I had my iphone yesterday everything works except for facetime and I can recieve txts and send imessages but i cant send normal text messages??????

I had my iphone ysterday set it up and updated it as it told me to. Everything works but my phone will not let me send normal txt messages. When going onto setting ands facetime and imessages it is still saying waiting for activation. It will only let me set imessages thru my email its nt giving me the option to send thru my phone number!! can anyone help!!!

Talk to your carrier. Your account may not be provisioned correctly for text messaging. That would explain the problem activating facetime as well, since it uses SMS to activate.

Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on itunes store it opens but there is no content there

Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on itunes store it opens but there is no content there.Has anyone suffered the same glich or know a solution this problem?.Tanx

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. You might get lucky but I wouldn't count on it.
You should have turned it off immediately and put it in rice but since you used it after getting wet, your chances are very slim.

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

I updated to yosemite and now if someone is using imessage and sends a text message to my phone it doesn't show up on my phone but does on my computer. I don't want messages on my computer! How do I get this to go away and work like it used to?

Follow the instructions under the heading "How to unlink a phone number" on this page.

ITunes download said I needed to uninstall first. Followed instructions on how to uninstall. Everything worked except for iTunes itself and it won't uninstall but won't install either. Help!

I followed the instructions for the uninstall as found on the website, but all of the software except for iTunes uninstalled successfully. Now it won't uninstall and the updated version won't instal either and I have no idea what to do. I'm very frustrated at this point as I've tried everything on the support website.

Perfect, thanks.
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

IPhone keeps receiving and sending out text message instead of imessage

For some odd reason my iphone has been sending and receiving text messages rather than imessage to other iphone users. When they send messages to me their phone is sending it as text to me. Also when they send messages, it takes a long time to send and it takes a while to finish sending. I called Sprint and they said that if I have iMessage on, I have to turn off MMS. If I have MMS on, I have to turn off iMessage. That completely doesn't make any sense to me at all. My phone is an iPhone 4. Thanks in advance for the help

I figured out how to default back to text messages if iOS 8 was forcing you to use iMessages! It's a bit of a process but it goes as follows:
1. Leave iMessage on (trust me)
2. Select the "send & receive" section
3. Uncheck your Apple ID (the grey one)
4. Select your Apple ID (the blue one)
5. Select "sign out"
6. Back up & turn iMessage off
7. Voila! You can send text messages now!

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.
