Voice mail and a separate answer machine

To ensure that your messages stay on your personal answering machine, set the number of rings on the Comcast VM system at least 2 HIGHER than your personal answering machine. Example: Personal set to 4 tings, Comcast VM set to 6 rings. You can edit the number of rings of the Comcast VM system by going here: https://pf.connect.comcast.net/ Click on VOICECLick on Call ForwardingEdit the number of rings of your home number.

Can I use the Xfinity voice mail feature even if I have a separate answering machine hooked up?

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do i get it to work? all i see when i click the voice mail icon is the accept/decline for visual voice mail and that says theres a charge?

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do I set it up? When I click on the voice mail icon all I see is the accept/decline agreement for Visual Voice Mail and it said something about charges will be applied on my bill so I declined.

Your Basic voice mail is a free required program for you if you do not want Basic Visual Voice mail (free) or Premium which is a paid service. Basic Voice Mail set up is free and easy to do.
1. Sign in to your My Verizon online account.
2. On left side of page in Blue letters find the drop down menu. Click to open menu then go to change features and locate Basic Voice mail and click the Red add button.
3. When you're done making this change click next at the bottom of the screen and then ok.
4. Now go into your device and set up your Basic voice mail program. You may continue to receive an error message for a period of time “Visual voice mail update”, just clear and disregard.

Is there a way to hear voice mail and see text messages online?

My Stratosphere fell to the floor last night, and I can no longer see the display. Nothing I or the Verizon support guy could do today restored the display. The phone has rung but touching the screen to answer it does not work. I have purchased a new Stratosphere on e-Bay - I don't trust the locals to repair the phone properly - but there'll be a few days until I can get phone service again. Is there any way to access voice mail and text messages through the Verizon website or another phone during this period?

If there are people with whom you are expecting to exchange text messages, you can contact them to let them know of your plight by sending an e-mail to their text message address. For instance, [email protected] or [email protected] Of course you have to limit the message to text-message length.

I have imac, macbook, ipad2, 2 iphone 4s and I want to share music, iphoto and apps between all the devices but keep e-mail and contacts separate and use icloud. How can I do that?

The ID for iTunes must be the same on both devices for it to automatically download purchases made on the other phone.
For example, if you have been using [email protected] for iTunes, continue to do so. One of you could also use [email protected] for their iCloud account and the other one use [email protected] for theirs, alternatively you could use [email protected] and [email protected] for the two separate iCloud accounts.

Please remove the trial Visual voice mail and restore the basic voice mail functionality.

To Disable Visual Voice Mail
Sign in to your My Verizon online account. On left side of page find the drop down menu.
Click to open menu, then go to change features and locate Basic Visual Voice mail.
Locate the button Basic Visual Voice Mail and click the Red Remove Box.
Scroll down until you see the listing: Basic Voice Mail, Visual Voice Mail etc. and click the Red Add box by Basic Voice Mail to add on this service.
When you're done making changes click next at the bottom of the screen and then ok.
Go into your device and set up your required Basic voice mail program. You may continue to receive an error message “new voice mail update" for a period of time”. Hope this helps, GalaxyClass

Hello Ammar,
As per the error you required more memory for ESE module to work, you have only 512MB memory. Now I assuem you configured on Service-Module right ? It will work fine without any issue.
Next for your voicemail not working can verify that you have configured the SIP dial-peer to reach the Voicemail tiggered phonenumber i.e. 700 in your case.
dial-peer voice 101 voip
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:192.168.130.101

Voice mail and online number

I have set up voice mail for my account; then bought an online number. When I called my online number from my iPhone, it did not answer with voice mail. Do I have to set up a NEW voice mail for my new online number?

Have you tried this.
First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Go into your account from your computer not your mobile and check on accounts. On the top there is a voice mail icon. Click on the icon and it will tell you if your voicemail is enabled. if not you can enable it then.
If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.
Thank You!

Voice mails and calendar invitations going to junk mail

We are running our own exchange server. I believe it's Exchange 2013. I work more on the client side support of things right now so I am not going to have all the answers when it comes to server details.
I can, however, tell you that the affected users span multiple OUs and access levels so there truly is no pattern to discern from their credentials.

Hello Spicy peeps!
We use Office 2013 in our environment and I have had several users (no rhyme or reason) recently complain that some of their incoming correspondence is getting dumped into the Junk folder. For some, this is voice mails. For others, it's calendar invitations. There is no pattern to the users affected or the items affected. Obviously, we have tried the route of marking them "Not Junk." This has not worked to resolve the problem.
Have any of you seen this before? Any known fixes?

How to reinstall Mail and itunes from Time Machine backup

My Mac Pro is running slow and AppleCare have advised to do a clean install of 10.6.6
All my files are backed up and I have done a TM backup. I want to be able to reinstall Apple Mail with all my family email and business email accounts & emails in it and also iTunes with all music and podcasts.
Is there any way I can do this directly from a back up of Time Machine without having to reinstall the whole thing once my machine has had a clean install.
Thanks in advance
Matt

First, reinstall OS X as you've been instructed to do. Upon completion of the installation Startup Assistant will give you the option to restore from a TM backup or other external drive. Restore your Home folder, Applications, support files, and network preferences which should return all your files.
If you restore your old system entirely then you will have what you now have - a slow running system.
But before you perform all of the above what you might try first are these:
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

My iMac was stolen, how do I recover mail and music from Time Machine on to a new computer?

My iMac was stolen last week and I need access to emails that were only on that machine. It was 21.5", 2010 model (I think), running Maverick. I had Time Machine enabled to an external hard drive. Now I need to go in and locate some emails from those files but am not sure how to find them. Does Time Machine automatically back up everything? Will my iTunes library also be there? I lost a ton of music that I need for my job. I don't see a folder named Library or Utilities (I know, old school) and am at a bit of a loss. I did try to "Enter Time Machine" but didn't see a lot of files and don't know how to surf through the various backups.
Am now operating on a 2012 MacBook Air (refurbished by Apple) on Maverick.
Thanks.

How did you transfer the data?

I have no rescue e-mail and forgot the answers to my security questions. What do I do now?

I put money on my Apple ID, but now it's askinh me for my security question, which is such a long time ago I can not remember them... Neither can I tecall any rescue e-mail. So what do I do now?

How to reset your Apple ID security questions
Go to appleid.apple.com and click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email.
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side. Then underneath the security questions click on the link that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then you will need assistance from Apple Account Security. Follow this procedure:
click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to getsupport.apple.com. If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services'.
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open. Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Brother fax machine and digital voice mail

Is it possible to use digital voice mail and a fax machine simultaneously.
I just bought a Brother fax 2840 machine and it doesn't seem that I can continue to use my digital voice mail with the fax machine without adding another line, can anyone help.
Thanks

I have problems when my Brother Multifunction machine is set to phone/fax which enables my answering machine too.
When soemone calls and they hang up, I get a ring busy. It seems I can't use my messaging center on the Btother. Any suggestions? Is there a way to use the Verizon Voicemail and have it recognize if it is a fax being sent so that it rings through?

Mail Push Not Working: Keeping Work and Personal Separate but together!

My understanding (and a big reason I dropped by Blackberry) of Mobile Me was that if I READ an E-mail on iPhone and then deleted it, it would delete it from my iMac at home (or MacBook for work). This does not seem to work? I know there are some issues still with MobileMe so I am trying to be patient.
Do I not have my synche preferences set up right? I want to keep my work (MacBook) mail and contacts separate from my personal (iMac) mail and contacts while receiving both on my iPhone. I want the calenders to merge. Is this possible? How do I set up my preferences on each unit to get this work?
I would imagine there are others out there like me (anyone? anyone?) so hopefully this will be something someone can answer. Thanks!

Having the same problem with yahoo mail not pushing.
I tried endangeredpeople's solution but it didn't work for me.
