TS4268 HOW DO I GET MY IMESSAGES TO MESSAGE A NUMBER ON MY ACCOUNT ON MY IPOD?

My son has imessage on his phone and his phone is on my account. How can I send him a message?

On your iPod go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and uncheck the phone number..
Best would be to on one device:
Create a NEW account/ID for here 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.

How do I get my imessage to use my number instead of my apple ID?

Since I updated to iOS7 both my iMessages and Facetime doesn't work. They say, "Waiting for activation...". Most of the people that text have iPhones, and they all have iMessaging but me. I have another concern with my apps, they aren't telling me when I have notifications. And lastly I dont have Siri. Can someone help me with all of this?

Here are a few articles that helped us:

How do you get your imessage to activate

How do you get your imessage to activate on your phone number and not your email

Okay, you're on a popular network. (Some prepaid providers have issues)
I'm on 3 Austria, iMessage is working fine here, so you may want to talk to 3 for any tips.
Have you tested to see if FaceTime is working? If it is, try re-activating iMessage.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you aware it only syncs iMessages. Also once enabled only new messages will sync, try messaging the user from the Mac and see if that gets things going for you.

My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6. I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes. All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.
