HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON.

How do I change the phone number in my iPad for messaging

When I go to settings>message>send and receive at I can see the phone number but highlighting it does not appear to allow me to change it.

I thought the number was assigned by your cellular carrier and cannot e changed.

My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone. I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system. The software doesn't work that way.
You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.
Cheers

How can I save my fillable form so that when I share my form with other people they are able to save the fillable version of the form?

I made a fillable form in Adobe Live Cycle - The problem I'm having is that when I share the form with someone they are unable to save the fillable version of the form once information has been put in - I need them to be able to save the fillable form so that when we need to make changes in the future that we don't need to fill out the entire form again.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
Is thois too complicated?

How do I change my tab settings so that opening new tabs doesn't jerk me off the page I'm on!? Trying to find simple answers is like pulling my own teeth!

I think the question is obvious.

In the Options window go to the Tabs panel and de-select the setting "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

How do I get the iPod on my iPhone for to allow AirPlay with my bluetooth in my car? The phone will connect but not the iPod in AirPlay.

I am able to connect my iPhone 4 phone to receive and make calls but unable to connect the iPod to Bluetooth using AirPlay. The symbol came up once, I changed it to speakers and the option never appeared again.

"unable to connect the iPod to Bluetooth using AirPlay."
That is correct as this is not what airplay does at all. Airplay works only with airplay enabled device vis WI-FI ( Apple TV, airport express)
"With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream videos, music, and photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to Apple TV (2nd generation) and stream music to AirPlay speakers or receivers, including AirPort Express."

How do I get the Questions in the Survey to show up in the Report? Only the answers are showing up, not the Questions....

I only know how to input them manually, and I am sure there must be another way?
Kind regards,

Hi Ellen,
Is your Router brodcasting it's SSID?
If not, try this, click on the Airport icon, choose Other, fill in the info.

The caller ID on this and all other Verizon phones (Android and other types) occasionally displays a "1" before the phone number. This causes the tenth digit to not appear in the caller ID. How can the "1" be prevented from appearing?

Verizon's caller ID delivery system occasionally inserts a 1 before the phone number of the incoming call. The caller ID feature appears to be poorly planned and executed by Verizon. The caller ID feature should display more numerals so the call can be returned. Can the iPhone 6 and all other phone-types on Verizon be configured to omit the 1? This looks like it could be issued as firmware update.

Update - I called the number I was given for "ordering", and got the same phone tree I had the first time I called the number on Verizon's web site. At no point was there an option of "ordering". So I navigated back to FIOS tech support. The guy there said he called "ordering" and confirmed that the right name was in the Verizon directory. I asked him to push the directory entry, and he said he did that. I haven't had a chance to call people and see what shows up on their Caller ID.
I told the support person about the bill collectors calling for {edited for privacy}. He was full of nonsense. He said maybe {edited for privacy}gave out the wrong number. I pointed out it would be pretty hard for {edited for privacy} to put their name in Verizon's Caller ID directory, and maybe {edited for privacy} had my phone number before me. He looked that up and confirmed that my number previously belonged to {edited for privacy}.
I asked the support person if they provide their Caller ID directory to bill collectors, and if I was getting these calls because they have been selling a database that says {edited for privacy} still has my number, which has been my number for nearly two years. The customer support representative WOULD NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. All he would say was there is no way for Verizon to control who calls my number. That's not what I asked him.
I am very unhappy with Verizon, and I suspect until I called yesterday, they had my number associated with {edited for privacy} and they have been providing this erroneous information to bill collectors. I understand that each phone provider maintains their own Caller ID database, but I don't think it is credible that some other phone company's caller ID database would be two years out of date without some screw up by Verizon.
No Kudos. I see Google Voice in my future.

How do I change my startup settings?

When I turn my computer on, about a dozen programs start up automatically -- which means I have to spend at least a minute closing or minimizing each one. How do I change my startup settings so that the programs only open manually, when I need them?
Thanks!

First go into Users and Groups, under your account, and see what login items you have. Remove any that might be causing the problem.
Second, when you reboot or shut down, make sure that you don't have reopen windows checked - this is likley what's causing your problem.
Third, check the applications that are opening via the Dock and make sure that you don't have Open at Login selected.
Any one of these could cause applications to start when you reboot or start up.

HT1918 How do i change the phone number on my apple ID account so i can use messaging with my Ipod Touch 4th gen?

How do I change my phone number on my Apple ID account? Not the number for billing. I got a new Ipod touch and when I was setting it up my emails where correct but the phone number was wrong. The gentlemen at the Apple Store told me just to go on my account on my computer and change it but i cant find where. Only part i know how to change is the billing number. Thanks.

If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
