My iMessage somehow was turned off and it will not let me turn it on.

Every time I move the button to turn iMessage on it turns right back off on its own and says that I need to turn cellular data on or connect to wifi to activate iMessage. Thing is I have done both and my iMessage has been activated for like a month. What else can I try????

Hey KristinaRTR,
Thanks for the question. Let’s first try restarting your device:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    I cannot find a contact for support to have my email changed and a new password registered

    ITunes will not let me purchase. It does not recognize my ID and Password

  • My ipod froze then turned off and now will not turn back on

    my ipod was fully charged and was working perfectly.
    i locked it and when i tried to unlock it my touch screen wouldnt work.
    i tried reseting it by pressing the home button and the power button.
    it started to reboot then froze on the apple logo screen.
    after waiting for twenty minutes or so i tried reseting it again while it was still on the apple logo screen,
    then it turned off and now will not turn back on.
    i have tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would by some miracle turn back on but i have been unsuccessful
    my ipod is my life, if anyone can help me fix it i would greatly appriciate it!!!!!!!!

  • My computer was dropped yesterday and it will not turn on past this gray screen that tells me to reboot it but everytime I reboot it, it just goes back to that same screen and tells me to do it again. Anyone know how to fix this?

    When you jar or drop a hard drive when it's operating the heads strike the platters and ruin sectors and the data on them.
    Your getting the spinning wheel because the OS has been damaged and/or quite possibly the drive.
    You'll first have to determine if it's a hardware issue
    Do #3 Hardware Test and #5 Disk Utlity Repair Disk/Permissions here (check the SMART status)
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the drive is fine and you don't have a recent copy of your data off the machine then also do this
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Then proceed with fixing the damaged software, likley by #8 your problem will be fixed.

  • My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on.

    My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on. I was listening to music, it started to make a static sound then shut off and will not turn back on. What do I do?

    Battery dead?
    Plug it into the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it plugged in for 20 minutes. Then while still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

    my i pod touch was fully discharged and now will not charge at all. what can i do

    Try the not charging topic of:

    Also try another cable, another charging source. Further look at the dock connector in the iPod. Look for abnormalities like foreign material, bend or corroded contacts, broken or cracked plastic.

  • My old username keeps showing up and it will not let me recover the old password

    My old username keeps poping up the the cloid and it will not let me enter or give me the old passord even though some settings are working propely itunes ect..

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    If this is happening on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.

  • I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says  photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.

    You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
    As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it?
