When I use iMessage to another iPhone user, I was told it was my Apple ID that was displayed, instead of my phone number. We are on each other's contact lists but do not exchange email address. Is there anyway to prevent my Apple ID disclosed.
When I delete a message from a conversation in the IOS 8, it remains the most recent conversation. in IOS7, the conversation reverted back to the last message that was not deleted. Is there a way to change this feature?
When switching on iMessage I get the iMessage password screen but for some reason my apple Id is displayed incorrectly and therefore I can't verify. How can I change it?
When I turned on my iMessage setting, it automatically used my apple ID/email address instead of my name when I text someone and I don't know how to change it to just my name.
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 last night and then today when I texted someone else with an iPhone using iMessage, my contact came up as my Apple ID email on their phone instead of my name that was associated with my phone number. This obviously caused a lot of confusion because my email isn't my name and the person I texted didn't know who the message was from. The message looks completely normal on my phone and their contact came up fine but mine didn't work on theirs. I also determined it was my phone that was the problem because I texted another person with an iPhone and the same exact thing happened again. I checked to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find any postings on the Apple forum. So if you are having the same problem and/or know how to fix it,
I can confirm my 4S and all my other devices are not able to activate iMessage after it is toggled off and back on. It simply stays stuck on "Waiting for activation" and eventually goes to "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on imessage to try again". All with no avail. get your engineers on this ASAP apple. More and more people are facing this issue. Devices that are already receiving and sending imessages are unaffected. However when you toggle imessage off and then back on, it does not reactivate. This must clearly be a ongoing issue with your icloud server from yesterdays outages.
my iphone was stolen, I need to turn off imessage as I am using an android phone whilst waiting for iphone 5. I can text iphone users but no iphone user can text me as they go to imessage, my carrier (Vodafone) cannot help. I cannot see how to turn off imessage online and Apple telephone support?
My parents both have iPhone 4s and are both sharing my dads apple id to download apps and sync their phones to the same computer. They just recently updated to the iOS 5 and now my moms iPhone is texting with iMessage using my dads apple id, is there a way for her to use iMessage w/o it using my dads id?
I have two iPhone 4 handsets. One is for work and one is my private number. Currently I am using the same Apple ID on both phones, as I want to use the apps I've purchased on both devices and get my contacts from iCloud.
As I usually bring both handsets with me, it is annoying to receive the same iMessage to both phones. Is there anyway to create two separate "iMessage accounts" such that I can use iMessage on both phones, but messages sent to my work phone will only be received on my work phone, and similarly, the iMessages sent to my private phone will only be received on my private phone?
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 when it was released. My friend updated his iPhone 4S delayed, yesterday. Before yesterday iMessage worked well between our iPhones.But since my friend updated to iOS 5.1 as well, iMessage does not work anymore between our two iPhones.iMessage works well with all other adresses we both use as well. But only our two iPhones cannot use iMessage anymore.
i have noticed that after switching to ios 5.1 my phone has been acting funny. for example: when i am messaging other iphone users with iMessage, it keeps switching from iMessage to regular text every 2 or 3 messages. at first i thought it was the other person since i am normally within my works wifi network and at my home wifi network, but it seems that this problem only occurs to other people when imessaging with me and not with anyone else. and this problem occurs to me while imessaging everyone, so i have come to the conclusion that the problem must be my phone. i have noticed this problem to occur since updating to ios 5.1. has anyone else experienced this problem? what can i do? i am 2 steps shy of reinstalling my phone.
Why does my phone number displayed in settings the wrong number?The Number that appears as My Number in settings> Phone, is displayed as the wrong number to what the sim card is, not a major problem but?
It is as if the + button for volume is constantly being pushed. There may have been some damage because my phone did drop a few times, but how do i now get rid of the display on the screen? Is there a way to turn it off?
With my Blackberry I was able to access the internet via Sprint's network or Wi-Fi. Am I only able to access the Net via Wi-Fi on my iphone? I'm still with Sprint.
I want to limit the amount of emails that are downloaded to my mail app. I can only find instruction for doing this in ios7. I am using ios8. I don't have a “Mail Days to Sync” option.
Whenever I play song over my iPhone using default music app, 2 kind of display i do see.
1. without songs navigation on time
2. With songs navigation on time with some text which has been added to the file.
Now, could anyone tell me how to edit the text displayed on the screen? I tried the lyrics and everything on itunes music file properties.
I have attached the screen shot. In that screent, some email address and website name displayed. How to edit it? Which property of the music file has been displayed here?
The story so far: I bought an accessory in Nov 2011 at an Apple Retail Store. (Philips dual-dock speaker) It started malfunctioning in Mar 2012. (Dock not charging anymore) I brought it to an Apple Store (closer to my place), they were happy to replace it on the spot, except that there was none in stock. So I was advised to go to an other Store (the original one), where they had stock. So far, so good for service. I went to the other store, but there I was told that they could not replace it because I had bought it more than 14 days before, so I had to contact the manufacturer directly! So my questions are:
- What is, if any, the actual policy on non-Apple product repair & replacement?
- Why don't all store follow the same policy?
- Should I just try my luck again with another person, until I strike gold and get it replaced?
