HT3529 how does iMessage differ from standard messages & how do I get it to work?

I have got an iPhone 4S as well as an iPad 1 & have them both linked with iCloud. I think I have set everything correctly for iMessage but don't understand when iMessage kicks in instead of standard SMS/MMS.
I was also under the impression that my SMS messages would be stored in iCloud so I could store them on my MacBook so I never lose them but that isn't working either.
Can anyone help?

Refer to your user manual to setup iMessage here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

    I have been trying to send my Non Apple friends/family messages from my I Pad.  How do I get this to work??

    It won't. iMessage isn't an SMS service. It's for Apple-to-Apple and uses cellular data. SMS uses a cellular SMS plan, which does not come with your iPad. You'd have to have a cell phone to send texts like that. Alternatively, you can find an instant messaging app like Skype (they do messaging, not just video chat) or MSN Messenger that goes across platforms. You install it, they install it, you can chat with them.

  • Company currency does not differ from company code currency

    Hi Everyone,
    I am a newbie in SAP FI. Forgive me if this is a rpet pos. I could not find an answer using search.
    Here is my problem:
    I defined a compay with currecny as USD. I defned two company codes one with currency USD and the other
    with currency INR.
    I assigned compay code 1 (with USD as currency) to cmpany successfully.
    However, when I tr t assign the secnd company ( wih INR currency)it gives me the following error:
    "Company currency does not differ from company code currency".
    How do I solv this problem.
    Thaks,
    Cheruvu

    hi
    when you defined your company currency as USD and Company code currency is also USD therefore it is not shown any warning but second company code currency taken as INR system  expressing warning since company currency and company code currency differs as company stands for group for consolidation point of view
    therefore it is only warning not error you can just enter and further configure nothing will be adverse

  • Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past.  It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

    If you bought it used, many if not most of them are "jailbroken" and cannot be fixed. That's why they are sold. Unsuspecting buyers are generally out of luck.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
    Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.

  • What is Firewire?  What does it do? How do you get it to work on the MacPro-something I must purchase perhaps?

    What is Firewire? What does it do? How do I get it to work on my MacPro?  Do I purchase it?

    Firewire is a serial connector technology that Apple incorporated in its 1999 and later machines that can be adapted to Thunderbolt, Express/34, and PCMCIA.   It can't be adapted to USB.   Many hard drives have Parallel ATA to Firewire and Serial ATA to Firewire adapters.   Firewire in its 4 pin configuration was popular on Sony devices such as Camcorders in the iLink connector format.   Apple started with the 6 pin variety that has its own power.  In 2003 it started including Firewire 800 in the 9 pin format and shifted to all Firewire 800 until Thunderbolt became standard.  A few MacBook, iMac, iBook, and Powerbook models didn't have it at all.
    Mac Pro is a desktop computer from Apple.  MacBook Pro is a notebook computer.  Not knowing your computer's age, doesn't help us determine how to adapt it.  Go to your System Profiler and look for Mac Pro x,y or MacBook Pro x,y and tell us which you see, and what x,y values you see.

  • I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?

    I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

  • The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that  wifi network

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Adobe elements photo shop full install does not work. How do I get it to work?

      It worked before and now it doesn't. For some reason the computer is treating the full install as if it were a demo. I already registered the product when I first installed...... Only the organizer works now. I uninstalled and re installed but still doesn't work. How do I get it to work...I have windows 8.1...Please help...Thank you.
    Somehow the Adobe Manager is not recognizing the full install. Is that possible? There are 2 selections during installation ....trial or product key....
    I selected product key since I have the product key. The installation accepts the product key acts like it is installing but then it doesn't run...then I tried the demo installation without the key since I can't enter it in the box in demo mode....that doesn't run either.....Is the Adobe Manager the problem? How do I fix this?
    Once again, any help or tips will do...Thank you....

    The password prompt is supplied by the operating system, and is intended to protect you from accidentally installing software.  You will get this prompt for any installation outside the App Store context.
    If you do not need to enter a username or password when starting your computer, you can probably just leave the password field blank when acknowledging this prompt.

  • My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now,  my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

    I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
    Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
    In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

    I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

  • Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

    Try a reset or restart of the device. If it still does not appear on any of the home screens and cannot be found in a spotlight search, restore the device.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
