My iMac recently went through an update and now my imessages won't go through. I also am having trouble finding imessage on my preferences. Also, the code did not pop up on my iMac for me to input on my iphone 6plus
On preferences on my iMac, there is no option for messages, when I go into messages on my iphone 6 plus it asks for a code but that code doesn't pop up on my computer. My iCloud is connected, wifi is connected and even my facetime is working, just not my imessage and it's really annoying. Can someone please help me?
I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

Hi, I have recently done some online updates and now I have to restart my mac each time for the stupid thing to recognise my internet settings. Any help gratefully accepted.
Please be specific about the updates.
Were they Apple updates from Software Update or were they downloaded updates, including 3rd party updates from a website (Including Apple's)? -
My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade. I have never had problems with iTunes in the past. Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?It's a real message.
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
I bought the card at my school book store today and the code is not activating. Paid almost $250 for this I need this to activate. It is for Adobe Creative Cloud 12- month prepaid membership. The card says it is windows and mac compatible and I am using Windows. It is Student and Teacher Edition and I am a student. I also have light room 5 which was purchased the same way and it works.
Hi johnashton07,
We have noticed that some of our customer's tends to miss-type the code as there is a bit of confusion around the font of the redemption code.
Common miss-type issues found are mentioned below.
Zero(0) - letter "O" as in Oscar.
Five (5) - Letter "S" as in Sam.
Two (2) - Letter "Z" as in Zolo.
Kindly try replacing these characters and please revert to the PM.
Thanks,

Each time I attempt to download the new itunes 10.5 I keep getting the following error message:
Product: Apple Software Update -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action SoftwareUpdate_UnregServer, location: C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe, command: /UnregServer
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Any Ideas of how to solve this one?After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -
I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.' Where exactly is it located? Here is the link which gives the instructions but doesn't seem to say where the 'Modify Settings Button' is located: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12526?viewlocale=en_US
You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Got latest update in Sim's Free Play and now my game won't even open! Please Help !! tks
You might have better luck go to the developer's website since it appears to be a problem with the app not with the iPod. Also, the developer would know about updates.

I have an iphone 5 and I just installed the latest ios update and now I can't open my email app and I can't receive calls. All of my apps have been updated. How can I fix this?
Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

Recently accepted an itunes update and now the program will not launch or open on my computer
I recently accepted an itunes update on my computer - now the application will not launch or open on my computer. any ideas or help?
A few details would help here. What kind of computer? What operating system is it running? What version of iTunes was running previously? Was there an error during installation? What actually happens when you try to launch iTunes now?
Let us know we will keep working with you.
Best of luck. -
When i got the update at first the music would play while my headphones were in. I restored my iphone and now it won't play at all. I have tried to go in the settings for itunes and app store but it also won't load.
Hi Jackson,
Since you have already done a restore of your iPhone, I would suggest that you now try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, set it up again and test before you restore your content. This article describes the process -

Note - It is important that you follow this stop:

I did a software update and cannot get my phone to turn off, on, or anything. It shows a gray apple and then an iTunes icon with a USB cable picture. I am not able to connect to my iTunes account because it's on my home computer (I'm traveling). It won't let me add my laptop because it says I have it tied to too many computers already and I can't deauthorize any of those computers because I don't know what they are, and I'm traveling. Can anyone help make my phone usable again? Preferably with contacts in tact.
Pleeeeease!A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well. -
Just did a software update and now my mac won't boot
On Monday I did my Apple update, and when I tried to reboot after the update I was greeted with a circle with a line through it. I still get the moving circle on the bottom, but it never boots.
I do not have my original install disc, but I was able to use another G4 install disc to repair disk permissions and repair the disc. After doing so, I still have the same issue.
Any ideas would be really helpful. ThanksSince Disk Utility can see your drive that is at least a good thing. I am just trying to establish where you stand on booting. Normally if you can boot but experience problems then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive, which obviously doesn't work in your case. Next is Safe mode which starts up pretty much normally but bypasses some things, and that too is not working. Single User Mode takes you to a text presentation boot stage.
Once one starts with the stronger medicine it is a good idea to back up your data files at least in case the things you do make the drive worse. Booting into TDM makes your computer act like a giant external hard drive and gives you the chance to copy off those files, assuming your friend has the room on her computer. Then you're more at liberty to experiment with different things to get your computer up and working again. If nothing works you always have the option of reinstalling OSX. You might consider an archive and install, or if you can copy your files off elsewhere just reformat the drive and do a clean install and rebuild everything.
It may be a case where you may have to buy a utility like Diskwarrior which does things like Disk Utility repair but much more. Or if Diskwarrior doesn't work and you do need your files you may have to let a program like Data Rescue II have a go at recovering the files (but will need an empty harddrive at least the size of the data on your computer).
At this stage you might also start looking at external bootable hard drives, both because it might come in handy now and also because you'll be able to backup your computer in the future in case of a repeat occurrence. -
