When I send a group text, every response I get is also sent to the entire group. Is there a way to fix this?

There is a weird thing going on with my group text messages; at least I think it's weird. I was recently arranging a party, and sent a group text out to all of my friends from my iPhone 4s. When people responded to me about their availability, everyone on my initial list also got that response. The responder assumed they were only texting me, so they had no idea they were texting everyone! Luckily, nobody sent a reply like, "I won't come because that fat cow Josie is going to be there," but they could have.
Is there any way to make it so when people respond to me it is not a reply all?
Thanks,
Michael

Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

  • I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

    - Have you tried resetting the Ipod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.-
    - Next connect it to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod,  First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode.  If not seen try placing it in DFU mode:
    Recovery mode:

    When my Gen 6 nano fades to black the unit shuts off completely and the music stops. Is there any way to fix this?

    Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.

  • Firefox, google chrome, IE8 lose the ability to search and find text on certain archived books. IE7 can search and find. Is there a way to fix this?

    Firefox, google chrome, and IE8 all have the same error. The search and find functions for certain on-line archive books does not work on these browsers. They claim that text does not exist. In IE7 the text is found. I can be typing in a word I see on the page and all three still bottom out with this error. Try this with the Scots Dialect Dictionary:http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924026538813#page/n5/mode/2up
    or
    A Glossary of Tudor and Stewart Words ( a google book even) http://books.google.com/books?id=hPhLAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=tudor+exclamations&source=bl&ots=8DFgw_eH8t&sig=-Mxf2gwq3nZDVLOCn_y06ZBRIfA&hl=en&ei=O-dNTey0H8PdgQf_2cgf&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CDIQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q&f=false
    Again the search and find function works with IE7 but not these new browsers. And I would love to upgrade from IE7 but cannot.
    Any way to fix this on Firefox?

    Works for me on Linux with Firefox 10.0.1
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When i try to download Firefox it gives me the phone UI not the tablet UI is there any way to fix this?

    When I launch Firefox it uses the phone UI not the tablet UI

    There is a bug in Firefox 9 that causes it to use the non-tablet UI on tablets running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). This is fixed in Firefox 10: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708772
    You can download a Firefox 10 pre-release version from the [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta beta channel] today. The final version will be published to the release channel next week.

  • When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display.  Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

    I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears.  Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

    Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

  • Every time when Firefox is minimized and I tab into it I can't use it. It's completely locked. Is there a way to fix this?

    Every time when Firefox is minimized to the tray and I open it up again i can't use it until I click on a tab that's not focused or on the search field with the mouse. It's completely locked, I can't press ctrl+1/2/3 etc to change tab or ctrl+e to go to search. Last time everything worked like it should was on release 3.5.14
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Edit: I've tried reinstalling Firefox and gotten a new profile, that didn't help.
    Edit2: Updated to 3.6.9 and I still have the problem.
    Edit3: Just installed 3.6.11, the problem is still there.
    I can't understand how 3.5.14 can work and not a singel release after that.
    Opera here I come, soon...

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod

  • There is a delay when I hit the spacebar, and it only happens in Firefox. Is there a way to fix this?

    When I type anything in Firefox like an e-mail, spaces do not register immediately when I hit the spacebar, and it slows down my typing tremendously. I just installed Firefox today, and I had never had this problem before. I tested it in both my word processing program and in Internet Explorer, and there was no delay in either program, so I know it has to be a glitch with the FF program. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, sometimes when I would tap the mousepad to click a link, the screen would just scroll/jump to the bottom of that page instead of going to the next page. It did this on every attempt to click the link (I was reading a message in e-mail and was trying to go to my inbox, but it wouldn't let me).

    Okay, I found the solution. I simply restarted my computer, and the problem has gone away...so far.

  • Volume of microphone button inaudible when pressed when overall volume on high and all other sounds/ringer/alert volume working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday.

    Hello, the volume of my microphone button in text messages is inaudible when pressed, even when my overall volume is on high and all other sounds/ringer/alerts volume are working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday. I've tried rebooting and turning Siri on and off, and can't think of what else to do. All googling results in posts about the mic not recording sound loud enough or not working. My mic works just fine; it does the job of recording, but I want the chime to be loud so I don't have to look at the screen to know when I can speak; I like to hear the chime to alert me. Any help is appreciated!

    I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
    FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.
