I do not recieve texts from iMessage friends when I am not connected to the internet(wifi nor 3G). Am I supposed to, if so is there a setting on my part to fix this? Even the techs at my provider can not give me a definative answer.

iMessage uses data not your messaging plan. You need to have either Wi-Fi or cellular data turned on to use iMessage

Not recieving texts from Iphone users

Just signed up with Verizon and got my new LG G2 but I'm unable to receive or send messages to IPhone users. I've already tried downloading the Verizon messages app and done a factory reset on my phone. Not sure what else to try here. I've never owned an IPhone so the deregister of Imessage does no good. Any Ideas??

Is this your first cell phone ever? If not, were you able to receive texts from iPhone users on your previous cell phone(s)?
Have you inquired with your contacts what color of bubble is around the text messages they are sending you? If it is blue, they are attempting to send it as an iMessage and think your phone is an iPhone. If it is green, they are attempting to send it as a text.
As Snn5 has stated, there is a setting in iMessages which much be turned on to send messages as SMS/MMS if iMessage is unavailable. It is possible that this is not set such that a SMS/MMS can be sent.
Do you not receive texts from ANY iPhones or do messages from some iPhones get thru?

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

HT3180 Ok, I got the Apple TV all hooked up. Im pretty handy and have a lot of experience putting electronics together, but this one has got me. I can not seem to get it to connect to my iTunes. Probably something running in the background.

Having problems with Home Sharing with the WiFi. Can not seem to get the Apple TV to connect to my iTunes. Must be something running in the background of the router or laptop. Need help.

Yes to all, however ive noticed when I turn on the itues Home Sharing, and it says it is on in the File pull down, it disapears from the Livrary pull down. I attempt to view my Library on my iPhone or iPad under the Remote app and it states i have no songs or content. Although it will let me mirror my device on the TV screen.

I just got a 3g iphone from a friend and i went to connect it to my wifi, i entered the code, and it connected then it suddenly disconnected then reconnected and so on. the past person had it jailbroken , so should i restore?

please help me

Probably best to restore to new, but may be worth checking with your friend if it is locked to a carrier. If you restore it and it is locked you will only be able to use a sim from that carrier.

Not receiving texts from a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I get all other texts.

I am not receiving texts from a friend who owns a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I receive all other texts from other phones and other providers. She has never owned any Apple products, including an Apple iPhone. Other people she texts with receive her texts fine.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

Hi xg33kx,
That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!
Thank you,

iOS: Unable to update or restore
Are you sure your friend didn't jailbreak it?
If so, save yourself a lot of time and trouble - throw it in the trash.

Turn off iMessage on the iPhone as should have been done prior to switching devices.
Settings > Messages > iMessage > OFF

I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Links should not create any problems in Keynote. If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped

You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom.

Not receiving messages from a friend with the iphone 5

I've got the iphone 5 and recently a friend has got one too. He has tried to send me numerous mesaages on his iphone5 to let me know his new number but to no avail. I'm still getting texts from other friends and some have iphones (although not the iphone 5). If I send a text to his iphone he does receive it but I am not receving his texts back.
I've checked a couple of forums and it mentioned it could be due to iMessage (I have iMessage set to on all the time) my mate has checked and says his iMessage is on too. He is receving texts from me and other friends but i am for some reason not receving his texts. Any ideas? I am completely stuck.
Cheers
Lee.

You have both gone into your iMessage settings and made certain that the phone numbers are correct as well as your Apple ID, and email address?

I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches."

It hasn't, what should I do? Thanks Shawn (Irish Se7en) .

Can you try to rename (not delete!) the folder named "YOUR_CATALOG_NAME Previews.lrdata" and restart Lightroom?

I do not recieve texts from iMessage friends when I am not connected to the internet(wifi nor 3G). Am I supposed to, if so is there a setting on my part to fix this? Even the techs at my provider can not give me a definative answer.
