    That setting is only related to iMessage. It causes iMessages to be resent as SMS if iMessage fails.

  • How can I text non apple user?

    I am having trouble I.M people with Apple products and also want to text non Apple users.  Do I need a special app?  Can I text from my Yahoo account?  If so, how?

    Is the ipad registered with iMessage
    Are they both connected to wifi
    Have you got the right email address
    And viber is a free app on the app store
    Go and check it out but read the reviews first

  • How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    "Settings > Messages > Send as SMS = "On""
    That is only for sending SMS if the iMessage user is not available via wifi or data.
    If sending text to non-iphone user, that setting does nothing.

  • Send iMessages to non apple users with my iPad air

    My macbook air is intermittent in sending iMessages to non apple users. Also, when it does work, it does not show the name of the contact even though they are in my contact book.

    You cannot send texts from an iPad.

  • Downloaded the 3.1 onto my 1st generation i pod touch, when turned on there is an apple with a bar half full under it. I have reset but can not bring up my home screen now. HELP ME!!!

    I have a first generation I pod touch. I recently downloaded the 3.1 version to it. In the middle of the download, an apple with a bar appeared under it, the bar has been only half full for many hours now. I reset the Ipod, but still this appears, and can not get my Ipod to turn off or get to the home screen. I can only reset it to turn it off! HElp me please! Or should I truck it down to the MAC store downtown?

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

    I can not change my old apple ID to new one on my iphone4.  It's showing old apple ID and my password doesn't match with that.

    Go to "Settings > iCloud", scoll down, and delete your account from your device, then sign in with your new ID.

  • Can not text to other phones from my iPad

    I am only able to send and receive texts on my iPad with limited success to others

    You can only use the Messages app with other iOS users. It does not send SMS text messages. You need to use a third party texting app if you want to text with non iOS users.
    Look at TextFree or Viber.

    Especially check Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure your time zone is set correctly.
