  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • I have an ipod 3g with version 4.2.1 but will not let me update that

    I have an ipod 3g with version 4.2.1 but will not let me update that, I get a sign with the legend "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version."
    but when I want to download apps actualize asks me to ios 5

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I have a apple ibook G4 and it will not let me download nothing what can i do about this

    My Ibook G4 will not let me download nothing

    Could you describe the applications, programs, items, or content it won't download?
    Given you state the iBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11 Tiger installed, is a dated and obsoleted system, the newest OS X version it could use would be from a retail Leopard OS X 10.5 DVD, then updated with a download file to 10.5.8 from Software Updates. With that (the highest version of OS X any PowerPC based G3/G4/G5 can run) a few more options are available, given support for that newer system (now also not actively upgraded) was from a more recent era and a few browsers, a later but not new Flash plugin, and a few items are still available.
    You can get a few later browsers that will work OK in OS X 10.4.11, one is TenFourFox, based on FireFox from Mozilla code; another is iCab, works free -- but asks you to buy license. Others for older PowerPC Macs seem to only support Leopard 10.5.8, such as SeaMonkeyPPC. The coding behind these is different so the people who volunteered to rebuild workable browsers have tried to ecomomize, yet still help us older system and hardware users be able to go online. These browser builds may have limits online, as the web has newer content and some items may not work in the older code. But they do OK. I use the above browsers, as the Safari browser is not supported and sees no later security updates. I have it too.
    If you are trying to get a later OS X system, you could only get & use Leopard 10.5(.8) in retail DVD, perhaps from Apple Sales Support for a fee, if available; as a replacement or upgrade. Or look online for retail and not computer-specific install discs; as those grey label discs from other computers won't work in a different series.
    You may be able to find a fair value in a previously owned older MacBook, some companies offer them repaired and running, with a limited guaranty of a sort. See OWC online for used computers, or a company such as wegenermedia, who repairs computers, has parts, and some inventory online. Or if you want a later model and are in the market, the Apple special deals page for refurbished models can be found from the online Store page, in the US.
    Hopefully you can find what you need.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Itunes no longer working.  Trying to download update, but will not let me -

    I bought an Itouch for my 17yr old daughter for Christmas. She loved it when she was at my house, but then took it home and the trouble began. Itunes on her computer is not opening, everything else seems to be working fine. She tried to download the latest version of Itunes but it would not let her. A window came up and stated she needed to remove her old Itunes first. She tried that but when she tried to remove the program it would not let her...... short of getting a new computer, any help?

    Sounds like windows is having issues on her PC... Buying a new computer might be an extreme resolve...
    First question though, does the PC support the minimum requirements for the iPod? If so I'd think about maybe doing asystem restore... If have the restore discs from the original PC purchase? OR does the vendor (like HP or such) on that client allow you to make them? As this might be a quick 3 hour resolve if you do a system restore back to factory defaults and get a clean copy of windows on her device.
    DO NOTE: that you will loose other things, so you should back up your data before completing this task.
    Otherwise if it doesn't meet the needs or you don't want to do a restore, then you can always do a service for support (like a local computer place to see thier thoughts) or do the extreme and acquire a new device... As its your choice and your money...

  • G5 desktop running 10.5.1 keep   getting a message to  update but will not install downloaded update

    this power mac will not update from a downloaded software just hangs at about 10 per cent

    Backup your data at least twice to two separate media:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    Shut down and remove that media.
    Download and install 10.5.8 combo from here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    Repair permissions from Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility -> First Aid, and selecting the hard drive.
    You should now be able to use Software Update for any updates that work with 10.5.8 PowerPC.  Any that only work with Intel macs, you'll need a newer Mac.

  • Need to move Acrobat v8 from old computer to new. Have license number, but will not let me deactivate. What should I do?

  • I am a subscriber to a web site that no longer allows me to connect. The message I receive is,"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address that will not complete." Why, and what can I do to fix it?

    I am using a new computer with the latest version of FF on it. When the problem began, I was using an older computer that had a virus and malware on it. I have not yet cleaned the files from the old computer and consequently have not transferred any of them. I don't understand why I am having this same problem. I am not experienced with FF and wonder if there is some setting that I need to change.

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL, change the top option to '''Everything '''and in the bottom menu, checkmark '''Cache '''(uncheck all the others). Then click '''Clear Now'''.
    Then go to '''Tools''' | '''Options '''| '''Advanced '''and in the Network tab | Offline Storage menu, click '''Clear Now'''.
    Then go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''Privacy''', click '''Show Cookies '''button and delete the cookies for lumosity.com.
    Then try again.

  • ITUNES WILL NOT LET ME DOWNOAD IT BECAUSE OF CODE 2738!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

    When I try to upgrade to itunes 7.3 or 7 it said that there was something wrong with the package. It said code 2738 was the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

    You won't be able to redeem it unless you are here in the UK with a UK billing address on your account - all iTunes gifts (including gift cards) are country-specific.
    Your friend could try resending it to somebody else who is in the UK : Resend iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
    Or, and if they've been charged, they can try contacting iTunes Support to cancel it and get a refund :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
    Is yours the original ipod touch?
