Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone
Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2) and my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.1.2). Then for several hours last nothing was deliverable unless to another iPhone or iPad. Today, once again, I can text to non-Apple friends from my iPhone but not my iPad. On the iPhone there are buttons for MMS & SMS messaging, but not on the iPad. What happened?
Thank you,
bobbi
I was having this problem today with my 6 plus and my air 2. Additionally, I kept getting the message that iMessage needed to be turned on to send my messages. It was turned on in both devices. I wonder if there was a problem at Apple. My carrier is t-mobile, perhaps there could be a problem there.

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?
Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?
You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

I have an iphone 5 prob sending texts to non-apple iphones.
i have an iphone 5. all working EXCEPT...can't seem to send texts to non-apple iphones. can anyone help or suggest what prob might be?
That has something to do with your carrier. If your phone is sending messages at all, it means your data is working fine, but if it's not sending just green SMS messages to non-iphones, you need to contact your carrier and let them know

Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase
Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase
iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.
iPad is not a phone and does not have SMS/MMS services from a carrier. There are apps that can do this, search the App Store. -

Can I text to none ios users from my ipad?
An iPad is not a phone and does not have built in Texting capability. You can iMessage other iPad, iPhone users but iMessages will not reach non Apple devices. There are some apps in the App Store that provide some level of text messaging. Search the App Store.

I have been trying to send my Non Apple friends/family messages from my I Pad. How do I get this to work??
It won't. iMessage isn't an SMS service. It's for Apple-to-Apple and uses cellular data. SMS uses a cellular SMS plan, which does not come with your iPad. You'd have to have a cell phone to send texts like that. Alternatively, you can find an instant messaging app like Skype (they do messaging, not just video chat) or MSN Messenger that goes across platforms. You install it, they install it, you can chat with them.

Remove non apple app from Launchpad
How do you remove a non Apple App from Launchpad without deleting it from the PC?
Place all of the non Apple apps into a folder within Launchpad.
At least... the non Apple apps won't be spread across Launchpad. -
I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely. -

I recently changed my apple id and both my iphone 3Gs and Ipad 2 when synced went straight back to my old id name for my app store how do I change it to the new one and keep it that way?
Try going into your account details on iTunes, change your info there, then sync your devices.

So when I plug my iPhone 3GS into my iMac, for music reasons, it says I have 123 songs. When I plug my iTouch into my iMac it says I have 565 songs on my iTouch. I have the same apple idea for both my iPhone and iTouch, how do I transfer my 565 songs on my iTouch to my iPhone? PLEASE HELP!!!
When you connect your iPad or iPod to the Mac, click on the device name in iTunes - don't click on the arrow on the device. Then click on the Music tab in the main window pane. Now you should see 'Sync Music' and all your playlists, artists and albums. Here you mark the checkboxes for what should be synced.

I use a web site called ACRIS- it allows me to access NYC Finance dept records- specifically images of deeds. Up until yesterday I had no problem. Then without any apparent reason I could access all parts of the site, but could not access the deed images. First I thought it was a problem on their end, which sometimes happens, but after waiting 24 hours I was still having the problem. Then I tried windows explorer and it worked without any problem. How do I fix this?
Hi jeffbeal,
First question I would ask is what has changed recently? Did you add any new extensions or add-ons?
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps! -

How do i get my apple ID to work from my old iphone 5 to my new iphone 6? what are the steps? as last time i tried this everything went wrong my imessage would not work and it would not let me sign in?
Try TransPhone, it's working fine, but a bit expensive...
After installing this, you'll Be able to send/recieve music, contacts, text messages, photos and Videos over bluetooth. Works fine with all mobile phones and computers...
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link
