IMessage will now only use email on iPad

When I got my iPad mini I also had an iPhone 4. I was able to set up the iPad so that I could send and receive text messages (imessage) from my iPhone number with the iPad. I have since upgraded to an iPhone 5C and ever since I can only send and receive iMessages from my iPad with an email address not my mobile number.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Sign out of iMessage on both devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until the activation completes. Then, sign back into iMessage on your iPad using the same Apple ID.

Does facetime only use email on ipad mini?

If so, when I put in my email, it doesn't verify. I have cellular with the ipad. It has a phone number. Do I use that. How do I enter that? All I see is my iphone number and no way to change it.

I use my Apple ID email address and that should work for you as well, do you get an error message when trying to verify the email address?
Turn off FaceTime and sign out of your Apple ID. Restart your iPad, turn FaceTime on again, sign in and then see if you can verify the email address. Your Apple ID email address should be verified with no problems at all.

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome. I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending". When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED. Other docs ok.

After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED. In printing another document, no problem.
I tried highlighting the text and changing the font color to black - no luck.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?
Most likely whatever program you are using to print the forms is treating the text as a grapphic and the printer is making black by mixing cyan, magenta and yellow. If your text is priting as red it would indicate that you are likely low on cyan ink.

HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

HT201302 Hi People! please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other plac

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

I thought my pictures was safe in the iCloud, but I was not aware of the 30 days and the 1000 pictures, so I lost quite a lot of pictures... is there any possibilities to find them again? I have only used iphone and ipad.

Not through iCloud, but are they still on your iPad or iPhone? Open Photos, then go to the Albums and see if they are still in the main Camera Roll rather than My Photo Stream. If they are in there, it would be a good idea to sync the devices to a computer so you can store the photos.

You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
I don't really follow your next point.
instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

How do remove my phone number from imessage and only use email?

I do not have a data plan on my iphone so i cant use imesssage when not in wifi. so in order for me to be able to be apart of my friends group messages without having to turn imesssage on and off i need to only use my email address, but it will not let me send and recieve messages from only my email.

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

Deleted duplicated aliases in iCloud, now cannot use email account.

I have switched to iCloud from MobileMe.
I had 5 emails aliases with MobileMe. Also I was dotMac user before.
Mobile me gave us 5 email aliases before.
When I logged in iCloud.com to check my existing aliases, some of my aliases of email address were duplicated in the list. I deleted duplicated ones.
Now even it show in my aliases list, those ones I have delete the duplicated aliases I cannot use. If someone try to send me email, "the ricipient was rejected by server because the user unknown"
I cannot delete and create again because now only 3 aliases can have.
It still say the list I have those aliases but cannot use, what can I do?
I need those email address which very important.
I think duplicated ones were dot mac one with @mac.com and @me.com 2 together one of those 2 mail accounts line and me.com ones say only @me.com ones.
Because one from dotmac data and other from mobile me data, deleted those server think no longer there.
I am sure some guys did same as me.
Please Anyone could you help?
If I have to contact to Apple which number or email is best?
Thank you.

Oh, was that solved already?
What's the issue with Bing? If it's showing up on new tabs... Here's how you can change your new tab page:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
If problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

How to quickly switch between speech bubble and highlight text in pdf viewer in Maverics. Can now only use menu to change to speech bubble in Maverics (Tool Icon gone since Lion and no shortcut listed)

I use Preview to mark up student assignments, switching between the speech bubble and highlight markup tools. The speech bubble is not on the toolbar since Maverics upgrade. It also have no shortcut, which means navigating the menu every time since the Text shortcut, under which the speech bubble is now located does not remember the previously selected item and always reverts to plain text.
From a usability point of view, for me this is a massive step backward since the Lion version...
Or is there some hidden magic that will let me switch between these tools without having to navigate the menu everytime...

100% agreed with this. The new interface is far too bulky, Even on my gaming computer's massive 21inch monitor, it's nearly impossible to keep up with my chat group of 23+ people. I constantly have to scroll back up to read messages, making it furstrating and inconveniant. And now that the update is being forced on all of them, they're complaning of the same issues. Like said previously, these are full computers, Not bloody tablets or cell phones, but even then the new skype's even more useless on my Venue8 Pro tablet, I get to see a whole 3 messages at a time (And don't get me started on the Win8 Skype app). And what made it worse, MS has removed all previous versions of skype from the internet. THEN even when I managed to get my hands on an old version, I can only log it in once before it kicks me off and gives me a worthless error message, "Skype Can't Connect". (But seriously, what happened to giving us error codes guys? Advanced users like myself want to be able to fix the issue ourselves!) MS, I'm sorry but, you need to stop fixing things that are not broken. I'm wasing my time trying to correct this now, and I really don't apreciate that. What happened to quality control and testing?

HP Pavilion dv6-2190us Notebook PC Battery Won't Charge & Will Now Only Run on AC Power

OS: Win7 (64-bit)
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
First off, I will say that the main battery I am using is not an HP OEM battery, however, it has been verfied to work and charge correctly in another family member's dv6 notebook. Furthermore, I have access to an HP OEM battery, from a family member's dv6, with which I have confirmed the same issue. FYI: I replaced my OEM battery about a year ago with an aftermarket battery when my OEM battery stopped holding a charge. This happened after before my laptop was 2 years old.
So, here's a description of the problem. About a month ago, even though my laptop was plugged in to the AC adapter, the battery stopped charging. The laptop continued to work until the battery completely ran out of charge. Once that happened, the laptop shut down, DESPITE still being connected to the AC adapter. At this point, as long as the battery was installed in my laptop, with the AC adapter still connected, it would not power up. The only way I could get it to power up was to remove the battery. Then, it would boot up just fine, but of course, I was now tethered via the AC cord, turning my laptop into a "thin and light desktop". If I attempted to put the battery back while the computer was on, connected to the AC adapter, it would shut down IMMEDIATELY. I took the battery and plugged it into my family member's dv6, at which point it charged just fine and worked normally. I then took the charged battery and put it back into my laptop only to have the same sequence of events repeat, i.e. laptop ran off of the battery despite the AC adapter being plugged in until it ran out of charge...had to remove battery to get laptop to start back up. I have also confirmed the exact same behavior with the HP OEM battery out of my family member's dv6. So, in a nutshell, it would appear as though my laptop has lost the ability to charge batteries and cannot resolve the fact that the AC adapter is plugged in when a dead battery is installed.
It should be noted that despite the normal operation of my family member's dv6 with my battery and the normal operation of my laptop with just the AC adapter plugged in, I did verify (via a multimeter) that the voltage of the batteries were within normal operating range and that the voltage and current flow of the AC adapter was within normal operating range.
Is there a separate charging circuit inside the dv6 for charging the battery? Is it separate from the motherboard and possible to replace? I've done quite a bit of research on this issue (or very similar issues) and despite some suggestions RE: BIOS issues, I just can't see how that could be the culprit. Nor can I see how "re-calibrating" my battery would address this problem. Note: battery does register at 100% when charged in the other dv6 and put back into my dv6.
Ok, I hope that clearly explains the issue. Please let me know if I can provide any further details to help troubleshoot it.
Thanks,
Eric

Okay, so the type of battery you have is designed to last approximately 1 year (see link below) it has lots of links to other useful docs too.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00596784&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4121239&tmp...
HP & other companies do sell Long life batteries but they cost more.
We would ask you to put the unit in our unit and run Battery check which is inside HP Support Assistant, make sure you have the latest version, same for your BIOS Version.
You will see there are bunch of tips on how to make your battery last longer, but you really need to start doing them from the start, if your battery is already 1 year old there is a good chance it is low enough on it's capacity to require you buying a new one.
You should check out our site, they often have sales, and Batteries would be under accessories.
Check out other sites too, compare.
Good luck.
