How to set up iMessage while abroad- no cellular network

I am currently abroad in Vietnam where Verizon Wireless does not connect; meaning I can only use my iPhone with wifi, in airplane mode. I've been trying to set up iMessage, but keep getting the "Waiting for activation..."- is there anyway to set up iMessage while abroad and unable to connect to my wireless network/receive SMS?
Thank you for your time!
Nick

All antennas are off in airplane mode, so you can't use wi-fi. Try it with cellular data off and while you're on a wi-fi network.

How to set up imessages on 3 devices sharing the same apple id?

i have an ipod and iphone and an ipad. i have one apple id for all of them. when i did the ios 5 update it asked me for my apple id to set up icloud, thus being the same for all.
however i have encountered a problem. when trying to set up imessages by default it uses my apple id email address. so all my devices is trying to use the SAME email address for imessages. thats not goint to work because it will be messageing itself! HELP! it doesnt give you the option to change email addresses so what do i do???? how do i set up 3 completely different imessage accounts and still beable to sync between devices??

Facetime only works with two devices at a time. You can have the same Apple ID, but the two devices can't have the same email address. Get a new gmail account. Normally you use wifi for connection, however, with iOS 6 and an iPad 3 you can use cellular.

Because, there's no FTP client command that allows to do such thing.Socket.setSoTimeout().I agree with you on this one but the OP is talking about the FTPClient API from Apache.
To the OP,
BTW, I have reread the Javadoc about the [*API*|http://commons.apache.org/net/api/org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient.html] : indeed, there's no setTimeout method, but there is a setDataTimeout method : +Sets the timeout in milliseconds to use when reading from the data connection+ .

How to set software library while as a preinstallation step of Appl mgmt pa

Hi All,
As a pre installation step of Application management pack
while setting up the software library.
Iam getting the below error.
Software Library directory, /u01/oracle10g_grid/grid102_home/oms10g/sysman/prov/paf, is not accessible from following host(s): ceserp.computechcorp.net, ceserp.computechcorp.net. Error Details: Normal preferred credentials are not set for following host(s): ceserp.computechcorp.net, ceserp.computechcorp.net. Follow Preferences > Preferred Credentials > Set Credentials (Host) links to set normal preferred credentials
Iam getting the above error.
and how to set the default credentials by the following navigation.
Enterprise manager version is 10.2.05
please help me out
Thanks,
Vinay

You can set credentials only for those targets whish are registered in GRID and are visible in console.
hosts must be already registered and visible in console.. and they must appear in hosts list...
Once they are visible, then follow the steps to set credentials and there you will find the host name..

HT5661 how to set pic display while calling to contact ?

how to set pic display on calling to contact person ?

Hello HaD,
The image control is installed with either the Vision Development Module or the NI-IMAQ driver, and is not a standard component found in LabVIEW. If you have questions about the image display control or vision functions it would be better to post in the Machine Vision forum:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=200
In regards to your question, this menu is not available as a runtime property, and therefore the user of program will not be able to set it directly through the control. Instead, you will need to allow the user to set it programmatically in LabVIEW by use of a property node.
To create this property node, right-click on the image display icon on your program's block diagram, and select:
Create » Property Node » Palette » Palette Type.
You will then be able to change the value of this property by right-clicking on the property node icon and selecting "Change All To Write". To create a control on the front panel that the user change at runtime, right-click on the “Palette Type” input, select:
Create » Control
If you have any questions about the application architecture required to implement this design, please continue to post in the LabVIEW forum.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jasper

How to set photometricInterpretation property while storing TIFF using JAI?

I am converting JPG Grey Sale image in to bilevel image and saving in TIFF format with Group IV compression.
When I view the output TIFF, some applications displaying it properly and some others by inverting the image.
After a long time, I found that photometricInterpretation property is used to control this property of White_on_Black or Black_on_White in TIFF files.
In web I have found that, if we use IndexColorModel, then there is no problem. But, I am not using it and I don't know how to set color model of RenderedOp to IndexColorModel. Did anybody know it?
Is there any other way to set the PHOTOMETRICINTERPRETATION property ?
Any solution or suggestions are welcome...

How to set up Time Capsule as an additional network

I have the 1 TB Time Capsule and I set it up as "creating a wireless network". It is connected via Ethernet to my linksys router. How do I set it up so that I have two wi-fi networks running? Options are a) join a wireless network b) connect to a network using Ethernet to extend the network or create a second network.

When you say faster speed, are you taking about using the 802.11n 5GHz protocols?
If that is the case, then you arrange for the TimeCapsule to join the existing network, and configure it to "Bridge" the ethernet to WiFi.
My assumption is that the other WiFi is 802.11g, so leave that one alone.
Back on the TimeCapsule, you configure it so it using 5GHz frequences ONLY.
You configure TC so it has its own SSID (network name).
Now Macs (or other systems) that are 802.11n WiFi capable can connect to the TC network name (SSID), and your older 802.11g devices can use the other WiFi base station.
If the TimeCapsule is a dual radio system, then you can configure the 2.4GHz radio so that it uses the same SSID and password as your existing WiFi base station, only have it use a different channel (you do not what the original and the TC 802.11g radio fighting over the same channel. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are best, but if you have conflicts with neighbors, try for something that doesn't conflict and is 5 or more channels away from your other 802.11g base station.

How to set up iMessages?

I already have my phone and computer connected, and it works well I just have a couple of questions about where to receive and send them.
I want to be able to send messages from my computer, but still be able to read the conversation from my phone, however I don't know how to do that. I can see them from my computer but they are not showing on my phone.
Also, how do I not let the other person see my e-mail address? When I send messages from my computer, the other person has two different conversations: with my phone number, and my email.
Apple gives the options on where to be reached at, and where to send them to. But I am entirely confused as to which boxes I should click so that I can set up my iMessages how I want to.
Any feedback is welcome:)

Hi imjessiesgirl,
Have you set up your iMessage option on both your phone and your Mac? If so, then you should have both your phone number and your email address(es) checked in the set up for iMessage in both places under the "You can be reached at iMessage at:" section.
Under "Start new conversations from", you have the option to select your phone number or your email address on both the phone and the Mac. You can select your phone number in both places, or your email address in both places, or not. I have my phone "Start new...." set with my phone number and my Mac set with my email address....
The places you do the setting up are:
Mac: Messages>Preferences>Accounts
iPhone: Settings>Messages
Post back if you have any specific questions about one or the other....
Cheers,
GB

Actually, I'm writing a "HashMap" from servlet to applet. I have used your suggested content type "application/octet-stream" and another "appication/x-java-serialized-object" to try it. But in applet side, when I use (HashMap)in.readObject(), it always gives me a exception as:"java.util.HashMap; IllegalAccessException". Why?
Thankd.

Thanks.Post DB version ( 4 digit )
Take a 10Mb per user to start with ( some kind of rule I use to use )
You can only start tuning the memory later on, when the database is under load.

How to set up imessage on multiple devices?

It used to be simple: imessages showed up on all your devices. It seems that Apple wanted to make it more flexible, you can specify which addresses to use for which device. Now it is not the usual Apple user-friendly.
I have four Apple devices, and my wife has two. What I want is that any message I send from one of my four Apple devices show up on both her Apple devices, and vica versa. Right now, I never know where a message may show up. If I send a message from my iMac, it may go to her iPhone, but not her iPad, and her reply comes back to my iMac, but does not show up on my iPhone. I have added all email addresses to all devices, to no avail. The other day I used half an hour experimenting with her iphone, and finally managed to make messages from my iPad show up on her iPhone, by playing around with different settings. But I did not manage to make messages from my iPad show up on her iPad. This is not the way Apple is supposed to be.
So, my question: is there a simple way to completely synchronize all my four Apple devices so they show the same messages? As mentioned, I have already added all email addresses to all devices, so the settings should be the same (BUT: it used to be possible to add an iPhone phone number as an 'email' address to a non iPhone device. No longer it seems).

I would say to check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755 about troubleshooting messages, this one addresses the iCloud account overall http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436 and this one has to do with activations of iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268. You might need to remove the iCloud account from one of the devices you are having difficulty with and re-establish it.

How to set up IMessage on my mac:

My phone number for my Iphone 4s is associated with my Apple ID however, it does not show up in my IMessage preferences on my mac and thus all messages I send from iMessage are sent from my Apply ID email.

Hi,
I have just noticed that your original Posts lists OS 10.8
and not OS X 10.8.2
Your phraseology in the last post made me look again.
Does you iMessage Account pane look like this ?
At OS X 10.8.2 Update the Messages App is updated to version 7.0.1
This changes the pic above (the Sign Out and Detail Buttons are no on the "Front" part)
The Send From Drop down has been added at the bottom. (You may only get this with Two active "Receive" names/iPhone Numbers)
It used to look like this
