Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts possibly.  The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.

Hi,
Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
If it does not use the Sign Out button.
Then shut down the Mac
On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

  • I cannot get on to my Apple TV.  I know that they are now requiring a one time security code?  What is it How do I find it?

    I know that they are now requiring a one time security code.  How do I find it?  Does anyone know what it is?

    There is no such code required to use the Apple TV. A user can setup a passcode to be required for airplay, and Apple ID is required for use of the iTunes store (or any other subscriptions associated with it).

    Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
    Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
    A year ago this was news.
    Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates.

  • I have an ipad 1 and an iphone 4s, how do I manage these in iTunes given that they are different ios versions (5 and 6)?

    My iPhone 4s is on iOS 6 and that is fine (with various known issues of course). My iPad is using iOS 5 and does not support iOS 6, and here lies the problem.
    iTunes suggests updates to my Apps, some of which become iOS 6 only making them unusable on my iPad. I can't transfer these iOS 5 compatible versions of the Apps to iTunes because they are seen as older, and if I remove them from the iPad I can no loinger install them as I can't run iOS 6 on the iPad.
    This is madness and very poor design by Apple whereby their closed management tools (iTunes) cannot actually manage a situation they have crerated themselves.
    If I could at least identify which Apps in my library where iOS 6 only, I could feasibly try to locate these in my Time Machine backups and keep them manually backed up for my iPad, but Apple haven't even though tof allowing me to do this. Or perhaps they have in a hiddne feature somehow!!
    Does anyone know if there is a way to identify Apps that only support iOS 6?
    Even if this required a terminal search for a string within .plist files or something.
    Help, my iPad is losing functionality by the day...
    Thanks

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • HT4628 My MacBook pro has suddenly stopped connecting to Internet and says that "no air port card installed". Please help

    It was working all ok until last night, just tried connecting through cable but I am still unable to do so. How do I fix this? Any help?

    What do you mean by "tried connecting through cable"?  I can think of two different things you might mean.
    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • When you block someone's number, what do they see/hear when they try and contact you? Do they know that they are blocked?

    When you block someone, do they get a message, etc saying that their number is blocked?

        That's a wonderful question, deedra_lynn. They caller would receive a message similar to this " "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, the wireless subscriber you are trying to reach has restrictions enabled that is preventing this call from going through." I appreciate you taking advantage of the call and message blocking feature. We're here if you have any additional questions.

  • When i try to install new software on my macbook pro it asks me for a password and i enter evry password i know and theyre not working. what are my options?

    Thnx for any help.

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password.
    Select Apple menu > Restart from the menu bar.

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

    I did checked the earphone there same time and found that I can't lower or high the volume from that new purchased earphone and even asked why and one of your senior staff said it might be the problem of my ipod shuffle's setting, Since the beginning of the time of purchase till I came to Nepal 4 days ago I didn't use the ipod because I'm not able to increase the volume and I didn't took my laptop with me while my visit there ...
    But when I try to restore my shuffle here ; even that doesn't works ... Today and yesterday when I checked my friend's earphone of ipod - it was working on my shuffle and my earphone also working in his classic ...

  • Is there ANYONE in BT who knows what they are talk...

    I switched from Virgin to BT joining BT on 02/11/2013, on that day I phoned up and spoke to a representative about keeping my old number. I was told this is no problem and it will automaticaly be done. Few days went by and I had no confirmation, I have now possibly been speaking to 30 different representatives, who all told me a different story, one told me that it is categoricaly in no way possible to keep a Virgin number on BT lines, I spoke to Virgin who is still keeping the number open for BT to port but they have had no communication from BT regarding this, I have spoken to Managers, Supervisors from Scotland to Manila, then finaly the email came we are changing your number to (the number I requested to keep from Virgin) with a follow up email to say "Where all done" Brilliant I thought, I rang my old Virgin Nmber only to find it is not ringing on my BT line, so I checked on MyBT, to find that BT successfully changed my number to a number which I did not request, who knows where they sucked that number from. So back to the rigmaral toing and froing, I think I must have spent at least 60 hours of my time to try and find someone who can help me to date I have not received any calls from a manager who I can discuss this farse! 
    So on 28/11/2013 the engineers came to install, he was digusted when I explained the whole story and told me this should have been done prior to instalation. So more hours spent in trying to get someone who know what they are talking about, emails, chats and calls, but nothing. Then last night finaly someone who was prepared to take some action and get this sorted great I thought now it will be done, BUT NO!!!!! tonight I get a call saying that I can not keep the number because it is at a different exchange, keeping in mind that Brierly Hill who my BT number is with is in Stourbridge and this is where I live and have been for the past 8 years, so I can not keep a number that is in the same house, the person kept telling me that this ca not be given to me at my new address and the more I explained I have not moved house and that Brierly Hill is in Stourbridge my line is an 01384 area code and the number I want is 01384, so I asked him to renumber me to a BT number in the Stourbridge exchange so that my Virgin number can be ported but this was obviously not in his grasp, I just can not believe that Virgin has been more helpful about this and that BT believes themselves to be so big that a simple request and these are the only words "I would like to keep my Virgin Number 01384 xxxxx" How can such a simple request turn into such a horible mess, so if there is actualy anyone who knows what they are talking about could they please contact me, surely I am not the only person to switch from Virgin to BT requesting to keep their number, I just wish I could afford the £600.00 I was toldI will have to pay if I cancelled my account immediately, well I guess 18 Months is not that long, then I will be free from the most ignorant organisation I have ever had the displeasure to have dealt with and I will post this on every forum I can find to warn off people who are thinking of joining BT, Virgin Sucks but be assured BT is multitudes worse!!!!!

    So I was told last night that the "Special Cases Team" will be contacting me today, have they HECK NO!!!! does a team like that actually exist? My guess is probably not! So I will try and forget about it for tonight and then tomorrow I will try and contact someone in this mysterious department, the one that deals with such complex issues as "I am moving from Virgin Media, I would like to keep my Number" This is such a complex request that it take a "Special Cases Team", well that is if it actually exists, to deal with such a case. So I now understand that my Virgin Number exists in the Stourbridge Telephone Exchange, so my question to BT Management is why allocate me a number from the Brierly Hill Exchange, when it quite a simple check, there are several websites that will tell you what exchange your number originates from, and when I asked this simple request to keep my number. I was told that BT can not give me that number at the Stourbridge Exchange because of my address, so my question is how on earth can Virgin allocate me a number at the Stourbridge exchange for the same address where I lived for the past 8 years? Well I am getting tired of this situation, but I will not give up until this is resolved, so let us see how long BT will leave me with a perfectly useless phoneline and how many more important appointments I will miss because, even I am not sure what number I have now, afterall BT has only been notified on 02/11/2013, not bad handling of a simple request he, and to date not one customer relations member of staff could be bothered to contact me, never mind a manager, mind you do those actually exist or are they working on how to cause most headaches for new customers and ensure that they cancel their contract at the soonest possible date!

  • HT5188 Nearly every time I buy a VPP app and download the spreadsheet there are multiple redemption codes that say that they are invalid!  HOW can a code I am getting directly from apple be invalid!!!!!!!!  Seems like your system has A LOT of flaws.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
