Block unwanted texts
Block spam texts
Check with your cell carrier, and see if they off offer the ability to block specific text message sources.
You could create new Contact just for junk/spam text. In the contact specify No alert, and No vibrate for any text message for anyone associated with this contact. Now when you get spam text associate it with this contact and any future messages will not bother you unless you actually look.
You can associate as many different text sources as you like to this single Contact.
However if you pay for texts received, then you need to contact your cell carrier to get them blocked.
Note: you can do something similar for junk phone calls if you install a silent ringtone (Google it)

How do I block unwanted texts
True call/SMS blocking must be done at the carrier level. So, contact your carrier to see if they offer call/sms blocking. Some do, some don't.

I am getting texts from gmail account members that I don't know
How can I stop this?Are they coming in through iMessage?
There isn't anyway to block unwanted messages at the moment.
What you could do is turn iMessage off so you only receive SMS messages. -
Blocking International Texts / Calls
I am receiving texts from an international source and a number larger than the 10 Verizon allows to be blocked.
I wouldn't mind so much but each of these texts costs me .20
Is there a way to block these texts?
I do not like getting texts that are unwanted and that I do not want to pay for this harassment.Hello FC_Mouse,
I know it must be frustrating receiving text messages from a number you don't recognize. Although we do offer Call and Message Blocking, where you can block up to five 10-digit numbers from calling and messaging you, this option is not available with international numbers. If you don’t recognize the number who you’re receiving text messages from you do have the option of changing your mobile number by logging in to My Verizon to prevent additional charges.

Is there ANY way to access the copy/paste history in iphone4 without an app? I have the latest verdsion of ios, and I'm using an iPhone 4... The issue arose when I copied a large, VERY large block of text, and then another before I pasted the huge one that took forever to hammer out and was unsaved by any other method, and now I really need it all back!!! Please help! Is there no "clipboard" or similar tool that remembers copied text history for a while, or am I SOL on this one? I can tell you this, as important as the lost words are to me, I don't think I could summon the energy or creativity to repeat it, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and possibly rewarded with cupcakes and affectionate (albeit digital) hugs. Thanks in advance!
I'm currently using Linux Fedora system.
Doesn't matter. There's no standard way for D&D on Linux, no single API.
Every application has its own mechanism which may or may not be compatible with any other.
Gnome and KDE groups are doing some work to provide a common standard but as you know the Linux zealots are completely opposed to anyone telling them what to do (such as creating standards) and won't in general follow them. -
When I render a video in photoshop, the video contains unwanted text
The text at the bottom looks like thismy export settings look like this, what am i doing to make that unwanted text appear in my mp4 video file?
This has nothing to do with PS. This is simply VLC's file info overlay. Turn it off in the VLC prefs.

I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my Pages document; howver, the result is that the 2nd page of my document is missing and there are now several following pages in a language that appears to be latin. What sin have I committed and how do I atone?
10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
Start with showing where everything is:
Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

Update 4.1.2 deleting large blocks of text following backspace correction
OK, this is a difficult for me to explain, but here goes nothing. I have been having an issue since the update. When typing a message, when I backspace to correct a wrong word/spelling, and then select the correct word from the predictive text bar, most of my message gets erased and replaced with the one word I selected. Even weirder, the word gets inserted in between the few characters of remaining text. The first couple times it happened, I thought I had accidentally selected the block of text with my cursor, but that was not the case. The text is not selected, but acts as though it is and gets overwritten/deleted. This is happening in Messaging and Gmail (and I am assuming all other typing applications).
Is anyone else having this issue? It is making me wan to throw my phone out the window! Please let me know if you know a fix for this.Mine is doing the same thing! I got the update last night and it is deleting practically my entire message when I backspace. Also, the puncuation options do not pop up anymore like they used to at the top of the keyboard unless you hit space and then backspace.
I'm right there with you...I want to throw this thing out the window. I've seen some cool things this update did, but things I hardly ever would use. The fact it messed with my texting (something I do a lot) has really ****** me off. -
Move a block of text from one document to another
How to make a script moving a block of text from a defined area to next document?
Here is the beast.
--[SCRIPT exportTextBlocks]
Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle: exportTextBlocks.xxx
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
select something in the source document
menu Scripts > Pages > exportTextBlocks
creates a new Pages document with the chunks of texts which where delimited by the markers.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

OK, Duh...press and hold on the text and a small menu will pop up. Then use Select, Select All, or just drag the blue handles to select the text you want.

[JS] Find hyperlinks in a block of text
Is there any way I can easily, given a block of text, find which hyperlinks have their SourceTexts inside that block of text, or overlapping it?
The only way I could think of was to loop through all the hyperlinks in the document and then check to see if any character in their SourceText was === to any character in the block of text we're searching. That seems a little wasteful.This works, but it's slow:
// Returns an array of Hyperlinks whose SourceTexts are
// contained within (or overlapping with) textObj
function checkHyperlinks (textObj, doc) {
var foundLinks = new Array();
var overlap;
for (var linkIndex=doc.hyperlinks.length-1; linkIndex >= 0; linkIndex--) {
overlap = false;
var link = doc.hyperlinks[linkIndex];
var linkText = link.source.sourceText;
for (c=0; c < linkText.length; c++) {
for (d=0; d < textObj.length; d++) {
if (linkText.characters[c] == textObj.characters[d]) {
overlap = true;
break;
if (overlap) break;
if (overlap) {
foundLinks.push (link);
return foundLinks; -
Speaking selected blocks of text in preview
Hello everyone.
Hi, I am a fan of Speech functionality and use 'Start Speaking' in Preview for reading blocks of text back to myself. Whatever text was selected is what would be read. Now suddenly, every time I try to do this, it starts reading from the start of the document, regardless of what is selected. I discovered that selecting View > PDF Display > Single Page instead of Single Page Continuous makes it at least start reading from the beginning of the page I am on, but this is still annoying in most cases. The behaviour works as before in web browsers, but not Preview.
Any idea why this is? Did I change something? Why would the behaviour suddenly change?
ThanksNever mind , a post in the sidebar answered the question.
