IMessage set up problems

My husband has a new iPad Air. I am trying to get his messages set up but since the Apple ID is set up in my name he is receiving my messages not his. Any suggestions?

Change it to his email address in iMesssage settings.

I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

My celluar number is not appeared in " received At" in iMessage setting

My celluar number is not appeared in " received At" in iMessage setting although I correctly add this number in my App ID account.
I also try to switch off and on iMessage as the common recommendation but still didnt appeared , I switch off the whole device but still I can't.

You use your Apple ID email address for the "received at" (or another email address if you have another one) for messaging on the iPad. You do not use the phone number for the device.

My home button is working intermittantly. Have Restored setting. still problem. Any ideas?

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:
C:\> set NLS_LANG=.WE8PC850
C:\> sqlplus ...On Unix:
$ setenv NLS_LANG .WE8ISO8859P1 (or NLS_LANG=.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG)
$ sqlplus ...-- Sergiusz

An odd set of problems - full re-install fail

Hello helpful computer people
I have a funny set of problems which has culminated in me wanting to fully reinstall operating software. I will explain why I want to do this in a minute, but the main problem is that I can't manage to do it! When I boot up my mac from the startup disk I get a messed up display. The information is obviously all there on the screen, but it's displayed in weird jagged lines. This means that I can't make out where to click to continue with the installation. I also though that the disk drive was being particularly clunky sounding, but could be imagining that.
You can see what I mean here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33449131@N02/7160853520/in/photostream
The problems up to this point have been really odd, with applications one by one stopping responding and finder crashing. Also the computer will sometimes not go to sleep when closed and the fan will go a bit mad. I have had particular problems with browsers crashing and generally the computer grinding to a halt with nothing but the off button having any effect.
I have tried loads of stff - reseting P ram, repairing disks, running cleanups on Onyx, removing programmes etc.
I want to go back to square one because things are getting a bit messy, it won't let me reinstall Safari becuase it thinks it's already there, but It doesn't show up on search!
I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard but realised that didn't really do much and am now going down the route of putting the original install disk in. I bought there computer second hand btw, so there is a possibility that the install disks are wrong, although unlikely because the guy was trustworthy.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Can iMessage work without setting Apple ID? I set Apple ID in iTunes setting but I didnt set it in iMessage setting.

I am an IT administrator and I woul like to ask question about iMessage.
I didnt know iMessag function before giving iPhones to users and now I want to disable the function.
Here is the settings and condition of iMessage of iPhones.
1) iMessage is turned ON (default setting)
2) Apple ID is set in iTunes setting but it is not set in the iMessage setting.
3) Changing Account is not allowed by restriction setting. Thus users cannot add Apple ID to iMessage.
Is there any possibilities that iMessage is activated with the condition?
I would like to know if I have to change settings of all devices or not.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Anytime i go into "settings" it goes to where i am stuck in imessage set up-- how do i get out and to main menu in settings

Any time I go into "settings" it goes to where i am stuck in imessage set up-- how do i get back to main menu under settings?

Double tap Home button and delete Settings app in multitask-bar.
Do a reset:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

IMessage contact address problems

I am a little perplexed about how to set up iMessage correctly.
I have iMessage activated. My settings are that "I can be reached by iMessage" at my phone number and email. I "Start new conversations from" my email.
The first problem I have is when I talk to my girlfriend (she has an iPhone). I frequently have two different iMessage threads with her and it is very frustrating. In one thread, if I click on her Contact info it highlights her phone number. The other thread, it highlights her email. Its annoying to not keep everything in one unified thread. Is there anyway to do this? Is the problem on her end or my end?
Keeping the above problem in mind, I would also like to unify my iMessage with my iPad messaging. I get this to work sporatically, but I would like it if I could consistently see all my iMessage conversations in my iPad as if I were looking at my iPhone. My girlfriend also has an iPad (although she hasn't been using it for messaging) so I would like to be able to set up the same for her.
I just don't understand the need for separating iMessages into two threads depending on the address. It would seem to be easier for everyone if you just kept it unified based on the name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, did you ever fix this problem? I'm having the same issue.

Imessage signing up problem

hey so I have this problem when I try to sign in to imessage. I bought my ipod like two days ago and of course made an apple ID.
so I entered my apple ID and password and press sign in. I'm 100% sure that I typed it right. so it goes to next screen...
however, after like a second, it slices back to signing up screen. I tried this so many times and even changed my password.
It's so irritating! do you know how to fix it?

- Go to Settings>General>Time&Date and make sure it is set to Automatic
- Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

IMessage WiFi send problem/Fix

Thought I'd throw this out there...
For some reason, my iMessage would no longer send texts via WiFi (I'm overseas and have the cellular turned off here...).
The fix was to delete the "Receive At" email address I had originally set, and then add that email address back... (Settings>Messages>Receive At)...
Hopefully this helps someone with a similar problem...

IMessage and USB problems with MacBook Pro (Maverick)?

Since I updated my MacBook Pro (2011) to Maverick I have had problems with imessage not working. I also can't use my USB ports for my printer, card reader or external disk. USB ports work together with my iPad and iPhone. Does anybody out there have an idea about what I can do to fix these things? Many thanks in advance.

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. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
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?
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, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. 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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Remote not working. network set up problem

okay... The remote app is not working.
I have installed it on my phone and successfully made it work both on my computer and on the computer in the mac store. So i know the iphone is not the problem. The problem is I had to set up a temporary network on my computer. I want to get the current network configured correctly to work with the iphone remote app.
Here is what is happening:
i open up remote, choose my library, the code comes up for me to enter. but itunes does not find my iphone.
Both the phone and the comp are using a wi-fi network from my router. It is password protected, both have the password installed in them. When i check system prefs on both they are using the same network.
When i went into the apple store, it instantly recognized my iphone and was able to set up the remote there.
On my own computer I can set up a secondary network and it works there. To so that I went to the airport icon on the top right, the pull down menu has "create network" as an option. I created a new network and THAT network used the remote app. But when i restart the computer that network is deleted.
What is configured incorrectly in my main wi-fi network that is not allowing the remote the be recognized?
I know the questions are going to come up:
i have itunes 8
iphone firmware is updated.
both have been reinstalled.
in itunes i do have the "accept remote" button clicked. i tried resetting it but it said it could not remove remotes since none were recognized yet.
I think that covers all the info i have on the problem. I really appreciate everyone's help on here. thanks!
gjclimer is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message

I'm having this problem also and I'm in the process of reseting everything. I have tried turning iPod touch on/off, reinstalling the remote app and closing/opening iTunes.
Two things to check:
1. Go to View, Preferences, Sharing and make sure iTunes is set to share your library. Sometimes turning this on for the first time you connect the remote solves the problem and you can then turn it off again once it's working.
2. Make sure your wireless devices (everything connected to your wireless router) are on the same network as the computer you are trying to connect to. I have a main wired router going into my PC and use Airport Express as a wireless extender (basically plugging it into the router to beam the internet access out to wifi devices) and originally the main router put my PC on one network (172.x.x.x) whilst my wireless devices were on a different one (255.x.x.x), so the two devices couldn't see eachother. The way to solve this problem is to tell your wireless router to act as a 'bridge' under the wireless router's settings, which will extend the network of your wired router, rather than create a whole new one.
I'm not sure either of those will help but it's worth a go. I'll let you know if I solve the problem at my end and how I did it.

Using Calendar.set() method problem

Hi all,
First of all sorry to bother with such a trivial(?) matter but I cannot solve it by myself.
I have a piece of code which I simply want to handle the current date with the GregorianCalendar object so that the date would be set to the Calendar.SUNDAY (of the current week). Simple enough?
Code as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Foo
public static void main(String[] args)
     Foo foo = new Foo();
     Date newdate = foo.bar();
public Date bar()
     GregorianCalendar m_calendar = new GregorianCalendar(new Locale("fi","FI"));
     m_calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
     Date newDate = null;
     try
          m_calendar.setTime(new Date());
          System.out.println("Calendar='" + m_calendar.toString() + "'");
          m_calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          sdf.format(m_calendar.getTime(), sb, new FieldPosition(0));
          System.out.println("Date in format (" + sdf.toPattern()          + ") = '" + sb.toString() + "'");
     catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
     return m_calendar.getTime();
This should work at least accoring to my understanding of the SDK documentation as follows with
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.08'
Which is the sunday of this week. But as I run the same code with:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.06-020625-14:20)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1 1.3.1.06-JPSE_1.3.1.06_20020625 PA2.0, mixed mode)

Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.01'
Which is sunday of the previous week and incorrect in my opinion. The latter result is run on HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 and first on NT.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
Greets, Janne

Thanks for your answer!
The problem is that I have to work with this older SDK version. :) But I got it solved by using the roll method with the following syntax:
int delta = [dayToSet] - m_calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
in which the delta is of course the difference (negative or positive to the current day of the week)
and then using the roll call:
m_calendar.roll(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, delta);
which doesn't alter the current week. So this works if someone else has a similar problem with the version 1.3.1
