If you use your home wifi, can your parents see your iMessages?

I'm just wondering if you use your home wifi can your parents see your iMessages?

Nobody can see your iMessages unless you let them (leave the device unlocked, set the account up on another device they have access to, have messages popup on the lock screen). It has nothing to do with where or how you use iMessage.

  • How do you fix this error?  Can't access photos Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable

    How do you fix this error?  Can't access photos----" Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and use a new library then your current library is damaged.
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can you use a external hard drive to keep all your iTunes info on it

    Can you use a external hard drive to keep all your iTunes info on it

    Yes.
    The easiest way is to copy the whole iTunes folder out to the external drive, then press and hold down shift as you click the icon to start iTunes. Keep holding shift until asked to "Create or choose a library". Choose the library on the external drive.

  • In my preferences on my mac mini when i click it, i find the lock the open even after changing the password what would cause this?I use my home wifi network and have never given the password out,as I asked what could cause this?

    What could cause the lock in my preferences to seemingly to click open on there own,I use my home wifi network which is private and have never given out that password either for my network or preferences password.....help,Thank you

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • I use my home WIFI for my ipad ... do I need to plug into my computer to do an update to IOS 7?

    I use my home WIFI for my ipad ... do I need to plug into my computer to do an update to IOS 7?

    You can connect your iPhone to your compter and update using iTunes or on Wi-Fi directly on the device.
    Just my two cents, but I found it easier to update via iTunes on my computer.

  • Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean

  • Using Application Manager, why can't I see my CS5.5 applications, just CS6 lists to buy?

    I am migrating my CS5.5 apps from an old XP laptop to a new Win8. Also Acrobat Pro, so I am using Application Manager to make sure I am not offending version copy allowances, but Application Manager is not showing any of the apps on my system, jut CS6 to buy and a couple trials. Where are my current Adobe applications?

    Once you save that to a location on your system.
    Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
    1.  In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
    2. Select Go to Folder
    3.  Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
    4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
    5. Launch Acrobat
    Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.

  • Why did iso7.1.1 change the ability to see your apps when you use four fingers to partly close the app your in. In 7.1 you could use four fingers to partly close a app and see all the apps on that home screen. I used this all the time to check the date

    Why did ISO 7.1.1 change the feature where you could use four fingers to close an app and see if he other apps on your home screen as you were closing an app. This was the handiest feature I thought because I could partially close the app I was working in and see the  date or other things on my home screen and then released the four finger position and be right back to the app I'm working in. Please change this in the next update back to the way it was!!!!!

    I get the multitasking list (all prior apps, scrollable) and can switch to an app, swipe up to force it closed instead of "at rest" and can click back to the originating app in the same place i was prior to the swipe,

  • Do you have to have a airport to acsess your home wifi?

    If i by a Mac do i have to have a airport to acsses our home wifi?

    13" MBP and then in the future consider getting this http://www.apple.com/displays/ for docking purposes. (I want this setup so bad).  and wait until they put the new intel chips in. There is going to be a remodel and then they'll start adding in the new hardware, me thinks.
    disclaimer: Remember we are not official apple spokes people and are users just like you so any information we give you will not be news or could just be rumors and lies.

  • How to connect your Verizon 4510L to your home Wifi Network

    Hello there! 
    I recently set my mom up with one of these guys and ran into the problem of having more than 5 devices that need to connect to the Internet and/or each other.  I couldn't find any resources online that described how this can be done, or even if it is allowed.  So I figured I would finally contribute to the Online community and share my success with all of you!  As a disclaimer:  I am not Verizon/Linksys/etc technical support and provide the following information freely and without warranty. The instructions below are specific to my configuration, and while yours WILL work using the same general principles, the exact steps required to make it work may be different.  In other words, YMMV   Good Luck!
    First off, my environment doesn't equal your environment, and what I will describe below is one of the more complex scenarios.  You can disregard any extra routers if you only use 1.  Here is the environment I had to work with:
    A large 2 story home with a basement area as well.  The wifi signal does not travel well from floor to floor, so we had to have 1 wireless router per floor.  We DID have the luxury of using home wiring to to phsycally connect both routers together, if you don't have that luxury, I might suggest using a "Powerline" adapter to help wire your two routers together.  Some devices required wired connectivity on both floors as well, so wireless repeaters would not be sufficient.  We purchased 2 routers to accomplish the following task.  Brand of router should not matter.  If your home is a 1 story, or have adequate coverage from a single router, you can disregard the 2nd (SLAVE) router instructions (4-5) below. 
    First off, what you will need to make this work:
    One or more Wireless Routers (we used Linksys Wireless-G or Wireless-N 4-port routers)
         *EDIT: You need only 1 router, and if an additional access point is needed, purchase an Access Point or repeater with wired/wireless capabilities*
    Verizon JetPack 4510L MiFI device
    One Wireless Bridge (we used Linksys WET610 1-port Entertainment Bridge)
    Next, lets setup the wireless/wired home network to connect all devices with one another:
    1) Choose one router to be the MASTER, and the other to simply be your SLAVE/repeater for the other floor.
    2) Before physically connecting the MASTER and SLAVE routers together perform the following:
    3) On the MASTER router:
         - Change the router IP address to 192.168.10.1
              - The 10 is random, and you can make it whatever you want (as long as it isn't "1"), just remember it and keep it consistent.
         - Configure DHCP (usually on by default) but change the subnet from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.10.x.
              - The reason for changing the DHCP subnet is because your 4510L device uses DHCP as well, and it is configured to use 192.168.1.x
                   - They can't be the same or it won't work
         - Configure your wireless SSID and security (preferably WPA2)
    4) On the SLAVE router *EDIT: or repeater or access point*:
         - Change the router IP address something outside the DHCP range 1-100, but on the same subnet as the master router (ie. 192.168.10.101)
         - Disable DHCP on the router, as all address assignment is going to come from the MASTER
              - You may want to tape over the WAN port as well to remind yourself that it will not be used
         - Configure your wireless SSID and security to match that of the MASTER router
              - This will make it easier for your clients to use both access points and move throughout your home without having an issue
    5) Connect both routers together with Ethernet (either direct cable, home ethernet wiring, powerline adapter, etc)
         - You want to connect both routers using one of the built in network ports (1-4)
    There, now you have both floors of your home setup to accept either wired or wireless clients who will be assigned 192.168.10.x IP addresses.  However, they will not have access to the Internet...yet!
    The MiFi device by default has a long SSID, and the password to connect is on a label on the bottom of it.  Power it on in the room next to a computer (probably a windows computer), and view your wireless networks to connect to from the desktop.  You will probably see the wireless network name you just created on the routers and the "Verizon ..." MiFi name.  Simply make a note of the EXACT SSID being broadcasted by the MiFi device.  If you changed the default WiFi password before attempting this, make a note of that new password as well.
    Next, lets use the key to making this thing work...the Wireless Bridge.  The wireless bridge first needs to be physically connected to either router on ports 1-4.  The bridge will get an IP address assigned to it and you will need to find that address out so that you can access it from a web browser.  The easiest way to find that out is to connect to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on Status menu->Local network, and then click the "DHCP client table" button.  You will find the bridge name and IP address there.  Keep that administration window open. 
    Next, connect your web browser with the bridges IP address so that you can manually configure it to access the MiFi device.  The bridge will ask if you want auto or manual configuration, and you want manual.  When prompted for the SSID and security type, type in the SSID of the MiFi device EXACTLY as you wrote it down.  Next, under security, change the type to WPA2-Personal, and type in the password to access the Verizon MiFi device (either on the sticker under it, or whatever you previously changed it to).  Once you complete that setup, the status page should tell you that the bridge is connected and have an IP address (192.168.1.x) assigned to it.  Once that is done, you can close your web browser to the wireless bridge.
    Disconnect the bridge from the routers network ports and now connect it to the MASTER routers WAN port.
    Next, return to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on the Status menu and view the WAN IP information.  If everything was connected correctly:
    MiFi wirelessly -> Wireless Bridge wired -> Master router WAN port (then optionally wired from port 1) -> Slave router port 1 
    Then, you should see the WAN IP address of 192.168.1.x assigned to your MASTER router.
    If you do see that, then congratulations, open a web browser from any of your wired/wireless clients connected to your home network, and you should be able to access the Internet!  You will be able to support as many clients as your Routers will allow you to directly connect (104 if I am not mistaken)...Yay!
    I hope my experience helps you all in achieving the same results!
    Troubleshooting:
    If you do not see a WAN IP address, you might want to power off the MASTER router, the Wireless Bridge and MiFi device.  Then in the following order power up each one, one at a time, giving the unit time to fully configure and connect to their respective networks:  First MiFi, then the Bridge, then the MASTER router.
    After the Master router is fully powered on, test a webpage again from any client connected to your new home network and it should work. 
    If it _still_ doesn't work, I would recheck the steps listed above to see if anything was missed.  Particularly, making sure you changed the router IP and DHCP subnet of the MASTER router to something other than 192.168.1.x.
    Good Luck!

    Q: "In your example of using the wireless repeater, assuming it is on a different floor than the main router, how are the clients connecting to the network on that floor?"
    A: However you like, both devices support thier own cabled and wireless connections. 
    I assume you are only interested in wireless client connections since cable connections are straight forward.  Depending on how you setup the SSID's clients will connect to either the router or the repeater and they should be overlapping eachother a little. 
    Same SSID:
    If the router and repeater share the same SSID then the client will decide on thier own which one to connect to.  The client will roam between the two on its own criteria as the user moves around the enviornment.  Roaming and transitioning will happen seamlessly for you and you should not notice a break in your connection unless you have something really specific connected to the internet.  In most cases you cannot influence this behavior on your devices as they all have thier own criteria for choosing one SSID over another with a similar name. 
    Different SSID:
    If the SSID's are different then the user must manually connect to one network or the other.  Roaming will not be seamless and as the user walks out of range the client will be disconnected from the device.  This provides the best reliability and control but requires more user intervention.
    Q:"So correct me if I am wrong, but in your setup, there would be 2 wifi network, and the soft limitation of 4 devices on the repeater floor.
    A. Nope, the repeater will support as many devices as it can, depending on the model you purchase.  Even though the repeater needs a wireless connection with the MiFi, the Repeater rebroadcasts and acts as its own independant wireless router.  The MiFi could care lesss how many people are connected to the Repeater, all it see's is one connection.  If you removed the MiFi from the repeater then the repeater will continue to broadcast its own SSID.  Clients connected to the repeater will not be disconnected from the repeater SSID but they would not recieve internet until the MiFi returns.
    With the repeater enviornment you could have 10 people on the repeater, 10 people on the wireless router and 4 people directly conneted to the MiFi all at the same time.  I dont suggest it running like that for performance reasons but hopefully you get the idea.

  • Can you use facetime with wifi only? No SIM card in iphone4

    Party A: No SIM Card, in US, calling using WIFI
    Party B: SIM Card, in another country, receiving calls, with WIFI
    Can Party A and B connect through Facetime?
    Thanks for your time.

    Slight correction: FaceTime on the *iPhone* needs your SIM number.  FaceTime on the iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS have no such need.
    This is one of the things I hate about Apple.  Why not just allow everything to behave the same?  Why should FaceTime, a non-cellular application, have to behave differently on the iPhone than on all other platforms?
    (I also don't like that Videos lives in the iPod app on the iPhone, but has it's own app on the iPod Touch and iPad)

  • If I use my home WiFi to get on the internet, does that count against my data usage?

    I'm all set to join Verizon for the first time, except for one thing. Unlike Sprint (terrible but improving speeds on their network), I see that my bill will be a bit higher with Verizon, which is not a problem since everyone I know (on Verizon) gets much faster speeds when they use their phone to get on the internet. So I decided to get the 4GB data package, except the customer service rep online at Verizon's website told me that even while using my phone through my WiFi setup at home, any time spent on the internet will count against my data usage. This seems outrageous, but she assured me it was the case. I've been told this is not the case by most people, but one person I talked to did back up her statement. Can anyone give me the truth on this? If I use my phone at home to get online, but first connect to my wireless connection, does that still count against my data usage? That would mean I'd go over the 4GB limit by like halfway through the month lol. Thanks everyone.

    When you are on wifi the cellular data symbol should not be present on the information bar on the top of your phone. it should just show the wifi symbol. 
    Now a good thing to do is go into your phones settings and have it only update over wifi, the same for your apps. This way there are no surprises. Secondly turn "cellular data off" when at home to just use wifi. Ask yourself why would you pay verizon for data usage over your own wifi connection?
    Verizon since they went to the limited data structure has been banging people with high overage fees and its a huge money maker for them, you will never get any truthful answer from their customer no-support. One from another won't even give you the same screen read answers. pity I must say.  Just do the suggestions I made and you should be ok. Also turn off global roaming for data to only use verizons network. Personally T-Mobile has unlimited 4G LTE which has been clocked faster than all the carriers. But alas the service is not everywhere. You could have saved quite a bit of money with them.  Good Luck

  • Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

    Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

    Yes.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    You can figure out using it with another machine from that too
