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.

Hello chickenrob,
Indeed, this can be done with Home Sharing. The article linked below details how to set it up.

I downloaded the OS X version 10.9 and my Iphoto version 9.2.3 will not open. I get a message that I can't use this version of the application I photo with this version of OS X. How do I upgrade to a i photo that will run on 10.9. Do I purchase a new program or can I do just an download?
Check the "Purchases" page in the Mac App Store and see if there is a more recent version there already waiting for you.

I have an Ipad with Verizon Wi Fi + Cellular. Can I use this as my sole internet provider for this device?
If you choose but you need to be careful with your data plan and make sure you use wifi at home. This approach will make you pad a sole source so others in tying household will need to use your device. It's really your call.

I am transferring my mother's address book and mail etc to my computer from an external hard drive enclosure and am not able to open it due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP! Is there a way to open her older applications and get the info out?
her email is in user>Library>Mail folder. Hopefully you've created another user on your Mac for your mother so she would have her own user Library.

Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
I can't help you with a direct answer. For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone).
If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service. -
Can I trade my ipad 2 for new air ipad?
Can I trade my ipad 2 for new air ipad?
No. Apple does not take trade ins.
You can sell your iPad and use the money to buy a new one.
Alternatively you can use one of Apple's recycling partners to get an Apple Store Gift card for a fraction of the iPad's worth and use that in any Apple store to buy a new iPad.

You can get an estimate for your iPad here:

HT3529 I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?
I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?
Hey there fwhitson,
It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G eventhough it's engraved?
Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G even though it's engraved?
According to Apple's customer service line you can return an engraved iPad for an exchange, but it's not clear if it's within 14 or 30 days. If you call they says 30, but their site says 14. I think it has to be purchased straight through Apple though. Contact where you bought it from and tell them you are thinking of buying a iPad and having it engraved, but are concerned about the refund policy. They'll explain it in more detail at that time.

New iMac user here, I recently bought a new iMac and Time capsule and have the whole network up and running now. I have connected another external HD to the time capsule as well and have a total of 3 TB of storage connected wireless to my new iMac. My question is can I use this location as the default location for iTunes? I doubt I am gonna run out of room considering the iMac has 1 TB of storage already, but I'd prefer to keep my movies and music off the Mac to keep it running smoothly. If this is possibly, I'd like to do this with iPhoto as well.
I would advise against placing your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule is designed as a backup device and not for wireless streaming of video.
Before you do anything more, can I suggest you put into place a reliable, redundant backup strategy.
Unless you are prepared to risk loss of your iTunes library due to a hard drive failure, I would not put iTunes on the Time Capsule.
Leave your iTunes library on your iMac until such time as your internal drive is full. Backup to Time Capsule using Time Machine and create a clone of your internal iMac HD to your external drive.
That's my 2 cents worth. Others may have a different opinion. -

You should be able to. As long as you are signed in to the same AppleID that has an available balance. The services are linked.
