on what version of osx are you using?  recommended 10.9.4 you can upgrade for free as long as you have the app store
are you using imessage and not just sms?  use your apple id to sign in on messages on your phone (settings)
imessage is blue bubble when you send a text sms is a green text bubble.

  • Why wont my homesharing let me control the apple tv?

    Why wont my homesharing let me control the apple tv?

    Could be a hardware problem.
    First try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

    The two computers are not on the same local network, or are not both authorized to the same account.

    Hi Amitt_s,
    After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup?  If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

  • Whenever I try to log into my itunes it says I have a -50 error, but I'm not downloading anything. I don't know why it won't let me log in.

    I don't know why my itunes won't let me log in. All the Apple website tells me is that it's an error when I'm downloading something, but I'm not downloading anything.

    Hey shelbylynn18,
    Thanks for the question. (-50) is a timeout error that can occur when downloading content or when simply trying to access the iTunes Store. If you have automatic downloads enabled, you may be experiencing this error when iTunes is attempting to automatically download available content.
    iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
    This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
    - Firewalls
    - Web Accelerators
    - Ad Filters
    - Virus Protection Software
    Resolution
    If you have any of the software listed above, and you cannot access the iTunes Store or complete your download, you will need to configure these applications to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.
    Refer to the documentation that came with that software, and if necessary contact the software's manufacturer. You will need to configure the software to allow the following domains to send and receive data from the Internet.
    - itunes.apple.com
    - ax.itunes.apple.com
    - albert.apple.com
    - gs.apple.com
    - deimos3.apple.com
    - phobos.apple.com
    If a web accelerator appears to be causing the issue, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the software manufacturer. If your computer is on a network, you may also want to try using a different computer on the network, or discuss the issue with the network administrator.

  • Why wont my macpro let me install up dates

    why wont my macpro retna let me install updates ??

    If you have Mountain Lion, and are having problems downloading the 10.8.4 update, try going to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 and download and install the Combo update...that sometimes works better than the Software Update approach.

  • Why wont Illustrator CC let me use Alt + Scroll on my mouse to zoom in and out smoothly?

    When i use Illustrator CS6 i am able to zoom in and out smothly by pressing my option key on my Mac and then scroll with my mouse. It wont let me do that in Illustrator CC, why not? Also i should not that this zoom does not use the zoom tool on the left hand tool bar.
    Thank you for any help.

    Did Option+mouse scroll ever zoom smoothly? (Wish it did.)
    For me it zooms in hops: 50, 66.67, 100, 150, 200 etc. same as when you click with the zoom tool.
    You can of course enter exact zoom %s at the bottom left of the Illie window but that’s not smooth either.

  • Why wont my mac let me conect my ipone to it in iTunes

    Why won't my MAc compter allow me to connect any of my devices in iTunes?

    I am having the same problem. Are your devices running IOS 7? After I downloaded IOS 7 on my devices is when they were no longer recognized by my Mac computer with iTunes 10. You may have to download iTunes 11.1 (although I am not positive) but I am reluctant to do this myself because of all of the problems that people have been having with 11.1.
