HT4859 MobleMe, Apple Backup, a non-iOS device, and iCloud

If I undrstand correctly, when MobleMe dies in a few weeks, the Apple Backup program will only backup your computer's info to local hard drives as it does NOT use iCloud?

Hi,
The Apple App is called Messages on both iOS and Mac OS X devices.
The iOS version on iPhone can send SMS to non iOS devices.
At present (although rumoured to be coming) the Mac version cannot SMS to iPhone or non iOS devices.
However IF you have an AIM Login (AND some Apple issued IDs are valid AIM logins) and the person is using  US phone on one of these carriers then the app will send SMS using the AIM service as  sort of "translator" from IM (Instant Messages) to SMS
Basically you add a +1 (Country Code) to the Number and Add that to your AIM Buddy like it was  Buddy.
Messenger tends to refer to MSN messenger or possibly Yahoo IM app that is called Yahoo Instant Messenger.

  • Emoji not appearring correctly on non-iOS devices

    When I send an e-mail or sms with an Emoji, it just displays as a square at the receivers end.
    Why doesn't Apple send Emoji as a picture insertion in an e-mail, for receivers on non-iOS devices?
    Or do Emoji in fact display correctly on some non-iOS devices?
    Does anyone have experience with this where it has worked with a non-iOS device?

    That means the receivers device is using older technology and does not yet have a font for Unicode emoji, which have been the standard for several years now.
    You can ask Apple to use some non-standard system like pictures via
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    but it's not realistic to imagine they will go backwards like that.

  • HT3965 What about with the new iTunes and a non iOS device like my iPod nano 4??

    The apple help forums don't tell me how to rename a non iOS device with the newest iTunes where you can't highlight the name or even right click! Help?

    Check this doc, and post back:

  • TS3672 how can i send readable emoji to other non-ios devices?

    how can i send readable emoji to other non-ios devices?
    whenever i try to send a text message with emoji to other non ios devices it appears question mark (?) on that device,

    Hello, Claire,
    This question would appear to have nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, so this probably isn't the best place to ask this question. I'd suggest asking in the forum for your version of Mac OS X.
    Please note that unless you own the complete rights to the music you used in the slide show - that is, you composed and performed it yourself, you didn't just buy the track on CD or from a download store - or you purchased the music from one of the "royalty free" services, then it would be a copyright violation and hence illegal to send that slideshow to others unless you remove the music track.
    Regards.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • If iCloud makes backups of different iOs devices

    When  making iCloud backups of different iOS - devices ( eg : in my case iphone , iPad-1 and iPad Air), are these. Backups individual for each device ?
    - Or is there only 1 Backup done ( for one device), and the rest written over ?
    Thx in advance

    There is a separat backup for each device.

    can i send imessage to any non ios devices like any andriod phone?

    I'm pretty sure you are full of it unless it was for a specific carrier messaging option. you CANNOT use iMessage with android devices. only iPhones, iPod and iPad running iOS 5.1.

  • Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .how?

    .Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .if possible

    You can't do that through the Messages app. It can only do iMessage, and iMessages can only be sent to iOS devices.
    There are many SMS apps in the app store that may do what you want. Search the app store and try them out.

  • What happens if i enter phone number while erssing ios device from icloud?

    I want to remove my iphone4 device from find my iphone over the cloud. Because i forgot the passcode of my iphone. Now i want to restore it from a backup.
    itunes wouldn't let me do it because "find my iphone" is enabled in iphone settings. Moreover i was able to remove device from icloud. But itunes still asking me to turn off "find my iphone" from iphone settings. What i am missing here? is it because I entered phone number while erasing ios device from icloud or something else?

    If you force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 you'll be able to restore it.

  • I've activated a new iPhone 6 from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee.

    Hi all!
    I've activated a new iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee. Any advices?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ingo,
    thanks for your help. Your hint didn't solve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
    When I wanted to activate my new phone from backup I realized, I didn't knew the password. It was noted on a paper at home. So I activated the phone free cause I couldn't await coming home ... a new toy!
    Due to GameCenter I have two apple-ids and unfortunately I took the wrong for the activation.
    Back home I've reset the phone and activated it from backup. The iWork apps disappeared and now are linked to the other apple-id.
    I was able to re-install the apps from AppStore for free. But I don't think I can transfer the apps to the other id.
    Thanks a lot
    Harald
