When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud and started using iMessage the picture that comes up when I send a picture is not me but my stepdaughter. How do I change it? The ID picture on my iMac is me
When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud I started using iMessage but when I type a note and hit send the picture that comes up is not me but some one else that I know. I don,t even have this picture in my iPhoto's so don't know where it came from. My ID picture on my MacBook pro is correct. I went to settings, then messages but did not see a place to change the picture. Any ideas?
You set the picture in Contacts.
Open Contacts, select the person then tap Edit.
Tap the photo to change it.

Hi, I bought an iPad and was so impressed by Safari that I replaced Chrome with it on my Windows XP Toshiba laptop and now when I use Safari the icons on the screen continue to flicker until I come out of Safari. Is there a cure other than using a Mac
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I have bought an ipad, and when i go to reset it, it needs the restrictions password which i dont know. When i plug it into itunes, it asks to turn find my iphone off, which needs the password of the old owners itunes.What should i do?
If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

We've just bought 2 iPads and seen our home internet usage nearly treble! (But our browsing habits haven't changed) Coincidence or unrelated? Any help gratefully received
"Our browsing habits haven't changed" - with all due respect, unless you have kept a diary or other record of specific internet activity, you have no way of knowing that. And you make no mention of what was used prior to the iPads to do this, so it would be difficult to make any kind of comparison.
Not only the browsers, but any number of apps on the iPads also access the internet.
You might want to check location services, and potentially turn it off for any apps that really don't need it. Likewise check you mail set up and reduce reliance on Push (I have mine set to strictly manual, but more to reduce interruptions than reducing internet usage) -
I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?
Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.
POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap" -

In iPhoto (09) I can add a description to a photo which will display when running the slideshow, however when I sync the Album to my iPad and I run slideshow the description does not display, WHY?
I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
Thank you for understanding.I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.
This forum isn't checked by Apple employees but is for users to help each other out.

My parents just bought an ipad. Their apple ID is correct in all the places except in the iTunes and App Stores settings. It won't let you click on the Apple ID to change it. What should they do?
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.
Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do. -
I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.
