Turn off unwanted txt msgs from verizon advertisers!!

Okay, this is getting ridiculous - Verizon's advertisers are sending me more and more txt messages.  How do I get them to stop??

I simply go to the MyVerizon home page. Mine is listed below.
I then click "Manage Privacy Settings" to get to the following page.
I then select make all of my selections to share a little of my information as I would like.

  • When I send txt msgs from my phone the message shows on the recipients phone as if it came from my gmail account. What causes this? I'd like to correct this because when I receive their reply it sometimes shows up as an email.

    I go into Messages there is a Send & Receive selection.  My email address
    is showing.  I select Send & Receive and mu phone and email address is
    there.  A check mark is next to my email address.  Is this the problem?  I
    was unable to remove my email address.  I tried to remove my email address
    but the response is "This email address could not be removed."
    Thank you for your response.  I will stand by for your next request or
    instructions.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    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?)

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • Can you child lock your iphone or ipad so they can't turn off a movie playing from itunes?

    can you child lock your iphone or ipad so they can't turn off a movie playing from itunes?

    No. The only option is to actually prevent the child from being able to physically touch the device i.e. lock the child, not the device.

  • TS4006 How do I turn off Find My Iphone from my PC

    I downloaded the new IOS& software into my Iphone 5 and I was trying to set the switch controls to make it easier to retrieve Apple Radio. Anyhow, I have locked myself out of my phone because the switch controls will not allow any button to work on the Iphone screen. I want to reset Iphone to an earlier time but I cannot because I can't turn off Find My Iphone from my Iphone settings. Is their anyway to do this from my computer so I can reset my iphone?

    My problems is that the Settings App keeps crashing, so I cannot go into Settings to turn off Find My Phone.
    I need to Restore my phone to,hopefully, get Settings to work again.  But I can't do a Restore until I turn off Find My Phone, which I can't do because Settings keeps crashing. 
    Talk about a vicious circle.  
    I went into iCloud/Find My Phone on my laptop and removed my phone.  I then went to iTunes to try a Restore but it STILL says I have to turn off Find My Phone.  I have done that three times now.
    Should I also take the step "Erase My Phone?"  I have a great  fear of doing that because what happens if I erase the phone and it STILL won't restore?  Then I'll be totally screwed.
    This all started because I updated to 7.1 yesterday. 
    Thanks, Apple!

  • HT4847 Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    When you switch to iTunes backups, the device will start to make any further backups to iTunes on your computer. It will only do this when it is connected to iTunes and a power source. (If it is set to sync/backup wirelessly, it will only do so when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network)
    When you switch back to iCloud backups, it will basically resume where it left off and start to back up once again to iCloud. There is no moving of backup files between iTunes and the cloud when you switch between backup options.

  • Turn off apple remote control from my macbook pro

    How can I turn off my remote control from remoting both apple tv and myc macbook pro at same time. I just want to remote my apple tv.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want, you can disable the IR port in order to be able to stop control your computer with the Apple Remote. To do it, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Advanced, and mark "Disable remote control infrared receiver"

  • Reports of Text Msg from VERIZON re: ICS coming  -- anyone else?

    Being reported in the MotoRazr Maxx forum - users supposedly getting a TEXT msg frmo Verizon re: ICS 4.0 coming :
    The message started out:
    Your phone will soon be upgraded to Android 4.0.  At that time we will remove your Verizon Wireless Mobile IM app because it is not supported on Android 4.0.  Please download a new instant messaging app...  snip ...
    Anyone else getting this?

    I REALLY wish VZN would include some base FREE Text Messaging as part of all these changes coming up to their plans and ICS ..  Something like 25 Free Text Msgs per month ...  Reason being is that I have Unlimited Data right now (not using more than 1GB per month) and no Texting Plan ... so I get nickled & dimed by SPAM Texts that I get every month. (I don't want to turn OFF SMS because I get/send valid MSGS from time to time, just not many.)

  • Can I turn off GSM radio of my Verizon iPhone 5?

    So My Verizon iPhone 5 runs on the CDMA network, but it also has GSM unlocked capabilities.
    I know that it comes with a Verizon SIM for roaming internationally, which I'm not interested.
    I have an international sim from my home country, which I use when I go home. It works perfectly. When I'm back to the US, I take it off and I'm back to CDMA on Verizon.
    My question is - is there a way to eliminate this SIM switching steps? I mean, when I'm in the US, I'd like to turn OFF the GSM radio so I use Verizon's CDMA. But when I travel, I'd like to turn it ON to activate the SIM card and use the GSM. Right now, if I have the SIM card inside the iPhone 5 when I'm in the US it will overide my CDMA signal and will pick the GSM signal (in roaming from my home country). I have to take it off everytime I'm back in the US, which it's not nice.
    Any chance this is possible? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    To expand on what Tim said, the iPhone 5, to work on Verizon's network requires that the Verizon 4G LTE SIM be installed in the phone. The SIM that came in your Verizon iPhone 5 is not a GSM SIM for roaming internationally.
    The Verizon iPhone 4S comes with a Vodafone GSM SIM for international roaming. The SIM slot is not required on the 4S for Verizon's 3G CDMA network.

  • HT201210 cant restore my ipad from itunes after updating latest ios.  message tells me to turn off 'find my ipad' from my ipad, but I can't because the set up is not complete without the restore.  What do I do?

    I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge.  The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad.  I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored".  Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.".  I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!!  I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......

    I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
    Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want  to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

  • Possible to turn off bluetooth & wifi radios from Vista?

    Anyone seen a utilty that will allow you to turn off the wireless and Bluetooth radios from Vista as you can do in Leopard to preserve power?

    Go to start menu, write "Device Manager" at the bottom and select it in the search-results. Once there browse to whatever you want to enable/disable, right-click and select "disable".
    (don't disable graphics or other important stuff.. windows has no protection from stupidity
    On a PC you usually have a physical button on your laptop for switching on/off the Bluetooth or wifi radio, but all that usually does is disable the driver, so the above should work just as well.

  • Bought a new phone and now I can't turn off FindMyPhone or iCloud from the other device.

    I'm trading in my old phone and need to clear my personal info from it and turn off FindMyPhone before I do so. I've looked up how to turn off FindMyPhone, but it keeps telling me that it can't connect to iCloud or that my password/username is incorrect. Can I just restore my phone to the factory settings to clear everything off the phone? If not, can you help me with with getting my old device where it needs to be so I can turn it in?

    After hours of working to reset my phone, I finally was able to turn off FindMyPhone and reset it. Sorry, I don't know how to delete my previous question.
