HT4623 My Granddaughter wants me to get iMessage on my iPhone 4.  Is that possible?

Can I get iMessage on my iPhone 4?  The choice my son in law told me to find under "Settings" is not a choice on my phone. (He has an iPhone5)

Yes, it is on your iPhone.
Look for Settings > Messages (not iMessages).
Tap it then set iMessages to On.
Enter you AppleID and password.
Use the Messages app to send iMessages (to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch users) or regular text messages to iPhone and other mobiles phopnes.

    I thought that I had backed up my pictures to icloud, but when I looked online at icloud, I don't see pictures listed.  However, a few of the recent pictures have shown up on my phone.
    IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

    Your profile indicates your Mac has v10.6.6 installed ??

  • I am a nursing student and would like to get an Ipad for textbooks. IS that possible?

    I am a nursing student and would like to get an Ipad for textbooks. Is that possible? I want to be able to just carry and ipad around, as opposed to 7 or 8 textbooks.

    I would also be certain that you get enough memory to keep nursing books.  I remember the books my sister had in nursing school and they were very heavy in pictures and graphics... which means they will take up a lot of memory space.  Be sure it can hold all your books.

  • HT4623 Can i get imessage on my iphone 4? if so how do i get it?

    I have an iphone 4, i would like to get imessage, is this possible? if so how do i get it? Ive tried settings, messages but there is no section on my phone to press imessage ;(

    Alas, the Classic doesn't support radio. The basic classic can only play stored audio files. iTunes plays radio by streaming it over the network.

  • I get imessage everywhere except iphone

    I have a Mac Mini, a iPhone 3G, an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4.
    with the new iMessage, if my wife sends me a message from her things I get it everywhere except iphone 4, or only in the iphone 4.
    My E-Mail is registered to receive imessages in all this devices, but only in the iphone 4 it does not work... can you guys help me?
    Thanks
    Eduardo

    The 3Gs can run iOS 5, which contains iMessage.
    If, however, you are running 4.2.1, you probably do NOT have a 3Gs. You most likely have a 3G. 4.2.1 is the last version of iOS for the 3G. It has reached end of life.

  • HT4623 Recently I want to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do it. Don't understand why?

    Recently I wanted to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 following the guidelines closely with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. I felt disappointed as I am looking forward to installing Apps, WeChat, Whats App, etc. I have bought it 2 years ago. I have read the FAQ, mine is the same as many other complaints as in the Settings-General, no "Software Update" appear but we have follow step by step but failed to do so.
    My friend suggested me to visit Apple Store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I just wonder if this problem can be solved.  Kindly advise.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards/Michelle Gee

    You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.

  • I want to attach a song to a text message is that possible

    I want to send my wife the song
    all i want for christmas is you but I cannot figure out how is it possible

    What will your program be running on? Is it a .NET program, a Tomcat Java App running on Linux? a PHP script, javascript, Python script, ...? What database, MySQL, Postgres, SQLServer, ..., What web server, IIS, Apache, etc...
    You need to define your requirements in order to best select your IDE.

  • HT204053 I have bought my grandchildren an ipad and want to set up separate account for this. Is that possible?

    I was wondering if a separate account can be sep-up in your itunes account as I have reached my limit on downloading ipads and would like to sep-up a new account so my grandchildren can play with their ipad

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If she creates her own iTunes account she can't use any protected content purchased under another account. She can play unprotected content synced from an iTunes library on a computer, but she can only download content from the cloud that is purchased under her account.
    It's a pain I know, but the longer you put off the move, the worse the situation will become.

  • I'm going on vacation and want to download a TV series on my iPad is that possible?

    Can I save a TV series to my iPad and watch it over a couple week period while away from home, questionable wifi and on a plane? How would I do this?

    The easiest way to do that is to purchase the series in iTunes. Then sync to the iPad.

    Hi fredfromcan,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID for iMessage on your son's iPhone, instructions for which are found here:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    To sign out of your Apple ID
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    You may also want to make sure his phone number is deactivated for your Apple ID:
    iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    Cheers,
