How to continue iMessage on laptop after iPhone ceased to exist?

Long story short, I'm getting rid of my iPhone, but I still want to use iMessage. If the contacts to my contact list have my phone number, how will I be able to continue my conversation with them. Should I send them all my iCloud apple address? Please explain in clear terms, because I am relatively computer illiterate.

Messages on your Mac works in tandem with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

  • How can I reinstall safari on the iphone running ios 8.1.3 5 safari disappeared after the last update

    How can I reinstall safari on the iPhone 5 with ios 8.1.3? Safari disappeared after or while I was doing the update.

    Safari is an integrated application and cannot be deleted, but it can be hidden by setting restriction.  Check settings / general / Restrictions and see if Safari is simply disabled.  If not, then it must be somewhere on your iPhone because it can not be deleted, that is maybe it drew into a folder, so use Spotlight search to look for.

  • Messages of the Sierra and the problems of continuity iMessage

    I took these communities to try to resolve a problem which, for me, is as old as the first day iMessage became available for Mac.

    I can't emphasize how incredibly boring, it is completely out of sync how both are. The problems are always the same:

    (1) never are conversations in the issue of order/same on both devices. For example, for a conversation that has been exploited to iMessage on my iPhone, when I open my Mac, it appears in the notifications, like new. All the answers are there.

    (2) a conversation that has been deleted from the iPhone suddenly appears on the opening on my Mac... seriously?

    (3) the conversations that are deleted on my iPhone does not disappear in the Messages and vice versa.

    To sum it all, pretty much the case is that both apps, while they expected to work simultaneously with fluidity to do what they want when they want.

    This has been a problem since iMessage became available on Mac OS for the first time (think it was Mavericks). I've been waiting for Apple to fix this with each software update to make OSX or iOS. But guess what...?

    My Mac running OS Sierra and my iPhone 6 s more running iOS 10.0.1. Everything that could be activated in so that they can work together has been activated and triple checked. I would really like to know if anyone has a way to fix this or if there is other people are having the same problem.

    Hello

    An excellent explanation of exactly how iMessages works on iPhone and Mac.

    It does the same thing, if you add in an iPad or and iPod Touch.

    iMessages are pushed, the Treaty is called, for devices that have been associated with (by adding the Apple ID on an iPhone).

    This means that it is not as Mail where are read from the server and in the case of a POP account you can choose to let the "message" on the server if other devices can read.

    IMAP accounts will be synchronized as you say but POP will be more like the Messages app with iMessages.

    The iMessages which is addressed to you are marked by the number of devices is in the opportunity to see it.

    He pushes the devices until they respond (Accept) once this device has accepted it is removed from signage and only devices that did not have a chance on seeing.

    There is a time limit on how long the iMessages is pushed to a device (such that being away from your Mac turned off everything on vacation or phone that died or was out of range of the carrier)

    Once the device have the iMessages it is removed from the server.

    A simpler view is that the iMessages is "copied" and sent to each device and that each device can not see the other "versions" and that each "copy" is deleted from the server that happens on the device.

    The news to "read" your comments, you might see comes that of the device, it was intended to (i.e. addressing a number only the iPhone to another end may, so together, to send the reply 'read').

    Same thing with sent.  This is why you get a response, when he showed even "Delivered" as someone can answer from a connected device.

    This means that the 'Sync' is really only show on all devices and nothing do you on one device will be the effect of the other.

    It is not broken, even if this isn't what you think that told you about the device.

  • How do I fix my laptop to connect to my wireless router?

    How do I fix my laptop to connect to my router wirelrss?

    Hello

    Check with the router manufacturer, their online documentation and forums support (if any). Most have
    excellent tutorials online. The router must be configured before connecting to it.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    More troubleshooting:

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Make sure you know the details of connection to your wireless router - SSID and password.

    You lose connection when you do and have to redo your logon.

    Control Panel - Network & Sharing Center - right, click Customize - page set of network locations.
    lower left click on merge or delete network locations - REMOVE all instances of your network (and the
    others you don't use anymore) - REBOOT. Start - Connect To log on to the network.
