  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • TS3367 My iMessage and FaceTime keep saying "There was an error during activation." I've tried everything that these groups say but it keeps saying that. What do I do?

    Please help me! This message keeps popping up and it won't go away. All of the forums I've been on haven't been any help.

  • Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    I am trying to use my adobe premiere elements 12 and when I go to click on a "new project" it takes me to the sign in page. Once I type my information in and click on "sign in" a little 'thinking circle' pops up and it just keeps spinning but it never ends up doing anything. Please help me with this issue. I really need to get this project started like yesterday. Thank you.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Did you have the opportunity to update 12 to 12.1 Update yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so when you get the opportunity.
    For now I will assume that your computer is Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Please try the following suggestions to overcome your Premiere Elements Sign In issue.

    Sorry my bad.  I have tried to print the same document on another printer and all the formatting is fine.

    When I try to sign in to the support community using one of my e-mail addresses and I put in nothing or what I thought was my apple support community user name I can get one of several messages
    Ie.1. Please specify a user name
    2.An account using this e-mail address already exists; only one account per e-mail address is allowed on Apple Support Communities
    How do I find out what my Apple Support Communities user name is

    Good luck with this!!!

    My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..   

  • How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

  • HT1338 I have updated my software and everything else I think I need to do.  I am having a problem connecting to Facetime on my Mac Pro Book.  I have tried using my Apple ID and I have tried creating a new ID but it doesn't work.

    I just bought a New Apple Pro Book.  Tried getting Facetime up and working with no luck.  Won't accept APPLE ID and won't accept a new account.  Tried to buy app thinking it was that but told me it was already installed on the mac.  Do I have to fix a setting or something that I am not aware of.
    My whole family used the same APPLE ID and I have this apple ID on my IPHONE for facetime.  Do we need a new one if so why can't I create a new one???

    You can use the same AppleID for App Store purchasing Apps, Books and Music. (So you can share between family members, no need to re-purchase)
    But for other Apple services like FaceTime, Message, Game Center (next Mac OS release)  etc You should use a different Apple ID.
    To start, you need an e-mail address (Gmail from Google, Yahoo from Yahoo,  or Hotmail from Microsoft: there are all free). Use the browser for example to search for gmail.
    1. Create an e-mail account following the instruction given. (Take note of email address you created and password use, password should include numbers, letters and uppercase letter)
    2. Test that new e-mail account by sending a test email to that account (GMail mails can be view using the browser)
    3. use this link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ using the new e-mail address you created.
    Not wanting to overload you. After you have all that come back here again and we go from there.

    I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

    Not if you change the ID.  You would need to give them the new address.

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

    I've had the same problem for a month and yet I still cant get iTunes to work, I've heard different solutions but none have worked for me
    This may or may not work for you but its worth a try even though it didnt seem to work for me, Good Luck!
