I have an old iPhone and my new phone that I'm using currently. The old one isn't being used. Can I make both of the phones receive all of my text messages even though my old one doesn't have service but there is wifi?

You can activate iMessage on the old one so it can get your iMessages. The old phone will NOT recieve SMS/MMS messages sent to your number.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

TS2755 My husband and I have a linked apple account and i cloud. Now he is receiving all of my text messages. How can I fix it to where he only receives his messages and not mine? Any help is appreciated!

My husband and I both have iphones and both are linked to the app store and i cloud. Now my husband is receiving all of my text messages and has all my contacts. How can we get it to where he does not receive my messages anymore? Any help is appreciated!

Best way is to get your own Apple ID, but until then have him go to Settings > Message > Receive at and remove your phone number.

I have lost my iPhone and it has stated that it is offline. I received an email that stated it went online and activated play a sound and lost mode. So I went into iPhone app and it says offline. Is there any way to find ?

Not unless it goes back online. If it was stolen it may have been restored, in which case it will never appear again in Find My iPhone.

There are sites that will buy your old device and then you can use that towards buying a new one. Look at gazelle.com as an example

Is there anyway to sync an iphone to a macbook to receive all of your text messages thru the macbook?

Anyway of syncing an iphone to an macbook so that you can receive text messages that are being sent to your iphone # on the macbook?

SMS is sent through the cellular system. You cannot receive SMS on a computer like an email.

How can someone else with a different computer retrieve all my past text messages?

How can someone retrieve my text messages whitha different computer, as far back as 6 months ago. Someone is reading all my past text

Yeah no kidding.
I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend. Click click done!
It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.
Apple - please fix this.

I have downloaded Mountain Lion and Time Machine says that my Free Agent Goflex (Seagate) external 2gb drive cannot be used as it is read only. I tried disc utility to repair permissions but that block is greyed out. The disc verifies as being OKI

Since installing Mountain Lion, Time Machine says says that my Free Agent Goflex (Seagate) external 2gb drive cannot be used as it is read only. I tried disc utility to repair permissions but that block is greyed out. The disc verifies as being OKI What next?

Ok, I solved this problem! I ejected the drive and then disconnected it both from the power supply and the USB connector. I then reconnected everything and powered it up again and Then went into TM preferences and chose the drive as the backup. TM did a new backup (well over an hour) and now works as advertised.

Removing registered user from old iphone and setting new user on it

Ya i had a Iphone 3g and updated to the iphone 4 and got all set up it no prob then cleard the 3g and gave it to my sister and she synced it to her library no prob but when she goes to download a app it asks for my log in

How did you clear the iPhone 3G?
Was it cleared by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup with iTunes on your computer, or did you use the erase all content and settings option on the iPhone?
If she is logged in to iTunes with her iTunes account on her computer and her computer has not been authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes, then your iTunes account should no longer be available on the iPhone.

My iphone 4 died, it won't turn on, it won't charge, it isn't being recognized by my computer. Holding the home lock buttons isn't working. I can't restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. All I see is a red battery sign. Help?

My iPhone 4 has gone completely dead and is unresponsive. Can anyone help?

I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.
