  • How come its not letting me video chat with more than one people?

    i've chatted before with more than 2 people on ichat but for some reason its not letting me. The plus sign will only show like 2 names meanwhile there are other people on my buddy list that i want to add not the ones in the plus sign. I've exited out of the chat i had with one person and went to the other person to make sure theres is working and it does. so why can;t i chat with 3 people then, and how to add them. If someone can help that would be great! Thanks!

  • HT4060 I have my iPad plugged into the wall, how come its not charging the battery?

    How come my battery is not charging even though the iPad is plugged in?

    The possible reasons could be....
    1. Bad connector cable
    2. Faulty power adapter/charger
    3. Problem with the wall socket
    4. Faulty dock connector opening
    5. Something impeding the charge getting through - debris in the connector end of the iPad
    6. Faulty iPad/corrupt software
    Try another cable, another power adapter, another wall socket, and go from there. Nobody can just guess what the reason is, start eliminating some of the possible causes and go from there.

  • My iMessage for some reason will not let me activate my phone number.

    I have had an iPhone 5 for almost a year now, and had not had any problems with it until about a month ago, when it suddenly stopped letting me send iMessages from my phone number. I have tried everything from turning iMessage on and off, to resetting my network settings, to doing a hard reset on my device. When I text friends, they recieve two different conversations - one from my phone number and one from my apple ID through iMessage, depending on if it was a text or iMessage. The option to choose my number from iMessage is there, but is greyed out and will not let me choose it, and any attempts to reset it just result in a "waiting for activation..." message that doesn't go anywhere. I have checked with my carrier, Verizon, and it is not something that is coming from their end...and from what I've seen, a lot of other users have been having this problem since the ios7 update. Is there any way to fix this?

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
    Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
    Any ideas on how to get it working again?

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

  • My account wont let me use my debit card i put the right info in but its not letting me pay with my card

    I just want to use my debit card but its not letting me

    By 'not letting me' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    Debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
    You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
    which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account.
    If the card is being declined then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (but you may not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • The control panel will NOT let me activate either CONTACTS or Calendar as it just says I do not have a default profile setup, which I do have. I have checked it over and over again but it still refuses to let me use these features. I am using Office 2010
