Ok, I have been on the phone twice now with customer support, all I want is an alert sent to my IPad for data usages !
I want an alert sent to my iPad, or my phone, they can not, or will not do it? My phone is through at&t, Verizon will not except any phone number that is not a Verizon! WHY? my iPad is through Verizon, I know they can send alerts to the iPad, because they did it, they sent me a new password through an alert? I went over on my data plan because I did not get the alert in time, it was sent through email, a day late! Also, i asked about being able to serf the Internet and talk on the phone on Verizon, I was told that only 4G devices are capable, Wow,! I have been able to to this with my AT&T iPhone 3Gs from day one. I am now rethinking if I want to switch to Verizon? Is AT&T really that much more advanced?

Only on the ipad 2 has the reminders i was told. Can u get my verizon app in the apple market? I did that for the iphone4 verizon. U can always sign in my verizon on ur ipad. Even if u switch to get a phone with verizon the ipad is on a different #.

TS2755 I can't send txt messages to a phone number overseas.

I can't send txt msgs to a phone number in Canada. it was working fine up until a few days ago. I now get a "not delivered" error.
I'm with Optus, and have verified it's not a carrier issue.
When I put my sim in another phone send a txt to the number it is fine.
Put my sim back in my phone, and i get "not delivered"
So far to try and fix the issue - I have updated to iOs7, reset factory setting, restored from backup, deleted and entered the number again, typed the number in directly, deleted the message history.. nothing works!
I am at a loss, and can txt, mms & imessage to everyone else.
Yes the phone number is correct, and has the +1.
I have an iphone 4s, model MD234X/A

Blue is for registered iMessage users with an iphone. This service is free. Green is for sending SMS to people without iPhones, and requires an SMS plan with your provider. If you are trying to send an SMS to a friend, and you are out of texts on your phone, it will not send.

Why won't my iPad send pictures ?

My iPad has been acting up lately with not being able to send pictures . I can receive them and send messages period fine, but when it comes to sending pictures there a load but it stops like 3/4 away from sending . It's becoming very frustrating and I have noticed it start doing this since I update the software to IOS 6! Please help me . Also it does send email through any other app or site and through email but ONLY NOT in iMessage. I have seen many forums where people have the same problem and Apple surely needs to find a solution :(

Hi darceyam,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iCloud Drive. If you are having issues accesssing your previous files, you may find the following article helpful:
What if I don't see all my files at iCloud.com?
Any documents that you've already stored in iCloud are automatically moved to iCloud Drive when you upgrade. iCloud.com will display these files in the new iCloud Drive app in addition to the iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) that you're used to seeing.
If you don’t see your files in the iWork apps or in iCloud Drive, then make sure that you set up iCloud Drive on all of your devices.

Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.

Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.

If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty.

HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

Why isn't my iPad sending my hotmail emails?

Yes I Can, but not when I answered direct from the hotmail on the IPad.
I think I will take it to the Apple store, they are pretty good.
Thanks so much.

Why won't my ipad let me play email attached wmv videos?

Why won't my ipad let me play email attached wmv videos?

Windows media files are not natively supported - have you had a look in the app store to see if there are any apps that support WMV files ?

By Jove, you're right. Sorry.
I assume the poster hasn't checked out the alternatives here.

Why won't my iPad mini synch with my PC (Windows XP)?

Why won't my iPad mini synch with my PC (running Windows XP)? When I run iTunes it does not recognize it. I have to upgrade iTunes but it upgrade says it doesn't see the Internet. Help? I'm a Mac person trying to run this on a PC (given to me by work).

HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

The iPad 1 can only run iOS up to 5.1.1. It can't be updated beyond that.
