On my iphone I no longer have an icon for messaging on one of my contacts. I can still text that person and have his phone number but what happened to the icon?

One of my contacts no longer has an icon for texting. It show the phone icon and his number is still present. I can still send and receive texts from this person but what happened to the "balloon" icon?

Can you delete the contact, reset your phone and then re add the contact again?

    when i try to activate itunes on my iphone it continues to say "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." and now my phone has stuck. what happened?

    Hello mzpartia,
    I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
    Resolution
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My old email comes up when I want to update my apps.and I know that email is old and I don't use it.however I don't have a password for it so am unable to update.how can I delete it? And have my current email for that

    My old email come up when I want to update my apps.however I don't use that password at all,I've even had a message saying its not in use. I can't update them though which is really annoying! I've tried setting up that email again and change password but doesn't work at all.does anyone know how I can get rid of and use my current email?

    Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now!  Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
    Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
    Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
    PS you`ll need to again verify bank details

  • What happened to the icon of the "house"? After searching the web or checking my e-mail I could alway click on the house to return to my home page. Now I have to keep clicking the back arrow or enter my home page on my google search.

    What happened to the icon of the "house"? After searching the web or checking my e-mail I could alway click on the house to return to my home page. Now I have to keep clicking the back arrow or enter my home page on my google search. edit

    The home button has by default moved to the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back by right-clicking on a toolbar, choose customize to open the customize toolbar window, then with that window on display you can drag and drop icons to move them.
    If the home icon is not at the right end of the navigation toolbar, use the procedures in the following link to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

  • Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but it is using the phone number fine.

    Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but the iPhone messaging is using the phone number fine. It's only the iPad messaging that is messed up. Help, pls.
    thanks!

    You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

    The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

  • Running latest version on OS X and mail.  What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?"  Is there any way to brink it back?

    Running latest version on OS X and mail.  What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?"  Is there any way to bring it back?  Thanks in advance!

    Make sure your Junk Mail settings are properly set up, right now neither of those messages are marked as Junk Mail.  When Mail identifies an item as Junk Mail or you manually do, it will add the text "Mail thinks this message is Junk Mail" or "You marked this message as Junk Mail" to the message.  Right now this just looks like regular SPAM that you might get that hasn't been properly identified as Junk Mail or when Junk Mail Filtering is no enabled.  Remember Mail needs to learn what is and is not Junk Mail over time, so if you have recently reset your mail settings through a reinstall or the like, it may still be learning.
    1.  Do you have a Junk folder (system created) as one of your mailboxes?  If there is none, it means that Junk Mail filtering is not enabled or has been enabled but the system has yet to identify any mail as Junk.
    2.  If you do have a Junk folder, try dragging a piece of mail into the folder to see if the banner I am referring to appears.  It should.  You should be able to unmark the mail and drag it it back in your inbox.
    3.  If you manually mark the mail as Junk, does it move into the Junk folder and have the banner I am referring to?  It should.
    4.  If any of the above is not happening, first check your mail settings using the guides below:
    Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
    Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
    If all seems correct and it's still not working right, try rebuilding your mailbox:
    Mail (Yosemite): Rebuild mailboxes
    If none of these help you, please post back and we'll try something else.  Oh, and clear out your Previous Recipients window of any unwanted email addresses.  Anything listed in there is usually ignored by the Junk Mail filters.

  • TS4268 My friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts now show up as his email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?

    My Friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts to me now show up as an email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?  when I text to him via his # they sent as a text not iMessage. Help I dont like to have two contacts.

    It has to do with his settings in iMessage. His iMessage has to be activated and it has to show his phone # as the "start conversation from".

  • What happened to the icon for email message addresses in Yosemite?

    Yosemite code has eliminated the email icon for outgoing message addresses.   Doesn't make sense.  What am i missing?

    If you open a compose message, then in the addressee line, there is a blue plus + in a circle.  Click that and you will get the Contacts (AddressBook).

  • What happened to the "+" icon next to URL window?

    The "+" icon next to the URL window used to bring up a pop-up menu to let you save the URL as a bookmark. Now clicking the same icon adds the URL to your Reading List instead. Is there any way to change this back? I really need the old functionality back...I used that icon 20-30 times a day to save bookmarks. Thanks for any info!

    Thanks! That's what I was trying to remember. I don't like some of these changes to Safari, but I guess I'll get used to them. I REALLY wish there was a Preference available in Safari to designate Bookmark vs Reading List as the default.

  • What happened to the icon "Stop loading this page", when I downloaded the newest version of Foxfire?

    In the previous edition of Foxfire, an arrow pointing clockwise was located near the 'back' - 'forward' button. This Stop Loading Page icon has disappeared. I liked that feature--it was helpful. How can I retrieve this feature?
    It's late. I'll check my email for the answer tomorrow (5-31-11).
    Thank you.

    You either have to buy iPhoto again, or sign in with your old Apple ID.

  • What happened to the icon that helped doenload music and video from a web p

    I forgot what it was called, but it is no longer there . It is not in the customize tool bar option either. I think it began with c?

    Greetings,
    I believe you're mistaken. There's never been an icon to download music or video from a web page in Safari. Maybe you installed something that put an icon there before you updated to Safari 4.0.3?

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks
