I have been trying to send my Non Apple friends/family messages from my I Pad. How do I get this to work??

It won't. iMessage isn't an SMS service. It's for Apple-to-Apple and uses cellular data. SMS uses a cellular SMS plan, which does not come with your iPad. You'd have to have a cell phone to send texts like that. Alternatively, you can find an instant messaging app like Skype (they do messaging, not just video chat) or MSN Messenger that goes across platforms. You install it, they install it, you can chat with them.

I had to wipe my old hard drive unexpectedly, and have been trying to recover the bookmarks on my sync account on a fresh PC. How can I do this?

Same laptop, new hard drive. I know the bookmarks are out there on a cloud, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to put them back on a PC

Did you save the Sync key of that Sync account before you wiped that drive?
The Sync key is used to encrypt the data locally before it is send to the sync server and without that key your data is lost and can't be recovered.<br />
If you have the sync key then you can set up Sync to use the old account with your email address and password that was used to create it.<br />
If you lost your password then a new password can be send to your email address, but your sync key is not stored on the sync server, so can't be recovered.<br />

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5. Can't do it, except for 1 at a time. I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer. Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5. I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos! Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.
Cheers,

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

You have to look at the email protocol being used. the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library. I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle. I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times. How do i get this to work?

I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library. I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle. I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times. How do i get this to work?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

I got a movie (the mist) from the itoons store. My ipad says I can not be played. How do I get this to work on my IPad?

I got a movie (the mist) from the itoons store. My ipad says I can not play it. How do I get this to work????

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

This means that your system mail client is not set up to send mail. It's likely that you used a ''web based e-mail client''.
Try copying your message into a normal "Compose Message" screen from within your e-mail. (Go to your regular inbox and look for '''Compose''')

TS1702 My cars 2 app mate app is not working after upgrading from ipad to ipad 2...... synced.... uninstalled and re installed several times as well as wiped ne ipad out and re did the whole proccess several times. how can I get this app working?

I have installed the cars 2 app mate on a ipad 2 from an ipad 1 synced with itunes account.. all is working except this app. After many times of un installing and re installing aswell as talking to apple tech suport this app is still not working.... its there it just has no function...... how can i get this installed and working, my grandson is autistic and uses this app many hours a day........ it is important for me to get this up and running again for him.......

(1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
(2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY.

To get Ringtones to appear under Library on the left-hand side of iTunes, go into Edit > Preferences and on the General tab make sure that Ringtones is ticked.

I was advised by Adobe tech on Chat that my Serial Number is for a MAC and I have a PC...but he didn't offer to change my platform...how can I get this done?

Case Number:0214213994
I was advised that my serial number for CS6 Master Collection was for MAC...I have a PC. The agent didn't offer to change platform for me which I was since advised by the college that this is what he should have done.
How can I get this done as I am rarely able to access the 24 hr chat option.

Thanks for your help Jeff...actually it turned out that Chrome was the issue and even FIrefox didn't work ....it was slow clunky old IE that eventually got me the chat option and I finally got my issue resolved.....I was getting pretty desperate and am now VERY happy to have my Master Collection back.
Sorry I don't know enough about plugins to help you there but all other functions that I need to do with Chrome work as a rule so I cannot help as far as Adobe is concerned. I know that Chrome often has shock wave errors due to incompatibility with the player on my device but otherwise I'm clueless.

HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?

I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

I have been trying to send messages from my Non Apple friends/family from my I Pad. How do I get this to work??
