Why do some of my contacts come back unusable when I try to text them with my iPad?

My old non smart hone can text anyone but I can't with my ipad

You can only use the iOS messages app with other iOS users ... IPads, iPod Touches, iPhone and Macs that are running Mountain Lion. The other user that you want to reach must be set up and registered to use Messages as well or your text will not go through to them.

Why are some of my pictures blank green screens when I try to add them into a montage??

Why are some of my pictures from my iphone showing up as blank green screen when I try to add them into imovie?

Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.

Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Some WMA files returning "invalid file" error when I try to transfer them to my MP3 pla

Hello! I'm having a new problem with my Zen Micro this week. I have been using Walmart.com's music download service for a year or so now and have never had a problem with their files. All of a sudden this week, 2/3rds of the files I have downloaded will not transfer to my MP3 player. When I try to import them, the Zen Micro returns an error saying they are "invalid" files. Some files transfer fine -- others give me this error. I talked to Walmart about this and they said it's a problem with my MP3 player. Does anybody know what might be causing this? Should I be trying an upgrade to my Media Explorer program, or something like that?
Thanks for any advice you can offer (and yes, I know Walmart is run by *******s, but at least they don't make me download a huge application before I can buy online music from them!).

I had similar problems with downloads before I upgraded to PlaysForSure. Even though in theory you don't need PlaysForSure for pay as you go downloads, in practice the complex rights built into the music mean that it is the only guarantee that downloaded music will play for sure and correctly on your player. I would recommend upgrading to PlaysForSure firmware from the 'downloads' section of this website (you need windows xp service pack 2 and windows media player 0 first). Make sure you back up your music if possible first as all content will be erased when you upgrade firmware. You will then need to download the software suite for PlaysForSure zen micros to get MediaSource and MediaExplorer.

Why does "message to _________ deleted" come up every time I try to text a certain person?

Why is the only thing I recieve when I send a text to my friend "Message to _______ deleted"? I don't understand why it's doing that?

It may be that your messages are set to automatically delete the messages after they are sent. Go into message then under settings look to see if it says auto delete and change the program.

Why do some of my contacts profile pictures appear as a blue square after syncing with facebook?

Hi,
After syncing facebook friends with contacts, some of the profile pictures in contacts are replaced with a blue square.
Any ideas?

Greetings. Allow me to expand, please. I downloaded pictures from internet, as a collection with different themes directly from Internet. I only downloaded jpeg files or images. I organized my themes by folders on my desktop, then I copied some of them in a small 250gb external hard drive… But that´s just incidental. Whenever i had a folder of images that I wanted to play as a presentation, I just dragged the folder to the Iphoto main page and Iphoto just copies them and makes a file under the same name as the original folder. Of course I also have images of my own production, which are my main concern. But threee or four times, Iphoto said that I had inconsistencies in my pictures and I just had to agree to fix them. This operation could take up to a couple of hours por more...
But since I installed Yosemite, this glitch or question of inconsistencies, has not happened again, but somtimes, as I scroll through the folders in Iphoto, to edit some of the images or delete them, some of them become just a dotline square… I cannot see the image anymore, and when I do a presentation of the folders, these blaced out images appear in the show, as a black square or screen. I hope this information helps to answer your questions… Thank you for helping me.

Several names in my contact list won't come up when I try to text them

My daughter is one her second Pantech Jest. This second phone is now having the same problem as the first phone!
There are a couple of friends in her Contact List who simply will not come up (they will not appear in the drop-down) when she types part of their names in the "New Text Message" "to" box.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
We have three Jests & the other two phones have not had this problem.
We took the first one back to Verizon & the tech there couldn't solve the problem & he was REALLY sharp!

Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

HT204053 Why do I get 'incorrect apple ID or password' when I try to activate Message on my iPad?

I have an apple ID since 2005 and I use it everywhere (app store, iTunes, mail....) I'm trying to activate Message on my iPad, but it doesn't recognize my I'D or password... What to do?

I think the feature has been disabled by the Enterprise Software installed on the devices (I use both devices for my work). I will reconfirm it though.

I have apps that I downloaded from a friends computer and some from my own. When I try to sync them to my computer it will only sync my apps and save them. Is there something I am overlooking to get all of them to sync and save.

Your friends Apps are not your Apps... If you want those Apps you will need to Purchase them.

I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC,will the contacts come back or will they be deleted also?

I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC, will the contacts come back to my iPod or will the sync delete the contacts from my backup file?

The contacts are part of the backup. So restoring from a backup that has the contacts should have the contacts. Make sure that you have autosyncing turned off, otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes may overwrite the old backup with the new contents of the iPod that does not contain the contacts. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods...

Could be a bad inverter cable, that's a classic symptom.

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Display goes off and comes back only when Satellite A210 is restarted

Hi,
Satellite A210 displays goes off now and then and comes back only when the machine is restarted.
Usual runtime runtime 30 or 45 mins
Please advice
# Is this a hardware problem or software?
# Does some one else faced same problem do advice?
Machine is year and a half old runs windows vista basic that comes with it.
I have reinstalled the display adapter drivers also the problem remains same

Hello
Have you tested an external monitor on the notebook?
If the external monitor works fine it seems to be an internal display issue and must be replaced.
Are you running the factory settings on your notebook or have you installed your own Windows version? Before you go to an authorized service provider you should restore the factory settings to determine if its a hardware or software problem. With the factory settings all should work properly and if not in my opinion its a hardware problem.
Check this!!!
