Group text ichat with OS X 10.5.6 and 10.4.11

I work in an office with co-workers who wish to engage in a group text ichat. Half of the office has OS X 10.5 while the other half operates off of 10.4.
Specifically, I want to know if there is a way to keep a group ichat going in the office when some people are offline. Is there a way to keep a constant group chat going even though some people may be offline at the time? Can they simply join when they log back in? We were hoping to just have a constant conversation that everyone can participate in and everyone can see, whenever they get onto ichat.
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Two main ways.
Set up a Bonjour Chat which will run a group chat as well as 1-1 chats and people can come and go as they please.
If you all have AIM or Apple Names create a Room and again as long as people know the Room name they can come and go as they please.
In iChat 4 the ChatRoom/Group chats are started from the File Menu > Go to Chat Room.
Entering a name yourself creates a Room to which Buddies can be dragged from the Buddy list.
If you have more that one account Logged in you will need to select the correct Account/Screen Name first.
If you are first there it should say Empty Room at the top.
You can choose to Display (Show) Participants from the View Menu.
I only have one other Mac And I ma not sure if this is why the Bonjour Account does not show in the Go to Room options.
The process is slightly different in iChat 3

I just got the new Iphone 5 and when I send a message in a group text it keeps sending it as an email and as my phone number. The people in the group text are complaining that it is creating a new group message everytime I text. How do I fix this?

Linking/Grouping Text Fields with a Check Box Field

Disclaimer: I know nothing about coding/scripting in Acrobat (or in any language, for that matter).
I have 4 sets of text fields, call them A, B, C, and D. All of the fields in set A will have a value entered. There are 10 fields in set A while sets B, C, and D may have as many as 104. Sets B, C, and D will always have a one-to-one-to-one correspondence with each other (B1 is associated with C1 and D1 only and so on). My dilemma/desire is two fold:
First:
I want to be able to group 3 to 4 of the fields in set C if I tick a check box/radio button/whatever field type works. When the fields are grouped, I want their values to be the same within the grouping. These fields should also be ungrouped when the marker field is unchecked/deactivated. No field will ever be in any more than one group.
Second:
I want values for set B to equal a value of set A if there is a value entered in that B's corresponding C field.
Please don't hesitate to point out where I can make any of this clearer.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph
P.S.
If one or both of these is not doable in Acrobat, would you please kindly point me to a program that can do this?

Steve,
Sorry, I referenced InDesign and this file was created in Illustrator. (I have been working with numerous files created in both InDesign and Illustrator, with numerous challenges). I do not have the native document nor Illustrator software, only Acrobat. When I previously loaded the InDesign-created pdf file(s) into Acrobat, I was unable to use the Text TouchUp Tool because I do not have the fonts on my system that were used to create the documents in InDesign, thus I am denied access to the text. With this file, created in Ilustrator; I assume because the text resides within the image created that encompasses the entire page, the Text TounchUp Tool and Object Tool have no response when I click on the page after activating the tools with a click, although the Tool Bar allows me to click on the icons to activate the functions.
I have read elsewhere that InDesign and Illustrator files are exported as images, thus requiring either Photoshop or Illustrator to fully edit outside of the originating software. However, I was hoping that I could create interactive forms by overlaying fields with Live Cycle Designer - I did not anticipate the default setting of the check box labels being unchangeable. Sounds like I am at a dead-end with this issue??

Group Text Issues with Sprint users

When I send a group text, anyone receiving the text on a Sprint phone gets an empty conversation bubble. The same is true when I respond to a group text that includes Sprint users. All other non-Sprint users can see my messages and replies. I have an HTC One and my default messaging app is Messages version 6.5.798297. Any idea how to fix this?

That is a sprint problem. Have them call Sprint.
If the others are getting them, and it means you are sending successfully then its not a Verizon issue.

HT3529 How can I remove my Apple ID from a phone that is not working? I cannot text anyone with Iphone because the Apple ID and IMSG

My IPhone broke yet again due to "known issues", so I am back to an android. But, I cannot text anyone who has an IPhone, had this issue previously and Apple nor my carrier helped out. I have removed my number on Apple.com, as told by my carrier which doesn't help. Also, the IPhone did a factory reset by itself and cannot get past the plug in with itunes screen, and the phone will not stay on when plug it into a computer.

You need to immediately change the password for the Apple ID, for starters. If have iCloud and Find My iphone enabled on the device you can remotely wipe the device. If you do not then there is nothing you can do except change the password for the account.

Replying to group texts with 6.0

hello everyone ~
i've searched for the answer to this and haven't found a posting, so i'm hoping it's just my phone and not a huge issue for anyone else:
my friends/co-workers and i often times do group texting, but since upgrading to 6.0, i can no longer "reply all" to the text. all i can do is send a reply to the person sending the group.
this is further frustrated by the fact that everyone else can "reply all" and i get the conversation from every member of the group all sent to me as individual text messages, able to reply to one, but never more than one.
help?? this is something that happens a LOT and i would hate to have to tell everyone that my phone all of a sudden has stopped supporting such a basic feature.
thanks,
m.

I've been combing the forums looking for an answer to this question, too. I'll receive group texts, but don't know it's a group text because I only see the one sender, and can't respond to all if I figure out it went to a group and not just me. I can only respond to the sender.
Anyone have any solutions?

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.

Screen sharing from iChat with Mountain Lion

I have not upgraded yet. I want to, but I am concerned that I will no longer have the ability to screen shard with my parents out of state.
I utilize iChat to control my parents computer, they live out of state and are not too computer savvy, this has been a life saver for me. Does Mountain Lion have a feature like this or is it gone with iChat? Is there a video chat option, or am I stuck with facetime???

Hi,
Yes.
You have to use the same iChat ID as you do now. (AIM or Jabber based)
You have to (it's just easier) have the Buddy lists on View (by default they are not)
Yahoo was added for iChat 6 and is in Messages but does not do A/V chats
iMessage (the new Apple Services between Apple iOS devices and Macs with Mountain Lion) is also Text only.
You have to be able to do A/V Chats.
Speed-wise over the Internet this has to at least 128kbps (the same as a Video Chat on a 1-1 basis)
Another way to view this is that Messages is iChat with the iMessages ability shoehorned in and with a main interface change.
When you first start up Messages it tends to push you to enter an Apple ID to "register it" for the iMessage service.
If you migrate an older OS's User Account to the computer the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars (New Preference Pane) picks up on email and other IDs which tends to mean they get added to Messages for you.
You can of course add Screen Names and IDs using the + Button in Messages menu > Preferences Accounts like you do in iChat.
This tends to mean the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts looks very familiar
The Window Menu can look a little different.
CMD + 0 brings up the Messages main window (A Chat Window that does tabbed Chats and an Interface all rolled into one)
Once you have other non iMessages Accounts then CMD + 1 brings up Buddies (A combined Buddy List). It is not listed until they are logged in.
They can be unlinked in the General Section of the Preferences at the "Gather all Accounts into one List" line.
Your "desktop" can then look like iChat used to:-

Group Text messages suddenly stopped working

One of our I-phone 5 suddenly stopped being able to receive group texts. We tried turning off the phone and then back on, as well as toggling the group messaging switch on and back off. Does anybody know why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Cannot send group texts/messages or voice texts.

I just bought my iPhone 6 Plus on December 27. Starting today for some reason, I cannot send group texts (iMessages or SMS texts) or voice texts. Please advise.

This doesn't really help me as much; I know how to send texts, and I am able to do so to individuals. It's just that I can't get group texts to go through. I have service and am sending to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users. Interestingly enough, a moment ago a particularly long text I tried to send to an individual non-iPhone user was not delivered. Does anyone know if there is some lingering issue with messaging on the iPhone 6 Plus? I have the latest iOS software update.

Custom text component with different start and end points for each line

I'm trying to create a custom component extending textArea in which each individual line in the textArea would have different start and end points. For example, the start/end points for line 1 might be 20 pixels in the front and 35 pixels at the end but start/end points for line 2 might be 25 pixels in front and 20 pixels at the end, etc. These boundary values would be passed in. The width of the entire textArea component would be a fixed size. The result would be something like this:
Jack and Jill
ran up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
depending on the boundary values of each individual line of course. The custom component would take a string and render it in the text component with the appropriate individual line start and end points. I'm trying to do this by adding the text component to the display with the passed in string and then adding in spaces in the beginning of each line and adding a "/n" at the end of the line wherever appropriate based on the start and end values for that line.
Just wondering if I'm on the right track and if anyone has any advice on this.

> Applying the marker places the same icon on all lines of the graph and I need a different one for each
What do you have selected when you assign the marker? It
shouldn't apply to all the markers on the whole graph unless you have all the existing markers selected when you apply the new one.
Assigning marker designs is exactly analogous to assigning bar graph designs.
If you have a single marker selected when you assign the new design, it will apply to only that graph data point.
If you use the group select tool (or option-click with the direct select tool) to reclick on an already-selected marker until all the markers for the same line are selected, and then assign a design, the new design will apply only to the selected line. (You can extend the graph by adding more rows, and the new data points will inherit the marker for the line they are on.)
The thread linked to below demonstrates in more detail how the marker designs are scaled:

Text jobs with images - printer cancels

When I print a text document with images the printer stops printing and cancels the print job when it starts to print any image.
Help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey @sudiegal!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some suggestions that may resolve the issue. I can see that the printer cancels the jobs when you add a photo to you text document. The first thing I suggest is to remove the printer by resetting the print system. After the printer is removed re-add the printer and try printing the document again.
To reset the printing system:
1. Click the Apple icon at the top left of the computer
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Printers and Scanners
4. Hold down the "control" key on the keyboard and click with the mouse in the white space bellow the printer
5. Click reset printing system dropdown
6. It may ask for Mac ID and will color wheel for a moment until the printer is removed
To re-add the printer:
1. Click the Apple icon at the top left of the computer
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Printers and Scanners
4. Click the plus (+) icon under the printers list
5. Select your printer
6. Choose HP ENVY 7640 series in the dropdown next to "use" or "print using"
7. Click add
Please post back and let me know if this works out for you!

IChat 6 Mac Lion Group Text Chat Problem

We are running Lion server and iChat video and audio can handle group chat with no problems. We can group text chat if we creat a room first.
But, if you select multiple users in iChat and then press the "A" button, it appears to send a text to the participants, but they never see the text chat.
This worked fine before Lion; and as mentioned, there is no AIM or Googletalk involved (although we do use google apps for our email, etc). We are running the Lion Server iChat with no Federation enabled, so really it should just work.
It seemed to work in Snow Leopard fine. Has anyone else seen this? How is iChat group text chat working for you if you are hosting the iChat server as we are?
Thank you in advance,
Bob

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Mary

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.
