IPhone to iTouch can't text
i have an iPhone 4 and we just bought an iTouch for my daughter. the advertisement material indicates we should be able to text or do facetime as long as there is a wifi connection. I can't figure out how to do it.
on the iTouch, when she tries to message, me she gets an error that i am not signed up for iMessage. from the iPhone, i can't see anyway to identify her. do i need another software to message her? the software that came with her iTouch looks like the same messaging software i use. i do know she was able to message her friend that has an iPhone.
What am i doing wrong?
With the iPhone, create a contact for the person with the iTouch. There will not be a phone number to enter like you normally do, but enter in the Apple ID for the iTouch user under the e-mail section of the contact.
When you go to message from iPhone to iTouch, just type in the contact name and it should message the iTouch via Apple ID.

I Had an iphone 4s with imessage activated, I switched to an android and now I can't recieve texts from iphones that have imessage turned on. What can i do?
iMessage works by linking your Apple ID with your phone number
When you send and receive messages to and from other iPhone users who’ve also got iMessage activated, they’re sent and delivered over the internet as iMessages rather than as SMS
Non-Apple phones can’t receive iMessages so if you no longer use an iPhone, you need to deactivate it. This lets iPhones know to send you messages via SMS instead
If you’ve got access to your iPhone
Ensure your phone is connected to the internet (3G or Wi-Fi) so that the changes will sync with your Apple ID.
Go into ‘Settings’.
Tap ‘Messages’.
For ‘iMessage’, move the slider to ‘Off’.
If you don’t have access to your iPhone
Go to supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
Log in with your Apple ID and password.
Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
Click ‘Unregister’.
You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again. -
IPhone and iTouch can't connect to iTunes after 10.1 update
My iphone (3G, running OS4) and ipod-touch can no longer connect to itunes after installing 10.1. The error message (for both) is: "Apple Mobile Device Service is not started." (Windows XP SP3)
Following the help file, I have stopped/started the service, no good. I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, no good. Can you help??If no change after any of the previous troubleshooting steps included with this link, focus on third-party software conflicts.

I am confused and a new user to apple products. We have slowly aquired, an ipod touch, for my daughter. Then I was gifted an iphone. I thought in order to be able to communicate via facetime, we would have different apple id's??? When I tried to change her apple id on her ipod touch, to her own, I think I really messed up, now I am unable to upload gift cards, and somehow it has switched back to my apple id? and not accepting my apple id password? My husband received an ipad, for Christmas, and he created his own apple id, which i am fine with, just having the problem with my daughters ipod touch not being able to upload the gift card, and also wondering if we need different apple id's and if that is my problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated:)Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

Can I text for free with another iphone if we're both roaming in the USA?
Two of us are going across the border into the US and each of us has the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Can we text each other for free or do we have to sign up for a roaming package?
Texting requires celluar. iMessage, which you could use since you both have iOS devices, COULD be free, if you were both on wifi, however if not, then you would need a data plan.

Can't Text or Call Out on iPhone 4S
Beginning five days ago, I started having issues with being unable to send text or call out. I have checked that iMessage is on, I have reset the phone several times, reset the network settings, turned cellular service off and back on, airplane mode on and off, bluetooth is off, wifi is off and do not disturb is off. I have roughly three bars for service. The phone periodically snaps out of it and allows texts to come through, allowing me to text and make calls, and suddenly it will not allow again. Is this a SIM card issue? Software/Firmware issue? I currently updated to 6.1 (10B142), but this issue was taking place two days before that and upgrading didn't solve the issue. How do I fix this issue? Is it a problem with the iPhone or a problem that Verizon can fix? Help!!
Still same issues I have tried all of these tips and it seems like I am getting worst results now my phone doesn't ring nor register any calls at all. As well as ,my text messages are not going through. I only been a customer for not even two months it seems like I may have made a mistake switching. Also when I am lucky enough to be able to send a call through the receipent says my phone is breaking up and they cannot hear me. So what is the resolution now...

I'm really sorry to hear about the problems encountered with your phone, CantrellDigital! I'll do all I can to help you find a solution. My best suggestion for resolving your concerns would be to complete a 'Restore' of your device. This will return your phone to it's original factory setting and hopefully resolve the problem you described. Select the link to follow the instructions: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=47616 Please let me know of this resolves your concerns.

Can only text one person at a time??
I can't believe Apple designed the iPhone so you can only text one person at a time. Major blunder on their part. I really hope they correct this with a software update very soon........
What does everyone else think?Hola RKpod,
Welcome to the forums!
This has been a feature that has had a lot of discussion here. For now, the only thing that we could do is request it via the proper channels:

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

How can I text photos from iPhone 6 to another smartphone
How can I text pictures from my iPhone 6 to another kind of smartphone (Android, etc).? I can text photos through iMessage to other iPhone users with no problem. In Settings, my iMessage, Send as SMS and MMS Messaging are all set to `On.'
Conversely, I don't seem to be able to receive photo texts from another person's non-Apple phone, although I'm told she can send to other iPhones with no problem.Do you have cellular data turned on? Do you have MMS enabled on your account through your carrier?
