I can't get my iphone to recognize another iphone while imessaging. The bubble will not turn blue, it remains green. I have tried tapping it and it wont change. The phone number is listed in contacts under iphone.
Make sure your iMessage is activated. If the other person does not have a good data connection, iMessage will recognize that and fall back to a SMS. What you list the person's phone number as in Contacts does not matter.

I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport Extreme Base station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switched to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connected as the ABS keeps trying to dial up(the old phone number). When I tried to change my network settings an annoying popup window says "your network settings have been changed by another application'. I have no idea what the message is all about and when I close this window it immediately pops up again and prevents me -as far as I can tell -from changing my Airport settings? I need advice on how to get this wireless setup done. Maybe a reset? or something else? I have the DSL phone line plugged into WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem and then the ethernet (yellow) wire from the WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem to the port on the dome that is a circle of dots.
1)Can you explain how using the AEBS as a bridge will work with the Seimens Speedstream4200?
As a bridge, the AEBS will basically become a wireless access point. This will allow the AEBS to provide a wireless network, but still allow the Speedstream to provide NAT & DHCP services for the wireless clients connected to the AEBS. If the AEBS was left as a router, you would have a double-NAT condition which isn't necessary bad in itself, but would create a second subnet. That would make it more difficult for clients connected to the AEBS to access clients connected to the Speedstream.
2) Is there a link that will guide me through the steps to set the AEBS as a bridge?
You can easily reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge using the AirPort Utility.
ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
3)Can I just connect the DSL phone line to the AEBS and eliminate the Speedstream4200?
Unfortunately no. The AEBS does not have a built-in DSL modem. You will still need the Speedstream to provide this function. -
How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?
I used to get imessages using my phone number. Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one. Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number. The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected. I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice.
The imessage is working but only using the email address.
Ideas?
Jenniferthe link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
but i did sign in on my iphone
i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
thanks again -
How can I force iMessage to recognize another iMessage device?
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOs 7, iMessage will not recognize a friend's iphone for sending messages via iMessage. Prior to updating to iOs 7.0.2, I had no issues with iMessage. Other people can write to me and to my friend with iMessage and he and I can send iMessages to other people, we just can't iMessage each other. All messages between us and group messages that each of us are a participants in are sent as SMS messages. I have tried the following fixes with no success:
1. Turning iMessage off and on.
2. Turning the phone of and on.
3. Hard resetting the phone (holding the home and power buttons until the apple logo appears).
4. Turning iMessage off, resetting network settings, and reactivating iMessage.
5. Backing up phone, erasing the phone completely, and restoring to a backup.
Does anyone have any clue about this?
Additionally I would like to report this issue to Apple, but the only way that I have been able to find is to pay for support. I don't want to pay $30 to report an issue. Does anyone know how to report issues without paying?I have the same problem on iOS 7.0.3. With one particular friend I receive iMessages from her just fine and I can send her iMessages from Mac OS X and Messages on iPad, but Messages on my iPhone keep sending her my messages as Text messages. I send iMessages just fine from the same iPhone. SFChuch, what ios version is your recipient using? Did they sign up on iCloud? I wonder if the problem happens with recipients who are not properly registered on iCloud or some special case like that.

I can't get iMessage to recognize an email address
I have two new iPad Minis and when I log into both iMessage and FaceTime it will not log a newly added email address. It only shows the previous email addresses and phone numbers but it keeps saying "verifying" with the status but never confirms.
1. Sign out of Facetime and sign in again.
2. Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On -
The only thing to do to get the R3D files working is download a plugin pack with 2 files in it. one goes in your plugin folder the other in some other folder. I found both original files and replaced them with the new ones. I have rebooted twice... nothing. it won't recognize R3D files. The Camera is a Red brand Epic Dragon and it puts our R3D files. R3D's are easily manipulated in Redcine, but I can't add my .mov files on it so I need to be able to work with these files in PP.
I'm sad now
Good thing I have a PC with 32-bit windows!
Now, I can only assume apple is working on a 64-bit
fix? I suppose that info/ETA is on the itunes page,
I'll go take a look.
Who knows what Apple plans are? I do know that they do not discuss upcoming releases of anything until its available. -

How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime
Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?
Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

I have updated my IPhone 4s to ios6, but for some reason it didn't install Siri with the update, is there any way I can install it onto my IPhone without jail breaking the phone?

It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

Wasn't SIRI one of the gee-wiz doodads introduced with iOS 6? Cause my boss' 4s w/iOS 5 certainly does NOT have it. And on my i5, the Spanish-speaking SIRI I got turned out female, with all the foibles and vicissitudes....
iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4. -
Can One iPhone Recognize Another Just By The Phone Number?
Hello and Merry Christmas. I have an unusual question. I typed in a friend's cell phone number in the text message box on my iPhone and instead of getting an ordinary message in green, it said "iMessage" and when I sent the message, the text was in blue. I have not been in contact with this friend for awhile so I have no idea if he has an iPhone or not.
Is it possible for one iPhone to recognize another one just my the telephone number? I am worried that he won't get my text unless he too has an iPhone. I message all the time and I have never seen this "iMessage show up before in the texting window??? If anyone can help me with an answer to this question, please do. There is nothing that I did differently, the phone did this by itself. Thanks in advance, MikeYes, your iPhone can recognize another iOS device using iOS 5 (and therefore iMessage). As long as the other iOS device owner has iOS 5 and they have the iMessage feature enabled then whenever you text them it will revert to the blue bubbles to indicate that it is using iMessage instead of your text message plan.
The only time it will revert to iMessage is if the person at the phone number you are texting actually has an iPhone with iOS 5. If they switch to a different device it will no longer switch to the iMessage service. You don't have to worry about that. There are times that the iMessage service may be down or not working...in those cases your messages will send as regular text messages (unless you have that feature turned off in settings). -

I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?
Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -

My iPhone keeps saying No SIM. How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?
TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT if there is any area outage -
I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password to the gmail account I am trying to add.
I am trying to add a gmail account to Thunderbird that is already hosting several gmail accounts. No matter what I do, I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password. I admit, I got is wrong a few times, but I did get the right one, and it was typed in perfectly several times, as well as copy and pasted. The password worked fine to log into the account directly, but not into Thunderbird. I tried changing the password, and that did not work either. I have tried adding this account in Windows 8.1 as well as Ubuntu 14.04, and the results have been the same. In Ubuntu, I tried adding another account I needed added, and that went without a hitch. The only think I can think of is the address I am trying to add is linked to a email address for a website being transferred to me that is hosted by Yahoo and its business mail. I tried adding the yahoo account directly, but I add the same issues with passwords, but I suspect most of you know that is because Yahoo is simply sucking more and more in an attempt to become irrelevant.
I cannot believe the swiftness of your the help on this forum, within seconds you guys fixed the problem, and the account was added with no further issues. The people on this forum rock!!!!!
I am now beginning to suspect it indeed had to do with that first lot of wrong passwords. -
Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
