Iphone 5 will not let me use iMessage
Hi, I just tried to activate the imessage with the iphone 5 but find when I try to use imessage it only lets me use message with the green bubble instead of imessage with the blue bubble.... I do not want to use data with other apple id users so what am I doing wrong....
settings>messages>imessage (on)>send as SMS (off)> send&receive (phone number)
Should I send and receive through email instead? or is there something else I am doing wrong? My phone is with verizon.... Thank you!
It finally just started working. I checked my settings again and restarted the phone and now seems to work. Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for the server to recognize an apple id/or phone number to use for imessage. So wait a few seconds and see if the blue bubble emerges or remians green. I probably cannot be much help in any other regard.

HT5622 Ipad 3 version 6.1.3 will not let me use iMessage or FaceTime!
"Sign in with you Apple ID..." I do and I get a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network conn. and try again" I can use the safari app on my ipad and browse the internet. I am able to use iMessage and FaceTime on my Iphone 4 so I'm kind of confused. I don't know how to solve this issue. I've already tried the DNS thing, time-zone thing, restore, reboot, you name it, I tried it. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? The last message I received or sent out was on Aug. 28, 2013.. I'm not sure when it stopped working but I noticed this problem last week. HELP pleaseeee!

Ipod 4 will not let me use imessages or facetime
I will sign in with my correct username and password, then it will go to the screen where it will let me choose the email address i want to use. I click both of the available ones, and click next. it will verify for a few seconds, then jump back to the sign in screen. No error messages, just goes back. I made sure that my date and time is correct and automatic, and I have changed the DNS. I have reverted my Ipod to previous back ups, and completely reset the device and its settings 5 times.

I have just received a new iphone 5s and need to set the Apple ID with my work email. I used my work email on my personal iphone 4s to set up an icloud account and it will not let me use this email as the Apple ID on my new iphone. As it is a work phone I need to use this email address as my Apple ID. How do I do this?
when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

just updated iphone, it will not let me start up without changing my id-- so I changed it to email address like it asked and it wont take it saying its already in use,,, yes it is, its mine!! help
That error message means that your email address is already associated with another Apple ID. It could be tied to GameCenter, iTunes Store, or another Apple ID.

The iPhone 5, the Wall Charger, and the Lightning Cable are all covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take all 3 to Apple so the problem can be sorted and resolved.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without entering 'your Gift Card or Download Code' which, of course, was thrown away months ago, when I first put the code in! Originally it was put into my computer, now I'm trying to redeem on my iPhone. Anybody have any ideas....I mean it IS my money! Thanks Ruthie
What you are saying does not make sense. You redeem a card once, that's it. It doesn't matter what device you are using, as long as it's using the same account, you will get the reminder of your store credits.
Could you give more details now? -
My Iphone 4 will not let me send an email or reply to an email. The message states that it has put my email in my outbox and that my server does not allow for relaying. Can anyone help with this? I have read some other answers and nothing has worked Thanks
Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings. -
when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents
Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox? -

My IPhone 5s will not let me access terms and conditions
Hello splitends,
It sounds like you are stuck at a screen asking you to accept the terms but the accept button is not there. I recommend restarting your phone, then try again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

IPhone 4s will not let me text to one phone number
My iPhone 4s will not let me text to my brother's phone number. It keeps giving the message "Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code." I have rebooted my phone; same problem. I checked the number; it is correct with area code and 7-digit number. I have no trouble texting anyone else in my contact list. The number is not blocked.
I'd head to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273
