Why does my iphone say i have a message but when i click on the app i dont have one and if i get out of the app it still says the messages are there.?

When i go on my phone it says i have 3 new messages but when i click on it i really dont. I turned off and turned my phone on 3 times and it still says i have 3 new messages how do i stop that. Without actually turning on the bager icon thing that pops up on the app.

Hey there Samimanis_.
It sounds like your notification for messages is showing that you have a few mesages but when you go into the app, there are no new messages. I would start by signing out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages. Then close the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone, sign back in, and try again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

MY ihpne 4s iOS 8.1.3 is missing the messaging app. I can receive messages, but when I click on it, nothing happens.I have restarted my phones, no restrictions on are, it is not in another folder, and i have reset my phone.

I cannot find my default messaging app I can still get text messages, and send them from the pull down bar, but I cannot access the app anywhere. Is it gone?

No. It's not gone. It's not possible to delete it or restrict it. You've moved it to another screen or into a folder.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout will put it back in the default location if you can't find it.

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

HT3529 My iPhone is showing that I have one unread messages but when I click on it, it does not show this so-called unread message. How do I go about getting rid of this symbol, or find this unread message?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel. its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
thx
Jackie
p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011, I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update. This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet. Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content. Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

WHy does my iPhone not show up in my iTunes when I plug it in?

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

My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window. I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails

My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window. I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails an @mac.com, an @me.com and an @icloud.com.
I'm so confused! Is there a way to combined these all into one?

When i compose a new message and am typing in the name of the person to send it to it says iMessage after their name but when i click it says "Bonjour (offline) " my bonjour account isn't even enabled!? and it all used to work fine

Hi,
I invoked New Mesage
I typed a Name in Manually (rather than using the blue + icon)
I clicked on the "to" name and got this
Uploaded with Skitch!
I don't get a Bonjour Option here.
I do get a Jabber ID showing up for them but for soem reason it does not list my "From" account.
I would say that I have seen multiple "To"s and the same for the "From" choices and I think I have seen the Bonjour one listed.
However the "To" And "From"s don't seem to match and it appears you can iMessage Jabber names/ID or Jabber AIM names (which you can't in either case)

HT1338 App Store says I have six updates but when I click on update tab I get blank white screen

That's strange....
Under Snow Leopard (which is the forum you posted in), updates are done through Software Update. Not the App Store.

Itunes says it has available updates but when I click download updates, it says no available update.

This happened to me as well. I use an iMac as my main machine, but have a laptop that my daughter uses. I use my Apple ID on both computers. I would occasionally see on my iMac that I have updates available and would click update and get the No Update Available response, yet the red badge remains displaying that I have an update. Found that a few people had this happening as well via these forums so I checked on the laptop and it updated. I then noticed the red badge on the iMac had disappeared as well. If you have any other computers that share your Apple ID, I'd run update on those to see if it fixes your issue.
Thanks,
Bryan

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.
