My messages app on my computer is typing in another language (not english). How do I change this?

I finally got the app to link with my phone and it all to work. But now it's typing in Arab or something when the rest of my computer is in English.

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

another way to change it is :
go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
and then do what razmee209 said,
after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
I hope this could help you,

I was forced to update windows and restart my computer, now my video player will not play how do i fix this?

on my cable provider website I often watch tv series. I was doing so as normal today and then had to leave the computer to go do something else. When I came back the computer had gone to sleep so I started back up and hit resume play and the video crashed after a few seconds. This has happened before so I restarted the video which as always worked. Didnt work this time so I tried to restart the computer. The restart ran some windows updates and now I am unable to play the same videos I was playing earlier today. The video just keeps saying it is loading or buffering. How do I fix this?

You did not say what programs you are using or how. Go to the web sites
of the '''true owners''' of the video programs and get the full installer.
Do the same for Firefox at '''''Mozilla.com'''''.

HT1338 I just updated my system to 10.6.8. New computer just out of the box, but I wanted to download Numbers from the App store and it says I need 10.7.4. How do I get this update?

I have a new IMac, purchased from my Dad that he never used. I just did the latest update to 10.6.8. I wanted to get "Numbers" on the computer from the App Store but it says I need 10.7.4. How do I get this? Everytime I try update it goes to 10.6.8. I am new to Apple and struggling a bit.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, you must install the DVD version of iWork. If you previously got a compatible version of Numbers from the Mac App Store, go to its home page and click on Support under Quick Links.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, try purchasing Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
If upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8 requires any other upgrades or replacements(they both require at least 2GB RAM and don't support PowerPC-only software such as Office 2004), it may be cheaper to buy and install the DVD version of iWork even if your computer can be upgraded to use the Mac App Store version.

HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

I purchased an app on my computer and need to transfer to new IPad, how do I do that?

Yes - sync it with iTunes. You can also drag the App form the App section of iTunes to the iPad/iPhone once connected to your iTunes - this will force a sync.
You can also set Automatic Downloads on your iTunes on your mac and also on your phone/iPad. This will mean when you buy anything anywhere it will also download for the other places. I find it really handy.

I hope this helps. Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

HI,
The simple shortest answer is that you can't (Change a Buddy's settings)
From your own end you can reply to the first Off Line IM you get on an AIM login (an accompanying IM for AIMSysMessage asks if you want them to Continue - replying No stops them)
IF you have stopped Off Line IMS than you can reset this at AIM Settings
You can log in here with AIM and Apple IDs that end in @mac.com and @me.com (iCloud issued @me.com name are an Exception)
In addition the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that refers to setting the Status to Off Line on Quit stops the App starting up if iChat is not launched but the computer is ON

My messages use my email and not my phone number on my mac. How do I change this?

I use the messages app on my computer quite frequently and whenever I send out a message to a friend's phone, they receive it as my email and not my phone number. I know there is a way to change this because my friend does it all the time on her computer but we see it as her number. Please someone help me fix this. Thank you.

Hey jumnalailaa,
Great question. This can be accomplished if you have an iPhone that is registered with the same Apple ID in iMessage.
The following article outlines how to link your phone number for use in OS X.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
After doing so, you can change the default account (send messages from your iPhone number by default) in Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage > Start new conversations from
Thanks,

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.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.
