Why does it send as an imessage when my friend doesnt have an iphone anymore?
Hello,
So my friend used to have an iphone but then he switched to a non iphone but still uses the same number, whenever i try to send him a message it still sends as an imessage and he neevr gets it unless i keep on holding the message then send it as a text message. otherwise he will never get the message? he told me that they deactivated the number on his iphone and transferred it to his new phone. so idk why it still does that?
Because your friend did not deactivate iMessage before getting rid of the iPhone. Your friend now has to call Apple and ask them to deactivate iMessage for the account.

How do I Fix Other People Sending Me iMessages when I no Longer Have an iPhon
Hi,
So, I recently decided to go away from the Apple iPhone, which I enjoyed, just too costly. Though, when I left, to go to android, I kept the same sim, and transferd it over to my new phone, with no issues.
The issue is on the other end, other people's cell phones (iPhones with iMessage) think I still have a iPhone, automaticly sending an iMessage. Most people don't know how to send it, like a regular message, so I'm wondering how I can disconnect iMessage from my android phone. Or would I have to contact my carrier to repair this issue, as I believe it still recognizes my new android as an iPhone.
Thanks for your help.Hello WesternElectricBen,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,

does anyone know how to cancel your icloud subscription when you can't access your iphone? I no longer have my old phone and I honestly thought i could cancel on my computer but it doesn't let me. any help would be appreciated.
This explains how to downgrade your storage plan to the free 5GB plan on your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4874. If you are unable to do this, call the Apple online store and ask them to do it for you (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada).

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?
Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.
Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

Why does my contacts appear as unknown when receiving calls
Why does my contacts appear as unknown when receiving calls
Anytime you have photos in the Camera Roll album on your iPad your computing assumes you will want to copy them. If you don't want to copy those photos then just quit Image Capture or whatever other program starts when you connect. Then start iTunes and go from there.

Why does a different number come up when i messaging to other i phones? My friends keep responding to my imessage with 'who is this' and apparently it comes from another number-not my usual number like texts...
Thanks. The number shown against 'phone' is not my number. But it is the number my friend showed me that was coming up when she got my mgs.... Still confused!

Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?
When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
These are two different apps.

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start?
Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start? Not every time, but often. It's very frustrating to have to re-enter all my prefs. Every once in a while I start up InDesign CS6 and the new document dialog shows page sizes in po (I always use inches) and the prefs all seem to revert to default.
Do you have a Windows PC and when shutting down, is Indesign still open? If so, this can result in a damaged preferences when still writing while Indesign is being terminated by the system.
