IMessages is being really screwy
I'm able to send 1 iMessage. After that I have to turn off and turn on my phone to receive any messages or to send any others. If I leave the phone on and try to close out of the app completely and then reopen it, all of my conversations are gone but once I turn off and turn back on, they're back. Any ideas on what the problem might be and how I can fix it? So far I've tried resetting network connections but that didn't do anything.
I just did a complete factory reset and it's still not working right.

If the iPod is working normally except for the Home button, depressing the Power button will turn it on.
Next connecting to charging source will turn it on.
If connected to a computer and iTunes sees it you can backup the iPod and restore another iOS device from that backup.

I'm probably being really dumb, but I can't work out how to remove music/vids etc from my ipod but retain them in my itunes library on my PC . I haven't got room for everything on my 8gb ipod touch. I just want to put stuff on there when I want to watch/listen to it. If it get's full I want to just take it off but put it back on at a later date. My ipod touch is new - I had an older generation ipod before and didn't have a problem with this. Is it because I have signed up to icloud or something? If so, how can I change it?
You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:

How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?
No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

I am being really stupid, but can't manage to do this...
I can't manage to change the page layout of my document - to switch betwen landscape and portrait pages. I've tried putting every break in it possible.
I know I am being really stupid, but I'm tearing my hair out (hence posting for the first time ever on a forum!)......any tips?!Every Mac comes with Preview .app in your Applications folder.
You open multiple pdfs in Preview :
+Menu > View > Sidebar > Show Sidebar > click on the thumbnail icon (little black squares) at the bottom of the sidebar+
You can drag the thumbnails of your individual or more pages from one .pdf sidebar to the other or to or from the desktop.
In Pages select an object, textbox, shape or table, by holding down the command key and clicking on the object edge.
You can drag the corner around by again holding the command key down whilst pointing near a corner. The cursor turns into a curved arrow, drag the object around.
Alternatively:

Safari being REALLY slow or sometimes "Cannot find server"! HELP!
Right, i have the new 'Safari 4' but its being really slow.
When trying to load up webpages, it sometimes takes AGES to load a page, or sometimes it even comes up with the message 'Safari cannot find the server'.
I have 'LittleSnitch' installed so I can see when Safari is using the internet to either upload or download information and most of the time, Safari is sat there doing nothing and not downloading any information...
I have reset Safari to no avail!
Why might this be happening?
Message was edited by: Ozzmystro'Safari cannot find the server'
Generally refers to a DNS problem.
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions. -
How to stop a recurring imessage from being accepted on my iphone
How do I stop a recurring, daily imessage from being accepted on my iphone 4?
Contact who ever is sending you the message and tell them to stop. With SMS messages, replying with STOP will often stop automated messages.

my imessages are being sent on multiple phones and i deleted the icloud account on the other phone but the messages still go through how do I stop this?
Do you think deleting the message off the phone would make a difference?If you don't enter an e-mail address, it just uses SMS and MMS. iMessages (sent over the data connection instead of using your SMS messaging plan) require an e-mail address registered on the device.
There is no requirement that you activate it. -

My iPad's autocorrect is being really wonky?
So, my autocorrect (for my iPad 4) is being really, really weird. I have some examples:
(What it should be - what it became)
I'm just complaining, anyway - I'm just complaining! anyway
What's wrong - What' strong
That's just - That' shuts
Where's my - Where' sky
Now, I've searched for similar issues, but there doesn't seem to be any.
The weirdest part: I did a keyboard dictionary reset, and it still does this.
I don't know how long this has been doing it, because I just turned on autocorrect a couple of weeks ago, and it' seen doing this.
Something tells me that this has to do with IOS 7, though.

How do I stop my text messages/iMessages from being sent to other devices on my account?
Ok. Ive just about had it with my parents/siblings being able to read every single text message I send/receive from their ipad or iphone. Is there anyway to disable this without having to lose all my music, apps, etc. by getting a new account? I understand the "grown up" thing to do would be to set up a new account, and just get off their freakin account, but it would just really suck to have to start all over. Ive never had this problem before until I got the new update. Help?
iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
Have the other iPhones with iMessage registered with your shared Apple ID register iMessage on their iPhone with their own Apple ID. -
Problem with iMessage contacts being separated by phone number and email
Hi all, sorry if this thread is a duplicate of another, I've seen some that are similar but none seem to match the exact situation I'm having.
Me and 3 other friends have a group iMessages thread where we talk to each other.
We each have several devices: ie. I have a Macbook Air and an iPhone 5S, one has a Macbook, an iPhone 4, and an iPad, etc etc. Essentially we all have a mix of devices which we can use to read the thread, all using the same Apple ID and with our phone number added.
The problem is, every so often and for no discernible reason, someone will send a message and it'll start a new thread: this usually happens on my iPhone but occasionally it happens on my Macbook. Sometimes, what has become 2 threads on my phone will be only one thread on my Macbook, and vice versa. Same applies to my friends. However, sometimes what has become 2 threads for them is still only one thread for someone else, as though some of us have gone "out of sync".
When you compare the contacts in the 2 threads, they are IDENTICAL (can't stress this enough, the contacts themselves have not been duplicated), however when I look at the same contact from one thread, their phone number will be highlighted in blue. In the other thread, their email address will be highlighted in blue.
Therefore the problem seems to be that devices are unable to bring together an iMessage sent from a contact's phone with one sent from their email. If the information for both email and phone number are correctly filled in for a contact, why can Messages/iMessage not realise it is the same person and bring them together?
The problem is, sometimes a message sent from the same device will first be sent from the phone number, then the next will be from the email address (or rather, everyone else's devices are seeing it that way, they're not doing anything different than usual, just typing in the thread and pressing send). Its as though the device is choosing one then the other, seemingly at random, and iMessage doesn't seem to be able to add them to the already existing thread but instead creates a new one as the "source' is different. Is this behaviour intended? Surely it can't be.
Is this something to do with the "You can be reached by iMessage at" setting in iOS. One of us needs to be reached by both his email and phone number so we can't just all turn off the email on our phones/iPads for example.
Is this a known problem? Is there something we can do about it? Is it ever going to be fixed?
We've tried other messaging programs but they're just not as well integrated as Messages, and obviously being able to switch between my phone and my Macbook is hugely convenient.
Any help would be much appreciated, we're now at the stage where we have 2 iMessage threads and a backup LINE group chat for when things are completely unfollowable due to every other message going to the duplicate thread.
Thanks in advance.When you go to Settings>Messages do you see your Apple ID at the top? Also, when you go to Settings>Messages>Receive At do you see both your email address and your phone number listed?

MacBook Pro being really slow and vert little free RAM.
Hi,
Just recently my MacBook Pro has been running really slowly when navigating between applications and tabs in safari. I checked to see how much RAM was free and it said only 30MB. I have no more apps open or things running than I normally do. This Mac is 6 months old but my old mac that was nearly 3 years old tended to run quicker, and as mentioned, I have no more apps running than I previously had. Maybe Word, Excel, iTunes and Safari. Can anyone help explain what might be making it slow and what might be hogging all the RAM?
Thanks
MattI ran the Etrereport and this is what i got back.

My mac has popped up with these alerts twice now, one saying 'Your apple ID is now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.' followed by 'Your phone number is now being used for iMessage and facetime on a new iPhone.' what should I do?
I haven't got a new iPhone obviously and my current one is already been signed in and always has been, i tried changing my Apple ID password but the alerts came up again.
I recently updated to the OS X Yosemite update and have been having some isues with my wifi since then so I'm not sure if this could be related. I also had my last iPhone stolen about half a year ago but used the Track my iPhone on my cloud to set it so if it did become online it would be wiped, but obviously i am quite concerned.
Thanks!After updating a while back, I got some false alerts myself but they were for devices I owned. In your case you might want to contact the Apple account security team and ask them their advice: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
