Moving from iPhone to Samsung - iMessage issues

Hi all
I recently moved from iPhone 5 to Samsung S4. I have removed my registered MPN on my profile but I am still unable to recieve SMS from certain contacts in my phone book (all iPhone users). I am unable to access my iPhone 5 to remove iMessage on that handset as the handset has now been traded in.
Can anyone give me any idea on what to do next as obviously I can't ask every iPhone user to switch their iMessage off?
Thanks

Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

I have completely deleted twice! Deleted from iCloud contacts and windows contacts! Nothing has changed! Thanks for your idea!

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Moving from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 without laptop

I'm moving from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 but don't have a laptop. How can I transfer my data? I need my photos, messages, contacts and apps to be transferred. Please help!

You can use iTunes or iCloud to move data from old iPhone 5 to new iPhone 6. If you want a fast way you can try FonePaw iOS Transfer. Here I show you how to transfer data from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6:
First of all, backup old iPhone:
-Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
-Tap Back Up Now.
-Wait until the backup finishes.
Then set up your new iPhone 6 (When the backup of your old iPhone is finished, turn on your new iPhone 6):
-Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
-Tap next.
-Enter your Apple ID and password.
-Choose the backup of your old iPhone and tap Restore.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

I just switched from iPhone to Samsung s4

I am not receiving any texts from iPhone users! What do I do? I tried to unregister my device but it is not showing up...

Have you un-synced , icloud, change iTunes PW, if you still have the old device turn off I message on device and in cloud also disable find my iPhone. That should help.

Problems Switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S4

I switched from an iPhone to a Samsung. Why do people with iPhones continue to have problems texting me. They tried deleting my iMessage streams and re-entered my phone as a mobile. They still get error messages. It's been a week since I got the Samsung.
By the way, I have deactivated my iphone number on the Apple ID website.
ITH

Unfortunately I have turned off iMessage from my iPhone and have called in to deregister. It's been almost 24 hours and it's still not working correctly. The HUGE issue is that I've basically been told "it will eventually start working". Well, I didnt pay you have the money and tell you I'd send the rest when it started working. You are a huge company dealing with another huge company. I PAID THE MONEY AND YOU TOOK IT BUT THE PHONE IS NOT WORKING THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO. If you cant make a device work, you should not be selling them with the assumption that you can use it when you pay right then. There are so many forums and threads about this problem but yet nobody mentioned it at the verizon store. I will not be a customer by this evening is this doesn't resolve. This is **** poor business and terrible communication about switching devices. The largest network is doing a great job of pushing me back to AT&T. Rediculous!!

IPhone and iPad iMessage issues...

I'm having a bit of an issue here and I assume it's on my end. Out of the blue, and only with particular contacts, a handful, when I message them my message goes through as an iMessage however they can only respond as a text. This happens on my iPhone and iPad. However, if I send using a default email to start the conversation, it works fine. So it's just with my phone number. Everyone else in my address book who has iMessage has absolutely no issues with this. I am at a loss. Myself and the people who this is happening to has turned off and on iMessage, restarted our devices, reset some settings, deleted the contact info and added new and nothing seems to work. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very appreciative of it.
Thank you.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.

Switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S4 and Fixing the Problem

Hopefully your search engine will send you to this message before all the other ones. Here is step by step what I did:
1. Went to Verizon Wireless to get new phone
2. Turned off iMessage on the old iPhone
3. Disassociated my old iPhone from my account online at this link: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
4. Removed my iPhone from the iTunes Store. (Go to iTunes-->iTunes store--->Account (left hand side)--->Manage Devices--->Remove the phone)
5. Called Apple (1-800-694-7466) and had them remove/disassociate my phone number from the old iPhone. They told me it would take up to 24 hours.
6. ON THE NEW PHONE, texted "Stop" to 48369 and received a message that I was unsubscribed and would no longer receive messages.
7. Texted my girlfriend to send me a test message and VOILA, it worked within minutes of talking with Apple.
I know its alot but I hope this helps everyone. The texting to 48369 from the Galaxy 4S idea was thanks to devondeal

Moving from iPhone 2g to 3g, what do I need to know?

Have 3g iPhone on way, got 2g at mo, what do I need to do?
Also is there any way of accessing "officelive" accounts with iPhone browser?

Explain. What do you mean? As long as you backup your 2G iPhone before plugging in your new 3G, you should be able to use the backup from the old phone for the new phone. As long as you make a backup and set up your new phone from it, you should be fine.
Plug in old phone, and it should do a backup by itself, which means all your stuff is saved. Then plug in new phone, and you should get an option to set it up as new phone, or to use your backup. Use your backup.
Hope this is what you meant. As to your second question, do you mean Windows Live?

Moving from iPhone 3GS OS 3.1.3 to iPhone 4

I am planning to upgrade phones (as above). I have a few questions please:
1. I have never updated my 3GS, mostly out of paranoia of losing everything but also because the laptop I originally had my iTunes on crashed. I have only ever purchased songs directly from my phone iTunes app. Am I able to install and use iTunes on a different computer and it still recognize my old phone?
2. How do I backup my old phone before transferring?
3. How do I transfer everything from my old phone to my new one without losing anything?

The first thing you need to do is install iTunes on your computer.
Once that's done, if you're on a PC, in iTunes click on Edit > Preferences > Devices > check where it says "prevent ipads, ipods, and iphones from syncing automatically'
-or-
If you're on a Mac, click iTunes > Preferences > Devices > check where it says that same message
Now, when you plug your 3gs into the computer, it won't sync until you tell it to and your data won't get erased
Next, plug in your phone to your computer. Right-click on the name of your device on the left-hand side of iTunes and select where it says 'transfer purchases from (your phone)'
Next, right-click on the name of your device again and select 'back up your device'
Now all your data is on your computer, even your itunes purchases.
You will probably need to authorize your computer at some point, but it will prompt you to do so if necessary
Now when you get your new iPhone 4 and you go through the set-up process, it will ask you if you want to set it up as a new phone or restore it from an iTunes backup (which you will select)
Then you're all set up!
In the future, please do yourself a favor and backup your phone often. That way you can update your iOS as often as Apple releases updates. They're very useful and often make your phone run faster, have longer battery life, and fix bugs

Moving # from iPhone 4 to 3GS?

My wife's iPhone 4 was stolen this past Friday and is temporarily borrowing an used 3GS from a friend. How would I go about transferring her cell number to the 3GS? Is it a simple matter of calling AT&T's activation number from the 3GS?

There's actually a SIM card already in the phone from the previous owner. Do I still need to go to a retail store to get it switched to her #?

Notes Moved From iPhone to iPad

I was trying to figure out how to sync up my note on my IPhone with the iPad. Last year when I first got the iPad I was able to sync my iPhone with the IPad. When I would write notes on the iPhone 3GS it would update the notes on the iPad whenever they were both in WiFi. At some point this changed and two days ago I went to sync the notes back up through the cloud I guess?
Everything that I could check notes on in the setting was checked and everything was fine. But when I went back into the iPhone settings to try to figure out what I checked to synced them up I ended up loseing all notes on the phone. All I had done was uncheck notes under my email accounts and they just disappeared! I tried rechecking it under the email accounts but they did not come back. They are all in the iPad so their not gone. But what happened? The Notes had not been checked under my email accounts to begin with on my phone. So I dont understand why after turning notes on in the iPad, turning notes back off under email accounts on the phone deleted them all? It won't even show me the Accounts tab in the notes app like it did when I had first turned notes on under email accounts. I have that option on the iPad but it disappeared on the phone after turning notes back off in the phone.
I'd like to get it back to the way things were where I could update notes in the iPad and iPhone at the same time. It made things so much easier...
A little bit of info, my iPhone has never been updated because of not having a proper computer. I've plugged the phone into computer when I first got it, added music and it hasn't been plugged into a computer since. The iPad is a used first gen iPad I got it completely reset with nothing on it from my mother. And the iPad also has never been plugged into the computer since I have owned it. So it not like I've updated anything and lost my notes. I just turned notes on under Cloud and everywhere else I could find to turn Notes on under in both the iPad and iPhone. Then when I went into the setting for iphone after the notes got onto the iPad, and turned off the notes under email accounts, they just up and disappeared from the iPhone and I am confuzzled =/
Every problem I've ever had I have been able to find answers too online, but I've yet to come across anyone who did exactly what I have done to loose all my notes on my iPhone but keep all notes on the iPad?

Something I just now remembered, I DO NOT have THE CLOUD on my iPhone because it has never been updated. Cloud is only on the iPad. Could that be why this happened?
