IPhone to android but still use mac osx messages app?

Hi guys,
im new here and have been browsing and googling for an answer but couldn't find one.
I switched from an iPhone to an android galaxy s4 and from pc to mbp. I tried messaging
a friend using the desktop messages app but they received it from my email instead of phone number.
Is there any way to have them receive it from my phone number instead ? I'm currently using MightyText
(browser based) but would like a desktop integrated one.
Thanks for your help.

I don't see this as an issue with Android at all. If it was an Android issue then why would the messages still send as iMessages? And I'm not here to argue which phones better and blah blah blah because frankly, I don't care. I just want to be able to receive texts from pople with iPhones.

Switched to Android but still can't receive messages from iPhones.

When people with iPhones try to text me, it sends as an iMessage but says "message not delivered". I have done the following:
-Disabled iMessage on my iPhone 4S and Macbook
-Disabled my phone number from my apple id
-Unregistered my iphone from my apple id
-Had people delete their convos with me and start new ones using my phone number instead of my contact name
And peoples messages still (do not) send as iMessage. I'm lost. Apple's support was useless, they wanted to charge me $35 for support (I didn't). I'm super frustrated and I'm done with apple. But has anyone else had this exact problem and fixed it?

How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

HT2589 Can I make one without a credit card but still use it in the app store?

I need help on this. My parents won't let me use their credit cards or debit cards even if I say I will only download stuff that's free. Help!

I saw the article but it didn't help me because it will say "if you have a apple id already click here" and when i clicked on the link it brought me to the article that I asked the question on. And you need a credit card.

If my iPhone is missing, but still on somewhere with several apps running (including fb, myspace and hotmail), is there any way i can remotely find its location?, is there

I have no clue where it is, but I found out from Verizon that no calls have been made from it since I lost it. It is running Yelp, Myspace, Hotmail, Facebook, and a few other apps. Wish I had installed Find My iPhone or gMail... now I know.
I wish there was a way I could remotely download Find My iPhone to it now since it's on. Can't though, even with iCloud.
Is there any website that can help me find it? The Apple and Verizon Stores keep cross-recommending each other.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do without already having the app on your phone.
Having the "Find my iPhone" app on the phone wouldn't help locate it at all. The App is only for locating one iOS device from another. It does nothing to assist locating the device the app is installed on.
For a phone to be trackable, the MobileMe account has to be configured on the device, Location Services needs to be on, the phone needs power and a it needs a network connection.

Am i the only user to still have Mac OSX 10.4.11 using Safari 4.1.3 n 3

Am I the only one to still use Mac OSX 10.4.11 using Safari 4.1.3? if so does anyone else have problems with incompatibility using certain web sites?

Hi Brenda...
My iBookG4 is running v10.4.11 (knock on wood) with Safari 4.1.3 and it's not an incompatibility issue so much as the 4.1.3 is such an outdated version of Safari.
Most websites especially financial institutions require the newer versions of all browsers to for access.

Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
On your iPod, settings > iCloud, scroll down and delete the account.

Using Mac OSX 10.7.1: recently replaced our DSL modum & wireless router and suddently I can't get some web sites to load. Many do, but Twitter and others often do not. I've reset the browsing historty, forms, cookies and cache but it continues to happen.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Hi, I'm using MAC OSX 10.6.8 and have intermittent issues with receiving new emails - sending is OK. I've tried the workarounds (take offline & take online), quitting mail etc - no luck. Have cleared space, checked Window - Doctor and server has green light. Mail Activity shows 47 emails waiting to download, iPad and iPhone download them all OK - no extra big files stopping the download either. In the past, quitting mail has worked, but not today... Any suggestions?
