My iPhone 4S is preventing me from sending text messages and making or recieving phone calls, any suggestions on how to rid of this problem?

My iPhone 4S will not recieve calls or text messages. It also prevents me from sending calls or text messages. I have had my SIM card double checked for verification on the phone listed and had several visits to my Bell provider. Any tips or suggestions?

The iphone is designed to lock the screen when it is next to your face.
If it is not locking when it is against your ear, then try basic troubleshooting: Restart,reset, restore
Unless you have a case on it. If you have a case, then remove the case and see if that solves it. Otherwise, try basic troubleshooting.
If all fails then make an appointment at the local genius bar or call Apple support to arrange from a replacement.

IPhone 4S does everything apart from send text messages

Yesterday my new 16GB iPhone 4S arrived and I upgrade my simcard from normal sim to micro-sim. Since using it, it can do everything related to data (internet, iMessage etc.), it can make calls and receive texts but it just won't send text messages (red exclimation mark after a few seconds of sending) and I don't understand why. Ive tried turning iMessage off and sending it that way, still with no luck. I find his extremely strange as I can receive text message perfectly fine (in green bubbles, so they're definitely not iMessages). I've phoned O2 but they don't think it's a fault at their end. The only thing they can think of is if their masts are down. Yet I have a friend on the same network sending text messages without fail.
Hopefully someone can help as this is driving me nuts.

You're welcome.
Then call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Is there a way to block someone from sending Text Messages ONLY?

I would like to block a family member from sending text messages but I do not want to restrict calling abilities in case of an emergency.
I have gone to My Verizon>>Safeguards but this option only seems to allow you to block on an "All or Nothing" basis.
Is there a way to prevent someone from sending you text messages while still allowing phone calls?

Thanks for your response. I have an I Phone (I Messages) but the party that I want to block does not have an I Phone.

I purchased an album on my PC and then sync it to my iPhone but in my music library in my phone the song appeared twice. Also everytime I deleted the song from my phone and redownload the song from iTunes to the phone it reappears twice. How do I fix this problem?

I've had the exact same problem, but with 72 songs that I can't get off of my phone!
Also, I have the setting set so that my phone does not show music that has been purchase on iTunes but is not synced.
Any ideas?

When sending a text to another iphone it sends it twice and the reply comes delayed, sometimes hours later. How can I fix this?

That usually means that the recipient is in a bad wifi or cellular data signal area.

My iPad was stolen in brazil. i cannot get the manufacturer id number from my iPhone or my macbook air....they are all linked together though. any suggestions on how and if i can possibly retrieve this and thus locate the device? thanks julie

Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number, IMEI, and possibly the MEID.
The manufacturer ID will not help you locate the iPad, though. If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored).
If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance).

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat. Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default. From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?

You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
You can not selectively do this on the phone.

My iPhone is in recovery mode, But once it's done with the process a tab comes up saying there was something wrong restoring it (1015) error. Any suggestions of how I could fix this?

My iPhone is in recovery mode, But once it's done with the process a tab comes up saying there was something wrong restoring it (1015) error. Any suggestions of how I could fix this?

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
In other words:
The backup to which you're trying to restore was created with a lower or previos version of iOS than the one installed on your iPhone during the recovery. If this is the case then you'll be unable to restore your phone with that backup and you'll have to set your iPhone up as new. Or,
Your iPhone was/is jailbroken. If this is the case, there is nothing anyone here or at Apple can do for you.

I am having a hard time sending text messages and picture mail even thought I have good signal

I am having a hard time getting my phone to send text messages and pictures sometimes even thought I have a good signal. If someone could tell me if they have had this problem and how they resolved it I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

When I text anyone who don't use Apple devices I have to resend the message two or three times it goes through. I have an iPhone 5c running on iOS 8.0.2 if that helps figure anything out. Thank you.
SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.
Best of luck.

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I can not eliminate ASK engine from the list. It came back by itself. Please, tel me how I can eliminate this problem. Another problem, this browser is no longer compatible with some institutions. This new version might have some problems.

I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail. It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding. Any suggestions?

I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail. I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.
