IMessage and IOS8 upgrade
how do I get IOS8 to switch back to my phone number as iMessage instead of email? In settings it shows my number but it is not available to be selected?
Hi Kokopelli30240,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you need to change the association between your phone number and your email address/Apple ID in Messages, you may find the following article helpful:

IMessage and Facetime issues after upgrading to iOS 8
My husband has a Mac-book pro, and I have an iPhone 5C and an iPad (with retina display). I just upgraded my phone and iPad to ios8. Before, my husband and I were able to send messages back and forth with iMessage and he was able to call me on Facetime and now we cannot. I did not accept the iCloud drive on the phone and iPad, but I think he may have on his end. He is currently out of town so i wasn't able to tell him not to when it popped up. We do use the same Apple ID for iTunes and the computer, iPad and iPhone, however for iMessage and Facetime he has his own Apple ID. Is there any way I can fix this so we can talk again with the iMessage? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS1. Log onto Outlook Web Access
2. Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3. Select "See All Options"
4. Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not. -
IOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications
Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.
Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.
Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.
Suggestions ?Ever since I got the 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4 I get the "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network conection and try again". I can access icloud stuff using my apple ID fine elsewhere. I received iMessages on my laptop through the Messages app but anyone else who uses Messages has their iMessage sent to my laptop and not to my phone. I used to get the messages both at the same time.
I've tried removed the locate iphone app, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone, reconnected to my wifi and synched with iTunes. Nothing has worked.
I'm getting ready to restore the phone now in hopes that doing that works. Never had a problem with updates till now and while this is annoying at least my data is intact! -

After upgrading to the latest ios my imessage and facetime apps do not function.....any one having similar difficulties?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
* Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access. -
IMessage and iPhoto Issues with Upgrade
Hi,
I've just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and then Mountain Lion. All thats gone fine, I've put more RAM in and the upgrades have all gone smoothly. However I'm having two difficulties that I just can't seem to work out where I'm going wrong.
Firstly I want to use the contacts on my iPhone 5 for my iMac to use iMessage. It's all set up, however not all my contacts have been synced from my iPhone, only certain ones? and some just say the mobile number on my iMac and not the contacts name?
Secondly, I had iPhoto etc on my iMac when I bought it with Leopard operating system, now I've upgraded I've lost this, how do I go about getting it back? I've tried to put the original disks that my iMac came with in but I can't seem to load just the software back on. I know with newer Macs you can now download through the app store, but I have a 2007 iMac so don't have iPhoto on my account.
I'd appreciate any advice on this as I can't seem to find anything online thats helped so far. Thanks!Hi,
If you use an iCloud Apple ID then the Contacts list should sync across all devices.
I would check the iPhone has the Name of the contact as well as the Number.
At first thought I would have suggested a Time Machine restore of the missing app.
However many Apple Apps can get their Updates when the OS is updated.
My iPhoto version is version 9.4.1
If you only have access to an much earlier version it may not work in Mountain Lion to then get updates for it.

I upgraded from the 4s to the 5s on Tuesday and requested my O2 number be carried over to my new EE contract. Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??
If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

IMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID after upgrading to Mountain Lion
iMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID in order to activate after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro.
My Apple ID works to sign in to the App store as well as on my iphone and iPad.
What do I need to do?This Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location. -

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.
It is becoming frustrating to try to get it activated .
I do not know how to get it activated when it keeps informing me that there is no net work connected
Could not sign in please check your network connection and try again.
For both iMessage and FaceTime .
Any radical solution that you have will be appreciated as it is becoming frustrating .First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
My sister and I have/had an iPhone this week she upgraded and went to an android. Now she cannot receive my text. I have put her phone number as a mobile device. Deleted previous iMessages and started a new thread she still cannot receive my text. Please tell me how this can be resolved
the fastest way is to call applecare and they can remove her number from iMessage/facetime.

Is anyone experiencing problems signing into imessage and FaceTime since upgrading iOS 6?
Since upgrading to iOS 6, is there anyone who have had problems signing into iMessage and face time? I need some assistance!
I think I've fixed it !!
not sure if this will work for everone but I noticed when you go on settings>messages>Send & Receive it was displaying my Apple ID twice and underneath where is says "You can be reached by iMessage at:" , it was displaying my email address twice as well, so I clicked on my Apple ID and signed out, restarted my ipod and signed back into iMessage in the settings and it just displayed my apple ID and email once. Next I restarted my router and my Ipod Touch 4g IOS 6 and it was working again !!! . Not sure if this will work for everyone but I just ****** around with it and it seems to be working for now anyway -
