I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
Please help

Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
That is if your problem is described correctly.

Is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in ios7?, is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in ios7?

Is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in i0s7?

You can't add icons to Safari on iOS devices. You can set google as your default search engine for Safari via Settings > Safari > Search Engine - the URL field acts as both URL and search on iOS 7

Suddenly, Google isn't working on Safari, I have switched to Bing, but would like to know what happened?

Google has stopped working on Safari. Mysterious just grinds away with zero results. Have switched to Bing but would like to know what is going on.

This is an easy solution but it doesn't help all users For those who tried it without a success, please refer to the following thread for more suggestions:

Greetings naseem770,
It sounds as if you are having an intermittent issue with touchscreen response on your iPhone. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Google Images not working in Safari on Iphone

Since a while back the "images"-tab in google does'nt work on the iPhone in any of the browsers I've tried. I've searched the net to find others with the same problem but with little luck. Here's a description of the problem.
For example I search for "dog" in google in the Safari browser, this works just fine.
Then I press the "images"-tab and get a thumbnail view with pictures of dogs, of course.
But this is where it all goes wrong, when touching one of the images I get an enlarged view of an image next to it. The "back to the results" and "full image" buttons dim out (without being touchable) and swiping does not work. I don't know what has caused this to stop working properly, I know its not the new iOS version though.
HERE is a youtube video I prepared that explains the problem.
First, is there anyone else out there with this problem?
Second, this is what I've tried:
- Other iPhone web browser applications, for example "Mercury", "Opera Mini", "Skyfire" and none of them works except "Dolphin" (good work).
- Resetting any of the settings in the phone, clearing cache and such have no effect.
- Resetting the iPhone totally, factory settings. No effect.
- Using someone elses iPhone. I've tried on an iPhone 4 and iPhone 3S, same problems (with iOS 5.01).
- Trying out all of the settings in google, no change.
- Setting the google view to "classic" instead of "mobile" works of course, but that makes the site look just like on a PC or Mac and is not what I'm after.
Third, this problem seems to just affect Swedish users from what I can tell. There would be thousands of posts about this if everyone in the world was affected by it, but so far I've seen no posts on this matter. But after searching a while I found a swedish forum site on the subject. Link (in swedish). Also, when visiting google from Sweden some form of script automatically changes the url from .com to .se. I don't know if this has something to do with it?
Anyone know what causes this problem and how It might be resolved?
Best Regard
Stefan, Sweden

Hi Stefan,
First; this must be the most thorough error discription I have ever seen. Impressive.
Second; yep for a couple of weeks now I've been having exactly the same problems as you describe. One other thing that I've noticed, is that for me, the 'word suggestion drop down list' or whatever it's name is, no longer works. More specificly:
I open Safari in my iPhone, surf to Google image search and type for example "dog" in the search field. Below the field, I now get a list of suggested words or phrases that I think is based on the most popular searches. For me, the first suggestion in this list is "dogo argentino" (a specific and popular breed of dogs). When I tap on the words "dogo argentino", the search field normally would switch input from "dog" to "dogo argentino" AND starts the image search automatically. However, since the problem showed up, when I tap on "dogo argentino" the input field is not affected (still reads "dog") and I would have to type "dogo argentino" manually and hit "search".
I use a Swedish iPhone 4S (5.0.1 (9A406)) in the Telenor network. I also have tested the same possible solutions that you describe in your post, but with no luck.
All the best,
Ingo

Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) not working in 5.1

Cmd+Shift+L shortcut (shortcut for google search) is not working after I upgraded Safari to 5.1

Has anybody figured a way of restoring this?
Not broken here, still working fine as always. Have you tried repairing permissions or creating a new user account and seeing if the problem persists there? It's an issue with your install, as a guess. Working fine on all the Mac's around here with Safari 4.04

Google search not working

From about 5 days ago I noticed, that Google search (default in Safari) does not work or takes ages to display any results (up to 1 min). I tried to restart/empty cache but without any improvements.
For now I installed Glimps to be able to do any search using Yahoo. I do actually have problems to log in to Google.com as well.
Anyone experiencing similar issues?
Cheers, Mike

HI Mike,
Try maintenance..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
And go to ~/Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari folder. Move this file to the Trash. "Cache db"
Restart your Mac.

Google Search Results keep freezing Safari in iOS 8

I have an iPad Air that is only 30% full, and a good wifi connection. Ever since is updated to ios8 and subsequent updates, my Safari browser will often (but not always) freeze after a Google search. All of the Google search result links will be unresponsive, and will not even respond after I refresh the page. It will require me to close the tab, restart Safari and repeat the Google search. It has been happening for quite awhile. I can quit out of all apps, restart my iPad, close all other tabs in Safari, and still have the problem. Unlike another poster who had the same problem, I do not have any third-party blockers on my iPad, nor have I ever had them.
This his is only one of several glitches I have experienced with iOS 8.

If you didn't do a clean install of your system, you might want to try that. Here is a troubleshooting methodology I gave for another thread ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Google won't work in Safari but works in FireFox?!

For the past couple of days, after doing a few searches in the Google search bar, it suddenly stops working and I get the following error message instead of Google:
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.google.com”.
If I type in www.google.com in the address bar, I get the same thing.
I'm able to search Google in Firefox and visit the site no problem.
This is VERY strange. Any idea what it could be? I reset Safair (emptied cache, cookies, etc) and doesn't fix it.

Can you take your Mac somewhere else (next door neighbour using a different ISP, or to work or something) and use the internet connection there, and do you get a different/better result there?
It sounds like you've checked all the "obvious things", and are still getting sites not found or really slow to resolve (that is when the blue progress bar in Safari stops about where the first w in www in the address bar is before the page starts to appear).
If so, something you could try fairly quickly and which has brought relief to rather a lot of people with similar-sounding issues, is you could try changing the DNS server settings on your Mac to use a different provider. NB: I'm not sure what it is that makes the difference, but something seems to have been changed in OS X which makes the Mac work badly with some ISP's DNS services, even when a PC (or a Mac running an older OS X version) is still working just fine on the same network and using the same DNS. I use the DNS servers from www.opendns.com, which are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, but people have had good success with other providers too, I just can't remember the names or addresses offhand. Try specifying those in the network configuration on your Mac itself, or on your router if you want to change it for all machines on your network, and see if it suddenly fixes those issues for you.

Why does Google Search not work with FF14.0.1?

When I use Google Search, no matter what I type in, this is all that shows up:

If I use Google Images, the search results and suggestions will show up:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/emerald_typhoon/Example2.jpg
If I click on Search along the top to go back to search after using Images, the web results will be displayed. I'm not sure what's wrong, as it only does it with Fire Fox. I've checked with other browsers, and Google still works with them. Does anyone have any idea what could be doing this?

How to set google search language in latest Safari

There are various posts on how to set the default Google search language for the new unified search bar within Safari. But, those did not help me at all. I'm still having french as default language for Google in Safari. I set my language to english (as wanted) under the mentioned link (http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en) and saved those settings. I live in the german part of Switzerland (and not in France) and I connect to the internet over my nearby ISP. I even reset Safari completely but still each time I do a search in the unified search bar this google sh... shows up in french. Which I definetly do not want and speak.
Any help very much appreciated.

I finally figured it out.
I had to go to Google France (http://www.google.fr/preferences?hl=en) and set my language to English there. Hopefully I don't have to go to the Chinese page as well and set my language to English there as well. I guess I would be lost again.

Google Streetview not working in Safari 5.0.1

Has anyone else had problems with Google Streetview since upgrading to Safari 5.0.1? It's ridiculously slow and I end up spending ages just staring at that little multicoloured spinny thing. I used to be able to 'walk' around the streets, now it takes entire minutes just for one screen to load. I tried it in Firefox and it works fine (but I don't like or want to use Firefox!).

I can use Google street view on v10.5.8 Safari 5 also.
If you want to revert to Safari 4.0.5, go here for instructions.

You may have inadvertently "cleaned" out necessary system files.
How are you doing this cleaning?
