    Falktr,
That's definitely odd but I understand how frustrating this is, we definitely want to assist you. Is this a Verizon Wireless iPhone? If not, you may experience problems such as this. If it is, please reset the network settings http://vz.to/Q7XEOV. If that doesn't work, please follow these steps http://bit.ly/19vT5qz .

    My daughter is out of the country until May. She did not take her iPhone 5 with her. Now she needs a phone number that is stored
    in the memory and cannot remember her passcode. I have tried all of the possibities that she e-mailed , but none of them work
    and now I am locked out for an hour each time I enter an invalid passcode. Help? How can I get around this to access the phone?

  • IPhone 4:  I can't find all the songs on my phone that show up as on the phone.

    I wanted to put 4 meditation CDs on my IPhone 4.  I finally managed to get them all copied and loaded.  When I plug my phone into my computer these CDs with all the tracks show up but I cannot find them on my phone anywhere.  I'm at wits end and ready to throw my IPhone 4 through the window.  I really, really need those meditation tracks.

    Since the songs have the cloud download button, it means they are not currently on your iPhone.  They are capable of being downloaded to your iPhone if you choose, but they are not there right now.

    My phone number shows a different number in the contacts my number section. How do I change it as I cannot even load airtime

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • HT204053 the wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad

    The wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad when I put in my apple id. I have got to my apple.com and changed my phone number and it still won't change. I have even reset my iPad to correct it and didn't work. UGH! Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you referring to messaging, it sounds as though you are sharing your ID with others.

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • My number is unknown in the phone settings

    My number is unknown in the phone settings i cannot edit
    i restored twice with no success i'm  using ios 5.0.1 on iphone 4S
    The only thing i did is that i have activated iphone using another SIM but i used the original sim in the next 2 restore trials

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately the provided sim cards & the systems of Omantel doesn't support identifying your phone number and the only way to activate the iMessage will be through using your Apple ID or if you have the option to move to the second operator Nawras were you won't face this issue.
    Good luck!

  • Irecently upgraded my Iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.0 using Itunes. Now its showing me message that the phone cannot be activated. What can i do ?

    iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
    Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
    If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.

    Wrong, and too funny, but thanks for my laugh for the day.

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • Create new search criteria by Phone number in transaction BP in the REFX

    Dear All,
    I need help in this issue, I need to  create new Search criteria by Phone number in transaction BP in the REFX.

    Hi,
    Check BADI BUPA_SHLP_CONTROL, which has method FILTER_INCL_SHLP to control search helps in BP.  You can remove the standard search help by deleting corresponding entry from Changing parameters CT_SHLP_TAB of the method .
    You can refer one of the standard implementations for the above BADI , where search helps are removed based on conditions
    one of the Standard implementation: FSBP_SEARCH_HLP_EXIT
