IMessage problem - Cannot get it to work

iMessage problem - I cannot get iMessage to sync. I have a iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both on iOS 5. everything else works fine. I cannot get the iMessage to sync. Both have the same @me id. if I try to add another email I get "iMessage Activation Unable to veryify email because it is already in use." Going crazy for 2 days any ideas?

I'm guessing, but the email address is used as a unique address, (it's easier with an iPhone as it has a phone number). This error could be saying that another iTunes userid has linked with that email address.  That is only possible if they verified it.
Do you have two AppleIDs / iTunes IDs in the house, but a family (shared) email address?
Simple solution then would be to create a new gmail email address and use that.

  • [Problem] Cannot get TS_EngineCommitGlobalsToDisk to work (TestStand 3.5)...

    I have CVI based DLL that displays a panel for operator entered values.  I then store these in a StationGlobal structure.  It seems that the actual ini file is not updated unless you complete the sequence.  If terminate it, it does not get the latest memory version of the StationGlobals.  I found the function TS_EngineCommitGlobalsToDisk and added the following function to my DLL which I then call after the panel has closed:
    void  CommitInformation (int promptOnSaveConflicts,
                             CAObjHandle seqContextCVI,
                             char *reportText,
                             short *errorOccurred,
                             long *errorCode,
                             char errorMsg [1024])
      int error = 0;
      ERRORINFO errorInfo;
      ErrMsg errMsg = {'\0'};
      tsErrChk (TS_EngineCommitGlobalsToDisk (seqContextCVI, &errorInfo, (VBOOL)promptOnSaveConflicts));
    Error:
      // If an error occurred, set the error flag to cause a run-time error in TestStand.
      if (errorInfo.wCode < 0)
        *errorOccurred = TRUE;
        *errorCode = errorInfo.wCode;
        sprintf (errorMsg,
                 "Source     : %s\n"
                 "Description: %s\n",
                 errorInfo.source,
                 errorInfo.description);
    Now when it runs "error" contains a massive negative number, but errorInfo does not contain any errors.  The StationGlobals are also not saved.  What am I doing wrong?

    It looks like your problem was that you were passing a SequenceContext to an Engine method. You have to pass a handle to the Engine. If you don't have an Engine handle handy, you can always get it from the context.
    In general, the name of a CVI function for a TestStand method  is TS_<interface name><method name>, though in some cases the it might be abbreviated. As an example of abbreviation, TS_PropertyGetValBoolean is a method on the PropertyObject interface, there is no Property interface.

    I cannot get facebook to work on my ipad, anyone else having this problem?

    Try a reset ( Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until Apple logo appears). Worked on my phone for other sounds like text and mail being extremely low. Might work for you and is quick and easy and you wont loose any of your data. Good luck!

  • Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. Gives network error. But all other devices work .

    I Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. It gives me a network error. But all my other devices work fine.

    Quite a few people have posted about having issues with Facetime and iMessages over the past few weeks. The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to address those issues and you could try updating your iPad. But the fix didn't work for everybody.
    IF you are getting the message about checking your network connection, start with these very basic troubleshooting steps.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty.  Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
    Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer.  Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

    I suspect security software or a firewall is your problem.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • I downloaded the TDS managed IP Hosted Assistant Toolbar 17.4.86.1 and I cannot get it to work on Firefox.

    I downloaded the TDS managed IP Hosted Assistant Toolbar 17.4.86.1 and I cannot get it to work on Firefox. It says it is fully compatible but I downloaded it like the instructions said and it will not show as a toolbar option for Firefox. Please help and I am trying to not use IE at work as we run XP. Thanks.

    I'm surprised companies still use XP. My old school already switched to 8.
    Actually, if you're experiencing problems with an addon/extension, you would better off asking the developer about it since Mozilla nor us volunteers have anything to do with the extension not working. I would suggest Safe Mode to see if that addon is being conflicted with by another addon but I don't want to give you wrong steps.
    If you want to try Safe Mode, feel free to:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

  • I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr. The 2 finger scroll is enabled & new drivers install

    I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr.  The 2 finger scroll is enabled but doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest drivers and still no vertical scrolling.  This could be a deal breaker. I have only had this laptop for 2 days and if I can't resolve this issue, the laptop is going back to the store.  Please help.

    Hi,
    First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54483.exe
    Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
    When this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.  You may have to check that Two Finger Scrolling is enabled in the device settings tab under Mouse.
    If this fails to correct the problem, I think I would agree with what you suggest yourself and simply return the notebook.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • Cannot get Outlook Connector work Communication Express style

    We are using Sun Messaging server with Communication Express, Outlook Connector, Imap Clients.
    And we have problems saving SENT items in one style. Both - IMAP clients and Communication Express works correctly - they saves sent items into folder named "SENT", but I cannot get Outlook Connector work the same way.
    I have installed outlook connector (Product Version: 7.3-05.01), and configured it to set system folder names "Communication Express style".
    I have set my local file:
    C:\DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector\sjoc_folders.map
    content to:
    [en]
    INBOX=Inbox
    Deleted Items=Trash
    Drafts=Drafts
    Sent Items=SentDoes this goes somewhere?
    But nothing helps - Outlook 2007 still uses its own SENT ITEMS folder iwth this name and saves sent items in this folder.

  • My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one.  i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone.  any suggestions would be appreciated.

    My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one.  i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone.  any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.  I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer. 
    it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used). 
    even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps.  however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
    If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps. 
    Thank you.

  • How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

    How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC.  On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC.  Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

    Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
    What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
    If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.
