I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.

Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically I am trying to access messages that were in my deleted folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically, I am trying to access messages from my now deceased father that were in my deleted voicemail folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

The iCloud backup includes visual voicemail messages. I'm not sure if it includes the deleted ones or not, but I would assume it does.

I have an I pad Mini. Since i down loaded the new update ISO 7, my I Pad is not running certain media files either from Chrome or Safari browser. I called technical support but they failed to provide any help stating the media files may not be compctable with new soft ware. I do bnot agree with their finding because i have I phone with ISO 7 updated soft ware and same files run on my I phone but not on I Pad. This was working fine before updating new software. This device is useless for me if i can not watch the program that i bought this for. I want device to replaced or taken back by the company. Thank you

IPhone 4 not sending/receiving texts to/from non-iPhone

Hello,
I am on a shared plan with my mother. Thursday afternoon my mom updated our plan and suddenly my phone was not sending or receiving text messages to non-iPhones. iMessage is working just fine, thus I can only talk to people with iPhones. It fairly closely correlated to the IOS update so I updated my phone and that didn't help.
I have tried resetting network setting, hard reset, toying with message settings, *228 options 1 AND 2 etc... and still nothing is working. Please help! I run a business and can not afford to not be able to be in contact with half my contacts!

Hi s13021,
Let's get your messages flowing again! Thanks for the doing the troubleshooting you have done so far. I know that running a business with a fully functional phone is needed. I have a couple things for you to try. First, turn off iMessage, power cycle your phone and keep iMessage off; try sending messages. To run a good test, send the message to your self and please put "1" in front of your number. Also, another step to try is turn off iMessage, then reset network settings, then turn it on and try again. These have been some successful steps. Please keep us posted.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

Not receiving texts/calls from some iPhone users

What is the fix for if your phone suddenly stops receiving calls/texts from some iPhone users? This started happening on my phone right before a system update and is continuing to happen. (Or rather, not happen.) Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding. I was able to receive email. I guess the problem was that it was just over 2 years old. Really loved that phone until that started happening. Trying out an iPhone now but would have liked to make that phone last longer. :/

Contacts not receiving text/sms from VZW iPhone 5

So, I switched from Att and everything is working great except for a few sms not getting through. My Friend is on the Viaero networka nd has a SG3. Sometimes they get them and most of the time they dont. Ive called VZW and they blame att and the imessage.. Ive turned imessage on and off and it still doesn't work. Anyone else havign this issue or know of a fix?
thanks

iMessage has nothing to do with SMS. SMS is exchanged over the carrier's cellular network only - the same network as calls. "Dumb"phones or phones not in the smart phone category that don't have internet access via the carrier's cellular data or internet network can exchange SMS.
If an SMS is successfully sent, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.
Are the problem SMS not successfuly sent, or is there an red indicator on the message indicating it was not sent?

All but 3 contacts and some pics disappeared from my iphone 4. I am getting pics of people I don't know showing up now. Help?!

I had my phone stolen last month and had it immediately shut off and flagged as stolen. Redid passwords also. I have my son's old iphone 4 and had my info transferred to it. Verizon was able to switch it over and all my contacts and pics showed up. Now all but 3 contacts disappeared and the old photos. I am getting pics of someone else daily on my phone now. Can someone please help me!?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Songs that are imported manually from cds or flash drives are randomly deleting from my iphone 5. Sometimes I get an error -54 message first. Sometimes not. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I have an iPhone 5 16g ios 8.2 and it keeps randomly deleting the songs I manually put on from cds or flash drives. The songs I purchased from iTunes don't delete just the ones I manually add. It has happened three times, once after I added 399 songs, once after I added 27 songs and once when I added 45 songs. Sometimes an error (-54) pops up but not always, it's just in an instant all the songs I put on are suddenly gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times, reset all the settings on my phone and also restored my phone to factory settings. Nothing has worked. I have a 4th generation iPod and I have never had this problem. Any and all suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

Help! I cannot get to a website I was on 3 days ago, and the history button does not seem to take me to my browsing history. SO far I have gone back to Internet Explorere as the FF4 is too frustrating, but accessing my history is critical for contacts.

In FF4 I cannot find where to access the history. I go to the red drop down box in the top of the left hand corner and there is a link to a history drop down, but then there will be nothing displayed- not for the day, or the week, or---. Where has the access to this information been moved? I am using Windows 7 .

CTRL+H should give you your history unless you enabled "Clear Browsing History" in Options | Options | Privacy.
Have a look at this add-on too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/undo-closed-tabs-button/

When I plug in my ipod, I get a message that access is blocked by my password on the ipod. However I can't get to my ipod to change it. Any suggestions? The "home" button does not work

I've been told that I need to sync my new computer with my apple ipod. HELP!!

If you do not know the passcode to your iPod Touch, you'll need to connect the iPod to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it in recovery mode. However, since your home button doesn't work, you'll need to use a program such as this one to try and get it into recovery mode.

TS2755 I would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer. (I have verizon as a carrier)

Hey:
Hi everyone.
would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
(I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
Can you help me.
Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.

There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer.

Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.
