Seems I entered question in subject field? Here's the question:
iPhone 4S, the last two versions of IOS: I receive a text, in iMessage, reply, get error message instructing me to use valid 10 digit number. Only this person. I've deleted and re-entered her contact info - still cant send txt. What's up? ATT says they've never seen this. I have previously texted successfully with this person and she's changed nothing on her end.

The fix for this problem is easy and is set out here: http://edctips.blogspot.com/2014/09/fixing-iphone-texting-problem.html

  • My employer wants me to be able to add/delete and otherwise edit her Contacts in iCloud.  Can she grant me access to do that?

    My employer wants me to be able to add/delete and otherwise edit her Contacts in iCloud.  Can she grant me access to do that?

    Yes, but only by giving you her password which would give you access to the entire account.
    Her best bet would be to create a new, separate, iCloud account and place all her contacts on that. Both of you could sign into in in the Control Panel (or System Preferences/Settings on a Mac or iOS) > Mail, Contacts and Calendars so the data would appear alongside the main account. You could have your own separate iCloud account but only access to her contacts and not the rest of her data (and vice versa).

    Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
    wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

    I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
    I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

  • Ever since the last two updates of iOS 6 I have a blank email screen

    Ever since the last two updates I have a lank email screen. I've tried a warm reboot and a cold boot but with no results. I have nothing. Also the battery drains very quickly now. It used to last for two days quite easily and now it barely makes it thru the day and I've actually been using it less. In the time I've been composing this post, it's drained 6%. Additionally, there is considerable lag when using other functions such as photos. I have a 64GB iPad and no where near capacity so that shouldn't be an issue. We are, BTW, down 8% of battery function. Just so frustrating to have a wonderful piece of technology turn into crap.
    Prior to the last two updates, it was functioning normally. What's the fix? Please advise. And don't suggest a reboot or complete shutdown because I've tried that.
    I am using iPad 3 64GB
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers,
    Brita
    PS Down 10% battery capacity

    Backup your ipad and then restore it as a new iPad with iTunes on your computer. Check to see if battery use has returned to normal. If it has not then your pad may have a hardware problem. If so contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store.
    If it now functions normally after the restore as new then restore it from the backup you made previously and continue to monitor battery usage.

  • TS3274 Am getting an opaque strip across the bottom of screen for the last two days.....how can I get rid of this?

    Am getting an opaque strip about 1inch wide across bottom of home screen for the last two days.  How can I clear this please?

    Have you maybe removed all the apps from the dock? the dock is the strip that remains constant and shows the apps that you place there across all sprinboard pages.

  • I can send email but for the last two days I have not received any mail and I have had calls asking why I have not replied to messages. What can I do to correct this?

  • I have a problem installing the last two versions available from Itunes!

    I was installing the itunes upgrades (the most recent, and the second most recent), with all the new major changes in itunes. It was going well until both times, I incountered an error message. The first one says: Module P:\my music\iTunes\ITDetector.oxc failed to register. HRELUST -2147024894. Contact your support personnel.
    I tried to retry, but nothing happened. Then I ignored it, and another message came up saying the same thing, except: P:\My Music\iTunes\iTunesAdmin.dll, instead of the other address. "Ignoring" that, and I got the same, but this time: P:\.....\iPodUpdaterExt.dll. Then: ...\CDDBControlApple.dll, and finally a message saying: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes. --Reinstalling never worked for me-- I always would repair, and get the same messages.
    Finally, when I start up iTunes, I get a message saying: Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to be able to retrieve CD information from the internet, you need to reinstall iTunes.
    Otherwise, iTunes seems to run fine!

    okay. let's try working through the general advice from this document:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    but if no joy with that, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

    My computer crashed necessitating re-install of operating sys and all programs including iTunes. When I click on a song in my library I get an error message "can't find this song, want to search?" What gives? How can I listen to songs in my library on this computer now?

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
    I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
    What else can I do?

    I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
    Since when have you been seeing this error message?
    Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
    Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
    Thanks for your reply!
