    Why does my contact turn red when I try to text someone?

    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    For iPhoto '11 Start by repairing permissions - usually this is a permissions issue - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - repair your iPhoto permissions

  • TS2755 I only have a problem with one contact...whenever selected the contact turns red

    One of my contacts that I have used continuously in the past now turns red when selected and will not allow me to sent a message

    Well you need to understand the behavior of h-reap or what it's called now, FlexConnect. In this mode, the clients are still remembers on the WLC until the session timer/idle timer expires. So switching between SSID's in h-reap will not be the same when switching when the AP's are in local mode.
    Take a look at the client when connected in FlexConnect in the WLC GUI monitor tab. Thus will show you what ssid and vlan the client is on. Now switch to a different ssid and compare this. It's probably the same because the client has not timed out. Now go back to the other ssid and look again. Now on the WLC, remove or delete the client and then switch to the other ssid at the same time. Or switch SSID's and then remove the client. The client will join the new ssid and in the monitor tab, you should see the info.
    There is no need to have clients have multiple SSID's unless your testing. Devices should only have one ssid profile configured to eliminate any connectivity issues from the device wanting to switch SSID's.

  • Can't get more than 1 email on the send line[turns red].

    Greetings and Thanks for your time, only been using Mozilla for 2 mos.[ex outlook express user]. I want to forward an email, the address comes in nicely, now I want to include another address, as soon as I enter the 2nd address the first turns red and my second address does not enter, only the first letter shows up so I quit and don't send any. I need help, my forward mail is growing. Thanks, Frosty.

    Whilst you can enter an email address then add a comma and then a space and then enter another emails address - this is long winded and needs you to be very accurate with the commas etc etc. It's also not very easy to locate one email address and modify or delete.
    Thunderbird makes it easy - One line. one email address.
    It is so much easier to put one email address on one TO/Cc/Bcc field.
    So after entering one email address press Enter.
    If the contacts are in your address book then you may find it easy to use the Contacts Sidebar.
    In a new Write message window
    'View' > select: 'Contacts Sidebar'
    you can also toggle the view using '''f9''' key
    Select address book
    select contact(s)
    click on 'Addto TO' button or other options.
    You can also double click on a contact listed to enter it quick in a TO field or use drag and drop method.

  • Powerline adapters both turn red

    After switching off my powerline adapters overnight, they are ok for a few days and then both adapters ethernet and status lights turn red.  Does this mean they are faulty or need replacing?

    Hi Tyringmybest,
    Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. You should be able to switch off the adaptors without any issues. Have you managed to get this sorted yet? If not drop me an email with your details. You’ll find the “contact us” form in my profile.

  • TS1702 i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

    i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

    my iphone 4 turn off after appearing message 'temprature high, need to be cool down' after that does not getting turn on by anyhow.

    Hello vijaypatel,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines the temperature warning that you experienced:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    If the iPhone is no longer powering on, we will need to isolate this issue to determine if it is hardware related.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My iPHONE added a  1 to all existing messages. So none my contacts are linked in my messages or in recent contacts??

    My iPHONE added a  1 to all existing messages. So none my contacts are linked in my messages or in recent contacts??

    If you are a Verizon user, try this:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

  • All iWeb folders turn Red

    Last week when I opened iWeb all the pages were Red and I had to try and re-publish the whole site. Tonight it has happened again but this time I have the option to publish site changes, although it is really the whole site. There are quite a large number of pages and it can run the whole night trying to re-create them and of course publishing can fail so I have to keep retrying.
    Does anyone know why they would all turn Red when no actual changes have been done and what is the best way to stop this happening>
    Thanks
    Douglas

    If this is happening to you every time, you should contact MobileMe support. Here's the URL for the UK....

    If they tell you its iWeb that's the problem then post back here.

  • How do i unistall last update on imac. my nikon files are turning red, how do i unistall last update on imac. my nikon files are turning red

    You can undo the RAW Compatibilty Update 4.08 without a time machine backup!
    In Finder go to MacIntosh HD > Systems > Library > Core Services
    In that folder delete the following:
    RawCamera.bundle
    RawCameraSupport.Bundle
    Then download Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.07 from the Apple suport pages.  Here's the direct link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1666
    The app store will then be telling you another update is available, meaning 4.08 which screwed us up in the frst place!  Simply ignore the 4.08 update!  Unless you are using one of the cameras listed as being added by 4.08:
         Canon EOS 70D
         Fujifilm X-M1
         Leica M
         Leica M Monochrom
         Nikon COOLPIX P330
         Pentax 645D
         Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R
         Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II
    By the way, I take no credit for this "solution" - I picked it up in another discussion thread on this subject.
    However, I have been in voice contact with a Senior Support Specialist at Apple Care.  The problem with Update 4.08 removing compatibilty for previously supported Nikon (and possibly other) files has been flagged to Apple's engineering.  

  • Red Timeline box. Not render line entire timeline box turns red

    I ran into an issue on Premiere Pro cs3 after updating my mac to Mountain Lion. No issues until update. The entire timeline box turns red when I insert a video. Not the render line but the entire box turns completely red. anyone have any ideas?
    I realize I need to update, I am a college student, but I do freelance for a nonprofit so I need this up and running as fast as I can.

    That SEEMS like a case where your graphics driver needs to be updated... but NO way for anyone to tell without hardware information

  • Image turns red when trying to add text?

    I'm using CS5 64 bit on a Win7 64-bit machine, with 8GB RAM.
    I have been creating images, then adding text to them, with no problem. All of a sudden, something is going wrong.
    I have created an image out of a white background with green text. I saved it as a .psd
    Later, I opened it in CS5, and clicked the Text tool. I put the cursor on the image, and the whole image box turned red.
    All the options under Layer (like New or Duplicate) are grayed out.
    The Layers box shows just one layer, named Index. Right clicking on that shows all grayed out options.
    I also tried to add text to a previously saved .jpg with the same result.
    If I make a new image, I can add text correctly.
    And I can also add text to other .jpgs I've made previously.
    So apparently it is something to do with the way these particular files were saved or something?
    I tried resetting the Text tool but that did no good.
    What am I doing wrong? What makes these images different?
    I tried to upload the .psd image in question, but I got an error message saying that "the content type of this image is not allowed".
    Thanks!
