iMessage in foreign country
My question is:
I recently moved to a foreign country with my iPhone 4S and did not set up an international plan with my carrier, so I cannot send or receive SMS. However, for the last two months since I have arrived, I have been able to use iMessage with my contacts just fine. When I'm connected to wifi, the text bubbles illuminate blue, and they send and receive. However, recently I went onto iCloud to adjust my account setting including my email. I must have done something that caused my US phone number to become unlinked with my iMessage. NOW, I can RECEIVE my iMessages like normal (my number appears greyed-out in my "Send & Receive" tab under Settings>Messages) but my phone number is absent from the "Send from:" list. From what I understand, I am supposed to be receiving an SMS text to activate iMessage with my number, but I cannot receive the message without an international plan. My question to the community is what the best avenue is to link my number again to SEND iMessages from my US number. Is this something to discuss with Apple or AT&T (my carrier). Furthermore, has Apple planned for this seemingly apparent problem, and if not, then why isn't there an alternate way to sync the number? Thanks for any help!

I have an iPhone 5 and everything was working fine. Just yesterday I connected my phone to the computer to sync music and things just got messed up!!
All my album art got mixed up on the phone.
Album 'A' has artwork of Album 'B',
Album 'C' has artwork of Album 'A'
Album 'D' has artwork for Album 'B' etc .. You get the point..
All the other tags are fine its just the album art that is messed up. The album art is correctly assigned on the computer and shows up exactly as it should.
I have tried the following:
1. Unsync all music and then resync
2. Manually delete albums on teh device and then resync
3. Sync over wifi
4. Sync using cable
None of the above solutions have worked.
All songs purchased from the store if downloaded directly to the device shows up with proper artwork BUT as soon as I sync it with the computer it gets messed up again !!!!
I want to avoid reseting to factory defaults. Is there anything I can do before I erase all data.
Iphone / Ipod touch syncing
I have recently purchased an Iphone, and I also happen to have an ipod touch which I still use, and whenver I download an app on my iphone, it automaticially downloads it onto my ipod, and vice versa. Is it caused by both devices having my apple ID on them or iCloud? How do I get rid of this?

Hi,
Trying to back up my iPhone 5 to iTunes. I believe I have the most recent updates of iTunes and my iPhone.
Also in preferences I have deleted all back ups. A message keeps coming up saying the back up is corrupt or incompatible with the iPhone.
Any help?
Thanks

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5 (from an iPhone 4).
When I plugged my new phone into my computer, iTunes did not recognize a new phone.
Windows recognized a new device, but iTunes did not.
iTunes shows my other devices.
Bought the phone at Best Buy - they set it up for me. (I set up my iPhone 4 myself, using iTunes.)
I mostly want to get my music onto my new phone.
Everything else is on my phone- contacts, apps... just no music.
Not sure what I need to do!
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Of late I am stuck with frustrating iphone5 issue, where mobile data is coming back once is turn off my wifi.
Once I am out of range of my home wifi I usually switch of wifi and use my 3G mobile data. These days I am unable to get back to mobile data once wifi is switched off. I need to switching off and on my mobile data multiple times or switch on and off iphone 5 .
Any one facing similar issues? And why these issues after using it for aroung 6 months.

Hi - I live in Cambodia and my iPhone has been very happy on 3G & wifi. I've just been back to the UK and popped in a UK SIM card for a couple of weeks, same thing, wifi & 3G worked fine. I've returned to Cambodia & put my old SIM card back in and everything is fine on wifi, but on 3G I can get all my mail, send messages and access FB, but when I try Safari (or Dolphin, another browser) it just won't connect. (Ditto my weather app!) This has been happening for 3 days.
In that time, I've:
- reset and re-entered all my moblile data details (in fact the mobile company did that at the airport too and they were stumped). I've tried again since then
- cleared all my data, cookies and history on Safari
- backed up and restored my phone completely in case it was a software issue with Safari
- tried searching communities but haven't yet found anyone who can access email but not the net!
I'm now at a loss to know what else to try. Any help appreciated!!
Thanks
Steve

HI All,
At my place I am only allowed to connect 1 personal device to the work's WIFI. So I connect my Iphone 5. Now I want to tether my iPad mini to my Iphone 5 (using personal hotspot, bluetooth) but as soon as I do that the Iphone disables the WIFI so I end up using my iPhone 3G signal and not the free Wifi. Is this normal or did my provider disable it?
thanks
