My phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

i have a iphone 5 and my phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

I just made a new account and i placed the account in my ipod but now its asking me submit a payment method which i do not want to place because i do not want to purchase any app that requires money. how can i use my account without giving a payment metho

now asks me to put in my payment method. i do not wish to place it in because i am not looking forward to purchase any app that needs to be paid for. How can i use my account but not give in my credit card data?

Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Why is my iMessage sent out as my email address not my phone number

All my iMessages are not sending out from my phone number, they are sending out as my registered email address, how can I fix that?

Go into Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and see what is checked there. Is your phone number checked? It will be grayed out and you cannot choose it from there, but if it isn't on, then you need to turn iMessage off for a minute or so and then turn it back on and see if it activates. You may also have to do this with FaceTime. If iMessage will not activate, then see this support document for troubleshooting iMessage activation. iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation

IMessage suddenly sending messages from email address rather than phone number

Recipients of my iMessages have reported that it has switched from being from my name/number to being from my email account. I have not changed any settings and the iphone 5 is up to date with all updates and has been restarted several times. I also went into iMessage settings and send&receive settings and tried a few things (including turning iMessage on and off, signing in and out of my account, etc), to no avail. Why is it suddenly doing this and how can it be corrected?

Hey Elfinator,
There are a few steps you can try to resolve this. First, turn iMessage off completely in Settings>Messages, and restart your device by fully powering it down, then power it back up. Once complete, turn iMessaging back on and see what happens. Again turn iMessage off, restart device, and turn iMessage back on. You'd be surprised what that can fix.
Also, if you have both your phone number AND the apple ID selected in send/receive in settings>messages, and you aren't connected to data at that moment, the iMessage from whoever is messaging you will be sent to the Apple ID only, hence why the conversation will begin using the email. This is something that is pretty common, and if you don't have a data plan, or if you turn your data off often, this will continue to happen.
Hopefully my first step will refresh the issue, resolving it!
Have a good day!

HT201320 it said it couldn't verify the account so I went on check mail and it said this address is already listed in the device I have been on it for about half an hour and still cant work out what to do, I even made a new account which didn't work HELP

I am so confused because no matter what I do thi stupid **** thing just doesn't work

I only said d a m n for goodness sake and any way this website is really glitchy

I made a new account and it asks me for my credit card info. but I don't have any and none isn't an option on iTunes. HELP!!!

I really need new apps but I can't because of this problem!

If you need to buy apps a credit card or other form of payment is required. As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted.

You need to "buy" a free app to do this.

My screen won't scroll, and apps won't open when touched, but will with double touch. When an icon is touched a black outline surrounds it. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped opening apps when icons were touched. Touching an icon puts a black box around it and it will only open with a double touch, then app will not scroll at all. Also, cannot switch sideways l between home screens. Tried resetting, resyncing, no help.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your answer! I wasn't able to fix my phone for days and my cell phone company's store didn't even know how to fix it. Thank you so much! BTW your answer made my phone work again!!!

Website won't open on firefox but will with internet explorer

Firefox tells me that the Foxnews website page can't be found.
I can open it in with internet explorer.
Is this a political thing because it just started a few days ago and doesn't affect any other site?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

I'm having a very similar problem.
I'm based in the U.K. and am trying to publish an iBook through the iTunes bookstore. I have made my book in iBooks author 2.0. My iTunes is up to date.
When I try and publish the iBook I have passed and ticked the Pre Publish Check; and the Create Account, but when I try and download iTunes Producer through iTunes Connect I'm told "Your Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Content."
When I try and re-set my iTunes Store account I'm told "The iTunes Store Account has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore." Of course it has I just did that.
If I try and sign in to iTunes Connect through the Publishing pane I'm told "Your ID or Password was entered incorrectly." Even though I've just used it to sign into iTunes (and here), so my password and Apple ID work fine elsewhere.
Is my access to the iTunes Connect being delayed while my submission is processed, i.e. the processing of my tax and account details? Or am I stuck in a loop?
If this is still processing (I started this 20 hours ago) I assume that I have to submit the book itself when I can download iTunes Producer at a later date, as I haven't submitted the book yet?
I emailed the problem to iTunes Store and was refered to [email protected], only for them to say they don't read or reply to emails sent to that address??????
I'm not sure which part of the process I've reached - if any. I feel I'm in limbo. I have an iBook ready to go - but where is Apple?
Any help would be most welcome.
Andy
