When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi, does my message show up as blue or green?

When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi and using a cell connection, does my message show up as blue or green?

Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text. If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from. Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

Is there a way to read text messages from the past in a thread that has been ongoing for months?

Is there a way to view/recover messages from months ago in a thread that has been ongoing? The messages are not deleted. If i just keep "loading new messages" a) it will take all day, I've tried, and b) it freezes on me.

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Both will allow you to archive your text messages to your computer and read them easily.

HT202724 IS IT STILL TRUE THAT YOU CAN SEND PICTURE FREE FROM IPHONE TO IPHONE VIA IMESSAGE

Can you tell me why its changed and now i`m getting charged for sending pictures through imessage to another iphone ?

It's only free when both parties use Wi-Fi. If you use your data plan or have to use a phone line that is not toll-free, then you or the other party may be charged.

Turning off Messaging from my mac...

I no longer have my phone to turn it off. And my phone isn't listed for me to unregister it?

Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?

Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
I would appreciate any advice on the intricacies of operating with Snow Leopard on my main computer and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air.

I'm not sure there are any intricacies except you can't use iCloud to keep the two things synced. It would be mostly contacts, Safari bookmarks, Calendars, notes, etc.
Also, iCloud allows saving iWork documents in the Cloud, so you can access them on both systems. That would not be available for the old Mac.
The two OSes are similar enough that it wouldn't be too difficult to work between the two, but there will be differences in using the Finder (contextual menu changes)
I thought I would have more, but I've been off Snow Leopard for so long now, I'll leave this for someone who is currently operating like that or recently switch to Mountain Lion from SL.

My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date. I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with. Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

Not sure if it will help but if you had registered it with Apple you could try unregistering it. To do this:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on ">" to the right of the device you want to unregister
Click "unregister"

Failure to move messages from one account to another

I have recently started having problems when trying to move messages from one account to another. I get a message that says: The IMAP command "APPEND" (to INBOX) failed with server error: message contains NUL characters.
I have tried shutting down and restarting, repaired permissions. Not sure what to do next. Any help?

Ernie,
One is POP thru Cox Comm and the other is mobile me (the old .mac accts). Why would all of a sudden there be an issue when I several times during the day have been able to move messages from Cox to mobile me?

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.
