How to cancel iMessage completely?

I'm using an iPhone 4, and I am not aloud to use 3G. Therefor, all iDevice users find me in iMessage and text me in that. I do not recieve texts from any iMessage user until I am in wifi, so how do I just completely 100% unsubscribe or cancel iMessage?

Here goes:
First, you need to create a new Apple ID...must be a verified email address. Next, make sure your contacts, calendars & iTunes content are on your computer...remember, we're going "nuclear"...you're gonna lose ALL data on your phone...messages...app data...everything. You won't be restoring from backup. Then, on your phone: turn off FaceTime, iMessage & delete the iCloud account...settings>iCloud>scroll down>delete account. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When you go to reactivate/setup again, select "new" device, & use your new Apple for iCloud. Once setup, you can activate FaceTime, but do not turn iMessage on or activate it. Go into Settings>iTunes/App store & use your old ID...if your new ID is shown, tap it, sign out, then sign back in with your old ID. Now, connect to iTunes & sync your contacts & iTunes content back to the phone.
That should do it.
Make a full backup before you proceed in case you change your mind or want to go back.

    Brian,
    Again, not accurate. When Match is "turned off" all of the Matched song instances are still shown in the Ibrary and all devices still stream - so, if you have your songs also stored on your local drive (which I choose to as one does not always have access to WiFi and I use the local instances of the songs for some music production/DJing), iTunes shows each song twice.  This is cumbersome if you simply want to play an album - you have to hear each song twice. There is no reason technologically they could not simply show the metadata for a song only once and simply hit the cloud object store when it it is not found as a local disk target. This would solve some of the issues and it is pretty much how any content delivery network (CDN) works - and this is how my local Genius Bar assured me it would work before I bought the service. I found they know little about Match.
    Other issues: I believe the "exclusive" Cloud Playtlist logic still stands - iTunes protests if you add a non-Matched song to a Playlist (as it assumes you want all Playlists to be cloudy). Also, the APLCARE person and I  could not figure out what "Removed" (under Cloud Status) means despite looking up several explanations on the Web. And, we found songs that were only in the cloud that should have also been on my local drive as I never deleted them. That said, it is also a pain to fully delete a song (local + the cloud). Plus, the logic in the Purchased section around what constitutes "Not On Computer" did not hold up. They have lots of logical challenges with thier workflow.
    Regardingyour suggestion, there is no way to "not use" Match. Only when one is disconnected from the iTunes store does Match seem to go away completely.The only thing you can turn off is the song syncing/matching/uploading. This amounts only to turning off a sub-process not the service.
    Match is likely fine for most who do not want to have any copy of the songs locally and are fine having access to their music only when connected via WiFi. I wanted more ubiquitous access to my collection from my iPad and my iPhone but needed to keep my songs local to my MBP too. This is not the proper use case as I have learned.
    Of course I won't renew, but I should be able to cancel a service that I am dissatisfied with.

  • How to disable iMessage for a single contact?

    Hello apple communites, I have a simple and hopefully simple to answer question..
    I am curious as to how to disable iMessaging for a single contact.  My sister when she got her phone number originally had an iPhone, she has since gotten an android and kept the same phone number.  However I am running into issues with text messages to her, my phone still thinks she has an iPhone and continues to send every text as an iMessage, resulting in a failed message.  I can easily hit the "send again as a text message" option and the message/picture sends as normal.  I however find this a bit fustrating, and have tried everything I can think of to attempt to disable this.  However all the online tutorials I can find regarding disabling iMessage turns the feature off completly, I don't wish to do that. 
    I have attempted to completely delete, (including all existing all texts and call history), and then re-add the contact, but that does not work either, my iPhone still attempts to send messages to my sister as an iMessge. Any help, if any, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your sister needs to disable iMessage on her iPhone if the iPhone is still available if she hasn't already done so.
    If she has, does she have iMessage enabled with the same Apple ID on another iOS device or on a Mac as was used to activate iMessage on her iPhone?

  • How to cancel a service request?

    I had been running the Ipod in the car and noticed it had gone into the red. I turned it off and it went off normally. When I got home I hooked it to the computer to charge and it froze up completely, no response to anything, hold button, click wheel, weirdest yet, the backlight stayed on permanantly. And the computer did not recognize that it was even connected in Itunes or as a drive.
    So I freaked out a bit and after an hour or so while( after trying what I could which was basically holding controls down and flipping the hold button off and on ) I gave up and put in a service request, and went to bed.
    The next day, I noticed that the Ipod was dark ( which I expected since the battery was almost gone and the backlite was stuck on ). But just for fun I press the clickwheel on and lo and behold, it came back on as normal. I hooked it up to the computer as usual and it was visible to Itunes and the computer as it should have before. So I went through the reset process just in case and relaoded my music.
    So I guess there should be a 6th "R" Let it sit over night and see if it still screwed up the next day
    Now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to cancel a service after already receiving the return box Which was very fast by the way. Like, 2 days. Anyway, I looked all over the support site and could not find anything that looked like what I needed.
    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to cancel the service request?

  • How to cancel an UIView animation?

    If I have started an UIView animation using the UIView animation methods, how to cancel the animation while it is being executed?

    This issue seems to be somewhat complicated.
    There doesn't seem to be any direct way of telling a view to stop animating immediately (either by leaving the view to its current state or moving it immediately to its final state). It also tends to sometimes behave erratically when you try to interrupt an ongoing animation by starting a new one on the same view.
    What would be great is if there was some way of telling a view to stop animating immediately and to remove itself from the animation engine (or whatever it is), similarly to how you can eg. tell an NSTimer to invalidate itself immediately. This would make it easy to then eg. restart the animation or do something else with the view without having to worry about the view still changing after you tried to do something else with it, or about extraneous animationDidStop selector calls (which could mess up things). However, as far as I can see, there's no such feature in UIView.
    What you can try is to start a very short animation and set the animationDidStop selector to call whatever you wanted to do with the view at that point (eg. restart the animation). However, there doesn't seem to be any completely foolproof way of making this work for sure.
    Firstly, you have to make sure that the view actually changes from its current state, else UIView will just skip animating it and never call your new animationDidStop selector, which is a huge nuisance. This also seems to be somehow buggy; in some situations only changing eg. the location of the view or only changing its alpha doesn't properly trigger the animation, while sometimes it does.
    Secondly, it seems to be somewhat erratic whether UIView will call the original animationDidStop selector besides the newly defined one or not. What is worse the original selector might be called after the new one, as if the original animation never actually stopped. Thus you end up with one single animated view calling two different selectors at different points in time, which can mess things up pretty efficiently. And annoyingly, this only happens sometimes, not always.
