  • Sms text isn't working on my iPad air with ios 8.1

    I updated my
    iphone 6 plus, my iPad air
    and my apple TV today. Sms text isn't working
    on my iPad. ITunes match
    isnt working on my apple TV.
    And my WiFi is worse now
    when it was fine before. Any suggestions?  And how can I see what's in my iCloud for photos and videos and delete some stuff if I don't want it in my cloud anymore?

    You can try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here For more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Is it possible to make a phone call (not FaceTime) from my iPad if I'm using 3G and not Wi-Fi?

    I was tyring to send a text message or make a phone call from my iPad when I was on hotspot with my iPhone but it didnt work...
    I use this feature when I'm at home on Wi-Fi. I would like to know whether this is possible or not...
    Thanks in advance

    No, the feature works at home by going through your iPhone to make the call.
    There are Apps for the iPad which allow this: Skype, etc.

  • Hi, how is it  possible to send a text massage like " I'm in a meeting" while somebody is calling in to my iphone 4 ?

    Unless you send the SMS, there is no setting on an iPhone to do this automatically.

  • Possible to sending sms via mac mail?

    Is it possible to send a message to a group (from address book contacts) and choose whether it goes via SMS (to a cellphone) for some recipients or email to other recipients?

    In the USA, you can do so by addressing the email to {10digitPhoneNumber}@{cellCarrierDomainName}.
    Examples for this, for USA carriers, are given at http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/smsemail_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizonvirgin. I would imagine that the same sort of technique would work in AUS. The trick is finding out the carriers' domain names.
    You might try a google search using search terms "email domain cellphone text message {list of names of cellular providers in AUS}" or have somebody text message your email address then it will show up in the "From:" in the email that you receive.
    So to send to a group consisting of some cellular SMS addresses and regular email addresses, the group would just be defined accordingly, with the SMS-style email addresses. Just remember that there may be a restriction on the number of characters that can be received per message by the cell phone SMS recipients.

  • HT4623 My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message.

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • Is it possible to send a text to several contacts at the same time and not have their replies go to everyone on the list?  I have an iphone 4s and most of the people I am texting also have iPhones.  I do have group messaging turned off.

    Is it possible to send a text from the iphone 4s to several contacts and not have their replies go to everyone else on the original text?  I have group messaging turned off but this seems to do nothing. 

    Do this instead:
    Email everyone instead of texting and use BCC: which will hide all of the people's emails.

  • II've been looking for an app that allows me to send over 150 sms at a time. so far, all group apps that i've tried send the texts but not to all recepients. any ideas how to fix this?

  • Is it possible to send a text message using the UDP protocol?

    Support doc
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/multiuser/using_udp/using_udp02.html
    says to use the following format with connectToNetServer:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #smus,
    #localUDPPort: 1627,
    #localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
    But if I change the mode to #text, it still sends out
    messages as smus.
    In fact, if I leave out the UDP parameters altogether but
    still use the
    list parameters for connectToNetServer, it still always sends
    as smus.
    Sends as smus:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text,
    #localUDPPort: 1627,
    #localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
    Sends as smus:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text])
    Only the string parameter method can be made to send text
    messages.
    Sends as text:
    errCode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer("Bob",
    "MySecret",
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", 1626, "Tech Chat", 1)
    Am I missing something? Is this a known issue? Anyone have a
    work around?

    Drat!
    Thanks for the answer though.

  • I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

    I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

    I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
    Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
    For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.
