Contacts change in and out of imessage

I have contacts switching on and off of imessage? this all started with ios 8

Tape tension has nothing to do with it.
This is a digital camera: if the tape lost tension you'd have no image at all, or a "mosaic" or "blocky" image because of missing chunks of data.
The focus isn't related to the tape at all. It's like moments of blurry eyesight aren't caused by lack of grip on the floor of your shoes!
It's the camera "hunting" for focus, as explained by AppleMan and Karsten. You may not see this on the camera's own built-in viewfinder monitor ..but that really is the cause.
The tape's tension, or contact with the tape-head, is not it. If there were poor contact you'd have sporadic loss of both sound and picture ..but not a change of focus.

  • Filters change in and out points?

    This is the first time this has happened.
    When I add certain 3rd party filters and/or composite a layer above my clip, the in and out points appear to change in the clip (i.e. a different portion of the clip is now in the time line.
    When I double click the clip, the incorrect portion of the clip is loaded into the Viewer window, but when I do a Match Frame, the correct portion of the clip is loaded in the Viewer window.
    Also, when the incorrect portion of the clip is loaded in the Viewer (like when I double click it to load), the current timecode display (upper right) is italicized. It is actuallly the correct timecode, but the video is incorrect and the timecode is italicized.
    I did a Save As..., created a new sequence and cut and pasted the contents of the problem sequence, and set up a new project and cut and pasted the sequence in there to see if there was corruption, but I had the same problem there. i also trashed FCP preferences.
    I have a Mac Pro dual Quad 3Ghz running OS X.5.4
    I searched everywhere for "filters changing in and out points" and "Italicized timecode" and everything else I can think of, and found nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried trashing render files with Render Manager and re-rendering?

  • Batch Capture Randomly Changes In and Out Points

    I'm editing a documentary on Final Cut Pro 5.0.
    Using a SONY DSR-11 firewire deck.
    I logged sets of clips and then batch captured them. I DIDN'T select add handles in the batch capture tool. Some clips, as they're captured, change their in and out points. Sometimes by two frames early, sometimes by two frames late, and sometimes not at all. Several clips even stopped captured with an out point twenty seconds earlier than what I'd logged. The result is that I have clips with media start and media end points that are not in what I wanted. There seems to be no rhyme or reason whatsoever to this.
    Any ideas what's going on?
    Many Thanks if you do!

    Check to see if your tapes have NDF time code.
    If you play a tape with NDF TC using Log & Capture, the current time display will defaut to DF until the tape palys forward long enough for the current time field to update. It is posible to log NDF tapes as DF, in which case the timecode values can be incorrectly re-converted if recapturing.
    Also, If you initiate a batch capture from the browser, FCP will default to DF, and not be able to update the TC format to NDF duriing the batch. The workaround here has been to cue up NDF tapes with L&C, and start the batch capture while L&C is still open and showing NDF TC.
    However, upon upgrading to FCP5 last year, I found that even observing all these precautions and steps, FCP would still shorten the out point of my captured clips on NDF tapes. I was capturing a feature film that came from the UK, and so the starting time on the master was 10 hours instead of 1 hour. When the DF/NDF error occurred and shortened the out point of my 2-hour clip, it did it by several minutes instead of several seconds, because of the starting TC on the tape. In that case, I wound up adding several minutes to my out point and recapturing the end over again.
    I haven't experienced this issue lately, but it comes up every now and then.

  • I accidentally moved all my contacts to computer and out of iCloud. how do I put back?

    I thought I was saving a copy to my desktop and when it said replace I thought it meant replace the old copy on my desktop with the newer version and then the whole contacts are in a different look and I can't use it in various ways I used to be able to use it.  How do I put it back on cloud (if that's what I've done - take it off cloud)?  I don't understand the product list below.  It has a dot on ipad but I am talking about my desktop and there is no choice there for that.
    thank you

  • Changing In and Out point on duration of Clone Stamp tool.

    Hi guys.
    I'm sure topic of this question is quite confusing so here is a clearer explanation.
    What I'm trying to do is to use clone stamp tool on a frame by frame basis to remove some elements. There is a lot of them so I will have many layers in Effects > Paint > Clone 1, Clone 2 etc. Each one of them is only needed for one or two frames and I was wondering if there is a quick way (shortcut for example) to set "out point" for that effect without grabbing them individually from the far right end and dragging it to the left.
    I'm attaching an example of what I'm doing
    I hope there is a simple solution to this as I will have hundreds of these and I would really appreciate some time saving magic.
    Thanks a lot guys.

  • How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

    Here's the issue.  Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods.  We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set.  BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off!  How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me??  In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked?  What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else.  And ask me to turn on wi fi.  How and can this even be done?  Right now my d text is turned off completely.  And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself.  On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again!  HELP!  Thanks :)  Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

    TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

  • Hi i have an iphone 5 and i use iMessage to reach my contacts, 2 weeks ago i switched my plan so now i have no internet in my plan. Since i changed my plan i don't receive the messages other iphone users send me. what do i need to do to get all messages?

    iMessage requires data. You need to have an active internet connnection, either wi-fi or cellular. If you are not connected via wi-fi, then you would need a cellular data connection. If you do not have that, then you will not receive the iMessages. Either get the cellular data back, or remain connected to wi-fi, or you will have to disable iMessage and ensure that you have an SMS texting plan with your carrier.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • TS2755 When I iMessage, I type in my friends name, then select her cell number that is in my contacts.  When I start the iMessage, her husband's name shows up as the default name for who I am messaging.  How do I change it so that her name shows up?

    When I iMessage, I type in my friend's name, then select her cell number from my contacts.  When I start the iMessage, her husband's name automatically fills in as the default name.  My friend is getting the iMessage, but this is confusing to me, the sender.  I want her name to automatically be the default when I select her cell number.  How do I change this?

  • IMessage says that my Apple ID password is incorrect, so I changed it and it continues to give me the same message. What is the problem?

    I have an iPhone 5 and it kicked me out of iMessage. When I went to reactivate it, it told me that my username or password was incorrect. So I changed my password. Still said it was incorrect. However, I can login to iTunes (and here) with the same password I use for my Apple ID. What's going on?

    I have the same problem and I'm wondering if it has something to do with me closing an account that paypal used to pay for my purchases made on my phone before I had the new account activated. . . or maybe because I have not called to say when I will be paying my phone bill.

    How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

  • Is there a way to find out where iMessages are being sent from? I've received messages from an unknown email that are offensive and considered to be harassment.

    Is there a way to find out where iMessages are coming from? I've contacted security personnel at my school and I'm brig harassed. I just want it to stop.

    '''Here is an update to my former response.'''
    Here is a safe way to look at an email which you think is suspicious:
    * right click on the message and select 'Save As'
    * the file name will be the email subject followed by an extension of .eml
    * store it in a folder you can find easily, such as your Documents
    * using your file explorer, right click on the file name and open it with Notepad or a similar text editor (NOT Thunderbird!)
    * even though the format is not easy to read, you should be able to see who sent it to you, and also read the message text.
    Since you are looking at the message in a text editor, there is no chance a link can activate something bad. I have used this method many times, and have found several spoofs of email names of my friends.

    how do i make sure the changes i make on my iphone over-ride my contacts in yahoo and outlook?

    You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone.  That's relatively easy.  Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one.  For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

Maybe you are looking for
