IOS 8 - contact's responses to a group message where I am included being placed in individual thread as opposed to the group thread?

Has anyone experienced this issue? Here's an example of what is happening:
A group message is initiated by my friend that includes myself and 2 Android users. All of us have group messaging turned on.
Replies from one of the Android users do not get included in the group thread, but in that person's individual thread within Messages. The other user's replies are included in the group thread. My replies are also included in the group thread.
If I turn off iMessages within the settings menu, the replies from the Android user that were previously going into the individual thread now are included within the group thread. If I turn back on iMessages, the replies are separated again whenever they are sent, but only from the one Android user.
Is this a problem with the way the iPhone handles group SMS/MMS messages, or is it an issue with my friend's Android device settings? What makes me think it's an issue on my end is that things work as intended if I turn iMessages off.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
In Group chats in iMessages it seems the iMessages server will not allow you to switch the ID being used for one of the contacts (there is no way to tell if the other people in the group chat know this info and whether the Contacts wants it to be known - at least that is the presumption).
If you want to use his iPhone number then you will have to start a new Chat.
If his Apple ID is on his iPhone and of course on his Mac then it can be the case that iMessages will "offer" the pop ups to enable the ID again.
I find they arrive when I want to do something else and I have to almost dismiss them to proceed.
I find that this will activate a Second Apple ID on a second iPhone or the second iPhone number will suddenly appear Active on the Mac's settings for the iMessages account.

I've just updated my iPad2 to iOS 5.1 and now can't open MyWallet where all my secure info and passwords are held. HELP

I've just updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now can't open MyWallet where all my secure info and passwords are filed. HELP!

The app hasn't been updated in almost a year, so it may not be compatible with iOS 5 or 5.1. They have next to no support information on their web site, so you may need to email them:
[email protected]
The normal route for a single app that won't launch is to remove and reinstall it, but that would probably lose all your information unless you have it synched to a computer. I'd suggest contacting the developer.
Update: their Twitter feed says that they've had to do a number of updates for iOS 5.1 to fix an issue that was crashing all their apps under 5.1, and have submitted them to Apple. So stay tuned for a while and look for an update.
Regards.

IOS-6 contact "Groups" not working

After I installed iOS-6 on my IPhone-4, my "Groups" do not open on my contact list. Syncing doesn't help. What to do?

Was all of your contacts saved directly on your phone? I notice that now in the 'groups' there is no longer a way to display all your contacts - it only shows your existing groups. For Example, I have a lot of contacts on icloud and about 20 that I saved directly on to the phone (ios5) - now it only displays the icloud contacts and there is no way to display the contacts saved directly on to your iphone. I can however see the contacts exist, since when I try to send them a mms, it shows up in the messages app- it is just weird. Try and see if you can see your contacts in your 'Messages' app.

How do I share my contacts with more than one group? I really don't want to have re-type them into a different group. Help!

How do I share my contacts with more than one group without having to re-type them into each group?

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

My contacts disappear after going to "Groups" on iPhone 5

Every time I press the "Groups" button under Contacts, all of my contacts disappear. Any ideas?

I have the exact same issue. It, too, resolved when I turned Contacts off in my iphone 5 ICloud settings. When asked, I chose to Keep the Contacts on my phone and then selected the Merge option when I turned Contacts back on. I also had checked my Groups before I noticed that 12 Contacts were not syncing from the cloud to my phone. I think it's a glitch with the Cloud or with the iOS 6 Contacts app, not with us, personally. I wonder if Apple is aware of this.

I group messaged from my ipad and this has screwed up the way my messages are reveived by my friends (it creates new threads in their phones with my email in place of my contact name) I've stopped messaging from my ipad but the problem remains. Any help?

I have an iPhone 4S and use the group texting feature ALL THE TIME. I recently updated my iPad to the latest software and made the colossal mistake of continuing my group messaging from my iPad while connected to wifi. Doing this has successfully screwed but every group text thread I am in, to the point where its very hard for those involved in the thread to keep up. When I initially messaged those I was already engaged in text threads with it created a new thread in their phones replacing my name in their phones with my email. At first this was not a big deal but ever since then the people I am messaging have become increasingly frustrated with how my messages come through. If I am messaged in a group text and respond to it, sometimes when I respond it will create an entirely different thread in my recipients phones. So at that point they have to switch threads in order to read what I wrote. The new thread that my phone creates will send the message under my email not my name (related to the contact they have me saved as in their phones). The worst part about it is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why or when my phone will send the message as normal or under my email like it did with my iPad. I haven’t messaged from my iPad since these problems immediately began a month ago but the issues still continue. I have tried everything to get this to stop, I’ve turned off my wifi, I’ve had my friends delete the threads that my messages create in their phones. I’ve had them delete my email in their contact lists and nothing has worked. Can you help me? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Note: My phone message no different whatsoever. All the threads have remained the same. The issue is what it is doing to the people that I am messaging.

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is there a maximum number of contacts in an Address Book group?

I have 4,367 contacts. I'm trying to create two different groups, one for my wife and one for me. The majority of the 4,367 contacts will be in my group.
I've tried several time but keep getting the same result.
On the iCloud website I create a new group with my name.
I copy several letters worth of names (say the As through the Cs) from All Contacts lists to the David list.
Everything works fine until I finish the Rs, with about 3,800 contacts. I've tried it signing in and out and everything sticks and looks fine.
From then on every name I add appears under the R banner (see below) and, once I sign out and sign back in, disappears.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I'm using a 6 month old 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 running OS 10.7.4. Not experiencing problems in any other area.

Thanks for the link. I don't think it's a space issue. When I look at my iCloud account through System Preferences it shows that I've got 24.99GB of 25GB available (it's just the Contacts and a personal Calendar).
The rules on limits, though, are really confusing. Total number of contacts 25,000 - I can understand that. Maximum size of a contact card 256KB - ok, I see how if you have War and Peace in the notes section that would be a problem. But what does it mean that maximum size of a contact group is 256KB? That's the same size limit as a single card so I assume they're referring to the size of the list of contact cards in the group. But how many contact cards equals 224KB?!? Based on experience, I'm guessing it equals about 3,800 contact names (which frankly doesn't seem like a lot to me - I've been collecting contacts since I got my first Palm Pilot in 1996, which comes to around 225 names a year, not a lot if you're in business).
Anyway, thanks for the help. If I run across a solution somewhere, I'll post it.

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer and try again.

Vendor Responsibility for Purchasing Groups

Hi experts!
We should assign vendor responsibility for purchasing groups, what means depending on which vendor / source-of-supply is selected in the shopping cart the correct purchasing group is assigned.
Do you have any idea how to handle this in SAP standard?
Can we use a BADI to help out?
Many thanks for your ideas.
Best regards,
Corinne

Do just like the diagram indicates: connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes on the computer and then restore.

Hi there,
Unfortunately the use case you describe hasn't been implemented in Firefox. It's not possible to move a tab group out to its own window at this point. Generally the tab groups feature hasn't been worked on much recently, not sure why.
As to TabMixPlus, that's a third-party add-on which Mozilla doesn't directly support. You can find support links from the add-on page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
David

Any way to see which contacts are NOT in a group?

Hi. In Contacts in Yosemite, is there any way to see a list of contacts who are not in a particular Group?
I've been using Macs for years, and I still can't believe that this is not a fundamental feature. Sure, it's good to know which contacts are in a Group. But it's maybe even more important to know which contacts are not in that Group. (Scanning a list of non-members for people who should be members is a simple task. Scanning All Contacts for people who should be in a Group, then checking each and every one to see whether they are in that Group, is a crazy way to spend time. Sure you can dump it out to Excel or something, but...really?) Not having that feature in a contacts-management app is almost unthinkable, and yet...I've been poking around for years to find it in Contacts. So I'm hoping that Yosemite now has it, but I haven't been able to find it.
Sorry to rant. Thanks!

How to list contact or user in a Group especial in DL by command-line?

I know some commands can list contacts or users in a OU such as
squery user OU-DN
OR
dsquery contact OU-DN
list a group and mark with SecGroup or DL can use by:
dsquery group OU-DN | dsget group -dn -secgrp
and list all members of a group by:
dsget group GroupDN -members
But the list cannot tell me who are contacts and who are users.
Are there any ways can check which members of Group are contacts or users in command-line?
Thanks

This isn't pretty, but it works:
dsquery * -filter "(memberOf=cn=Mygroup,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com)" -attr distinguishedName objectClass
The objectClass attribute indicates whether each member is a user, contact, group, or computer.
