    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

  • Why can I only text 10 people with the IPhone 4s

    Why can I only text 10 people at a time with the IPhone 4s?

    Apple has, to the best of my knowledge made a statement about why they have included this limitation. To prevent spamming perhaps? There are group texting apps available in the App Store that my suit your needs.

    Can't not text pictures with 4s and other texts dont always go thru WHY?

    Need more information...  Is it that you don't know how to add a picture to a text?  You know and have tried but gotten an error message?  Got no message, but the receiver does not get the text?  Are you sending as iMessage or SMS, or MMS?

  • Why can't I text certain people without iPhones on my iPod touch

    Why can't I text certain people without iPhones on my iPod touch how do I text people on a different kind of phone please help!

    Elitegate. The Whatsapp app is only compatible with iPhones. It will not install on any other device.
    However, there are other texting apps like TexpPlus, Viber, Text Free that are compatible with later model iPods.

  • Why can't I text or email photos

    Why can't I text or email photos?  It doesn't indicate that it wasn't sent, but I know they're not being received.  Thanks!

    You need to discuss the problem with your carrier. If the phone indicates it was sent, it's getting an aknowledgement from your carrier that they received it. From that point on, it can only be your carrier, the receiving carrier or the interchange between the two that's the problem.
    Does this happen with everyone you try to text, or just some people? You can set up a free google voice account and try texting to/from that.

  • Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    The iPad cannot send traditional text messages (SMS) which are platform independent since they are a carrier service.
    The iPad uses Apple's own messaging service iMessage to send messages. Which means only Apple devices can receive those.
    If you need to message people on other platforms you need a different messaging App liike Skype or Google Hangouts.  Note, that these will not be SMS messages like your phone can send. They'll be internet based messages so the other user will have to be registered with the service you choose to use, and you will have to have him as a contact in that service to be able to send them a message.

  • Hard drive failure (why can't I start up with boot disk)?

    Running OS 10.4.6. I was getting flashing question mark at startup. Tried starting with Disk Warrior holding down "C" key. Got Apple logo, but then screen frooze with horizontal lines across screen.
    Rebooted, held mouse to eject disk. Tried TechTool Pro disk. Would not boot from that either (got circle with slash logo I think).
    Finally was able to boot with Tiger install disk.
    Ran disk utility from Tiger disk. My internal hard drive showed up in red letters and said "failing"
    OK.....I can understand that.....I guess my hard drive crashed (on my 2 year old Powerbook...oh well)
    But, why can't I start up with any of my boot disks (Disk Warrior, TechTool) only the Tiger install disk. Also the Panther and Jaguar disks will NOT start it...only the Tiger disk works. One more thing I'm wondering....I connected my external firewire drive that has a boot partition on it that I have started up with in the past....and it won't boot my laptop either.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any insight. Guess I'll head to the genius bar tomorrow. At least my extended warranty is still good (I think).
    Powerbook G4 17 1.5 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Here is what the outcome was:
    I took my Powerbook into Apple Genius bar (still under 3 yr. AppleCare), he determined that my hard drive had crashed. He shipped it for me to be repaired.
    It came back with a message attached saying that the source of the problem was my 3rd party RAM, which was a 1 GB module. The note said that the memory had been removed...and that in some cases like this the removed memory will be sent back to the customer and will be in the box somewhere. I checked and it wasn't there. The "Get Info" for my system said I was now running on 512 mb instead of the usual 1.5 GB. The note said that this 3rd party RAM had caused the hard drive to fail, so the hard drive had been replaced.
    I ordered a new 1GB RAM module from Apple for $300, didn't want to take a chance on 3rd party again. But....when it arrived, I went to install it....and my 1GB 3rd party module was in the slot....it just wasn't pushed all the way in I guess. I pushed it in firmly, closed up the computer, started it, and the "Info" read 1.5 GB again. I ended up removing the 512mb module and replacing that with the new 1GB one I bought from Apple. So now I have 2GB of memory and and extra 512 that I can't use. It has been running fine ever since (more than 2 months)
    Can bad RAM really make a hard drive go bad?
    I wonder why they said they had removed the RAM, but it actually had not been removed (at least not completely)

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.
    In terms of feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

    why can't I attach files with my hotmail account on my mac pro since I upgraded to lion?

    i can' t believe it but after 3 hours of reading everything i could find on this subject i discovered the answer on accident: IT'S THE CLOCK!!!!! I know that it sounds crazy but go to settings and go to date and time and set it to the automatic date and time, even if it's the wrong time. after i did that, everything worked perfectly! aldiko accepted my adobe id and imported my purchased book happily.  i hope it is that easy for everyone, best of luck.
