I had the same question and problems. I tried the on and off thing, didn't work. I have an iphone 4 and it too doesn't show caller ID option in the Messages settings.
CallerID options are not in Settings> Messages. and that has nothing to do with how your messages are sent.
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive at and tick your phone number.
If you cannot see Send & Receive at, then you do not have iMessage set to On and you will only send/receive at your phone number.

    Apparently cookies was turned off in Safari. I rarely use it so I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, turning them on seems to have cured the problem.

  • Why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message ?

    Hi all FCE experts,
    May I ask why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message when I tried to overwrite or replace a clip ?
    Ok,this is what happen:
    I have a clip A (4 secs) followed by clip B (4 secs). Then in between I add a video transition.
    After a while, I reckon I want to change clip B with another clip (say clip C). So, I went to brower & search for clip C which is 2 mins long clip. To make sure there are enough handles, I went to the centre mark an In point then 4 sec later mark an Out point. So I drag this clips C of 4 secs from the Viewer (I marked the In & Out point in the viewer) to the Overlay canvas & do an Overwrite but it says "Insufficent Content for Edit".
    I then tried Replace also got the "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message.
    I then tried to delete the video transition and repeat the above for overwrite and replace, both times I got the same error.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    From your description there is no way either of these things should happen. Without seeing it I would guess there is something else going in your timeline or your clip which you're not telling us. *Perhaps there are I/O pints marked in the timeline*. Or the destination tracks are not set correctly. or something else.
    Thanks Tom, you are correct.
    I have In Point & Out Point marked on the Timeline. I used it when I did FILE > EXPORT and left it there. But once I cleared it, I am able to replace it with another clip.
    But I am still puzzled as to why I cannot do any overwrite or replace when there is I/O points marked on the Timeline ? Especially when the section of clips I wanted to overwrite or replaced are located outside of the I/O points ?
    Thanks

  • HT4623 why cant i continue my phone usage after updating without a sim card

    why cant i continue using my iphone 4 after an update with out having a sim card

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't use any cellphone without a SIM (except for CDMA phones which don't use SIMs at all). What is your exact situation? Do you mean that you have been using your iPhone as an iPod and now after the update it's requiring activation? If that's what you mean, then you will need a valid SIM, for the cell carrier your iPhone is locked to if it is locked, so you can re-activate the iPhone. You don't need active service with the carrier, though.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further.
    Regards.

  • I cant make or receive calls or texts. already paid plan. why cant i use my phone

    i just got an lg cosmos 3 and i ported my old number. but i cant make or receive calls. i cant send or receive texts either. i dont understand why.

    It can take up to a few days for ports to complete and all functions become available with your new service.  Is your old phone turned off? (You can remove the battery to be sure it is completely off and disconnected from the old carrier.)

  • Why cant i take my phone out of restore mode?

    So I got what i though was an update for my iphone which said it was 7.0.6, and i clicked on it to update. Everything was going usual, but it then showed an image of the itunes logo, and i think it was indicating for me to plug my phone into my computer. I did this and a pop up came up saying itunes had detechted an iphone that was in restore mode. I clicked on the option to restore my iphone, and it states that it is "restoring the software"  but after a few minutes it just says that an error had occured and that it could not restore my iphone. is there anything i can do to fix it?

    What do you see for Model?
    If the phone says its software is up to date it is probably an iPhone 4 and not a 4S.

  • Why cant I order a phone line

    Have just moved into a new flat, tried to order phone. BT tell me someone else has registered a phone already from my flat this is impossible as flat is new build.
    BT refuse to tell me who service provider is for this line so I cannot contact them to sort this out.
    So I am stuck without phone. Have phoned BT twice today only to be told we know the provider but won't tell you, even it this is fraud.
    What can I do

    Hi apple123,
    plainview certainly wasn't accusing you of anything, just pointing out that we can’t tell you who owns the line, for the account’s security.
    Did you want your services with us or another provider? If with us, please use our "Contact us" form to forward your details to us, so we can look into this further for you.
    You can get the form by clicking on my username, and it's under "About me" (top-left of my profile page).

    Why Can't I sync my iphone or ipad with my computers?

    What are you experiencing? Does your computer see your iPad? Or does iTunes see it? Or is there no response at all?
    Knowing more of what you're experiencing can help make suggestions to fix it.
