Trying to send txt message says they don't have iMessage setup.

I tried to send a text message to a non apple device on my iPad. Will not let has name highlighted in pink with red ! Saying they don't have iMessage setup which they can't what do I do to send the a message?

Imessage falls back to SMS when it tries to send messages to non apple devices. That's because iMessage is an iOS only feature. Since your ipad doesn't have a phone number, it won't send it out to a non iOS device.
You would have to download a third party app that allows you to send text messages over data (I do believe some messangers let you do that as well as skype?)

    It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
    You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • When I try to open the latest version I get a message saying I don't have sufficient priveleges for some of them items

    I have version 6.0. I downloaded the latest version. When I move the icon to the applications folder I get a message asking if I wish to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message saying I don't have "sufficient privileges for some of the items."

    It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:

    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • HT1386 HELP!!! I cannot sync my iPhone to iTunes. The message says I don't have enough access privelages. And I cannot drag/drop any songs into my device. After updating, I have no music content on my phone. Please, can somebody tell me how to fix this?

    Can someone please help me? I cannot sync my phone with iTunes after updating the software, & my phone has no music. The message window keeps saying I don't have enough access privelages. It also won't recognize my new subscription to iCoud when I turn on iMatch in Settings. I have tried everything I can think of & am ready to throw this thing out of the window in frustration.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • I've downloaded the newest version 3 times and I'm still getting a message saying I don't have the lasted version. I can't open Pandora because of it. What am I missing?

    I've downloaded the newest version of firefox 3 times and am still getting message that I don't have a current version. I'm not able to open Pandora.com because of this. What am I missing?

    Hi cheryl28,
    It looks like your System Details say you are still on version 3. How have you been trying to update Firefox? Were there any errors during the update? You should look at [[Updating Firefox]] for details.
    You could also try going to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    # Download the full installer for 8.0.1 to your desktop.
    # Close Firefox. Be sure that it isn't still running in the background.
    # Run the installer and re-open Firefox.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • HT201328 Carrier says they don't have authorization to unlock my iPhone

    I live in canada and my current carrier is bell but they say they do not have authorization to unlock iPhones. What should I do? The reason I'm asking is because I know on apples site it says to contact your carrier to unlock the phone.
    Thanks in advance!
          -Andy Brown

    Its correct that Bell do not offer unlocking. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
    If that is their corporate policy there's nothing you can do about it.
    The decision whether to unlock or not is entirely up to the carrier. Apple can do nothing if the carrier won't authorize the unlock.

  • Can't download iOS 5 to my old iPhone 4 - I get an error message saying I don't have enough space on my computer, but I know that I do.  How can upload successfully?  Or can I hook up an external hard drive to ENSURE I have enough space? If so, how?

    I just tried to download the new iOS 5 software during my sync with iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4, however, I got an error message saying that I did not have enough space on my computer to continue (even though I am pretty sure I do).  It offered me the choice of deleting much of the media on my iPhone in order to continue, which of course I declined.
    How can I ensure that I have enough space on my computer to download the new iOS 5 software?  I don't want to delete anything on my computer and I have already defragged.  Can I just hook up an external hard drive which I am certain has enough space?  If so, how can I ensure that iTunes recognizes the external hard drive as the drive that it should be downloading the software to?
    Thanks

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • Can't update. Message says I don't have all permissions, yet have admin rights for imac running 10.5.8 & checked preference, security settings.

    Trying to update. When I drag ff icon to apps folder message says replace or stop. Answer replace, then message says can't complete as I don't have permissions. I have full admin rights for imac running 10.5.8. I've reviewed preferences & security settings, FF is set to accept all incoming connections. Not sure what else to check.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

  • When I Consolidate I Get A Message Saying I Don't Have Access Rights

    I just got a Macbook and I have music and video files on my old PC on both my hard drive and an old external hard drive (formatted NTFS). I am trying to consolidate all my videos and files to a new, larger and slimmer external hard drive (formatted FAT 32) so I can set up iTunes on my Macbook and start using that computer but while keeping the metadata in my songs (playcounts, ratings, etc.). I've followed the steps to set the default iTunes location on the new hard drive and began the consolidation process. It was working fine and about 2 GBs were consolidated into the new hard drive but then a message popped up saying that copying music failed because I don't have enough access privileges for this operation. Now I'm the only user on my PC and have admin rights assigned to me, so I'm not sure how this is possible.
    If anyone could help me with this error message, I would be much appreciative. I'm ready to get rid of this old PC junker and start using my Macbook!

    I was finally able to solve my problem and thought I'd post it here in case anyone else comes across this. A few years back, my hard drive crashed. I was able to recover my music files but I basically had to reinstall XP. When I did that, the music files that I saved were encrypted and "owned" by my old username. Since this username and permission file associated with it were now gone, any other user, including the admin or a username set up with the same username as the old one, could not unencrypt the folders with the music in it. So what I did was I opened Windows Explorer, navigated to my music folder, and found every artist folder that showed up in green on the screen, which indicates that the folder or file is encrypted. For every green folder, I created a temporarily created a new folder in my iTunes music folder with a similar name and copied the files from the encrypted folder into the new temporary folder. Then I deleted the encrypted folder and renamed the new folder the name of the just-deleted folder. Changing the name back to the just-deleted folder tricks iTunes into thinking nothing has happened with the files. Here's a little more detailed example:
    1) I opened Windows Explorer and saw that my "Black Crowes" folder was showing up in green, meaning that it was encrypted.
    2) I closed iTunes.
    3) I created a new folder in my iTunes music folder called "Black Crowes2". When I hit refresh in Windows Explorer it should should show "Black Crowes" and "Black Crowes2" right next to each other.
    4) I moved all the files from "Black Crowes" into "Black Crowes2"
    5) I deleted the empty "Black Crowes" folder.
    6) I renamed the "Black Crowes2" folder to "Black Crowes"
    7) Finally, I opened iTunes and consolidate. I was able to consolidate the Black Crowes folder as it is no longer encrypted and iTunes is tricked into thinking nothing has happened to the files.
    Of course, before you try all this you may want to try to make sure you use every username that is on your PC to see if that's the username that's associated with the encryption. You'll know that's the username that encrypted the files because the encryption box in the properties of the folder isn't grayed out (properties->general tab->click advanced.

  • Not sure if this is my phone or network that's the problem, but I keep getting messages saying I don't have any voicemails. Any help to make it stop will be appreciated!!

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with my phone or with Vodafone, but I am getting a message every minute to tell me I don't have any voicemails. I'm pretty sure it's not spam as it comes from my normal voicemail number and doesn't show as multiple messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's driving me mental!!

    voicemail is a carrier feature, not an Apple feature, contact your carrier.

  • Trying to download itunes keeps saying I don't have apple application support

    I am trying to download Itunes to a new computer error message that there is no apple application support!!  Any ideas??

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
