When I send a message in a group with non-iPhone users it appears as "New Multimedia Message." One of my friends in the group also has an iPhone and his doesn't appear this way, how do I change my settings so it appears as a normal text message and not an mms?

when booting up, the bluetooth connects and disconnects with my trackpad 3 to 4 times and then i get a gray sheet that drops down from the top to bottom of the desktop then a box in the center that tells me to use the power button to do a forced shutdown. wireless keyboard connects with no problem. went to the apple store and they replaced the bluetooth card. still have the same problem. removed the batteries from the trackpad, strted up and no problem connecting with wireless mouse and keyboard. anyone else experience this?
This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

Why do i keep getting the message 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' when I have done every connection I can find? What does the error message (-1202) mean when I am on the iTunes site on my computer?
Hi Velvalee,
While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?
Well iOS 5 helps you sync with your computer wirelessly when connected to a power supply and on wifi.
iOS 4 should allow you to have automatic downloads from your account with iTunes rather than from your computer.
Just go to settings>store and turn on automatic downloads and it will do what you want whether it's plugged in or not as long as you're on wifi. -

Can I have 2 Bluetooth connection active at the same time? Works with other phones...
Is it possible to have one Bluetooth connection for "phone audio" and a 2nd connection for "A2DP" music streaming at the same time on my iPhone 5? My car-stereo has Bluetooth for phone calls but NOT for audio streaming. However, there's a 3.5mm aux in on the head unit. On my S5 I can create one Bluetooth connection to the car-stereo and select "phone audio" and a 2nd for my Bluetooth aux-in adapter. It works perfect since months but last week I changed back to an iPhone (5s) and it appears that I can only have ONE BT connection active at a time!? Any ideas anyone?
Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

I just switched from iphone 4s to LG G3. I'm having issues with bluetooth in my car, iphone would sync automatically but with G3 I have to manually connect to my car's bluetooth every time I turn it on - it won't sync automatically. Any fixes?
You can turn on BT tethering but it disables Wifi so if I have to do that step every time I get in my car, I just as well manually connect on BT every time.

I have an Iphone 6 plus. Can the bluetooth connect to the cars speaker system and a Garmin HUD unit at the same time?
Hi,
Normally yes, Bluetooth can connect to multiple devices at the same time, so yes.
The only thing is that you'll be able to send sound/music to only one at a time, but I understand the Garmin HUD doesn't play sounds.

TS3274 not able to make Bluetooth connection between my Ipad and Iphone.
I am unable make Bluetooth connection between my Ipad3 and Iphone 4S.
You can't!
Alternativley you can use DropBox to send items over WiFi (free) or sync both with iTunes and drag & drop items in the Apps tab of each device.

After install iOS 8.1.2 no Bluetooth connection could be made between iphone 6 and/or ipad and/or iPhone 4s
The iPhone is not designed to pair with an iPad (except for personal hotspot if your cellular plan allows it) or with another iPhone. What is it that you are trying to do? There are a number of features such as Handoff, Keynote Remote, etc that require Bluetooth to be on but the devices are not paired. See Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

My wife and I have iPhones that backup to iCloud I upgraded my iPhone to iPhone 5 when I see stored from iCloud it restored all of my wife's phone data not mine how do I change it
You need to restore from your backup and not your wife's. You need to check if your backup is under the same or different apple id. If Id is the same you need to erase phone and find correct backup to restore from. If different you just need to use it at restore time.
Instructions for restore from backup here.

I have forgotten my security questions but the email to reset them is no longer active how do i change it to send it to a different email?
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
When printing from iphoto all photographs are printed in a pop art style rather than as seen - how do I change this to printing the photo as seen?
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Damaged preference files can cause a varitety of problems which you wouldn't think it could. Deleting and regenerating the pref file is one of the basic fixes to try.
