  • Problems with iMessage after update to iOS5

    I installed the iOS5 on my iTouch and now I can't use iMessage. It keeps prompting me for my AppleID username or password, which it won't accept, even though I used iMessage prior to the update to iOS5! I rebooted and created a new password (even purchased a song to make sure AppleID worked, it did) and NOTHING!! Help! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Re: iMessage iMessage Waiting for activation Help 
    Mar 10, 2012 6:07 PM (in response to Mezoabo)
    Don't waste time with all of that crap....
    Just update your date/time settings:
    Settings
    > General
    >> Date & Time
    >>> Set Automatically:  Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
    I literally* just did this, saw a link for this thread, and figured i'd come see if it worked for you.  Mine hasn't worked since early January and for a while I wasn't getting texts from some other iPhone users either.
    I have an iPhone 4, but I assume it will still work for you.  I also have iOS 5.1 (just updated after plugging into iTunes on my mac), so that may make a difference, but I think it's just a network thing.  When you disable "Set Automatically" for time, I figure that you are also denying access to a part of the network that is necessary for iMessage.
    **EDIT**
    I also forgot to mention that, despite Apple's excluvisity, you still need to rely on an internet connection to use this little feature.  After you activate, it will even have an option to send as a regular text (SMS) when iMessage isn't available (when there is no or very little internet).  I'm assuming that sliding to "no" will just save the message until you connect again.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Having problem with iMessage

    Hi,
    I seem to be having an ongoing problem with my iMessage! First started last week when everybody was having problems with iMessage, however mine is doing it again tonight! My iMessage has been fine all day but stopped working this evening and I've tried restarting phone and iPad but not worked. I've turned iMessage off and now it won't let me activate it, says my apple ID is incorrect - which I've used it else where and its fine. It's not just my phone - same problem on iPad! Any suggestions?? Thanks

    This is because the storm.  At the same time one of our corporate network providers went down that's based on the East Coast.
    Again the outage is known to have been caused by storm and internet intermittent issues on the East Coast.

  • HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

    Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

    Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

  • Problem with iphone after update

    Hey guys, I am having a bit of bother with my iphone. Basically i was given an iphone 3g and I'm not really sure where it came from but it had a vodafone sim, I am on an orange contract so i took out the vodafone sim and put the orange one in and to my surprise it worked,  it has been working fine for months but tonight I decided to do an update on itunes and now it is telling me that the "sim card in this phone does not appear to be supported" and and my phone is stuck on a screen with the usb cord and the itunes logo telling me to connect it, also i can only make emergency calls. What on earth have i done? I no longer have the original sim so cant use that to activate it
    Is there any way to fix this? I had no idea doing an update would cause this trouble and atm my phone is useless.
    Any help would be very much appreciated,
    Cheers
    Tors,

    The problem also appeared for some people after updating to 7.0, and for some after updating to 6.1.3, or 6.1.2, or to 5.1, 5.0, etc. and some first saw it without updating at all. Which argues against it being a software problem with 7.1 specifically.
    Restore your phone using iTunes and set it up as a new phone. It you still have the problem it is a hardware failure.

  • Having problem with Auto Software Updates

    Hi there,
    I having trouble with updating all software updates on my iMac. Some of updates being downloaded but they are not installing.
    after downloading it, something stopping installation... and this is happing with each and every update.
    please Help.
    -Sonu

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

    Hi i have problems accessing my email accounts after update to iOS 8.3.1 , I tried to delete all accounts but I still have the same problems.

    That worked for me and now shows the free GB I truly have left and no longer have issues with my email. Hope this helps if it does please let me know and pass it along.

  • Problems with mysql after update to php 5.3

    Hi everyone,
    I know I am not the only one having trouble with that upgrade but so far I still have some issues.
    I have read the news about the update and the wiki. I use apache, php, mysql and phpmyadmin.
    After the update, I installed php-apache, php-mcrypt and used php.ini.pacnew to do my new configuration.
    Everything works fine except mysql.
    I have a weird problem that is that I can access and do whatever I want to databases with phpmyadmin but as soon as I try to connect to the mysql database with php code then my browser tells me that the page can't be loaded and that "the connection terminated unexpectedly". What is the problem ? Am I the only one in this situation ?
    Thanks for your time !

  • Problems with publishing after updating to iWeb 1.1.2

    I get the following message after updating to iWeb 1.1.2:
    Can't create the file “shapeimage1_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
    I guess my disk could be damaged, but it seems odd that it worked yesterday before the update and not today (I have the same access priveledges as before). Is there anyway I can get around this problem? I also have the newest Apple updates (10.4.8).
    I get the same message if I try to publish to a folder or try to publish to .mac.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I am still having the problem after uninstalling 1.1.2 and resinstalling iWeb and then upgrading to 1.1.1. I followed the directions. I still find it strange that it worked prior to the upgrade but not after. However, reverting to the old version has not fixed the problem.
    Could it be something with OS X 10.4.8? That was also upgraded at the same time.
    I even deleted my blog entry (the only thing that changed since my last time publishing) and that did not fix the problem. Thus, I cannot publish the same web page in 1.1.1 that I could last week. I have run the disk utility and repaired permissions. I am not sure what to try.
    Has anyone used other software in which I could take all the pages I have created and modify them in another program? I don't mind learning a new program, but I don't want to lose everything I have. I figure it will be easier to figure out a new program if I am tweaking already existing html files.
