I can't text a person that use to have an iPhone. how to fix?
My brother use to have an iphone a few years ago. I was able to text him since he switched to Android. Now all of a sudden I can't text him. I am assuming it has someting to do with imessaging. I am able to receive texts from him. Help please!! (Also he does not remember apple id or password so trying to disable it that way is impossible have tried to recover both many times)
How does he not know his username/password if he's using an iPod Touch?
Anyways, he can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover his username/password.
Failing that, he can call Apple Account Security, verify his identity, and then they can provide him with his Apple ID, but not his password. He'll have to have access to his email address for that.

I recently upgraded to the 5s. My brother used to have an iphone but switched to another phone. When i try to text him, my phone tries to send an imessage and i get a delivery failed message and have to resend as a text. i have removed his contact info a couple of times and reseyt imessage several times but still keep having this issue. Any ideas?
That's because your brother failed to turn off iMessage before switching to a different phone. He will need to fix that. The only thing that you can do to avoid the problem is turn off iMessage.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably user error. -
I have a friend that just got a new cell phone, it's not a iPhone, but the person that use to have the number that she got did! I can't message my friend, they go out as iMessages to the other person! How can I fix this without turning all my iMessages off?
She needs to call the carrier on her old iPhone and have it removed from her account.
Once she does that you will not be able to use iMessage because that only works Apple to Apple.
You will need to use something else like Skype instead.

I can't use my iPad message for texting. Am I required to have an iPhone to use this service?
I used to have an iPhone but switched to the dark side and went with a Samsung Galaxy Zoom (yes an android) I used to be able to receive and send text on my iPad. I no longer can receive text. Am I required to have an iPhone to do so? I backup my iPad on iCloud and have my email associated with it. But everytime I go to text I get an error message.
and other people who text me their messages show up on my iPad. But there are others who are not showign up on the message when they send to me. So puzzled as to why I can't send out and why some messages come through iPad and others do not.

Is there an issue going on with the iPhones? And iPads? I cannot send text pics. I can't get on Facebook, and I can't get on anything that uses Facebook ex Slotomania. This has been going on for a few days!!! It is happening with and without upgrades.
Contact facebook to address the facebook issues.

Can only text one person at a time??
I can't believe Apple designed the iPhone so you can only text one person at a time. Major blunder on their part. I really hope they correct this with a software update very soon........
What does everyone else think?Hola RKpod,
Welcome to the forums!
This has been a feature that has had a lot of discussion here. For now, the only thing that we could do is request it via the proper channels:

I can't connect my personal hotspot using wifi,I can able to find my iphone4 but it's just showing obtaing ip adress ??wat can I do for this problem??
Hey there arunvdi,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

My partner used to have an iphone but changed to samsung now anytime i go to text him he is not getting my messages as its showing up as imessage can you advise me on what to do please ? i have already reset my phone but this hasnt worked
If your partner registered his iPhone under his support profile, he could try to login & remove the iPhone. This will stop your iMessage problem. Do so here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
The other thing your partner could try is to insert his sim into an iPhone and turn off iMessage there but this maybe a little more difficult if his Samsung doesn't use a MicrSIM. -

I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.
Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

You can try resetting the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/. If that doesn't work, you'll have to contacct Apple support for assistance.
