Verizon messages upgrade; sync to Xoom only over wi-fi?

I like the upgrade in the Verizon messages program, especially the ability to sync with the Xoom over wi-fi. But ... if you go that far, why not allow them to connect and sync over the Verizon network? Why only wi-fi?

I do NOT see my iOS devices in iTunes when they are unplugged.
On the iPhone - Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync - the Sync Now button is gray.
All i see is the following text:
Automatically sync with iTunes on your computer when your iPhone is plugged in to power and connected to Wi-Fi.
Sync will resume when my MacBook Pro is available.
However, Both devices are set up to the same Wi-Fi Network, both devices have the latest software installed. OS X 10.6.8 for SL, iTunes 10.5, and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
When i plugged it into the computer, the device showed up, and it synced. The "Sync Now" button then turned black and showed it as being connected at that point, but now it is unplugged again, and it is back to the gray button.

  • If turned on verizon messages to sync you messages and you don't want it anymore, where can I go to turn it off or delete it?

    If turned on verizon messages to sync you messages and you don't want it anymore, where can I go to turn it off or delete it?

    Where did you "turn it on"?  Computer?  Tablet?  Phone app? 
    On the phone app, open messages, go to the three bars top LEFT corner, scroll down to Settings, then Manage devices to un-sync with tablet(s) or computer(s).  If you don't want to use the app, then disable or uninstall it and go back to the stock app or another of your choosing.

  • Verizon messages app doesn't work over wifi....

    Hello, all,
    Until recently, I used the verizon messages app to send/receive texts over wifi on my gs3 when I had no cellular/data reception.  Now it will only send/rec when there's cell reception.
    But...the app does still work over wifi onmy galaxy tab 2 7.0.
    Why could this be?  Did a recent app update break txt over wifi for the gs3?
    Thanks!
    Abe

    This does NOT work on the Galaxy S3.
    Airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, No network mode is available in Airplane mode.  So...only wifi is available.  When I try to send a text with only wifi available I get "Network not available.  The message will be sent when the network is available"
    BUT...On my Galaxy Tab 2 (non-verizon), This DOES work.  On the tab 2 with only wifi available, I CAN send text messages using Verizon Messages.
    So....again...
    On Galaxy Tab 2 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES work.
    On Galaxy S3 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES NOT work.
    Please fix Verizon Messages to work over WiFi using Galaxy S3.
    Thanks,
    Abe

  • HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

  • When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed

    When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed with sync. 

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

    It's because you must have sent some information like you must have clicked on Submit button to perform any query. So when you will click on back button it will again send this info.
    So, right click on Back button and choose 2nd site from the top of the list to go to previous page.

  • How do I import or sync gmail contacts with verizon messaging?

    I am setting up verizon messaging on my laptop and missed the opportunity to import my gmail contacts. Is there a way to go back and import these contacts?

        Hi Granto,
    I am so excited to hear that you are using Verizon Messages! Verizon Messages uses your phone’s address book and contact list. It doesn’t generate a unique address book. To improve your messaging experience you can sign up for the Back Up Assistant(sm) service that allows you to back up all contacts from your primary smartphone to the Verizon Cloud. This will allow for your contacts to be synced on Verizon Messages on your tablet, PC,and web http://vz.to/1j3aYBq . Are these gmail contacts appearing on your phone?
    Thanks,

    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
    and 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. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • Why won't Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

    I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on.  There is no cellular service to this particular device.  It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch.  When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present.  I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had.  I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service.  Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for?  I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

    According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
    Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
    It states "
    Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
    I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
    The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

    Can anyone help please?

    Sorry that you got such a hassle. Try this. I don't have Acrobat 9 per se, but I have the TCS2 and found the following.
    Run Regedit (all the serious warning apply here. Look but don't touch).
    Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNINE->SOFTWARE->Adobe->Repair->Adobe Acrobat->9.0->IOD Look under the entry under SERIAL.
    Maybe it works maybe it doesn't. But it might help.

  • Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging  on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

    Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
    THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

    Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

  • How do I get contact names to appear in the Verizon Messages browser version?

    Hey Guys,
    I just got the S5 and was giving the Verizon Messages app a shot since Mighty Text is acting a little wonky with Kit Kat and won't sync outgoing browser texts with the phone. With the VZW Messages app sending and receiving texts from my phone and browser works fine but I wanted the contact names to show up in the browser window. I figured Verizon was pulling the data from the cloud storage and not directly from the phone so I synced my contacts with vzw cloud but it only synced 35 out of my 350 contacts. They all originated from Google Contacts and seamlessly imported to my new phone from my old one.
    Any ideas?

        Having the ability to access your contacts via Verizon Messages is very important JoeVoorhees. I am happy to inform you that with Verizon Messages, you do have the ability to import your contacts. To do this, simply sign into your Verizon Messages online>on the upper right hand side>click on menu>manage contacts>import contacts>on the top right hand side of the page you will see a picture of your phone and sync. Click on sync.
    Thank You,

  • "iTunes has stopped working" error message during syncing

    I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and just started to download Podcasts. But now I get the error message during syncing....almost everytime. Is there a solution out there or update that I haven't downloaded??

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Why is the Verizon ellipsis 8 not compatible with verizons messaging app

    Love to understand why the Verizon texting app is not compatible with the ellipsis 8 ? I bought this Tablet to replace my old Samsung Galaxy tablet that died from over use. I was told this tablet was a very comparable it is not. Texting has to be linked to a smart phone (another purchase) ellipsis has it own number and should support it own texting
    What up with this??  As I see it just another marketing ploy

  • Verizon messaging and integrated messaging

    I had the app on my old phone with integrated messaging. When I got a new phone the integrated messaging wasn't working anymore. When I looked at all the stuff I figured out I had to download the messages app to my new phone, so I did. When I did it asked me if I want to use this as my default (on my Verizon phone) I said no and it kicked me out and won't let me go any further. The integrated messaging is still not working. Also when I get it to work I don't want my old messages on my new phone. How do I prevent that? Will they only show up in the Verizon app or will they show up in the factory text app that came with the phone as well?
    Thanks

    It integrates automatically supposedly.  Just takes over as the default app and then you can also use the desktop version or any other device with V messages and access across devices.  When you set it up you can go to your registered devices, either on the phone or on the desktop or web app and edit those devices, taking off or removing your old phone.  From this link you can get the android app, desktop app, and access the web app.  Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
