Why is it that when sending text messages, sometimes they go through in blue and sometimes in green? What does that mean ?
My second question is, at times after sending a text it says: Sent as a text message.....I'm thinking, really? that's what I thought I sent in the first place !
Some one please help me out.......
Hi JoFan0465,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Good question!
Blue messages are iMessage conversations (Apple's messaging service)
Green messages are SMS - standard text messages.
SMS is the acronym for Short Message Service.
MMS is the acronym for Multimedia Message Service (audio, pictures, video can be added to messages).
With MMS turned on, you will see a little camera icon in the bottom left corner of your screen when you are in the Messages app. Also you will see the word iMessage where you type your text.
The link below will explain more:
Apple - iOS 6 - Messages with iMessage, for unlimited texting.
See the iPhone User Guide - pgs. 64-66 to learn more about Messages:
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The article that you referenced, iOS: Using Messages explains all of the parameters and requirements for sending messages on your iPhone.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

That just usually means the battery needs to be recharged. If you have already tried recharging it, see some of the troubleshooting steps in this Apple support document.

When trying to do a system backup to my remote LaCie hard drive, what does it mean when I get a message that says "waiting for volume LaCie disk"? While this message apears no back-up occurs. Is there a setting I need to change?
You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive. In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
What kind of "system backup" are you doing? Are you using Time Machine? -
I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the iTunes icon. What does this mean?
The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer running iTunes (version 10.2 +).

when i download adobe creative cloud,it said the error code is 201.what does it mean??
Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully. I would recommend utilizing a different Internet connection. If you are connected via WiFi try a wired connection. If you are connected via a wired connection then please try a different cable
Please refer to Error downloading Creative Cloud applications
Hope this helps you.

why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?
Because the other end may not be on a data network and can receive SMS only at that time. Also if imessage can't send via imessage then it will fall back to SMS if you have that turned on.

NEed help signing in to our wi-fi. I receive message " connection timeout" . What Does this mean?
If the Wi-Fi diagnostics are okay then check your own Wi-Fi router to find out how many clients are connected. The number of clients may not matter but how much data Hogging is going on. If you have multiple computer Services accounts active Wi-Fi cannot handle that much. Examples would be two people playing World of Warcraft, Two people watching a Netflix movie or AppleTV movie, One person Downloading iTunes movies or music at the same time. That accounts for a lot of Wi-Fi usage.

Why does TC sometimes display the airdisk icon and other times not
I've been trying to figure out why the connection speed of the TC can be so inconsistent, but one thing I've noticed is that the icon on my desktop of the TC is also inconsistent. Sometimes its the Airdisk icon (ie airport waves) and other times the Shared disk icon (ie people holding hands).
Anyone know what's up with that?Pinwheel usually comes it waiting for something, usually hard drives cause this but you don't have one, it's a SSD.
If it occurs on another network, then you likely have a hardware problem of some sort.
