEEE 488 bus with labview

    Hi
    How should I proceed to interface labview with an instrument (an impedence analyser with a IEEE 488 port) and labview through a IEEE 488 interface card in the PC.
    Thanks
    Mal

    Hi,
    You hava a group of functions to do that. Go to Instrument IO --- GPIB.
    There you can find the tools you need to comunicate with an instrument via GPIB.
    You can also use MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) to test your comunication before implementing it in LabVIEW.
    Hope this gets you started,

    Use iCloud to backup the iPad. Many users don't use their iPads with iTunes at all anymore. Personally, I would never rely only on iCloud, but I would guess that millions of iOS users are now using only iCloud and not backing up with iTunes at all.
