    Click once on the sleep/wake button to ignore the caller and the call will eventually
    go to voicemail. Click twice to send the caller directly to email.

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • I bought a new 5c and transferred from an old update from my iPhone 4.  The only issue I have is the name of my new phone.  How can I change it from Amyiphone4 to something else?

  • Received iMessages on MacBook Pro but not on my iPhone.Thought iCloud would send them both places.

    Installed Mountian Lion.  iMessage works great but any incoming text go only to my MacBook and not to my iPhone.
    Thought iCloud would spread things around.

    HI,
    The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
    If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
    Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
    Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
    You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
    The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
    Two ways to do this.
    Simplest is to go to  Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
    The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
    The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

  • Hi, I am new to using iTunes.  Just downloaded 50 shades of Grey only to find it is the BOOKS and not the music.  How do I get a refund for this?

    Hi, I am new to using iTunes.  Just downloaded 50 shades of Grey only to find it is the BOOK and not the music.  Incidentally, I find that entering this community is somewhat akin to trying to get into Fort Knox!!  Too much officiousness.

    There are no refunds.
    You can try contacting itunes support and ask for an exception:

  • When I click on the converted PDF in my downloads, I receive a message saying'invalid format' Could that be because I use 'Pages' and not 'Word" If so, how can I convey PDF's to Pages?

    When I click on the converted PDF n my downloads, I receive a message saying 'invalid file format'.
    Could that be because I use Pages and not Word?
    If so, how can I convert my PDF's to Pages so I can modify the documents?

    Hi Kathy,
    I'm not very familiar with Pages, but I did just read on Apple's website that it does import .docx files. What happens when you open Pages, and then choose File > Open to open the .docx files?

  • Why can't my iPhone 4S send video messages via text? it only does so thru iMessage, amnd i can only receive them from my friends iPhone, but can't send any bk.

    it only does so thru iMessage. My friend (with another iphone) sends me video thru text message (not imesage) but my phone doesn't send videos thru. i already restarted the phone twice..... anyone know how to fix this its frustrating the heck out of me

    It might depend on how long/large the video file is.  I'm not sure but there might be restrictions on the size of the file you plan on sending via sms.  Are you able to send send those same video files that you received back to your friends?

  • I only receive iMessages on my Macbook... not on my iPhone, even when my macbook is shut down.

    Everytime I log into my macbook, I have messages that I didn't receive on my iPhone.

    Turn off imessage and turn it back on.  Then check the settings again.
    If that doesn't work, then you may need to restore from your backup, if that doesn't woirk then restore as new.

  • Only some iMessages sync between Macbook Air and iPhone?

    Not sure what the deal is.  I've been iMessaging a friend of mine on my phone for a couple days and the phone messages are all still there, but only a few of the messages synced with my Macbook once I started using it to message her.  I have a couple more convos that have been exclusively on my phone, the last message showing on the Macbook is three days old even though I've messaged them on my phone since then.  I've tried logging in and out of iMessage on both devices, not sure what to do about it.

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • HT1391 I only have podcasts for Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt  but they     do not show up now.  My subscriptions have not run out.  How can I find them so I can put them on my Ipod?

    I have been receiving my 2 podcasts, rush limbaugh show and the hugh hewitt show however some reason the are not on my I tune site so I can download them to my Ipod.  Any help would be great?

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

    My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • I previously owned an iPad. I want to restore my iBook collection from my iPad to my Macbook. I can only see my collections but not the books. How can I restore it from my iPad backup?

    I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
    Can anyone give me a solution to this.

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.
