    You can sync music to the iphone from your computer.  It is one of the most basic functions of the iphone.

  • A friends husband has a new phone and can't send messages to his wife's old phone. Checked all settings under message

    What's the problem if a  new iPhone can't send texts to an old iPhone?  All settings are correct under messages.

    Hi staceyh94, 
    Welcome to the forum!
    Message sending can be interrupted by weak signal in your area. Also avoid touching the antenna area while trying to send a message. Contact with antennas (e.g. casings with magnets) affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power level during operation. The antenna is located at the lower portion on the back of your phone. 
    You can also try to reset the phone by Settings> about> reset my phone. Note that resetting will delete all the data on your phone and will set to the "out of the box" state. But you can share your important photos to Skydrive for safe keeping. Contacts are normally saved on you Microsoft account.
    Please report back if this helps.

  • When I select messages it wont go to main message menu it stays locked and I can't send messages to anyone else. How do I get back to the main message menu? select anyone else

    How can I get to the main message menu? It stays locked on one persons messages and won't let me message anyone else. Can anyone help me?

    You should be able to tap a different conversation you already have open. Try tapping the write new message button, it looks like the square with the pencil icon, right next to the word Messages, if it opens then tap the blue + sign.
    You could also try to delete all you current open windows by tapping the Edit button then check marking all them > delete.
    If you are still having problems first try to close Messages and then double tapping the Home Button to bring up the dock and long press on the messages app in the dock until you see it shaking with the red circle and completely turn it off, then re-open and see if that fixes it. If not you could try to reboot the iPad by holding the home button and the power button at the same time, ignore the "slide to Power Off" message and continue holding both buttons until you see the screen go black and the Apple logo appear.

  • Every since the update to 7.0, I can't send emails or pictures other than to Apple users. Help please.

    Any help out there on my topic?

    I am guessing that because you have added Messages as one of your tags, that you are talking about the messages app and if you are, Messages only works with other iOS devices.
    If that's not what you are talking about, you need to provide some details....some more information.

    Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

    Hello, I have a 3GS but I cannot either make calls or receive them but I can send messages, could anyone help me, pleaseeeee? I do not know what to do. Many thanks.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    if that didn't help, talk to your carrier.

  • Can't send message on AT&T - won't connect to server. Anyone else having this issue?

    All of a sudden I can't send messages on my AT&T account. I get a message that Thunderbird cannot connect to server (STMP). Called AT&T and they verified all the settings; I can access my email account on Apple Mail and through Yahoo (AT&T's email provider) yet I cannot send messages on Thunderbird. I can receive but not send.
    I did try deleting the account and re-establishing it however that did not help. Anybody else have this issue?

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

  • Can't send messages to other iPhones 5/5s 6

    As the title suggests I can not send messages to any of the following handset models, nor receive messages.  I have scoured the internet in hopes of finding information.  I have an iPhone 6 with iMessage activated (verizon).  All my messages from 5/5s 6 users appear on my iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated this is extremely frustrating.

    Hi Scootmagoots,
    From your post I see that you are unable to send or receive iMessage on your iPhone.  While this is understandably a very frustrating issue there are troubleshooting steps I'd like you to follow through in order to get this resolved.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?

    My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?

    By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
    Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
    Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    AND Click on create an apple ID.
    the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours.
