The only person my mother's iphone 4 is unable to send text to.  She can receive my texts from android.

My mother has an iphone4; she is able to receive texts from me (android samsung galaxy s5) but I am unable to receive her texts.  I notice my phone number appears odd when my texts come in to her... we've deleted contacts and re-added.  She is able to text back and forth from my husband with his android without problem. ideas?

Try deleting your contact from her iPhone4 (but don't re-add it back).  Also delete her contact from your Galaxy.  Send her a text and see if she can reply.  If that works, the problem has to do with the nature of your contact info; try adding the contacts back, one at a time, supplying minimum information, testing each time.

  • On my daughters iPad mini she can not send messages. She can receive them but the send button stays light gray after you type a message. It worked when we first set it up but now it does not. Tried resetting and logging out and back in. With no change.

    I can not send messages on an iPad mini the send button stays light gray and will not send. I can receive. I reset and logged out and back inn with no results. It worked fine when we first set it up. Any suggestions?

    Hello iMessage issues 1234,
    Thank you for the details of the issue your daughter is experiencing with sending messages on the iPad.  It sounds like you might have the Subject Field turned on. To disable this go to Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field.

    If the Subject Field is not enabled but messages are still not sending, I recommend continuing with the following article:

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?

    Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?  At one entry I use just my Apple ID (not an email) and it goes through.  At another entry it requires the entire email.   ??

    Probably not, but I suspect you didn't read the user guide, and will be one of the people who come later ranting to this forum about issues that are clearly covered in the said guide.

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

  • Am I the ONLY person who's angry that mobile hasn'...

    Hello.  Am I the ONLY person who's angry that my mobile hasn't lasted for several years?  Am I the ONLY person who's had problems on and off throughout the last two years with his / her Nokia, AND had it replaced twice by Nokia Care, and now that it is out of warranty, require $292 to be repaired?                                                    
    Bought the Nokia 6110 on a typical 2 year plan 2 years ago, and it just hasn't ever been faultless.                
    But even though it kept going 'funny', at least I could use some of the features, and Nokia Care have replaced the 'innards' of it from Nokia Asia somewhere, which took ages,  And the 'loan fones' have been just aweful.  And 'no', the loan fones were not able to hold Contact numbers from the 6110.              
    But when my Nokia 6110 started to just 'drop out' and say "Insert SIM Card", I knew I had a big problem.  At first 'they' said it was because I didn't update the Nokia firmware upgrade properly.  Then they said ....................................................  Then they said I needed to get a new SIM card from my Telco because some times the SIM cards "go bad".
    However yesterday Nokia Care finally dropped the 'big one' - my fone can be repaired for $292.  That's almost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.  Tell me, how much is a new Nokia.
    Oh, and I am STILL waiting to hear from Nokia Care about when I can go back and pick up my 'dead' phone.
    Did I tell you my 2 year contract ran out three months ago?  Did I tell you I now can get another fone, with whichever Telco I chose, and I can pick any fone I want to go with another contact?   So like you, I am doing HEAPS of 'reviewing' of fones on every website I can find, and I am asking people, and doing FaceBook, and Twitter, and ...................
    And guess which brand I will not ever get again??  And guess which brand I am telling everyone about??
    Oh, and I have written quite a few times before to Nokia - and I am still waiting for a reply...............   That's what makes telling everyone how I feel SO much easier.
    Nokia, you have lost your 'edge'.  You care so much about 'selling', that you have forgotten its also about OWNING and SERVICING.  Gosh, you do it bad.  The products are hit-and-miss; your support is lousy; and your communication just sucks big time.
    Have a nice day.

    Hi Disappointed_Nk ,  
    Kindly take note that the boards here are for user-to-user support only.
    If you want to provide any feedback directly to Nokia, you should use the 'Contact us' link at the top of the page to contact your local Nokia team.

  • I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST M

    Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

  • HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard?

    Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

  • Is it possible to set my IPhone 5S to automatically backup to the Verizon cloud or to backup assistant. The only settings I see is where it will remind me to do. Can it be set to automatically do this, like my Droid did.
