How come after I use IMessage, some of my old Text Message are lost?

And I only have very little message ;P

I've had the same problem for a long time, I found that going into settings then messages you can change how long you keep your messages for, mine was on forever. I changed it to 30 days (minimum amount) and then deleted everything as I tried before(all at once). I left my phone with message open for about 30 mins without touching it after erasing everything. I went back to It, completely closed out of it, went back in and everything was still erased, then restarted my phone and everything was gone still! Hope that helps !

How come after turning of iMessage on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4), my contact who has the same phone and OS could not receive regular text messages from me?

Here is what the conversation looked like. She let me know she didn't see those two messages:

PROBLEM SOLVED by Apple Support Chat
In order to get around this issue I had to put the phone into RECOVERY MODE, and connect it to iTunes.
Here is the support article that tells you how to put your iPhone into RECOVERY MODE. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connecting to iTunes in RECOVERY MODE worked even though all my iPhone backups are in iCloud not in my iTunes.
It is NOT TRUE that you can't re-activate and recover your iPhone if your SIM is locked.
It is NOT TRUE that you have to unlock your SIM in another phone if you are trying to re-activate your iPhone with a locked SIM.
It is NOT TRUE that you need to get a new SIM from your carrier if you're trying to reactivate your iPhone with a locked SIM.
All you need is a computer running iTunes, your SIM PIN, your iCloud login and password, and you need to put your iPhone into RECOVERY MODE. (See link above or click here.)

Your phone was jailbroken. You can't get help here.
In VERY RARE circumstances, this may indicate a hardware failure.

How Come, after updating to ios 6 iPhoto no longer supports photo streaming What happened?

How Come, after updating to ios 6 iPhoto no longer supports photo streaming? What happened?

You probably just need to re-enable Photo Stream. It's not clear what the difference is, but there is an option to enable Photo Stream (as well as Shared Photo Stream) in both the iCloud Settings and the Photos & Camera Settings.

HT1665 how come i cant use other headphones or external speakers with my ipod

how come i cant use headphones or external speakers with my ipod.sood as you plug either in there is no sound.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

HT3529 I have and iPod Touch, and my sister has an iPod touch. Both use the same Apple ID. If I use iMessage, can my sister see my messages?

I have and iPod Touch, and my sister has an iPod touch. Both use the same Apple ID. If I use iMessage, can my sister see my messages?

Yes.
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID 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 the new ID but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
