Why can't we block emails and numbers from iMessage/FaceTime?

I'm on a wifi iPad so I can't reach out to a carrier to block someone harassing me, how come iMessage/FaceTime doesn't come with this feature built in?

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You're not addressing Apple here. No one here would know why Apple hasn't included that feature. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

One of you needs to use a separate Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on one of the phones, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
I am able to send using my me.com server.
Home service provider is Cogeco.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why can't we block a certain phone # from calling our phone?

Verizon stated: when I asked?
Can I block an incoming number?
"Neither Verizon Wireless nor any other wireless provider is able to block specific numbers from your wireless phone; however, we are able to block all incoming calls. We strongly recommend that you utilize your Caller ID feature to screen your incoming calls. This way, you will be able to ignore unknown callers at your discretion. If the unwanted calls persist, we encourage you to change your wireless number."
REALLY??? THAT'S JUST ASSSSININE....
By the way, That statement is Not True, I know for a Fact that STRAIGHT TALK, of All Company's has that feature & it comes Standard... So what's up??? I don't get it???
The worst part is... the phone # calling me is: 000-000-0000 & the guy barely speaks english & keeps calling me about getting a loan to go to college. I have told him, 3 times a day when he calls, NO THANK YOU, PLEASE STOP CALLING ME, BUT HE WON'T. I bet I can't even block a 000-000-0000 number anyways. Yet, they can get away with calling me with it.????

Hmm, what phone and what plan do you have? I thought you could get up to 5 numbers blocked for up to 90 days for free on each line. Can you just hit the END button when the call comes in to ignore it or send it straight to voicemail? At least that way you won't get charged minutes when the # calls you.
Or, put that in as a contact, and choose NO ringtone, or silent ringtone, so you won't even hear when the call comes in and it will eventually go to VM - you won't have to do anything.

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

Why can't I add email and send a file.

I have a file to send and I can't type in the email address on the bar where it says To... Also, when I click address book blue icon I'm rerouted to buy the monthly subscription. I've emailed small things before. What am I missing here?

When you click the Share icon and choose E-mail Document, you should be taken to the default Mail client.
It should be no different than if you opened Mail and started a new document.
Mail is totally NOT part of Adobe Reader. I'm really not sure what you have done. Mail can't be directing you to buying a subscription.
Try sending an email from a different PDF file to confirm what I'm saying. Also, refer to the Help file in Reader for instructions.

Why can't some Hotmail emails be deleted from phone?

I can't delete some Hotmail emails from my iPhone (iPhone 5, iOS6.1.4). It doesn't happen with all Hotmail emails. It appears that this only happens with Hotmail emails that have been on the iPhone, opened on the iPhone but not deleted via the iPhone, and then deleted via my computer by accessing my Hotmail account. The emails remain in the Hotmail account on the iPhone and when I try to delete them, via "edit" and deleting selected or swiping and choosing "delete," I receive an error pop up that says "Unable to Move Messages The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." The email will temporarily be removed, but it will then reappear. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this? Thanks.

"Unable to move message to folder "Trash" because the folder does not exist"
Note: This should not affect MobileMe accounts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [affected account name] > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox on iPhone or iPod touch.
If "On the Server" is an option, select Trash below that (or select Deleted Items or Deleted Messages). Otherwise, select Trash located under "On My iPhone". Once the Deleted Mailbox has been set, tap Advanced and then press the Home button to return the Home screen.
If the Deleted Mailbox is already set to Trash, please follow these steps:
Tap another folder such as Spam under the "On the Server" section
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox, then set it to Trash located under On My iPhone.
Tap Advanced.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

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?
I have another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011

Fed up with blocked emails and blacklisted IPs from Verizon

Have been struggling with blocked emails and getting no help from Verizon. When sending emails via Outlook, most are rejected whether we create them or just forward them. Sometimes we get a spam notice, but most of the time they just disappear. Have contacted Verizon support and they have changed the outgoing port number with no improvement. They blame the signature block we attach to emails, but removing doesn't seem to improve anything. They say we can't contact the spam people except by email, but that doesn't seem to get any response. Meanwhile, the IPs that Verizon assigns us are on the blacklist. Verizon says this has nothing to do with the problem, but I have to think that it does. Would appreciate some help!

Verizon doesn't control the blacklist at Spamhaus. The outbound spam filter has been implemented along with other measures as part of an effort to prevent that type of block for Verizon IP addresses, but until spammers are wiped from the planet, blacklisting is going to happen.
To get off of the list, you have 2 options:
Appeal to Spamhaus to remove your IP here. Since you have a dynamic IP address, you will have to do this every time you get a blacklisted IP.
-OR-
You can get a static IP address from Verizon. This is the best solution for most businesses.

I've gotten 60 or 70 messages that that my iCloud doesn't work and to select preferences. The message says I will get an email to verify but I never get an email. I've checked old email, blocked email, and have low filters on emails. Any ideas?

Hey CarolinQc,
Thanks for the question. The symptoms you are experiencing can result from an Apple ID address that has been changed prior to signing out of all of the services. Before you change the email address associated with your Apple ID, you’ll want to sign out of all services to avoid this. As a fix, you can temporarily change your Apple ID back to the old address:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
          - Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
          - Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
          - Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

Hi there. I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac. On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types. If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview. I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens? That will help people to help you.

Skype blocks accounts and numbers without explanat...

Hei Everybody,
Just let you know about skype unbelievable behaviour with blocking
Accounts and numbers.
We have skype + skype kredit for many years and call mostly one family landline number all the time - from our main account.
One beautifull afternoon I was sitting in my room talking ti this number as I have done for years. Without knowing this fact, my wife from another room using same account i. e same skype kredit has tried to call her family.
Without any message / notice from skype that another person is using the account/kredit she successfully connect an begins talking - a landline number as well - so for 5 min we talk to different numbers simultaneously from same account / kredit without any alarm notice from skype and without knowing about each other Stupid , isn' t it ? But this is only a stupid mistake evrybody can do - skype must have a solution for this - we are living in 21 century.
But guess what happening - after 5 min simulaneoys talk - we have been thrown out from tjis account and the account + our main landline number is blocked by skype.
After several hours writing mails and talking to a several skype consultants providing proof of purchasing etc - our account was unblocked.
But guess what - the land line number we call 80 % of our credit last years is still blocked because skype thinks that this number is used for fraudelent attempts - any attempts to explain that everything is stupud mistake was receiving automatic draft mails that skype is investigating the number.
WHAT WAS OUR SURPRISE TODAY WHEN WE RECEIVED MAIL FROM SKYPE THAT THIS NUMBER IS BLOCKED FOREVER AND IF WE WANT TO CALL THIS NUMBER WE NEED TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION !!!!!!!!!!
Can you lmagine all this ??????
Тhe most funny / absurd / tragic thing is that rest of our family living in different countries also can not use this landline number (80 % of their calls are also to this number) - so all we need to change skype with some other solution - AMAZING AND UNBELIEVEBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
If you are on the latest Skype 6.5/6.6/6.7/6.9/6.10/6.11/6.13/6.14 version, then do also this:
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.

Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

Hi Nortarian,
The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
Hope this helps ....
- Judy
