New Iphone 4S but still not group texting
I have a large family most without Iphones, I have them in groups in my address book but I still have to add each contact one at a time to send message. Am i doing something wrong? When I add a contact from message and click on groups all of their names come up but i still have to pick one at a time. Can someone please help me....
You can create groups (family, friends, ...) on your computer, and then sync with iTunes on your iPhone. But, no, you cannot use these groups to send group texts or group emails.
I have developed a free application to manage contacts groups, to populate these groups, and then to send emails or texts to all group members in one tap.
You can download it for free on App Store here:

I would be pleased it could help you.

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I purchased a new iPhone 4s as a replacement for a 3GS. The phone starts up with configuration, recognizes my home network wi-fi, but for the past 3 days, all I can advance to is the activate your phone screen. I have tried through iTunes, Wi-Fi and cellular and while each has a different wait time initially, in the end it is the can't activate the phone message with the description that the activation servers are unavailable. Considering that the first iPhone 5 will start this process tomorrow, if the servers aren't prepared now, what will be happening to everyone tomorrow? I am in Oklahoma and all of my devices received the updated IOS 6 without problems, but this new phone is just waiting.
When Apple replace an iPhone and the faulty one is locked to a carrier in this case it will be T-mobile ( they do not sell unlocked iPhones) they will replace the iPhone with a locked one to that carrier
So in theory you should have an iPhone locked to T-Mobile
Call Apple and they can tell you if it is locked and to which carrier .
I am also doubtful that a BB sim will work in an iPhone even if unlocked due to BB Messenger -
trying to do a hard reset on my iphone 4s. never had a lock code on the device. I am using an iphone 5 and after update i add a security code.
I am using the same one but it does not accep the code.
Is there any other way to do the hard reset on the device?I went to Setting, General, and reset, I select Reset all settings and contents and it asked me for a 4 digit code but when i use the one on my current iphone 5 id doest work.

After 12 hours, new iPhone 5 is still not activated!
<< Post moved to iPhone 5 space for better exposure >>
I've been told by a VZW 'technician' that my activation process is bogged down in a cluster of malfunctioning switches. But, no guidance regarding how the problem will be resolved, or when! Was told many customers were suffering this problem today, but my phone was one of four purchased today, and the other three achieved automatic activation in ten minutes or less. Does anyone at VZW really know what's happening here, and why?
Message was edited by: Verizon ModeratorFYI - there is an iPhone area of the forums that may have better information/feedback for you.
If there truely is a problem with the service area you are trying to register your phone in then simply travel to a different service area and complete the steps. Not sure if iPhones use SIM cards but your SIM could be bad and require replacement too.
VZW never fully discloses the details on outages or why they are happening. Phone reps are not provided with that information either. Only the field personnel responsible for repairing and maintaining the towers really know what is going on and its not thier job to speak to customers. All anyone will ever let you know is when service is down and then back up again. -
Any help would be appreciated!!
Start with the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if that doesn't help, some have found it works if you:
Settings > Airplane Mode ON and Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > Airplane Mode OFF and Do Not Disturb OFF
Now try WiFi again.
If none of this helps, visit the Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it. -
New HP ink cartridges - still not printing black
New HP inks - but still not printing black. Have re-inserted; cleaned printhead; store replaced ink cartridge incase faulty; ink levels all full. No black printing; just good old faint grey. I am so frustrated with this printer and dont really want to have to schlepp it to the repairs place when it was working perfectly before I replaced the ink. Have had to pay the shop for 2 black inks as clearly the first wasnt faulty - it's the printer. Have even tied the APP suggestion but still grey where it should be black! Reluctant to take out printhead and wash it under tap. Should i try that?!!
Hi @rhare
No, personally I suggest calling us instead. Some printers have printheads that are intended to be removed and cleaned if necessary, your printers printhead is fixed and is not intended to be removed.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.

I downloaded a ringdown direct from itunes to my iphone 4S. When I go to settings/sounds/ringtone, the new ringtone is not there! I have downloaded it twice, but still not there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

I've transferred my old no to my new iphone 5, but it is still showing the original number in my contacts. How do I change this?
Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password -
I know Imessaging between IOS 5 devices is free, but when sending group texts to both IOS 5 phones and nonIOS 5 phones, is it still free to those with IOS 5? The text bubble is green.
According to Macworld it is a lowest common denominator situation. If any of the people on your list are not iMessage people then all the messages go out SMS and will count against your messages from your provider. Bummer IMHO, but that is the way it is.

I have a problem with connecting my iPhone to iTunes. I uninstalled one of the computer program and restart my laptop. After restart my laptop and a message said that iTunes might not working because one of the component is missing and request to reinstall the iTunes. Hence I remove iTunes from my laptop and I reinstall iTunes to my laptop but still not working.
Before this the iTunes will automatically launch when I plug in my iPhone. But after I reinstall iTunes, it's not working. When I try to plug in my iPhone after iTunes launched and message "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." popped out. I did this twice but it's not working as well.
Please advise what should I do to fix this.First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -
Since i got the new Iphone 4s it constantly drops calls. Apple have replaced the phone with another new iphone 4s but i am still having the same problem. I have checked with vodapohe that there is no issue from there end, given a new sim, still drops out
