Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps taking my credit, im not using Safari or any internet apps, my 3G is turned off but it is still taking my credit. What's it doing?

    My iPhone 4S keeps taking my credit, im not using Safari or any internet apps, my 3G is turned off but it is still taking my credit, i topped up by ten pounds yesterday and it has already 6 pounds?! Im on Orange (EE)! Someone help please? Thanks

    Try restarting the phone
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • C6-00. Screen turns off, but touch sensor still wo...

    in normal mode (non physical keyboard mode), i use it, everything works fine..
    but in physical keyboard mode, once slide it, a few secs later, the screen turns off.. i tried to use the lock button at the side to turn it on back, but, nothing happens, i have to slide n lock unlock it many times to get it turned on again.( BUT SOMETIME, WHEN I SLIDE IT, EVERYTHING WORKS NORMALLY!)
    when this thing happen, even in normal mode, i cant revive it back... i take out my batteries, put it back, start, it still doesnt turned on. but with "some miracle", sometimes it does turn on back.. but when i go to keyboad mode again... screen turns off.. same **bleep** happens.
    anyone face the same problem?
    "what do you mean by touch sensor still works?"
    -when the screen turns off(at home screen), i press at the "contact" at bottom right of the screen, the phone does vibrate. proves that the touch sensor works.
    fyi, i've tried,
    7370
    7780
    shift + space + del.
    these 3 formatting methods just doesnt get this thing back to its normal condition again.
    sigh. lost trust in nokia

    It is the latest v 20.0.042. In fact, I already reinstalled the firmware again and did a hard reset *#7370# but problem is still there. The display is totally off now either in vertical or horizontal keyboard mode, I have to slide the keyboard a little and hold it there to get the display back, it is too tiresome and is unacceptable. So I highly suspect the it is the sliding keyboard that causes the display problems.
    I went to Nokia Care and they said that this phone is no longer under warranty. I will have to pay a substantial amount of money to have them repair it. This sucks

  • I would like to know if you go into free downloads why cannt you dowloads more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

    I would like to know if the download that are free why cann't you download more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

    If it's free, then it's free no matter how many you download. iTunes might take some time if you download more than three. I have more than 400 apps and a 50 of them are free and I don't have problem.
    Are you sure it was free?

  • Send/Receive Text Msgs with Nokia 6230i and MacBook

    I was told that it is possible to pair some bluetooth enabled mobile phones with the MacBook and to send/receive text messages. When a message is sent to the phone, it shows up on the Mac. The user can then reply from the Mac and it gets sent to the receipient's phone. Does anyone know how to do this? Is there a different application to facilitate this?

    You do it in the Apple Address Book application.

    Try resetting the SMC.
    MacBook and MacBook Pro with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer
    To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.  
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge.  After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down

    I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge.  After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down.  Today i tried to turn it back on ( i spilled it last night) and now it won't turn on but when i plug it in the orange light comes on so it still charges.

    TBF: You may have been lucky enough not to cripple your MBP immediately with your spill, but a spill such as you describe will have left obvious traces if you ever need to take your machine in for a repair of any kind. And as soon as evidence of the spill is found, any chance of the necessary repairs being performed under warranty will be gone.
    Taking the machine in now to be cleaned and have the greasy parts replaced will be expensive, but doing so may save whatever remains of your warranty. For a price, Apple will restore the machine to like-new condition, and at the very least, you will then have a 90-day repair warranty on it. If you have significantly more time than that remaining on your original one-year warranty, and especially if you've bought the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, it would probably be worth taking the machine in to a Genius Bar for a look-over. Ask whether, if you have Apple clean and repair the machine now, your new-computer warranty and AppleCare plan will be reinstated afterward or whether all you'll have is the short repair warranty from now on. If the spill will negate your warranty and AppleCare even if you have Apple clean it, then the cleaning probably isn't worth paying for. But if paying for the cleaning will get your warranty and AppleCare reinstated, it may be worth doing.

  • I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 4.3.  Now when i copy text from an incoming email and paste it it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.

    I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3).  Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.  It has a border round it and corner markers.  I have never had this problem before.  I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text.  If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?  
    I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

    Peter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing! 
    I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As -  I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!! 
    Thanks for your response.

  • My iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?

    my iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?

    Is it the Home button that doesn't work, or the Power (Sleep/Wake) button? If the Power button works, you can switch it off. Not sure how you have been able to do anything without the Home button working?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
