How to not be given an iMessage option

I had an iPhone and recently switched to a Nokia Lumia. However, I'm not getting a lot of texts, particularly people with iPhones. They have said their phone automatically sends the texts as an iMessage, so I never get it. I called my provider and after giving them the serial number for my phone, it still wasn't fixed. I called again and ended up backing up and restoring the phone and it seemed to work, but my friends say that every once in a while, it will still automatically send their text as an iMessage. What do I do to get rid of this?
Thanks

If you can put your SIM card into your old iPhone and DEACTIVATE iMessage, that should do the trick.
If not, call Apple and have them disassociate your phone # from iMessage.

How to not display email in imessage header OR delete old appleid to free up social email address for imessage

Hi,
I have a business email and a separtate "social" email that i use for friends etc. The business email I have is signed up to Itunes/appstore for my iPad3.
So I want to display my "social" email instead to my contacts that I imessage, but NOT sign up to itunes with this email (i dont mind varifying it).
The PROBLEM is that years ago I must have signed onto itunes and now have the "social" email address as an appleid. Now when I try to use this email for the "recieve at" setting, it does not let me. Also the PROBLEM is that you can never delete an appleid!!!!!!
I DO NOT want to have to add yet another email account for this, and I want one that my friends will recognise!
how do I either:
1) delete that old appleid so I can use this email for imessage?
OR
2) Hide my business email on the "From" imessage header?
Thanks.

All good, I loved with AppStore and now everything seems to be back to normal.

How do I change my alternate apple id from the old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. Thx

How do I change my alternate apple id which is an old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. This old email address has already been removed from alternate email options but does not want to leave the alternate ID position! Thx

Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod. I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

Another poster said that if you sign out of your iTunes Store account, go to the item you wish to gift, and select "gift" and go through the purchase process, it will then ask you for your account information and send the gift. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a go.

Phone after restart asking for unlock pattern which I have not set and no other option is given

Hi all, my Z3 Compact phone was heating up a lot in the recent summer days. At some point it was not reacting and not booting. So I pressed the yellow OFF button next to the nano card SIM holder.http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz3compact/userguide/Resetting-your-device/ After this, the phone restarted and it is asking me for an unlock pattern, which I had never set before.It is not offering me any other option like Google identification or security question. And after 5 wrong attempts it tells me to wait 30 sec. I can see that the phone is working, I receive calls and can see that messages arrive. But I can't unlock the phone!! I tried a hard reset using PC companion but it complains and says that I need to have the screen unlocked to continue! So also no solution there! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not have a "phone number". Your ipad has a cellular access number and can't make phone calls.
You must use your apple ID email for imessage and FaceTime on iPad.

Have you chacked with your carrier. The message you are getting seems to relate to a carrier issue and not something to do with the phone itself

Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.

I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.
