That setting is only related to iMessage. It causes iMessages to be resent as SMS if iMessage fails.

My ipad has stopped connecting to wifi, a reset hasn't worked, what else can I try? (the wifi is fine as other apple products connect ok)
Have you tried a 'hard reset'. You do not lose any of your data on the iPad.
Here are the steps:
Press the Power Buton and the Home button simultaneously.
Continue to hold down both buttons until the iPad shuts off
Release the buttons when the Apple Logo appears.
Also, make sure your iPad is not in airplane mode. Settings, Airplane mode is the first option under settings,
Hope this helps. -
There was a way (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email in the "prevue pane" and it would highlite but not open. I could then either delete it or click again and it would open. With Mavericks that doesn't seem to be available making it impossible to delete an email in the prevue pane before I open it. Its frustrating to have to go through all the monkey motions when I know I want to delete it from the get-go. Does anyone know who to configure for that operation? I'm using an iMac.
Wow, have you ever seen 1 Billion in hard cash? If not, I assure you it exists as well.
Try not to pick apart what others write because you "have not seen it."
I run TWO programs for protection of my MAC now and have been for sometime b/c developers of them become complacid thinking MAC is impermeable.
My MAC locked me out of it and two externals and when I finally did get back into them Norton Anti-Virus found a "worm." When I asked the program to find the origin, it was traced back to an email, as you said, that I opened unintentionally. I still have two external HDs for backup and a cloud backup now.
When ClamX ran after Norton was finished, ClamX found what it called as "spyware," and it's origin was in my email also. I tried to delete the emails after the programs (both) identified the infected files, however once deleted and the computer is restarted, they were still there because I ran the scans again.
Now since we are no longer talking about how to turn on and off the view pane in apple mail; riddle me this, why can't the developers of these antivirus and antispyware/malware programs get together and develop ONE PRODUCT that catches 90-95% of the viruses/worms/spyware/malware ect that get onto MAC's? Is it because they are too busy thinking they don't exist?
I still run both programs and feel protected between the two. If Norton said it was a "worm" then I believe it was a worm and if ClamX called it "spyware" then I believe it is spyware.
I had to wipe my MAC and do a fresh install to get it working again, then I had to open one of those externals (which was very, very difficult) multiple times until finally it displayed the message "you can view, but not change the data." I exported as much as I could to my cloud and I had to format both of those too.
I still run both programs as I feel protected between the two. If Norton tells me it is a "worm" then I believe it is a "worm;" if ClamX tells me it is "spyware" then I believe it is "spyware." If it happens again, which my hope is that it won't, I will be more than happy to send the infected files to you!!
Try not to "forum rage." Support forums to post experiences and find answers, not nit-pick or claim not existance b/c you have not experienced it for yourself. -
Greetings,
I have a macbook pro purchased in 2009. I run the current Yosemite OS X on it, and have over 12, 000 iTunes music tunes stored on an external hard drive (Glyph 3TB). Recently iTunes does not load up on my computer. I've ran disk utility and repair, etc and it says everything is fine, however i can't seem to get iTunes to come up and play music. My questions:
what can i do to fix this?? Is my macbook pro too old that i need to seriously consider purchasing a new one?? If i purchase a new macbook pro, can i hook up the Glyph 3TB to the new one and have it play my music without problems/?
Thanks,
RichClick here and follow the instructions.

I don't have a phone plan, so I cannot text without wifi. I have been using iMessage to text my friends, until it stopped working. I can text my sisters email, but not my boyfriends iPhone. The send button will not turn blue. Help? Please?
There is a problem with iMessage with what Apple says is a small number of iPhones and they are working on a fix. In the meantime try this:
1. Settings > Messages > iMessage = Off
2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = Off
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
4. Wait for the iPhone to Reboot
5. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = On
6. Settings > Messages > iMessage = On
You may have to repeat the steps a couple of times.

I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?
No...see the link I posted:
If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID. -
The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

I Cannot receive email on my iPad. I have deleted the app and re added it. What else can I do?
Which app was that? Like Jim states, the built-in Mail app cannot be deleted, but if you have installed alternate means, such as the Gmail app, those are not deletion-protected.
If you can successfully log in via a web interface to your mail account (thereby confirming that login credentials are valid and working), have you tried setting up the equivalent mailbox in the default Mail app? I currently have 9 different mail accounts/mailboxes accessible via the Mail app on both the iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 (3 are Microsoft Office365, 5 are Google corporate and the last is my ages-old Apple account), all in perfect sync. -
I just bought a iphone 5c and when I tried to use my computer to download the syncd version of my phone I found out I needed the latest version of the IOS. I tried downloading the latest version and it won't let me do it unless I upgrade. What else can I do? I don't want to buy a new computer....
If you want to synch your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you will need to meet the minimum requirements. If this requires you to upgrade your computer then you will need to do so. System requirements for the iPhone 5c are clearly posted on Apple's website and this should have been considered before you bought your phone. There's no way around the system requirements.

I tried to download a free app. It came up with an error message saying it was too big to download and that I need to connect to WiFi. The icon is still displayed and I can't delete it (I've decided I don't want it. Can anyone tell me how to delete it - there's no x displayed on the icon. Thanks
Hi stripers
You will either a) need to connect to WiFi and complete the download or b) dock your iPad and remove it from the apps list once synced (your iTunes will more then likely want to complete the download first also, which you may be able to cancel in the downloads section).
Regards
Damon -
My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. It says that I need to have it plugged in to wifi. I can't connect to wifi because it's frozen. What should I do?
If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have an iphone 4s with ios 7. imessage between iphones works fine. When I try to message an android phone with an attachment (picture) it wont deliver and the party cannot send a picture to me. Thw only way it will work with android is if I turn data on. A simple message will work with Wifi, with no attachments
This does not seem right. You should be able to send attachments to android party on Wifi???MMS requires cellular data. Sending pictures through iMessage can be done either using cellular data or WiFi. You're phone is working as designed.

''locking - please continue in your original support thread - here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835625''
I sent you a question yesterday and you sent me an email saying you couldn't activate my account because I either didn't click on the right link or enter the correct address. I have done both of these correctly but nothing changes. What can I do to get my original question answered - talk to someone?When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -
