I washed my Iphone in washing machine so I bought a Samsung Note 3. Now I need to go into my Iphone that is in a landfill some where and change the message settings to "send as SMS". How can I do this on line?e
I cannot receive any text messages from friends and family with an IPHONE.
You can't change the settings for receiving text messages to "send as SMS". This works only for sending messages from your device to other phones that are not using iMessage.
Friends and family have to change the settings on their iPhones, if they are trying to send iMessages instead of SMS to your phone number.
They can also try to delete your contact info from their phones and add it again after that, once you've sent iMessages between iPhones, the number is remembered as an "iPhone number" by the device until you delete it from the contacts.

Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over. How can I fix this message?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have a Photopshop Elements 10.0 on my Mac, I purchased it in English, did an upgrade of my Mac to OS Yosemite and suddenly the language of Photoshop is German. How can I fix this ?
I have found another solution. I upgraded to Yosemite and found the the App Store version of PSE 10 (which didn't change) was suddenly in German. Close PSE if it is open. Use the Finder and go to the PSE 10 application in the Applications folder. Right click (or ctl-click) on it and select "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents>Locales and delete the de_DE folder. (I imagine you could also rename it to something starting with a letter after "e". I think PSE is probably using the first language it comes to in this Locale folder.) Start PSE. It worked for me. Hope this helped.

During browsing I notice that from time to time half of my bookmarks disappear from the bookmarks toolbar. I don't think it's related to their creation date as I have old and new bookmarks intermingled across the bar. What can I be doing to cause this, or what is happening that I can fix?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My daughter and I have an iphone - my messages are appearing on her phone - how can I stop this?
You are apparently both using the same Apple ID. Change her to a different Apple ID and this will stop.

I just got a new iphone and we are hooked up to the same apple ID in this family, and his Ipad Have been receiving my texts. How can I fix this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages. -

Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
METHOD ONE:
Make a backup in iTunes
open iBackupBot (Google it)
Go to the relevant backup
Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete. You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is.
Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
Then just restore that backup using iTunes!
Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! METHOD TWO:
Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!
P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!! -
In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.
Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps. -

My phone screen is cracked and my LCD is broken. I need to reset to factory settings before I discard it, how can I do this? I was able to get it into recovery mode, I unconnected it from my Find my iPhone (i couldn't erase that way because I can't connect to WIFI with the screen not working). I clicked restore iPhone from iTunes, but it's been sitting on "Contacting the iPhone software update server..." for over 40 minutes. Should I restart this process or is it supposed to take a really long time? Thanks!

I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.
Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account. -
