How do i know which of my contacts I can send messages on my iPad?

I have many contacts on my iPad. How do I know which it can free message? Is there a way of finding out who uses an iPhone, iPad, etc.?

If the recipient has an iOS device with SMS and MMS messaging enabled, your iPhone will preferentially use iMessaging MMS to an iOS device. You will be able to tell what device they are using when the sent bubble shows on your iPhone - blue for an iOS device, green for an SMS device or when MMS is not available.

How do I set up iMessage so I can send messages from my iPad to my iPhone using the same apple id

I am trying to set up iMessage so I can send and receive messages on my iphone 5 and my iPad using the same apple id.

I assume that you want to keep the same Apple ID on both devices for downloads and purchases but you just want to know how you can use Messages on both devices without creating a new Apple ID.
On one of the two devices ....Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at>add another email address ... and enter another working email address. After you enter the email address and it is verified by Apple, go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple and follow the instructions to complete the verification. Then go back to the settings and remove your Apple ID email address. You will now use that new email address at the contact at email address for messages on that device.
You can keep your Apple ID email address and use that one on the other device.

When contacts have a number in common, how do I know which is calling?

Many of my contacts work, or live at the same place, as other contacts. How do I know which one is calling? My iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1) caller ID will display "John Smith and 4 others". I thought, if I put a contact called "Smith Residence", it would display that instead of John Smith and 4 others. That didn't work.
Then I tried linking the contacts to the "Smith Residence" listing, but that didn't work.
Then I thought I'll delete the people and reenter them, leaving only "Smith Residence" . That didn't work.
It doesn't seem to be the order that the contacts were entered, which decides the contact to display. It doesn't seem to be the one that others are linked to that displays. So, what is it that decides which contact displays when I get a call from a particular phone number, if that # is common to many contacts?
How can I choose which of my contacts will display?

OK I think I get it. My contacts are sorted by first name and because (alphabetically) "John Smith" is before "Smith Residence", it will always show "John Smith". Now I have something to work with; I just need to know what alpha rules iOS uses. Anyone???
Word:
*Smith residence
1 Smith residence
John smith
Smith residence
Smith residence
-Smith residence
Excel:
Smith residence
*Smith residence
1 Smith residence
John smith
Smith residence
-Smith residence

Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2) has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

Hi
The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article
Adobe Muse Help | Organizing and reusing design elements using Library panel
Please let me know if you have any other query.

Depend on which country you are in btw, for the US this should be 61 black and 61 tricolor. For most of europe this will be 301 black and 301 tri color. So to be sure tell me from which country you are.

HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

You cannot.
When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive. I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.

To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

Why doesn't iTunes copy all my files, and how do I know which it left out?

Hello,
I had iTunes on my old PC, and when I installed it on my new one (Vista Home Premium), it very helpfully deleted everything off my iPod and copied it all back again! As it happens, the only files on the iPod were from the iTunes library, so it didn't matter, but it was annoying.
Anyway, now it has (supposedly) synched my library and iPod, if I look at the library, it shows 1164 songs. If I look at my iPod, it only shows 1157 songs.
How do I know which songs iTunes didn't copy over? More to the point, anyone any idea why it didn't just copy all of them?
Thanks for any help.

OK, thanks for all the replies.
hmacross: I have checked for duplicates, and there were some there. This was because when I installed iTunes, it insisted on scanning my entire hard disk and adding every audio file it could find, even though I didn't want it to. I only wanted it to add ones in my Music folder. I had to do a fair amount of work to clean this up! Anyway, I just checked again, and there aren't any duplicates in my iTunes library.
Chris: If I look in my iTunes library, and show all the audio files as a big list, at the bottom it gives me the total number of files, and the total play length. If I look at the iPod, I see similar numbers.
After some tidying up, the iTunes library shows 1149 songs, and the iPod shows 1147 songs, so there's still a discrepancy. I have double checked for duplicates, so that's not the issue.
Thanks again. Any further help would be appreciated.

How do it know which backup files to keep and which to delete?

How do you know which backup files to keep and which to delete?

If you still have all devices, just delete all. They will re backup.

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

How do I know which block has been changed in Master/Detail

Hi,
I have master detail blocks. How do I know which block has been changed?
I used :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS. It only gave me "Changed" or "Query". but didn't tell me which block has been changed in MASTER or DETAIL.

I believe if :system.form_status != 'QUERY' you'll need to loop through through the blocks checking :system.block_status to see who changed. Of course you'd have to go_block() before checking the status.

It doesn't really matter which country your hosting service is located in so long as they offer 24/7 tech support in your chosen language. Telephone support is usually free of charge to you.
