IMessage detached from my phone number. How do I reattached as phone number to be the default?

When I send. Text message to another iPhone it is sent via my email address. How would I reattach my phone number to be the default to send and receive the texts? I recently did change my Apple ID password. When accessing settings app on my phone under iMessages there is a send & receive option, however I am unable to select the phone number to create as a default.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

From my phone to a friends the messages are mostly in a blue box but sometimes in green...why the difference between the same 2 phones?

From my phone to a friends the message box is usually blue, but sometimes green. Why the change between the same 2 phones?

If it's green, it either means that your imessage is turned off in the settings or imessage is turned off on your friend's settings
also, it will turn green instead of blue if you're not within good cellular data coverage and not in wifi

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I'm also having this problem.
In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Tracking number field in the Default settings for items section

I need to add the tracking number field in the Default settings for items section in the shopping cart creation transaction.
Could you please tell me inw hich structure should I add the custom field ?
thanks,
Rita.

Hi Atul,
I added the code of tracking number in in the html template saplbbp_mon_sc 1200 with reference to the code of purchase org field.
This added a field in the shopping cart report selection screen but without any description.
I will further learn html code and try to bring in the description and then try to handle this field in the badi bbp_mon_sc after_selection_screen and after_selection method.
Is this approach ok?

Deleting email from my phone ONLY, not off the server

I recently had a glitch logging/accessing my email on my iPhone, which I've resolved in the past by deleting and re-adding my email. Not sure if I skipped a step this time or if the step was no longer there, but now when I delete an email from my phone, it is deleted completely from the "server" as well which I do not want. I want to say in the past my email was set up as a "Pop" account? I no longer see this as an option when I set up my account, so I wonder if this difference is the issue? I tried the option in "Advanced Settings" to set "Delete Messages" to "Never" but it would instead mark then as read, and now for some reason, it's back to completely deleting... I would prefer them to totally untouched from the server, so I have the option to look at bigger or more important emails on the PC when I get home. Thank you in advance for any help offered!

If you recently added back your email account it was most likely set up as an IMAP account - renowned for the seamless sync across your device - yes I am being a little sarcastic there - at the technology not at you
The oft recommended way to "force" the email to be POP is to add your email address in there incorrectly - misspelling works fine - and then it asks whether you want a POP or IMAP account
Try that - delete the account - you will not lose your emails in there
Then re add and follow the steps I recommended and see if that solves your issue

How do I do to register Adobe acrobat as the default pdf-reader in Firefox

I musthave that when I need do download documents

When you download a PDF, Firefox should hand the question of how to open it off to the Android OS. If you are having a problem using Adobe when you access the download (either from Firefox's Downloads list, or the system Downloads folder, or the notifications on the top bar), you may need to clear the defaults from the application that is opening the PDF. This should give you back your choice the next time.

How do I make my new gmail email address the default when I click on "Contact us" in a site in Firefox? Thanks.

When I click on a website's "contact us" button while in Firefox, I get my old email address in my old email provider, which means that new emails in the old inbox have to be loaded first , taking a lot of time. I want to keep my old email provider for the time being as not everyone has my new addy and the old forwards to the new addy. I have Micresoft XP. How do I make my new address the default?
