Iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only

iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only. Can receive texts from them but cannot respond error message 923-0. Saying invalid number of digits msg 2114

This error looks like a carrier message. Does this person have an iOS device? It appears not, but this looks like an SMS error. I suggest that you contact your carrier to see if they can explain the error.

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

Why does my iPhone not allow me to sync after iOS5 upgrade?

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4to iOS 5 and I lost everything from my phone (all apps, music, contacts, etc.) and cannot sync to my iTunes account. Any help out there?

It might have a software issue that needs to be resolved.
I would first try to reset the device by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo. Then release. Wait for the phone to come back on and try again.

I used to be able to text my boyfriend in the UK and now that i've changed my number it will not allow me to send an imessage to him. Please help me.

It's really a struggle because i really want this to work and i looked everywhere and nothing is working.

Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
Good Luck

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.

Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line. If you are, it won't let you send the message. Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.

HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

Why is it that when i connect my ipad the laptop only detects the storage and does not allow me to send any files to it?

My iPhone 5 does not allow me to send or recieve any texts from anyone not using iMessage - I've already checked my settings and everything is where it should be. Any other possible ideas?

Contact your carrier to make sure there's nothing wrong with your account.
Also, it may be worth going into Settings>General>Reset and choosing Reset Network Settings. You'll lose saved wifi passwords but you won't see any other changes. That may resolve the issue.

Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love
