My iPhone 4 will say that an SMS Text has sent, even though the recipient never receives it.

Just like the title says - my phone will send the message (the bar along the top after you hit 'send' fills), but the recipient never receives it. I've tried freeing up memory, power on/off, and testing it again multiple people with different cellular services - it's definitely my phone. I've never had a problem like this one any other phone, and I haven't switched services, so I believe it is an issue with the iPhone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the iPhone is showing the message was sent, you saw the bar fill, it made the sent message sound, etc., then the fault is not within your phone it is with one of the carriers.

I changed my rescue ID and want to use my former rescue ID as my new apple ID, but it won't let me as it still says that email is my resuce ID, even though the new rescue ID email has been verified! Help!

My apple ID is associated with an old email I never use. My current email was set as my rescue email, so I could not make that my new Apple ID. I have changed my rescue email to another email address and verified it, but when I now try to update my apple ID it still says I cannot use that email address becuase it's my rescue email address, even though it is not. HELP!

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.

I'll send an iMessage or SMS and it will say delivered, but the recipient never receives it. Sometimes i'll send a message and it won't arrive until I send the recipient a second text sometimes hours later

iMessage will say "delivered" but it will not be received. Also will sometimes send a text, and it will not go through until I send a subsequent text , sometimes hours later. Like the first message was stuck in some sort of text limbo. Happens sporadically but often enough to be an annoyance. Already tried restore, resetting network settings, switching on or off iMessage, and calling verizon. Does the +1 in front of my number have anything to do with it? any suggestions?

Every time I start Firefox in an unpriveleged login I get an error box saying that an update installation has failed, even when it's up to date.

Firefox 19.0.2; on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 build 2600.xpxp_sp3_gdr_130105-0416.
I normally work using minimal privileges - so the user from which I mostly run Firefox doesn't have sufficient privilege to install a Firefox update. Now and again I log in as a privileged user, start firefox, and grab the latest version. However it happens quite frequently that Firefox goes into a mode where on Firefox startup I get an error window saying that it failed to install the update. When that window is dismissed, Firefox starts up and of course it's the latest version. Nothing I have tried appears to have any effect on this, but always after some period of time - in which I will have logged in and out a few times and probably started and stopped Firefox dozens of times - for no reason that I can discern it stops producing this error message and begins to start up without the error. This lasts a few days, and then it reverts to getting the error message.
In case it's useful to anyone, the error window is labelled
Dh'fhàillig ùrachadh a' bhathar-bhuig
which translates roughly to "The software's update failed"
and the text in the window is
Cha do ghabh an t-ùrachadh a stàladh. Dèan cinnteach nach eil lethbhreac eile de Firefox a' dol air a' choimpiutair agad is ath-thòisich Firefox an uairsin is feuch ris a-rithist.
which is roughly "The update couldn't be installed. Make certain no other copy of Firefox is running on your computer and then restart Firefox and try again".
I have of course done what the window tells me; it has no effect (if it had that would mean the OS security was broken) which is a good thing but suggests that the message in the window is a bad thing. I also tried updateing from the Firefox help menu (and was relieved to see that didn't work). Using a priileged user to install the update gives the unprivileged user the latest version, but doesn't ,ake the startup message go away.
I have a suspicion that what is happening is that Firefox running in unprivileged mode finds a security update, downloads it, and fails to install it, instead of recognising that it's running in unprivileged mode and just warning the user than an update is available; once it has done that the update remains downloaded in the unprivileged user's space, and even when the update is installed by the privileged user so that all users now have the updated version Firefox tries to install it despite its being already installed whenever the unprivileged user starts it up. If so, that would be a rather unpleasant problem, since it would tend to encourage people always to login with sysadmin privileges.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

If i upgrade my RAM will that be enough to improve performance even though the CPU stays the same?

I have an iMac (mid-2010) 4gb, Intel dual core i3 processor. OSX Mavericks (newest version)
I have moved almost all data to a 3TB external drive, freeing up much of the space giving me 871gb free storage on the main drive.
I am also running my libraries, back ups, & media from the external drive keeping the main free.
I am upgrading to 4x4gb to increase RAM to 16gb for the iMac.
However the CPU is still the same.
Clearly I am not very versed in understanding the hardware. I've spent the last two days learning a lot!! Everyone has been super helpful in
guiding me, and I feel I am almost there.
Just want to understand how I can get my iMac to function at its best when working in FCPX (newest version). Especially
when it comes to rendering & exporting. My workload is heavy, multiple videos at 1080i HD.
I don't know much about how to read the Activity Monitor and posting a picture. When viewing, and fcpx is running, the CPU will be
upwards of 300%!!
HELP! THANKS

Yes, it is. It can be said to be almost ancient.
Note that this is not to say that your computer can't serve you. I am writing this on a 4 year old computer myself. It still works great (in fact better than when it was new, because it now has 8GB and an SSD). I can work on FCP X on it, too. I can run Mavericks and will be able to run Yosemite, too.
But I also have the chance to try a 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, and it is night and day :-)

My ipad 2 says that it's up to date, even though it's an ipad 2

i heard that the ipad 2 can also upgrade to ios 7 but when i went into the settings to update by wifi it says that it's up to date with the latest version of ios 6
i don't understand, HELP!!

The servers are just swamped. Wait a bit and try again.

Yosemite still saying that I need to download it even though I've installed it twice

I just bought my Macbook Air yesterday, and I was told to update the software. In "Purchases" it still says that I need to download Yosemite after I've already installed it twice. When I click on "About this Mac," it says I'm running Yosemite. I don't understand why I need to download it again and again.

You do not need to download again if About This Mac shows you are running Yosemite.
What the App Store, Purchases is showing you is that Yosemite is available for download, not that you need to do so. You can just ignore that button.

It won't let me redownload my free apps and says that it is no longer available even though it still can be downloaded

it will not let me redownload my free apps and it says its is no longer available but it still is
what should i do?

Make sure that your Apple ID is up to date by going to "Apple ID" on a Apple website, answer your DOB, security questions.
Create a new password for Apple if necessary.
**Game Center, iCloud, iTune must have the same ID and the password.
Then on the setting on your phone, go to "General", scroll down and make sure that "Restriction" is OFF.
Go to Apple app.... you should be able to reload the app.
I just followed the instructions on "support.apple.com"
Good Luck!

My Iphone5 power button seems to be permanently pressed. It will think that it is being held down even though I am not touching it and also turn the screen on when I am not touching it. Very hard to use the phone. Any ideas?

There is no rhyme or reason to when it does this. Sometimes, it will be fine for a few hours. Sometimes, I can't use the phone as it exists out of apps automatically and consistently comes up with the "slide to power off" screen. It's draining the battery. Apple replaced my screen a few months ago and the problems have only occured since then but they have got progressivly worse. Any ideas before I take it to the genuis bar and get told it's going to cost me an obsence amount of money to fix a problem I haven't caused? No water damage or droppage on the device either and I have a thick case on it. Case doesn't affect/help the problem as well.

Hi jemerrifield,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your external display being used with your Mac Pro is flickering along the top of the screen. I completely understand how this can be frustrating, especially for being a new computer. I would however like you to follow some troubleshooting steps that will also help determine if the issue is with the display you are using, cables, or the Mac Pro.

TS1398 I am logged on to the wifi at home, and every now and again my ipad says that there is no wifi connection, even though it is in the same spot it was when I had wifi connection & then 5 seconds later it picks the connection up again. Is this due to

I am also having numerous other problems with my ipad, apps just close randomly (they worked perfectly fine before) as well as my hipstamatic doesn't want to save photos to the photos. Is there a way to go back to IOS 5?

Hey Saanasaana, Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset and tapping Reset All Settings. If still no joy... Reset Network Settings and rebooting the router. If that doesn't do it, try Settings then tap the offending Wi-Fi Network, then tap Forget this Network and re-load it, as if it was a new network.
Your next options are to Restore. Connect to your iPod with your computer with the cable, and make new backups / copies of all your stuff to your computer first, then Restore from Backup. If that does not solve, Restore to New, a full restore. Note restore to new will wipe you iPod put it back to factory specs, that's why your need to make backups of everything on your iPod before you do it so you can reload your stuff back to your iPod. If the full restore does not solve you may have a hardware issue, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck. Cheers.

New iPhone 6 asks for my girlfriends password to update apps, even though the phone is connected to my itunes account?

My phone is hooked up to my iTunes account, but when i go to update apps, it asks for my girlfriends iTunes password? I only go the phone today, but havent had this trouble before with iPhone 4 or 5.
Can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on? - Thanks

If that's the case you may have to disable wifi syncing in her user account using her iTuens library. I'm really not sure though. If someone does, hopefully they'll jump in here. The problem with chaning libraries is that when you do, iTunes will delete any iTunes media on the phone and replace it with the media in the iTunes library you sync with so hopefully this won't be necessary.

Icloud will not let me change my apple ID, even though the ID is changed.

I changed my Apple ID and now my icloud won't let me change the ID under my settings...it just keeps saying "wrong Apple ID or password." Super frustrating.

Go to system preferences, icloud
Log out - It will ask you to delete the calendars appts etc.... (do not worry, once you change your id everything syncs back up) just click delete, you will see 2 more similar windows pop up, just delete. When you are finished, click on the icloud icon again and put in your new ID. It will ask what you want to sync and your done.

I've received a message that says my message can't be sent. Unfortunately, the list of recipients is so long I can't see the bottom to click "try another server". The message won't scroll. How can I get to the options at the bottom?

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
