How do I set up iMessage to send text message to my iPhone
I am trying to set up my iMessage using my ipad2 and iPhones but having no luck, how do I do this
First in your iPad 2, you have to sign in with your Apple ID, then in your iPhone under settings>message, you can put your mobile number or email at (Received At ), make sure ur imessage is turn on and your device is connected to wifi or cellular data.

How can I set a signature on my text messages?
How can I set a signature on my text messages?
I have iphone4, recently changed my phone number. Prior to the change all of my outgoing sms showed my name and phone number. Since I changed the number have not been able to show the new number on outgoing texts. So I don't understand why my number showed before but unable to add it now.....?
I lost a lot of data when I changed the number so I performed a back-up restore, which restored the data I lost. But now my text messages are showing my old phone number.....!!
Any idea how I can change so the new number is displayed?
I use texting a lot more than I do email with my phone. -
Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

My wife and I both have iPhone 5s, I can't send text messages to non iPhone people that I use to but iPhone people I can, My wife can send text to non iPhone numbers. I have checked and we both have the same settings. Both of our phones are up to date 7.0.4.
The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

Hey:
Hi everyone.
would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
(I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
Can you help me.
Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer. -

I just purchased a soundboard, how do I set the sounds as a text message notification?
I just purchased an iPhone 4 off of Ebay and I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to set soundboard sounds to my text message notification. It does not show under my sounds and when I hold down the specific sound it does not give me an option to set it as a notification. Unfortunately, I just found out the tech support etc are expired so I cannot ask Apple for help without paying for it. Does anyone know how to set a soundboard sound to a text message notification sound?

Problem sending text messages to other iPhones
When I send a text message to someone who has an iphone, my name doesnt pop up how they have it in their contacts, my apple ID pops up ([email protected]) in their text. It only happens when i send texts to people with iphones. it doesnt do this with any other phone. This started happening right after i installed ios 5.0.1. please help me figure this out!
Make sure that iMessage is turned on and completely activated. Settings>Messages>iMessages>On

When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well. -
Very often, when I send a text from my IPhone, the response comes to my IPad. Why does this happen???
This is an iMessage, not a text message as in SMS/MMS via your cell phone carrier's network.
This means you have iMessage enabled on each device with the same Apple ID. This is by design and intention when using the same Apple ID on multiple Apple computers and iOS devices. I have iMessage enabled on my Mac, on my iPhone, and on my iPad with the same Apple ID and all my iMessages are kept synced between all three. -
Frustration is setting in after using my new mini iPad. My text messages seem to be limited to iMessages!? Horrible since my friends and family are not all iphone users! Is my iPad limited to iMessages? I cant text my daughter who has the Droid or others that don't have iMessage users!!!
The phone number on the iPad is not active for cell voice, only for cellular data. You are not paying anything for voice or SMS (texting services) on your iPad, only for cell data. Texts to non-iOS devices would have to be SMS and use the cell voice system which is not present on your iPad.
There are apps, such as TextFree, which will assign you a virtual phone number and allow you to emulate sending SMS messages from and to your iPad. -
Is there a way to send text messages on an iPhone instead of iMessages?
My mom and I both have iPhones. My mom has a data plan while I don't, meaning my iPhone is Wi-Fi only while hers isn't. Whenever my mom tries to send me a text it will only send it as an iMessage text, and not an SMS text. Since my iPhone is Wi-Fi only I can only receive her messages if my phone is connected to Wi-Fi. This problem could easily be fixed if my mom just turns off iMessage in the settings, but she would have to constantly turn her iMessage on and off, just so she can send me a text.This has caused many problems because my mom would send me an important message, only to not have it read by me because I can't get her iMessage text without Wi-Fi. Is there a way for her to send me only SMS texts to my iPhone, even if iMessage is still turned on in her settings?
I don't think this works. Even if I turn off iMessage on my iPhone, anyone who has iMessage turned on on their phone will automatically send an iMessage text. For example the picture shows what will show up on a device that has iMessage turned on, when they're about to send a message. As you can see there's an "iMessage" sign in the text box. Wether or not iMessage is turned off on my phone, it doesn't matter to the other device which doesn't know that. It's not like turning off iMessage on my phone will automatically send a message to the other phone saying iMessage is turned off, so they can now start sending SMS texts. So basically, turning off iMessage on my phone does absolutely nothing. Sorry if this was a little confusing.

How do I set-up a group to text message?
1st time user, still learning and getting used to this new iphone 4S.
Am I able to set up and store groups to text message? I have @ 50 people to text message/email frequently and I used to do this with my old phone but I can't figure out how to do it with this one. Please help. Thank you :-)That's unfortunate. You think with all the technology something so simple would not be an issue. I hope they can resolve that with future versions. Had I had known I never would have purchased this phone. Thanks for the info.

How do I stop my macbook from receiving text messages from my iPhone?
After I updated my macbook to Yosemite, I started receiving text messages on it from my iPhone. I want to turn this off, how do I do this?
Hi,
Temporary.
You could Disable the account on the Mac.
You can untick the Receive At option for the iPhone Number as "Alias".
This will cut the number rather stop them completely.
More permanent.
Sign Out button on the Mac version.
Messages will work but the iMessage account will not have an ID to log in with (it will show but will need the password. you change the ID but entering a new one.
Permanent.
Remove the Apple ID for the Settings for the iPhone version.
iOS 8.1 and Yosemite will also allow or can be set up for Text Forwarding as it is called in the settings on the iPhone.
Effectively the two become paired (needs a code number that appears on one to be entered on the other device) rather than just "happening".
This does allow SMS Messages to also be synced between the two.
I am not sure you are talking about this though.
If we have missed what you are after you will have to give more details.

Unable to send text messages to non iphone users

Text messages rely on your cellular carrier's SMS system when going to non-iPhone users. Contact your cellular carrier and make sure your plan includes SMS.
