TS2755 I want to remove imessage completely--how can I do this? This is a terrible feature for parents who need to monitor usage.

Hi - I am a parent who needs to know when and who my child is texting . Imessage is a terrible feature that I want to remove or at least block.  What can I do to remove this so that my child doesn't have it as an option?

To turn Messages off, you'll need to turn it off in the Messages setting, and then set up Restrictions and disallow changes to accounts. Otherwise your child can just turn it right back on.  For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
This presumes that your iPhone is running iOS 6. The option to disable Messages is not present in iOS 5, if my memory is correct.
Regards.

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • TS2755 Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7 I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago to iOS 7. Ever since I did that I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this???

    Try powering the iPhone off and back on. If that doesn't help, go to Settings -> General -> Reset and reset the Network Settings. Reports are that one of those two steps have cured problems with iMessages for many people.

    AirPort Utility is required if you need to set up or change the settings on an Apple AirPort router.  It is not required if you are simply connecting to the wireless network from a PC.

    how can i fix this accessory is not optimized for this iphone you may experience noise caused bycellular interference and a decrease in cellular single strenght error in my new iphone4

    Hello abyjohn,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker

  • I had an App on MacBook Air which would cause my computer to be locked. I delted it and reinstalled the App again from the AppStore. Now I am being charged again for the same App. How can I correct this issue and get refund for the double billing?

    You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
    Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I purchased and downloaded a full album on itunes today, when i got home i updated my phone and lost it all, how can i get this music back without paying for it again

    Today while driving home from vacation i purchased and downloaded the new Nichleback CD, when i got home, i plugged my phone into my computer to update everything and it pulled up a message saying something like "this computer has recognized an iPhone that is in memory update, you will need to restore the phone" or something similar to that, it had a picture of the power cord plugging into iTunes on the screen and i couldn't get rid of it, so i had to plug it in and restore everything, when it was done i noticed that not only did i loose the new CD that i had just purchased today but i lost all of the music that i've purchased since the last update. How can i restore this music without purchasing it all again?

    Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
    In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • I partially downloaded microsoft office to my mac. Its has really affected my mac and I want to remove it completely, I can't find it anywhere to remove it, please can someone help

    Hi. I partially downloaded microsoft office for mac, It has really affected my mac and I need to get rid of it completely. I cant find it anywhere to remove it. Please can someone help???

    How can a partially downloaded program affect your computer? If you don't find it in the Download folder or wherever you download to, then it's not on your computer.

  • My friend's boyfriend is able to check her iMessages.  How can he do this?

    Topic.
    And how can it be prevented?
    She is scared because she is planning to leave him, and I am helping her formulate a plan on how to do so (in the form of finding her an apartment, etc.).  He is an abusive guy (more mental than physical.... She claims there is lots of drinking, punching holes in walls, destroying possessions, and making threats of killing himself or others if she ever leaves) and she doesn't want him to follow her once she finally leaves.  In the mean time, any time I send her a message, he checks it from either his home computer or his phone (I'm not sure which) and knows exactly what I've said to her.
    Now he has threatened me with things like "ur done" and "ur finished" if I don't stop talking to her.
    Obviously, if the problem escalates, I will go get a restraining order and let the police handle it from there, but in the mean time, I would like to safely communicate with this girl and help her get her life in order for her eventual departure.
    I have an iPhone 5, she has an iPhone 4s, and he has an iPhone 4.  I don't know what their home computer is like (brand, model, operating system etc.).
    I know I'm using iOS6, not sure what his or her phones are using but I imagine they'd have upgraded as well.
    Only including this last bit of information in the off chance it helps.

    Thanks again, I do have one further question:
    How does he do this?  Can he check our text history from his computer?  Or is every text I send her popping up on his phone too for some reason?
    I want to go and check my history with her as well just to see exactly what he's seen us say to each other because she told me yesterday that he was able to read our whole text history (which I find highly unlikely - but I don't doubt it was more than the one text I sent her a couple days ago that drew our attention to the fact that he was monitoring our texting).
    Besides, I wouldn't mind finding that there was a way to access my text history online somewhere.  I'd feel more comfortable deleting private texts from my phone in the future that way.
    Thanks again in advance.
