  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • How do you use imessages on "Mountain Lion"

    How do you use i-messages on Mountain Lion, Several analysis of the new operating system seem to say you can do that but  I tried to send a message to my Ipod, Iphone and I-Pad from the new operating system " Mountain Lion"  But I guess I got things set up wrong it did not work.  I got no messages from the I-Mac.
    Since I am a new I-Mac used ( Have a ipod, ipad & Iphone) would like to be able to send Imessages from my I-Mac and can't figure out how to do that. I keeps wanting to send AIM messages and when I go to change it to I Cloud mesages I don't see I-Cloud on the list???

    Joe thanks for the reply but I am still confused here is the problem:
    I opened The accounts window and went to my ME.com account but it wants me to set up an AIM account , what is that all about . I was sure I was sending the messages thru the apple server .
    Second I am a PC person and this is my wifes I-Mac,  so I am new to MACS but I have used PC's for 35 years. 
    She wants to be able to send me I-Messages for her MAC that is why I am trying to set this up for her.   She is NOT a Techie and so she depends on me.  I am very confused by the MAC as I have buily trouble shoot and fixed PS (not as a profession but as a hobby) I am trying to get used to the MAC so I can help my wife. As I have an IPOD and an 4S I-Phone. Now you know the whole story.  Sorry to bore you with the details but I was sure it would help you give me a better Idea of where to go to correct the AIM situation.
    OK when I go to the ME.com account there is no where where I see Caller ID???
    What I see is My wifes e-mail a Bonjour ( imactive) account, &  Yahoo account.  I may be in the wrong place
    Toi be frank I don't see an Imessages account.  Under mail accounts I see My wifes 5 e-mail accounts and one of them is a .ME account ( I assume that is the icloud account) but where it says account type it says AIM how do I change it to an I Cloun account?
    OK the next question when you say click on the DOCK I go to system preferences and click on DOC and I get some screen that shows SIZE, Magnification Position on screen and so on.
    When I go to the Finder and click on Applications I get a window that says messages but there is nothing on that window that I can adjust?
    Help Where is i messages

  • How do you use imessage on the ipad 2 with wifi

    Whenever I try to use iMessage, it says message failed. Im not sure if it's because I only have the iPad 2 with wifi, not the 3G? Anyone help?!?!?!?!???

    The recipient of any iMessage you send has to have an iPhone, iPad, iPod.

  • How do I use iMessage between an iPhone & an iPod Touch?

    How do I use iMessage between an iPhone & an iPod Touch?

    Set up iMessage on both devices and when th touch has wifi you can iMessage to it

  • How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

    How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

    There is some instability in  iMessage.  It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use. 
    I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone. 
    ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
    On the iPad 2, same thing.  Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
    On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage.  That fixed it.   Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
    I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
    If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it. 
    Why?  (beware, some of this is guesswork)
    iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network).  It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi.  If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message.  If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line.  If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up. 
    In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses.  That is where the problem happenes.  zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem.  Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem.  I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'. 
    To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8    Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen.  Now go run iMessage.  After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank.  Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

  • How do you send iMessage TO an iPad?

    How do you send iMessage TO an iPad? Everyone tells me to send message to the Apple ID email. The problem is that I can only type numbers in the send to box. Even selecting contact from addressbook I can only choose a phone number, not the email. So for the iPad I can send iMessages to an iPhone but not to iPod or iPad becasue these devices dun hv a number.

    When I tap on the compose button it automattically brings up the keyboard.  Yours doesn't do that?  Also, when I begin typing the name of a contact, it defaults to their phone number.  If I scroll down, then I can see emails for contacts with that name.  Hope you get it figured out!
    Another tip is to make sure that your ipad is set up to receive messages using a different email than your iphone.  You can change that in your settings.

  • How do you use Default Resource Access Information?

    I have some 10g Forms & Reports that I want to use with SSO and they will all be connecting to the database with the same connection info. I know how to configure a Default Resource Access Information, but how do you use this with Forms & Reports?

    Douglas,
    the default Resource Access Infomation should be the connection information right? This is used in conjunction with SSO. You need to configure your F&R applications to delegate authentication to SSO by placing ssoMode=true in the config section of formsweb.cfg.
    The Forms Servlet will connect to OID retrieve the Resource Access Information (descriptor) for a given user and automatically log them into the application.
    Users will need a global identity in OID and SSO must be enabled to use resource access info with F&R

  • How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

    Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
    I'll try this once more.
    1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
    2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
    I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

    Thanks so much!
    Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
    The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
    I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

  • How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

    How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
    Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
    1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
    2. The reason to select a leading check box
    3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
    4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
    Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
    Thanks

    As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
    Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
    Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
    That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
    If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
    Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
    Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

  • How do you use ReadyHosting's myLittleTools?

    A client I do some work for occasionally, has normally wanted me to add links to various partner websites. These have all been pretty small over the years I’ve done this work for him, like make 5 at most. Well now he’s hit me
    with about 2 dozen partners that he wants a link to. When it gets to this point I think of databases.
    I created a MS SQL Server database on Ready Hosting’s server, associated with my client’s account. (Got his permission before doing so.) Then I created a user for that, so that I could get into it. Ready Hosting uses something
    called “myLIttleTools” for managing and administering one’s SQL Server databases on their servers. So I tried going into it, entering the credentials that I created. But it refuses to allow me to log in. I get the following error message:
    “Error -2147217843
    Login failed for user ‘MyID'.
    Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=ReadyHostingServer;Initial Catalog=ClientDB;User Id=MyID;Password=MyPassword;Connect Timeout=120;”
    (Clearly I’ve changed the credentials here; they’re not what I’ve created.)
    Two days ago I opened a help ticket with them. Still haven’t heard from them.
    So I’m asking here, does anyone have any experience with SQL Server database management on ReadyHosting? How am I supposed to log in when it refuses to accept the credentials for the user I created on it? They want you to use
    this “myLittleTools” thing, but WOW how do you use that when you’re prevented from even getting into the door?
    Rod

    Readyhosting is still around? They were a really good host back at the turn of the century then were bought by a company that proceeded to hire incompetents and became totally unreliable. I'd have thought they folded a decade ago.
    As others said, this is an issue to be resolved through Readyhosting's support personnel. EW is not really deigned for managing database servers. If their connection permits it you can use the MS SQL tools to manage remotely (doubt they allow it though)
    and most people use MS Web Developer Express for their database work on small websites not EW.
