  • Why can't i text to people without iphones?

    I just bought the iphone 5 and I can't send text messages unless someone else has the iphone.  It says failure to send.  How do I fix this?

    Sending text messages is a feature controlled by your cellular carrier.  You'll have to contact them to rectify.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address.  I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around. 
    I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are.  I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address.  Can I do that?

  • Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

  • Can you listen to the radio without internet on the ipod touch?

    Can you listen to the radio without internet on the ipod touch? (like the nano?)

    RainyRain958 you are just BSs. There is no cellular iPod. Here is the comparison

    They sell 5G iPods that are all the same, except that you have cellular. Go to the iPod model comparison page on Apple's website-- the cellular iPod is labeled Wi-Fi + Cellular.

  • Why can't I text from my Verizon iPhone 4S to AT&T Galaxy S4?

    My wife who is on AT&T switched from an iPhone 3 to the Samsung Galaxy S4 last week.  Since then she can't see my texts from my Verizon iPhone 4S.  I see her texts just fine.  Fyi, she said she unregistered her Apple iPhone when getting her Galaxy. Thanks for any help!

    How to print in iOS
    You can print from the Apple applications, such as Mail, Safari, Photos, Camera, Maps, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Filemaker Go, and so on. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
    To print, follow these steps:
    Tap the action icon .
    Tap the Print button.
    Select the appropriate settings, and then tap Print.
    Important: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select a printer before step 3.
    Note: AirPrint displays only the essential printer options that apply to the document or image being printed. Details such as media type, page size, and orientation are automatically determined at print time.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • Why can't I hot sync my outlook calendar with my ipod touch?

    Since I bought my ipod touch I have used Outlook calendar, notes & contacts.  I have never had a problem syncing those programs.  After the first of this 1 1/2 years of using my ipod touch, it started not syncing the outlook calendar but my outlook notes & contacts still sync.  I have tried resetting it, restoring it, deleting outlook and reinstalling it, unmarking to sync with outlook and explorer in itunes and then checking it to sync with outlook again.  I have an extended warranty with Walmart where I bought it, and I sent it to them.  They sent it back saying nothing is wrong with the ipod (which I told them on the phone) because everything else works.  I have searched Microsoft & Apple for answers to this but I have found nothing.  It seemed to stop syncing the calendar after the 1st of the year and  I have been trying to fix this problem since then.  Does anyone have a clue as to why or how to fix this problem?

    In this case you would have to add this account in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud" for email, calendars, contacts, reminders etc. After you have finished checking emails, etc. you can delete your account in the same way.

  • Why can't I type the "5"/ "T" key on my iPod touch?

    So about 2 hours ago my iPod Touch, 3rd generation just randomly started freaking out. The screen would shake a lot when I tried to drag my finger on it and it randomly started doing stuff like opening apps that I hadn't clicked on and magnifying the screen. I tried to restart it but that didn't do any good so I plugged it into my MacBook to restore the factory settings via iTunes. Everything went perfectly until just about 20 minutes ago I tried doing some typing in the memo app and discovered that I could not type the "5" / "T" key on the keyboard. What in the world is going on?! Any ideas?

  • Why when it has less apps than my iphone does my ipod touch say it got 4gb on it when synced to itunes ect

    why is my ipod touch showing when synced to itunes that it has 4gb of apps when there are 9 apps on yet my iphone that has the same apps and lots more says it has less than 1gb, can anyone help please as cannot put any music on the ipod touch. thanks

    try connecting the Touch in recovery mode, then set it up as a new device.
    if that fails, you might want to try to put the device in DFU mode.

  • Will IOS 7 fix texting? I can't send texts to people without an iphone. I get an error then have to send again.

    The IOS 7 update won't let me send texts in it's orginal form. For example past iphone holders in my contacts don't let me send texts to them. It acts like they are still part of imessage but they have a different phone now that isn't an iphone. So I get an error or it won't send it to them. So I have to 'try again' and send it as a 'text message'.. No idea how to fix that. Any help?

    Tell your carrier to enable text messaging on your account.

  • Why can I not add certain "files to iPhone because iTunes match enable on this iPhone?"

    I have some files on my computer I tried to transfer to my iPhone 3GS. They are mp3s of talks/lectures. No copyright issues. But iTunes tells me that they cannot be added because I have iTunes match enabled on that phone. Any ideas?

    iTunes says these files are not eligible for iCloud. So I can't upload them. They are not songs. I've turned iTunes Match off both on my computer and my iPhone. Still cannot add them to my iPhone. Not sure what to do beyond this.

  • Why can't I login to iMessage or FaceTime on my iPod touch 5 if I have IOS 6?

    At first I was having trouble with FaceTime it stopped working out of nowhere and then it like logged me out. So I tried login in and it kept telling me my apple ID password was wrong. I got annoyed so I stopped trying and then a month later then same occurred with my iMessage. It was working fine and then it randomly logged me out and it doesn't let me login. I changed my password and it still saying my username doesn't match with my password. Can someone please explain to me why this happened and how I can fix it. Thank you!

    Because you need iOS 7.1.1 for FT to work on a 5G.
