group messages come out green instead of blue
I've been wondering about this on behalf of my mum. I found a solution here but it involves deleting the group thread and starting a new with the same participants. Seems pretty useless that iOS 8 would force us to delete messages.
Any other solutions to this?

Unable to get imessage working, comes up green instead of blue
I'm uable to get imessage working, text comes up green instead of blue. I have my setting, message, imessage turned on. What am I doing wrong?
Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked. -
My out going default greeting is in spanish even though i've chosen english in settings. My custom out going greeting is in english followed by a spanish statement. Whats up?
Everything should be current. As far as properties, my import is to "leave files in place". As for Library, I have included 2 pics.
I get that the DCIM could be triggering an issue but at the moment I have all 1TB (100 hours) of videos in and working in FCPX. Although I have had this "copy to library" issue along the way. And those files seem to work fine. As a test I even changed a source file's name and it remained linked to the file in FCP. I also deleted a file and restored it using one of my backup files on a seperate drive with no issue. It seems like it's working with the files just fine but the import is giving me grief.
I was able to import and "keep in place" today by dragging and dropping the folders directly into FCP and it worked this time. Should I worry about anything with all the files I have already brought in from a sd card copy?
Do you think I need to do something different when I copy and import my media in the future? I prefer to use the original MP4s as optimized media takes up twice the space or more.
Thanks,

Messages green instead of blue.
Since installing Yosemite my messages are green instead of blue. Same recipient on an iPhone, same message thread, but now they are green, they used to be blue.
Not a big deal, just curious what happened.Hello hot_spur,
Green bubbles indicate SMS messages.

cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.
iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4) -
Since I downloaded the new update on my iphone 4s I no longer see the delivered message under my text when sent. Also the message is green instead of blue. Does anybody know how to fix this?
You are sending SMS messages. iMessages are blue. Go to Settings>>Messages>>iMessage ON.

Whenever I text this one person, his messages come up green. He has an iPhone and so do I, I can't figure out why our messages are green
We've tried reactivating iMessage, deleting threads, and contacts but nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae). If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices.

Why when I send messages from my iPhone to other IPhones, they come up green and not blue? I have all the settings on for I message b ut my number comes up grey and not black? Please someone help!
Hi evan191,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you still can't send or receive iMessages
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Cheers,

On opening google I get the message:"WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue" - on clicking ok I am diverted to Flash Player Pro download site?? Is this a Adobe product? And why even though i have the latest flash player version I repeatedly get the message?
This is not a message that Adobe is providing, and I recommend that you not click on the link. It sounds as though you might have malware on your computer.
For more information, see: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/warning-your-flash-player-may-be-out-of-date-virus/ or http://wasconet.com/how-to-remove-warning-your-flash-player-may-be-out-of-date/ -
for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.
It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.
