I use iMessage on an iphone 4s, iOS 5.1, and I receive iMessages from iMessage users but I cannot receive a text sent to my phone number from non-iMessage users. Any idea why?
SMS activated in Settings > Messages? Jailbroken?

My sister and I have/had an iPhone this week she upgraded and went to an android. Now she cannot receive my text. I have put her phone number as a mobile device. Deleted previous iMessages and started a new thread she still cannot receive my text. Please tell me how this can be resolved
the fastest way is to call applecare and they can remove her number from iMessage/facetime.

Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

I have iPhoto, iOS, etc. all up to date.... however my iPad, iPhone, and Mac PhotoStreams all contain different pictures and aren't the same. Any ideas why? I'd rather not reset the whole thing if I don't have too.
OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount..... -
I use MAIL exclusively. I have a number of Mailboxes set up. My messages will not load on one particular Mailbox on my MacBookair, but do load in that Mailbox on my IOS devices. Any idea why this is happening?
No idea at all, it might help if you gave more information, what type of mail, who provides it, any error messages etc.

Hello i made a site using the 3 platforms: desktop, tablet, and smartphone but... on tablets and smartphones appears the desktop design, any idea why?
Vivek,
I've checked the "Redirect from Desktop" and after uploading the website into the hosting account, it still appears in the desktop version. Would you please take a look at this? I hope you can see what I've missed. Thanks.

I have a brand new iphone 5.. I can imessage and receive texts but can't reply or send new ones. Any ideas?
You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working. -

Sometimes when I'm using my iPad and I want to send a message via iMessage it won't let me. This happens even when I know that the recipient has an iPhone and uses the iMessage app on her iPhone. Why is that? I can use iMessage from my iPhone and it will go to her iPhone. Why can't it work from my iPad.?

I can't send or receive a text using imessage from my iphone to an ipad
The Ipdas are using IOS 6 and can text to other iphones by phone number or apple id. I have tried hard resets and did a full restore and still no success. I am using IOS 6.0.1 and have had the phone checked at our local Apple dealer and I took it to the local ATT store to be sure my phone plan was not an issue.

cfm007,
Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

Any ideas why I can't text my friend my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing
Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage. If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number. If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.
