IMessage will not deactivate please help because apple wont

I need to turn off iMessage for one of the phone numbers on my account. My email address is signed in the App Store on 2 phones but my phone number is on my phone and my dads number is on his phone. He is currently using an android phone and we are trying to get everyone else's phone to stop sending the messages as iMessage to him. I put his SIM card back in his old phone and turned iMessage off. Before I would do that I would go into that receive option and it would not give me the option to uncheck his phone number. I also signed into the website and it does not show his phone number on my account it only shows mine. What else can I do to get this to actually deactivate?

Hi Criesofthepast44,

iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

Try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

Hello,
I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
Any answer will be very much appreciated.
Thank You.

It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

My iPhone is stuck in DFU mode but it will not restore please help me!

What happened to my phone was I was having screen issues so i replaced it and it worked normally for about 5 minutes and then the screen went black. After the screen went black, it came back on with the "connect to itunes screen". Since then i've tried to restore it and no good has cone fron trying. Sometimes itunes will tell me that it can't be restored because of the build of the phone or itunes will give me a different error code. Itunes also will make it as far as the restore screen where itunes is saying waiting for iphone and the iphone screen is on with the white loading line under the apple but the line will not move no matter how long you give it time to load. I've tried pretty much all the techniques to reslove my issue. I've even used tiny umbrella, and redsnow to try and kick it out of recovery mode but that does is make the apple logo pop up and fade out until the screen is black and then pop up again. Can someone please help me?

Itunes Icon bounces, will not open PLEASE HELP!?

I have an Imac G4 running 10.4.11. I am/was using Itunes 7.6.4. About a month ago afer downloading and installing updates from the system updater, My Itunes stopped working. When I attempt to open the app either from the dock or from the applications folder, the Icon will bounce once, sometimes two or three times, then stop, and the App will never load. I tried repairing permissions, no response. I tried removing the "com.apple.itunes.plis" file from User>Library>Preferences because i saw it in a forum for a similar problem on this site, no response. I backed up my music, deleted itunes, and reinstalled, no response. I deleted the application, then attempted to install an older version of itunes 7.5, same result.
I dont know if it matters, but i have a Shuffle model A1204, and an Iphone. I am at a loss. I have all my discs that came with the computer, and I'm up for trying anything. Im at whits end. Please help.

You may have to reinstall the OS or even upgrade to Leopard. By the way, get a new mac if you want to upgrade.

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

Flash player will not install please help.

I am running IE and windows 8. flash works fine for chrome and any other web browser I use. The program I use for work speficially uses IE for maps and they will not load. I have unistalled and tried reinstalling, i tried to use it before when it was already installed on my computer, ive changed all the settings in internet options to what the help page says. When i try to reinstall at the get.adobe all i get is a the page with the adobe logo, but where it should have the doanload button and all the information it is just white... please help i need to get this solved before monday.

Flash Player for IE in WIndows 8 is modified and embedded in the browser by Microsoft. You cannot update it or reinstall it from here... ONLY through Windows Update. There's a Microsoft KB update installed that prevents any modification outside of Windows Update for the ActiveX plugin in WIndows 8 or 8.1.
Firefox, Opera and Safari use a standard Flash Player plugin. Chrome (like IE) has its own porprietary build (called "PepperFlash"), which is modified and embedded in the browser by Google. It functions independently of the Standard or ActiveX plugins.
The problem you're seeing ISN'T a Flash Player problem. It's a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released it. The pages (or in this case the app) can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
Adobe can't fix this because Internet Explorer 11 isn't their product and the problem is in the browser itself, not the plugin.

TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

My iTunes will not open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes. The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
Please Help!!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

Bootcamp update 3.1 and 3.2 will not install please help

I am running windows 7 32 bit on a silver mac book pro. it wants me to update my boot camp version from 3.0 to 3.1 but when i go to download it, it comes up with a progress box but then after a while it gives me an error basically stating that if this problem persists try just downloading it and installing it manually well i have done both ways even downloaded it form the apple website to which no avail. when i go to run the standalone updater it give me the error " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005) click OK to close the application" i have tried running it as an administrator, and using the compatibility mode tried it with xpsp2,3 and vista sp2,3.. please help me as i am not the only one having this problem in my department

I donno if this is much help, but here goes.
This was my problem: When I upgrade boot camp from 3.1 to 3.2 using the apple update software (online, and on my windows 7 64bit) It didn't upgrade. I did the restart and everything went smoothly, but it just didn't upgrade.
Then I went on to apple boot camp software site to download the software to upgrade manually, then It says I need to locate bootcamp64.msi or something close to that.. I couldn't locate it on my hard-drive... so failure there
Turns out that file is on the MacBook Pro Mac OS X install DVD, under boot camp - apple
direct the location there and click on the bootcamp64 thing, and it should work (If you have the same problem as me)

Iphone 3G will not update - please help

Dear all
I am having repeated problems updating the software on my iPhone 3G and have not been able to do so for almost a year.
I am using the latest version of iTunes and the software downloads fine. The problem occurs during the back up. iTunes tells me it will back up my apps, contacts etc and then the back up box pops up and the green progress line run through a few times. It then (extremely slowly) climbs to three green bars and then nothing happens.
I have had problems backing up before but I managed to make a back up last night with no problems. I then tried to update the software, left it for four hours and exactly the same thing happened. Today's attempt has been going for 30 mins and is only at one bar at the moment.
I have tried everything people have suggested on these discussion pages including using different cables, USB ports, deleting previous back ups, configuring my firewall (Norton) and turning it off altogether. The only thing I haven't tried is restoring the phone - I'm loathe to do so as I don't trust iTunes not to screw the whole thing up now.
Could this be a problem syncing my contacts? iTunes tells me it wants to do this but I don't recall setting anything up with Outlook to do this.
Can anyone help - I know this is a common problem, all you need to do is put "cannot up" in to Google and one of the most popular searches is "cannot update iPhone"!! There surely must be a solution, can anyone help before I go crazy?

Hi What could be happening is slow internet connection, obviously with every update your itunes connects to apple and open a communication to assess if your phone can upgrade... etc...
but if you have a slow connection that authorisation period my elapse meaning that the communication with apple is disconnected...
if you look online for IPSW files and find the one you want - there are a few sites out there that do this and more often than not they link direct from apple...
once this is downloaded open itunes then CTRL + click update, then go find the file you just downloaded, and this should allow you to upgrade...
This is the sam process I have used for Beta Software and on my mates 3G to get him on to the latest 4.1 as he was for ages stuck on 4.0...
