Hi amybrooklyn,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
Notification Center - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6534c01bc
Set notification options. Go to Settings > Notification Center. Tap an app to set its notification options. You can also tap Edit to arrange the order of app notifications.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Can I set an alarm to tell me I have a text message waiting to be read?
Got Iphone 3G recently. Had an old Motorola phone before. When a text message came, it gave a little 'bip' every minute or so to let me know it was there?

I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4. I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones. When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa. How can I fix this?
"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

Is there a way to restore text messages back to my iPhone 5s version 7.1.1? I have several text messages that have been deleted somehow and I would like to restore them to my phone.
I have tried restoring it from the last backup and that did not help. Please advise.
GMHi
If you have already tried restoring from the latest back up but that has not worked unfortunately they have probably gone im afraid
Hope this helps -
I have just upgraded to the iphone 5 and now when I send a text message it says its from astrogirl36@*** instead of my name, that is my name for icloud how do I change this
<Email Edited By Host>You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want. -
IPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. I want this stopped
My granddaughters iPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. How do I stop this?
If they have the same Apple ID, that is why it is happening. If the phone is using the phone number, remove the Apple ID from the Send & Receive section on the phone. That way it is only using the phone number. Then check the iPod and you can remove the phone number from that list of Send & Receive as well, so it is only using the Apple ID.

How do I get my iphone 4s to remind me once that i have a text message?
How doo I get my iphone 4s to remind me once that i have a text message?
Apart from the "text tone" that you can select from SETTINGS - SOUNDS, you can also customize the reminder/notification in SETTINGS - NOTIFICATIONS - MESSAGES
You can choose the alert style; number of times it would alert you (Max 10 times) and select to view the message in locked screen. -
My Iphone 5 will not notify me when I have a text message. There is not banner notification, not sound, or vibration. I have to click on the message icon to even see if I have a text message.
Settings app > Notification Center > Messages (you will need to check both the INCLUDE and DO NOT INCLUDE sections). Set the alerts you wish to see.

IPhone 4 rebooted itself and deleted all my text messages??
My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and rebooted and when it came back on every single text message was deleted. What would cause this?? I feel like it has been running slow and buggy lately. But have the latest software. Not sure what I can do??
Did you fix it? I tried to copy paste but was unable to. Did you write "lost text" in the search? I am going to insert the link I found. Let me know how it works out. VERY IMPORTANT...DO NOT SYNC YOUR PHONE!!! RESTORE FROM BACK UP FIRST...ONCE YOU SYNC, YOU CAN NEVER RETRIEVE

Ok so I just got a new iphone 4s that's factory unlocked & I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
If the person doesn't have imessage? And if they do? Because I don't have a text messaging or data plan.michelletu1031 wrote:
But what if I don't use the data plan for imessage and use wifi instead?
If you are using wifi, you are not using a data plan. You will not be charged.
And you cannot send SMS over wifi. You can only send iMessages (to people with Macs/iDevices and iMessage enabled).

Messages is the app.
iMessage is type of message that goes over wifi or cell data.
Open the Messages app and add a phone number or appleID, the line to enter you message will display Text Message (and a green Send button) or iMessage (and a blue Send button).
If it's a text message (green) it will be sent as SMS and you will be charged, even if you are on wifi.
If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are on wifi, it will be sent over wifi (no charge).
If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are NOT on wifi, it will be sent over cell data or sent as an SMS. -
I no longer have "predictive" text messaging. Anyone else have this or no why that happened?
I no longer have "predictive" text messaging. I have an iPhone 5S, just updated to iOS 8 and iOS 8.2. I've tried turning messaging on and off, searched in General category without benefit. It simply stopped about a week ago, after going to iOS 8.

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?
Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone. -
is it possible to have my text messages sent to my email as well? or is there a way to view them other than on the phone?
Sure. Go to the conversation that contains the message(s) you wish to forward. Tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Select the message(s) you wish to forward using the radio buttons. Tap "Forward" at the bottom right of the screen.
