Handoff: SMS sometimes do not arrive when WLAN active

Hi,
I use Handoff with 1 iPhone 5S, 1 iPad Air, 1 Mac Mini and 1 MacBook Pro. In general, it works. Since a while, however, I notice delays in receiving SMS messages: Messages arrive at different times on each device; sometimes, I get it first on my Mac Mini, other times, it first appears on the iPhone. The difference between the delivery can be up to a minute. All devices are on the same WLAN and in close proximity. Apart from the Mac Mini, all other devices are also used at my office network.
Today, I was completely puzzled when I tried to login to my e-banking, waiting for a SMS to arrive. Nothing happened. I tried again with the same result. Then I tried with another bank with no result as well. After I disconnected my iPhone from the WLAN, all messages arrived on all devices immediately. - This was very surprising to me as I understood that Handoff requires the devices be on the same network and connected via Bluetooth. Disconnecting the iPhone from the WLAN would not fulfil the requirement but this made the SMS messages to arrive.
Any ideas what causes SMS messages to not be delivered?
My iOS devices are on 8.1.1, my OS X computers on 10.10.1

if you have issues with iMessage you can turn it off in settings->message then it will not try
sending the messages as data rather then as a normal sms

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

My 'slide to unlock' sometimes will not unlock when trying to answer a call. How do I stop that happening?

My 'slide to unlock' sometimes will not unlock when trying to answer a call. How do I stop that happening?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

With ios 8.3 ipad mini apps sometimes do not respond when touched

a new problem occurred with ios 8.3 ipad mini applications sometimes do not respond when touched Fix it in ios 8.4

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Why does SMS tell me "not allowed" when I try to add an existing contact to one of my SMS Groups?

Why does SMS tell me "not allowed" when I try to add an existing contact?

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Not synced when I activated....now no Outlook to sync

Hi everybody,
I activated my iPhone but I didn't sync contacts and calendar in the biginning because I didn't have Outlook installed yet, thought I could do it later since I was using Palm Desktop. I then istalled Outlook.
Now when I check for syncing contacts and calendar iTunes doesn't show the option to sync with Outlook....only with Outlook Express which I already had when I activated the iPhone.
How do I get iTunes to find Outlook???? thanks

Different versions of outlook programs will not install if the previous version is still active and installed. I suggest saving all of your outlook files-(see below), uninstall any outlook programs, Re-Install the desired outlook program. However, do not upload any saved files until you are able to sync your outlook program with the iphone. The iphone support pages list outlook 2003 & 2007 as compatible programs. I do not know if any other version of outlook will work.
There should not be any problems up loading your saved outlook files after you have sync the programs.
SAVING OUTLOOK FILES 2007 PROGRAM-(Other Outlook programs may differ slightly)
SELECT: file MENU> SELECT: Import and Export> SELECT:Outlook>
SELECT: Export to a file> SELECT: Next>
SELECT: Personal Folder File (.pst)> SELECT: Next>
SELECT: Personal Folders & Include subfolders check box> SELECT: Next>
SELECT: Browse-to choose your export file location
SELECT: Your Option choice
SELECT: Finish
(Use the same file menu process to Import your saved files)

Seeburger AS2 - message does not arrive when "Athentication required" is ON

Hi guys!
If somebody of you is using the Seeburger Adapter:
I have an inbound scenario and everything works fine. But when I set "Authentication Required" flag to be ON, messages are refused. This is strange, because incoming messages are signed.
Any ideas, what could be wrong? There are several settings for certificates and maybe I have some wrong setting.. Does anybody have experience with this?
Thank you, Peter

Sai, you probably don't have experience with Seeburger AS2, do you? It works in a special way - that's why I'm asking people, who have experience with this..
But for clarification: My inbound Seeburger AS2 channel receives message scorrectly, but when I enable uthentication on it, AS2 messages are refused - so they are not in the AE, they are not in the IE.
Peter
p.s. I will not reward your answer, sorry

I just put a new battery into my MacBook and it sometimes says Not Charging when it is connected to a power adapter.

Does anyone know what this might mean? My battery just went down to 7 percent charge even though it had been connected to the power adapter for quite some time. At least a few days. I didn't notice that the battery wasn't charging. Now it says it is charging again, but every once in a while I notice it has gone to not charging. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oftentimes the travel chargers connectors and pins just build up dirt and grime. When it says not charging it's able to give enough power to function but not charge. Try wiping it down with a cloth!

How to resend the verification mail that has not arrived when applying?

I have applied for the new iBook store and it says that I will recieve a verification mail which never arrived.
I changed my mail adress to a more valid one and want to get the verification mail again...
Just trying to do the same application process again does not work. :-( The error is:
The iTunes Store account entered has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore. To continue with this application, you must enter a different iTunes account.
But I don't want to use another one, I want to USE MINE and get the mail. :)
Any clues appreciated.
Ronald

I had a similar problem, in that I received an email from Apple about my application. Unfortunately, I was traveling out of the country at the time and somehow the email, and thus the link they sent to me, got deleted. I just either emailed them or submitted a help ticket and asked them to re-send the email, which they did within 24 hours. It wasn't the verification email, but it was something I needed in order to complete my application.

Hi,
Your answer is explained in the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/48/6e375c0b104e6de10000000a421937/content.htm
this is happening because of the "Update behaviuor in end routine".
It has two options - only fields with active rule(Default) & All fields. Since the default setting is that the end routine is active for fields which have and active rule for it and not for other so for the field for which u have written the code is not having any active transformation thats why its not giving any value after activation.
Please change the properties, for how to set this option chcek the link.
Thanks

Add call button not present when in active call

Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro (the latest one with Yosemite 10.10.2). I dont have an iPhone so no integration has been done. I was watching Modern Family - "Connection Lost" episode and I saw Claire adding another call when she was in a Facetime video call.
But I dont have a green color "Add Call" button on the top right in my device. I searched online and found info similar to what she did like "End current call and answer" or "Accept call" options when another call comes in. But I cant find these in mine.
Can someone help me out with this?

Salim,
In APEX 4.0 we moved the server-site add-row functionality to a client-site implementation, i.e. instead of having the page be reloaded every time you add a row, this is now done on the client without reload. Tabular forms that were created prior to 4.0, but then upgraded to 4.0 or later, keep the original server-site add row function, unless they are manually upgraded.
Not sure why your tabular form might have stopped working, but if you could install your app on apex.oracle.com, I'd be happy to take a look. In general though, I would recommend manually updating your old tabular forms to use the client based add row feature. To do this, just edit the add-row button, and change the button action from "Submit Page" to "Redirect to URL" and as the URL Target, enter "javascript:addRow();". That's all. You could also delete the add row page procress, and the MRU process that was associated with the add row button, because they are no longer needed nor used.
Regards,
Marc

Why BlackBerry sync not working when iCloud activated?

I activated iCould and as usual started syncing with my BB 3G non of my new appointments where added to ical, and when i said replace data,all my calendar on my BB disappeared/deleted and my ical is perfectly ok on the icloud. Please I need a solution to this crazy sync disruption brought in by apple. Never ever have I lost or had a problem(deletion) on my Mac when syncing with other of my device(not apple products).

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
sudo launchctl list | grep screensharing
Drag or copy the selected text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Do this twice: once when signed in to iCloud, and once when not signed in.

Mail is still loosing attachments at random intervals. Sometimes the attachments arrive and sometimes they do not. Has anyone worked out a solution to this yet?

Mail is still loosing attachments at random intervals. Sometimes the attachments arrive and sometimes they do not. Has anyone worked out a solution to this yet?

As with all posts thus far, I have a sporadic loss of attachments. I can tell when this occurs, as the file size clearly shows an attachment should be present, but the "attachments" column fails to recognize an attached file. Unlike some of the suggested fixes, I cannot use "quick look attachments" or "save attachments" to get around the problem. Rather, I must log into my Outlook Web Access for Enterprise Messaging to see and download attachments. This greatly diminishes the advantages of using a program like Mail.
Not only does loss of attachments occur sporadically, with no consistency as to sender, attachment type, file size, etc..., it also can change on a given message with attachments suddenly appearing and, more troublesome, others suddenly disappearing even if they were previously opened!
Because of mailbox size restrictions through my employer, I download most messages to my hard drive. However, if I download a message that has a 'missing' attachment, it becomes lost forever. I can see, again by file size, that an attachment should be there, but can obviously no longer access the attachment using the web interface.
This problem doesn't seem to be as bad on my iPhone 3G. In fact, I can sometimes force an attachment to 'appear' on my computer by opening the attachment through Mail on my iPhone. Again, not a very appealing fix to an annoying bug. It would be great if a fix for this bug were to come soon...

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Hi, thankyou for your response. Can I just confirm that you mean turning the computer on and off again, or re-booting the whole system. If it is the first I have already turned the system on and off, with no luck.
