Will my iphone 5 still work if I unregister it with Apple and will iMessage still work without it being registered?

Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?

If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else.  They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages.

  • My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

    The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
    If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
    If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

    if i made an appt. with Apple, and i asked them if i could switch my black Iphone 5 to a white Iphone 5, because i always have trouble with black Iphones, would they let me?

    i've had black iphones in the past, and the same thing always gets messed up, the network, i will not have service what-so ever, and when my mother's iphone will be right next to me and she will have full service. Also the lock screen button/power button broke on both of my black iphones as well. i was just wondering if they would consider. Does apple have an email i could contact?

    Try going to your Apple support profile. It may still be listed there.

  • I am looking to create an app that add widgets to iphone, is it ok with apple and what shall I do?

    I am looking to create an app that add widgets to iphone, is it ok with apple and what shall I do?

    In iOS, those would have to be standalone apps due to the sandboxed design of iOS and its use of memory and resources.  There is already an abundance of clock, weather and calendar apps in the app store.  You can certainly make some of your own, but just realize yours would have to offer something really different or unique to stand out in the crowd of similar apps.

  • HT201328 At&t doesn't allow me to unlock my iphone 5 'til the guaranty of 1 year with Apple ends, is this correct?!

    At&amp;t doesn't allow me to unlock my iphone 5 'til the guaranty of 1 year with Apple ends, is this correct?!

    The 1 year warranty has nothing to do with AT&T's unlocking policy. Your contractual agreement with AT&T is what matters. You must have misunderstood them, or whoever told you that misspoke.

  • I do not what tech. is lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to support turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference btw 4 and 4s and yet 4S can support turn by turn. very disappointed with apple and i will not purchase iphone5.

    I do not know what tech. s lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to use turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference between 4 vs 4S and yet 4S is able to support it. I am very disappointed with apple as i was when 4S was released. I will not purchase iphone5 becuase i think its nowhere near what apple calls it "perfect". there are plenty of other phone around. Lumia 920 for example is a much better phone. Just disappointed with apple...

    the fine print in the map section states that turn by turn is only available for 4S and up.

  • Tried to restore and update iPhone 3GS, has been in the "verifying restore with apple" stage for an hour. what should i doo?

    okay, so lately my iPhone 3GS has been telling me i have no service what so ever for the past two days. But today when i was on the bus going home from school, i had perfect service and everything until i got close to my house (to clarify, i live somewhat far out from the center of town, and my school is right in the middle of town.. didnt know if that would affect anything). So then i asked my Dad about it and he reccomended restoring and updating my phone to see if it helped because im a couple updates behind. So i plugged it in, backed it up, and began to restore and update it. All was well until it got to the "verifying the restore with apple" stage. I was watching the rose bowl and not paying attention while it was on, but remembered that it started that stage at the beginning of the game. Now the game just ended 5 or 10 minutes ago and lasted a goood hour, hour an a half, and its still verifying!! i dont know what to do... HELP!

    Did you check the security software settings? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the update process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

  • Why doesn't my IPad purchases no longer transfer to my IPhone 4S.  I am really getting very annoyed with Apple and their products.

    I have never had issues with purchases made on my IPad or IPhone transferring to the other device.  Today, I purchased a song from ITunes on my IPad and it didn't transfer/sync to my IPhone 4S.  I tried syncing my phone on for the song on my MacBook Pro, and I got this crazy (and annoying) message stating I can't transfer the song for NINETY DAYS!  What did Apple do to ITunes and why?  I am getting so frustrated with Apple that if this continues, I will never again purchase another Apple product.

    There should be no reason you can't sync your itunes library to your iphone...
    Plug your phone into itunes... click on the iphone that is in the corner.. .it usually says your name... such as Lisa's iphone or whatever... then you will see some tabs such as... summary, music, videos, photos... on each one of those you need to check what you want to sync to your iphone. Once you check those boxes then click apply then scroll down and sync... do that one each section -photos, music etc...
    Apple doesn't want you to buy things over... that's why when you buy something trough itunes you can download it as many times as you want for life!

  • Why wont my iphone's internet work without wifi?

    two days ago I restored my phone with itunes backup and now I can't use my internet without wifi. my cellular data is on, i have unlimited data,and i took it to the store and they didn't give me any help. any advice on what i can do to fix this?

    i first took it to the cricket store (my cell phone carrier) and they said they only cover talk and text since my phone is flashed over. so i took it to the store i flashed it at and they said the ios7 update prevents them from fixing any problems (which made no sense to me) i have full bars in some places usually 3g next to it but some times i have low bars with 1x next to it

  • Ipod Touch works with APPLE and not WINDOWS

    I have a first generation touch. Yesterday the PC crashed while syncing with the iTouch. After that it would not see the iPod any longer. However the APPLE I have sees it just fine. I have gone through the detailed uninstall and re install itunes process several times and tried cleaning the registry - still nothing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 .
    The PC based iTunes syncs with another 2G and a nano and a shuffle just fine. Windows also sees the 1G Touch..... ideas other than moving my library to my laptop? I have also reset the 1G and upgraded the software now to the latest firmware. It still works with the APPLE but not with the PC. I am sure this is a driver issue but I cannot get it fixed.

    Well I happened on the answer after doing a lot of searches. Why doesn't apple post the fix on their site. This problem is due to their installation package for Vista and the fix does not require all the uninstalls and re installs you have been asked to do so many times....

    Re: Ipod touch is recognized as a camera
    Posted: Feb 16, 2009 7:43 AM in response to: Twin195 Reply Email
    This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
    2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account
    3. Single left click on START
    4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)
    5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)
    6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)
    7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)
    8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties
    9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab
    10. Single left click on " Update driver "
    11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista
    12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown
    13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "
    14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.
    15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.
    16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.
    17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.
    Hope this works for you as it did for me and several others.
