If you do not have imessage enabled, can you still text with people that do?

I just updated my iphone 4 to the ios5 software, but disabled imessage because I have heard that it is unreliable. Can I still text with people that do have imessage enabled on their phone?

iMessages are only sent as SMS if iMessage is unavailable and "Send as SMS" is enabled in Settings.
Settings -> Messages > Send as SMS
I do not believe this is enabled as a default setting.

Also the money I spent on my Older model MAC, is out of date. Needs a battery. Cant find one, anywhere. Like Apple does not sell them, and It will NOT do APPS
Any help on this, Thank you

So basically you are saying you have a New Computer and you do not have access to your Old Computer and you did not Create and Maintain a Backup of iTunes... Correct.?
And you want to Sync your iPhone to the New Computer... and your New Computer is Authorised...?

After you get this issue resolved... suggest you Create and Maintain a Backup of iTunes and any other Precious / Important Content you cannot afford to lose.

I can not remember my passcode and do not have icloud installed, can i still use my laptop to backup up my files before resetting my phone?

i just saw the 60 minute warning and even though i confirmed my passcode it does not seem to be working, i am currently plugged into my laptop can i still save all my data like this or do i need to disable the phone first and then reset ?

hey thanks for your help, so now the phone is asking to be reconfigured , i am not picking up my wifi on the phone so im using the itunes on the laptop but having tried a couple times the only message i see it: Sorry we are unable to contiune with your activation at this time" on the itunes page. I'm in haiti but i dont c that as an option when selecting country or region on the phone so i have selected Jamaica as that is where i am from although the phone was a gift and im not sure where it was bought as the person died. Could this be a reason y i see the message on itunes?????

My MacBook Pro is malfunctioning and I do not have Applecare. Can I still take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at?

It all started after I downloaded the Maverick operating system. My computer gets "stuck" on different programs and I have to force shut it off by holding down the power button. First it started with changing the desktop background in system preferences, then my iPhoto would freeze up, now my iTunes is freezing up and I cannot sync my devices. I tried backing up my system but that won't even work either. Along with this, different programs on my computer now just close out unexpectedly. I am thinking it is either a virus or a software problem. I don't have AppleCare though, so what can I do? I don't live near any Apple Stores so I want to make sure I can actually do something about this before I drive some long distance to go find an Apple Store.

You can save yourself a trip by doing everything the Apple "Geniuses" will do.
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test. It will show nothing wrong.
2. Reinstall OS X. There will be no change.
3. Back up your data, erase the startup volume in Recovery mode, and install the OS again. Test without restoring any of your data. If you can't reproduce the problem with the machine in that state, then it's solved, as far as the "Geniuses" are concerned.
When you restore your data from the backup, the problem will reappear. Go back to the Apple Store, and the cycle will be repeated.
If you expect an Apple "Genius" to help you solve a problem with incompatible third-party software, which is what this probably is, you're going to be sorely disappointed. They're not allowed to do that, and they don't know how.

How do you delete a picture that does not have the trash can icon to do so.

I Am trying to delete a picture and it does not have the trash can icon.

You have to sync it off of the device using iTunes. That is likely how it got there in the first place.

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

I do not have utility bill, can't they use my bank account to prove my address?

I do not have utility bill, can't they use my bank account to prove my address? I have given them everything about me and they want more? This is getting spooky and spammy feeling. Why do they want so much information? Don't they have everything about me already? I need my Paypal to deposit money on the Bank of America card which is the biggest scam ever. They take out so much money- I get overdrafted if I do not deposit. I do not drive. I am not able to drive to the bank so I use PAYPAL. .. and I feel like such a slave. Paypal is starting to feel a little like that with these rules and holding my money and then charging me just for moving my money around. Now I have to buy a scanner and get a utility bill? Whats next blood fingerprints? What if I do not want a utility in my name? Is there another option, or does that mean my Paypal will just start acquiring negative charges and I will be sent to collections. Why can't I add money to my account? WHAT BANK IN THE WORLD PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM DEPOSITING? I am so mad. Does anyone feel me? I do not have a utiilty bill in my name. So that means I cannot access Paypal no longer? Is this it? Is my decade old relationship with Paypal over? I feel so bad!

Sigh.
You must use a credit card with your name on it and registered at your home address.

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

Not sure why this happened, but are you syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer?
If not, calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since this data went missing, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync with iTunes before doing so, and do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so when prompted.

I am trying to shift my backup folder for many weeks to another location/drive on my pc hard drive(windows xp). have tried to use the recommended JUNCTION for the same but do not have a complete step by step instruction to do that. can anybody help me

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system/tool to link the two togther and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

I have a iPhone 5s fell into the water and damaged fingerprint sensor motion and lines of light appeared on the screen, but it still works and did not hurt anything else Can I replace it with a new phone

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

I have tried that also, but its still doing the same thing

The ff default theme keeps re-enabling itself after computer restart even though I enable littlefox and restart firefox, and it does the same on more than one computer. I want littlefox to start with firefox, not have to enable every time.

Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.
