Why do my text messages go to my iPad and not my iPhone please

Why do my text messages go to the iPad and not iPhone when they are both switched on?

Hello Margey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Without doing any troubleshooting it's difficult to say what could be causing the issue of your iPhone not receiving iMessages. Please follow the troubleshooting in the article below:

Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them? Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

HT5622 Why is there a message saying, "This Apple ID has not yet been used in the itunes store"

Why is there a message saying that my apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store? i just registered

Hi midanjm,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for purchases. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

Why does I'm IPad say fully charged when its not its 92% should I get it looked at by a professional ?

My IPad is at 92% and I plug it in and it says fully charged but its not. Should I get it looked at ?

The battery meter is really just an estimate
However, you can calibrate it
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

Why does an error message say, you do not have the privilege to maje changes?

I tried to add a movie ti iTunes and a message came up saying I do not have the privilege to make changes. How do I get the privilege to make changes?

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

Why does my error message say "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." for Facetime when I am connected to the internet?

Trying to access my Facetime and I haven't in a while. It is not allowing me to sign in. I am conneected to my Wi-Fi and am sitting right on top of it and it still says i need to check my network connection. My internet connection is fine and works with everything else but Facetime. What's up with that??

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>General>Date&Time and make sure it is set to Automatic
- Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in

Why does my iTunes keep saying that my songs are not found? They have been on there for a very long time but now can't be put on my devices.

So I bought some new music on my iPhone. I put it on the computer so I could update my kids' iPods and while doing this I got a box that said it couldn't find some of my music. Then it took it off of the iPod and Phone. I also can't use some of the ringtones I bought. I don't understand. Now the things it can't find has a little exclamation mark by them.
I need help, I don't understand!!!!!

I posted this about two years ago so can't quite remember how I solved it.
I've got a feeling I had to completely erase my iPhone (losing a load of notes and music playlists !) in order to fix this problem. It was a bit of a hassle if I can remember also.
Sorry.

Why does my iphone4 sometimes say it can't move certain messages to Trash?ages in

Why does my iphone4 sometimes say it can't move certain messages from my inbox to Trash?

That would depend on how your wifi or cellular data signal is, if its weak you'll get that message.

HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered? Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues. Thank you

I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

Does FaceTime send an automatic text message to the email address of the user trying to call me?

I called my friend's cell phone, via FaceTime, on my macbook using my email address.
The call said she was unavailable, and immediately after, I received a text message to my email address from her cell phone number saying "can't talk right now, what's up". I thought it was strange since she never texts my email from her phone, and I had never received a message like that from FaceTime before.
She said she never sent the email. Is it possible FaceTime does it automatically, and why all of a sudden now? Or, was her cell hacked, or it was just her?

Hi nquan1989,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post where you received a message indicating the person you were contacting was busy, indicates they elected to send a message and decline the call, thus sending the message to your email.
Can’t take a call right now? When a FaceTime call comes in, you can answer, decline, or choose another option.
Make and answer calls
Cheers,
Alex H.

HT202157 Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility. It never said that before. Now my apple tv is not working.

Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility. It never said that before. Now my apple tv is not working.

Hello Rickpoulette,
The following article provides further information and could very well help get your Apple TV and your television cooperating again.
If HDCP authentication does not succeed, you may see one of the following symptoms:
A message may appear on your television stating "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."
You may see periodic bands of static, or full screen static, flashing across your TV screen.
If you are experiencing either of the symptoms above, try playing the same content again for at least another 10 seconds. If the issue persists, try the following steps until the issue is resolved:
Connect your Apple TV (2nd generation) directly to your HDTV using an HDMI cable.
Set your Apple TV and HDTV to off or sleep mode
From the Apple TV interface, select: Settings -> Sleep Now.
Turn off your TV and wait for about 10 seconds.
Turn your TV back on.
Press the Select button on your Apple TV remote to wake your Apple TV.
Some HDTVs may need a firmware update. Consult your TV manufacturer's user manual or online support pages for additional information about how to update your TV's firmware.
If available, try using a different HDMI to HDMI cable, such as an Apple HDMI to HDMI cable, directly between your Apple TV (2nd generation) and 720p HDCP-compatible HDTV.

Why does my cellphone keep saying that estimating time remaining when I try to upgrade the system?

Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
Is there anyway to fix this situation?

Hi Eric_Sun,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
You can find these steps here:

If you are still not able to update, I recommend the steps in this article next:

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing.
