How do I send a private message to someone who has posted a previous question or answer?
I have a similar question to one which was posted earlier and I would like to contact the person who asked this question, to see if the advice received helped sort out his problem

AdrianB,
Unfortunately, our current system doesn't have private messaging functionality.
If the thread was recent, the person you are looking for may still be subscribed to it. If they are, then you can post to the thread and a notification will be sent to them and they may respond to you.
If the thread wasn't recent, then the notifications to it have probably all expired. The best thing to do in this case would be to post a new question and reference the old thread in your question. The original person may reply to it or other users may reply and let you know their opinion of the advice given.
Thanks,

Hi Molly,
What qualifies as "recent"? In other words, how long until subscriptions have expired?
Thanks,
Corey

How do I send an SMS message to someone with an Apple ID who uses an Android phone?
My colleague has an iPad and MBP registered using their AppleID. But they use an Android Phone. I'm trying to send an SMS to them using Messages on my iPhone (iOS8). The message gets sent to their iPad but not their phone.
Hello Dannyswain39,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

To use Messages with SMS and MMS, you need an iPhone.
Best of luck,

How can I send a private message to someone on this forum - a message to him/her not shown on the forum - like on other bulletin boards, usually via the webmaster?
I have to agree with Steve here.
I've never run across a tech forum where one could not send PMs to other members.
Sometimes one gets to working on a specific problem one has and it simplifies things, and helps not to encumber the board with long threads/posts that are, perhaps, not a problem that affects a lot of people.
It's not about email. I have my email hidden (least I hope so!). I give out my cable modem box's address only very selectively.
It's also nice to send a thank to someone who solved your.
I don't see why courtesy should be excluded from any Forum--whether the forum's raison d'etre is technical or social. The vast majority of fora are a mixture of the two. Or, imo, they should be.
This forum, in particular, has somewhat well-deserved rep for non-responsiveness to iPod newbie questions. The first thread I put up didn't receive an answer for months. I haven't checked it again, but I'd be surprised if an answer was ever posted. A helpful answer that is.
I've made some good 'Net friends thru the fora.
So, let's take the ties off, make friends, solve our problems and teach each other the little tricks that programmers love to sneak into software (for you corporate types, and those of you in Rio Linda, that's kind of like "networking" but without the ulterior motive).
I'm no newbie, but I'm no programmer or engineer either. I know my limits.
Computer users, esp those who use Windows, often have strange issues unlike the divine Mac. (I don't have a problem with Macs. If I had the cash, I'd have a Mac laptop or desktop, or both if I really had the money.
I was using Macs before a lot of people with iPods were even born, starting with a hard driveless MacPlus--nine in B/W screen with MacWrite for the H.S. newspaper--in 1986, but I HATE those commericals!)
OK! Enough of this! I'm off to buy an 80GB Video iPod.<

A private message is similar to an email. You can send and receive messages from anyone on the Forum without exchanging any personal information.
To send a Private Message (or PM):
1. Click on the screen name of the user, you want to contact.
2. The person’s profile page will open. At the right hand side, under Contact Me options, click on the “Send this user a private message” link.
3. This will open a window to create the message you want to send. Write an appropriate Message Subject and then write the main message in the Message Body.
4. Like creating a post, you can change font, color, size of the text and use various other utility buttons to create an appropriate message. When you are finished, click on Send Message.
Your message is now sent.
If somebody sends you a message, there will be a blue envelope icon right beside the Log Out link. To check your message box, click on the envelope icon.
You now know a lot of common & useful features in the Forum. Now, check out a few tips on starting an effective post, so that the community can provide you with meaningful suggestions for your issue.

How do I send an audio message in a text?
How do I send an audio message in a text? There is no microphone to the right of the text box. The microphone with the keyboard simply puts audio to written words.
Maybejim,
That's a great question! You'd need to utilize the "Voice recorder" application to record and then share an audio message. You can view the instructions via Samsung's website; http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00055605/67319/SGH-M919RWATMB .
Let us know if you still have any questions. Thanks

Need to send a private message to customer care
Hello, !
Thanks for posting. You should be able to click here to send us a private message! You won't have to input your username at all; just the message subject and body. See the screencaps below.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
-MarianaI can't send a private message to customer care because every time I put in my user name, rvrgs2, it says that it can't find my user name. Please let me know if there is another way to contact them. The problem I've been having has been going on for 7 months, and is too lengthy to post here.Thanks.

Sending a message to someone who used to have an iPhone
I have sent some messages to someone who used to have an iPhone (and to whom I used to send iMessages) but who has now switched to an android device but the contact number has stayed the same. I notice that when I send a text now it is going as an iMessage (message in blue). I assume that the recipient is not receiving these. Is that correct? How do I send the contact a regular text message at this point?

You tell them to sign out of iMessage -
When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone. -
periodically my iphone sends me a message saying that it has not been backed up to icloud for x number of weeks.it tells me that when an internet connection is connected to should back-up..i have connected it many times and still get the same message every other week..any help/suggestions would be great..is it an app that i need to get?if it is,i dont have it and a suggestion would be great..thnx
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the phone and trying again.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
