How to get iMessage on an older iOS version?

my friend is running iOS 4.3 and she wants to use iMessage, not any other third party app like iMessage, and without having to update because she doesn't have enough free space for the latest update. I have read in places that you can use iMessage on iOS 4 and later. She has FaceTime and says she any find the iMessage icon, so how does she get it, if it's possible? Thanks

To run iMessage on an iOS device, you need to update to iOS 5 or later. I suppose it's possible to run it on an older OS with a jailbreak, but you'll have to look beyond these forums for that info.
Has your friend looked at what is taking up all of her space? She might be able to delete an app or two that she's not using. It's not just music and videos that take up space; sometimes apps eat up a lot of data.
See Settings --> General --> Usage. This will show you how much data is being used by each app.

    Then you should have iMessage.  Go to Settings > Messages to turn it on and set your Receive At address.  Note that iMessage uses the Messages app... standard texts are gree, iMessages are blue.

    How can I update to the latest ios version on my ipod touch?

    Check to see what model of iPod you have:

    If you have a second-generation iPod, the last version of iOS it can run is iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod touch, see:

  • App Store will not Install compatible apps for older iOS versions.

    Note to Apple, fix the App store so we can install a compatible version of an app for older iOS versions.
    My iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1. If I want to install a new app with this device ( one I have not ever installed), and the latest app says iOS 7 and above, ithe app store won't let me install an older compatible version, even if older versions used to be previously available . 
    I think Apple is trying to convince me to buy a Galaxy Tab for my next tablet.  They are basically telling me to throw away my old iPad because it is no longer compatible with the newest iOS version 7 on the app store. You want that new app? If the latest version is only ios7 compatible, you're outta luck sukka.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. Whether an older version of an app is available depends upon the developer.

  • How to get item field values for old versions?

    I need to be able to query old field values from previous versions of items in a SharePoint list. I can't execute code on the server (it needs to work with SharePoint Online/O365 for a start).
    So far the ONLY API I've that lets me do this is the lists.asmx GetVersionCollection SOAP call.
    This lets me specify a single field name and returns an XML structure with the values for the various versions, along with the modification time and who made the change - but NO reliable way of actually identifying *which* version (i.e. an ID or label). That
    is, if I know I need to fetch the Title value from version 512 ("1.0") of item 1 in list "Documents", I don't see how to reliably parse the results to determine which entry is version 512. While they may be returned in order, in many cases
    the entries are actually missing when there was no field value present (or perhaps when the field hadn't been created yet). I've tried comparing the Modified date to the Created date of the corresponding FileVersion item (which I can get via CSOM or REST),
    and while it works some of the time, it's not reliable. I've also looked at the output from the lists.asmx GetVersion API but I don't see how that's useful either, as the Created property for all versions always seems to be just the date the file was originally
    created.
    It does seem odd to me that there's not a neat way of doing this - if I need to return information for several fields but just for a single version, I have to make a whole lot of requests that return far more info than I need, and then I need to figure out
    how to parse the returned text in the case of, say, multiple-value taxonomy fields etc.
    Anyone tried doing anything similar here?
    Thanks
    Dylan

  • TS4268 what apple write here is now work for me. If anyone know how to activate imessage on iPhone 5 ios 7.1.1 please kindly share how?

    Since i upgarde my iPhone 5 to the latest ios 7.1.1, it doesn't work on iMessage. I've tried to follow the instruction posted by Apple but it still not work for me. It appear " iMessage unsuccessful activation" after i waiting for activation for a while. If anyone know how to get it successful please kindly share, HOW ?

    I should also add: There's no pending downloads in the iTunes store on my device or App store. There are some pending downloads linked to my account, but they have been there for quite a while and have never been a problem before. Additionally, if these apps WERE the issue, I figure they would've begun to download on my device after I succesfully typed my password in.

  • How to get and install an older ISO on iphone 4s

    I have an old iphone 4S I have kept only for my grandson to play games on.  He likes Lasertag.  the game worked fine until I updated to ISO7.  I have reloaded Lasertag twice and it still will now work.  I would like to reinstall ISO6 on this phone.  I do not know how to get it nor how to reinstall it.
    Please help.  Jerry ****

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • How to get Complete Collection on GarageBand IOS.

    I'm wondering how to get the complete instrument and sound collection for the new IOS 7 GarageBand.

    Hi Maaz,
    Indeed the history of data is not managed by Project Server as you would like. Unless you have small projects that allow you keeping data history with the 11 baselines, the solution would be to have a monthly job saving appropriate data into a custom data
    base using T-SQL.
    Hope this helps,

    11 baselines are not enough to save monthly Progress in %Complete. monthly job saving couldn't be a reliable solution ....

  • How can I return to the previous ios version?

    Version 7 is a step backward for me.
    >The Calendar does an awful job displaying the All-Day Events.
    >I can't figure out how to get the previous search page showing web search and Wikipedia search.
    >Where is an easy to follow description of the changes from the previous version?
    >>Overall, this is a less attractive interface and less intuitive than version 6. 

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • The SharePoint Site more compatible so that the site get open smoothly on iPad IOS version 7.0.1?

    How to make the SharePoint portal compatible with iPAD.
    Please help me by considering  the following points, discovered in real time scenario, while doing R&D:
    The site opens using the IP address but on repeated testing done to open site, facing the issue of loading the site.
    The site does not display any error, the page just does not load, credential screen does not appear.
    Internet is used on iPAD through Wi-Fi as well as 3G. I had tested through Wi-Fi. Another site (HR) hosted does not give any issues.
    Browsing is done through Safari in the iPAD.
    The IOS version on the problematic iPAD - 7.0.1
    Actual issues that client facing are:
    sometimes it prompts for credentials twice or more
    and when it does not , site does not even load
    nor does the site prompt for credentials also

    Is this site set up to use Kerberos authentication only? Sounds like it is either set up with Kerberos (hence multiple auth prompts) and is not set up for NTLM, or Safari is unable to perform fallback when Kerberos fails.
