Imessage alerts on iphone when using on OS X

Hello. I do like having iMessage on my Mac or my iPad, but it's annoying when my other devices still chime when there's a new message. Isn't there a way that iMessage can notice which device that I'm on? If i set iMessage to Available (or similar) couldn't it just automatically stop causing alerts on my other devices?
Thanks

If you no longer desire to have the conversations carried over from your OSX machine to your iPhone, you can simply remove the email address from your 'Received at' setting in your iPhone's Message settings.
If you just don't want your phone buzzing everytime you receive a message, you can disable message push notifications.
Unfortunately, there is not a way for iMessage to send a message only to the active device. On the bright side, at least you can continue the conversation no matter what device you are on.

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV? If so, I'm afraid it's not possible. However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then. There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

IPad will no longer sync with iPhone when using iMessages

I'm not sure what happened but my iPad no longer syncing iMessages with my iPhone. All have been signed in with Apple ID, all have the same telephone number and email address selected. I'm at loss what to do. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue with my ipad 3 with retina display and my iphone 5 (both iOS 8.1.2). Text messages received on my iphone will be forwarded to my ipad, however imessages will not. Also, some contacts that i can Imessage on my iphone (blue contacts) show up as grey, red or green on my ipad and it wont allow me to imessage them anymore.
I have tired all of the apple support remedies to no avail, including a full reset of both devices. No luck yet. I hope someone can figure this out for both our sakes.

TS4268 How do I get facebook to say "posted from IPhone" when using my IPhone?

When posting anything on facebook from my Iphone 4s. it tags as "posted from Mobile" how can I get it to say posted from Iphone. and yes I downloaded the facebook app from the app store and when using the app it still says from posted from mobile. it would be nice to know that i spent alot of money for this phone, the least it can do is let my facebook friends know that i dont just have a mobile phone but an Iphone. Please HELP.

This has nothing to do with Apple or the iphone.
this is on the facebook developer, the posted from iphone was been removed a long time ago. It now say IOS or mobile.
If you don't like it I suggested you email the facebook app develper.

Missing features on iphone when using Hotmail

Have iphone 4s, using ios6 and all of a sudden the option to delete, move, forward and even write an email has disappeared from my hotmail account options? Used to have a square box with pen in top right hand corner (like on messages) and when you press Edit (which I still have the option too) I would have a red Delete tab or blue Move tab which no longer appear when I press edit? It seems the header and footer options on this software have changed? Anyone else have the same issues? Or is it just meeeeee..........????

Reset your iPhone.
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How can I disable iMessage notifications on iPhone while using Messages beta on Mac?

Hi all! I'm very excited about the new Messages app on my Mac, which allows iMessage between Macs and i devices! Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet! Thanks in advance!

You would have to turn it off on the phone. Read receipts as referenced above is not related to your question at all.
I don't find it to be too irritating, but I don't message frequenly enough for it to get all that annoying.

Strange Issues with Apple TV & Apple iPhone when using iPhoto?

Im not sure if this is the right forum but since iPhoto seems to be the only missing link to my problem - I hope someone can help me out.
First let me explain my situation in great detail so I dont steer anyone in the wrong direction.
Of course everything works perfect if you only use the internal Hard Drive in my iMac. In other words, using iPhoto to create albums and slideshows worked flawless. Apple TV & Apple iPhone synced what I needed perfectly.
I then decided to get a 500G External Hard Drive to hold all my pictures and music. Everything changed!!
I followed the instructions on Apple's Support Web Documents. It appears that everything has moved over nice and smooth. I say that because when I open the Macintosh HD (OEM Internal) there are no movies or photos to be found on that drive any more.
It also appears that iPhoto has no issues itself. In other words, it finds all my photos (on the external 500G drive) displays them perfectly. I can create albums and slide shows as well.
The problem comes from Apple TV and Apple iPhone NOT seeing any more photos or slide shows. I figured that I must have to "point" Apple TV & iPhone (which in reality is iTunes) to a "new" location since its all been moved from the OEM Internal HD.
Now in iTunes, in the "photos" tab, I choose a new folder (instead of iPhoto) and browse the the External 500G HD, select the "iPhoto Library" folder and then iTunes now can see all 2,281 photos!!
Problem is that I dont want to sync ALL my photos just some of the Albums I created. iTunes doesn't see ANY albums or slideshows.
Since I created those albums before I moved the library - I figured I might have to delete all the albums/slide shows and make new ones while the data is all on the External 500G HD.
No such luck. Its like any albums I now create work fine INSIDE iPhoto but Apple TV and iPhone just see ALL my photos and NOT any albums I create inside iPhoto.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
The file structure in the iPhoto Library folder is very confusing. I have a total of 2,281 photos. 1,028 of them are in a folder called "Data" & the other 1,028 photos are in a folder called "Original". Both folders have a bunch of years inside them with my photos scattered all over the place.
I dont see my "Albums" anywhere inside these folders.
Now if I create my own folder inside the "iPhoto Library" folder - iTunes and iPhone will pick up on that folder I created!!
In essence, I have to open up iPhoto - then drag photos to my "new folder" I created in order for iTunes to see them.
Im I on the right track here? I didnt have to do any of this when I just used my Internal OEM HD.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks for your help.
John

Do you have ignore ownership selected for the external drive like this.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My suggestion is, you download SP4 and then continue your development.

Cannot ePrint from iPhone when using wifi

I have a D110 HP printer. We have two iPhones. One works fine for ePrinting when sending e-mail by either wifi or 3G (this phone has yahoo mail account). The second phone works fine if we send e-mail using 3G, but not when we send it via wifi. The second phone has an e-mail account through our local roadrunner provider. By the way, that account does not seem to send outgoing e-mail using the roadrunner smtp server (for any outgoing e-mail -- eprinting and everything else). It looks like it uses our alternate outgoing server (AT&T).
We have told our printer to accept jobs from any e-mail address, but that does not solve the problem. The e-mails sent by iPhone #2 are not ejected, but do not show up on our ePrint account.
This is so frustrating. Any suggestions?

I found the answer to my own problem.
I just discovered the following:
AT&T “cwmx.com” and “smtp.mymmode.com” outgoing SMTP servers only work through the AT&T wireless network and not over WI-FI.
Who knew? Not me! Maybe I'll look elsewhere to see how I can send e-mail messages from my Roadrunner e-mail account from my 3Gs iPhone using Wi-Fi.
I just found a post another site where someone had the same problem. They described it this way:
My broadband cable company (Insight in Columbus OH) will not allow me to send email (smtp) outside their network. I currently have my iPhone set to use Yahoo for sending but I don't like the advertisement Yahoo puts at the bottom. Does AT&T offer a smtp server to send mail from the iPhone?
EDIT: PS I'm looking for a FREE smtp server........I already pay plenty for broadband service and cell phone service!

No artwork on iPhone when using iTunes match, some songs gone missing

Just started using iTunes Match, almost all of my artwork is missing, and randomly at that, it worked beore I started using iTunes Match, it also doesn't download when I play the songs. Some songs went missing "in the cloud" and are unable todownload although I can see them on my iPhone 4s and were uploaded from my PC without any errors. iTunes Match a waste of money? I paid for this because I thought all the artwork and songs were suppose to get uploaded to cloud then downloaded to selected devices :/

On the iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and make sure "use cellular data" is set to ON.

Playlists disappear on iPhone when using iCloud

Help! My playlists disappear when connected to iCloud. This just started about 2 days ago.
First the basics:
On the Mac:
iTunes 10.5.1 (42)
"Your software is up to date" according to Software Update
iCloud is ON
Music and playlists are still on the Mac
On the Phone:
iPhone 4GS 64 GB
iOS 5.0.1
"Your software is up to date" according to General > Software Update on the iPhone
Settings > Music > iTunes Match is ON
Settings > Music > Show All Music is ON
Settings > iCloud > Account is Logged IN
Playlists DO show up when connected VIA USB and in Music > More > Shared (only comes up when connected via USB) -- The playlists will sync to the phone when Shared > My Library is checked.
I haven't lost any music but this makes it impossible to use my iPhone for playing playlists in the car since once the device is disconnected from USB it is disconnected from Home Sharing and the playlists disappear.
I've tried deleting and readding the content to a playlist and that does not help. I have tried to create new playlists and they will not show up on the iPhone. I have synced the phone without the USB cable (over WiFi) and that copied some art files over but there was no change in the playlist.
Anyone have anything similar happen? Any other ideas? I tried a search and nothing relevant came up.
Thanks for any help!

I was able to fix my issue, for now, by
- Making sure the playlists were still in iTunes and set as I wanted
- Backing up the iPhone VIA USB to iTunes
- Doing a restore of the iPhone from the backup I just made in iTunes
However, now I have to go and grab "from the cloud" all the songs that were removed from the phone backup.
At least for now I am back up.

Problem - Alerts on iPhone when event/reminder is created in iCal

Preamble:
MBP 2011 (early) on latest update of Lion
Subscription to iCloud (recently updated from MobileMe)
iPhone4 iOS5
Here's the scenario:
I create an event or reminder in iCal (on MBP) and set the alert settings to 'message' or 'message with sound' and select an appropriate date and time. The 'calendar' is set to iCloud>Home (in order to ensure it syncs with iPhone). Date and time come along and, so long as the MBP is turned on, the alert pops up on the screen - no problem.
Go over to iPhone - no alert pops up at the appropriate time. Open Cal and/or Reminders and there the event is, event also appears in the Notification Centre.
Problem:
Why does the iPhone not alert me of events that are generated in this way? If I create the event on the iPhone itself then it does alert me with no problem.
Workaround:
Set the original event alert to email and you get an email on the iPhone alerting you - however this is a little clunky and not the slick workflow that one might expect from apple.
Question:
Is there a solution to this?
P.S. Apologies if this is a double post, I have hunted round for an answer and there are a few threads of this nature but none of them were quite on the money.

i also should've mentioned that my calendars don't show in Mobile Me either. The headings do but for some reason there are no entries visible.

Double alerts in Mail when using Exchange for gmail

I am using the Exchange type account in Mail for my gmail so that it plays nice with labels. But now when I get an email in the inbox Mail sees an identical copy in All Mail and I get two audio notifications. This was amusing at first, but the novelty has worn off. Is there a way to fix this without redoing the whole account setup? Thanks.

Hmm. Dunno. I have my Gmail set up as an Exchange account and don't have this problem. It's very well behaved. It shouldn't take but a minute or two to delete the account and set it up again. I don't know if that will solve the problem but I can't think of anything else. Sorry.

How much storage capacity is needed on iPhone when using Match?

In other words, can I buy the smallest iPhone and assume
that my entire Library will be at the ready (assuming Match
downloads the actual file when needed) OR must my iPhone
capacity be equal to my whole iTunes Library?

Yep, you can get a smaller phone and download files away from home.
