Why do some iMessages not send for ages?

When I try to send an iMessage to another iPhone4, it can sometimes take up to a few minutes and even a few hours for the 'Delivered' sign to appear at the botton of the message i.e. the message is not getting sent forages.... is this due to problems with the network or is it my actual phone?

I also have the same problem. Just today i got a really important imessage, but only on my ipad which was at home, so got to read the message too late. Quite annoying. I also have the latest versions of ios, and iphone 5 and ipad 2. Thanks for your help.

Why are some Filters not available for some image files?

I noticed that the Lighting Effect filter under Render is not available for all of my image files (grayed out).
I perform a "Merge Visible" for all the layers, but still this filter and some others are grayed out on some images. Does the bit-depth matter (8 or 16-bit) or file type (.PSD or .TIFF)? Thanks.

Many filters don't work on 16-bit files.
Some of them are pretty ancient.

Why do some imessages not get sent to my iphone

both my ipad and my iphone are set up to receive imessages sent to either my phone number or email. sometimes when ppl imessage me it will only get sent to my ipad. whenever it happens its always part of a conversation that previously had been working just fine. its frustrating bc i will come home to see a imessage sent hrs or even the day before on my ipad but it never shows up on my iphone which i always have. they are both running the latest version of ios (6.0.2 for iphone and 6.0.1 for ipad). i dont care if my ipad misses a imessage every once in awhile but i expect my iphone to get every one of them. any suggestions?

I also have the same problem. Just today i got a really important imessage, but only on my ipad which was at home, so got to read the message too late. Quite annoying. I also have the latest versions of ios, and iphone 5 and ipad 2. Thanks for your help.

Why are some songs not available for ringtones?

I had a ringtone on my old RAZR phone and loved it. I would like to make it my ringtone on my Iphone. The song is available in Itunes and I saw another post that said some songs even though they don't have a "bell" in the ringtone column can still be made into ringtones. I have the CD, but I downloaded the song anyway and it tells me that song is no longer available for ringtones. How do I go about asking Apple/Itunes to make it available again?

Best thing is to call Apple Support in your country, and/or to post your feedback at:

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
We waiting for
Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
Usability and performance improvements.
Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
Best Regards,
Kevin

Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
Regards
Sheldrick

I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality. You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them. You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera? and remains black during FaceTime, iphone 5 6.1.3 completely restored to factory

Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera? and remains black during FaceTime calling over wifi even to a macbook, iphone, ipad 2, ipod touch and the device i have is iphone 5, 6.1.3 completely restored to factory, 5 times, 4 without restoring from back up, the last one i figured might as well have my content on it if its not going to work anyways.

Why is the app not available for my device?

I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook
