My husband got a new phone number, however, every time he texts me it still says he's texting from his old number. I've even erased him as a contact and reprogrammed him. How do I correct this?
My husband got a new phone number, however, every time he texts me it says it's coming from his old phone number. I've even deleted him from my contacts and my hotmail contacts, resynced my hotmail contacts, then added my husband as a new contact. Both of his phones were iPhones but his previous carrier was Verizon and his new carrier is Viaero. I'm still on Verizon.
I've fixed my own problem.
In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for reading, if you did.

My husband and I share one computer. We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications. How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate. -

I had an App on MacBook Air which would cause my computer to be locked. I delted it and reinstalled the App again from the AppStore. Now I am being charged again for the same App. How can I correct this issue and get refund for the double billing?
You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to back up onto it. I haven't backed up my old one in over a year because there's not enough storage. How would I back up on iCloud to a Dell or Toshiba computer?
Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

On my iphone 5s, in "photos" when I touch to enlarge, random new photos are showing as old photos. For example, let's say I'm looking in an album at a photo of a dog I took today. If I touch to enlarge- that photo of a dog is suddenly a photo of a family member taken three years ago (on my old iphone 4). This is random and has happened to about a dozen photos. This has caused me to accidently delete new photos thinking they were old ones until I figured out this was some sort of glitch. The old photos that are posing as new photos aren't even on my laptop that I plug into - they've been on my external hard drive for awhile so I don't even know how they're linking! Any suggestions??
I've tried both ways. My Computer locates the device but doesn't see the old photos, only listing the new photos.
I no longer have the iphone3; I just transferred the photos from the 3 to the 4.
Was there a format change or file type change or did the transfer process create something different? I can still see and access the old photos if I go to that album on the phone. But that's the only place where I can see them or access them. -
I receive a message box asking if I would like to update Firefox. I click on yes and it goes to the download box with the long horizontal download bar with blue and white moving lines. That never changes...it simply stays with this box, the download bar never changes and it doesn't matter how long I wait for it to complete install it never occurs. The update box appears randomly in time, but it is quite often.
Hello emckenzie
If there is an issue with update or permissions '''the better, quickest and safest way''' is to download and install firefox:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down. Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?
Hello SharonLo
Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

My friend updated her iphone 4g with the iOS6 and lost all of her photos, contacts, messages, and music. She doesn't believe she had the icloud set up because after they restored her phone they asked for a new apple-id. Any suggestions on how to get all of her stuff back, she has a newborn and all of her pictures of him are gone!
I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.
