It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts.

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

  • Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

  • Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac, Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac

    Why can't I delete breaking bad from my mac?

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but according to reports, it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
    Otherwise, do what the alert tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID" as the product and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the representative.

  • Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac?

    Why can't I login to iMessages from my Mac? It just started all of a sudden, all my iMessage conv's are offline. I tried but get an error message that states "Your Apple ID "xxxxxxxx" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time" and then a customer code to contact apple. This would require a pay for advice payment I'd rather not do.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

  • Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

    I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
    the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

    Hi,
    Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
    A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
    An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network  at present. (or run out of Power)
    You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

  • Why can't I receive text messages from certain phone numbers?

    I cannot receive a text message from one particular number.  We have both checked our phones to make sure we had not blocked each other, which we didn't.  She also is a verizon customer but has an android while I have the iphone.  She can receive my texts but I cannot receive her reply. 

        Hi Coggin. Sounds like you and your friend started in the right direction to find out why her messages aren't getting to you. Budone has a great suggestion to make sure she doesn't have your number stored with a 1 in front. That can actually cause the Android phone to have trouble sending the message to your number correctly. Since you are able to send with everyone including her and she is having trouble sending to you, that tells me it's more likely something we need to look at on her end. Is she getting any error message? Are you the only one she has trouble sending to? Has she ever been able to send you a text before? If she has, when's the last time it worked? Is she using any third party messaging applications from the market? I know that's a lot of questions, but they'll help me get you up and running with the answers.
    Thank you

  • Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

    I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

    Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
    IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
    Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

  • Why can I no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook??

    Since up-grading from iOS 5. To iOS 6.01, I can no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook!  Any one know what I need to do??

    Go to Settings>Privacy>Facebook and see if saving photos has been allowed.
    Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos and see if FaceBook is turned on - if necessary.
    And go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and check there as well.

  • Why can I no longer Print anything from Firefox after installing 28.0?

    Since upgrading to 28.0, I can no longer print anything from within the Firefox browser. My other applications continue to print normally, but whenever I try to print anything from Firefox, I get a "A print error has occurred" message. The Print Preview page displays only a blank, gray window. Prior to upgrading I had no problems.

    Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
    *Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
    If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.
