IPhone Receiving BLANK SMSs. They are dated 1 Jan 1970/9.

I used to have the 2G iPhone and I often received blank SMS dated 1 Jan 1970 or 31 Dec 1969.
Of course, like anyone else would, I naturally assumed this was a long gone family member trying to reach me from the other side.
Time went on and I upgraded with a new sim and a 3G iPhone.
To cut a long story short, I still receive BLANK SMSs.
I see one other post on this topic but that guy seems to know that his SMSs come from a different network. I do not have that issue.
Strange though that as it is, I constantly receive these, at least one a week and have done now for over a year.
Anyone know why this might be?

I'll check with them, but like Ive said this has been across two sim cards and two different iphones. And no one else I know has had this problem.
I sthere anyway for me to add a screen shot in here to show everyone?

    No.
    Each Apple ID stores its own list of software purchases.

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • WHY is  it that when I download photos and videos from my iphone to my computer they are rotated?

    WHY is it that when I download photos & videos from my iphone to my computer, they are rotated?

    Because the picture/video viewer you're using is not clever enough to respect the orientation tag embedded in iPhone video and image files so it 'knows' which way up you were holding the phone when you shot the photo or video.
    Try a better image/video viewer or computer OS.

  • Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Yes and as long as you are signed into iCloud - you can even use that phone to iMessage
    The messages stay on there until you wipe / erase / restore your old phone

  • I have moved and changed ISP from Brighthouse to Verizon.   I am receiving my icloud emails, but the senders are receiving messages that they are undeliverable. I can't find the cause or solution to the problem.  Any thoughts?

    PS. I have deleted Roadrunner accounts, and reset new email account. 

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • Episodes do not auto-download even though I receive email confirmation they are ready.  'Check For Avail. Downloads' says all available are already downloaded.  Signed in properly on an authorized machine.

    Thank you for the reply.  These are not, however, past purchases; these are fresh episodes of purchased seasons.  For instance, I receive an email that a new episode of Elementary is ready for me to download.  When I check for available downloads, though, I am told there are none.  So these are not previous purchases that I am trying to re-view or download again.  These are fresh items for which I have paid but which I appear unable to access unless, perhaps, I were to re-purchase them.  Grrrrrr.

    Connect your device to iTunes and in the the window were all the apps are greyed out make sure the 'Sync Apps' checkbox (top left corner) is selected.

  • I recently deleted two albums off of my iphone via itunes but, they are still showing up on my phone, they are not albums that i have purchased through itunes, can someone help me figure out how to delete them please?

    I recently deleted two albums off of my phone using itunes, but when i went back onto my phone, they were still there and playable. they are not songs that I have purchased via itunes so can someone please help me figure out what is wrong so that i can fix the problem

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

    Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

    Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
    Should have stayed with Android!

  • Can I use my data from iPhone onto iPad if they are with different networks?

    Is it possible to use my iPhone data on my iPad if they are both with different networks? Thanks

    You don't have to be connected to the same network in order to transfer files – your devices automatically set up a direct wireless connection for AirDrop.

  • Does anyone know how to organize your songs on your iPhone by artist so they are chronilogicily(sp?) in order by Artist. I did it on my iPad but forgot how. : /

    Any help or ideas would help a lot. PLEASE HELP

    There is no way to remotely track any device that is turned off, or does not have an internet data connection.  In that case, no remote system can possible communicate with the device, nor the device send any information to any remote server.  Any device, not merely an iPhone, shares that same limitation.  Remote tracking is only possible if the device and the tracking system can talk to eachother.
    Apple does not offer any other feature because they are not a law enforcement agency.  They are bound by the same privacy laws that keep you from snooping in somebody's house just because you claim they have something of yours.
    Of course there are alternate ways to track a powered on and connected cell phone, but Apple has neither the legal nor the moral authority to do such things.  Just because something is technically possible does not mean that any big company and just go out and do them.
    Since when is it always "someone else's" fault and responsibility to deal with your lost or stolen private property?  I don't get this mentality of passing either the blame or the responsibility on to someone else.

  • 2 iphones different itunes but they are linking

    my daughter has an iphone with its own itunes and i habve my iphone also with its own account but they are linking her contacts to my phone how does this work

    Does iTunes reconize your bf phone as diff from yours ? Should be his name.. Does he have his own apple ID?
    He should have.. If those are both yes, then iTunes should reconize and seperate the two iPhone's. Also what operating system do u have? if it's windows u can use windows contacts and let your bf use yahoo so there is no confusion . Also it sounds like your contacts are in his iPhone back up and the same with yours....
    Let me know if my babbling helps u lol ...

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone or iPad after they are on my iCloud? How do I retrieve pics from iCloud?

    Can I delete pictures off my device once I have pics on my photo stream? How do I pull them from iCloud once they are deleted?
    Thanks!!!

    Yes.  To back up your photos, save them to your computer while they were in the camera roll, as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You will get an option to delete them from your device after they are imported.
    If you have photo stream photos that you need to back up, save them from your my photo stream album to your camera roll.  Then they can be imported too.
