    You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

    The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

    Hi, I have tried to restore settings on my Iphone due to problems I was having with the phone cutting out when talking on the phone, now Iphone shows Sim Failure, how can I get back to using my phone? Please help, its a business phone.

    Hi jclarke64, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade. 
    If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone. 
    See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:

    All the best,

    My nephew give me the iphone and i'm not sure about the carrier. how i can get this information using the imei number?

    If you have the iPhone in front of you, here's how you can learn the carrier:
    Go to Settings > General > About and look at the "Network" row near the top.  There's your carrier's name!

  • How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

    I used to get imessages using my phone number.  Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one.  Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number.  The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected.  I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice. 
    The imessage is working but only using the email address.
    Ideas?
    Jennifer

    the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
    i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
    but i did sign in on my iphone
    i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
    then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
    i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
    i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
    thanks again

  • How do I get messages sent to my phone number sent to my iPad

    I used to recive iMessages sent to my phone number to my iPad, I got a new phone and I no longer receive them to my iPad. How can I receive iMessages sent to my iPad again.

    On your devices check Settings/Messages/Send & Receive to ensure the "reached at" addresses are the same. I would also set the "new conversation" option to the same address on both devices as well unless you specifically want to keep them separated.

  • How can you get text sent from a phone on your account to your email?

    I need to know i can see what is being sent in text by a phone on my account or the number that is being texted but i dont know how

    The title of your post isn't the same as the post, so I'm a bit confused.  If you want to see the numbers being texted by phones on your account, log into your on-line MyVerizon account (assuming you are the Account Owner and logged in as such) and click the blue Usage Details.  Select the appropriate line at the top of the page (if applicable) and then under the table showing text usage, click the blue View Messaging Details.  However, texts sent/received via iMessage won't show up since they don't go through Verizon's system.
    If you want texts sent to your e-mail, you should be able to forward them.  If it's another phone on your account that you're wanting those texts sent to your e-mail, there may be an app for that, but I'm not sure.  With Androids, you can get apps that back up text messages and then forward them to your e-mail; I don't know if there's a similar iPhone app or not.

    If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
    If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

    How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
    I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
    Hmmmmm??? What to do?

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.

  • I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

    I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

  • I've extended java.lang.Thread.  How do I get WebLogic to use my version?

    I want to add a String attribute to the thread class to save some extra info I need. I extended the Thread class with a private String with getter/setter methods.
    Since WebLogic instantiates the threads and not my own code, how do I get WebLogic to use my version of Thread instead of the one from java.lang?

    I don't think it's possible to have WLS use your own thread implementation for WLS internals. However, for your own custom work, it's pretty straight-forward to use the CommonJ Work Manager API and add your own implementation details for a thread pool.
    See documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13701/self_tuned.htm#i1069944
    WorkManager Javadocs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e13941/index.html?commonj/work/WorkManager.html
    Specifically providing your own Work interface implementation should hopefully allow you to meet your need.
