  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
    Then
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

    I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?  I have all ready download Adobe Flash Player and installed it but it has not effect.

    Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):

    And Perian for everything else:

  • I want to update my iPad software on iTunes.  It downloads but will not verify, what can I do?

    Can I update my iPad software on my Mac at work and then use it as normal at home on my PC there which has the latest version of iTunes but will not download the updated software for the iPad?

    With that one, I'd try the following document:

  • I cannot delete unwanted app from my iPhone 5.  They wiggle and show the X but when I press the X it grays our but will not delete or go back to the home page when I press the home button

    The icons wiggle and show the x but they will not delete when I press the X.  Also the home button will not cancel the action.

    Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After this, try again to delete the app.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • Recently updated iphoto and now I can't find any videos made earlier than the middle of '08. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this. I'm fairly clueless about Macs so please help!!

    I'm worried that the videos have disappeared but I'm hoping that the problem is something related to the upgrade and the new version of iphoto being unable to read the videos. I don't remember whether they are avi, mov, or something else and when I try to look in iphoto on my external drive I'm prompted to convert the photo library so the new version of iphoto can read it. I assume that would make it impossible for me to see the videos so I don't want to do it. Thanks for any help!! Kim

    When a movie is imported into iPhoto it's automatically give the keyword "Movie". So create a smart album in your library with the criteria: Keyword is Movie. That will display every movie in your library and let you know if any are missing.

  • My phone recognizes that the charger is plugged in, but will not charge.

    I plug my phone in, using the usb cable and charger provided with the phone. The lightning bolt shows indicating is sees the ac charger, however, the battery screen shows "not Charging". I power cycle the phone and it still happens. I turn the phone off, and the battery indicator shows that it is plugged in, but the charge percentage never changes. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

        Let's give you back the power to power your phone, kwtoman! Thanks to Ann154 for getting the conversation going! While it is always good to use the original charger, have you tested another approved charger? Did this start after installing a new app or update? How long have you had the device?
    Thank you,

  • I have my iphone plugged in, it shows that it is connected but will not charge. what can i do?

    Yesterday when I got up I noticed my phone did not charge the night before. I unplugged it and tryed a different outlet, and a different plug and my computer. None worked. I went to verizon they told me nothing can be done but to get a new phone. This morning I took a soft brush and a little bit of alcohol and now it is reconizing the charger but not charging.  What can I do?

    Maybe it is charging but battery meter is not updating. Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off". See if it seems to be charging now, or is fully charged. If still not charging, most likely the damage that the dock experienced possibly killed the battery. Battery replacement would be my next step.

  • HT4993 I am unable to open word attachments from my work email ever since I bought the 5c. The word documents just flutters but will not open

    I am unable to open word documents as attachments from my 5c. I never had the problem with the 4s. Is it something in the settings?

    Since you didn't describe "the suggested work-arounds" I can only guess whether you've tried this, but in that message there should be a paperclip icon on the left at the bottom of the header. If you drag that icon onto your computer's Desktop, you should see the attachment(s) there. Can you open them by double-clicking?

  • I have a ipod touch 8gb when i plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen but will not charge what could be wrong it was fine yesterday?

    I have a ipod touch 8gb . When I plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen what could be wrong?

    Maybe:
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
