How do i get iMessage to work between different peoples iPod touches and iPhones 4s?!

My sister has a iPod touch 4th generation and i have an iPhone 4 , but iMessage never seems to work? we both have different apple IDs too. How can i get this to work?

have imessage been reg'd with the carrier in the case of the iphone?
and it will only work if both are connected to the internet at the same time as imessage will otherwise send by sms which is not possible to an ipod touch as it don't connect to the phone network

My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
Thank you

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

I have recently got an iPhone 5. I also use Mail on my iMac computer. How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same? (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too? I need identical email lists on both. Thank you, in anticipation!

If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work. POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server. It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device). The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service. IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device. Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP. If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

HT1481 How do I get rid of my music on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs?

How do I get rid of old songs on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs??

This is document lists the four iPod shuffle models and the ways to sync music to the shuffle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
The way you remove songs depends on the model (1st and 2nd gen versus 3rd and 4th gen), and the method being used to add songs. I don't know your specifics (please provide), I'll go with one possibility...
You have a 4th (current) gen shuffle and you use the manual method to load the shuffle, by dragging songs to the shuffle from your iTunes library in iTunes (or using the Autofill feature). If that is your shuffle model and how you load it...
First, in the latest iTunes, the sidebar can be hidden. To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
To remove songs, select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. "Drop down" its content list, which is indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. Over to the right, you see a list of songs currently on the shuffle. Select the song you want to remove, and hit the Delete key on keyboard. Confirm action. You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entire list (by selecting Select All from the File menu).
If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or you use automatic syncing (not manual loading or Autofill), please post back.

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation?

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation or does it work with older ones as well?

Any iPod Touch device that can be upgraded to iOS 5 will have iMessage. This means if you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod Touch it will support iMessage.

Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone. Now my playlist volumes are all over the map. I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!! Apple support on the phone told me it should work. Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music. Still not working!!!

Just a stab in the dark, but check:
Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.

how do I get imessage to work

Hi,
On first run the Messages app normally asks you for an Apple ID to "register" with iMessages.
Opening the app and going the the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts should show you two accounts in place.
If the iMessages one has details it will show you some of these.
Neither the iMessages or Bonjour account can be deleted although the Apple ID can be removed from the iMessages one.
Once the Apple ID is verified the app should open the main Messages Window.
This provides a place to view Chats, a list of open chats and interface times to invoke Video and New Messages.
The bottom left will also show any Other accounts such as Google Talk, AIM and Yahoo logins (And in the Bonjour one is active), generally refered to as "Buddy List" accounts as they use the iChat Style Buddy list which can also be used as Interfaces to start conversations.
The square icon with what looks like a pencel will start a New Message
Typing a name in the "To" spot will access both Contacts and Buddies' info to start a chat with a specific person.
Once the list on the left says New Message then a blue + icon appear on the right that can access the Contacts app list or the Buddies.

I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

How do I get reminders to work between ical and google calendar

I have searched and searched, read dozens of posts, and still have found nothing that shows how to get reminders to work in ical. One post said to disable all event reminders in the google interface-did not make any difference; setting them up in google-did not work; etc etc
Specifically, I am on a macbook pro, snow leopard, ical 4.0.4; my wife is on the same system, but using an iMac.
since snow leopard does not support the cloud, and mobilme is gone, we were 'forced' to use google calendar to sync events between our two computers; that part seems to work fine; most of the time.
But neither of us can get a reminder to pop up in ical, when the event is one that goes to google; if the event is one that is "on my mac", then those kind of event reminders do work.
this is not about syncing reminders; it is about me tring to make a medical appt event remind me a few hours before, so I don't forget it, like happened last week!!
Mainly I am expecting anyone that responds to this post to say, yes you are right, there is no way to get a 'caldav' event reminder to work anymore.
If anyone says "I found a way..." I will be knocked over :-) (but overjoyed); I am happy to use terminal, plist editor, or anything else, if someone can fix this.

can anyone help with this, even if just to confirm that there is no fix?
