HT3529 Hi. My imessage has been linked to my ipad as well as my iphone with hotmail address. When i send an imessage from my iphone it appears as my email, i dont want this to happen. When an iphone user texts my number i dont receive it
Hi everyone.
My iphone ipad and imessage are all interlinked with my hotmail (apple id.) However this now means when i send an imeesage from my iphone it appears tomy friends as my email, i don't want this to happen! Also when iphone users text my mobile number it doesn't come through to my iphone so i end up missing out on text messages a lot - how can i sync my iphone to receive all texts and imessages but to my mobile number only?
Simply disable all incoming methods of iMessages other then your phone number.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive at > You may be reached at > Unselect your email addresses.
Now when your friends send you an iMessage they can only send it to your phone number.

Hi There: I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense). This also happens for another Mac user coworker in my office, while the PCs don't have this problem... Any help/suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated!
Just adding more info - MacBookPro running 10.5.8 and using Safari as the browser. The problem comes and goes - sometimes the linked Word files will open OK, n others its just a strring of crazy characters...

I'm in London for a semester and I met someone here. My iMessage has been useful for chatting with friends from home, but I'd like to add this guy to my contacts and iMessage him. I can't iMessage him (he has functional iMessage on his iPhone). Why doesn't my phone recognize him to have iMessage? Do I have to turn my data on and my airport off to send a message before it recognizes that he has iMessage?
Call AppleCare, because, according to Apple, removing the devices from your support profile should have fixed this issue. You can also try changing your Apple ID password, but given what you've done, I doubt this will help.

I am receiving my Iphone 5 in the mail soon. I am going to connect it to my macbook pro. I am afraid that the apps I have downloaded on my iPhone 4 will transfer over to my iPhone 5. I do not want this to happen. I don't believe it will but I want to be sure. If this question isn't clear please let me know. a
It will NOT automatically download your app that were on your iPhone 4.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks x
Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had? -
Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At -
Hello - i just got an iphone in Dubai - i'm trying to configure it but there some instructions are in Arabic (I'm non Arabic speaking) - this specifically happens when I'm try to sign in to create a new apple ID
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The reset link for the security question will send the email to your rescue email account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 - that is the email account that you are checking, and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again ?
If you aren't receivineg the email then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to view your rescue email address to check that it's correct, in case you need to use it in the potential future use -
I have an iPhone and my partner also has an iPhone. I also have 2 children with iPhones and we are all connected to my iTunes account. When I send an imessage to my partner does it also go to my children's phones? Because we are all using my iTunes account.
It's not the iTunes account, it's Apple ID that iMessages gets distributed.

If you mean iMessage then go into Messages in the Settings app. The feature is Read Receipts.

I am currently studying abroad in Italy and my imessage has been working with wifi up until now. I just wen to PAris for the weekend and when I came back it says that Imessage is waiting for activation. How do I fix this? Thanks!
If iMessage has become deactivated on your iPhone, which, apparently it has, the phone will need to send an SMS to activate it again. Therefore, you'll need a cellular connection.

I just upgraded firefox to the new version 10.
I may soon downgrade back to 9, because it looks too much like crome *barf*
That's not my issue.
When I close firefox, acrobat reader 5.0 starts.
I do not want this to happen.
Is this some virus? something in firefox?
How do I stop this from happening?Acrobat Reader 5 is very ancient, so I would try uninstalling it (and any other older versions of Reader), then going to [http://get.adobe.com/reader/ http://get.adobe.com/reader/], downloading and installing that. Then, see if you still have the issue

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.
Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it. -
When I send out iMessages they show up on other peoples iPhones as being sent from my email address. How do I correct this?
No that was not it. I was signed into my iMessages under my email address as soon as I signed out others can now receive my texts under my number. Thanks for the help though

My imessage has been sketchy lately. One text it will say my iMessage has been delivered the next I have to send it as a text message. I've tried turning my phone on and off and turning iMessage on and off repeatedly. How do i fix this problem?
It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.
