    My new iphone 5 is not syncing text messages or phones past 2012. Can anyone help? I have synced my iphone 4 with icloud and itunes prior to syncing my iphone 5 but not sure why it is not working.

    Did you possibly restore it from an old backup file?

  • New 3G IPhone.  Why won't my IPOD Classic headphones work with 3G?

    Why won't my new IPOD Classic earphones work with my new 3G IPhone? These are the original earphones that came with the IPOD and IPhone. Thanks.

    When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

  • New iPhone 5s/iOs7 Won't Send Text Messages to 4s/iOs 6.1

    Hello,
    My husband got a new iPhone 5s (iOs7) yesterday and when he sends a text message to my 4s (iOs 6.1), I don't get it. On his screen, the texts from him are blue. If he holds down the message and sends as text, I get them, and on my screen they are white.
    I did do a bit of research and tried resetting the network settings and turning on SMS but it didn't work at all.
    Can anyone give me a hand please? The poor man has been dealing with a belligerent, messed up Android phone for months, waiting to get this iPhone and now we can't text each other :-P Is this something we will have to live with until Apple fixes it?
    Thank you,
    Gina

    So strange.  I receive texts in established chat threads but if I try to start a new conversation, it gets bounced back as "not delivered".  I'm facing a future when I may have to revert to talking to people on the phone again.  Help.  Please.
    Which type of messages are you having a problem with, iMessages (blue) or SMS (green)? Or both?

  • Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them?  Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

    Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

    It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

  • I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

    I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

    This is for imessage - go to settings - message - send&receive and start a new convo - remove or uncheck the apple id.

  • New iPhone 5c Mail won't push

    I activated my new iPhone (Verizon 5c, 16 gig) on March 7th and updated to 7.1 a day later. It replaced an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I had the phone all set up with programs and wireless connectivity prior to activating it. All of my emails and contacts were on the phone and they worked exactly as they had on my old phone using iOS 6, via my wireless modem.
    However, either after the activation, or the update to 7.1 a day or two later (I don’t know which), my two personal email accounts connected to my two web sites stopped working as they had before.
    My Yahoo and iCloud accounts did not change. They work fine.
    There are two problems. First of all, I do not have the choice of setting my email to Push. The accounts can only be set to Fetch. I have contacted my provider, and they have assured me that there is no reason for that to happen. They have made no changes, and my iPhone emails almost always arrived on my old phone before they arrived on my computer. They were definitely being pushed, and I am also certain that they were being pushed before the phone was activated, because again, I almost always heard the new iPhone beep first.
    To clarify, I do not have the choice to select "Push" when I go to the Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data. I do have that choice with my Yahoo iCloud accounts.
    The second problem is almost stranger. The emails ONLY show up after I open and look specifically at those accounts, and they show up as already read (no little blue dots next to them).  So I don’t know that I haven’t read them. They still show up as unread on my computer. Also, even though they are not read, they also do not show up in the unread number account. (I sent numerous test emails as I fiddled with settings and this happens every time.)
    And though the Notification Center is are set identically for all four email accounts, only the Yahoo and iCloud accounts provide notification. The two problem accounts do not notify me when new emails were received, even after the 15 minutes Fetch time has elapsed, and they still don’t show up in my email list until after I open that account and wait for the new emails to start showing up. They are never there before I open the account.
    So, I can’t set the accounts to Push, I’m not notified when they arrive, and they show up as already read. (And by the way, those same emails still show as unread several hours later on the laptop because they have never been opened on either device.)
    I know for sure that I had Push notification before, because it irritated me that the phone always seemed to get the message before the computer, and in my business every second counts (and I can respond faster on my laptop).
    Note that when I am home, I have cell phone service due to my location. But I do have wireless connectivity for emails and internet. So it is not a phone carrier problem. I still have the same problem when I am away from home and on the Verizon network. The emails still don’t show up as they should.
    If this can’t be fixed, I can get my old iPhone up and running again, except it has iOS7 on it now (a friend bought it, but will give it back if necessary). Is it possible to reinstall iOS6 on the old iPhone 4? I have to be able to get my emails faster.

    Update
    I was wrong about the notification. Going to POP made the emails that arrive show up as unread, but it still doesn't notify when the emails are fetched.
    So fetch is set up for 15 minutes (I need it to be faster) and when it does fetch (and I'm not sure that it does) it doesn't notify me. Only when I open up mail do I get the notification sound telling me that there are new emails.
    When I'm traveling, I need the phone to check mail for me. And I need it to tell me that it has new mail. Why is this so hard?

  • New iphone, but old won't delete..

    I got the iphone 5s and took forever to update the iphone 5s to be able to use my backup from my 5c once I finally got it I had no number shown in itunes for my new iphone 5s and the other 5c was still linked to the itunes with a phone number and everything. The 5s works, but my texts keep going out to people as my icloud email ANDD most importantly i try to go to my 5c and I can't erase all content it says the icloud account can't be verfied it says verficication failed there was an error connection to icloud I did manage my devices and unlinked the 5c off the device list and maybe thats the reason but I have no idea how to get it back on. Im so frustrated this has been so difficult and usually transferring this stuff takes a few mins.

    You have two problems.
    1. your phone number is not associated with imessage server on your new phone. Try to turn off imessage and facetime and turn back on. When you do that make sure that your phone can send text messages from your phone number.
    2. your old phone is either not connected to internet or you are not typing in correct password. Make sure your old phone is connected to wifi and verify that password is typed in for correct account.

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

  • I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself.  how do i stop this from happening?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

    Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

  • New iPhone user - why are there 3,953 message listed at bottom of email when they do not exist in my account?

    New iPhone 4 user.  Have 2 email accounts.  There are 3,954 messages total, 35 unread shown at the bottom of the AOL screen.
    There may be a 100 total at most that show up on my computer internet including saved.  How can I eliminate 3,800 or so because they definitely
    need to be deleted without having to delete them one by one? 
    Thanks

    Delete the account and re-enter it.

  • Hi! I've just purchased a new iPhone 5s but whenever I text people with iPhones it's always sent from my iCloud account. This means that my email show instead of my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Hi! I've just purchased an iPhone 5S but whenever I text people with iPhones it sends from my iCloud account. This means that my email comes up for other people not my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive> Is your phone number checked there? If you do not want your email used, then tap on them and remove the checkmark. If there is no checkmark by your phone number, then turn iMessage off, perform a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn iMessage on. When it activates, check your settings again under Send and Receive and make sure the number is checked and the emails are not.
