IMessage on iPad and Mac not working since 9/9/14

Hello!
All of a sudden, iMessage stopped working since 9/9/14. So here is the weird thing. It is working on my iPhone 5S, BUT I cannot send any iMessages to my mother in Austria. The weird thing is, my mother still can send iMessages to other friends, just not to me, not even on my iPhone. The other weird thing is, i cannot send any iMessages anymore on my Mac or iPad. It says on my Mac that ".... XXXXXX is not registered with iMessage", while I can send an iMessage from my iPhone 5S without any problems to that number.
So I tried EVERY trick in the book: Restart, logging out everywhere, Cmd+alt+p+r reset, resetting Mac, resetting iPhone and iPad, nothing worked (so please do not tell me anything with logging out and back in, resetting etc., I appreciate any help, but I already did this in any possible combination).
Clearly, there is something wrong with the iMessage servers. What else can I do?

Messages app on MacBook will receive but not send

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Ipad and mac not syncing with icloud

I am unable to sync my photos and contacts from my ipad with my Mac through icloud. The ipad and mac both have the latest update.

For icloud email on your device, you must have icloud turned on, but also have the Mail app set up to connect to icloud. In Settings>Mail, Contacts,... look in the Mail section under Accounts. You must set up your icloud email account there in order to use the Mail app to read and send emails.

ITunes download plays on iPad and Mac, not on iPod?

Music download plays on iPad and MacBook, not on iPod. Skips out, or skips to next song.

Assuming the songs play fine in yor iTunes library
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

ICloud syncing Documents on Mac, Ipad, and iPhone Not working

Hi all!,
Can someone help me understand something. I'm working on a page document and it synced to icloud fine. I can see the document on Ipad and iphone BUT i can't figure out how to see it on my Macbook Pro. Can someone give me some ideas what i need to do so i can take all that mobile working on to my desktop ?
Anyone that knows how to do this step by step would be a great help.

Make sure Documents & Data is turned ON.
The problem is that there is not a single application that makes use of this on a Mac. Not even iWork09 v9.1 where everybody thought it would sync to the cloud and to iOS5 - it does not.
Iwork Users need to open Safari, go to www.icloud.com, into the iwork section there in the browser and drag and drop the files from Mac to the cloud this way to have the documents in the cloud and have them available onto their iOS5 , too.
No way around that clumsy solution.
"documents and data" is currently limited to iWork for iOS only. ( Sketchbook Pro for iOS and a handful of mini apps start using it too, on iOS that is all - not on Mac ) .

Authentication and Debugging not working -- since Saturday, July 12

Hi everyone,
Since Saturday (July 12), the iTunes U launcher that my institution uses (a Moodle block) has ceased successfully authenticating users. From all the looking I've done, nothing has changed from our side, although I am having to do the investigation remotely, and can only be about 95% certain of that so far.
I'm also not able to use the debug string to see what credentials are being sent to iTunes U, because there appears to be no difference in the launcher process, whether debugging is enabled or not.
Is anyone aware of any changes or glitches in the system in the last few days? Any information at all will be very greatly appreciated.
-JR

Woolamaloo lives to help with such problems. Woolamaloo is an application specifically designed to access your iTunes U site without any CGI, BlackBoard or Moodle building blocks, etc. It accesses your site directly ... using any credential you supply. In effect, you can use it to "be" any user at your site. It can even show you Apple's debug webpage (if you want to see it). You can use Woolamaloo to verify that your site is not working ... or that it is and you have a local problem. You can find out and download the app here:
http://itunes.uic.edu/Woolamaloo.html
It comes in both a Windows and Mac OS version (though I admit to having a Mac OS X bias).

Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

I don't understand the ITunes. I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display. When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize. I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device. Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

IPad and iPhone not working with a monitor

I tried to get my iPad and iPhone to play Netflix on a Acer 20inch monitor. It started to work than stopped. I got a message that the display connected display is not sponsored. It there a download that is available to have my monitor display video.
I have them connected with a VGA connector. I functions for a bit then I get the non support message.

Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

IPad and iCloud not working

I have an iPhone 5 and everything is setup fine, I changed my Apple ID and password and updated everything on my iPhone and iPad, however... When I try and go to the iCloud on my iPad to sync my iPhone and iPad together it asks for my old ID and Password and will not accept the old information. I also do not have an option to click on anything in the iClouds settings page, it says I need to Accept Terms and Conditions BUT I can't get into the Terms and Condition because it keeps asking for my Old ID and Password which no longer work. I also tried resetting all my data but again it asks for my old ID and password and I'm not able to make any changes. I updated the ID and PW online and everything went through except the iCloud on my iPad. can anyone help, I just want my iPad to match my iPhone and I want the old ID to go away. Thank you.

Did you try deleteing the iCloud account on the iPad? You will still need to use the old ID and password in order to delete the account.
Read the section in here about iCloud.

Ipad and Mifi not working well together.

I have a consistent problem keeping my ipad connected on a Verizon Mifi setup. This is the second Mifi I've tried and same problem. Ipad connects and network connection works but will randomly drop. It will reconnect again to the Mifi and again randomly drop. Ipad and Mifi are always close so it's not a coverage problem. Ipad has latest OS. Frequently while connected I have a very long wait for pages to load.
Any thoughts? I'm ready to can this thing. Bty, iphone works flawlessly with the same Mifi.

I cannot print wirelessly to an Epson 810 from a MacBook Pro (2010). Stopped working with version 4 and has not worked since. Prints fine to Safari, Chrome, and all other programs. Resetting didn't help.

Prints fine with other browsers and programs. Works with my wife's MacBook Pro.

Took it to Apple Genius, they told me it was my memory (incompatible)
Believe the first one. No one RAM test will reliably indicate RAM is bad. Once indicated, it has to be replaced.
You have to get RAM made for the mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro. Just because it says it 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory does not mean it is compatible with your Mac. You have to buy RAM for Macs with lifetime warranty, that is not ValueRAM, and says the model and its time frame within the year that it was released, and its model number when buying RAM. Both http://www.macsales.com/ (OWC) and http://www.crucial.com/ sell RAM in that means of attributing what kind of RAM it is.
I ran an internet-based free diagnostic tool and it showed that my hard drive did have bad parts (corrupted? possible to fix or not?) and it was acting irregularly...
What tool? Some are known to damage software components of drives. Especially any that address system cache.
