  • Hi! I've just purchased a new iPhone 5s but whenever I text people with iPhones it's always sent from my iCloud account. This means that my email show instead of my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Hi! I've just purchased an iPhone 5S but whenever I text people with iPhones it sends from my iCloud account. This means that my email comes up for other people not my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive> Is your phone number checked there? If you do not want your email used, then tap on them and remove the checkmark. If there is no checkmark by your phone number, then turn iMessage off, perform a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn iMessage on. When it activates, check your settings again under Send and Receive and make sure the number is checked and the emails are not.

  • I sync'd my iphone to my computer and now both my iphone and Mac are missing a majority of my library!?

    I sync'd my iphone 5 to my macbook pro about 4 weeks ago and it has been missing a majority of my library ever since. On top of that, now my macbook is missing songs too! I know i had albums by a lot of bands and now theres only a song by a band here and there. Honestly, why would i only own one song from the unplugged version of 30 seconds to mars? I owned all 4! What's going on? Am I just f**ked? i've lost so much music!

    Backing up the iPhone to the computer won't transfer the music to it; to do that, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function. If you're looking for music already on the computer, search it for files with an extension of mp3, m4a, or m4p.

  • Switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and now back to iPhone 5

    I am having issues with imessage on the iphone. I can't sent imessages from my phone number but i can send them from my emails that are registered for imessage. How can I fix it to send from my phone number?

    Hello missyrocks14,
    Signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive, then signing back in can help get your iPhone to send messages from your phone number.
    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.
    If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage

  • I added songs to my iphone for the holidays and now it won't go away

    I had the songs in my itunes library - downloaded from Amazon.com - and synced to my phone.  I removed them from itunes but when I sync they are still on my phone.  So I unchecked "sync music" and had it remove all the songs off my phone but guess what was left on my phone - just the holiday music.  Then I removed the holiday songs from my computer completely, and synced my music again - now my regular music is back on the phone but so are the holiday songs.  I really don't want to listen to the chipmunks singing jingle bells one more time (put it on for my daughter, but kind of embarrassing when it starts playing in January and your boss hears it)  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Do you have Windows or MAC computer ?
    Which version of Adobe AIR installed on your computer ?

  • HT4061 Ive sold my iphone , now people with iphones can't txt me

    HI is this do do with 'imessage' and if so how do i remove myself now that i dont have an iphone

    By this, I'm assuming that you switched to a new phone which is not an iPhone.
    Before you sold your old iPhone, did you remember to sign out of iMessage?  Since iMessage still has your phone number and account registered, I will bet not, so the Apple iMessage servers are trying to hold the messages for you to re-connect your iPhone to the network to get your queued messages.
    If you still have the iPhone, go back to it and disable iMessage and sign out of your AppleID.  If you don't have the device any longer, you may be able to call Apple Care and explain to them what you did and they might be able to reset your link to iMessage for you.

  • HT3529 I had a iphone 4s with imessage activated, I switched to android and now I can still text other people with iphones but they can't text me. What can I do?

    I Had an iphone 4s with imessage activated,  I switched to an android and now I can't recieve texts from iphones that have imessage turned on. What can i do?

    iMessage works by linking your Apple ID with your phone number
    When you send and receive messages to and from other iPhone users who’ve also got iMessage activated, they’re sent and delivered over the internet as iMessages rather than as SMS
    Non-Apple phones can’t receive iMessages so if you no longer use an iPhone, you need to deactivate it. This lets iPhones know to send you messages via SMS instead
    If you’ve got access to your iPhone
    Ensure your phone is connected to the internet (3G or Wi-Fi) so that the changes will sync with your Apple ID.
    Go into ‘Settings’.
    Tap ‘Messages’.
    For ‘iMessage’, move the slider to ‘Off’.
    If you don’t have access to your iPhone
    Go to supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password.
    Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
    Click ‘Unregister’.
    You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.

  • I had to trade in my iPhone for an android, I did not unencrypted the back up on iTunes, i no longer have access to the phone, is there a way to get to my data?

    I had to trade in my iPhone for an android, I did not unencrypted the back up on iTunes, i no longer have access to the phone, is there a way to get to my data?

    The difficulty is you have to unencrypt during the restore process, which you cannot do with an Android device.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

    If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup.  That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now.  Sorry.

  • Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

    A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

    I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software.  I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks
