Is there a way to make 3g and not wi-fi the priority for sending text messages to someone using an iOS5 device?

Here's the problem:  I am often in a building which has free wifi but the wifi requires that you accept the terms of use during every browsing session.  If I receive a text message from someone who is also using iOS5, the phone seems to default to wi-fi to send my response.  If I have not yet accepted the terms of use for the building's wi-fi, my phone wont send the text message response.  I don't know if that is because the phone is connected to a wifi signal albeit one that can't yet access the internet.  For whatever reason, the phone is just trapped in a "sending messge" loop and wont break out of it until I open my browser and accept the terms of use.  This is the situation notwithstanding the fact that I have 3g service and the signal is available to send sms/mms.
Can anyone offer a suggestion other than disabling wi-fi?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.  I looked at my settings and the phone has been set on "send as SMS"--but for some reason, the phone is continuing to try to send it over wifi despite the lack of an internet connection on wifi.  It would seem that after a minute or more of trying, the phone would recognize that wifi wasnt available and would send it on SMS but it apparently doesnt.  I can, of course, turn off iMessage but I dont like the idea of having to do that everytime---particularly since an increasing number of my contacts are using iOS5 devices.
Thanks again for your response but it does seem that there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

  • Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

    Is my name even sent when I send text messages?  If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?  When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

    is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
    It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
    So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android  phone?
    If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
    Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.

  • Is there a way to make all addons not write anything locally, instead use ram memory?

    Pretty much what it says right there.
    Is there a way to make all addon's write only on RAM?
    I'm pretty certain Private Browsing only works for vanilla Firefox, and many addons don't keep that in mind.
    Is there a firefox setting I can manipulate to make everything RAM only? Something like limiting the amount of data addons can write on disk or something along those lines?

    Session cookies are kept in memory AFAIK and never written to disk.
    What makes you think that Firefox is saving them to disk?
    You can look at the portable Firefox version if you want to minimize writes to the disk that stores your Firefox profile.

  • Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

    I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
    I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

    You have 2 options:
    1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
    You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
    NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least  (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
    2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas:  like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
    If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
    Select the movie
    Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
    Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
    Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
    Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

  • Is there a way to make PSE 13 NOT open all my photos when I open the program?

    Is there a default location when I can change it so that when I open PSE 13 Organizer it does not open all the photos in the Album?  I would rather that It just opened the Folders and let me choose which file to open.  I have Windows 7 if that makes any difference.  thanks...

  • Is there a way to make a "music" playlist that contains videos? for iCruze

    Hello,
    I just purchase a 5th generation iPOD video to replace an old 15GB iPOD in my wife's car. The old iPOD has worked wonderfully in my wife's car, playing audio (MP3s) with an iCruze interface to the factory stereo.
    In case you haven't heard of iCruze, essentially it has a little box that interfaces to the factory stereo just like a CD changer. I can load up to 10 playlists in my iPOD (labeled 1 - 10), and then I can select them, FF, REW, etc using the factory stereo. There is also a seperate LCD module that plugs into the iCruze that shows the artist and song name from the iPOD.
    Although the iCruze is a little quirky, it does a pretty good job by allowing us to select songs I want to use via the factory stereo.
    So, I got a great idea. I figured I would create a new playlist with videos, and plug the video cable into the DVD player, and be able to watch DVDs from the iPOD. No more scratched DVDs, no more losing disks, etc.
    Anyway, it appears the video playlists don't work with the iCruze. I created 1 playlist with just videos, but the iCruze can't see it. It can see the other 8 that just have music and play them just fine. If I manually select the movie on the iPOD, the video displays on the DVD screen, too, so I am almost there, I think...
    So, does anyone know of a way to "trick" my iPOD into making a music playlist that contains videos? I tried renaming an MP4 video to MP3, but iTunes said it couldn't play the file.
    Any suggestions would be welcome...

    Playlists are shown under Music > Playlists or within the sidebar. Click once on a playlist name to select it and click again to start editing the text of the name, the text will become higlighted with the cursor flashing at the right hand end. It's not part of the edit playlist rules dialog, or a menu option.

  • HT5463 Is there a way to make only my notes private?

    When I had a palm pilot, I was able to make memos, addresses, or notes private individually.  I did not have to use a password for my entire device.  Is there a way in Notes to make some information private?

    That would be contrary to the purpose of private browsing, not saving a record of the private browsing session.

  • Is there any way to see what I have stored in the Cloud for iTunes?

    I am looking to find if some TV shows I bought are in my Cloud. They are in my libarry currently, but I want to make sure that if my computer ever crashes and loses data, that they won't be lost. I am looking for a way to see all the content that is in the Cloud for iTunes, but I have only find the webpage that shows contacts, notes, ect. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

    No, Apple very rarely make advance announcements of bug fixes.
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library for the old search behavior.
    Alternatively you roll back to iTunes 10.7. If so, first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
    You might also want to use iTunes Feedback.

  • How do I make a different Mail account the default for sending new messages?

    I have several email accounts in Mail. When I go to Preferences> Accounts I see them. The account on top of the list is the default one for sending mail. I want one of the lower ones instead. Can I select this or move it to the top position (if that is what gives it priority)?

    Open Mail as usual and, at the sidebar, press the arrow next to "Inbox", so all your email accounts will show up under it. Simply hold the Command key and drag the email account you want to use by default to the first position. This will make it the default mail account to send emails

  • Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

    I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
    1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
    2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
    Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
    Thanks!

  • I must be missing something; is there a way to make lines and arrows in PSE9?

    I'm trying to add an arrow to a photo to point out certain features. I'm lost; I see no way to do this???
    Thanks much
    Ron

    Two easy ways:
    1. Select the custom shape tool, select all elements shapes and
       choose from the arrows.
    2. Use the line tool and either draw a line or adjust the settings under arrowheads.
