Group messaging turns to mms when I don't want it to

I was wondering is there a reason that my group messaging turns into MMS even thought I don't want it is there a reason for this.

Ah, more phantoms - or perhaps vampires since they are sucking your data. At the foot of a recent discussion, I set-out a procedure that might help - just ignore the syncing parts as they won't apply to you:

  • How do I stop the grouping of emails into threads when I don't want to ignore subsequent emails.

    I would like to have emails come in and stand individually, not grouped with other emails in the same thread but can't find the setting to do this.

    Gosh, that was so easy and I thought I had looked there already. Surprised the solution didn't come up when I did my search for answers. Thanks so very much.

  • Is it possible to send a text to several contacts at the same time and not have their replies go to everyone on the list?  I have an iphone 4s and most of the people I am texting also have iPhones.  I do have group messaging turned off.

    Is it possible to send a text from the iphone 4s to several contacts and not have their replies go to everyone else on the original text?  I have group messaging turned off but this seems to do nothing. 

    Do this instead:
    Email everyone instead of texting and use BCC: which will hide all of the people's emails.

  • How do I turn off Firefox checking for updates (I am fed up with Firefox continually asking to update when I don't want to due to previous bad experiences)

    I would like to turn off firefox checking for updates
    I don't want to update due to previous bad experiences with updates (version 4 and version 5)
    I am frustrated by being reminded on a daily basis to update when I don't want to

    Use
    *'''Firefox button -> Options -> |Advanced | -> |Update|''' and uncheck the update option, or opt to ask first.
    * see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_update-tab]]_update-tab
    * and to downgrade
    **[[installing a previous version of Firefox]]
    ** and the download itself [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    Also note that currently
    * firefox 3.6 is still supported, and has had recent security updates
    * plans are to continue supporting it despite any comment on the download page
    **(not sure how long for but see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2011-09-07#Questions.2C_Comments.2C_FYI ) confirming continuing support for Firefox 3.6
    * Firefox 3.6 has updated with security fixes, so is I think now 3.6.22 ; but it is NOT currently trying to upgrade its users to the current firefox release (Firefox 6)

    How to turn on phone when u don't have it

    With iOS 7, if you have Find My iPhone enabled, then Activation Lock is automatically enabled as well.  This means that unless you remove the device from Find My iPhone remotely, or the other person knows your Apple ID & password, they will not be able to use the device.

  • Iam using a table in numbers to plot daily graph lines. If I fill a cell with a text box  at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is tho

    I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
    If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

    The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
    When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
    But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
    For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
    5
    3
    1
    Choose
    -1
    -3
    -5
    The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
    For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

  • How do I stop the screen from magnifying or zooming in when I don't want it to?

    The screen keeps enlarging when I don't want it to.  How can I turn off this function in Lion?

    There are a few ways to get the screen to "enlarge", so it depends on what you are doing to make it happen.
    For example, on a trackpad you can double-tap (not click) with two fingers to zoom in web pages.  Or you can slide two fingers in a spreading out fashion to zoom in.
    Do you have any notion about what you are doing when the undesired enlarging occurs?

  • Why am I always forced to upgrade Firefox when I don't want to?

    I asked this question once b4, & never got a response. Probably because Firefox sucks royally, & they're afraid to answer my question. I'm always forced to upgrade Firefox when I don't want to. I get this stupid little pop-up for 1-4 days saying the new version is available. I ignore it, & without warning upon starting up my computer, Firefox upgrades itself. First of all, I F'ING H8 THAT! Second of all, I WANT TO MAKE THE BLOODY CHOICE WHETHER OR NOT I WANT ANOTHER SUBSTANDARD FIREFOX UPGRADE!! The ONLY reason I stay w/Firefox is that IE sucks even more, & you can't play any Facebook games w/IE. Firefox dev's, I realize I'm just an insignificant user & you don't really care about any of us, but really, must you force us to upgrade? Hmmm, I may just move on over to Chrome.

    You can turn off automatic updates, for details see the "Configuring update options" section of this article - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Updating+Firefox
    Turning off automatic updates in Chrome is not as easy, it involved editing the registry.

  • My wifi keeps coming on when i don't want it to. How do i disable it and keep it off?

    My wifi keeps coming on when i don't want it to. How do i disable it and keep it off?

    kcquestions,
    That's a very good question! It's important to be on the network you want to be on. How are you turning the wi-fi off? If you go into your settings there should be a wi-fi switch as the second option from the top. If we turn it off there it shouldn't come back on until you tell it to. If you select that and press the menu button (3 dots in the top right corner) you can also turn off "Allow wi-fi scanning" which can help not get notified of them when wi-fi is off.

  • How can I prevent Magic Mouse from scrolling horizontally when I don't want it to?

    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse to go with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a great mouse but it causes 2 problems:
    If I leave it on "Scroll with interia" in System Preferences/Mouse, it scrolls horizontally when I don't want it to.  Since I mostly work in Word documents, I often lose my place in the document this way. On the other hand, checking "Scroll without inertia" makes vertical scrolling, which I do all the time, a lot harder.
    The mouse seems to cause what I think of as "fractures" in Word documents--words and parts of sentences will disappear or get crunched together , then reappear when I select the place where they vanished.  They also reappear if I scroll vertically to get the problem area off the screen and then return to it. This wastes a lot of time at best; at worst, I'm afraid I'll lose work.  The problem occurred once in a while with a Logitech bluetooth mouse I was using, but not as bad and not all the time.
    I love the mouse's ergonomics and would like to keep it, but if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to return it.  Would be very, very grateful for any tips!  Thanks.

    Always nervous about recommending sites I have no personal experience of.  On the plus side it doesn't relate to any of the bad sites I am familiar with and it appears to be the developer's site ... but there is no contact point for you to ask questions.  You said in your initial post it was to go with Snow Leopard but this version says it is meant for 10.7 and above.   Did you notice that?   I also notice several other references to Word and mouse and one person found the solution lay in the updating of word 2011 to its highest level.   I can offer no more.

  • Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?

    I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
    I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
    Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
    What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
    I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
    Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.

    Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

    Voicemail is a carrier feature, so contact your carrier, although I doubt they will disable voicemail for you.

  • When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own.  If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice.  It puts periods when I don't want it to.  And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

    What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.

  • Group Messaging Turn off, but recipients still got other replys...

    I sent a group text, with Group Messaging off (didnt realize it was even there).  and people in the group saw all the replys......what gives?  Also, we can only text 9 people at one time?

    I found this a very annoying oversight and I found the only way to get rid of the problem is to connect it to the ovi suite and delete the voice guidance files from there and when the phone asks you if you want to download them don't click yes! Hope this helps.
    Nokia makes some very good features that are often let down by one small thing. It wouldn't cost them much to employ someone to look at the forums and discussions to make simple fixes to the software for problems real users are having.
