When i go to send a new text, the text field isn't blank. There is already text entered in the message body that I have to go in and delete before typing my new text. this prevents me from forwarding anything through text because if I get something I wish to forward, selecting forward as an option always brings up the same junk just like when trying to send a new message. How can i remedy this?

Here it goes -
1) Download iBackupBot: http://download.cnet.com/iBackupBot/3000-2141_4-10969873.html
2) Plug phone into computer and run backup
3) Use "Explorer" box to find Messages: HomeDomain/Library/SMS/Drafts/(null).draft/
4) In "Null Drafts" there is a file "message.plist"
5) Double click to open, (cancel the popup if you did not purchase the iBackupBot) and you will see the prepopulating message on the <string> line 6
6) Delete the offending text, leave all code
7) Close text editor
8) Right click on message.plist file and select "Restore selected item(s) to device"
9) File will be restored to your phone and it will restart itself.
10) Voila! Now it is time to consider that Windows phone....:)

A previous and unrelated text always appears when I need to send a new text. This prevents forwarding texts also, which I need to do all the time for my business. How can I fix? Please help!

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage. Is there a way around this?

I use Mac Messages app for iMessage, SMS, AIM, & Google Chat. When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage. Is there a way around this?
I have my preferences set to save messages history in my Mac Messages app and the issue seems to arise when I attempt to send a new AIM message to someone that I have recently had an iMessage conversation with. I have tried right clicking the person's name in my buddy list and selecting "Start New Chat" and it appears as though I'm writing a new AIM message to them but when I send the message it defaults back to an iMessage. AIM is used for daily communication by everyone in my company and used heavily throughout my industry. Considering a majority of my contacts don't have iMessage synced to their Messages/AIM app on their desktop it is ineffective and disruptive to send an iMessage instead of an AIM.
Any insight or help would be appreciated. I'd love to find a solution without having to turn off the save messages history setting in my Mac Messages app.
Thanks-
Adam

Hi,
The Name at the "To" spot should become a drop down and this should show you the various ways you can connect to them.
A "Chat" with someone can then switch between the various options if they have several ways.
As @mac.com and other Apple issued ID can also be AIM valid Screen Names you sometimes have to take a little care.
If you have made it to be an AIM chat though it should not switch back to iMessages even if that was the last method they used to contact you.
I find in Mavericks (that I am currently booted into) I can double click the Buddy Line in the Buddy List (And I have my Buddy List separate) the Chat will take on the AIM item in the text field.
This was an iMessages conversation before this.
I presume this still works in Yosemite.

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right. With 10.6.8 I used to be able to double click on the name of the group and they would all be selected. I've also noticed that my address book is now called "contacts." Thanks in advance for your help.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone. What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened. Is there a way to start on the homepage?

That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep. What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent. Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion. I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

No, it is asking you to register with your Amazon user id and password. Your Apple ID won't work.

I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

If the phone is turned off, doesn't have an internet connection, or has been restored preventing "Find my iPhone" from being able to work, there is no other way to track it.

Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
