How can I set up iMessage to ensure the text messages people are sending me arrive both on my computer AND on my iPhone as well?

Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

  • How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

    How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
    I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
    Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box.  Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
    TIA
    thokitts

    Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
    Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
    The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
    It seems this should be possible.

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • How can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album?

    Hi
    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 with (Revel). My question ist how can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album? I would like only to have pictures in Library which are included in a online album.

    Hi there,
    I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?
    Here is a link with some helpful information:

  • How Can I Set Photoshop to Default Open the Most Recent Folder

    Lately, Photoshop CC always opens a default folder-which is several clicks away from the folder I am using. How do I set it to default to the most recent open folder when I click "OPEN" ?

    They would seem to be, but it's possible that they were released separately in the iTunes Store. Some apps are different but named the same (Angry Birds being a case in point). Not having any of those apps I can't say with any certainty. It's definitely not normal for iTunes to keep older versions.
    If you're still on Mac OS X 10.5.6 as your profile indicates, update to 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes and see if that makes any difference.
    Regards.

  • How do I set up my ipad to receive text messages?  I cannot locate my iPhone number to select it.

    I am unable to set up my ipad to receive text messages from my phone. My phone number does not show up in the settings/iMessage section. Only my email.

    Have a look at this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    NOTE: You will still only be able to receive iMessages on the iPad. It does not do SMS at all unless yougo to a third party app.

  • How can I set up imessage with a different email

    I  needed to change my email and Apple ID. Now my daughter's imessaging won't work b/c it  it was associated with my old account. 

    It sounds like you're trying to set your daughter her own account? Create one at https://appleid.apple.com/ and set it up on her iPad Mini. Now - if you want to transfer over the email address she was using on your account, to her new one, so her friends can still get in touch/don't need to learn a new email...
    Disassociate the email from your old account...
    Log into your old apple id https://appleid.apple.com/
    Then, under alternate email addresses, remove the one she uses.
    Associate with the new account...
    Log in to her account https://appleid.apple.com/
    Press +email address and enter it
    After verifying it, go to the iMessage settings on the iPad (settings > iMessage)
    Then, make sure you tick the new email address to receive messages, and ensure that 'start new conversations from' matches the new address.
    All being well, your daughter shouldn't notice a difference. This also future proofs it, she won't be forever tied to your Apple ID when she leaves home etc...
    However, now she's on a new account - you won't be able to share purchases - I don't know if you want to? If so.... you can setup Family Sharing! It's super easy and means you can access each others content. Enjoy!

  • How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

    I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

    If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone. 
    If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  • When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

    Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
    I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
    With which email client?

  • How can I set #HOST# variable referenced in the Chart template?

    #HOST# and #HOST_PROTOCOL# are being set incorrectly by APEX from CGI variables when I create a chart. I am using APEX 4.1 and Oracle 11g. The get the continual "Loading data..." and then after it times out I get "Error loading file".
    Before we changed to a secure http environment, our charts worked. After we changed to the new web layer, the charts do not work. The #HOST# substitution was set to http://correctservername/ and #HOST_PROTOCOL# was set to http. We set PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList REQUEST_PROTOCOL=https in the dads configuration file and now the #HOST# displays https but it also includes the default port number which we do not want (https://correctservername:port/) The charts work without the port. REQUEST_PROTOCOL is not in the cgi list and setting this variable set #HOST_PROTOCOL#. What variable can we set to make #HOST# correct. It seems like #HOST# is being set by #REQUEST_PROTOCOL#'://'||HTTP_HOST||':'||SERVER_PORT||SCRIPT_NAME||'/'. SERVER_NAME could also be used in of HTTP_HOST. I don't know how APEX is setting #HOST#. Does it come from a host alias somewhere in the environment?
    I don't want to add a new cgi variable called HOST because HOST sounds so generic and it might interfere with something else running in our environment. Or, I don't want to change the plsql cgi environment variable (such as HTTP_HOST) because many developers may use owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST') to get the current server. If the SERVER_PORT is part of the #HOST# then what could I change it to if it needs to be null. If you leave it blank, then the default SERVER_PORT comes from the CGI variables.
    I would rather not create a global variable (hard-coding) and create a new chart template using the global variable or create a before header application process to re-direct url without a port.

    Hi Donna,
    changing the CGI environment variables HTTP_HOST, REQUEST_PROTOCOL and SERVER_PORT is the correct way how to resolve this, because it appears that your hiding the web server where you have installed mod_plsql or EPG by a different outside facing web server (also called reverse proxy). That's why APEX gets the host name, protocol and port of the internal web server, but should actually get the values of your reverse proxy web server. Can can fix that by changing the following CGI environment variables.
    HTTP_HOST should just contain the domain name (no protocol or port). For example: www.oracle.com
    REQUEST_PROTOCOL should contain http or https
    SERVER_PORT should be the port for https

If the SERVER_PORT is part of the #HOST# then what could I change it to if it needs to be null. If you leave it blank, then the default SERVER_PORT comes from the CGI variables.The value of HTTP_HOST is wrong anyway and points to your internal web server, but I assume your developers actually want to get the host name of your external web server if they use it to generate absolute URLs. That's why I wouldn't bother and set it to the correct host name.

  • Ajax: How can I set Item of type "Display as text" ?

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to set an item to a calculated value using ajax. I'm perfectly able to do so for items of the type text field using any of the many examples available on the web, but I can't make it work with an item of the type "display as text".
    What I'd like to achieve is set a value in a form field and then have a hyperlink appear next to it with that value as one of the arguments. Any idea on how to make this work ?
    Rgds
    Koen

    Hello Jari,
    Following your comments I changed the following to my javascript script:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function sumItems(){
    function getVal(item){
    if(document.getElementById(item).value != "")
    return parseFloat(document.getElementById(item).value);
    else
    return 0;
    /* test1
    $x('P18_TOTAL').innerHTML = getVal('P18_ONE');
    /* test2
    document.getElementById('P18_TOTAL').innerHTML = getVal('P18_ONE');
    </script>
    The result in both cases (test1 and test2 ) is that nothing happens. In Firefox I don't get any warnings in the error console but in google chrome is see the following message when inspecting the element:
    Uncaught Error: NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: DOM Exception 7
    [Exception] #<a DOMCoreException>
    I believe its something very trivial I'm missing - can you give me some more direction please ?

  • How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?

    Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

    I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
    *You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
    *You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
    *In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.
    *'''''Default FullZoom Level''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *'''''NoSquint''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    **More info on NoSquint: http://urandom.ca/nosquint/
    You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".

  • Why can i only recieve iMessage but not regular text messages?

    All today, my phone has not been delivering me my regular, green text messages from anyone. But my phone will deliver me my iMessages, blue texts from my friends with iPhones. A message did pop up saying that my SMS mailbox was full and that I needed to delete messages before my messages would be received, but I went through and deleted over 400 SMS messages and that usually does the trick and the undelivered messages pour in.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    My experience has been that the first step in figuring out SMS issues is to check with the cell provider and be sure nothing has changed with the account provisioning or with the provider.  Once you've eliminated this, it's time to explore issues with the device or device OS.
