TS4268 I want to use message without using imessage that only go to other iphone- ipad products. I want to reach others with other telephones than i- products. I go to setting- tap dissconnect i message - but no use. Apple products seem so difficult - onl
I go to Settings and want to dissconnect imessage- because imessage only can go between apple items like ipad and ipod. I want to be able to reach other s with other smartphones as well. What do I do ?
With an iPad you can't. At least not just with the native app. iPads do not support SMS messaging. you will need to look into alternate messaging apps from the app store, such as Text Plus.

Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.
The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks for your help.You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried. -
I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID. -
I know my network connection is fine and I've checked all the cable connections and my television is set to the correct input, but even though the remote beeps when I hit the button, I see nothing on the screen. The troubleshooting section in the setup guide says to make sure that Apple Tv is connected to my network by choosing Settings>General>Network. How do I do this? What do I need to do to get everything back? I've been using the Apple tv for a while now, and suddenly it's doing this.

iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Thank you.
Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes. -
Please help me. This seems to be an on-going problem but it seems Apple are yet to have fixed it.
I use my outlook calendar and my iphone and ipad but a problem keeps occurring when I sync.
If I have a recurring appointment, say 4pm on a Monday and enter it into outlook. When I later sync and re-sync either the iphone or ipad, it shows as 4pm in these devices but when you look back at outlook, the appointment has been re-sceduled to 3pm. It only happens with recurring appointment but it seems not all. It happens even when the initial calendar entry is put into outlook first. I have switched off i-cloud. Have tried changing the time-zone settings etc. but it is still happening. I have literally wasted hours on this and it is now driving me mad! Especially as the problem has been recorded preveiously from others and the glitch has still not been sorted. How can you expect the iphone/ipad to be taken seriously as a business tool when it has such a glitch?
There is also a similar problem with the iphone/ipad where the clocks go back and forward.
If someone techy from Apple happens to read my note, please please pease can you reply to let me know if a) there is a way round it, b) if not, when will it be fixed and c) if there is a way round it, please can you tell me exactly what settings I should have on my phone in terms of time-zones....
Thank youI have this same problem as well. Updates to recurring meetings reflect correctly on my desktop Outlook and through OWA, but my iPhone shows the original meeting time/date and the updated time/date.
My colleague has a Moto Q (Windows Mobile 6) and has the same problem....so, I'm guessing this is an Exchange Server problem.
I also found this thread with the problem on Windows Mobile:

I was sending messages to family but noticed that the names in the contact box were 'emergency' and not the contacts I was writing to. Can anyone explain this and how to amend it back to contact names, please?
First just try logging out and back in. Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
You might also try Trash It!
Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

How do I use iCloud so that it transfers photos from iPhone/iPad to computer, but not vice versa?
My iPhone tells me it has run out of storage and it is because of my photo/video storage. There are about 400 photos that are in my photo stream on my phone from my Mac that I don't need to be there. Is there a way to stop the transfer from my Mac to iPhone and iPad, but still have them automatically transfer from these devices back to my Mac? Help!
Photostream is different that iCloud backup, so whether or not it's backed up yet has nothign to do with you seeing her photos.
If her the photos are appearing in your photo stream, then you two are sharing an iCloud account for sharing photos.
On your daughter's device in Settings --> iCloud --> Account, which account is listed? It should be your daughter's AppleID (iCloud account). Photos should be turned on.
On your device, in the same location, your account should be listed.
There are multiple places where AppleIDs can be used, so be sure you're looking in the place I described above. -
hello all,
i wanted to post about a bug i am experencing on Messages app under os x mountain lion...
when someone tries to send me an imessage with a picture it only comes through to my iphone and ipad but not my laptop.. OR it will come through on my computer but not on my iPhone and iPad
This issue is intermittent it will basicly work when it wants to....
also upon closing imessage i get a message saying there is a file transfer in progress... when i review file transfers it shows any picture file that my friends have attempted to send to me but dont download.... It seems that the picture is trying to download but never does.
anyone else have this problem?Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac: Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out.
Sign out on the iPhone: Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out.
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

well, i have the ios7 and recently i updated it once more and now my father is recieving all my imessages on his ipad. How can i delete the messages off his ipad without physically deleting them myself? i do not understand why this is happening because he is not checked in the send and recieve section
You can't delete them without doing so on his iPad.
It's probably happening because you are sharing the same ID for iMessage. To prevent it, one of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.) -
Iphone 5 ios7 not using apple service
My IPhone 5 (32) with IOS7 stopped using the Apple Service for messaging. I confirmed my icloud account is setup in my phone. My other Iphone 4 (32) IOS7 is using service. They have different ICLOUD accounts.

My @.mac screen name works in messages but not AIM
I have been using a @.mac screen name for my AIM for years now and had no issues. It still works in messages but since iCloud I can seem to use it with AIM on a PC or iPad or iPhone, or any other messages app.
Well, I know that screen sharing works over the net so the first thing that comes to my mind is that maybe the ISP is blocking the port used for screen sharing. Is the iMac accessing the net through a router?

Hi everyone,
We have approx. 2000 iPad/iPhone, and I had to prepare them all one by one. I'm now tired of doing this and I would like to prepare them as fast as possible, using Apple Configurator.
Each iPad/iPhone is enrolled on our MDM (MobileIron). But to allow the enrollement, I have many steps to do before :
1. Update iOS
2. Transfer our company wallpaper
3. Pass the first settings screens (Language, Wifi, General Terms of Use etc.)
4. Change wallpaper + activate lockscreen code (for MDM)
5. Create an Apple ID (to assist user but especially to install Mobile Iron app via AppStore)
6. Install 6 different app from Appstore (free ones, no Volum Purchase)
7. Enroll user via MobileIron app
As I know, steps 1 to 4 are possible via Apple Configurator, but I don't know if profiles will be installed or not.
Step 5 is avoidable (I guess) but it's mainly to help users and to keep control on accounts.
Step 6 is THE part I would like to avoid, but I can't find how it's possible to install apps without and Apple ID.
Step 7 is not avoidable.
Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks
StevenHi Steven,
There are many ways to deploy iPads, and no one way is "the right way." They all have their pros and cons and are dependent on your deployment scenario. I've never used MobileIron, but I have used other MDMs and have streamlined a process that works well for us in our school district. Some MDM's have the ability to create enrollment profiles that could be installed using Apple Configurator (which would get rid of your Step 7 for enrolling into the MDM). Some MDMs also offer MDM enrollment by logging in to a website and downloading an enrollment profile wirelessly, which would also get rid of Step 7 for you. Regarding Step 6… with Apple Configurator you can install apps using one Apple ID (not requiring the end user to enter an Apple ID or password), but this requires the iPad(s) to be plugged in via USB to the provisioning computer. While app installation is technically possible wirelessly without Apple IDs, it requires an unsupported workaround that may or may not be possible with your MDM. Check with the MobileIron folks to see if they are aware of any workarounds and potential caveats.
A way to accomplish Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 would be to create an "image" of one iPad and restoring that image on all of your other iPads. This can be done with iTunes by creating an encrypted backup (which holds passwords and many other customized settings) and restoring it to each of your iPads. You can also use Apple Configurator to create a backup and restore that backup to each of your iPads. You can install configuration profiles with Apple Configurator as well as apps so that may save you some steps too (can't install configuration profiles with iTunes). You can also use your MDM to install configuration profiles once they are enrolled.
Our process starts with restoring an encrypted backup using iTunes, which also includes the installation of a few basic apps. This takes care of Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. For staff members, we have them enroll into our MDM using a bookmark/webclip that we include in our encrypted backup. They log in and install the enrollment profile onto their iPads wirelessly through the website. For students, we install an enrollment profile using Apple Configurator. This takes care of Step 7. For Step 5, we give staff members the instructions listed on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 . We are also able to deploy apps after deploying using a customized app store, a feature that our MDM provider has available.
Depending on the tools you have (MDM) and ownership model you choose I'm sure you will find the deployment process that will be most efficient for you and your users.
Hope this helps!

Just wanted to say Wow with LXDE
I just updated my Dell mini10 netbook's Arch install. I'm not sure which updated package made the difference, but WOW!
Before, Firefox, OpenOffice, and just about every other app had huge title bars and text in all of the menus, but after the update, EVERYTHING seems to be using smaller fonts.
Like I said, I'm not sure what fixed it, but it's definitely nicer.
Thank-you Arch team for all your hard work.http://goodbadandugly2.files.wordpress. … hamwow.jpg
