Problems with iMessage syncing to multiple devices after update

After updating to iOS 6.1.3 & OS 10.8.3 I can no longer send/receive iMessages from my cellular number. iMessage won't sync between phone & computer. Thoughts?

I found an answer thanks to

Don't waste time with all of that crap....
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I literally* just did this, saw a link for this thread, and figured i'd come see if it worked for you. Mine hasn't worked since early January and for a while I wasn't getting texts from some other iPhone users either.
I have an iPhone 4, but I assume it will still work for you. I also have iOS 5.1 (just updated after plugging into iTunes on my mac), so that may make a difference, but I think it's just a network thing. When you disable "Set Automatically" for time, I figure that you are also denying access to a part of the network that is necessary for iMessage.
**EDIT**
I also forgot to mention that, despite Apple's excluvisity, you still need to rely on an internet connection to use this little feature. After you activate, it will even have an option to send as a regular text (SMS) when iMessage isn't available (when there is no or very little internet). I'm assuming that sliding to "no" will just save the message until you connect again.

Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook. It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago. We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports. These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's. Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly. Is there a way to back off the updates?
What it does.
When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.

ZEN micro: problem with song/album/title/genre renaming after update - pls he

hi!
after updating my zen micro to the new firmware (playforsure) and the necessary software update of the media source organizer - i wasn?t able to rename the title on the player - like before the update: it'ss only possible to rename them one by one and not e.g. a full album (genre).
BTW: why has the user interface changed that much - all songs i?ve arranged before the update had to be rearranged and that isn?t possible anymore in the way it was before...
thx

You can try these two:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/godfather.html
If they're not to your liking, try Google. These are not the only ones, but they're good (and free). Tag & Rename is also very good, but it costs a few bucks.

Problems with Icloud calendar on multiple devices

my calendar is not working correctly when I put an event on my ipad it dissapears but on my computer the event shows up numerous times. Also on my computer I am having trouble with the calendar going to the correct date on i cloud it keeps moving to a different date.

Thank you paulfromstpeters !

I don't remember what I exactly did, but after some changes on a repeted event (I think I deleted some recurrens), it doesn't appear anymore on the iCloud and on the iPod (but correctly on the MacBook).

Problem with receiving and making a call after updating OS.

I just updated my Z10 Model STL100-3 with the new OS 10.3.2.2168. I now cannot answer incoming calls. The phone rings, but there is no screen displayed to answer or decline the call. I'm also unable to unlock while the phone is ringing. Once the caller hangs up the normal opening screen appears advising I missed a call and then allows me to unlock the phone. When placing a call, the screen does not change to allow me to end the call. That is, I touch the contact name and it automatically starts dialing, but the screen does not react or change to show the call is being made. I then need to shut off the phone to hang up!

Hi and Welcome to the Community! Well, assuming you've waited the customary 48-72 hours, with plenty of reboots (including battery pulls), and this behavior is new, and the only thing that changed was the updated OS...then, the most common thing to do after an update that results in issues is to perform an OS reload. Sometimes, the update processes have errors and such...with a reload often curing the issues. The official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions you are offered:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Functions-and/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-O...The unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve (unless you are on 10.3.2, in which case 10.3.1 and earlier are now blocked, but you should be able to use just about any 10.3.2 that is official):http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/Of course, before you start any of this you will want a good backup via LINK, a manual copy of your Device Memory to your PC, and full documentation of your configuration (account credentials, added apps, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring from a backup returns to the device the very corruption one needs to eliminate, and reconfiguring from scratch can resolve that. Good luck and let us know!

IMessage not syncing across multiple devices

Hi All,
I have recently got on iPhone 4S as well as my exisiting iPad 1. My wife also has an iPad 2. All these devices have been updated sucesssfully to iOS 5.
We have one central iTunes account (mine) that gets used to purchase apps and music from iTunes - nothing out of the ordinary there.
We also have two iCloud accounts for use with our own devices (mine on the iPad1 and iPhone - my wife has one for her iPad2).
On the face of it - we can message back and forth ok apart from one small problem. Any conversation I start on the iPad will get duplicated to the iPhone but wont show any replies - these all go to the iPhone. So I'm basically looking at a one sided conversation from the iPad point of view.
Any conversation started on the iPhone just doesnt show up on the iPad at all.
I've found several posts (all based on the same theme) that suggests that I change the caller ID to the apple (iCloud) account on the phone and also 'reconfirm' the settings on the iPad.
This I have done several times but with no joy. I get the feeling that the sync between multiple devices isnt quite there yet.
Has anyone else come up against this in here - and if so - how did you fix it.
Thanks
Wayne.

The feature really doesn't work very well yet. Most likely a future update will fix it or at least make it more obvious why it doesn't behave consistently.
For what it's worth, after following the caller ID instructions that you have tried, it took about a day for syncing to start working but some conversations and messages still never show up on my iPad.
Not much we can do but wait for iOS 5.1 I'm afraid. No doubt apple are aware of the issue at this point.

I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

Problems with iMessage across mobile devices

My wife and I both have iOS 5 on our iPhone 4's, and I have iOS 5 on my iPad 2 as well. I receive her messages from her phone on both my iPhone and my iPad, but my iPad won't let me reply: the Send button is blue, but the word "Send" stays grey, and won't function. Obviously it is receiving messages just fine, so I have something right in the settings, but why can't I send a message? It doesn't matter whether I am in my home wi-fii, or running across 3G- it won't work either way. Please help!

I am having huge problems with imessage. I go to send an imessage and the sending bar at the top gets to around 90% and then just stops. It takes around 10 minutes before it finally says fails. Often you dont even realise it has failed as it says it has sent, yet when you check your phone there is a red dot against it. This is a huge problem both in and out of wifi areas. My phone is usless when trying to text my wife who also has an iphone 4s as it only sends an imessage around 50% of the times I Try.

Problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules.
I am using CSM-S software version 2.1(8).
The acitve module is used in a 6509 with WS-SUP720-BASE supervisor running software version 12.2(18)SXF12a.
The standby module is used in a 6509-V with VS-S720-10G supervisor (no VSS setup) running software version 12.2(33)SXI3.
Failover seems to work fine:
switch-active#sh modu csm 2 ft
FT group 1, vlan 398
This box is active
Configuration is out-of-sync
priority 150, heartbeat 3, failover 40, preemption is on
switch-standby# sh modu csm 2 ft
FT group 1, vlan 398
This box is in standby state
Configuration is out-of-sync
priority 80, heartbeat 3, failover 40, preemption is on
The command (on active side) "hw-module contentSwitchingModule 2 standby config-sync" leads to following result:

The last log message on standby device seems to be correct - there is no CSM configuration after the attempted config sync.
Our configuration includes about 3500 lines and it is really uncomfortable to keep in sync manually.
Maybe someone has the same problem?
kind regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
I am running into the exact same issue. Upon further investigation I've discovered that this is a known bug, CSCtd09117. You can read more about it here: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtd09117 . Apparently this is fixed in ver 12.2(32.8.11)SX323 .
I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet, so I can't verify the fix, but if it works for you please let me know.
Regards,
Brandon

How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

Hi there,
My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent). My husband and I each have one as well. We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices. Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's. When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)? Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices? I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress. We all share one itunes account.
Thanks so much!
(If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

We all share one itunes account.
This would be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes by ...
You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ? delete the game from the current apple id. Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
Look into family sharing:
