TS4268 I have completed all the instructions to get iMessage to work on my iphone to no avail.  Including restoring networks, rebooting, etc.  Interesting thing though, it works on my ipad.  What's next for me to try?  Iphone 4S

Since upgrading to iOS7 lastest update, I cannot get text messages on my iphone.  I've completed all the instructions I could find to get this to work.  Any other suggestions?

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

    My phone randomly shut off. When I turned it back on it said it needed to restore, to plug it into itunes. When I did, and tried to restore it, it failed with a code 21. I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all that the steps told me to, I've updated everything in my computer. I don't know what else to do. My phone will just show the apple sign and the itunes plug in sign.

    Hi msclaude,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • I have followed all the instructions for setting the font size,but it remains very tiny (6 or 8 point). Why?

    Though the font on the desktop and email programs is fine (14 or 16 point), on the google sedarch pages or any websites that are accessed via Firefox, it is tiny. What's wrong? How can I make things more legible? I am working on a laptop and followed all the instructions given in DISPLAY.
    Thanks for any advice.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • HT4352 I have followed all the instructions on home sharing and it used to work perfectly.  With the new apple OS upgrade my apple TV now longer sees anything, even though I I applied all home sharing settings again.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I am trying to get home sharing to work on the applie tv and its not working after a Mac OS update.  It has not worked for about a month and use to work fine.  Has anyone else experienced this problem.  Is Apple working on a fix for the problem?  Is there a work around?
    Thanks,
    Anthony

    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • HT1212 I have followed all the instructions listed above, but I have not been successful with unlocking my iPod. It is currently disabled due to a forgotten passcode. Are there any additional options that I have to unlock my iPod touch?

    Are there other alternatives to unlock my iPod touch and reset my passcode? I have followed all instructions posted and my iPod is still disabled. Can anyone provide recommendations on this matter?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • TS4268 I have done all the activation steps for Face Time on Iphone 5C and it still wont go through. I can see the person calling anf then it says call did not connect.

    My Facetime in settings is turned on and accurately displayed, Wifi is turned on, etc. I see call coming in but it wont connect.

    What iOS version is on your phone? If not iOS 7.1.1, update your phone. This is a known issue, & the only fix is to update your iOS. Also applies to all you are trying to FaceTime with.

  • TS3992 I'm trying to switch over to my new iPhone and every time I get to the point of inputting my icloud details, a message appears stating no backup available. I have followed all the instructions detailed above but no success. I've been trying to for

    Loosing patience :
    I've tried for 2months to switch over to my new 4s, but every time I enter my apple ID to retrieve backup from icloud. I'm informed no back up available.
    Given tried for 2months, I'm tempted to bin it and get an alternative phone.

    As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.
