    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

  • Why does cloud logo not appear next to some songs in my iTunes library?  Does it not save them for some reason?

    Why does cloud logo not appear next to some songs in my iTunes library?  Does it not save them for some reason?

    Hello!
    The cloud logo means that you purchased these songs from the iTunes Store but haven't downloaded them to your computer yet. If you want, click the clouds to download the songs and the cloud logo's will disappear for those songs too.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

    I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
    Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
    Setup
    So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
    In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
    I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
    At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
    Goal
    However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
    Tried
    So...I click on iTunes DJ.
    I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
    I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
    Problem
    However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
    Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
    Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
    I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
    The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
    Question
    So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
    I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
    ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Why does my Videocast not appear in the iTunes Store

    Hello,
    i recently started an videocast and puplished it to iTunes, but until now you can only access the videocast by searching for it.
    Why does not it appear in the Store while Browsing through the categories or in the "New" segment?
    Below the feed for the videocast.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Don't worry, this is a problem that I have experienced in submitting all of my podcasts, and I believe it all boils down to this.
    The people behind the iTunes Music Store only select a few of the new podcasts that they personally like to appear in the "New and Notable" section. This is why in your podcast name and episode names, you should try to include key words that sum up your podcast/vodcast. For example, my podcast is one which supplies various DJ mixes - so I make sure to call my podcast "House Music - Dirty, Filthy & Electro House DJ Mixes" so it has a higher chance of coming up when people search "music", "DJ" or "electro".
    I know it's annoying because to have your podcast or vodcast appear there would be very helpful in spreading the word about your podcast, but Apple just won't do it. I might suggest sending them an email asking how you would go about approving it for the "New and Notable" section, but I have never tried this so there's no guarantee of an answer, or even a reply.
    Hope this all helps. Good luck with the vodcast.

  • Why does the iPhone not have expandable memory (i.e. MicroSD Chips)?

    I know that many phones come with a MicroSD slot to come with the phone, but why does Apple NOT provide a slot for the iPhone. I would like to know the answer to this hardware puzzle, because many competing phones have these advantages. The only upside I see in the iPhone is web versatility and stability, and that's diminishing very very fast.

    Why close it? Some people might be interested in reading it.
    No, posting on a site for a different product saying your product doesn't meet my needs make it like a Surface is trolling. Chiding someone who made a comment 2 years ago who isn't even here is trolling.
    Basically what you did was buy a product that you knew didn't have 2 important features that you think are essential and now you want Apple to add that. And even if they did add that then you would be posting about the fact that you can't copy anything to the USB or microSD device and you can't copy apps, documents, etc. Which is because iDevices don't have an accessible file system. And you've already mentioned you want that. Due to security reasons it isn't going to happen.
    What you've said you need is a table that is a full computer. You need to buy the Surface Pro (skip the RT, there are limitations you will not be happy with). It will give you a USB port, accessories for a microSD and a fully accessible file system.
    The good news is Apple's devices hold resale value far, far better than any other comparable devices. So sell yours and get a Surace Pro. You will be glad you did.

  • Why does my IPod not appear in Compter or Device Manager or ITunes using Windows 7?

    My 5th generation IPod does not appear on ITunes.  Likewise, it does not appear in my OS Windows 7 in the folder:  Computer nor does it appear in the window:  Device Manager.  Is this because Windows 7 does not recognize the IPod?  I've had my new computer (1TB, Win. 7, etc) for several months which replaced an older computer with OS Win. XP.  The IPod worked fine on XP and I suspect Win. 7 is the issue here?  Correct?  Windows 7 doesn't recognize several devices and feel like it's planned obsolescence!  What is the alternative here if it's Win 7?  I have no plans/interest to buy a new IPod, btw!

    Hello Gary,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was no longer recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps to assist with getting iTunes to recognize your iPod on a Windows computer:

  • Why does one image not appear in an email?

    In an email with 5 images only one of them is replaced by a box with a small icon of a page in the center instead of an image and I cannot figure out why this image is being blocked/not appearing. When I right-click on the image and select "Inspect Element" I get Adblock Plus references that say "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)" and "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)". Is it possible that the image is no longer available from the sender of the email? Thanks for any help you may offer.   

    Sound like the actual image was not in the email, but a link to the image was. When you tried to retrieve the image, the server it di not respond.

    Your Mac is running 10.5.8 or later and iTunes 10?
    You are connecting the iPad direct to a USB port on your Mac and you have tried every port?
    You have reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service?
    If your Mac is running Snow Leopard - 10.6, have you checked this link?
